RounderWear – UNB Holiday Guide 2016 from UNB Blog on Vimeo.

One new brand in the guide this year is RounderWear. If you aren’t familiar with them, they create enhancing pairs that gives you a little more in the back or in the front. The pairs we featured in this years guide are the Padded Tech Boxer, Padded Tech Trunk, and the Lift Tech Trunk. Models are Drew Ater, Wes Holland, and Damien Michael Chase. See the entire guide on our website – http://bit.ly/2hwewQA

With the demise of Bike Jockstraps, you maybe looking for a great alternative for the classic jock. Well, look no further than JockUp. They have a jock that is everything classic. It has the wide waistband, comfy pouch and leg straps. They even have the stripe in the waistband and label on the front!

JockUp is a company I have profiled on UNB a few times. I think they are doing some great things in the world of underwear. They do classic cuts but updated for the modern man. Matthew the owner, has really found a great section of the market to be in!

They have had the white classic jock, but no colors. He said a while back that they would be releasing colors in the near future. He has made good on that promise. I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw the red! It made me very happy. There is also a black jock as well.

If you are a jock fan and looking for a replacement for the Bike #10, I highly suggest giving the JockUp classic jock a try. As I mentioned above, it has many of the same features as the classic jock. They have updated the fabrics to meet the needs of guys needs today.

The fabric is a Bamboo blend. You may be asking why is that good? It has breath-ability for working out. It also has some anti-bacterial properties as well. It’s a great update to the classic jock. I know many don’t like the old school nylon pouch. They want a bit more support and comfort.

This is perfect gift for the jock lover in your life, or maybe for yourself. As I said it’s in white, red and black currently.

BRAND: JockUp
PAIR: Classic Jock
COLORS: Red also in White and Black
FABRIC: Bamboo/Elastic blend pouch
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $29.95

This year we talked about underwear as gifts. Either its for you or someone else. If you haven’t read that post, head back to the UNB Archives for the Underwear as Gifts post. This post got me thinking. We all love certain things and are uncertain about what others like. It hit me why not give a subscription as a gift.

How do Subscriptions Work?

Think of it as the underwear of the month club. Every month you get a new pair of underwear. You pick the size and usually style. Then each month like clockwork you get something in the mail. Some of the services will let you pick one style. Like a brief, boxer brief, jock or thong. And you have to stick with that style. Others, will let you get a random style. So you never know what you’re going to get.

Some of the services pick a brand and send out the entire line. That means they will send out that line in each style. Such as the SupaWear SupaDupa line. Whereas, others will mix up what is sent out not always doing the same brand. If you’re getting this along with someone else you may not want to be matchy matchy, but that depends on your style.

Lastly, you can get underwear delivered in a few options. Most do 3 months, 6 Months or a Year. Just look at each site to see what they offer.

For Yourself

If you read UNB on any regular basis. You have styles and brands you love. Some of you even have very large collections. For someone to get you undies, it could be difficult for them to give you something you don’t have in your collection. A subscription will allow them to buy you underwear but get something new every month. Maybe even from brands you haven’t tried or mix up and get different styles.

You can suggest a service to someone close to you. Especially, if they know you love underwear. It takes the hassle out of trying to find something you don’t have in your underwear drawer.

For Someone Else

Let’s say you have a friend who wants to try new undies. You could go out and buy a pair, but wouldn’t exposing them to more than one pair be the perfect gift? An underwear a subscription will expose them to different styles, brands and fabrics. It will allow them to explore underwear with each new shipment.

Give them a 3 month or 6 month subscription to expose them to many different brands. I would suggest getting them a subscription that rotates styles as well. They may Thank you for it later!

Suggestions to Subscription services

There are tons of services. But, here are a few we recommend. I have tried most of these and don’t think you will have any issues with them!

Enjoy Undies this Holiday Season!

Croota – UNB Holiday Guide 2016 from UNB Blog on Vimeo.

Croota is an Australian brand that we have worked with many times over the years. They been in one of our previous guides. They make some awesome boxer briefs/trunks. One of their favorites of readers are the seamless pairs such as the Dirty HIpster, Jetliner Denim and Dancing Dahlia. Also, they have super fun prints and colors. Our models in this video are Drew Ater, Wes Holland, and Damien Michael Chase. See the entire guide on our website – http://bit.ly/2hwewQA

What could make Cocksox even better? Silver and Gold! I’m not talking made out of the two metals but metallic colors! The new Lustrous Elements. “The super-soft Cocksox waistband in lustrous metallic gold and silver, boldly contrasting against backdrops of black and white. Compound this with signature Cocksox enhancing comfort in high performance Supplex fabric. These perfect mix of elements are a hallmark for essential contemporary underwear.”

They have released the Lustous Elements collection is in 5 styles. They are the CX01MT Bikini, CX76MT Sport Brief, CX21MT Jockstrap, CX12MT Boxer, and CX05MT Thong. The two colors as mentioned are Gold and Silver. The Gold is paired with a dark fabric that makes the gold POP. The silver is a little more subtle with a white fabric.

Cocksox has it’s own design style. I think it their down under sensibility. They use the best fabric and colors that make their underwear look as amazing as they feel to wear.

Comfortable Club provided the Men’s Bliss Modal Trunk with Fly for review.

Rating: 8.6/10

  • Daily Fit: 10/10
  • Sizing: 8/10
  • Construction: 8/10
  • Styling: 7/10
  • Daily Performance: 10/10

 

Pros: The pair fits amazing, like a second skin. The fabric is super soft against your skin keeping you comfortable all day long. The pair includes a fly that is a top down style so it makes it look different.

Cons: The pair is fairly plain looking, just one solid color. There isn’t a distinct waistband which some people may not like. Not much of a pouch for people.


This is the first time I have ever worn a pair of underwear from Comfortable Club and I must say I was excited. The Men’s Bliss Modal Trunks with Fly were super soft when I pulled them out of the package. This pair is similar to what I enjoy wearing. I am a big fan of trunks so I was excited to try a new brand. I loved the Malibu Blue color as it is bright stylish.

I sort of did everything while wearing this pair of underwear. I went to work, ran errands, relaxed. Through everything put this pair through…they held up nicely and were comfortable. The pair stayed comfortable all day long, feeling smooth and soft against my skin.

This pair is made really well. The fabric is made of 92% Beechwood Modal and 8% Elastane. The trunks also feature a horizontal fly. It makes it easy to get your “junk” out quickly. The horizontal fly also adds a unique look to the pair. The stitching on the fabric is extremely soft as well…which makes you not even notice you are really wearing the underwear. The underwear also features a Modal covered tagless waistband.

I got size small and they fit me perfectly. I can wear small or medium depending on the underwear and the pair fit amazing. It hugs my bubble butt comfortably. The pair doesn’t have a real pouch but the fabric is flexible that you can fill it out and still be comfortable.

Overall I loved this pair of underwear. It is extremely soft against my skin and stays in place all day long no matter what you put it through. The waistband is soft and comfortable against your skin.  One cool thing they offer as a company is a 100-day guarantee. If you don’t like the pair, they will exchange or refund your purchase within 100 days of your purchase.

Modus Vivendi is without question one of the world’s most prolific brands of men’s underwear and, as you probably know, it is Greece’s premier brand.

As it does each year, Modus Vivendi has put forward in 2016 a very extensive collection. It has featured designs of many different inspirations, presented in photographic campaigns from the four corners of the earth.
With its latest release the brand returns home, to Greece. The new Meander Line pays tribute to Ancient Greek civilisation, drawing inspiration from perhaps the most recognisable symbol of classic geometric art, the ‘meander’. This ancient key pattern has decorated countless buildings and adorned sculptures and friezes, becoming an icon of Greek art.

The Meander Line is luxurious. It comprises underwear and loungewear in two colours, blue and white, embellished with gold accents. Made from a top-quality cotton blend fabric, the line offers favoured styles that will please every man.

The campaign for the Meaner Line was produced in Athens. The photographs are the work of one of Greece’s top creative photographers, Vangelis Kyris. Our Greek kouros, Christos Katsavochristos, presents the line in classical poses of strength and control. This stylish underwear is bold, masculine and comfortable. As you would expect from Modus Vivendi.

PPU Tuxedo 1312 Thong and 1325 Boxer BriefNeed some underwear for your wedding or to wear with your tux for other formal occasions? Now a days tuxedos aren’t just black and white. You have color options. So PPU added two new colors to their Tuxedo line of thongs and boxer briefs. They already offered the traditional colors of black and white in both the thong and boxer brief.

Now you can get your tuxedo thong or boxer brief in white or blue too. Both styles feature a gray wide waistband with the PPU brand name on it. The white version does have some red incorporated into the waistband. The blue features the v-neck display of the white shirt with a blue button(s) and bow tie on the pouch. For the white color, it has a red shirt for the v-neck opening with white button(s) and bow tie on the pouch. The original color black and white features a white waistband with a white shirt with black button(s) and bow tie on the pouch. The thong only shows one button while the boxer briefs shows three on the shirt on the pouch.

They are both made out of a stretch mircofiber fabric made of 93% nylon and 7% spandex. They describe the fabric as feeling great against your skin and forms an ultra smooth fit. Both the thong and boxer briefs are available in sizes small to extra-large.

The Tuxedo line 1312 and 1325 would make for a great pair of underwear for your wedding night. I’d push you to go for the thong for an extra special night. Though either choice would be a fun way to sure up your wedding day wear. They’d also be a great choice to wear under your formal wear for other events. Why not have fun with your underwear and be formal throughout your whole outfit.

Nasty Pig is back with their last collection of 2016 and what better a launch for the shiny season than the Nasty Pig Titanium Collection. With the serious jet blackmodal and metallic (titanium) waistbands and iconic Nasty Pig pig logo front and center, this brief is going to get you noticed. It may be uncomplicated but it’s striking in it’s simplicity and the perfect brief for dressing up (could this be your new year’s outfit?) or getting down and dirty.

Choose either the Titanium Jockstrap or Titanium Brief (or both).With a jet-black pouch in Modal, our all-time favorite modern fabric. It’s natural, made from the beech tree, feels and wears like lycra but breathes like cotton. The double walled pouch won’t cramp your style (or your junk) as it’s not only contoured but the hint of spandex means it’s super stretchy. The pouch is edged with a contrasting grey piping for looks and added support. But what sends the jock and brief over the threshold of being basic to the precipice of ballastic is the above mentioned shiny metallic one and half inch wide waistband and the iconic pig logo front and center.

Our model Manny is putting both the brief and jock through their paces so we sure to hit our website to see the latest addition to our model roster.

Find this on Jockstrap Central.

The UNB Holiday Guide is out. We had a series of delays this year, so we were unable to release on Black Friday. With all that went wrong, we had a lot of fun shooting the guide.

This year’s guide features Clever, N2N Bodywear, Croota, JOR, Rounderwear, Dotwear, Krakatoa, and Cocksox.
