It’s time for more CAMO, who’s ready? BodyAware has released the new Camo Neoprene Bulge Brief. This isn’t the first Neoprene brief they have created. Last year they had the Bulge Brief in solid black. This year it’s this Neon pair along with a solid black tanga and thong.

This pair is special. It is designed to be a pair of underwear or a pair of swimwear. It can do double duty. Unlike most double duty pairs, this one looks awesome and I think I would prefer to wear it as swimwear, more than underwear. If you wear as underwear it will be very hot. So, I wouldn’t wear it on a day when it’s above 70 degrees. It could be great for winter since Neoprene doesn’t breath.

This pair is made out of soft neoprene, which is 100% polychloroprene. The extra definition pouch are creates bulk to show off a bit and is lined for comfort. If you have worn neoprene, the lining is definitely welcome. It isn’t the most comfortable fabric unlined. One thing you should know is that this pair is to be hand washed and dried. BodyAware will include instructions on how to care for the pair. This could be a deciding factor for you, if you buy the pair.

BodyAware always is creative in their designs It amazes me what they come up with in each release. It ranges from lace to neoprene and everything in between. They are one of the most creative brands in design. You can tell they enjoy what they do and a lot of us really enjoys their underwear, swimwear and bodysuits.

If you want this pair head over to the BodyAware site. It’s perfect for the guy who wants to try neoprene as it’s not too expensive!

COLORS: Camo
FABRIC: 100% polychloroprene
SIZES: Small – XX-Large
COST: $38.95

Be still chums, for the wait is over… Bum-Chums Backless Briefs are now available from one of the world’s preeminent cheeky underwear and swimwear brands.

For this release marks an unprecedented productive and diverse year of new emerging designs and intriguing styles from this brand. Moving into areas where they previously hadn’t explored. May 2018 celebrated the arrival of new styles into the Bum-Chums ASSylum collection but didn’t stop there. The arrival of their new Backless Briefshas surely kept things interesting. It also makes us wonder… what are they working on now? Shot on location in the North England, where the brand is made, this first series of revealing but abridged photos are just a taste. The imagery shows both the bold brashness of the two styles and strength of the British Brand’s hip-sitting cut and the shimmer of the glorious Tactel Polyamide fabric, knitted and dyed in the UK.

Although a limited edition, these two new items have been added to the British Pudding Collection, with the added style of the Raspberry Ripple to the Rhubarb and Custard; a vice versa colour clash.

This new Bum-Chums line includes the benefit of the Bum-Chums brief cut, benefiting from being low-cut briefs, backless in design but at the same time, scooping all of the buttocks into the brief, meaning a well supported back. Featuring the signature Bum-Chums pouch, there’s always plenty of room for manoeuvre in their cuts of underwear. Don’t let that make you think they’re baggy and loose at the front. This brand treads the balance between technical fabrics and clever pattern making. Meaning they rely on the stretch and they way they cut the fabric to give the extra room when needed.

In the images enclosed you’ll find a sleekly conceptual set of compositions and poses, set outdoors, which is a tall order for any brand in the UK, seeing as they only get one week of summer weather. Timing is of the essence.

Priced £15.99 and available online from Bum-Chums.

Sail the buttons away and set the summer mood free. Even if you don’t surf or scuba you can still wear the Scuba sporty line to shape your body perfectly and get a soft, sleek feeling. It won’t fall apart unless you want to; the buttons make sure you state naughty.

The Scuba line comprises of swim Brief and Brazil cut boxer. The Modus Vivendi Scuba swimwear has a super sexy low cut design, with free nickel buttons in each front side; is made of high quality neoprene fabric, without lining.

Available in marine, aqua and fuchsia with contrast waist and leg trims and a brand logo on the back. The Modus Vivendi Scuba swimwear line is available from €91.30

I know a lot of you guys LOVE skimpy swimwear. After many of us try our first swim brief we want to smaller. It makes us feel freer and like we are wearing nothing at all. I think this is true for a lot of guys reading this blog. I know I did back in the day. I used to get the smallest brief I could. One company known for making awesome and skimpy swim briefs is Modus Vivendi.

Desert Low Cut Brief is perfect for summer. First, it’s that skimpy cut that you guys love. Next, it’s a grey print, which is a low key print that you won’t shout, look at me! Some this will be a negative whereas, others it will be a big positive. Lastly, it has an elastic waistband.

This is what Modus Vivendi has to say about the pair:

Modus Vivendi is taking the hugely popular camo trend to the next level with a unique geometric print that is bound to become yet another best seller! Find your inner desert marine and be a tower of strength! The Desert Low Cut Brief offers a Modus Vivendi classic y-front brief style in a new camouflage option with a narrow elasticated waistband and matching detailing. Available in sand and grey, these low cut briefs are perfect for any occasion!

If you are a super fan of printed swimwear, I think you must look into this line. The print as I said above isn’t over the top. The grey on grey makes it an awesome print. The camo pattern that is made is something new and different. Camo is one of those things that keeps getting reinvented by brands. Each time they get more creative than the last. It just amazes me this print has become such a staple in the world of men’s underwear and swimwear.

If you want us to profile a pair, let us know! We want to hear what you guys are wearing.

COLORS: Grey Print
FABRIC: Polyamide 80% / Elastane 20%
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST:  49.30 Euros

Are you going to IML? If you are and reading this, you really love gear. I bet most of you aren’t making the trek and won’t be going. If you are unfamiliar, IML is International Mr. Leather. A gathering of men in leather and gear to gather and have fun over the Memorial Day weekend. And yes they do pick a new Mr. International Leather. If you’re going to IML, I”m sure your gear has been picked out for months. If you are going for a quick visit or want to get some gear where do you go?

One company is Cellblock 13. It’s a great starter brand for gear. It’s a mix of the look of leather, neoprene, and spandex. The Cyber X-Treme line is perfect for first-timers. It’s a harness and a jock or short. They feature “an inbuilt ‘Jock Armour’ cock ring, a removable cod piece pouch and a rear zip detail so is designed for pure pleasure whichever way you want it. Made from a soft printed stretch nylon, spandex blend. The pouch removes on both and the zipper in the back is just on the short.”

If you are a fan of zippers then the Octane line is one you need to explore, Especially the singlet. The singlet is “made of a sleek and stretchy coated polyurethane/spandex to mimic both the look of leather and the touch of spandex. This singlet is designed to hug and stretch enough to show off your crevices and bulges to perfection. The functional zipper down the front of the pouch provides easy access.”

There is plenty more to Timoteo’s Cellblock 13. But, I think it’s one of the best fetish brands out there. They are constantly updating the line and producing amazing new gear. If you need more suggestions feel free to reach out! We will share more fetish brands.

I’m not the biggest thong fan on UNB. I do have quite a few of them but they aren’t my daily pair I choose to wear. I usually wear them when I”m feeling super sexy or have a reason to wear them. My go-to style has always been the bikini brief or pouch brief. When I think back to when I got my first thongs. I’m trying to remember the very first pair I bought.

I remember seeing a brand in the 80’s in one of the fitness magazines. Either Exercise for Men Only or Men’s Workout or there was another back in the day. There was a brand called, I think, Michael David. They had a guy in a yellow brief with what looked to be a black thong over it. My 18-year-old mind had to have one. I had to find one. This was the days before the internet so getting one would be difficult. Plus I didn’t have a credit card to buy the one I saw in the magazine.

One a trip to Rich’s (which became Macy’s), I would always hit the underwear section before going to the bookstore down the mall. There on the shelf was a black thong. Just what I imagined was in the picture. I already had a yellow swim brief. I could recreate the look. I grabbed my sized and walked up to the counter and bought it. Being so excited I skipped the bookstore and drove straight home. The 20-minute drive was killing me. I ran to my room and put it on. I liked it and then did the look with the swim brief. I was in heaven.

There was one problem with that thong the strap in the back was way too wide and annoyed me throughout the day. This would delay any other thong purchases for a while. That was until I started to work out. I joined a gym way away from where I lived and would rarely go. But it was open 24 hours and I wanted something fun to wear. Another store across from the mall had more spandex, swimsuit type of thongs. I went over and bought 1 and tried it out. I loved the fit and feel. Especially at the gym. I was bold enough to change in plain view of anyone in the locker room, I didn’t care. The brands of these thongs were Sauvage. Which I know they don’t make anymore.

Then I went back to buy 2-3 more and told the guy working that I wore them to the gym and we had a conversation about them for about 10 mins. Looking back he was gay too and I think wanted to pick me up. I was so clueless back then on when I was being hit on. But I kept wearing them to the gym.

As of today I still have quite a few thongs. The one thong that brought me back to wearing them after I was a teen was the 2(X)ist Y-Back Thong. It was amazing and I still have several of these in my collection. Other favorites now are Joe Snyder Pride Frame, Gregg Homme Torrid line, and Cocksox CX05 thong.

This coming weekend in the states marks the official start of swim season.  Memorial Day is time to head to the nearest beach, pool or lake for some fun in the sun. We bring our challenge back every year. This year we are kicking off the Swim Brief & Thong challenge. One of these years it won’t be something we will have to promote, well that is my goal.

There are two different challenges, the first is the Swim Brief Challenge. This is our 4th year, I think, challenging guys to wear the classic swim brief or bikini. When we started this challenge the brief was one of those pairs that very few guys have worn. Over the last few years more guys are starting to wear them. I would like to think we were a little bit responsible for some of you out there wearing them.

Next is the Swim Thong challenge. This one took me a little by surprise. I was not expecting guys to totally skip the swim brief and more directly to the thong. It’s awesome. While not my favorite pair to wear as swimwear, I fully support those who want to rock a thong on the beach, a pool or lake. I say you do you and wear what ever the hell you are comfortable in, where ever you are.

You don’t have to be gay to take part in either challenge. You can be gay, straight or bi. We welcome all to UNB and want all guys to wear their style of swimwear. An article of clothing does not define your sexuality. If someone sees you in either style and say GAY. They just aren’t man enough to wear them. They lack the confidence you have! So on that note “Fuck ’em!” We are always here to support all underwear lovers EVERYWHERE.

Are you in the market for a new jock? Martin our Video reviewer is and has posted about it on his Instagram. Hopefully, we will be able to get him in one of these soon. One new pair from N2N Bodywear is the Mercury Jock! It was part of their Feature Friday Sale this past week and I LOVE this pair!

This is an update on the jock, N2N style! You know that Andrew at N2N doesn’t just make any jock, but he makes a “sexy ass” jock! Their site uses those words and I felt it was totally appropriate. The pair has the matte athletic mesh pouch. Which is not a new fabric to them, mesh that is! The back leg straps are bigger than I would have thought but it adds to the sexy factor to me. Each strap has the N2N Logo on one strap and “Made in California” on the other.

There is one important thing to know about this pair. Chlorine bleach, oil (lube, suntan lotion, baby oil, etc) may break down the special matte coating of this novelty fabric. Notice the things that will break down the fabric. So plan accordingly for all your activities while wearing this jock. And if you think, “oh one time won’t hurt the jock,” Well don’t come crying to me when it’s damaged. This one will require special care when wearing and washing. Don’t say you weren’t warned

I am still trying to get N2N to let me know about the new collections they will be released throughout the year. Don’t worry I will find out and will get with them very soon! Because I want to know just as bad as you guys do! I do know there won’t be a large collection released at once.

COLORS: Black
FABRIC: 92% Polyester / 8% Spandex
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $34.00
