4Hunks provided the jock for this review. The opinions are that of the reviewer.

Pros:
Cons:
4Hunks has pretty much is out of the park with their Thunder Jock. While it has all of the basic jock elements, it takes it to another level with so many of the design elements and fabric.
Let’s start with the fabric because it is the first thing you notice when you touch this jock and put it on. The cotton is smooth and silky feeling, it’s a delight to feel against your package. Unlike the traditional jockstrap, there is no wide waistband here, it is minimal and comfortable.
Now let’s look at the styling details. A layer of mesh runs throughout this jock with a pop of colorful cotton fabric underneath. I received the yellow, but red is also an option. I appreciate that 4Hunks knows its audience and embraces some fetish abbreviations for their color options…WS for yellow and FF for red. The ass straps have the primary jock color (yellow or red) with a solid black trim.
So what don’t I like about this jock? Honestly, the only negative was the room (or lack of) in the pouch. I would have liked to see more stretch in the pouch, something that would show the bulge off a just a bit more. This is a fairly common occurrence for me with jocks so if you don’t typically have that issue; this is a great jock you should try.
PAIR: 4 Hunks Thunder Jock
COLORS: Black
FABRIC: 95% Cotton 05% Elastane
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: 25 Euros
We are loving the new pics from Smither’s Swimwear. They have awesome swimwear that you need to check out!
It’s Jockstrap Wednesday!!! It’s time to pick out your favorite jock and wear it. The classic jocks are getting harder and harder to find. One company that is making them is Timoteo’s Cellblock 13. The Tight End Jock is a “classic jock”
The line has expanded into two different colors, grey and navy. This makes 9 colors in the line. No matter your favorite color, you will be able to find it in the Tight end jock.
A classic jock has the wide waistband. Usually with a 3 inch band with stripes in the elastic. The leg straps are around 1 inch, because this design was and still is used in sports and need to hold up. The pouch is more of a mesh pouch than solid.
Check out the entire Tight End line.

Not everyone embraces the snug fit and body-conscious cut of the men’s bikini, but we’re on a bit of a mission to get more guys to give it a try.
Our resident photographer Armando Adajartook fitness model Alex Edown to the beach in San Diego and managed to persuade him to pull on our bright and bold bikini styles.
Following the shoot, We caught up with Alex to see if he was a convert.
Men’s bikini swimwear – or swim-briefs – isn’t a style that we see a lot of on the beaches of North America – most guys tend to favour surf-shorts or swim-trunks. Men wearing bikinis is much more common in Europe, and it’s a style that is fairly universally embraced by gay guys.
“When I first tried them on, I realised how great they are!” confirmed Alex, when we asked him how he felt trying on a bikini for the first time. “Maybe I’m a bit more European in my outlook, but I feel like people should be less afraid of exposing their bodies – there’s just so much freedom and confidence that comes with being comfortable in your skin.”
“What I like about the men’s bikini is that you don’t end up with tan lines in inconvenient places…” added Alex. “Plus, it’s an excuse to show the quads off!”
“This is swimwear that exudes confidence, no matter what your body type is…” advised Alex. “Life is too short to worry about what other people might say or think. The male physique should be celebrated. I feel like the bikini is definitely the style that shows off the male physique the best.”
“If I’m planning a hike or something, I might still opt for shorts or trunks…” considered Alex. “But, for hanging out on the beach, the bikini is definitely where it’s at.”
“I recently moved to San Diego from Oklahoma, so you can imagine how much a previously landlocked guy loves the water…” explains Alex. “My family and friends hate me because I’m on the beach so much. I can’t get enough of it!”
“The beach is the one place I can be active and hike, hang out with friends, or just work on my tan – all in the same day!”
We’ve been following Alex E’s fitness journey through his regular updates on Instagram. We asked him how he stays motivated.
“Growing up, I was always the ultra-skinny kid…” explained Alex. “I’m talking bean-pole-skinny, at 5’11” and 140 pounds. There’s nothing wrong with being lean, but my confidence suffered from it, and as a result, I was bullied throughout school.”
“One day, I decided I wanted to live a healthier, more confident lifestyle, so I picked up the weights and pushed myself…” added Alex. “I ended up falling in love with weightlifting. I love constantly pushing myself in the weight room, and in the rest of my life by extension.”
“I think of Instagram as my fitness log, and if I don’t share my progress, I miss out on being able to look back on how far I’ve come on my fitness journey…” shrugged Alex. “One of the biggest compliments I can get is that I am an inspiration. If I can inspire just one person, I think that documenting my journey is worthwhile. I know what it feels like to be directionless and to lack confidence, so I hope that my fitness journey can help others to find that direction.”
“I’m actually currently applying to medical school…” said Alex, when our conversation turns to goals and aspirations for the months ahead. “I know I’m a nerd, but the sciences and intricacies of the human body are huge passions of mine.”
“I’m also pursuing a modeling career…” added Alex. “Being from Oklahoma, I lacked the resources to pursue modeling, but now I’m going at it full force. I’m hoping to start a career in fitness modeling.”

Bum-Chums furnished this pair for review. The opinions are that of the reviewer.
Ratings
Pros:
Cons:
Lace…a fabric that is growing in popularity in the world of mens underwear, but a fabric that is still controversial for some. Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of wearing my lace myself, but enjoy seeing it on other guys. For me, it falls into the same realm as mesh and I find both mesh and lace to be tricky fabrics when it comes to long-term comfort. The Bum-Chum Men’s Turquoise Lace Brief was no exception.
Overall, the fit of the brief is perfect. The size medium furnished to me was the same size as I typically wear and it fit as expected. I was pleasantly surprised to find the front allowed enough room for my package. That said, after wearing for a while, I found my equipment would rub against the fabric some and it rubbed in a certain way, it was not a pleasant feeling.
While I do not envision myself using this brief for all-day wear, I do think it is perfect to wear for some fun in the bedroom. I really love the turquoise lace with the contrasting black lace trim. It makes for a visually interesting brief. Bum Chums also offers some other lace color options as well, which I appreciate. The brief also appears to be well constructed and looks like it will last a long time.
Overall, if lace and/or mesh usually work well for you, then I would definitely recommend this brief. I would also recommend it for any guy who is looking to branch out and try something new. Lace may not be for every guy, but you never know until you try, and this would be a good starter lace brief.
PAIR: Bum Chums Lace Brief
COLORS: Red, Turquoise, or Pink
FABRIC: soft and stretchy Polyamide/Lycra Fabric
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: £16.00
If you have never tried nylon underwear you may not get how awesome the undies are. I know we have a good number of guys out there who love nylon undies. The briefs feel almost silky against your skin, but there isn’t a lot of give in the fabric. Note the pairs appear to be “baggy.” However the fit is pretty good.
Nylon undies takes me back to my teens. It was big in the 80’s and early 90’s but they have virtually disappeared. Only a few brands have these. So these are old school undies with a new design from BodyAware. Which I’m really glad to see out there! Retro is never really out of style in the world of undies.
This is what BodyAware says about the new pair:
Another great addition to our rip stop collection! Smooth and ultralightweight, our nylon material gives a truly unique feel that stays cool and comfortable all day. Featuring an enhanced front pouch and center back seam for shaping and definition.
Lightweight rip stop nylon
Comfortably shaped pouch
Full back
100% nylon
Machine wash
Made in the USA!
If you are looking for something different in the world of undies, I suggest giving these nylon briefs a try, or if you are a thong fan they have one in a thong. I think we may have some new fans of nylon undies!
PAIR: BodyAware
COLORS: White, Periwinkle, and Olive
FABRIC: 100% Nylon
SIZES: Small – XX-Large
COST: $22.00

Cocksox furnished the Paradise Palms Sports Brief for review. All opinions of the review are my own and was not influenced by the brand).
Rating: 10/10
Pros:
Cons:
UNB Tim recommendation: If you like fun and bold prints, this pair is for you. It’s not a typical print seen in underwear. That is what makes it fun. The pouch is spot-on amazing, still one of the best on the market. If you are a Cocksox fan or just an undies fan, this is a must-have pair.
I am probably one of the biggest fans of Cocksox there is! When I was in Vegas in Feb, I got to see all the new stuff, and I was amazed. The Paradise Palms print is one I MUST own! The super fun beach print is fantastic. It’s not something you see in undies regularly. Let’s not forget to mention the pouch!
This pair was worn around for errands and office work. But it could be used to work out or be active wearing. The Cocksox pouch is perfect for working out due to the support it offers. No matter what you do in this pair, you will love the fit and feel of these.
The construction of Cocksox is one of the best. I have had several pairs that have lasted 5 or more years. The fabric and construction of these are what you would expect for Cocksox. There is nothing worse than investing in a pair and only have it last a few times. Well, don’t worry that won’t happen with Cocksox.
Sizing for me in Cocksox has never been an issue. The brand has had consistent sizing that I have never had a problem. Check the sizing chart to be sure and always go a size bigger if you are on the upper end of the size scale.
I loved this pair! I want more of these and especially the CX01 Bikini! OMG, I love love the new prints that Cocksox has come up with for this year’s collection. Make sure you check them out. They have stripes and original animal prints as well. We will have those reviews soon.
Gone are the days where Gymwear is grey sweats. In the last year or so spandex and other form fitting gym wear is coming out. More guys are rocking the tights at the gym and are skipping the shorts over them!
One company making in roads to the work out wear is 10|11 is making a fun and fashionable work out line. Don’t worry if you don’t want the mesh tights above they have regular gym shorts and even sweats, but made stylish!
It’s great to see more companies doing Gymwear. I think this is a line that is amazing. This shows the design skills and creativity of 10|11. They are designing outside the box and doing something new and fun.
You may not wear it to the gym without shorts over some of them but there is something in this collection for everyone. I think you may step out of your comfort zone and try something different for the gym.
Check out the entire collection at 10|11 Men site!
