This week the pair for $12 Tuesday is the Baksit Wild Stripes boxer brief. This pair is onsale for just one day! Today! It goes off sale at Midnight.

We bet you’ve got a bit of a wild side. Almost everyone does. So, strip down and show off your wild side in our WildStripes collection. Baskit set a fun multi-colored stripe pattern on unbleached premium cotton and spun in a little elastane to give it some stretch for superior fit and feel.

Rating: 8.9/10

  • Fit: 8.3 (Waistband 6.0, Legstraps 10.0, Pouch 9.0)
  • Sizing: 8.3 (Waistband 6.0, Legstraps 10.0, Pouch 9.0)
  • Construction: 10
  • Styling: 10
  • Performance: 7.8 (Gym/Workout 5.0, Night Out 10, Everyday 8.0, Casual 8.0)

Pros: Great novelty & fun branding, classic cut, comfortable

Cons: Only has two sizes, sizing runs small, the pouch doesn’t breathe well

Jockstrap Junkie recommendation: If you like meat, add some “prime beef” to your underwear drawer. All puns intended.

As a junkie of underwear, especially jockstraps, and also have a bit of humor in my personality, I purchased the Meat Classic Jockstraps purely for the novelty value. The waistband has “Meat” on the front and “Prime Beef” on the back of the waistband. The writing makes for a fun conversation jockstrap. I did take a gamble with sizing on this jockstrap, which I will discuss a bit later in this review; otherwise, this jock didn’t disappoint on the novelty factors.

Per my usual routine, I give a jockstrap an all-around wearing. I’m not a fan for wearing the Meat Classic Jockstrap for working out. My beef is that the pouch doesn’t breathe well due to the double lining. One of my main reasons for wearing a jock is for breathability. However, the pouch is very comfortable, has ample support, keeps form, and I would wear for a night out, lounging around, or every day.

For a novelty brand, I was expecting the quality to be “choice” however, Meat Underwear came thru, and “prime” is what I got. This was a pleasant surprise. The nylon/Spandex blend makes for a nice smooth finish on the pouch, the waistband is a soft material, and the leg straps don’t cut into the rump or hammies. I would describe the silhouette of this jock as a classic cut where the leg straps connect to the waistband at the hip, and the pouch covers the sausage & meatballs. Pouch support is pretty standard, no extra lift features, and the double finish seam creates a nice finish both inside and outside of the pouch.

Jockstrap Stats
Waistband 1-3/4″
Leg straps 1.”
Material 86% Nylon
14% Spandex
Silhouette Classic
Pouch Double Lined
Center Seam
Sizes S/M 28″ – 34″
L/XL 36″ – 42″

Here’s where I gambled and lost on the first try. With the sizing of S/M is 28″ – 34″, I thought I’d try the S/M as I have a 34″ waist. I was wrong as the sizing is close to the lower end of the range; therefore, my second order was the L/XL, and they do fit like I would expect a large waist jockstrap to fit. Guys on the XL spectrum, you will probably have problems with these jockstraps running too small.

If you like a bit of fun in your underwear drawer, get you some Meat! Whether your lean or a bit more marbled, these will definitely be a fun conversation piece. Life is meant to be fun, so go for it!

PAIR: Meat Classic Jockstrap
COLORS: Black, Navy, Red
FABRIC: 86% Nylon, 14% spandex
SIZES: S/M, L/XL
COST: $19 each or 3 for $43
COUNTRY of ORIGIN: China

REVIEWER STATS
Height & Weight: 5’9” (175 cm) – 195 lbs. (88.5 kg)
Jeans Waist Size: 33″-34″ (83 cm – 86 cm)
Build: Athletic, squats are my friend, six-pack has some insulation
Sausage & Meatballs: Not an all-beef foot long, but not a beanie weenie either.

Do you love bright colors and bikinis? If you said yes to both of these the new N2N Bodywear Air Basic Bikini is for you! N2N Bodywear made this is four amazing pops of color! And we all know N2N isn’t afraid of color.

The AIR BASIC BIKINI has returned in all it’s glory in an array of bright colors to welcome beautiful autumn! The line has a full pouch and full booty coverage. Made with a 60% Rayon 32% Polyester 8% Spandex fabric blend.

The four colors of the new line are Red, Royal, Orange, and Kelly. Four amazing primary colors that will be a great addition to your underwear drawer. My personal opinion is that you should wear underwear in a bright color to enhance your mood. If these don’t do it then nothing will.

I would suggest getting every color you want when you order. Like many of the lines that they have released, they sell out quick. So, don’t waste time and order soon and order often.

Check out all the new lines before they sell out!

If you have wanted to get some new Candyman, you’re in luck! They just released their newest line for Fall. It’s everything you would expect from Candyman lace, thongs and new costumes! They continue their mixing of masc/fem line

I think Candyman definitely fills a space in men’s underwear. There are a lot of guys who love the mix of the masc/fem. I am one of those guys, thought I don’t own a lot, I do see the draw to these. Other guys I know have loved the preview I gave them.

If you aren’t about lace and skimpy cuts, there are also some new costumes. The three are Pirate, Cowboy, and Police. These three seem to be the most popular of the costumes. One of the first they ever created was the cowboy.

Here are some lifestyle pics of the collection. We will give you more in-depth view of the collection over the next week or so. View the entire Candyman Collection at the UNB Store.

McKILLOP XXL-BULGE ENVY SPORT JOCK – NEW COLORS ARE HERE!

Although our HUGE-ly popular attention getting McKillop Max Bulge Jockstraps fit most guys, we had a few customers tell us they couldn’t fit their LARGER than life junk in them. So we tasked McKillop to make us a custom jock brief for the really BIG guys. The XXL-Bulge Envy Sport Jock was the answer. Joining the original black and white are two new colors – blue and red.

Quite simply, XXL-Bulge Envy is a very see-through sheer mesh jock brief that’s all about the bulge. It has a very large, ergonomically designed pouch that’s cut short at the base of the 3D pouch to help lift your boys up and out. Despite that villain called gravity trying it’s best to keep your hulking monster down, Envy puts up a pretty damn good fight against it. Look no further than our models Markus Kage and Caleb King for proof it works – even with their rather large endowments they fit in easily and with room to grow!

The back, of course, is like a brief with a cutout to frame your best assets.

McKILLOP MAX BULGE LONG JOHNS – WITH INCLUDED COCKRING – THEY’RE BACK!

Summer has said farewell, Fall is here and Winter is unfortunately heading our way – but things have never been hotter with the return of our sexy and completely outrageous McKillop Max Bulge Long Johns. To be honest, you can wear them as long johns but also as lounge pants. It’s really up to you but first let’s talk about the main event… the pouch:

Sure, it’s all about the bulge – but McKillop is taking bulging to the extreme. With a secret weapon, well, two to be exact to ensure you’re bulging sky high! First in Max Bulge’s arsenal is a front pouch panel that’s super contoured and cut high to sit up under your balls. Second, a double-wide elasticated fabric cock ring is included with every pair of long johns for extra lift and to potentially restrict some blood-flow. The result: your manhood is hoisted up and put out there on display for all to see, as it should.

The long johns are made with a second-skin Modal fabric that’s not only super soft and stretchy but thin enough to wear under your pants or pair of jeans. It’s an extra layer of warmth while outside in the cold with the added bonus of creating a prominent bulge that will get you noticed, big time. Once you get home, strip off those jeans and just hang out on the couch in your bulging johns – they’re that comfortable. Just be warned: alone or with someone else you’ll be hard pressed not to give those bulges the attention they’re just begging for.

Max Bulge Long Johns are available in five colors, black, navy-blue, red, royal-blue and white and all come with McKillop’s signature 1.5″ wide elasticated fabric cockring.

By the way, in case you’re in a situation where you don’t want the extreme bulge effect, simply wear them without the included cock ring and they’ll still look amazing.

TAKING A (MUCH) CLOSER LOOK AT MEN’S UNDERWEAR

Today Deadgoodundies in the UK invites us to take a much closer look at their men’s underwear collections – because a picture doesn’t always tell the full story.

“Online sales rely on great photography but there is always more than initially meets the eye,” explains DGU founder Adam Davies. “Obviously customers can’t feel a product, so we ensure our descriptions explain as much as possible.”

Adam mentions several factors that warrant a closer look: “The depth of a side seam, the width of a thong or string, details of pouch shaping or enhancement,  depth of colour or transparency and fast dry fabric could all be important. But it can also be about what’s not there that becomes apparent from the description – for example no lining on a pouch, no back or side seams and no tags inside so the fit is totally smooth.

“Often very tactile or beautiful fabrics don’t come across clearly even with the best images of male boxers, briefs, thongs and bodies. We have to convey the feel of the material, whether it’s fine or substantial, technical or tactile, and explain the subtlest finishes and effects.”

DGU’s in-house writer partner Jane Garner who as a journalist has a way with words. She’s written and edited descriptions for tens of thousands of men’s underwear products for the website https://www.deadgoodundies.com/ since 2004. Jane adds: “My job is to keep descriptions clear and consistent, to include the aesthetic, tactile and practical features of each piece as well as basics like washing instructions. We have to express the delight in touching a peachy soft material that makes you smile…”

Jane’s tip: if you want to check out the detail on a picture, choose the palest colour even if that’s not the one you want to buy.

OLAF BENZ RED 1912 MINI STRING £27.00

How many different ways can you describe a divinely soft, translucent fabric? Jane writes that this men’s underwear thong feels as soft as an angel’s wing. The same microfibre is also used for a Brazil Brief and Rio Tanga, each £29.00, and a Mini Pant boxer brief at £31.00, all in red, white or black.

IMPETUS INNOVATION BRIEF £16.00

Looks like a standard men’s underwear brief doesn’t it? This male bikini is made using a fabric developed for NASA. Outlast is made from natural fibres but copes with extremes of heat and cold – as it did for astronauts in space. Absorbs and releases heat and helps with moisture management too.

https://www.deadgoodundies.com/impetus-innovation-briefs

MODUS VIVENDI SUEDE LOW CUT BRIEF £21.00

Imagine the heavenly touch of seriously expensive butter soft suede and you have this men’s underwear slip just right. Modus Vivendi are famous for recreating nature’s most touchable fabrics in manmade yarns (they still do mohair) and this is their latest. Also available in a tanga brief – both styles in camel, brown or light blue.

https://www.deadgoodundies.com/modus-vivendi-suede-low-cut-brief

SUKREW LINCOLN BRIEF £16.99

The sexiest men’s underwear isn’t all about the bulge (though that helps) – it’s also about proportions. The balance between the depth of a waistband and the prominence of an enhancing pouch has to be right. British brand Sukrew has created its own pouch profile, used to superb effect in their latest silky brief, also offered in bright red and royal blue. DGU customers can’t get enough.

https://www.deadgoodundies.com/sukrew-lincoln-brief

OLAF BENZ RED 1907 RIO TANGA £29.00

This is one of those fabrics that no photograph can do justice – the subtle surface is a fine snakeskin look created with matt and shimmering finishes on a silky single layer fabric. Also available as a Mini String (£27.00) in black, red or mint green.

https://www.deadgoodundies.com/olaf-benz-red-1907-rio-tanga

SEAMLESS MEN’S UNDERWEAR AT DGU

Both snug, both seamless but a different shape, DGU’s new seam free male slips have to be worn to be fully appreciated. As the way these ultra smooth men’s underpants are made ensures an adaptable and very personal fit, Jane has advised customers to buy up at least one size.

IMPETUS COTTON SEAMLESS BRIEF £13.00 in black, white, grey or deep navy

https://www.deadgoodundies.com/impetus-cotton-seamless-brief

MODUS VIVENDI SEAMLESS MINI BRIEF £23.50 in black, white, red or French navyhttps://www.deadgoodundies.com/modus-vivendi-seamless-mini-brief

We have profiled the amazing gear that SkinFit makes from singlets to runners. They have an entire underwear section. The best thing, you can get it in any of the 36 colors they offer! That means if you find the perfect style, you can get it in the perfect color.

Their underwear has thongs, bikinis, trunks and boxer briefs. They have a great range of styles. My personal favorite is the Curve Bikini. As you can see in the picture below it’s a great pair. Again, you can customize the pair with any two colors you want.

Just imagine that you can create an entire gym look and have everything match. To some of you this is a big deal, it’s the ultimate goal. But finding gear in all the same color can be difficult, especially if you are buying from different brands. Your runners, tank/shirt, underwear can all match!

I think in 2020 we are going to see a lot more of SkinFit. They came on strong this year and continue to add great colors and styles. Check out all their gear.

There is one that is true about classic briefs. They never go out of style. They can be the traditional tighty whites or they can be in any color variation but they are still in style and “on trend.” (God I hate that phrase so much but it’s true).

aussieBum has updated their classic line to include three new colors. The colors are Pacific, Mango, and Punch (seen above). I will say that this is a pretty awesome line. I have several pairs of these and I hear what some of you may be saying, “This will fit like other classics and not give me the fit and support I love.” Well, I can tell you that this pair fits amazing. It’s not the “classics” you grew up on. They won’t loose their shape or let you down when you need the support.

In fact, I have a purple pair I was given for my birthday, that I love wearing. It’s very much in my rotation and the only issue is I don’t have purple shirts to match it with. DOH!

This pair is also a great starter pair for any friends wanting to try better underwear. It’s no so much out of their comfort zone, but it has an improved fit and colors Check out all 18 colors at the aussieBum site.

Set the trend status this winter and make appearances without fail.

Inspired by the vivid life in Mexico the Suede line delivers a mix of culture and fashion. Blend the soft camel and bright blue colors with a Mexican vibe and you get an astonishing, captivating look. The flamboyant style of Frida Kahlo combined with this chic and minimal style Suede line creates a pure and exquisite subtle fashion statement.

The Suede line comprises of Low Cut Briefs, Tanga Briefs, & Shirts.

The Modus Vivendi Suede line features classic style underwear with the Modus Vivendi logo discreetly placed on the front. Made from polyester elastane fabric is available in camel and light blue. The extra soft suede feeling on this underwear makes it super comfortable and is perfect for highlighting the natural beauty of the body.

The Modus Vivendi Suede line is available from €24.80

It’s Jockstrap Wednesday! I thought we should mix it up a bit. A mix of masculine and famine. That is a lace jock! This jock has been gaining steam on Twitter and a lot of people are talking about it.

This is a burgundy lace jock from Candyman. The jock has a solid pouch and lace side and back and the typical jock. It’s actually more of a jock brief! But it’s something that is definitely different!

The wall between what is masculine and feminine is breaking down in the world of men’s underwear. When I started UNB, lace undies were a sub fetish and very few guys wore them. Now, they are widely available and it’s not just for guys who want women’s underwear.

Candyman is a brand that has always created undies outside the box. Some have been super crazy while others are more conservative. I prefer their super wild pairs, because they push the industry to look at new ways of designing undies.

Are you man enough to wear a lace jock? If you are pick up this jock!

PAIR: CANDYMAN 99312 JOCKSTRAP COLOR BURGUNDY
COLORS: Burgundy
FABRIC: 85% Polyamide 15% Elastane
SIZES: Small – X-Large
PRICE: $20.33

3 simple hacks to look pumped on the beach

Personal trainer and fitness model Jeremy Winter obviously knows all about how to get lean and strong, but when he hit the San Diego beach for a swimwear shoot with photographer Armando Adajar, he was looking extra pumped.

Jeremy’s impressive physique definitely showcased the swimwear range from Hunk2, and turned plenty of heads.

We quizzed him on how he achieved the kind of pump that enables you to hit the beach with confidence.

Putting the work in

“I take my fitness very seriously…” confirms Jeremy. “A few of my family members are a bit overweight – I didn’t want to be like that. I’ve been active my whole life – swimming competitively since the age of four.”

“Swimming was my main focus in school – that kept me lean and toned. Once I moved to California, I pumped up my training. I got a personal trainer who helped me understand how to build muscle and how to tone up.”

“After that, I got my own personal training certification. I do a lot of HIIT workouts, mixed with weights. I teach at two HIIT gyms, so I go there everyday to take class and do my strength training.”

Beach Body Pump – Hack 1: Intervals

Switching your gym workout to intense interval training helps to burn maximum calories – getting you lean and strong and ready for the beach.

Intense intervals gets your body working hard, meaning that even once your workout is over your body continues to burn calories at a higher rate than normal.

You can use a number of different exercises to achieve this effect – it could be on the rowing machine, the exercise bike, or running – what you’re looking for are short bursts of intense exercise with only minimal recovery time between each set.

Beach Body Pump – Hack 2: Hydration

You read some stories about fitness models or body-builders who cut back on liquids ahead of a big shoot or competition in order to look as ripped as possible.

That’s a really extreme step and isn’t something you should be considering if you just want to have some fun on the beach.

If you want to look your best on the beach, you should be drinking more water – not less. Staying hydrated will help your metabolism function effectively, and will help your skin look as fresh as possible.

Try and avoid eating anything that contains a lot of salt. Salt encourages the body to retain fluids and will leave you feeling a bit heavier than you want.   

Beach Body Pump – Hack 3: Confidence

It’s important to remember that no one is going to be scrutinising you in the way that you study yourself in the mirror. We’re all our own worst critic. 

We’ve all got things we’d like to improve about our bodies, but hitting the beach with a smile and a sense of fun is a lot more important than whether everyone appreciates the hard work you’ve been putting in at the gym.

I’m all about feeling comfortable in your own skin…” says Jeremy. “Don’t worry about what others think. Go out and live your best life!”
