Jocks are super fun to wear! They haven’t been as popular as thongs have been, but there are still some amazing jocks out there. Sukrew makes some of the best jocks on the market. Their roomy pouch is perfect for just about every guy out there.
Here is what they say about the new jocks:
With striking branded straps to match the bold waistband, the Dover Jockstrap takes a classic style to another level. 2cm elastic straps frame the open back while the low-rise front balances exposure with just enough coverage. Sensually soft and silky, while breathable, the polyamide-elastane fabric pouch fits perfectly around your package, shaping and lifting for a dramatically enhanced bulge and supportive feel.
80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane (excluding trims)
The new jocks are named Dover (Blue), Lincoln (Yellow), and Garrison (Red). The new waistband is sporty and fun. Mix that with the straps that match the waistband and it’s super fun. The three have the same amazing pouch you come to love and expect from Sukrew.
The best thing on these jocks is the price, where else can you score three jocks for under $40? Sukrew has always been an affordable brand in the world of underwear.
PAIR: Sukrew Jock
COLORS: Dover (Blue), Lincoln (Yellow), and Garrison (Red)
FABRIC: 80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane (excluding trims)
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $17.73 for one or $37.70 for all three
It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it – photographer Armando Adajaris continuing his mission to showcase hot guys in swimwear on the beaches of San Diego.
We’re not complaining. LA boy Chris DiPretelooks fantastic in the bright and bold colors of our Hunk2 range. Armando got some great shots of Chris in the shorts, trunks, and swim-briefs, as well as showing off our reversible styles.
When he’s not modelling swimwear, Chris is a dancer. Check out his Instagram and you’ll see that Chris is a favourite on the podiums of West Hollywood’s clubs as well as the biggest parties across the country.
We took the opportunity to quiz Chris about life as an LA go-go boy.
Aloha Hawaii
Born and raised in Hawaii, Chris seems to be the perfect combination of his Hawaiian, Italian, and Japanese genetic mix.
“I moved from Hawaii to Los Angeles first and foremost to further my professional career in dance…” explains Chris, when we ask what prompted him to move to the city of angels. “But it was also a chance to explore a new city, to explore life, and to meet new people.”
“Hawaii is very beautiful but very, very small socially…” adds Chris. “I wanted to move somewhere close-ish to home, but far enough away to make new friends, new relationships, and new connections.”
Born to dance
“I have definitely always been a dancer…” confirms Chris, when we ask him how he got started in the business. “It stemmed from watching music videos when I was little. I’d learn the choreography and imagine myself performing for stadiums filled with thousands of people. The reality was though that I was just performing for myself in my bedroom.”
“That passion for performing led me to get involved in theatre…” adds Chris. “I was interested in anything that got me on a stage. I also got pretty serious about sports for a while, but I eventually realized that dance was what I was meant to do. Ever since high school, I’ve been taking it seriously as a career. It’s dance that has brought me to where I am today.”
Stepping up onto the podium
“I used to go-go dance back home in Hawaii…” explains Chris, when we ask him about getting started in LA’s nightlife scene. “It’s a great way to make some extra money as well as get some good cardio in. I got introduced to a few promoters when I arrived in LA, and from there I would pick and choose when and where to dance. I’ve also danced at a few circuit parties, as I love the production quality of those events.”
“I’ve recently cut back on my nightlife dancing…” adds Chris. “I really want to focus more on my professional dance career.”
It’s all about the body
“As cliché as it sounds, the gym has to be a priority…” says Chris, when our chat turns to how to balance late nights in the club with the demands of being a professional dancer. “After working out for over 10 years, it becomes very normal to plan your day around a workout, and not the other way around.”
“I always say that my body is my business card…” adds Chris. “Especially in this industry. You have to make sure that you prioritize your health and that you put the best version of yourself out there.”
Finding the right balance
“I don’t normally work in the mornings…” explains Chris, when we push him to share details of his routine. “Not working in the mornings means that I can definitely get enough sleep to balance working, dancing, and working out.”
“When I want to relax, I’m glued to my couch with the A.C. blasting, watching YouTube and snacking on whatever I find…” admits Chris. “I love to snack! I find it relaxing to just have some time to myself to binge-watch and eat eat eat!”
Hitting the beach
Our conversation naturally turned to spending time on the beach. Given that Chris had been trying on all of our different men’s swimwear styles, we were keen to hear which style he normally wears and which of our designs he preferred.
“I actually don’t visit the beach a lot here in Los Angeles…” admits Chris. “I’ve gotten so spoiled with the beautiful, picture-perfect beaches in Hawaii.”
“Back in Hawaii, I was very into board shorts…” confirms Chris, when we push him on his preferred swimwear style. “But, since moving here to Los Angeles, I love a nice, well-fitted brief to wear to the pool.”

Back in 2014, I predicted that we would have a resurgence of bikini briefs. These are personally my favorite style and have been since I was in my teens. In the late ’90s and the 2000s, boxer briefs were the mainstream and most skimpy styles disappeared from the mainstream.
However, in the early 2010s, I thought for sure that bikinis were going to be huge again. Granted, they have increased in popularity, and more brands are making them, bikinis aren’t a part of every brand. Something else happened along the way, the rise of the thong. I didn’t expect so many guys to take to the style.
Around 2016, I started to notice more and more straight guys liked thongs. This kind of made sense to me, because a few of the straight readers told me that their wives/GF’s didn’t get jocks at all but didn’t mind thongs. I figured this was the rise in popularity. But that was not it.
In 2017, we started to see more brands create swim thongs. I thought this was great at the time. But, I wondered how many guys would wear them. We had been running the Swim Brief Challenge, and a few guys did it, but the vast majority of nonskimpy swimwear wearing guys still wouldn’t rock them on a beach.
Then in the same year, we had more and more gay guys wearing them as well. Guys like ScruffyGear, SixFootFiveGuy, and UndiesGeek85 were proudly showing their thongs on social media and not giving any fucks about it. This confidence was amazing and awesome. In 2018, formerly Bikinisnthongs did a year of thongs. He wore nothing but thongs for the entire year and posted pictures every day.
Flash forward to the current year, and we have tons of guys wearing them on the beach/lake. The style stans both gay and straight guys. I think more straight guys are passionate about thongs than gay guys (but I believe Scruffy Gear, may have something to say about that.)
One area this year that has seen a rise in swim thongs are the beaches in Chicago. I have seen so many posts that guys are wearing them proudly on the beach, and the numbers appear to be growing.
What made the thong take off so much? Well, I’m not a social scientist, but I do have theories. First, men’s underwear has been so boring for the mainstream. I mean it was boxers or boxer briefs in dull colors. Those offered no support and were less function than form. Guys wanted something that gave them comfort and feels sexy as hell wearing. Next, the wall between what is masc vs. fem is breaking down. Underwear is neither of those or are gay/straight. Guys can now wear pink, spandex and even lace! Lastly, guys want undies that give you ample support. They don’t want to flop around in their pants all day. They want the boys held in place.
These are my opinions on why thongs have taken off more than bikinis. Now, I still have hope that we will see more bikinis in the marketplace, and I think we will see more. It may take some time but be on the lookout!

Have you ever wanted to have a singlet and thong? If you said yes the new Andrew Christian Almost Naked Disco Spectrum Thong Singlet. It’s a great addition to you singlet and thong fans.
We had a few of you share your opinions on pink underwear. And I must say I was not surprised by the results. I think most of you feel the same way I do, that pink is an appropriate color for men’s underwear!
Almost 90% of you guys served rock pink at some point. Which is awesome, because I think pink gear is sexy as hell. It’s no longer a fem color, but a color for everyone.
Most of you wear pink underwear, however there are some of you who will wear swimwear, spandex, fetishwear and more in pink! I think the most pink items are in undies but we are seeing growth in the rest this year. Brands like Sparta Harnesses is making pink harnesses!
Here is what some of you said about pink gear:
- Nice colour, especially the corail tone
- Nice colour especially corail tone
- Is a color like others
- I’d wear a pink shirt, pink underwear seems very girly to me
- Just dont like light colors
- It’s the ultimate color of taboo. It’s just so great to wear something that some feel is forbidden. Plus I just love how it looks.
- It’s a color that pops!
- It’s a nice color which colored great with my skin
- Bright attention grabbing colour
- It’s very sensual and sexy
- How it can be viewed in society.
- Very colorfull. Eye catcher
- It’s bright, different and fun!
- It adds pop to an already great pair of underwear- it’s also unexpected
- Growing up I remember being told that pink was a “girls” color so I rock it all the time as a “fuck you” to what society thinks
- It’s bold and a great colour
- It’s bright and cute and it looks good against my skin tone
- it stands out
- Confidence>normativity
- vry nice for poloshirt
- It’s a bright color

Cocksox furnished the Velocity Stripe boxer for review. All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by the brand).
Rating: 9.2/10
- Daily Fit: 8/10
- Sizing: 10/10
- Construction: 10/10
- Styling: 10/10
- Daily Performance: 8/10
Pros:
- New line print is awesome
- Has a fantastic pouch for a boxer brief
- Construction is awesome and will last for a few years
Cons:
- Not every guy will like a boxer brief
- It could be too “loud” for guys who love classic colors
UNB Tim recommendation: If you are a brief guy and need to branch out this is the perfect pair to try. It’s colorful, fun and has an amazing pouch. I enjoyed wearing it and will definitely wear it again
I am not a big fan of boxer briefs because they usually don’t have good support. That is not the case with this boxer brief, Cocksox puts a pouch in everything they make, which is a good thing. Plus with the stripes, I was looking forward to this pair.
It has been a while since I wore a boxer brief from Cocksox and was looking forward to seeing how it did. I knew being a style I don’t wear regularly; I wasn’t going to wear it out all day. I wore it for errands when I knew I would be back. However, the pair was excellent and gave me the support I come to expect from Cocksox.
The construction of Cocksox is one of the best. All their underwear is very well made. They use some of the best fabric on the market, that feels amazing against your skin. Plus they make undies that will last for several years in your underwear drawer.
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 didn’t love this as much as I loved the brief I reviewed. That is because I LOVE briefs. But this is a pair that for a brief fan that needs to broaden their horizons. The pouch will fit amazing, and the color of the fabric will make a statement.
- PAIR: Cocksox CX12 Velocity Stripe Boxer
- COLORS: Print as seen
- FABRIC: 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra®
- SIZES: Small – X-Large
- COST: $29.00
