This week’s Baskit $12 Tuesday is the Active trunk! If you don’t know but the Baskit $12 Tuesday is the day you get to to buy a great pair of underwear for just $12.

In this corner, weighing in at a respectable 4.9 oz of premium fabric… the Baskit Active collection.

Inspired by traditional boxing shorts men have been sparring in down at the corner boxing gym since… well, forever… this underwear drawer contender goes the distance with heavyweight stretch and relentless comfort.

Check out the classic logo patch centered on the front of the 1.75″ waistband.

Below the belt, you’ll like the feel of our ball-cuddling-soft fabric made of 90% modal (a champion fabric derived from sustainable beechwood) and 10% premium elastane as you duck and dive through your daily spar with life.

Candyman has a new collection! Not only do you get some amazing undies made of lace and more. They have expanded sizes! Just like Xtremen now you can get Candyman in sizes up to 42 inch waist.

The new collection is just what you think it has:

  • 3 Bodysuits
  • Denim undies
  • Lace thongs
  • Thongs
  • and more!

The extended sizes are available in the new collection, and also they have gone back and added the sizes to some of the classic Candyman styles. This includes some of the costumes Candyman is known for making.

I”m super happy that Candyman is extending the sizes. I think all guys deserve to be damn sexy in their undies. This includes wearing lace. We definitely will be reviewing some of these sizes soon. But in the meantime you can shop them at the UNB Store.

Here’s something manly enough for the male animal: The Cage Matte collection from Male Power. You’ll leave all inhibitions at the door when you enter in this fetish masterpiece, made with the faux leather look to enhance your dominant traits.

Four daring styles leave no doubt about who is in charge – the Cage Singlet, Cage Short, Strappy Ring Jock and Cage Thong. All are made from easy care polyamide elastane for durable stretch, second skin fit and maximum comfort. Strappy cutouts allow you to show just enough skin, and the shaped thruster pouch keeps you flaunting what’s daunting.

When you’re planning on a “rough night,” go to the matte – Cage Matte. Order it now, from Male Power. 

The wait is over! Not only have our JC Athletic Contact Shorts been restocked but they’re now available in size 2xlarge (more on that below!) We’ve been waiting since March on this restock but due to Covid it was delayed… and delayed… and delayed. But it’s here now.

In case you don’t know, the Contact Shorts are Jockstrap Central’s very own line of shorts for sports, working out or simply lounging around. They’re loaded with features and come with a pricetag you’re going to love (just $40 bucks).

The JC Athletic Contact Shorts are streamlined to ensure you’re always looking good. They’re built with a soft right-out-of the-box moisture wicking fabric in either heather-grey, heather-blue, heather-red or black.

They’re unlined which is perfect for bulging but if you’re using them for workouts and sports then you’ll want to grab your favorite JC Athletic Classic Jockstrap (of course!) and you’ll be ready for anything. With zip pockets to store your valuables, reflective grey logos to be sure you’re seen, stylish black inlay detailing to compliment your butt and you can even throw them in the wash and dryer.

Here’s some more of the features: Made with soft stretch polyester for the perfect fit and comfort. Fabric is moisture treated to absorb sweat and dry quickly. Zippered side pockets with black insides for a stylish touch when unzipped. With an elastic waistband and drawstring for backup.

We wouldn’t stamp the JC Athletic name on them if we didn’t stand behind these awesome versatile shorts. Our advice: be sure to get a few so you always have one when the other is in the wash!

Now available in sizes small all the way up to 2xlarge. Please note: for the 2xlarge, we widened the leg a bit for a better and more comfortable fit.

Along with our shorts, our JC Athletic Classic Sports Jocks have also been fully restocked. In case you don’t know the story:

When Bike, Activeman and Flarico all ceased production of their jockstraps in 2016, Jockstrap Central took matters into our own hands and produced what we consider the ultimate classic sports jock. JC Athletic Classic Jocks are the culmination of our 12 years of experience in the jockstrap business and they’re exclusive to Jockstrap Central. Based on sales and countless rave reviews, we did good.

We were six months from inception to the final product we launched in February of 2017. These jocks are simple, functional, comfortable, masculine and even understated with a nod to the classic sports jocks of yesteryear. Although based on our favorite classic jocks, we made lots of improvements:

Our jocks have a cotton moisture wicking woven pouch that’s soft right out of the package. The pouch has a hint of rubber for stretch and shape retention. With the ergonomic contouring of the pouch, we found the perfect balance between comfort and support, we even gave the pouch some extra contouring at the base to prevent what we call the dewlap (the extra sloppy flap of fabric below the balls due to excess material in many sports jocks).

For the 3 Inch Jockstrap, the waistband is a true 3 inches wide (many aren’t!) with a fine horizontal elastic ribbing on the outside and a super plushed backing so it’s sturdy yet soft against your skin. The Swimmer Jockstrap is essentially the same except with a narrow 1 and 1/8 inch wide waistband. Finally, with a nod to the classics we’ve put our subtle JC Athletic logo front and center.

Both styles are available in either black or white and available in size small all the way up to 2xlarge (from a 26 inch waist all the way up to a 48 inch waist).

The Leather line embodies refinement and luxury with the perfect mix of timeless glamour and baroque chic. Inspired by the theatrical and extravagant appearances of the Spanish Palaces the Leather line aspires to marry the want with the musts in life, and inspire a journey of inner exploration. It`s ok to be rich; it’s ok to be spiritual; its ok to be vulnerable; its ok to have leather fetish fantasies; its ok to be you. 

The Leather Line comprises of Boxers, Briefs, Bottomless, Jockstraps, Low Cut Briefs, Tanga Briefs, Shorts, Shirts & Hats

This new singlet from Go Softwear’s American Jock line gives new meaning to the phrase “Pretty in pink.” I was scrolling through the site just looking at the singlets and saw this and I stopped in my tracks. I knew they had the Take Down singlet in black but must have forgot that it came in pink!

Go Softwear makes some of the best singlets on the market. I have a few of them and they are always high quality and feel amazing (just the way spandex should feel against your skin). But pink is not a color we see in singlets. It’s still dominated by the “masculine” colors. However, after seeing this I would say we need more of this!!!!

The Takedown singlet is a nylon fabric that is 100% see-through. The pink color makes it a little harder to decern that it’s mesh. If you wear the black you will know right away it’s see-through. The pink gives you enough to hide the fact until someone gets up closer and then… BAM!

If you love singlets check this out!

PAIR: Go Softwear American Jock Take Down Singlet
COLORS: Pink or black (but we are focusing on the pink)
FABRIC: 84% NYLON 16% SPANDEX
SIZES: Small – X-Large
PRICE: $49.50

Our friend at Men and Underwear did this shoot featuring the Marcuse line they are now selling. These pics are photographed by charismatic Pavel Papikhin with handsome model Pierre.

Empire Jocks in blue, red and white and the Empire Boxers in red. These amazing jockbriefs and trunks are available in more colours, six in total, in store: white, black, red, blue, sky and camel. The collection is made from a ribbed cotton mix that feels very soft on the skin. The pouch is contoured to give you the right amount of space and good support and the waistband is elasticated to keep the underwear in place no matter the intensity of your daily activities. The sign of Marcuse is embroidered on the back of the garment adding a sophisticated design element to this beautiful

Check out the Men and Underwear store for Marcuse and a lot more amazing pairs of underwear.

Finally! Jockstrap Central had a restock order in with Omtex since February but due to Covid, their factory was on lock-down all this time. Well, five months later, the factory is open and back in production (at least partially) and they put our original order along with a new order at the front of the production line and the works arrived at our doorstep yesterday.

We know a LOT of guys have been waiting patiently for this restock and to thank you all for your patience, we’ve put all our already inexpensive Omtex gym supporters on sale for 15% off for the next week, until Tuesday, September 22nd

In case you don’t know what the big deal is with Omtex:

Omtex Gym Supporters provide an alternative to the classic sport jockstrap, replacing the webbed pouch with a smooth brushed cotton one. Not to mention, the support provided by the sturdy waistbands and leg straps is amazing. The superior design and quality make this one of the most durable yet comfortable sports jocks out there. The regular Omtex Gym Supporters all have a double layer pouch to soak up all the sweat.

With the Omtex Neo Jockstraps, they’ve upped the comfort quotient by wrapping the elastic waistbands and leg straps in the same soft brushed cotton as the pouch.

Breaking from tradition, there’s also two more jocks worth pointing out:

The Omtex Army Jockstrap is one of our best-selling jocks of all-time. With an army-green ribbed pouch and camouflage printed waistband and leg strap elastics.

The Omtex Aqua Jockstraps loosely borrows from the traditional swimmer jockstrap but only with it’s narrow waistband. The off-white soft and smooth pouch is wonderful but where it really gets interesting is the plushed elastic off-white waistband which includes a striking grey stripe running through it is also the same elastic used for the leg straps. Not much of a support jock but where it’s lacks in the support department it makes up big time in the comfort one.

Our friends at Dead Good Undies, shared this video back in 2012. I always love working with them. They are some of the most amazing people in undies.

I chose this video because I have found and backing up photos from 2008-2012. During this process, It amazes me all the amazing pics we have run and also the brands that are no longer around. I’m going to start highlighting some of the best photography of the early days of UNB.

In ancient Greece people believed that you have to care for the 3 most important self the Body, the Mind and the Soul. What are your daily habits to support and evolve yourself?

Personally, I try to take great care of my body, it may seem superficial, but it also helps me to develop myself spiritually.

Do you believe people can change? Change their habits, physical appearance; what it takes?

Yes, I believe that everyone can change. More in these times, when everyone tries to take better care of themselves, improve habits, health and I think that everyone is trying to take care of their nutrition and the environment.

What’s your favorite person of all times? Why he/she inspires you?

My favorite people are my father and mother, who are the ones who have shaped me and I am who I am thanks to them.

Is family important to you? Do you spend time with them?

They are extremely important. I believe that they are the foundation of oneself and are the most important people I have. Because of work I live in another country and we are far away, but they are what I care about the most.

Any causes you support? How people can help others?

I believe that the way that each one has to help is through the good care of the environment. Also being always ready to help whoever needs our help.

Have you changed your daily habits to support the environment?

I always took great care of it, because my father instilled it in me, but I think that more can always be done and new things are learned to try to preserve it.

Are you currently in a relationship? What do you value in a person?

No, I am not in a relationship right now and it is very complicated because of my work I travel a lot. What matters most to me is that she should be honest, someone positive and happy and that she knows how to enjoy the present moment.

Favorite movies, books or music?

Book: Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Music: Argentine Rock

Movie: Days of Thunder

What do you do to stay connected with others?

I am permanently connected to my cell phone, which brings me closer to my people in Argentina and also to friends from here in Mexico.          

Participating in a carnival is your fav thing to do?

Yes, for me Carnival is one of the things that amuse me the most and that I enjoy the most in life. I love it.

What acting gives to you as a person? Is it a tool to self-explore, express?

Acting allows me to be a different person from myself. It allows me to be part of a fantasy. Living other people’s lives, some unknown and that teaches me to see how other people handle themselves or their lives. I can put myself in their shoes, try to understand other reasoning. It is something that I am passionate about and I enjoy a lot.

How covid19 did change you? Daily life, life perspective, priorities.

It changed my way of thinking a lot. It makes me want to be close to my family. I have learned to cook. I can also value the time I can share with my friends and relatives, being able to be outdoors. I learned to value all that more.

What makes you happy?

It makes me happy to be close to my family. To be able to work, to be healthy, to be able to think about the future and to be able to earn money doing what I love.
