Review – Bike Athletic Classic Jockstrap

No Comments

Bike Athletic furnished the Athletic Classic Jockstrap for review. All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by Bike 

Rating: 8.6/10 

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 8/10
  • Styling: 8/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: 

  • The classic is back! 
  • Super comfy throughout the day
  • Great for active day and the gym

Cons: 

  • I wish the pouch were wider at the top

I was excited to try the classic jocks by Bike. I have very fond memories of the jocks from my younger days. At the same time, this jock isn’t’ classic #10. It’s still a classic and produced after the initial #10 jock was retired. When I slid it on, there was one thing that caught my attention. The pouch didn’t fit snug as I usually liked, and I hoped this pair would live up to the memories I had. There was only one way to see, and that was to wear it for the day. 

Since I was wearing a jock, I decided to wear this on an active day. It was a lot of running around and lifting this day. As I got busy throughout my day, I forgot I was wearing a jock. That means I never noticed the leg straps or the pouch. Much to my worry, the pouch held up well. I guess I like a wider top to the pouch. I still would love it to be a bit wider at the top; that is my only complaint about this pair. As I moved through the day, everything stayed in place, and the legs didn’t roll, waistband bunch, or the pouch lost support. 

The Construction on both jocks I have reviewed for BIKE has been pretty good. There have been no issues with fabric or Construction.  I judge the jock by the leg straps. I have had jocks in the past rip the leg straps. After wearing, I always inspected, and I didn’t see any loose threads or stitching. Also, I haven’t heard anyone out there complain about the jocks either. This means they are doing a pretty good job at making these astounding jocks. 

Sizing hasn’t been an issue with me. I am an XL and size 42 right now. The XL wasn’t binding or constricting in the waistband. When I used to wear jocks to college, they would be so tight that They would drive me crazy halfway through the day. Running around and doing my job didn’t bind me and caused any restrictive motions when I was running around and doing my job. I’m kind of impressed by it. 

If you are looking for a classic jock that meets form and functions, the Classic Jockstrap. The new Bike isn’t quite like the old Bike, but it’s doing a great job recreating the classics. I’m happy because they are making the classics but wearable and functional for sports and every day. 

  • PAIR: Bike Athletic Classic Jockstrap
  • COLORS: White
  • FABRIC: 70% Nylon, 20% Cotton, 5% Rubber, 5% Polyester Supporter Pouch (not a cup pouch)
  • SIZES: X-Small – 3X-Large
  • COST: $20

Clever Brings you Clarity

No Comments

Clever has always made underwear that is classic and also that is fun. The new collection has released some Clarity. Well, I should say the Clarity Thong. This thong comes in two classic colors red or black. I think many of you thong lovers will really like these thongs. Here is What Clever says about the pairs:

Clarity Thongs gives you minimal coverage with a sporty, sexy look. It’s made from a super lightweight microfiber that shows off skin and stays ultra breathable. The contour pouch offers lift and support

There is a front seam in this pair. I know there are many who don’t care for the seam but they alternate the color of the seam. In the black pair, it’s red and in the red it’s black. I love this touch, it gives it a little extra pop. The only thing I would have loved is it the thread was the opposite color for all the trim but they just focused on the front seam.

If you love thongs check this pair out and get one or two!

PAIR: Clever Clarity Thong
COLORS: Black or Red
FABRIC: 94% Nylon 6% Elastane
SIZES: Small – X-Large
PRICE: $18.81

Poll – Are you planning to shop Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales?

I haven’t done a poll in a while, we need to get back doing these. They are fun to do and share the results. Today we are asking if you are going to be shopping for underwear/gear on Black Friday/Cyber Monday? This is generally the biggest sales of the year on undies and gear. Some guys spend hundreds to thousands (yes I said thousands) on these sales. What do you plan on spending this year?

What do you want to hear on the Podcast?

No Comments

We are recording a podcast this weekend and it got me thinking, what do you guys want to hear us discuss? I have a big list I created last month and working through some of the topics. Some are easier to do like our favorites for Xmas, and others take a longer lead-in like our Lingerie show.

One thing that does well is a thong show, but what specifically do you want to hear about thongs? One we have in the works is working out in thongs. We have several thong experts who will talk about any subject you want to hear! It’s just great to get feedback from you guys.

One thing I would love to do is interview more real guys and how they fell in love with undies, our Brief Tale podcasts. They are so much fun to do, but I have run through all the guys I know, and if you want to come on, let me know. We can talk about undies, speedos, spandex, showing off on IG, etc. We have several shows in the mix.

If you are interested in joining a Brief Tale or even have ideas send me an email to info (at) underwearnewsbriefs (DOT0 com and put Podcast in the title.

Jockstrap Central – Exposed by Raw Studio – jocks

No Comments

GET NOTICED WITH THE RAW STUDIO EXPOSED COLLECTION

Our Raw Studio Exposed Collection is here and it’s all about gearing up, showing off and getting the exposure you deserve from wearing it. From a jock and cockring hybrid creation to a strapless pouch that’s designed for hanging out and swinging free with a few more surprises in between. Even the most conservative items come in a see-through mesh option. It’s a big collection all in black with contrast detailing in red, blue or yellow.

We got our exhibitionist models Milo Madera and Chance to gear up and show off, and boy do they ever. As mentioned above, there’s a lot of full-frontal going on down below but we saved our naughtiest photos for viewing over at our website.

Just so you know: Like Jockstrap Central, Raw Studio is a small gay owned business. Their designs are not mass-manufactured but all hand-crafted, unique, hard to find and it’s all limited edition.

Here’s more details…

RAW STUDIO EXPOSED PENTA JOCKSTRAPS

You may think cult when you see the name Penta but it simply refers to the unique five sided pouch design. But then again, you could call the faction of guys who love hanging out in Raw Studio gear a cult – but that’s one cult worth joining. So… back to the pouch: It’s made either of a luxuriously soft microfiber and Lycra material or for more exposure, grab the one made of see-through mesh. Penta is unique with an ergonomic design for function and fit. Black edge piping provide structure.

If that weren’t enough: The contrasting elastic leg straps are actually part of the pouch design. They start off at the front of the waistband and travel down the upper sides of the pouch then take off around back to eventually sit under your ass cheeks before finally joining back up to the pouch at it’s base.

As mentioned, it comes in a solid or mesh pouch.

Review – Bike Athletic Mesh Jockstrap

1 Comment

Bike Athletic furnished the Mesh Jockstrap for review. . All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by Bike Athletic

Rating: 8/10 

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 8/10
  • Construction: 8/10
  • Styling: 8/10
  • Daily Performance: 8/10

Pros:

  • A good pouch made out of a nice mesh material. 
  • The waistband is tight but not too tight to bind and feel uncomfy
  • Leg straps feel great and never twisted or felt tight
  • It comes in green my favorite color. 
  • Sizing goes from X-Small to 3 Extra Large 

Cons: 

  • The pouch is a bit smaller, it could be a bit wider at the top but that’s my personal preference 
  • Some guys may not like it’s just in green (I think this is a pro) 
  • If you are big fan of the classic #10 jock you may not like the modern design. 

UNB Tim recommendation: If you are looking for a solid jock, the Bike Atheltic Mesh Jock is a great pair to choose. To me, it feels really nice against the skin. The pair lives up to the history of the Bike Brand and is a great new generation of jocks. It can be worn as regular underwear or as athletic wear. I def would suggest adding this to your underwear drawer if you are a jock fan or even a semi jock fan. 

It’s great to see an iconic brand like Bike back in business. For a while there it seemed the brand would be banished into the underwear wasteland. I grew up wearing Bike jocks and it was almost a rite of passage to get your first jock for sports. Even after sports, I would wear them under jeans and for fun times. Then in the in recent years the brand ended (or thereabouts). The new brand has taken the classic designs and updated them for modern times. 

The first pair I am reviewing is the Mesh Jockstrap in Olive. May I note that this is my favorite color! This pair had a leg up on every other pair just for that. I was going to be active and such but decided to have a low-key day and relax around the house. This won’t put it through the paces as athletic but will for underwear. Plus, most guys I know wear jocks for everyday wear and not just athletic. 

When I first slid the pair on I noticed the pouch was a bit smaller than I remembered and fit a little different at first. This gave me concern that the pouch may not hold up to a day’s wear. However, as the day wore on I was pleasantly surprised by the pouch. It may be cut smaller but it’s really comfortable, The mesh fabric felt tremendous and not like a cheese grater. Another thing I loved about this pair was it didn’t feel like I was wearing a jock, ok bare with me for a sec. When you wear a jock many times, the leg straps can dig in or twist and annoy you throughout the day. Or, the waistband can be tight and restricting. When I talked to Bike, they said this was one of their popular styles, and I can tell why, other than the color, it fits great, and the mesh fabric is breathable and comfy. 

Sizing is always different for each brand. It can run small or large. Overall I have to say Bike is pretty spot on. The waistband fits nice but is not too tight. I don’t feel like it’s digging into me. I received an XL, which is the standard size I wear, and it’s perfect for me. The older versions would always be super tight and sometimes bind; the newer ones seem not to have that issue. 

Overall, it’s a great pair. It’s a two thumbs up from me and a must for any jock lovers drawer. I don’t think you guys will be disappointed in the slightest. I will have more Bike Jock reviews soon, so stay tuned. 

PAIR: Bike Atheltic Mesh Jock – Olive
COLORS: Olive
FABRIC: 89% Nylon, 11% Spandex Supporter Pouch (not a cup pouch)
SIZES: X-Small – 3X-Large
COST: $28.00

New Ergowear Hip line – A Beginners Guide

No Comments

If you are a fan of Ergowear they have just released a new collection called Hip. The first thing to note is it’s a new pouch that gets added to the current lineup: The Max, The X3D/X4D, and Feel. Second, it’s a line for guys to try their brand without showing off all the goods. The pouch isn’t as pronounced as the previous pouches mentioned. Lastly, it’s a little cheaper than the other lines of Ergowear.

HIP is your entry-level Ergowear  

If you’ve never used our pouch underwear before, you like the concept but – well – you are not sure if you are ready to go all the way, here’s a great thong to start with. The pouch is true to our ergonomic design concept, but it’s a little less “out there” than the other Ergowear pouches

HIP is stretchy, durable material  

This Line is manufactured in a blend of polyester and elastane to give it the long-term performance you expect: The polyester fibers are responsible for the resistance to wear and tear, whereas the elastane fibers give it the stretchiness needed to adapt to your body’s shape. 

The line consists of a Thong, Bikini, and Boxer Brief. The colors are Dark Blue, White, and Teal. All great colors for underwear. Each of these styles is in the low $20’s. Mix that with the 20% off sale at the UNB Store and you can get them under $20. Use code Ergohip at check out! The sale ends on Nov 9th.
