Want a pop of color? New swimwear brand Sturrock Street has looked at a fresh take on simple prints, which scream fun. Starting the business only two months ago, these swimmers are already very popular.

The fabric is designed with practical use in mind, so for those keen pool swimmers, these could be a good solution for moving past the typical brands you see in the lanes. Whether you’re into a more classic look with the Strike Green or Power Rangers-inspired designs, there’s something for everyone. I love that they have two different designs in Green!

Each pair is currently retailing for $60 AUD shipping worldwide. I am excited to see where this brand goes!

I”m sure many of you who love working out and being active already know about Kapow Meggings. They are a brand of leggings or, as they call them, Meggings for men. The company, founded by two brothers in Sydney when they were at Burning Man. They saw all the guys walking around in leggings made for women because they couldn’t find bright ones for men.

One interesting fact about the brand. The name came from the sounds effects from comic books. The sounds are Zap, Pow, Bang. Superheroes wear spandex and still look amazing. Now you can look amazing in the bright and bold colors of the brand.

Don’t worry; not all designs are bold and over the top. They have 35 different designs in their original range. The more classic is the Performance Range that has 9 designs. These are more classic and won’t raise eyebrows at the gym or running. But, hey, some of us love to wear something bold and fun.

If you are not into meggings, they have recently started their own swimwear and underwear lines. Both have the same style as the meggings. They include some of the amazing prints that you can see in the spandex.

The universal language of camo print and stripes blends with the adventurous spirit of the summer in the Trapped Camo line combining action and attraction. 

Nostalgic fabrics and vintage lines take shape in silhouettes with a retro mood. This line has a new classic expression, confidently refocused through a retro swimwear lens.

The Trapped Camo line comprises of Classic Briefs, Low Cut Briefs, Tanga Briefs, Trunk Boxers & Shorts 

The Modus Vivendi Trapped Camo line, available in khaki and blue, features a camo print or retro stripes main body and internal drawstrings. This swimwear is super comfortable, offering minimal coverage with the Modus Vivendi logo printed on the covered waistband. This swimwear is beach luxury and sexy; hit the beach or the pool in this stylishly retro design, featuring camo print or retro stripes.

The Modus Vivendi Trapped Camo line is available from €46.20

It’s all about the BASE! One of Teamm8’s most popular mens underwear brief cuts is back! With its soft hand feel and super comfortable quick-dry stretch construction you’ll enjoy all day comfort as well as the perfect work-out undie. Sophisticated color combinations integrated in the side panels of the square cut mens underwear brief complemented by a premium metallic stripe detail waistband. Get sporty, get active, get the BASE!

One of the hottest new pairs on the underwear scene is side tie bikinis and thongs. These have taken off and grown to be very popular. However, the original pairs were super expensive. I saw some upwards of $80. Which, I know many of you go, um, I’ll have to wait.

We have two new pairs that are much more affordable. I know from our reader survey that anything over $35 has to be something you guys really want. We want to wear amazing underwear, but we don’t want to break the bank. I think these two will give you the hot new style at a price you will love.

Pride season is around the corner. Smither’s Swimwear releases a limited edition pride pair every year. First, I love that they do this. Being a smaller brand, it’s not easy to do. Second, it shows their support for the LGBTQ+ community. I have last year’s pair and love it; unfortunately, due to COVID, I never got to wear it out in the sun with it much. However, this year that will change!

“Carrying on from last year’s sold out Rebound print, the design inspiration for Unity is the iconic rainbow Pride flag, however this time, we’ve incorporated the five-coloured chevron from the ‘Progress’ Pride flag to place a greater emphasis on inclusion and progression in line with artist, Daniel Quasar’s vision”

The rainbow is synonymous with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community. The recent addition to the flag includes black and brown stripes to represent marginalised LGBTQ+ communities of colour, along with pink, light blue, and white, which are featured on the transgender Pride flag.

Beyond the colours, the Unity print by Smithers aims to encapsulate the driving forces that have lead to the Progress flag becoming the new permanent fixture for the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a sign of the times that with change and progress comes chance. If we continue on this trajectory of progress, new opportunities will open up. Let’s continue to have conversations and healthy debates to re-shape our thinking.

By doing our bit with Smithers, hopefully we create increased awareness of intersecting forms of oppression, and therefore the need for further intersectional inclusion. We are a community that has, and is, making great progress. And yet we have so much more to do.

Get the new Unity suit from Smither’s for $85, that’s Australian Dollars.

Tell us a little about your new brand Banana? What made you start a new swimwear company? Are there features you think Banana has over other brands? 

Banana Company is a men’s bathing suit company that specializes in providing fun printed swim briefs and trunks. It was founded by me (Ryan) in anticipation to provide the US market and the rest of the world with some interesting brief designs that were never seen before. 

I wanted to create a swimwear company purely since I thought there weren’t many US-made swim brief companies out there tapping into this market. I also wanted to have an enjoyable side project to let my graphic design juices flow and design some patterns for suits.

I think one thing that we offer that most brands do not are a wide range of sizes. Currently, our swim briefs range from 28in-44in. Most other companies stop at 40in or even smaller. Another great feature that other companies do not have is our uniquely designed Banana logo. I had designed this logo a while ago, wanting to use it for a cheeky company, what is more, perfect than a swimsuit company!

One thing that I LOVE is that your sizing isn’t just for the typical guy. You have larger sizes; what made you include these sizes? 

Of course. Having a range allows more inclusivity, making any man proud to wear a brief. I wanted there to be a wide range of sizes so that any guy could shop at Banana. As I like to say, not all bananas are the same, so why only limit or define what the market has said in the past to be the “normal” or limited sized selection. Everyone deserves the chance to strut their banana in a brief. Whether that be a swim brief or regular underwear brief. Briefs bring out the sexy in anyone! Maybe that’s why my favorite underwear style is the brief, and it captures every man’s asset in the best ways.

I think swimwear should have solids and prints. I love the first collection of colors, and of course, you had to have a yellow. But what made you pick the prints you did for the first collection? 

Thank you for the compliments. The prints were a mix of random and inspiration. I knew I wanted a split between solid colors and prints because not everyone wants to be as out there as the next guy. For the solids, I wanted the colors to be vibrant but also soft. Something that screamed beach and party time. The yellow is a great color on any skin tone; I love it too. For the pattern prints, I wanted these to be all different. From the colors to how the patterns make you feel when you wear one. The Tropical Palms was inspired by a warm summer day. The Weatherman was inspired by my boyfriend, who is a meteorologist. The Strawberry Swirls was inspired by my favorite ice cream, strawberry. And the Space Cakes were just random (lol). 

Side story. The Space Cakes actually started with a different color scheme. It was originally a purple-blue color with orange cupcakes. But after seeing the sample print, it just looked like popcorn, nothing like cupcakes. So, I changed the colors and added a few other elements, and now it’s probably our most popular brief design yet. 

Who is the guy who’s going to wear Banana swimwear? Who is your guy? 

The man who loves to express himself and doesn’t care about how others feel about how he looks. Banana swimwear is really for anyone. While I am a gay man, and the brand tends to lean more marketed to gay men, anyone can wear our suits. And if you aren’t ready for a swim brief, we have swim trunks as well. 

Hahaha, my guy is the man I have next to me now. Fun, enjoyable, and cute all around. What can I say, once you find the one you know.

What has been the reaction of your brand on social media and your first customers? 

People have been loving the brand (not to brag). I have received many messages on Instagram from many different people asking about my suits, or about my brand, or just saying that they really like the name or company in general (and they haven’t even bought a suit yet!). My first customers are excited to get out there in the suits and rock them by the pool or on the beach. I haven’t received too much feedback from the first orders, but I am excited to see how things go once we get into warmer weather and the summer.

Where can our readers find your swimwear and find you on social media? 

Definitely. Anyone can find us by searching “Banana Co. Mens Swimwear” on any search engine. Or by going to https://bananacowear.com/

When you think of a swim jock, you think of a smaller jock. One that has an inch waistband with a traditional cut. However, N2N Bodywear has a different definition of a swim jock. Theirs is a jock strap you swim in. This is a style they had several years ago, and I have one and love it. It’s one of the best jocks I have ever worn.

Believe it or not there are guys who do like a jock tan line. And these same guys go swimming in jocks. Now you can get a swim jock that is quick drying and made for swimming. N2N Says this about the pair:

YUP… we brought it back! The crazy-ass sexy AQUATIC JOCK! One of the hottest things you’ll see or wear at the the beach, pool or HOT TUB this summer! Super cool print completes the package

CELLBLOCK 13 ATLAS JOCKSTRAP AND BODY HARNESS WITH COCKRING

A View With a Thrill! 

You’ll feel like a Titan when you gear up in the latest Cellblock 13 collection called Atlas – featuring one of the most comfortable jocks and naughtiest harnesses Cellblock 13 has come out with yet. Here’s the details:

The Cellblock 13 Atlas Jockstrap is sports fetish refined with the level of style and detailing we’ve come to expect from CB13. The Pouch fabric is ultra smooth and super soft and feels more like bamboo with lots of stretch to cradle and showcase your package to perfection. With a wide vertical racing stripe down the center.

The one-and-a-half inch wide waistband is equally as amazing. Like all Cellblock 13 elastics, it’s the perfect balance of stretch and support. The mostly black band has contrasting thin sports striping. But that’s not all, look closely and you’ll see the black is actually a repeating embossed CELLBLOCK 13 – this is the attention to detail that sets CB13 apart from most other designers. Finally, a rubber CELLBLOCK 13 logo patch sits front and center.Leg straps: One inch wide comfort elastics match the color of the pouch.

The Cellblock 13 Atlas Body Harness consists of series of elastic straps, black metal rings and a CB13 stretchy rubber cockring. The harness is not only designed to showcase your chest and back but it’s guaranteed to give you a thrill with every move thanks to the down straps in front and in back that attach to the cockring worn around your dick. Simply walking down the street will have the back strap rubbing against your hole and the front strap tugging at your junk.

The elastic used in the harness is the same used in the Cellblock 13 Atlas Jockstrap. The rubber cockring is a thick stretchy silcone ring that looks like a tire with treads.

To ensure the perfect fit: It comes in four sizes based on chest size, the straps are elasticated plus the length is fully adjustable both in front and back via a series of sizing snaps.

Of course the best feature of Atlas is both the jock and harness are very inexpensive! Atlas comes in either blue, army-green, grey or red.CLICK HERE FOR JOCKSTRAP CENTRAL
