Are you ready for a new deal of the week? This week the Baskit $12 Tuesday pair is the Wild Stripe Low Rise Trunk. If you are a fan of trunks, this one is a must-have for your undies drawer. Remember this pair is only on sale for $12 till midnight.
One line from Gregg Homme that is a must-have is the Torridz line. The bikinis and thongs are some of the most amazing pairs on the planet. Model is Calum Windsor.
Here is a preview of the new JOR fetish collection. This will be released soon for purchase. It’s a super hot line.
Have you ever wanted to work out in a pink singlet? If you say yes, Skin Fit can make you one. Actually you can make it in one of 20 colors! Check them out.
This year we are starting to see a lot more ripstop nylon undies. Now BodyAware has a new Slippery Rip-Stop Brief. We saw some of these in the 80’s and 90’s, and then they disappeared. Now they are returning to the world of men’s underwear.
Why is ripstop making a come back? Well, glad you asked, the fabric feels amazing, it’s smooth and almost silk-like! The downside is it’s not a fabric that is form-fitting. If you love spandex and tighter fabrics, you may not like it. I am a fan of tight undies but there is something about ripstop that feels amazing to me.
This is what BodyAware says about the pair
If you like the slippery and buttery-soft feel of rip-stop nylon, then this is the underwear for you! Lightweight and supple, yet almost indestructible in fabric and construction, the Slippery Rip-Stop Brief is slightly see-through due to the thinness of the fabric. The simple yet sleek design incorporates a comfortable elasticated waist and leg, and a contouring pouch with just enough room. Comfortable full-back.
This is one pair I want to get and give it a try. I want to see if it lives up to my memories of other rip stop pairs I had back in the day.
PAIR: BodyAware Slippery Rip Strop Brief
COLOR: Blue
FABRIC: 100% Nylon
SIZES: Small – 2XL
PRICE: $22.00
VAUX ZIPPER JOCKSTRAPS AND HARNESSES BY CELLBLOCK 13
Express yourself with our new Vaux VX2 Zipper Jockstrap and Harness. It’s a unique take on fetish gear that’s going to get you noticed.
The Vaux VX2 Zipper Jockstrap and Harness features a fresh approach to fetish wear with a pouch and straps made of a unique coated printed neoprene rubber in sexy florals and psychedelic leopard prints. The jock also has a functional zipper right down the center for easy access (or exposure). Wear the harness with the matching jock, hook it up to the belt loops of your favorite jeans or remove the down straps and wear it as a stand-alone harness.
Did we mention that the harness is also fully adjustable both chest-wise and length-wise with a series of sexy black snaps
CELLBLOCK 13 TITAN ZIPPER BACK SHORTS
The hottest street wear going: At first glance, the Cellblock 13 Titan Zipper Short is a good looking pair of denim shorts that are not only super comfortable but out of the box they already feel lived-in, like your go to shorts you’ve been wearing for years except they’re new.
BUT… these shorts have a secret, the back center seam is actually a fully functional zipper opening up all sorts of piggy possibilities. In fact, it’s not just a slit but the zipper runs from the belt loop all the way down around your crotch for super easy access.
Available in army-green, navy-blue, black and camouflage.
Please note: We’ve recently been restocked on the Titan Shorts but Cellblock 13 is running low and didn’t have any large in the camouflage shorts to send us.
KING DICK – MAKE A STATEMENT SPORTS JOCKS
TOP, BOTTOM, VERSATILE and now DOMINANT and SUBMISSIVE
A jockstrap that’s simple, bold and classic. Ok, this is King Dick so you know there’s more: Sure, this is a great looking traditional sports jock with a pouch made of moisture wicking webbing plus an elastic waistband with horizontal sports striping BUT…
…This jock has one bonus and defining feature your other sports jocks don’t have – it lets everyone know your position in life. Dead center on the almost 2 inch wide waistband is a patch with a big, bold DOM or SUB in blue on white.
With one inch wide comfort elastic leg straps also in white.

Model DW Chase lives his best life in gear. He’s always working out in swim briefs, jocks, spandex, you name it. Here he is skateboarding in a swim brief. Go follow him on Twitter, plus he’s a super nice guy.
When we talk about models, lately, it’s a tricky subject. Some guys want to see the traditional models, and then some guys want to see real guys in undies. And there is room for everyone in the world of underwear. Having worked on the blog for 12 years, I can see the issue from brands and consumers. This is my take on models in the Underwear industry.
Traditional Models
Brands use traditional models in their posts because they have a brand image they want to convey. It could be athletic, muscular, more realistic, or even plus-sized guys (saying plus in the world of modeling). Granted, very few of us reading this will ever be like the model in the underwear picture. We want to feel sexy and confident in our underwear. If it looks that great on him than it will look awesome on me. And to be fair, pictures do sell underwear. A hot picture will increase the sales of a pair over a pair without a hot pic. I have seen this time and time again. Brands are in the business to make money, and they do what will sell undies.
Real Guys – Non-Traditional Models.
I like many of you want to see more real guys in undies. This includes all shapes, sizes, and colors. I will give it to many brands starting to do more real guys, and those should be applauded, like Yocisco. They recently had a beefy guy star in some of their pics. I think many brands are hesitant because of backlash from people online. Before you start going off on me, just wait. We have experienced this first hand. When we first started doing our UNB shoots, we used more real guys. Not all of them had abs; some were thin, some were a little bigger (for models). I was super proud of these shoots. However, when we posted them on social media, get got comments like “These aren’t models,” “Where did you find these guys” “If this is what you consider models, I’m unfollowing.”
Yes, guys said those things and more over the years. It sucks when we invest our time and money into a shoot to get this feedback. If you want to see real guys, like, comment, share, and buy. When you do buy, tell them you bought because of the real guy or non-traditional models.
I personally think we need a mix of real and traditional models. We are a diverse group of guys, gay, straight and bi, looking for different things in undies. As the industry grows more into the straight market, we will see marketing evolve even more. This is a quick post I threw together, and I would love you guys to share your feedback.

We just launched a new line of jockstraps and harnesses by Cellblock 13’s more flamboyant brand Vaux featuring our brand new model Frankie.
This amazing collection is made with unique coated printed neoprene rubber with a functional zipper right down the center of the pouch. In stunning florals and psychedelic leopard prints.
We’ve been trying to get Frankie in front of our cameras for a few years but finally made it happen. You may recognize him if you’re tuning in to Drag Race Canada airing right now as he’s one of the Pit Crew. In fact, we now have three models in the Pit Crew… Frankie, Evan and Chance.
In case you can use them, here’s our exclusive photos of our Frankie rocking the new Vaux gear.

We did a shoot featuring Clever back in 2015. This was done on near Downtown Atlanta. It was a lot of fun to do with Model Damien who we worked with a few times after this shoot.
Today we bring you a look back at August 2016. This features the new swimwear from Marcuse at the time! Makes me wish I had a trip to the beach.
If you are like me, a bigger guy, you miss out on a lot of pairs of underwear out there. The sizing doesn’t go above 40, or 36 inches sometimes. BUT, your wait is over. One brand that is branching out beyond the smaller sizes is Xtremen.
Xtremen has been around for a few years. They got started by making boxer briefs and have added briefs, thongs, and jocks to their line up. But, their sizing was on the smaller end. No more, they now go up to XXX-Large. The 3X goes up to 42-44, while not inclusive to guys on the larger end, it’s a step in the right direction.
One thing I think many brands forget to take into effect is taller guys. I am tall and beefy. And even with losing weight, I think I look best at a 36ish waist size. When I was a 32 I was too thin. It’s great to see this and we have a few more brands following suit and we will see more brands create extended sizes! For that we say Hurrah!
You can find the new Xtremen Xtended sizes at the UNB Store Now!
Who needs a weekend at the beach? This year hasn’t been the best for fun in the sun. However, Smither’s Swimwear has some great pairs for fun in the sun at home or anywhere you are! Check out their amazing swim briefs.
The Butch Crown Jewel Brief was provided by Butch underwear. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
Rating: 10/10 (Average of the ratings below)
- Daily Fit: 10/10
- Sizing: 10/10
- Construction: 10/10
- Styling: 10/10
- Daily Performance: 10/10
Pros:
- Made for bigger guys and will fit you the way underwear should be
- Sizing should fit any guy up to XXX-Large
- The waistband was super comfy
Cons:
- Some guys may not like the classic design
- Some guys may not like the limited color choices
Tim’s Recommendation:
If you want to get a great pair of underwear for any size guy, Butch is your brand. It’s well made, fits great, and made for guys of all sizes. There should be no sizing issues, either. I felt great wearing these all day.
Butch is a new brand that I ran across on Instagram. They are a brand that makes undies for all sizes but markets to the bigger guys. Being a guy with a 42 waist currently, this is great! They sent me a few pairs to try, and I was super excited.
I gave these a real review and wore them on a trip to the botanical gardens for the day. In the age of COVID, I needed to get out and out of the house. Nothing was better than social distancing in nature. Which, I didn’t see many people out there. It was HOT out there, and I did a lot of walking, which I discovered how out of shape the COIVD pandemic has made me. That being said, the pair were excellent and fit so well. There was no riding up; it breathed and gave me such great support.
These briefs are well made. The fit and the feel, you can tell it was designed for a bigger guy. A lot of times, brands create the medium and resize from there. This pair seems it was designed just for me. One thing that amazed me is the waistband. It’s not a waistband design, but the construction. The band never dug into me and fit like a pair of underwear should fit. It wasn’t too tight. Some brands the waistband is too tight for the pair. You can tell the guys at Butch thought about their design for all guys and put their love of undies into this pair.
Sizing is always an issue when you are a bigger guy. Not with Butch, they have sizing from Small to XXX-Large. I got an XL, and it fit perfectly! They are based out of Australia and have pretty standard sizing. If you are on the larger side, check out the size guide for the right size. I don’t think you will go wrong by following their guide.
This pair was a classic design but really well made. The sizing and fabric are great. This pair is designed for bigger guys to feel amazing and sexy while wearing. I really loved wearing this pair and plan on wearing them in my regular rotation. They are awesome!
PAIR: Butch Crown Jewel Brief
COLORS: Red, Black, and White

This week the pair on sale is the Baskit Light Trunk. This pair is just $12 until midnight.
More coverage than a brief but less than a boxer – that’s the mission of our Baskit trunks. The Light Trunk carries on that tradition with bold new colors and a cotton jersey/ elastane fabric blend that’s soft to the touch – but also 15% lighter than the cotton usually used for men’s underwear. You can have additional coverage and still stay cool with our all new Light Trunk. Super soft. Not too think. That’s the Baskit Light Collection.

RAW STUDIO BLACK-OPS JOCKSTRAP SALE – 30% OFF THE WORKS
Gear up in something unique instead of some mass-marketed jocks that everyone has. Get 30% off this unique collection of hand-crafted jockstraps (and harnesses) from Raw Studio. We’ve got all sorts of hot new Raw Studio gear heading your way so we’re making room on our shelves and clearing out last years designs.
Embrace the dark side with Raw Studio’s Black Ops collection. This practically exclusive collection of jocks are made with leather, neoprene and some of the slickest modern-day fabrics with unique detailing all designed to show off your full potential. It’s a collection that’s as much fetish as it is club and perfect for your next Black Party, New Years Eve Bash or other Black Tie Event.
There are ten jockstraps and strapless jocks available in this collection and too many to get into all the specific details here in this newsletter so just head to our website to check them out and snag them before they’re gone for good.
What we love most is the leather jocks are made with Keoto leather. This leather is remarkable in that it’s as soft as lamb’s leather but it’s cow hide so it’s super strong. The inside of the leather feels like a very soft suede – your boys are going to love being in these jocks. Besides leather, some are made with a unique leatherette PVC, slick rubber-like polyurethane and a variety of mesh fabrics that go from subtly see-through to fully see-through.
Along with the jockstraps there are also three solid and mesh strapless jocks (Raw Studio calls them “socks”) – they’re simple yet ingenious consisting of a waistband and suspended pouch and nothing else. Think jockstrap without the leg straps. With a super contoured pouch and a short cut elastic, together they form a cup with a small opening to cradle your boys to perfection, the elastic sits high behind the balls. The best part is because there’s no straps pulling the pouch down, you’re able to hang naturally and free with an awesome bulge
