Today we break out what factors you look for in undies. It’s a long question so we will spread it out over two days. But here is the first part.

How important is the fabric to your undies choice? It’s very important. Almost 50% say it’s very important.

The cut of the underwear is even more important over 60% said so. I totally agree with you guys. It’s one of my top reasons.

There is nothing wrong with a bad fitting pair of underwear. Almost 70% of you agree. If it loses its shape I’m done!

I find that most of you love a good pouch. There are issues with it being too big or too small. The important thing is finding the brand that fits you best. Which is not easily found. It’s a lot of trail and error.

Sizing issues are always an issue. The important thing is to see how the brand fits. Does it run smaller, or larger. When in doubt it usually runs smaller. But if you ever have any questions, let us know we can give you advice.

Lastly is the style. I know many are picky about what they love. Which, is a good thing. When you have a style you love, you want to stick with it, such as a bikini, thong or jock. Wear what makes you feel amazing and sexy.

Today we focus on favorite styles and colors. They are two of the most important factors in underwear. We all have a favorite style, but that’s not all we wear. I know we have readers who only wear thongs, jocks, or briefs. But, there are many who wear many different styles depending on your mood.

We asked what is your favorite style to go to, there was only once choice. So this was the question where you tell us your go to pair. The one that is in top of your underwear drawer. Here are the results in order of popularity.

• Thong 28%
• Brief 21%
• Bikini 16%
• Jock 9%
• Boxer Brief 6%
• Jock Brief 2%

This one you may have to enlarge. However, we were curious about which pairs you wear in general. The blue line is never and the orange is always wear. You guys pretty much wear jocks, bikinis, briefs, and thongs. You really don’t like to wear boxer briefs, trunks, and jock briefs.

The last question for today is your favorite colors of underwear. We let you pick several different colors. Going forward we need to add a few new colors like Camo, Animal print, and more. I think we need to break out some more types of prints. The top colors are:

• Blue, Black, Red and white
• These don’t really surprise me but I thought Pink would be way higher.

We will have more on Friday, tomorrow we will have a new episode of the UNB Podcast.

Can I say finding graphs that like have been a pain? If anyone out there knows a great graphing program let me know. I”m back to Excel. But it’s about the data right?

It’s no surprise that you guys mainly buy every few months. The last few surveys, this was the case. Very few buy weekly or every few weeks. Underwear is expensive and most guys wait to buy.

It’s good to see the majority of you buy at on sale and regular price. I think there are brands that you love and will get no matter what the price. And there are new brands you want to try and buy on sale.

I think you guys hit it right, 20-25 bucks is about the regular price of most brands. Yes, there are some higher and lower but on average it totally agree

Price is always important when shopping for undies. It always has been and will be. I”m still working on the series of data and wanted to have more but didn’t have it completed. There is tons more coming.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the 2020 UNB Reader Survey. I love doing these and I know it’s a long survey so kudos to everyone who ventured into it. We constantly change the survey by adding questions and taking others away. I am arms deep in Excel going through all the questions, so if you think answering the survey takes time, imagine the tabulating the data!

This is just a brief overview of the first set of questions.

The only surprise is that our straight guys have fallen from a high of 33% a few years ago. I don’t know if it’s the readers have fallen or if they just didn’t participate in the survey. Our audience is mainly gay but we welcome everyone!

Aren’t graphs sexy? This is the range of sizes of readers. It’s no surprise that most readers are size medium. The second size is Large. We added XXL for the first time in this question.

Where are you guys located? Well, we are based in the US and have a major US following. I have been wanting to expand to other countries and that is on the road map. I would love a guy in Australia, Europe, and Japan. Just to give a different point of view.

How many pairs are in your collection? This is always an interesting piece of info. Note the 151 should be 151+. It’s cool to see that 151 or more is at 17%. It stair-steps down and then jumps up. The one thing that I am adding in this year are blanks. Blanks are guys who didn’t answer the question. They won’t be in every question but it is interesting to me to see which questions guys skipped.

These are the first few questions. I’m working on more of the data, some will take a while to compile. But over the next week or so you will get to find out how your answers stack up against other readers.
