When we talk about basics, a lot of guys just tune out. They think basic pairs are boring and lack pizzaz and style. They want amazing colors and prints and not just white, black, navy or grey. Well, this basic will leave you wanting more!
The N2N Bodywear Air Basic brief has taken the basic to a new level. The pair has a classic (and fun) n2n waistband. It’s actually a design that you are going to love. Mix that with the classic bikini cut and you have a winner. That alone would make me want this pair, however, they mix in several bright and bold colors!
The colors in this line up are red, orange, royal, kelley, and yellow. Five amazing and bright colors! I am a huge fan of primary colors in general but especially in underwear. Wearing bright fun undies just makes me feel so much better through out the day.
You may be wondering how is N2N doing this? Well we will have a podcast with them soon. This year they have been on fire with amazing pairs after amazing pairs. Every week they release new underwear, swimwear and gear. So stay tuned for that!
Get this line before it’s gone, and yes it will be gone. There are so many pairs that I wanted, that are now GONE. Act fast or you’ll have to wait for the next amazing pair
PAIR: N2N Bodywear Air Basic Brief
COLORS: red, orange, royal, kelly, and yellow
FABRIC: 60% Rayon 32% Rayon 8% Spandex
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $18.00

Have you guys tried Box Menswear? They have classic yet stylish underwear. They also have swimwear as well. If you haven’t checked them out you should.
We asked and you guys answered. We asked if you guys have been wearing swim briefs and where you have been wearing them. Here are the results:
Those who responded wear them either all the time or occasionally. Only about 10% don’t wear them. I should have asked if you don’t, do you wear swim thongs. Because there are guys who don’t like swim briefs who love thongs.
We all can’t be models or have model bodies. So when we asked if you’re an average guy. 82% of you said you were average when almost 8% said you could be a model.
I like to ask this question because the face of underwear and swimwear is changing. It’s not longer a “gay” thing to like underwear. We have a lot of straight and bi readers, who are amazing, that love underwear. So I was curious how many would love swim briefs.
I have been wearing swim briefs since my late teens and it’s cool to see how long people have been wearing them. It seems we have quite a few new guys wearing them! Which is awesome!
Here are some of the things you guys said about swim briefs:
| Why do you wear swim briefs? |
| always very sexy |
| Beautiful, sexy, maximum tan body |
| Because when I’m in the pool I’m swimming for exercise, and really, what else would you wear for that? |
| Cause I love to be seen, and because there are really confortable for swim |
| Comfort |
| comfort |
| Comfort is #1. Then there is the feel of them. And lastly it’s that..”uh yeah I’m wearing a swim brief you prude”. |
| Comfort, quick drying, grew up with then |
| Comfort, sexy look & tan |
| Comfort, support, look |
| comfort. ease of packing |
| Comfort. Sex appeal |
| comfortable, beautiful, sexy and eye-catching |
| Comfortable, confidence booster |
| Comfortable, drys quick, better tan |
| Convenient |
| Detest all other styles of underwear |
| dorck shorts are uncool |
| Easy, comfortable in my hot tub |
| Feel great and look sexy. |
| Feels sexy in them |
| Fit and how my assets look |
| Habit |
| Home |
| I don’t like the tan lines board shorts or trunks leave. I wear brief or bikini underwear. Swim briefs leave a tan line that matches my underwear line. I don’t like that odd tan line board shorts or trunks leave on your legs. |
| I don’t but I want to |
| I just love (swim) briefs |
| I just started wearing them at home |
| I like both the feel and the look, especially for proper swimming |
| I like the feel and support. Also, give great tan lines even if you do not do very tanning. |
| I like the way they look on me and I wear skimpy underwear normally so too much material feels weird |
| I love briefs in general so why not wear swim briefs at the pool! |
| I love how they feel. |
| I love the look, the feel, the comfort, and how they make me feel |
| I’ve worn them since I was in my teens and swim shorts are just not comfortable. |
| Less fabric when swimming |
| Like you, the support is better, they dry so much faster, but most importantly I feel sexier in them. And since they’re still very rare, I like to feel like I’m not following the crowd. |
| Love the cut |
| Mainly because I like the “speedo tan line” better than a board shorts tanline with white thighs. |
| Makes my behind look nice |
| More comfortable |
| Never did before but if girls can wear bikinis why can’t guys wear swim briefs |
| Pool |
| Quick drying, during sports more movement because of the less fabric and less resistance , tanning during private time. And of course they are damn sexy |
| Sexy |
| Sexy |
| Streamlines the swim, no drag from loose boxer style |
| Stremlining, closet feel to the water, |
| Super comfy, sexy, and the most practical for swimming and playing in water. |
| tan lines are incredibly sexy. show off the hard work ive put into the gym |
| Tan lines, support, and shorts have way too much fabric. |
| The cut and sexy look it gives |
| The exact same reason Tim wears swim briefs. I couldn’t have said it better myself. |
| The feel good, move well in the water, look better than anything else, and I feel sexy to myself. |
| They are comfortable and make much more sense that swim trunks |
| They are more comfortable, have better support, and highlight my assets. |
| They are sexy, comfortable and you get nice tanlines |
| They look good |
| They look good |
| They make me feel sexy |
| They make me feel sexy. |
| They’re sexy |
| They’re sexy |
| To attract gay men |
| To show body & have a good tanline |
| To show off my bulge and ass |
We then asked do you face any challenges wearing them:
| Lastly, have you faced any challenges wearing swim briefs in public, if you have let us know. |
| 1 or 2 episodes of harassment — but I’m usually very indifferent to bystanders’ comment, |
| A couple of strange looks, but usually I get comments like “I wish I had the confidence to wear that” |
| Being poked fun at by friends. |
| Body shame |
| Felt like a beached whale when I was heavy for a decade, thankfully I didn’t live anywhere with lakes or beaches at the time. |
| have no problem with that, I’m always in the brief |
| I don’t appreciate the strange looks you get with swim briefs in most places if you don’t have a “model’s body.” |
| I had no such problems. |
| I have never been brave enough to wear them in public. |
| I have not faced any challenges yet. |
| I haven’t yet |
| I know I would, but the next swimsuit I’m gonna buy has to be a swim brief |
| I leave others to do what they like, I simply don’t care |
| I pretty much wear them at gay pool parties or gay friendly pools only |
| I sometimes get weird looks from women, but usually thumbs up from men. Otherwise, I’ve had no issues. |
| I was dismissed from a college pool in California! To have access again I had to wear dorck shorts! |
| I wear them lap swimming no problems. I sometimes wear a swim thong at the beach, also no problems. |
| I’m usually “that guy” but I never care about the looks I get. |
| I’ll wear them depending on situations but in general no. A few snears and laughs but most of the time nothing. |
| I’m a bit scared |
| I’m very nervous about it |
| I’m very nervous about it |
| Just not a fan of the swim brief fit. I feel like I’m always adjusting, and having wedgies. |
| Living in North American, it seen as a no no. |
| Most don’t |
| My wife isn’t the biggest fan |
| Never. No one has ever commented on my swim briefs. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing! I think most of the challenges people who wear or want to wear swim briefs have is in their own heads. |
| No |
| No |
| No |
| No |
| No |
| No |
| No |
| No |
| No |
| no |
| No |
| No |
| No |
| no |
| No |
| No ‘till now, maybe one or two people seeing with a lot of attention, but nobody told anything… |
| No. The last year only compliments about the funny prints. Therefore some jokes of friends, but I turned one of them to swim boxers in stead boardshorts during swimming. |
| none |
| NONE |
| none so far. |
| None what so ever |
| None. But it helps to have a muscular body. |
| nope |
| Nope. Even in my beefy state,what others think is not my problem, they are the ones thinking it. It’s their own hang up that they need to deal with. Tits are everywhere in Europe, in newspapers, magazines and most beaches. It’s only Puritan western culture that takes issue with them. That same Puritan mentally is why people are afraid of the brief. |
| Nope. I get looks but who cares. |
| not in public |
| Not yet |
| Public judgement |
| Social acceptance in smaller situations. Always wear on vacation |
| Some jealous stares from other people |
| Sometimes feels awkward in heavily populated areas |
| The biggest challenge is building up the confidance to wear them and not let the looks and/or remarks other guys are saying. |
| They feel revealing, which can be awkward at times as you can feel quite exposed, but it’s also quite liberating. |
| Wife doesn’t really like me to wear them most places |
If you answered the survey or didn’t leave comments about your findings of the survey
Get your mind out of the gutter! We are looking to profile more of the guys who read UNB. This blog would not be almost 11, with out you guys. In the past we have posted Brief Tales, about how you discovered your love of undies. They are basically Underwear origin stories. We want to do more and expand them.
We have so may guys now rocking the swim thongs that it would be great to hear the first time you wore a thong in public. Or, the first time you wore a swim brief. Or tried something new. There is so much to share!
I think one thing that I love about UNB is the community of guys. I want to share more of who you guys are and what you love! If you are interested it’s super simple, just enter the info below and we will be in touch. Come on guys what do you have to loose? You can have a pen name and keep everything confidential.
One of my favorite jocks ever is the Cocksox Jock. Because first is the amazing pouch. The support just feels amazing, second is the fit. The straps don’t roll or get in the way. If you need a new jock, check it out!
If you are a long time fan or 2(X)IST, I know you remember the pairs above. These are pairs that launched 2(X)IST into the underwear world and eventually mainstream. It’s a literal blast from the past. It’s the new Heritage Collection.
I remember buying these pairs in the late 1990’s and loving them. The signature waistband, at the time, said you were an underwear lover to anyone who saw it. The thing I loved most about it was it was very “of the time.” Meaning if someone who didn’t know underwear wouldn’t give the waistband any thought, but those who did gave you a knowing look.
The four styles brought back from 1991 are the Fly Front Brief, Contour Pouch Brief, the Low Rise Bikini Brief, and the Y-Back thong. All four of these are classics in the underwear world. If you aren’t old enough to remember them, you need to get a pair and try ASAP.
The Y-Back thong was the very first thong that I wore the entire day. Before that other thongs would drive me crazy, but this thong was amazing to wear all day. Those first thongs I bought got a lot of wear from me back in the day!
If you are a fan of color, you’re out of luck in this collection. Back in the 90’s these were available in just black and white. However there is a heather grey as well. This was the time where men’s underwear went very basic in it’s color choices. I didn’t mind it because they fit so amazing.
These pairs are got 2(X)IST to where it is today. We all knew about Calvin Klein back in the day with their Underwear Models (Marky Mark, etc). At the time I way preferred 2(X)IST’s cut and feel over CK. And a lot of other people did as well. They went on to grow from this humble beginning to what it is today.
It’s amazing to see a company as big as 2(X)IST, go back to its roots and bring back underwear that was just a memory. As I said if you remember these pairs, relive some nostalgia. If you weren’t old enough to wear them the first go-round. Try them out now! Consider it an underwear history lesson from an underwear professor with a Ph.D.!
Shop the new Heritage collection at the 2(X)IST website.
Looking for something fun? Have you checked out the Armored Next trunks from Maskulo. Here are some of the features:
- Made basically of black stretchable leatherette;
- New aggressive codpiece design with graphical cut lines;
- Easy access through detachable codpiece in the front and zipper at the back;

We have covered singlets since I think UNB has been in existence. Now, there is a new trend in bodysuits for men. BodyAware has a very unique take on them. Some of theirs have thong back and others are made out of satin. The latest bodysuit is the Breezy Neon Body Suit.
Unlike their other suits this one is more of a traditional cut. The difference is the color. It is available in two neon colors, neon orange and pink. Both, are awesome colors. BodyAware never is a brand to try bold and fun colors.
Life’s a breeze when you’re wearing sexy underwear, and the Breezy Neon Bodysuit is no exception! Made from a soft and slinky nylon blend and available in a selection of bright vibrant neon colors. This sultry bodysuit features a racer-back design, a roomy pouch, and a full back rear
One thing that you should be aware of is this pair doesn’t have an opening between the legs. This could be problematic if you plan to wear all day to work. But if you wear for working out or other functions you will be fine.
If you are looking for something different and fun, the Breezy Neon Bodysuit is something you should check out.
PAIR: BodyAware Breezy Neon Body Suit
FABRIC: 90% Nylon / 10% Spandex

I am a massive fan of Cocksox as you guys know! They have one of the top pouches on the underwear market. It’s just amazing what they do with fabric. But did you know that they have more than one pouch design? I know, It was like WHAT? when I found out.
The three different pouch designs are “Original, Contour, and Snug” What is the difference between the three pouches? Glad you asked, here are the definitions from Cocksox
- Original Pouch – The largest and most enhancing of the Cocksox pouch designs, perfect for when your boys need a boost
- Contour Pouch – Holds your boys closer, giving the ultimate comfort and support during periods of high activity
- Snug Pouch – Not quite as enhancing as the Original Pouch, but the Snug design still offers the same support and comfort
All three pouches give you that fantastic support you have come to love from Cocksox. I have worn every one of these, and they all feel amazing. If you are a fan one, I think you will be a fan of all of them.
Which styles are which pouches? Glad you asked! Here are each of the styles and their corresponding pouches.

This is a video from 2012! Bum Chums made this to show off their newest undies at the time. “To celebrate the launch of two new styles of underwear, just in time for 2012, bum-chums bring you the In2cooler & the tool belt.

Are you looking for something really fun to wear? Rick Majors, at International Jock, has a really fun new line out called Liquid Skins. It’s a fabric that gives you a wet like rubber look. Making it look super sexy
The cuts in this line are amazing. But this fabric is what makes it for me. Here is what they say about the fabric.
The silky-smooth Liquid Skin fabric features a special matte coating that mimics the erotic look and feel of rubber. It offers a body-hugging fit with incredible stretching properties but will never lose its original shape.
In this collection each style in the collection utilizes a fit, color and fabric to accentuate the best you have to offer and make you feel cool, comfortable and confident. The colors are eggplant, silver, and blue. There is also a collection that is black.
I love this collection because it has a lot of thongs and bikinis! We need more smaller cuts like this in the market. My hat is off to the team at Rick Majors and hope they keep making amazing gear.
