Are you a big fan of the classic jock? Do you wish it came in more colors then just a few? Or would you like something different out of the classic jock? If you answered yes then we have the perfect jock for you. The DMX Gear Luxury Jock!
This jock has the look of a traditional jock. Which are a wide waistband and roughly 1-inch leg straps. The only thing that’s different is the pouch. It’s not a nylon mesh but regular fabric. This I think could be a plus for many of you out there.
The waistband is a black band with two color stripes at the top and bottom. The leg straps match the color of the stripes. The colors are bright, bold and fun neon colors. It definitely adds a pop to the pair!
We hope you check it out!

When most brands outside of underwear make the claim “most comfortable” or “best ever” I always view it with skepticism. I”m not always sure they are the best. However, when Timoteo says this is the best you can believe it.
One of the newest pairs to be released is the Hydro line. It comes in a brief, jock and boxer brief. Today we are just focusing on the brief. The new line is made out of a high-quality athletic mesh fabric. This fabric is perfect for working out and being active. The pair is designed to provide a relaxed but close fit. Meaning it will fit you amazingin.
The Hydro line comes in three colors. Blue, White and Red. They each one has a matching waistband and black sides/back. This design makes it totally pop. Mix in a little bit of while, that adds the finishing touch.

It’s time to break out your best underwear for the holidays! One brand that should be in your wardrobe is Sukrew! Their amazing pouch will have you HO HO HO all through the holidays.
While we are having cold weather and maybe some snow in North America, down under they are in summer. Time to grab your swim briefs and hit the beach. Teamm8 has released a new series of swim briefs. We profiled the flamingo briefs from them a few weeks back. However, not everyone is up for rocking a pink swim brief on the beach. The new Strike swimwear is a classic cut and color swim brief.
The new Strike swim Briefs comes in four great colors. They are Navy, Red, White, and Green. The features of this brief are a Quick dry 4-way stretch, Fully lined, and External tie-cord with metal tips. Made out of a 85% Polyamide 15% Spandex fabric.
I personally love this pair because it is more classic. This pair will have a lot more guys willing to wear it. It also is a cut that many different body types can wear as well. If you’re thin, muscular, or beefy. We are seeing more and more swim briefs coming to the market. While I still want the flamingo brief, I would not turn this down either.
Remember it’s never too early to get you some great swimwear for the summer! You may have a cruise or tropical trip planned over winter. Plus its my opinion you need to have 3-4 pairs of swim per season.
Pair: Teamm8 Strike Swim Brief Color: Navy, Green, Red, and white Fabric: 85% Polyamide 15% Spandex Sizes: X-Small – X-Large Price: $62.73 AUD (see exchange rates

Are you after some great undies for the season? If you are check out all the new Intymen Underwear! We are sure there are a few pairs that would look great in your underwear drawer and on!
Are you a fan of spandex? We all know I do love a singlet but I also enjoy most spandex gear. One company that I found on Instagram is SkinFit. They are an amazing company based out of Mexico. The first thing that caught my eye was the full spandex bodysuit and then I looked at the site!!!
This is my favorite gear on the site as I mentioned above. The Long Singlet to me is super sexy. It’s a cross between a singlet and runners! It’s super amazing and you get to pick your colors!! Not many stores let you pick your own colors. This pair retails for $75.
Skinfit makes some amazing spandex shorts and runners. They have a retro style of shorts that is amazing. A lot of shorts on the market are solid colors. These have the stripe down the side. I love these kinds of shorts.
If that is not reason enough to love this brand they also do underwear and swimwear. The Underwear (1st pic on the top row and the two bottom) are made out of spandex and mesh, I think a lot of you guys will love this brand. The swimwear (Top middle and right) is much smaller but still super sexy
I hope you guys go check out SkinFit and get some amazing gear!

Should there be a Facebook for Underwear lovers? I have often pondered this exact thing and how it could be implemented. Most current social media sites are very anti men’s underwear. You can’t post bulge pictures or any hit a guy has a penis. And, as of this past week Tumblr is shutting down it’s “adult” content. Which men’s most of men’s underwear will be included. I scrolled through our Tumblr and 3/4 of our posts have the Redline saying “Flagged as Adult Content.” and I’m not going through and getting a review. I’m trying to export it and either move it or shut it down.
I think there is a need for the social network in general. However, I don’t want it to be a place just to post nude and overly sexual underwear pics. I want a space where guys actually talk and share their passion for underwear. It would need to be a space open to all, that is gay, straight, bi and more. I have had some of the best underwear talks with straight guys. One, in particular, is Salvatore here on UNB. He’s super busy but he’s one of the most amazing friends I have in my life.
The I’ve looked into it and most of the issue is the platform and cost of hosting. This would definitely need its own server to run. Platforms are kind of wonky in general. But it’s something I would love to do and bring about. I depend on what you guys would want and need. I”m curious if you guys would join such a site? What would be the most important things you think it should have?
Shoot us an email if you have thoughts on this and a private social network. BTW. I know it would need to have pseudonyms!!

Have you wanted to wear spandex to the gym? Have you ever had complaints issued about you to the management for wearing it? Do you see people give you the side eye? We have heard this from some guys, while others have no issues. We asked the expert in Runners about this, Cesar Torres owner of LED Queens. Here is what they said about the issue:
There has been a growing movement of guys wearing spandex to the gym over the last few years, why do you think guys, gay and straight, are taking to spandex again?
If we pay attention to the history of fashion, we can easily recognize cycles that repeat. I would say that we are currently experiencing one of those cycles in fitness wear. The last time body-hugging legwear for men was this popular was probably the late 80s and early 90’s, which also happens to be a high point in the cycle for nylon/spandex in both culture and fitness. But I don’t think a historical cycle tells us the whole story. I think what we are seeing now is a movement of more personal and sexual expression as LGBTQIA people become more visible in out societies all around the world. A pair of tights can be a powerful tool for expression to say fuck you to the gender binary while also being fashionable in a fitness context. It’s a way to break some very silly rules about gendered clothing traditions and to also express yourself. I think the rise of Instagram also has a lot to do with the new popularity of leggings. People want to show off their goods on camera and get approval from their followers for those looks. Instagram, has a dark side, though, and that’s a much more complicated issue. Instagram can generate a lot of anxiety for people and also create false images of what reality is really like. But it doesn’t take away the fact that tights for men and male-presenting people can help one feel very proud of one’s physique. And we should all be proud, regardless of gender or sexuality. History has indeed repeated itself in many ways, but in 2018 this repetition of the cycle has extra meaning because we are living in the digital/machine learning age. The photographic image and video part of everyday life, and there’s no going back. Most moments of our lives (and fitness activities) are now captured into digital storytelling that is published on a daily basis.

Along with this rise in popularity, we have head from readers and our own on writer Shawn, that there has been some backlash from gyms against men wearing tights/runners, have you seen this from your customers?
In general, LED fans and customers have told me the opposite. They have said that their friends and acquaintances at their local gyms have embraced their leggings and tights, especially when the designs are very colorful or bright. They act as icebreakers for many people. However, I also have had a few customers tell me that they have gotten looks of disapproval or heard comments behind their back about wearing them. Many of those anecdotes have come from the United States. I think that the United States culture at large still has a lot of difficulty dealing with sexuality and the human body, and it drives me mad when I see people giggling over a man in tights at the gym. There is nothing to laugh at, in my opinion, and in fact, men pioneered tights. It was in Europe over several centuries in the past where men wore stockings and tights before women ever did. People who snicker and comment are usually doing so out of their own insecurities, and that’s nothing new. Customers from countries outside the U.S. aren’t experiencing as many anecdotes like these, and that also reflects the different attitudes to men’s bodies and sexuality in other regions of the world. It’s very contextual. At the same time, if you live in a community where your safety is threatened if you wear such fashion items, I hope you are cautious and also ready to fight for your own safety. We don’t live in a paradise, and I don’t want people who follow LED Queens to think we are living in a utopia. Things are still difficult for anyone who sticks out or doesn’t fit the typical mold. Stay safe, but never forget to stay fucking strong, too. Be a Queer Punk.

I feel this is a total double standard that women can wear them but men can’t. What advice do you give guys who want to wear these to their gym, when the gym says they have “complaints” about you wearing them?
The days of that double standard are over, by the way. Tights for men are here to stay, and the men who love them have spoken! Larger brands than myself like Under Armour and Nike have a load of analytics data and billions of dollars in sales to show that men (straight, cis and/or LGBTQIA) love tights. If owners or staff in your gym have received complaints about men in tights, I would want to know the specific details about the complaint. Complainers tend to say “I don’t want to be subjected to see a man’s junk!” But, if that is their complaint, why do they keep looking at men’s crotches all day long? Those who make this complaint tend to be obsessed with looking and gazing at men’s bodies, and those jerks often correlate to being closeted gays. Most men who are secure in themselves don’t spend all day inspecting other men’s bodies. I think these complainers need to be treated very carefully because they can be nuisances for a long time and can remain toxic. Nothing will stop them from being obsessed with looking at men’s crotches. If your local gym brings up a complaint to you, ask them, “who made the complaint, and what specifically did they say”? If you get a really vague answer from the staff, that’s already a red flag. That staff may not be an ally to you. If a gym asks you to cover up based on a complaint, you may be subject to their rules, since they are private businesses. Not much you can do about that. If that ever happens, the next action step is simple as hell. Stop giving those assholes your money and get a gym membership somewhere else where they are not policing people’s bodies.
At the same time, I am not going to say that every male wearing spandex to the gym is an angel. Because they’re not. Many guys love the exhibitionism of tights to a degree that moves into being a fetish or sexual game. As people, we also have to take ownership of our actions. If you are using the gym as a sexual playground where you are purposefully exposing your genitals with cock rings or clothes that cartoonishly exaggerate the bulge, you are free to make that choice. Women make that choice all the time by wearing low cut, plunging necklines and spandex tights that are cut too low to the gym. I am sex positive so, cheers to all the sluts of the world! But my point is, there is still a time and place for everything. A gym is not the same space as a fetish event. And many people forget that. The gym is communal spaces for all people, and we also owe other people respect if we want them to respect us. Make smart choices for yourself, and develop self-awareness. Self-awareness and maturity mean that you don’t make everything in your day about yourself. I am not telling you to hide your bulge, because I don’t advocate shame over our bodies, but keep in mind that only you are the best judge of the environment you are in, and some environments are better than others for transgressive, cruisy choices.

And on this note, let’s talk for a moment about shorts over tights, which I get a lot of questions about. I hate that style choice. I think it breaks the great silhouette of the leggings and can create problems with bunched up fabric or overheating. I think in many cases people do it because they are a bit shy about wearing tights alone. We have shown some product photos on LED’s Instagram with shorts over tights because we do acknowledge that for some customers, they want to see how the product will look with shorts. I get it. If you like shorts on top, embrace it. But for me, I like to wear shorts just on their own. Tights on their own. Embrace your personal style and just run with your choices! And have fun.
What is LED Queens doing to curb this type of thinking and show that tights/runners are for everyone?
At LED Queens, we show you what LGBTQIA people are wearing all over the world to help promote a better understanding of this fashion garment. We lead by simply being ourselves. Tights are indeed for everyone, including cis men, trans men, non-binary people, and both male- and female-presenting people. I personally regram, retweet and re-feature our customers of all shapes and sizes in our Instagram account as they work out in our tights or show off their selfies to the world. Yes, there are bulges in the pics. All good. And my customers are really handsome people! We recently rolled out our new hashtag #led🍑oftheday, which features LED fans’ butts in our gear. We embrace what a pair of tights does a for a mans’ body. You will never see Under Armour with such a hashtag, so come on over to LED, where we have way more fun than they do. LED Queens is here to validate the lives and bodies of LGBTQIA people. We don’t care about the gender binary, and we want people to embrace fitness. In some cases, we provide a virtual safe space for customers who live in smaller cities where there are not too many LGBTQIA sports clubs or support. That’s why I created our Facebook group Queer Punks Barbell Club: https://m.facebook.com/groups/259677044692626. That fulfills our mission to support the community. Tights are absolutely for everyone, and people have to remember that they are a fashion choice. Having respect for other people’s choices, even if you disagree with them, takes us one step closer to a better society.
What do you think we can do as an individual and as a blog to increase the awareness of tights/runners in the gym?
Provide a lot of love and support to people in your life who chose to wear tights and leggings. You don’t have to be patronizing or politically correct to do this. You can just simply say “I love your personal style, keep it up!” Or “you look great in your fitness gear!” And if you see people being teased or bullied over these choices, speak up. And above all, just respect other’s people’s right to be themselves.
We hope this helps you guys wear what you want when you want!

ES Collection released the new Bon Voyage swimwear collection. This is what they told us about this new fun collection.
The birth of Denier exactly 60 years ago served as inspiration in developing a cheerful collection which is fresh and marked by contrasts. With “Bon Voyage” we go back to the 60s, which was the height of the industrialization boom in Barcelona and as a consequence, saw the arrival of thousands coming from smaller towns and cities. Denier was born in the heart of what was later called “Catalan Manchester“ because of the number of factories situated in the popular Poblenou neighborhood in Barcelona during that decade.
But the Barcelona of those years was also marked by an initial opening of Spain to the exterior and by the arrival of the first tourists to our country and, with it, a new way of seeing life and understanding leisure. The artistic currents of these years were marked by the arrival of people from other countries bringing a new vision of life: the hippie movement, pop art and optical art, the new hyperrealisms … Everything found a place in a society marked by change and movement.
“Bon voyage” is much more than just a simple trip, it is the journey of life; it speaks of movement, mixture, evolution … Throughout history, changes have always come from influences, movements, migratory flows … and the 60s in our country is a true reflection of all of that. We hope you have a good trip!
Do you love this collection? If so you can find it at the ES Collection site.
