If you are a long time reader of UNB, you know every year we do a reader survey. It’s usually in May but this year we are doing it in July! You maybe asking why are we doing a reader survey?

  1. Helps us make content you guys love reading
  2. Gives us data to show brands the success of our posts
  3. Helps us reach new brands with data and demographics of readers
  4. It gives you guys a look into other readers!

This year we have changed things up a bit. Instead of a long list of questions, we have broken them up to different pages. It’s just as long but the pages/sections will break things up. More questions are click a button rather than fill in a long or detailed response. After three to four years of data, we have the main choices in a lot of categories and you can still write things in the other section.

One thing to note is we are not getting any identifiable information. We are not collecting names, emails or phone numbers. So you can be 100% honest and no one will know who you are! I know many do not want to let the world know they love gear.

One question we are asking is if male or female. Our Google Analytics says that more women are reading the blog so we want to see how many will fill out the survey.

We will be sharing the results. Now that the survey is less interpretation, it will be able to be reported a lot sooner than previous years.

Brief Talk – Body Image Talk with ScruffyGear & UndiesGeek85

This is a start of an ongoing series on body image an underwear. UNB Tim is joined with Andy (ScruffyGear) and Erik (UndiesGeek85) for a talk about our own body image and the overall topic of body image. 

We will have brands, readers and more on very soon! Its a topic that deserves more than one show.

We talked about real guys this past week. One company that uses guys of different shapes and sizes is Jockstrap Central. They always get their own models. It’s a diverse group of guys that shoot. I have several favorites over the years. But this is Matthew in the Cellblock 13 Ward 13 Swimmer jock.

“Cellblock 13 just expanded their sexy Ward13 Swimmer Jockstrap collection to include new black and white versions. We go our French-Canadian model Matthew to model them for us.”

 

When you think of a jock, its always in the traditional design. Reckless by Ron has taken the jock and made something really cool! The Seamen Underjock is a mix of a jock, brief and harness. Well, that’s my take on the pair. The line always has super fun looking bondage pairs. They may not be designed that way but they remind me of super hot fetishwear.

This pair has a brief cut. The pouch is made out of silver prismatic metallic lycra that ties into the leg harnesses. the rest of the brief is a white mesh. So you show off a bit, but this is not a pair you cover up and don’t show anyone. It screams to be seen. If I put this on I would have a specific person and purpose for the pair. It wouldn’t be worn under jeans to work.

The sheer creativity of Reckless By Ron amazes me. Yes, that’s a pun. They are doing something that is a mix of leather/bondage and club. It’s taking what some people call boring, since a lot of times it’s black or dark colors. And then putting bright, metallic and different colors in one.

This is one of many amazing styles you need to check out!

Pair: Reckless by Ron Seamen Underjock
Color: Metallic/WHite
Fabric: Lycra/Mesh
Sizes: X-Small – X-Large

With our Reader Survey around the corner, we always ask about real guys in underwear. This could be our guys brave enough to drop their pants and take a few pics. Or regular guys on the internet showing off. It’s time we really start promoting the real guys on the site. This was sparked by a convo for the Brief Talk Podcast coming out this week, with ScruffyGear and UndiesGeek85. Two amazing guys who put themselves out there!

One thing that we have been known to do is a Brief Distraction. This showcases a brand, store, photographer, model or real life reader of the blog. It’s not just some random picture. It’s tied to the underwear industry in some way! Mostly it’s pics I think are amazing from brands and a link to the pair to buy. I want to get to the point where we can do at least one real guy/reader pic a week. I would be super excited to have more!

So what can you do? Fill out our form below with your email so we can contact you. Once we contact you share with us some pics and give us permission to run the pics. We can post your picture in one of two ways. The first is a link to your social media accounts. To help you gain followers and share your love of underwear. The second, to run the picture under a pseudonym without contact info. No worries that you can’t post it under your own name. However, we will need to know your name for permission but it will not be released to the public.

I hope you guys will be up for sharing pics of yourself in underwear, swimwear, spandex/workout wear and fetishwear. Maybe a little of all the above. One thing is we need it to be PG-13/R rated pics. Thongs and the back are ok but nothing 100% sheer or sexually excited pics (you know what I mean) or sex acts being performed. We will let you know if we can’t use your pics due to these issues.

We will start surfing throughout social media accounts and asking guys if we can post pics as well!

It’s in the middle of the swim season and it’s time to think about the new swim for the rest of the summer. All guys need to have a few pairs of swimwear through the summer. You can’t show up in the same suit to every party or pool. You need to rotate them and have some that others haven’t seen. Marco Marco has released the new Panel Swim Brief. It’s very retro to me and gives me an 80s vibe. I love these.

They are a mirror image of the front and back. Many times when there is a color block/panel in the front they rarely carry it around in the back. It’s usually a solid color. Speaking of colors it comes in blue, green or pink. Pink is my favorite of the three and that’s saying something when my favorite color is green. Pink is just one of those hot colors for men’s swimwear.

The retro vibe is carried over by the neon yellow panel against the black. This just makes the main color POP. I think that color should be a major part of the design of swimwear. Marco Marco isn’t afraid of pushing the boundaries of color. They have always made their designs eye-catching in both underwear and swimwear.

If you are in the market for new swimwear this is one pair you need to check out. You will turn heads at the pool/beach wearing these. I guarantee that if you wear the pink, many guys will come up to you an ask where did you get that pair or who makes it. Head over to the Marco Marco site and see all the awesome swimwear!

Pair: Marco Marco Panel Brief
Color: Blue, Green, or Pink
Fabric: hi quality Poly Span fabric
Sizes: Small – X-Large
Price: $45.00

Who’s ready to rock the thong this summer? Many of you guys are ready to wear a swim thong to the beach/pool. N2N Bodywear has a new thong that may look a little familiar! They have had bikinis with similar prints and one with a buckle before! Now they have combined the two and made the Fire Island Thong!

N2N Bodywear says this about their super sexy new thong: “Our latest sexy thong gets just a little more scandalous with just the push of a button. Make a splash at the pool, beach or home for some wild fun.” The front of this pair has a seamless pouch that should give you some great support. The side buckle, as mentioned above is fully functional and can be used to put on or take off. Whichever is your choice! There is no drawcord in the front and it’s unlined. Many of you like unlined because it shows off more.

The prints are pretty fun as well. If you want a more low key version to wear, I’d suggest the Mocha or Grey. If you want to show off a little more the purple will draw attention to you, but let’s face it. If you’re rocking the thong in public, you won’t mind having a few eyes on you!

N2N Bodywear has made some of my most favorite swimwear over the years. Andrew knows how to make something that fits a guy amazingly. That looks great on all body types. Lastly, one that shows off a guys body in the most flattering way possible. I”m working on trying to get an interview to go over how they have changed the way they are doing things this year. Stay tuned.

Pair: N2N Bodywear Fire Island Thong
Color: Mocha, Purple, or Grey
Fabric: 92% rayon 8% spandex
Sizes: Small – X-Large

The three colors

 

A leader in bamboo underwear for men, YOCISCO, celebrates its five year anniversary with first-time design collaboration with RayStraints, the recently-launched elastic harness company. Ray Vasquez is the owner and creative director of his near-namesake apparel company RayStraints which is quickly becoming known for custom elastic harnesses. Using the five-year anniversary as inspiration, Ray has designed five items exclusively for this collaboration using the original YOCISCO waistband from the 2013 Structured Brief.

In the past five years, YOCISCO has transformed from a small startup into a successful company that creates functional and fashionable, sustainable underwear and base layers. YOCISCO is always looking for new ways to expand the brand. “Meeting different people and being inspired by the world around us is essential to making products that people will love as their interests and lifestyles change,” said Gabriel Medina, CEO of YOCISCO.  “With this collaboration, I wanted to explore a space we haven’t been before. By collaborating with a harness designer we can revisit our core fan bases from my years as a go-go dancer. Working with Ray has been a great way for me to connect my creative spirit with my desire to learn new things.”

The collaboration will be a collection of harnesses which cleverly incorporates the Roman numeral five and the letter Y. “The idea behind the collection is to commemorate the five-year milestone. I want consumers to be able to take pride in these designs and appreciate them the way they appreciate the underwear,” said Ray.  “For the past four years I have been a customer of YOCISCO so to be given the opportunity to bring a new perspective of the brand to their global customer base leaves me speechless.”

The collaboration will be available exclusively to YOCISCO Insiders on July 9, 2018 and at San Diego Pride July 14-15, 2018. A limited quantity will be available for purchase online after July 17, 2018.

I LOVE singlets. I have for as long as I can remember. They have been sexy and super fun to me. If you are a fan of spandex and tight gear, I bet you are into them as well. One of the newest on the market is the American Jock AJ Team Wrestling Singlet. When I first saw this singlet, I knew It would be in my collection soon!

The reason I love this singlet is that it really mimics collegiate singlets. It mimics in color blog and size. Most fetish singlets are cut super low and can have strategic cut outs. Now, I love these as well but there is something to be said about the traditional collegiate singlet. I guess it leaves more to the imagination and shows off a guys body.

GoSoftwear site says this about the singlet: “This one piece is designed with spacious arm openings and a semi-scoop neck front as well as contrast color blocking for the ultimate sporty look.”

What can you do in a singlet? First, you can wrestle in it! This is one function that usually isn’t done when wearing singlets. Next, you can wear it to work out in. Some guys are wearing spandex to the gym. You can wear this as a tank under shorts or if you’re brave enough rock the full-on singlet in the gym. Another place you can wear it is to a bar. In my time I have seen guys wear them under jeans in the summertime. Lastly, there is another reason, a fun night inside. I don’t think I need to elaborate on that.

This singlet is also in red/black combo but for me, the Royal/Red is my favorite. Make sure you check out this pair and tons of other gear at the Go Softwear site.

Pair: American Jock AJ Team Wrestling Singlet
Color: Royal/Red or Red/Back
Fabric: 88% Polyester 12% Spandex
Sizes: Small – X-Large
Price: $40.50
