The whole nude fashion thing is waning when it comes to clothing but men who appreciate the combination of invisibility and support provided by nude tone men’s underwear are still buying. The UK’s leading male underwear and swimwear website Deadgoodundies.com sees a peak in sales when the sun shines. Their tips on going nude-but-not-naked are interesting: (1) a darker tone can ‘disappear’ more effectively than a paler shade under white clothing (2) wearing the right size is crucial because lumps and bumps give away the secret underlayer (3) this summer there’s nude swimwear for men – an interesting concept and DGU challenge you to match your tan perfectly, then watch the raised eyebrows!

The Greeks know a thing or two about looking good and getting all but naked – this new arrival is essential if you want to take up DGU’s Match Your Tan challenge. (This nude is offered with three pouch colours, also in a micro brief)

MODUS VIVENDI NUDE SWIM LOW CUT BRIEF £34.00

The original featherweight thong from HOM, updated, is still a best seller – along with the micro brief and trunk also offered in Skin, a pale tone – are always in stock at DGU. This male string underwear is especially popular on stage and screen, but you’d never know…

HOM NEW PLUME G-STRING £17.00

For men who favour natural fabrics this option, also available as a string, combines cotton and modal in a slightly deeper shade. And 1281 is THE bestselling micro shape from this collection, offered in a dozen colours and at a great price.

DOREANSE 1281 MICRO BRIEF £7.00

A recent return to DGU by L’Homme Invisible includes this nude tone, which is a little more creamy, on a stunningly soft Sensitive microfibre brief.

L’HOMME INVISIBLE SEXY BACK SLIP £34.00

 

This male slip is super low rise but still high leg, with good butt cover. And a great cosmetic shade for underpants beneath pale, lightweight clothing. It’s 95% cotton too so comfy for hot weather.

MODUS VIVENDI ANTI BACTERIAL LOW CUT BRIEF £18.00

One of several nude options from the famously sexy Joe Snyder collection from Mexico. Good cover, excellent shape, total jiggle avoidance.

JOE SNYDER BULGE 03 ENHANCEMENT BOXER £20.00

 

I hope you guys have been listening to the rebooted UNB Brief Talk Podcast. It’ been since 2012 since we last recorded. I have thought about bringing it back several times but never got around to doing it. Now that it’s back, I have been brainstorming to come up with ideas for the show. I want to try to do at least one a month if not two. But we need some great content to talk about and have a group of great guys to talk undies.

UNB is about celebrating our love of undies no matter if you’re gay, straight, bi or even a woman! We welcome all to learn about better underwear! So here is a quick poll, you know I love them, about what you want to hear. Also feel free to write in your own topics too! I’m working on the next episode as we speak.

 

March 2018. The coolest dotty trend you can’t stop wearing! Following this seasons trends, the revived Polkadot is the most wanted retro print this summer. The Polkadot obsession is here to stay and we know you want it! Express your fun vintage style with these polka dots and make a dreamy appearance.

The Polkadot line comprises of low cut brief, brief, and Brazil cut boxer. The Polkadot line is a must-have men’s swimwear in an irregular dots print fabric. Color your day at the beach wearing this swimwear featuring a vintage design in yellow, red and black, with a discreet Modus Vivendi logo label on the front and a pair of drawstrings ending in metallic tips for a custom fit.

The Modus Vivendi Polkadot Swimwear line is available from €49.30

It’s Swimwear Sunday! And this is our first swim thong of the season. The George Swim thong is brand new as of this week. BodyAware released it. It’s a different design from regular and skimper thongs and I thought it would make a great Swimwear Sunday pair!

The George Swim Thong has a really fun impressionist print. It’s not one I would expect to see in swimwear but I really love the pair! From the front, it looks like a swim brief with a black waistband but around back it’s a thong. It also has something a lot of thong swimsuits don’t have, a drawstring waistband. Most sim thong has just an elastic band. This could be a make or break for some guys. To me, it doesn’t bother me either way.

As I mentioned the back has a sculpted thong back and a brilliant sunshine yellow inner line. The back is made to enhance the look of your assets while wearing the pair. As you can see in the pic above it does a great job. This design I think would be a great first pair of swim thongs. The front is definitely flattering to many body types. Myself, a bigger guy, I would feel more comfortable wearing this pair than other pairs.

Lastly is the price, at $26 it’s very affordable for guys wanting to get a swim thong. Also, being from Bodyaware it’s going to be good quality for your money. I don’t think you will be disappointed with your purchase. I’m actually thinking of getting a pair for myself.

COLORS: Print as seen
FABRIC: 80% nylon/20% spandex
SIZES: Small – XX Large
COST: $25.95
If you want to nominate your favorite pair of swimwear this summer make sure you let us know. Fill out our form to tell us about the brand and style you nominate. You will be given credit and we may ask for a quote form you to say why you nominated the pair.

Did you read that right? YES, you did! The Evolve brand made by 2(X)IST has made a line of swim briefs and square cut swimwear for Target. I was told by Phillip a part-time writer and swim brief fan about the line. I also saw several friends post the “I’m a guy and I wear speedos” Facebook page, showing Walmart has board shorts and Target has swim briefs.  This really is a major thing that a retailer of this size is investing in the swim brief

Before you rush out to your local Target to shop the styles, it’s in a very few select stores. That’s the downside. It’s in very few stores and I would assume it’s in LA, NYC, Chicago, Miami and the like. In Atlanta, there were no stores that carried any of the styles. I saw one pair in a store in NYC. But, still, it’s a good thing that we hope will roll out to more stores

The next amazing thing is the price. The swim briefs are all $19.99. Yes, you heard that price right, just 20 bucks. For swimwear, this is an amazing price. Swimwear can range from the 20’s to well over 100 dollars. I think this would be an amazing first swim brief. Because of the price makes it very approachable to most guys. Second, there are more than just solids. It comes in several prints as well. You can go conservative or just have some fun with prints. Lastly, if they sell in stores it will be easy to get. Most stores now have self-checkouts so you can grab your swim brief, head to the self-checkout and no will know you bought one!

It’s awesome that Target is taking a risk like this and making swim briefs for the masses. I told people many years ago we will have a resurgence of the style. In the 80’s it was acceptable to wear and then went out of fashion. Now, we will see the popularity of the pair grow. If you go to the Target site search for evolve swimwear. There isn’t a landing page for the brand…yet.

Silk and lace are two materials that guys are loving. One brand that I saw on Instagram, which has been a hot bed for discovering new brands, is SULIS. Their silk designs really spoke to me and I knew that I had to cover the brand. Before I could even reach out they emailed us this about their brand. I”m super excited about this brand and hope we can score some reviews of the brand very soon. I hope you guys will check out this brand!

British manufacturer Sulis use fine silk satins and high-quality lace to make unique boxers and briefs for men who desire more from their underwear.

Underwear for men isn’t boring anymore. It’s easier than ever to find something more comfortable, practical and sexy than the traditional cotton Y-fronts or loose shorts. Sulis bring lace and silk to the table, to create pieces that are exciting, elegant and comfortable.

The collection started with the silk lace touch brief, launched in 2016. A simple and comfortable “seamless-front” design in black or sable overlaid with a dramatic and robust baroque-inspired embroidered lace.

Director Duncan Faulkner says: “We thought it looked great, but it was an experiment really. The feedback from our customers has been really positive, so we have expanded the collection for this season.”

The latest designs of pure silk briefs are created from a rich palette of cranberry, navy, sable or purple. Luxurious panels of semi-sheer lace allow teasing glimpses of the skin beneath.

The collection also includes the stretch lace sided boxer. A supportive fitted boxer brief with a front and full seat in storm grey stretch silk satin (91% silk, 9% elastane) and legs made with a matching soft stretch lace.

All the collections are designed and made at the independent company’s studios near Bath, England and are available in sizes S to XXL.

4 Hunks is introducing their very first thong! The company known for jocks and sports-inspired gear designed their first super fun thong. It’s called the Swing Thong. As you can see from the picture it has an ample pouch designed to fit the guys who need a bit more room in the front. In fact, they say “This is the perfect Thong to show off and tease guys with your massive tool!”

We got a chance to ask them about this thong:

I wanted to design a piece that really gives an impression. For that, I thought I need to give a good push from the bottom. So I constructed the pouch pattern upside down. Starting from the bottom to the top. It pushes everything to the top and front. I feel like it’s my duty to improve underwear.

When asked about this design, they told us they thought they could make the design of a thong more manly and sexy. I will say that they achieved this pairing. It’s a pair you can wear and show off in at the same time. I think they took on this challenge and succeded in making it pretty awesome.

As I have said 4 Hunks mixes some of my favorite things. Sportswear, spandex, underwear, and fetishwear. They called the mash up Sportishwear. Which I think is the appropriate terminology for their gear! This new thong is a great addition to their line up. You can also wear it with their harnesses and other gear.

If a pouch is important to you in a thong this is a must-have pair for you. It’s the first of many thongs I hope we will see from 4 Hunks. Each time they produce something new I am impressed!

Tigerheat furnished this pair at a discount for our review. But all opinions are my own on the pair.

Rating: 8/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 7/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Super sexy design, fun orange color, really fun to wear

Cons: Onesize fits all for all people, Just in orange you may want another color, thong background (if you don’t like them)

UNB Tim recommendation: If you’re looking for a super fun bodysuit this is it. This pair is made for fun and is super playful. If you’re tall you may have an issue but everyone should buy fun gear! 


It’s no secret that I love singlets and bodysuits. I have loved them since I was in my teens. I didn’t get my first singlet till I was about 18 or 19. After that, I had to have more and more. Currently, in my collection, I have about 25-30 singlets. I haven’t really counted lately. After covering the Tigerheat Bodysuit I got a chance to get one and review it for you guys.

The first thing I noticed was the fabric. It’s not as thick as I thought it would be, but that’s not a bad thing. It’s a cotton fabric with spandex that feels great. If you did wear it to work out in it, I think it would be a great fabric. The next thing I noticed was being 6’4″ not all singlets are made for us tall guys. It took me a few mins to adjust and get it on. The high cut sides and thong back were something I had to get used too. The normal singlet I have has somewhat of a leg or a brief cut at the bottom.

I didn’t wear this pair to work or anywhere. Or for that matter for anyone, I just wore it to relax around the house one Saturday. I could see this pair used in more “playful activities” very easily. It’s super sexy in the design. Some of the gear I have is designed for working out and sport, while others like this is designed simply for fun. That fun can be in and out of bed!

The sizing for this pair is easy, one size fits all! Again if you’re tall like me it will be a bit of a stretch to get in. That’s the downside of the one size fits all! I’m also hoping that once I work out more and get in better shape it will fit me much better as well. Fingers crossed on that one!

If you love sexy bodysuits, check out this pair! I don’t think you will be disappointed. To order, DM them on Instagram

PAIR: Tigerheat BodySuit
COLORS: Orange
FABRIC: Cotton/Spandex
SIZES: One Size
COST: $39.99

Who loves pink undies? Who loves a great deal on undies. If you answered yes to both, then this weeks Baskit $12 Tuesday is for you! Even if you don’t like pink there are a few more colors on the pair, you just have to like a great brief. The contrast trim of the pair is really awesome. To get this pair go to the Baskit website and check this deal out! Before it’s too late
