When you think classic underwear, I’m betting that Slick It Up is not one company you would think of making classic undies. When I think of Slick It Up, it’s more fetish, spandex, mesh and barely there gear. However, they have made their own classic line called Adonis.

So, what makes the Adonis a classic pair? In most brands, it wouldn’t be in the classic line, but for Slick It Up, it definitely is! The pair is a simple design. Not saying this as a bad thing. Most simple pairs feel amazing. It’s simply a gold waistband with a brief body. The brief could be, dare I say, a bikini cut. Their official description said that they have a higher cut side, fuller pouch, and sculpted back. The fabric clings but never sags! Which is a great thing in underwear

The Adonis line is made of a spandex/cotton/modal blend. Meaning it will A. Feel Amazing. B. Fit very well and C. Just be awesome! The next awesome thing is the colors. It comes in Tanzanite Purple, Budelli Pink, and Azure Blue. Tanzanite is a rare gemstone made of an amazing purple.  Budelli is named for the pink beach in Italy where the sand is more valuable than gold. Lastly, is Azure blue, which is known as the color of the sky on it’s purest day. The colors are absolutely amazing.

Sizing in Slick It Up doesn’t come in larger sizes. Keep that in mind when ordering. The size chart is as follows.

  • Small – 28-30
  • Medium – 30-32
  • Large – 32-34
  • X-Large – 34-36

The pairs are available individually or in a three pack. It’s kind of cool these are “classic” pairs but they also put in the classic three pack. I”m sure it’s not coming bundled as one but still a great idea. If you want a pair of Slick It Up, get these now!

COLORS: Tanzanite Purple, Budelli Pink, and Azure Blue
FABRIC: spandex/cotton/modal blend
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $24.00 a pair, $60.00 for three pack.

Denim for underwear? It doesn’t sound like it would be the most pleasant underwear, but Stud has created a denim that is awesome for underwear. Since we first met them at Curve in 2011, the denim has been a staple in their line up. One of the new pairs that I really love is the STUD Stryker Denim Jock.

Jocks now are fashion undies instead of athletic gear. You can wear them on dates, to work or just every day wear now! The Stryker jock is made of a spandex denim that isn’t as stiff or unforgiving as the same denim as your jeans. The design has a peekaboo top that shows just a little skin. Top that with snaps around the pouch that are functional.

There is something interesting on the leg straps. They say “WEAR IT PROUD.” You can view these several ways. The first is be gay and be proud. The next is showing your love of amazing underwear! Plus this makes it so that the straps are made to be seen. I know we have a few guys who would totally wear this to the gym.

If you like the look of denim, STUD has a whole series of denim underwear. From briefs to jocks. They have made it one of their signature styles.

PAIR: STUD Stryker Denim Jock
COLORS: Denim
FABRIC: 100% Cotton
SIZES: Small – large
COST: A$33.00

Clever Moda always has a mix of underwear. It ranges from classic to sexy! The underwear we are going to share today is the sexy undies! There are three new pairs they have released the sexy line. They are Epoch Classic Brief, Centenary Matrix Brief and the Manhattan Matrix Brief.

Clever is known for its mesh undies. The Epoch Classic brief is a mix of a classic brief cut with mesh. The front pouch has what appears to be a semi-mesh pouch and sides and back is all mesh. Allowing you to be sexy without showing it off. The brief has a bigger, classic cut. The waistband and leg openings just scream “Classic”, which is a good thing. Available in classic colors Black and White.

If you’re looking for 100% mesh, the Centenary Matrix Brief is just for youThis smaller cut brief has the Clever waistband you are familiar with, the white has the blue waistband and the black has the red. The high cut sides will allow you to wear during active times or just hanging at home. Note the pair does have a center seam on the pouch. I know some readers don’t care for the seam. It’s just in white and black.

The last pair is the Manhattan Matrix Brief. Let’s say you want mesh underwear but don’t want to show off all the goods. This pair has a mesh fabric that isn’t as see-through as the other two. Basically, you can have the advantages of the mesh without showing off all the goods. The colors are gold and green. They are not super bright tones of either color but still very nice, top it with the waistband and you have a winner.

There are a lot more pairs available from Clever, over the next two weeks we will bring you more of them! You can find all three pairs at Candyman Fashion.

Swimwear season is right around the corner. One brand that never lets down during swimwear season is 2EROS. They are celebrating their 10th year this year. The V10 is a classic style of 2EROS. They have some awesome new prints coming out this year. This is what 2EROS says about the new style.

Nautical Print
A timeless piece that is easy to wear with sleek lines and bold colours working in harmony to accentuate your hips. So raise your anchor and sail off confidently into summer.

It features the iconic 2EROS V10 fit, quick-dry fabric to keep you dry and comfortable, internal front mesh lining for extra support, 4 way stretch and lightweight fabric for maximum mobility.

There is some more great swimwear coming out this year from 2EROS. We will bring you some more very soon! The Nautical Print is not out until March 7th. Stay tuned for more

It’s been a new year it’s time to get new underwear to work out in. If you made it past your New Years Resolution to work out and you’re still at it, congrats! You deserve to treat yourself. One great thing to treat yourself with is the Timoteo Areo Tech underwear line. It’s designed for working out and being active.

The Areo Tech line is made out of cooling mesh mixed with compression technology. Meaning you can have a serious workout and still stay cool. This could be at the gym, running, cross fit or anything else you can think of doing. You will also look amazing while doing it.

The line comes in a brief, jock brief, jock, legging and short. All of these are perfect to work out in. These are leggings that you could wear by themselves to the gym. I am seeing more and more guys wear what was once considered an undergarment as their work out gear. The same could be said for the short.

Work out in style with the three colors, Army, Blue or Red. Mix that with the color block design. Timoteo has done a great job with the new Areo Tech line! Like I said you need to check out this line for working out!

Ok, this one I personally messed up. I posted the 2017 inductees into our Drawer of Fame. The server issues and have two lists of the winners. One with last years and one with this years! DOH! So these are our brands/retail sites we are inducing

GREGG HOMME

Where to begin with this amazing brand. They were founded in 1987 and have changed the world of underwear since. I have long said that Gregg Homme makes sexy underwear that is meant to wear. No matter what you do in their undies, you can almost guarantee you will be super comfy. Other fetish brands are made to be taken off after a few hours.

Their design philosophy is making the most comfortable, sexy underwear on the market. Well, that’s my take on them. One area they excel is fabric. They source some of the most amazing fabrics in men’s underwear. They have become a leader in fabric. They try new things such as laser cutting, long before other brands. GH is a true innovator in the area.

This is their description:

Positioned right between lust and fantasy, GREGG HOMME puts to use the latest technologies and pioneering material to create the extraordinary and fashionable styles from classics such as string underwear and briefs underwear to outrageous fetish wear. Specifically designed with men’s comfort in mind, GH relentlessly pushes the limits of balance between functionality, modernization and fashion. With GREGG HOMME comes a design anatomically shaped for the male body: all fits are specifically engineered for the utmost pleasure of not only the wearer but also the people around.

We think the qualities mentioned above make them a perfect entry into our Drawer of Fame!

DEAD GOOD UNDIES

Dead Good Undies is a retailer most readers should know on UNB. They do a weekly column “What’s Hot in the UK.” We have done this I think 2009. They profile some amazing underwear and gear each month. Launching in 2007, just one year older than UNB! They have been a staple on the internet and stood the test when other stores have come and gone.

The world of retail is not easy! Adam and Jane at Deadgoodundies.com have created a store that is known for amazing brands and styles. They always seem to be looking forward to what’s next. There have been many times over the last 10 years of UNB, that they have exposed me to new brands. Those brands include ManStore, Olaf Benz, Bruno Banani and more. They have a very different take on underwear from the US Centric one we have at UNB.

Founded in 2007, Deadgoodundies.com is a specialist men’s underwear and swimwear website dedicated to the best designer fashion brands from around the world. Launched by website and undies expert Adam Davies and fashion journalist Jane Garner, DGU has gained a reputation not just for having a top notch selection of men’s underwear styles – but also swift deliveries, excellent customer service and a willingness to make sure customers get the briefs, boxer briefs, slips, strings, thongs or trunks they want, when they want.

We look forward to working with DGU for many years to come!

Joe Snyder

When you think of thongs, one brand is synonymous with them, that brand is Joe Snyder. It has long had a loyal following in the world of men’s underwear. Their skimpy styles and bright colors are two things that really set this brand apart. They were also, I think, one of the first brands I noticed selling lace in the world of men’s underwear.

While Joe Snyder has never been one for creating massive lines, they focus on what they do the best. Bikinis and thongs! This includes just about every color in the rainbow. Where they lack in styles they more than makeup in the color department. Recent releases include the Pride Frame and Sock It collections build on the heritage of the brand!

If you get time go to the Joe Snyder site and read their “about” section. They have a very interesting story. Relaunching in 1991, they had a hard time reestablishing the brand, but they succeded and have become one of the top brands of thongs and bikinis in the world.

This year the weather has been insane. One minute it’s super cold the next unseasonably hot. Well, that has been the case in the ATL. Currently, we have almost 70-degree temps to be followed by 40-degree one’s next week. It makes me wonder how many of you guys change with the season? I know we have readers who are strictly thongs, bikinis or insert style. No matter what the temp is they are rocking their favorite.

Take me for instance. I don’t do seasonality. Usually, I’m a briefs guy. However, when it gets cold (below freezing), I will pick my underwear for the weather. It’s not uncommon to grab a pair of trunks or boxer briefs. I just want the extra bit of fabric for the warmth. The boxer briefs or trunks have great pouches. They feature Ergowear, Unico, Cocksox and such. Even when I go against the grain of my favorite pair I must have a pouch.

It’s got me curious how many of you guys wear something on cold days. It could be either for really cold days or during the winter (especially if you’re up north or in a really cold environment. And do you do the reverse in the warm months? I have worn long boxer briefs in summer and it was miserable.

I hope you will post in our poll below and we will post the results. We have gone back to Google Forms from our previous polling service. Their changes have increased issues with polls and tabulating them.

It’s Tuesday, that means it’s time to get some great deals on undies. It’s Baskit $12 Tuesday! This week’s pair is the Billy Boy Brief. You may be asking what’s so great about the Billy Boy Brief? The Billy Boy has a condom pocket. Baskit teamed up with the German Condom maker to make sure you were always prepared. This pair wasn’t the first from Baskit to feature a condom pocket! The line has three styles but the one on sale today is the Brief. Go shop and get some great deals.

When you think of prints one of the lines that should come to mind is JOR. JOR has some of the most amazing prints on the planet. They always create a full range of prints. It’s not just one pair, it’s across the line such as briefs, boxer briefs, trunks, tanks and more. They really give it a lot of thought. Each collection boasts about 5-6 new print lines a year.

One of the newest lines in the collection is the Miami collection. I personally love tropical prints in underwear. Its something that is not expected, with swimwear it’s a given but not in underwear. There is something about having a super fun tropical print underwear your pants at work. It makes me happy. But that’s just me!

The Miami print is flamingos. Maybe you didn’t hear me, they are FLAMINGOS. Right now I’m obsessed with everything Flamingo. I have a file holder on my desk painted in “Flamingo Feather.” This print is a green leaf print with flamingos! I love it. Mix that with the gold waistband and it’s a winner in my book.

I wish this line had a jock and thong included. A thong of this would rock. I think many thong fans would like to rock the flamingo too. Not to mention, imagine seeing a guy change at the gym wearing the Flamingo Jock! Would you wear this print to the gym? I’m starting back and may have to get one to try out and wear just to see what the reaction would be.

This is just one of the many new awesome prints. We plant to bring you a lot more on the collection. JOR has some great solids and other styles. Maybe one we will profile this coming Thursday. HINT HINT. I think you will definitely like the collection. Shop it at the JOR site.

 

 

Neoprene is a fabric that is in men’s underwear and swimwear a lot lately. The really cool thing is, it’s not necessarily fetish wear. There have been swim briefs, underwear and more. There is something about these pairs that are super fun! The shape of the pouch, the way it fits in the back, it just flatters a guy.

One of the new pairs is the Neoprene Bulge Tanga. Tanga is basically a string bikini with a waistband. There are no sides to the pair. You can check out more underwear 101 posts to find out more. As the name suggests it’s about the bulge! As I stated above neoprene just gives you an amazing bulge. It enhances what you have and pushes it out for the world to see. Which is not a bad thing at times. BodyAware says this about the pouch, “the shaped pouch and special seams on this alluring brief gives the wearer the appearance of bulging asset.”

This is a pair I want to try along with the Neoprene Bulge Brief they make. The brief can double as swimwear so I would assume this would too. The only thing I wonder is wearing this all day. Neoprene is not a breathable fabric. Maybe not wear in the middle of summer. But would you wear it to work? This is a pair I would wear selectively. For sure it would be a date night pair. I mean drop the pants for neoprene! Heck yeah!

If you’re in the market for some super fun undies. I think we have a winner right here. BodyAware makes some amazing and sexy undies! Step outside your box and try something new. Neoprene, Lace, Satin, Mesh…Just go for it!

COLORS: Black
FABRIC: 100% polychloroprene
SIZES: Small – XX-Large
COST: $24.95

Congrats to all the Winners

The drawer of Fame winners was mistakenly pulled from last years list. Both Go Softwear and Jockstrap Central were 2017 Inductees. In my hurry to fix the server issue I pulled the decision from last years list. The correct ones will be announced on Wednesday. Stay tuned

Mesh underwear is a favorite of many of you guys out there. Mix that with the pouch of Cocksox and we have some pretty amazing undies. This past week in Vegas I got a chance to check out the new Shredded collection from Cocksox. This is one of many things coming from Cocksox in the next few months! These pairs will be out March 5th and in preorder.

So what’s so different with this mesh? It’s not your ordinary mesh. From the Cocksox website. “Featuring exclusive Italian ultra-soft mesh fabric right around the body – the most revealing mesh ever seen on Cocksox underwear – and the signature enhancing comfort of the Cocksox Original Pouch.” I got hands-on with this pair and the mesh is pretty amazing. It feels great and each pair has an abstract pattern in the mesh. No two pairs are alike!

These come in colors but it’s just the waistband and trim. The mesh is a black and will show off what you have, depending on the pattern, you may show off more or less. The styles the Shredded line comes in is CX01SD Brief, CX16SD Bikini, CX68SD Sports Trunk, and CX76SD Sports Brief. The colors are Eclipse (red) and Atomic (yellow).

As I stated above this line will be released on March 5th. This line takes Cocksox to the next level of sexy. It always amazes me what Cocksox comes up with men’s underwear. They mix colors, fabrics with their classic designs and always seem to make something amazing.

If you are interested in getting this pair you can order it directly from the Cocksox website.
