One brand I really miss meeting with is N2N Bodywear. They used to have a suite in the Mandalay bay and I would go see all the new gear for the year. This is from February 2013. They are such a great company and some of my fav peeps to hang with in Vegas.

In August of 2012 at Curve we met with Jam. They were a part of Rounderbum. This was part of Curve. This was also the trip I didn’t realize that the show started a day earlier than I thought. So I had to fly out at 6 AM and go straight to the show from the Airport.

What are you guys wearing for Valentine’s Day? This was a fun poll to run. Sorry about some of the issues with the poll. Our poll provider TypeForm updated it’s interface and changed so many things. Including not taking out blank spaces and putting in Option #. But enough of the meta.
Let’s go through what you guys are going to wear!
I love you guys. 21% said they always wear sexy undies regardless of holidays. But 48% of you guys are going to wear something special for Valentine’s Day.
Well, it’s no surprise that more than half of you guys are going to wear a thong or bikini. Thong taking the top spot surprised me. I was expecting a bikini or brief to take that spot.
Most of you guys are going to wear a spandex pair or mesh. But there is a good portion of you in others picking bamboo or cotton. Two materials I didn’t think of including. But when I think about all the great pairs made in them. I should have!
Where you guys wearing them. Most are going to spend it at home but a few of you are going out on the town.
The most of you guys are married but you single guys are representing! It proves that you wear undies regardless of if you’re single or married.
Some of the brands you guys will be wearing are:
This is the part that shows you guys are your own man. However, I felt we would have some guys letting their partner pick out a pair. But alas, no one did!
We hope you enjoy these results and have an awesome Valentine’s Day. I will be spending it in Vegas, which there could be worse places to spend it.
It’s Magic/Project week and I love sharing previous pics from the shows. This is from February 2011. The first time we saw Marko Lebeau with Good Boy Gone Bad
One brand that I used to recommend for all boxer brief lovers is Xtremen. They have had the boxer brief as their staple pair. That was until this release. I got notified that Xtremen has a new collection out. When opening the email, I realize that the briefs are back. Yeah, there are a few boxer briefs, but the majority of the pairs are briefs. I’m not talking classic but some super sexy. This brand got a big make over from conservative to fun.
Here are the new pairs
aussieBum has some amazing sales! This one is the end of season sale and get up to 50% off! Go shop now while supplies last!
Who doesn’t love amazing prints in swimwear. BANG! Clothes has the new SAFARI Swim Mini-Brief for this year. Make sure you check it out.
PetitQ last year put out, I think, 8 different collections. Each one built on the previous collection. We start off 2018 with a new collection. I wanted to focus on some of the lace pairs in this collection. PetitQ has always embraced lace in men’s underwear. This collection continues the Lace tradition.
Boxer Briefs Ereac – Some pairs have a little lace but this boxer brief is made from stretch material. The is lace and is semitransparent and a stretch material.Colors available in black or white.
Thongs Ornex – This is, mark my words, going to be one of the more popular pairs in the collection. This lace thong is super sexy and has a fun design. The lace pouch is semitransparent with the lace material. The two straps on the side give it a bit of a fem look that is so popular in men’s underwear. Colors available in black and green.
Harness Taranis – Harnesses are becoming very popular. I have seen more this past year than any year previous. They are starting to come in all shapes and materials. Lace is a new material that mixes with the masculine garment. PetitQ has created this pair to go with either pair above. The picture features the boxer brief. However, I could see this with the thong.
All pairs are made out of a Polyester/Spandex blend. Making them very form fitting. Lace has become a mainstay in the world of men’s underwear. The old rules of men’s underwear are out the window and brands like PetitQ are writing their own rules. PetitQ is really having fun and creating awesome undies for underwear lovers across the world.
If you love these make sure you go to the PetitQ site and check out the entire collection. We will bring you more about this line shortly! But enjoy these awesome lace pairs.
One thing I never thought I would see is an underwear brand on Shark Tank. If you’re not familiar with the show. It airs on ABC on Sunday nights. The premise is entrepreneurs go on and pitch their company for an investment by a shark. If a shark likes what they see they make an offer and the entrepreneur can accept or reject the offer.
RounderBum went on the show to get an investment on growing their brand. The sharks were impressed with the sales and numbers. But when it came down to it, only two sharks made offers. Robert and Mr. Wonderful both put in bids but Jonathan accepted Mr. Wonderful’s offer. You can watch the entire segment on the ABC website. I managed to miss this when first aired. I tuned in late and Rounderbum was first.
One thing that we know already is that the sharks were surprised by the underwear sales. I think so many people don’t take the world of men’s underwear seriously. If you read this blog, I’m just preaching to the choir. Regardless of sexual orientation, we want amazing underwear to wear every day. We buy what we love and wear it. Some of us are more vocal than others.
It will be interesting to see what this investment does for RounderBum. It brought men’s underwear to the general public. Which in itself is a good thing. I’m going to try to reach out to RounderBum to follow up with an interview this week. Stay tuned for updates and more!

Its time to break out the sexy undies. One company that makes sexy undies in amazing farics is Gregg Homme. Shop all they have for Valentine’s Day or just for a Tuesday
Do you remember the Valentine’s Guide we shot? WHEW this was a shoot that had a lot of underwear, a model who fell out at the last minute and a rush to get done! We hope you enjoy this look back.
They’re back! Jockstrap Central’s best selling jocks ever are not only back in the original two colors (orange and black) but they now have them in two new colors. Originally launched in 2010 but disappeared a year later due to a supply issue. It’s all been resolved and they’re back on our shelves.
PPU has brilliantly created one of the most stylish jockstraps ever by incorporating a couple of unique and awesome looking features:
Like all jockstraps, the PPU Jockstrap has elastic leg straps that join the waistband but where it really gets interesting: the leg straps continue traveling below and parallel to the waistband until they meet the pouch forming a sexy slit between the two. Both the duo-colored one inch wide leg straps and one-and-a-half inch wide waistband are made of a super-soft plushed elastic.
The mostly cotton pouch has a hint of spandex for stretch and shape retention with a striking contrasting piping around the outside.
Not only is this a stunning looking jockstraps, guys with more going on down there will particularly love the roomy pouch, the welcome contouring and stretchy fabric all designed to not crush those boys of yours. Need proof, look no further than our larger than life models Santos and Kaine!
Of course, next to the styling and fit, the next best feature is the incredible price! They’re only $14 each

Thongs are rising in popularity on the site. Not only with guys who have loved them but new guys are discovering them. It’s ranging across the sexual orientation spectrum. It has really surprised me that as many straight guys have taken to them. Look at UNB and you can see where that is true. The Thongged Ginger, Underwear Dude, and UNB Ryan all love them. I mean really love them!
It has me thinking that we need to do a lot more thong content! Those who aren’t thong fans don’t worry it won’t be all thongs all the time! But I”m thinking at least one to two times a week. One idea I have is to do a thong review every Thursday on Thong Thursday and the potential for you, our readers to pick one of the thongs we review. The best part is it could be from anywhere in the world.
If you guys want this content I have a few questions for you guys to answer.
[typeform_embed type=”embed” url=”https://unbblog.typeform.com/to/n39wlw”]
If the poll doesn’t load go directly to it https://unbblog.typeform.com/to/n39wlw There are some issues with the embeds from Typeform.
Thanks for taking the time to answer those questions. I have always put our reader experience first! I personally hate blogs and sites where it’s hard to find the content you want. Or, if you get deluged by ads and email sign ups. I F*ing hate that. By doing UNB the way I have made these decisions for reader enjoyment. It’s also a great way for me to share my passion.
I’ll let you guys know the results very soon! Shhh, I like doing Polls but I love sharing results with you guys.
Who is a fan of boxers? Looking around I don’t see many hands raised. However one great pair of boxers is the Utility Boxer from Baskit. It’s got some support and tight legs. Plus it’s perfect for a lazy day at home playing video games or chilling watching Netflix. It also is this weeks $12 Tuesday pair. Meaning it’s just $12 all day! What a deal! Shop the Baskit site for this pair and more.
Bruno Mens Wear is making some seriously sexy gear! I have seen them promoting this one on Instagram and I can see why. A leather-like jock, what’s not to like! This is the Jockstrap NA. If you dare to wear, wear it with pride.
