PUMP! has released a new collection. This new line is very classic yet sporty. The mix is what PUMP Has been known for over the years. The new pair we are focusing on is the Ribbed Brief. A brief designed to be worn for every day and to the gym! It’s a simple design that is not made out of simple fabric.

The design of the brief has a sports mesh pouch. Making it ideal for any active situation. It could definitely be a pair for the gym. The rest of the body of the brief is a ribbed fabric in either black or white. The colors are Navy and White, Red and White or Military Green and Black Piping and Stitching. Top that off with the PUMP waistband, with the PUMP! name front and center.

This is what PUMP! Says about the brief:

PUMP! Ribbed Navy Brief is a sleek wardrobe staple that is crafted from comfort ribbed fabric. Its dark Navy mesh pouch is heightened by the contrasting white ribbed body, which gives this brief an effortlessly cool and classic look. PUMP! Ribbed Red Brief is fully supportive with a flattering contoured fit that sculpts to the body for easy comfort and movement. Its white ribbed body is accentuated by a bold, contrast mesh cup that breathes easy against the skin. PUMP! Ribbed Military Brief is a low cut brief built with soft-to-touch organic ribbed material that is both flexible and breathable. Its shape-enhancing silhouette and second skin fit makes this underwear a true knockout.

One last thing is the sizing. XL goes up to size 36 waist. So double check your size before buying. It’s not traditional sizing of the underwear that we are used too
COLORS: Navy and White, Red and White or Military Green and Black Piping and Stitching
FABRIC: TBD
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $29.00

Rounderbum is a company that does some interesting things on enhancing underwear. They have the traditional pairs you would think of when you think of enhancing gear. Then there is the new Spacelight line, which takes enhancing underwear and turns it up on the design scale! I first time I saw this was on Ty Alexander in an Instagram Story of him in the Sauna.

The pair is called the Spacelight Holster Jock but its more of a brief with two cutouts. One thing that you may notice is the wider than normal leg straps. These straps “hug your thighs in an extremely supportive and enticing way. PROTECT your weapons, FIGHT gravity and RISE UP to any occasion with the support of an instant butt lift!” The Lift Tech that is in this is supposed to enhance the junk in your trunk. Mix that with a mesh back and it’s super sexy!

This new collection is a lot different than things they have done before. It’s really awesome to see brands try something new. I also, think this fits the RounderBum brand. If you’re going to make enhancing underwear make it stylish and fun. One of the best things about this pair is it uses no padding! This is an enhancement just with what you have!

The Holster jock comes in two different colors. They are grey and black. Both colors have the same blue leg straps and black waistbands. Which really make this pair POP with the color. My personal favorite is the black the blue stands out better for me. But you can’t go wrong with their pair. Made out of a 90% Nylon 10% Elastane blend. You can get these out of this world pairs from the RounderBum site for just $20!

COLORS: Grey or Black
FABRIC: 90% Nylon 10% Elastane
SIZES: Small – Large
COST: $20.00

If you are a jock fan, there is a new jock on the market we want to you to know about. It’s the Teamm8 Base Jock. The Base Jock from the front looks like a brief but has a jock back. It’s not quite a jock brief. The best thing about the new jock is all the colors. Teamm8 is known for their great palate of colors they make their undies in!

This is what they say about the jock:

The JOCK is back and it’s better than ever! Remaining true to the sporty aesthetic of the classic jock-strap design, the all new BASE JOCK ticks all the boxes. Vibrant colour combinations that pack a real punch – Black, Watermelon and Gunmetal in a super soft feel microfibre set off by a premium metallic waistband. Get sporty, get active, get the BASE!

The features of the pair are:

  • Like all jocks it has to have a great pouch! The front pouch has enough room and support for no matter what you will be doing.
  • The cut of the pair is a low rise cut. It won’t ride up too high on your hips.
  • The fabric will give it a form-fitting stretch that will feel awesome.
  • One last feature is it’s quick dry. Making this pair perfect for working out or being active.

I just love the colors! It’s great to see some bright colors coming back to the world of men’s underwear. Teamm8 takes risks in the area of color. Would I rock the Watermelon one at the gym, Hell yeah I would. I think it’s time we shake up the locker room and get rid of the classic cuts and colors and wear what we want.

COLORS: Black, Watermelon, and Gunmetal
FABRIC: TBA
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $29.00 AUD

The Almost Naked Mesh Air Brief was purchased for review. No sponsorship was given for this pair. All opinions about the pair are my own.

Rating: 6.8/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 5/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 7/10
  • Styling: 8/10
  • Daily Performance: 5/10

Pros:

  • Has my favorite pouch, the Almost Naked Pouch
  • Super sexy mesh design/style
  • Has a sporty feel and not totally a sexual/erotic design.

Cons:

  • The tag is one that drove me crazy. Was scratchy all day
  • Some guys May not like mesh underwear

 

UNB Tim recommendation: This pair I was expecting the regular AC review. However, the tag on the back made this annoying to wear. The good things were overshadowed by the tag. There is nothing more annoying. I am going to try to cut out the tag and hope that fixes the problem. Let me know if you have this pair and didn’t have the issue with the tag. 


I picked the strangest week to review a pair of mesh underwear. It’s been one of the coldest in Atlanta in years. After wearing my jock brief the other day I was hoping I wouldn’t have a constant draft. This is the 4th pair of the five I bought for my own holiday present.

The first thing I noticed was the tag on the back. It has to be one of the most annoying tags I have worn in a long time. Usually Andrew Christian is great about tags, moving more towards tagless pairs. After about an hour I had to turn the waistband down and fold it over the tag. This did the trick but you shouldn’t have to turn it down to wear a pair of underwear.

That was the biggest issue I had with the pair. I loved the mesh that was used to create the pair. It wasn’t 100% see through but gave a brief glimpse of the goods. The fabric is 90% POLYAMIDE 10% SPANDEX fabric blend. I have one issue with mesh undies. It’s not just this pair but several I have tried over the years. My junk kinda rubs the wrong way in the mesh. I just had to readjust and it was fine.

The sizing was as I had hoped. Unlike the Suck It Brief, this felt great from the time I slid it on till when I took it off (the exception is the tag in the back). Top that off with the Almost Naked Pouch makes this a solid pair. Just double check out the size chart when buying underwear

I was super excited about this pair. Had the tag not been so itchy and scratchy it would have gotten a much higher score in daily wear. I am going to look at cutting the label out. With it removed I would definitely wear it in the warmer months. It would be perfect under shorts on a hot day.

It’s a new year and time for some new gear. One new piece of gear you may want to get before heading off to Mid-Atlantic Leather (MAL) in Washington, D.C.  The Smuggler Jock is a new pair from Cellblock 13. It’s a hybrid, but not like a jock brief. It’s a hybrid of a fanny pack and a jock. You may be going “WTF?” But, it’s really an interesting design. The new design has the function in mind.

Why is this a good idea? Well, if you’re not involved with the leather community, it will definitely seem odd. Going to leather events such as MAL, IML or Folsom, guys will walk around in a little bit of leather as the law allows. It’s not uncommon to see guys in just boots and jocks. There is an issue on where do you keep your ID, phone, and money? Sure you could use your boot or stuff it in the pouch or waistband. If you’re like me, my luck all of it would fall out.

The jock itself is a Black Textured Neoprene Rubber with top fetish colors as an accent (blue, red, yellow, or white). The waistband2″ wide for a secure & snug fit matching the color on the pouch. Fully functional zipper pockets to keep your stuff safe & in place and also a large inside pocket for your valuables.

I think this is an awesome idea for the leather events. Will it get wide use, that I do not know, I’m not deeply involved in the leather community. But if I were going to an event I would definitely try this pair out. It makes sense to me. If you’re interested in the pair it retails for $59.00. Which may save you in the long run!

COLORS: blue, red, yellow, and white
FABRIC: Textured Neoprene Rubber
SIZES: Small – XL (note that XL goes up to 35/36 waist)
COST: $56.00

ADDICTED has released the newest ADDICTED 2018 Swimwear Collection. Called “Splash” for its fresh, colorful and jovial character, “Splash” is synonymous with summer, laughter, fun… Definitely a collection to enjoy during the hottest season of the year.Splash is a very innovative collection, where we have once again used new fabrics & cuts, providing an exceptional fit. In combination with our new prints, this makes our swimwear collection an ideal one for this summer.

It’s been one of the coldest winters in a while, especially in Atlanta. When I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is have to go back out. It’s time to put on something warm and watch Netflix all night. One thing that is perfect for these nights is onesies. One of the super fun ones to wear in front of the fire is the Camo Onesie from N2N!

This style came out a few years ago and earlier this month we profiled the mesh onesie. Which I’m not sure will keep you warm wearing it along but it will keep you warm if you wear it with someone! The camo onesie I can picture a weekend in the mountains drinking hot chocolate.

You may be asking how comfy this pair would be? The mesh one you can pair with a thong, jock or bikini. The onsie has a seamless pouch that will give you support. You can wear it to lounge around in or under jeans out and about. The fabric is an 80% cotton 20% spandex blend. It will stretch and move with you throughout the day.

Over this past weekend. Andrew the man behind the brand, posted pics of him in the Onesie taking down his Christmas decorations on his deck, giving his neighbors a show. These were posted on his Instagram account. Which was awesome! I mean you gotta stand behind your product.

If you want more camo, make sure you check out the Camo Classic Bikini or thong! It’s the same fabric in some smaller cuts. Which N2N is known for making! They make amazing bikinis! Wear them under or on their own. Just rock the camo anytime you want!

COLORS: Camo
FABRIC: 80% cotton 20% spandex
SIZES: X-Small – X-Large
COST: $60.00

The Almost Naked Suck It Brief is part of the pairs I bought around Xmas. These were not furnished for review and all opinions are my own about the review. 

Rating: 7.6/10 

  • Daily Fit: 7/10
  • Sizing: 5/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros: 

  • Awesome suck it print perfect for Valentines Day
  • Has the Almost Naked Pouch
  • Has a Wow Factor

Cons: 

  • Sizing was off from previous pairs
  • Some guys may not like the over the top print.

UNB Tim recommendation: A great pair for Valentine’s Day. The print is super fun. I had an issue with sizing, this ran smaller than previous pairs from AC. But overall a solid brief. 


It’s time for more Andrew Christian reviews. I reviewed the Cock Brief and Master Brief. One I definitely wanted to get is the Suck It Brief. Its named the Suck It because it has a sucker print. As in the candy, get your mind out of the gutter. After the Cock brief I was really looking forward to this pair. It has a similar material and hoped it fit as well as the cock brief.

These were put through the paces very similar to the Cock Brief review. I wore them to work and running around after work doing errands. That noted, when I slid these on they were a bit snugger than the Cock Brief. I thought “Maybe I got another size?” and looked at the tag and nope, it was an XL. Was it too tight? Not really but it didn’t fit as well as the other pairs. Which made me sad because I love this print. 

The fabric on this pair is a 90% Polyamide 10% Spandex blend. It feels awesome against the skin. It’s very slick and smooth. It’s perfect for working out. Now would you wear heart-shaped sucker print to the gym? Well, that’s something for you to decide. This pair also has the awesome Almost Naked pouch! It’s my all-time favorite pouch from Andrew Christian. It’s made to ergonomically support a guy!

As I said above this pair was a bit smaller than previous pairs. Most of my pairs of AC have always been pretty standard in sizing recently. So this one made me double take. I know I need to lose a few but I didn’t gain it overnight. Some have commented they had sizing issues before but most have been pretty standard for me. This the first time I have had a noticeable size difference between pairs.

I loved the print of this pair. It’s just a fun Valentine’s pair. Which you could wear out under your suit or jeans on the big night. Or you can rock it every day. The sizing was a bit of an issue for me. It wasn’t so tight I had to take them off in the middle of the day but it was noticeable throughout the day. If you like this take note it’s a Limited Edition pair!

Did you know we once had a podcast? You can go listen to the older episodes still on iTunes. We have talked about it internally for a few years but now I feel it’s time to really bring it back. We have some great guys and there are some things happening in the world of underwear that deserve talking.

The first episode we have planned is around thongs. This will be the first of many discussions we will have about thongs. This style has grown in popularity by both gay and straight guys. Bigger than I would have ever thought. We have a few guys you will know form brands/social media to talk with us.

Other plans we have are just roundtable of the UNB guys talking underwear. We will all bring a topic to the table for a discussion. It could be a news item we weigh in on. Something controversial we have a debate on. Yes, there are things to debate in the world of undies. And now that recap of Magic/Project during and right after the show.

We will even want real guys who read the blog to join in from time to time as well. One thing that I think is a strength about UNB is we listen to you guys and always ask your input on things. We love hearing back from you and some of you, when you disagree post comments, email us or talk to us on social. Which to me is awesome. We want to have some real guys on to share what the guy on the street has to say. We will post on the blog and social media for guys interested in joining.

What do you need to join a podcast? Now it’s easier than ever to join. The last time you needed a computer and headset. Now you need your cell phone (iOS or Android) and Skype. That’s it. We can record everything and put it out!

It’s time to give winter the middle finger and gear up in shorts. Sure you may not want to wear them out in this frigid cold but they’re perfect for taking on holiday, working out at the gym and our favorite – lounging around at home with the heat cranked up on bust with an inflatable palm tree and pretending it’s August. And to help you say fuck you to old man winter, we’ve got all our Jack Adams Air Mesh Gym Shorts and Track Shorts on sale for 15% off until Tuesday. (Actually, all our Jack Adams jockstraps are on sale as well).

In case you don’t know about our best selling mesh shorts, here’s the details:

Jack Adams Air Mesh Gym Shorts: Set to be your most favorite short… ever. And not just for the gym, you’ll love them as comfies while lounging around the house or even as a fun and exciting bold short to wear at the resort or on the beach. Of course the best feature in our opinon is the fact that they’re completely unlined so at the gym, wear them with your favorite jockstrap but anywhere else, be free and go commando. You’ll love the sensation of the air flowing through the micro-mesh tickling your boys plus they’re partially see-through so you’ll be visually tickling everyone else with the view. They’re also wide enough in the leg that you may even experience some upshorts exposure (by accident, of course!) Our model Caleb King demonstrates.

Jack Adams Air Mesh Track Shorts: While not (quite) as adventurous as the unlined Gym Shorts, the Track shorts are sexy simply because they’re short, and I mean really short. They’re a 1970’s retro style short short throwback with a super low rise of 8 inches and an inseam of only 3 inches and a side split up each leg for enhanced movement. Although lined, air will flow freely when you work up a sweat. And speaking of lining, in the case of the non-white versions, the white lining showing through the outer mesh has the added bonus of really defining your bulge. Whether it’s for unencumbered movement during track or any sport or simply to show off, Jack Adams Air Mesh Track Shorts will do the trick.

Both styles come in a multitude of bold color combinations. Shop Jockstrap Central
