Lifestyle brand WAPO (www.wapowear.com) made the latest photo-shoot during sunny morning in the city of Tel Aviv. Models, couple Adam and Galy, are wearing the customer’s favorite “Nautic Star”, “El Macho” and “Monochrome Stripe” swimwear
Yesterday was the 4th of July! However, you can still wear your red, white and blue way past the holiday. BaNG Clothes has a few new lines out. Head over to the BaNG Clothes site and go under prints to see them all.
Popular Aussie underwear brand 2wink Australia are spicing up their underwear range by adding a new design of briefs to its collection, entitled “BULGE”. The new range sparkle with the help of a metallic waistband with brand name 2wink embroidered in black.
Let’s face it, us guys like to think we have a decent looking bulge when wearing our underwear. The sex appeal in these new briefs is in the design which focuses around the front pouch. It protrudes everything within its grip maximizing the look whilst the cotton/spandex fabric provide the super comfy feel.
2wink added some dazzle by including a metallic waistband that sparkles when captured by light. Adding a sexy look is the small amount of material on the sides, leaving room to expose the thighs.
The Bulge title is well suited to the style of briefs, sex appeal is captured in every angle and certainly designed to attract attention. “We wanted a design for guys to look sexy and for them to show off their body,” says 2wink Australia co-owner Damian Greco.
Each brief retails for around $14.95 AUD (free worldwide shipping included), and are available exclusively online at www.2wink.com.au.
Wear your Stars and Stripes with pride this 4th of July. Wear the USA series from N2N Bodywear. This is the string bikini.
Model: Chandler

It’s Swimwear Sunday! And the Sunday before the 4th of July in the States. I figured we needed something fun and patriotic. Who makes super fun swimwear? N2N Bodywear of course! One of the new lines is the USA line. It’s a set of swim briefs in patriotic prints. A mix of stars and stripes!
We could have chosen a smaller pair but we wanted one more guys would wear so we settled on the USA Sport. Which is a full sized brief. The pair is also in a bikini, string bikini and trunk. For those who want to dare to bare the String Bikini is for you. If you want to go bigger then go with the Trunk.
We mentioned that this is a full sized brief. The sides are 2.5 inches, which is bigger than most swim briefs. It’s perfect for the guy who wants to sport a brief but not show off everything. This pair also has a full back. In swimwear, most guys prefer a full back as opposed to a 3/4 or 1/2 back. To me it’s just more comfortable. On top of that it has a draw string to ensure it stays in place and won’t fall off coming out of the water. Lastly, it’s made out of a 83% nylon 17% spandex blend.
This pair is unlined as well. I don’t think you will show off everything due to this feature. Some pairs are super thin and leaves little to the imagination. During our swim guide shoot this pair didn’t show off everything of Martin’s. But, lined or unlined, is up to to the wearer as to what they are comfrotable wearing.
If you love this pair you can find it on the N2N Bodywear site. It retails for $36 but is on sale for the 4th of July sale. Note by the time you read this it could be off sale. Make sure you go to the N2N Bodywear site to see the entire USA collection.
ES Collection closed the Barcelona Fashion Week with a catwalk presenting its SS 18 swimwear collection on Friday 30th June. The collection’s name is Tropik Glitch. The catalan brand proposes a collection that draws its inspiration from the exuberance of the Amazon Forest, full of life and colours. The explosion of the senses obtained by this collection is rendered by the intensity of the colours used. “Glitch” is a kind of « error » or visual blur that gives a digital appearance to the prints.The result of this new technique of artistic expression is a very modern vision of tropical prints.
Thanks to Studio Retail for sharing these pics with us!
2EROS released the new Erebus line. We wrote up the Erebus line last week. See our post and find out more about this line.
I”m running a bit behind on reporting the results. Coming down with Bronchitis for about two months made me not want to touch Excel to do the tabulations. There is still much more to do but here are the initial results. I hope you’re ready for an amazing slide show of graphs! Graphs are super exciting and sexy… NOT. But here is your peek in the other readers underwear drawers.
Most guys have 20-70 pairs in their collections. Which makes up about 50% of our readers. However, we have 21% who have 150 pairs or more. This number shows we have some underwear super fans!
How often do you guys buy underwear? The results are much of what I expected. It’s every few weeks to months almost ties every few months. Very few of you guys buy weekly.
How do you buy Underwear? Do you buy it on sale, at regular price? We are curious. Most of you buy a mix of on sale and at regular price. That’s the way I buy it. If it’s a pair or brand I really want or like. I will pay full price. Sales are important to you guys but not the only factor.
What is your favorite style to wear? This year we gave you a few options to choose from. Again the briefs and bikinis rank as the top two pairs. However, thongs have come up big this year and is a close third. If this keeps up they will overtake bikinis. Also, Jocks were high on the list. It surprised me it was so high.
What do you wear on a regular basis? This is what do you wear and what’s in your collection. It almost mirrors the one above. The boxer brief is higher in this than favorite styles. But Briefs still are the top style.
Do you wear more than one pair a day? 44% of you guys said you do. We will be talking more about this in a future post. We asked why you do or do not wear more than one pair a day.
Who Influences your buying decisions? I’m happy to see Underwear blogs. We try to expose you to new brands and styles. But Brands from emails and significant other rounds our the top 3. I’m a little surprised that reviews didn’t rank higher.
Has UNB influenced your buying decisions? This is something we have heard anecdotally but not directly from readers at large. It was great to see that 75% of you said we influence what you buy. We will go into more detail soon and hope to keep influencing you guys.
Where do you buy your underwear? We changed up this question this year. Instead of asking you on a scale we just wanted to know which you shop. Most of you shop online via an online store or brand site. They were by in large the two biggers. Also you guys like discount sites like Cheapundies. The department store number was higher than I remember. But you can get some good undies there.
Have you ever worn a swim brief? You guys really are taking the UNB Swim Brief Challenge. The number is going up. More of you say you wear them all the time. Also, more say you wear them at private pools. And coming in third were guys who want to wear them. We are going to continue this and share great swimwear with you.
What swimwear do you wear? Most of you wear trunks and shorts. While over 1/4 wear swim briefs. We are glad only 19% wear board shorts. We are accomplishing out goal. Also, more are wearing swim thongs.
What type of models do you want to see. Most want to see a mix of real, up and coming and professional odels. While a big group want to see real guys. We are working on that more and more. This has remained unchanged in the last few years.
What challenges do you face loving undies? This is changing more are reporting none. It seems slowly the world of men’s underewar is becoming something that is normal.
Lastly, what fetishwear do you guys like? Most like spandex and singlets, followed by leather and Lingerie or lace. We will cover these more this year. But we want to hear from you guys when we do!
Here are the overall results. We hope you enjoy this look at your fellow UNB’ers underwear drawer.
Before I get started with the post here is the info about this video:
At Broadway Bares 2017, a shirts-versus-skins lacrosse scrimmage heated up the stage when Anastasia‘s Kyle Brown coached a crew of sweaty, muscled men. Ericka Hunter and Katie Webber gave the game co-ed flair as they strutted and stripped their protective gear in the athletic number. “Scrimmage” was choreographed by Charlie Sutton.
Produced by and benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Broadway Bares: Strip U raised $1,568,114 in two performances on June 18, 2017 at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom. Broadway Bares: Strip U was directed by Nick Kenkel, who also created the Strip U concept.

By drawing upon the talents, resources, and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 BC/EFA has raised more than $285 million for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.
I have been following Broadway Bares for a few years. BB for short, is a show where broadway actors/dancers put on to raise money for AIDS/HIV charities. As the name suggests the stars get naked by the end. But before they do they usually strip down to a jock or thong.
The reason I like it is, the show is just fun. It’s sexy and it shows how underwear in a good light. It shows that thongs and jocks are sexy and should be worn. I think if we had more shows that do this we would have greater acceptance in underwear in general across the general public. This is just my opinion. And great job this year to Broadway Bares!
If you like the video go to the Broadway Bares YouTube channel to see more videos from this year or previous years.
JOR has more than just swim briefs. They have some swim shorts as well. For those times when a swim brief isn’t appropriate. This picture is from our Swimwear Guide. Featuring models Nate and Chandler, Photo by Taylor Campbell. Nate is wearing the Dandy Mini Short. Chandler is wearing the Bucanero Swim Brief.
Underwear and gear should be fun. One company that does fun really well is Slick It Up. They are for guys who embrace their fun and or fetish side. From underwear to body suits and everything in between. I have been a fan of theirs for years. They have some very creative items of gear. One that I really loved and thought you guys may like is the Sports Sling.
I call this a mix of a singlet and thong. But not just any singlet a super low cut singlet with a thong bottom. Their website says this pair is perfect for sport, well I’ll let you go to their site and read it for yourself. But I think you can guess what it is for. But, additionally, it says you can turn your vanilla sex into a workout. I could see how this would spice things up.
I am of the school that underwear and gear should at time spice up the bedroom. We don’t do over the top sexual posts on UNB just for shock value. But, we do want guys to feel super sexy in no matter what they wear. Show off for their partner of choice and have a great time. We will be touching on this a bit more over the next few weeks.
This pair just comes in blue with white stripes. As we noted above the back is a thong back. The white straps have inset stripes of mesh that gives a peek all the way up from the thong to your shoulders. There are serval ways you can wear this. As pictured with the visor and kneepads. Or I would suggest that you get the white OTC socks with the stripes at the top. Mix in some blue sneaks to match and you’re ready for your work out.
The Sport Sling isn’t cheap, it retails for $89 on the Slick It Up site. But the fun you can have may make up for the price.
We are super excited to announce that one of your favorite models for our UNB Guides is coming on to create some awesome video reviews. Martin, last seen in our swimwear guide, will be doing some of the most creative reviews we have ever done! The first brand getting the video reviews is Garçon Model. More to come soon!

Running an underwear blog I get asked my opinion all the time about underwear. This can be people on social media or friends. Most of the time they are asking about what they should start on or what briefs/thongs they should wear. Very few talk jocks to me. This got me thinking I should share one of my favorite jocks of all time.
The Cocksox CX21 Jockstrap is probably one of my favorite jocks of all time. The first reason is the amazing Cocksox pouch. The support it gives is amazing and yeah it shows off a little. Regardless of sexual orientation, we want our underwear to show off our manhood. Next is the design. It has a regular waistband with smaller leg straps. The bonus to me about the leg straps is that they don’t get as twisted throughout the day like the bigger ones can. There is nothing worse than a twisted leg strap on a jock throughout the day.
You may be asking if you can wear these to be active in. After all, jocks are made for working out and sports. My answer is yes you can wear this. It can be worn at the gym, playing sports or running. I have worn this to play softball at one time. I couldn’t find my UA jock and wore this one. It performed amazingly. In fact, I wore it a few time that year. It didn’t fit well with a cup. Yes, I tried it. Now if you wore compression shorts over it would work. But that was too damn bulky for me. I prefer just a jock when I played softball.
The very last thing is the fabric. It feels great against the skin and breathing. This is a fashion jock, not really designed for performance, but it did pretty well for me. I would recommend it to anyone needing a jock to wear for any occasion. It’s amazing to put it short
It appears they maybe refreshing the Jocks (or that’s my hope) you can get the Metalic jock, the CX21MT in gold/black or silver/white. The CX21N is on “Last chance.” But I give this a big thumbs up and a must for guys.
We are planning some great things here at UNB! To stay up to date you should join out email list. Other than content we like to give our email list a heads up on contests, guides and more! Plus we will announce some great things via this as well.
