The Endowed Guys Guide – A Pouches Primer

1 Comment

It’s been a while since we discussed the needs of the endowed guy! Today, I thought I would discuss a few great pouches for guys who need extra room up front. Being a guy with a full package, sometimes underwear just doesn’t contain your package. This can be good and bad. Bad because it limits your choices in underwear.

Cocksox – CX01

This pouch from Cocksox, was one of the first pouches I ever fell in love with. It’s designed to really hold you well. It will also show off what you have! So I have to be careful where I wear them. It’s usually around the house, running errands or weekends. Sometimes it’s not great to wear to work. Some, this isn’t an issue because of your situation or you just like to show off. This pouch is for guys who want everything to stay in place!

Sukrew Joey Tartan Full Brief

Sukrew Brief

There are a ton of different colors and prints in the Sukrew line. They are one of the newest brands on the market. However, they are making underwear like pros. It’s really hard to believe they have only been at it a few years. Their pouch lets you hang naturally. I don’t know how much design work went into this pouch but is amazing. It doesn’t show off under pants that much. Well, as much as I had noticed.  Really any of their styles (except the U design which has no pouch) are great. We given an honorable mention to the Sprints (longer boxer briefs).

N2N Bodywear N-Hance Pouch

Speaking of a brand that’s been around. N2N Bodywear has created the N-Hance Pouch. The good thing is this pouch is on many of the lines N2N produces. It’s designed in a way to give you amazing support and enhance as well. Unlike other pouches this is a bit looser. You will have some movement and freedom. The Studio Groove line is new of the most recent lines the N-hance pouch is featured.

These pouches run from Tight, Looser, and medium. It’s all a personal preference. I like all three types of pouches. It really depends on my mood. Cocksox holds it all in and great for being active. The Sukrew briefs are great for work. The N2N N-Hance are great for all the above and lounging at home!

We will bring you more soon in the endowed series.

Underwear Review – Sukrew Full Sprint Yellow & Black Jake

No Comments

file_000

Sukrew furnished the Sukrew Full Sprint Yellow & Black Jake  for review. I love what they do but this was the first long boxer I have reviewed.
Rating: 9.6/10

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

Pros: Great pouch design on a boxer brief, Great fabric, and amazing design

Cons: I wished the legs were tighter but that’s a minor thing, some guys may not like a long boxer brief cut.

UNB Tim recommendation: If you love this style then these are a must have. The material and design is one of the best on the market. They took time to design their pouch in a boxer brief. If you have some great quads this will show them off. I recommend these to anyone who’s not a boxer brief fan! They are a new favorite

I am not a big fan of boxer briefs. However, when I have liked them, they have been longer. Something about the super tight longer boxer briefs that I find awesome. They show off the legs and pretty much everything. Sukrew has made some amazing underwear over the years and when I saw these I needed to try them. Sukrew has a great pouch and I was curious to how these translate their design.

I wore these to work and errands. I really wanted to see how they performed. The Trunks I have don’t fit me in the back. I discovered that I wore them too low. Sliding these on, I was impressed. They fit was pretty great. Have you ever rubbed underwear after putting them on admiring the fit? I did just that. It took me a second to adjust the pouch. After I was situated. My mind forgot that I had on boxer briefs.

As the day went on I was amazed at the design. The legs weren’t as tight as I like, but they held their spot. If you have bigger thighs you will have them super tight. The pouch is designed for a boxer brief. Many times brands just translate their brief design to a boxer brief. It doesn’t work. Sukrew designed this right. The fabric felt great too. And the colors are fun. I was asked “Are you wearing super hero underwear” by a friend who saw it. I took it as a compliment.

Sukrew has had consistent sizing. Note, this is one the few times you may go down a size. Their medium is 33-35. If you are a 32, you are a small. It’s not traditional US sizing. Double check the size chart before you buy. This is important no matter what brand it is!

Jockstrap Wednesday – Pistol Pete Apollo Jock Brief

No Comments

und6083It’s Jockstrap Wednesday! We wanted to share a pair from a brand we haven’t profiled in a while. That brand is Pistol Pete. Their new Apollo Jock Brief is super fun and one of their newest pairs. Pistol Pete has their own unique style. When I saw this was being released, I knew it had to be a Jockstrap Wednesday post!

Why is this the perfect pair for Jockstrap Wednesday? It’s a mix of a brief, a jock and mesh fabric. Three things a lot of you guys really love. From the front the Apollo Jock Brief looks just like a brief. Almost a bikini cut. However, due to the waistband, some readers feel it’s not a true bikini. But that’s another post all together.

The back is really different from other jockbriefs. Most jockbriefs are a pair of briefs with the back cut out. Meaning that there is an inch or so of fabric around the legs. This pair has very thin leg straps similar to a jock than a brief. I really like this feature of this pair. It makes it super sexy. The mesh fabric around the top frames the assets very nicely! Good job Pistol Pete.

Speaking of mesh. The pair looks like solid fabric. The pouch is solid but the other fabric around the sides and back is a matching mesh. It’s not very apparent in the pictures. It’s translucent but won’t show off the goods. There are those who don’t want a mesh pouch. This pair would be perfect for those!

Lastly, the Apollo jockbrief is available in Charcoal, Red, Royal, or Black. This is a super fun jockbrief. You guys need to check it out!

BRAND: Pistol Pete
PAIR: Apollo Jockbrief
COLORS: Charcoal, red, royal or black
FABRIC: TBA
SIZES: Small – X-large
COST: $24.50

Brief Distraction featuring AAG Tyson Dayley

No Comments

10917Tyson Dayley is not your average AAG model. Tyson did not gain his online stardom from posing for AAG, instead, he created his own “insta-fame”. Through Instagram and other Social media channels, Tyson has been able to gain a following on Instagram of over 100k followers. He started as your typical “frat boy who lifts” and has transformed into a fitness icon and personality. That kind of following on any social media platform is sure to come with a few opportunities. Tyson used his Social media network to move into other ventures, such as modeling. From his online stardom, Tyson has been able to pick up multiple sponsors, and has traveled the world, shooting with the biggest photographers around the globe! On top of being a fitness personality, Tyson is also a Certified Personal Trainer as well as a WBFF Pro bodybuilder. This guy has done amazing things with his life already at such a young age. We are excited too see him blow up over the next few years!

Poll – Do you want to give or be given underwear this Holiday season

No Comments

underwearI’ve been working on a post about “Why we don’t give underwear as gifts” and have hit a bit of a writers blog. Everything I write I hate. It either doesn’t make sense or sounds wonky. So what do I do? I turn to our amazing readers for inspiration and thoughts. You guys never let me down.

Let’s start by asking a few questions. I have a few thoughts of my own but want to hear from you guys. If you put your name in the poll, I’ll give you a quote! Don’t worry you can use Pseudonym, we can change the names to protect the innocent.

Creativity in Underwear – Drake and Hutch

No Comments

model-shot-1

Drake & Hutch participated in our Creativity in Underwear. They are a great British Brand. Read what they have to say!

Our readers love fun underwear. What makes fun underwear for your brand?

I set up D&H because I wanted to create a Brand that showed real British character and our sense of humour. Initially we started with fun preppy prints in vibrant colours as a way to turn something as simple and every day into a talking point. Over time we have developed a more subtle approach including things like fun card inserts and cheeky messages on the underside of our garment labels. While we pride ourselves on the quality of clothing we make, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We have a great deal of fun designing each range and it’s important that this shows through to the customer in the final product.

Do you have a Philosophy about creating underwear? If so what is it?

Whenever you mention underpants to someone they smile/laugh. Our philosophy is based around this, we want to make great quality great fitting every ay essentials that make you smile when you put them on.

model-shot-3-w_logo

In one of your recent pairs/lines, what was the inspiration behind creating it? 

One of the first ranges we launched had preppy prints that were inspired by the prints you find on classic British made ties. Our own background is in British tailoring, so it was a way of having fun and demonstrating our heritage.

It took a few goes to get the colours right and our in-house design team took some very traditional prints and made them more modern without loosing the sense of tradition or fun.

If this is a pair you designed before the previous collection, how did it influence other pairs/lines going forward. If a new pair, is this pair/line going to influence more collections in the future.

We loved the fun preppy prints, but going forwards we are moving to a more simple colour pallet with key colours to create our new multi pack offering. Our details have become more subtle, but still demonstrate our sense of humor and the fun that we have designed the ranges.

Underwear Review – Cocksox CX21N Jockstrap

2 Comments

cx21n-emperor_red-1Cocksox furnished the CX21N Jock for review. This is my second jock I will be reviewing from Cocksox

Rating: 9/10 

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

Pros: Great pouch, amazing fabric, great design 

Cons: May not be the best for sports, some may not like the leg straps

UNB Tim recommendation: A good jock for everyday wear. You could wear for sports but it’s more of a fashion jock. The pouch is amazing great for guys who need the extra room in the front. I liked the leg straps, they are smaller than traditional jocks. 

 

I have said it before but I love Cocksox. Their underwear just fits me like a glove and feels amazing. The pouch is very high on my favorites list. So, when I get a chance to review new Cocksox, I am so excited to do so. I have a Cocksox Jock in my collection. It has bee one of my favorite jocks to wear. When I got this new one I was excited.

I knew I needed to put this through a test. The other jock I have fits great and I know what it can handle. This one I wore to work and a day I had to move some stuff. While I was doing my work and errands, the pair really felt amazing. The pouch doesn’t fit as great as the CXO1. This is due to the design, the leg straps don’t provide the same stability as the brief. However, it still has a great pouch, you can’t go wrong with a Cocksox pouch.

Two things that they do well with are construction and fabric. Over the last 10 year’s they have perfected the formula for amazing fitting underwear in the most awesome fabric. They get two thumbs way up! As for sizing, as long as you follow the sizing guide there should be no issues. Their sizing has been pretty standard over the last several years.

All in all, this is a great jock. It’s a great design with smaller leg straps than other jocks. This is a bonus for me but many may not like them. I would suggest for every day wear over sports. However, you could easily wear it to the gym.

BRAND: Cocksox
PAIR: CX21N Jock
COLORS: Emperor Red, Nightfall, Fervent Blue, Azure Blue and Purple Funk
FABRIC: 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra®
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $25.00

Where to buy: Cocksox CX21N Jock

Support UNB Either on going or one time!

No Comments

do-all-thingswith-loveYou may be asking, “Why do you ask for money to run the site?” Well, when I founded UNB I really focused on the user experience. I HATE, intrusive ads and sponsored content that isn’t labeled as such. We just recently launched sponsored posts, but they do not affect our views and reviews. We still speak about what we love in the world of men’s underwear.

There are really three ways you can help. The first is the ongoing donations through the UNB Patreon. You can donate as little as $1 a month. Which may not seem like a great amount of money. However, if only 10% of our readers donated we would have a good amount to do some big things on the site. You also, get to join our Patreon Slack and talk to our editor and other Patreons. We have some great conversations. I also give out underwear from the UNB Closet from time to time.

Next, is a one time donation. Which would currently go towards a new computer for UNB. Since, I had two computers die in a week, it’s not easy to do everything on a Chromebook and iPad. You can easily do that via PayPal.




Lastly, shop via our affiliate links. Affiliate programs give us a percentage of what you buy. The ones we currently have affiliate programs with are;

We will be adding more over the next year. This is a great way to donate and get some great undies.

If you like UNB and you want to see us do a lot more, support us! If you can’t afford to support sharing our content with others is awesome too!

Drive Some Color in Your Life with Gregg Homme

No Comments

1426-drive-orange

In the new Gregg Homme collection, the new Drive collection is probably my favorite. I think it’s because the bright and fun colors they used. Plus, I think all the styles, including the jammer, are super sexy as well. But, that’s my opinion. You guys will have to judge for yourself.

Gregg Homme calls Drive a sporty collection. I agree with this statement. The fabric is an “perforated Italian technical fabric which is highly breathable.” The Jammer, Boxer, Jock and thong have a mix of solid and mesh fabric. The brief and string are made just of the mesh fabric. The only one that looks semi-see through is the pouch.

Several of the pairs have a “fly.” As you can see with the boxer above, it looks more traditional. However, I don’t believe that is a functional fly. Even the thong has this fly front. It’s definitely a cool design element that GH did in the collection.

The Jammer is a new style with Gregg Homme. The longer boxer brief is coming into fashion. I’m not a big fan of boxer briefs but I love the longer ones. The Drive Jammer looks very hot with the mesh down the leg. If you have great legs it will look even better!

Also included in this collection is a tank. Certain GH collections include matching shirts. This is one of those. Made out of the same fabric as the underwear. You can get it to match your undies or you can mix and match the colors.

New BodyAware Cuddle Up Line

No Comments

cuddle-brief-red_1024x1024

There is one thing I love about underwear. It’s the ability to wear something fun. BodyAware is one of those companies that makes fun underwear. While, it may not be for everyone, it’s great to have options over the boring thighty whities. One of the newest lines for the Holidays is the Cuddle Up line. You may be asking what the heck is the cuddle up line?

It’s a line that features Polka Dots and Sock Monkeys. I admit, I am a big sock monkey fan. I have been since I was little. When I saw this line I freaked out. I hear you guys going “Seriously over sock monkeys?” Yeah, what can I say, I”m a dork. But, we all collect something, right?

The Cuddle up line comes in two different styles. A Boxer, which many of you may go, UGH, and a Brief. The brief is my favorite. It has the polka dot front and sock monkeys in the back. The phrase Business in the front and party in the back comes to mind. LOL yeah, I”m a bit punch.

I really respect BodyAware for doing new things. They aren’t afraid of fabrics, cuts, and prints. They just go all out and make it super fun. This is why they have really grown in popularity over the last few years. They are giving guys options they never had before.

Body Aware has started to create videos of each of their new products. Here is the Boxer video. Their model is amazing and has a lot of fun doing these

Now the Cuddle UP Briefs

If you love these as much as I do run don’t walk to your browser and go to BodyAware.com and shop! How can you really go wrong?

Your new basics by Modus Vivendi – Broaded line

No Comments

mv-broaded-line-instagram-cubes4A new line called Broaded has just been released by Modus Vivendi. The new line comprises men’s underwear in three distinctive styles as well as tank tops and t-shirts in three colours: blue, red and black. The underwear of this line comes in jockstraps, briefs and boxers all handcrafted from a high quality ribbed cotton based fabric. This is probably the most comfortable underwear you’ll ever wear! The fabric is extremely soft, the waistband is covered to avoid any discomfort and the pouch is contoured to offer space and support exactly where you need it. The tanktops and t-shirts feature broad elastic trims and curved hems. They are great for the gym but can also be worn as streetwear with your favourite jeans.

The campaign of Modus Vivendi’s Broaded line was photographed in France. Talented photographer Lionel Andre created some stunning images with models Jess Vill and Tony Model Fr in the olive tree fields near Aix-en-Provence. The campaign is sexy and masculine showcasing the new line at its best!

New Gregg Homme – Play Collection

No Comments

1431-playerWhen you think erotic underwear, Leather is a fabric that comes to mind. Gregg Homme also does leather underwear, but in only a way Gregg Homme can. So what does that mean? Take the finest leather and match it with the best mesh fabric and you have the new Play line.

The leather that Gregg Homme has been using is Italian lambskin stretch leather. This is super soft and feels great against the skin. I haven’t tried this yet but have felt it many times in Vegas. This is the perfect leather for some amazing underwear. If you have tried leather gear from others and felt it stiff and not really comfortable, try this line out. It may change your mind about underwear.

The Brief and Thong both have the leather pouch with the lace up front. They also have the mesh inserts. My favorite is the brief. I love how the leather is at the top and the bottom of the back is mesh. It’s sexy and fun. If you don’t want to brave the leather and just want the mesh. The string and tank are both made out of the mesh fabric. You can mix or match any of these in the collection as well.

There are only two colors in this collection. They are black and red. The color denotes the mesh color. The brief with the black leather and red mesh is super sexy and fun. Love how they placed the mesh inserts. I think many of you guys will too!

This is not an inexpensive line. Being leather it’s a higher price than most of the Gregg Homme line. This makes it great for the Holidays and potential gift for you or the guy in your life.

New Kickstarter for Sundies Underwear and Socks

No Comments

db769e327ae621348956440d32ae3643_original

Kickstarter has been a great thing for men’s underwear. There are many companies that have gotten their start or increased production due to the crowdfunding site. No longer to people have to go pitch to investors, now they can reach their customers direct and get them to invest. Men’s underwear is not an easy market to get funding in. One of the newest is Sundies.

Sundies is a company I have talked with for a while now. They will be selling undies and matching socks. I know we have many guys out there who a big sock fans. Now you will be able to wear matching! I really love this concept.

The styles they will be offering will be:

  • Flamingo
  • Pineapple
  • Watermelon

They say this about their underwear:

Our underwear is made using a combination of cotton and elastane, giving them a snug and flexible fit. The cotton provides a comfortable and soft layer while the elastane provides the underwear with stretchability. This perfect combination of premium materials makes them comfortable for any situation, whether you’re traveling, running or simply relaxing at home.

The Kickstarter starts at $1 and goes all the way up to $2,000. You may be asking what $2,000 gets you. You get 50 pairs of each of the socks and underwear. That’s 150 pairs of undies and 150 pairs of socks. Your underwear drawer will run over with all the new gear! Don’t worry there are a lot more levels.

If you are interested in helping this brand get off the ground. And you love socks with matching undies. This is a brand you will want to back! Head over to the Sundies Kickstarter page to find out more information.
