BodyAware is no stranger to making super sexy and revealing undies. Fabrics such as satin, silk and mesh. Each pair is crafted to make the wearer feel as sexy as possible. More of you guys have been discovering BodyAware and loving their take on men’s underwear. They firmly believe underwear should be fun and make you feel amazing.
One of the newest is the Fierce Mesh Brief and Tank. It’s not the sheer mesh, but an industrial mesh. Industrial mesh looks like a fabric that has holes cut out in it. The holes are bigger than typical mesh. Sports mesh and others have smaller holes. Other brands have made undies out of this material. It’s surprisingly comfortable.
The Fierce line comes in Coral and Neon Pink. Both colors are perfect for this line. I think these type of mesh pairs are better in brighter colors, rather than traditional ones. The mix of the black solid fabric and waistband accents the pair very nicely.
The briefs have a great pouch. The material will stretch to fit any size guy. The pouch design is a low hanging pouch design. The back is a full back as well. You won’t have to worry about a slim or thong back. Although, I think this pair would look awesome as a thong!
Included in the line is the Fierce Tank. Made of the same mesh material as the brief. It’s the perfect matching pair for the briefs. Designed with athletic styling and black trim that matches the briefs. This could be worn out to a night of dancing or just hanging out at the beach.
BodyAware is making some really fun and sexy gear lately. Like a lot of you guys, we are loving what they are doing. We will have a lot more from them soon.
We got some awesome new images from Jack Adams and their new Fall/Winter line! This is from the shoot that photog Joan Crisol did for the line. We are going to have a lot more from the line very soon!
We love Max Emerson. Not because he looks amazing in underwear. Also, not because he’s funny and entertaining. But, he’s doing some great things out on the internet. If you tie in undies so be it, we stand behind that. His latest video is about his tour of NYC with CJ Koegel from the Real World on MTV about 10 years ago, but seems like 12 (watch the video).
Why do we love Max? First he shows a love of underpants! He’s done a lot in his underwear, both modeling and YouTube. He’s just funny. All his videos show his personality and can make you laugh. This one had hide and seek in the park, rides the subway and finds fans of CJ.
He also has his own line at Related Garments. Each pair sold $5 goes towards editing his movie, Hooked, and submitting it to film festivals. The movie, Hooked, if you haven’t heard is about raising awareness for LGBT youth homlessness. Which is a cause everyone who reads this blog can get behind.
Not only do you get the underwear but two pairs of matching sox. In the words of Max, you get “underpants and matching socks.” Max knows a bit about underwear for being an international underpants model. You may also remember that he did the video series “How to be an underpants super model.”
The underwear for one pair and two socks is $28. The colors are available are black and grey. Also, you can get a set of three for $59.
We love undies and why not buy a pair that gives something back to the world. To get these pairs go to the Related Garments site. And buy a pair of Max’s underpants! Then become the next great underpants supermodel of the world and be in one of Max’s videos!
It seems like only a few month I was having lunch with Eric Turner in Vegas. He was developing the Oryx brand of underwear. I have known Eric because he was a model at Magic back in the day. We decided to do a follow-up interview with Eric to talk about the last two years.
UNB: Thanks for Taking the Time to talk with use. What have you learned over the last two years doing Oryx? Any surprises?
Eric– The biggest surprise to me has been all the positive feedback we’ve gotten from people. When I’ve taken underwear to shoots, when the models put them on they’re usually very surprised at how comfortable the fabric is. They put them on and they always look really surprised. That’s the surprise to me, that as many different brands are on the market, that guys are still surprised to find quality underwear that’s comfortable.
UNB: Has the dream of creating the line lived up to your expectations?
Eric– Oh, absolutely. I mean, I wouldn’t mind selling the company for hundreds of millions of dollars by now. But I’ll 
settle with the modest growth and exposure we’ve received.
UNB: Who is Oryx designed for? What kind of guy?
Eric– Our ideal customer is a guy who feels just as comfortable wearing a tuxedo as he does exploring nature. He’s a guy that’s not worried about attaching labels to himself, but appreciates nice things. Someone who can have fun in a tuxedo, but still make jeans and a t-shirt look sophisticated. And obviously anyone who wants to make their junk comfortable. ha
UNB: Oryx has been a very classic collection of underwear. Have you thought about adding new styles, colors or prints?
Eric– I have many, many ideas of things we’ll do as we grow the brand. But all in time. Our brand motto is “Bold. Sophisticated. Style.” So as we design new styles, the idea is to keep that classic look and feel, in a bold and sophisticated package.
UNB: On that same note have you thought of doing a line of workout wear? You are one of the most amazing fitness models and it would seem to be a great fit.
Eric– Stay tuned. 😉
UNB: You occasionally show pictures of you and your Husband Morné in the underwear. We had a few guys ask why aren’t you the face of the brand?
Eric– I didn’t want the brand to be about me, exclusively. It’s Oryx, not the Eric Turner brand. I can obviously post pics in the brand all day, but i wanted guys to look at the brand and see many different people in it, so they could imagine 
themselves in it, not just associate the brand with me. And the brand is going to be associated with me no matter what, but I didn’t want the brand to be about me. It’s a high-quality underwear line, and I wanted that to be able to speak for itself.
UNB: If you could pick any famous person or sports start, who would you like to see model your underwear?
Eric– Henry Cavill. He’s handsome and intelligent. Our brand is so much more about how our models carry themselves than just what they look like. And he’s someone who carries himself in a way that makes him seem so much more refined than the typical hot/handsome guy. Either him or David Beckham for the same reason, but I thought he was too easy of an answer.
UNB: What is on the horizon for Oryx?
Eric – Oryx Athletic Wear. 😉

We know a lot of our readers have taken the jump to wearing thongs. It’s fast becoming one of the favorite styles of our readers. In our last reader survey, it was the second most popular style you guys wear. But have you ever thought of wearing a thong a swimwear? I predict over the next few years we will see more swim thongs for men.
One company on the forefront of this is CockpitUndies. They look like a mild-mannered underwear store. When you dig a little deeper by brand. You will see the Cockpit Swimwear. Which is a collection of all thongs. Not just any thong one of a kind thong. Well, not really one of a kind. Each print is made in different sizes. So there are only one in each size. The Title of each item shows the name of it along with the sizes its available in.
We got to talk to the man behind the company and he told us that Cockpit Swimwear is for guys of all shapes and sizes. He’s not making this just for the 28-32 waisted guys. He specifically wants guys on the large and XL end of the spectrum to try thongs. Like us at UNB, Cockpit wants to promote a positive body image of all guys wearing their swimwear. This something we can get behind!
Designing the thongs he told us that it’s designed to fit a guy. There will be no gaps in the pouch to unintentionally show things off. Also, the pouch is designed to give great support without being too enhancing. I know we have readers who like the “bullet” type of pouch. These are designed for guys of all pouch sizes and won’t show off or enhance.
They prefer prints over solid colors. Hence you will see the prints change up throughout the year. Yes, there are some solids but he said they prefer to not do as many solids. As with the current trend with underwear, we are seeing the prints 
come into the world of swimwear as well.
They don’t just make thongs, the swimwear comes in a thong, g-string and rio cut. All are revealing and fun. If you’re going to wear something, give something a bit smaller a try. I mean, we all like smaller cut underwear, why not carry this over to swimwear. I say give it a try guys.
Me being a bigger guy I asked the question about sizing. I was told that the XL can go up to guys with a 46-inch waist. The pairs are designed similar to a one size fits all design. A guy who wears XL or XXL can wear their XL without many issues.
It’s really amazing to see a brand of skimpy swimwear go after bigger guys. He makes swimwear for all. He wants all guys to know regardless of size that they should rock something fun, colorful and skimpy. Enjoy your day at the pool, beach or laying out. I have worn swim thongs in my much younger days when I was much thinner. After talking to Cockpit I may have to give these a try. The best thing is that the thongs are pretty reasonable. All pairs list for $25 at their site. Which, for swimwear is an amazing price.
Check out the awesome swim and tell them at CockpitUndies we sent you. Support a great company that is for all guys to feel sexy in what they wear!
We like taking you guys back to the early years of UNB. This is a Brief Distraction from Timoteo. This is a picture of swimwear from June 2010. We hope you enjoy!

Rating: Overall 9/10
Pros:
Cons:
UNB Tim’s Recommendation: It’s a great jock for running errands or a day at work. I am not sure I would wear it to the gym or active. I could see it under a suit or a night out. The fabric will be something I think most guys will love. This will be a pair I plan to wear often.
One of the pairs we received from Andrew Christian is the BLOW Gilded Jock. It is one I really wanted to try. I really liked the look of the jock and the fabric. The previous review of the FUKR Net Brief, I hoped it lived up to or even exceeded that review.
The jock didn’t disappoint. It was probably one of the most comfortable pairs I have tried from Andrew Christian. The pouch is made out of 95% Cotton 5% Spandex blend. It was super soft. It really felt awesome on. The pouch was supportive and not too tight. A lot of sports jocks can be super tight. This one let things fall naturally and comfortably.
I wore the BLOW Gilded Jock on a very hot day. In Atlanta, we were blessed with 90-degree weather in September. This was a great choice for the day. I wore it to a job where I was outside and in the car a lot. The jocks material and design kept me cool. I was really happy about that. One design element I really like is the strap design. It’s not a strap sewn onto the waistband. The design has a solid fabric sewn into the waistband. Then the leg straps attached. This kept the straps in place.
The sizing is pretty spot on. Again, I never had an issue with Andrew Christian sizing. They have had a consist ant sizing over the years. Just make sure you double check the size guide for the exact sizes. The XL I received fit pretty well.
Lastly, is the design. I really like the solid black with gold trim. The center seam is gold as well as the waistband BLOW writing. Black and Gold is a classic combination. It also comes in white and red.

Jocks are always popular. One of the recent additions to the Jock club is Alexander COBB®. They have been known for great underwear and swimwear. The new line is available in 5 different colors. Jocks are no longer just white and black. It’s expected that they come in bright and fun colors.
This is what Alexander COBB® says about the new collection of jocks:
Originally invented as an underwear for bike jockeys, jockstrap cut has become more and more popular those days. Alexander COBB® jockstrap combines sport function-based design with modern fashion trends. Great for athletes and for active men who choose to wear them as daily underwear. Great fit and bottom lift.
As a part of Alter Ego Collection 2016, jockstraps can be purchased online and in all brand’s sales points from Caribbean to Australia. Besides jockstrap called Libido (different jockstrap cut), made from the combination of red and black cotton, with black strips and black elastic band, we are introducing 5 other colors – Innocent in white, Shy in pink, Envy in green, Hot in red, and Sweet in orange. All jockstrap underwear is made from the excellent combination of cotton (92 percent) and elastin (8 percent) which holds well, and enables unhindered movement, so they feel like your second skin.
These are great additions to the Alexander COBB® line up. They retail for €19.90.

Over the last two years, the popularity of thongs has grown. It also shows no signs of slowing down. Across all guys (gay, straight or bi) seem to be wearing them for underwear. However, will this carry over to the world of swimwear? I’m not saying that every guy will be sporting a thong but the popularity will increase.
Swim thongs have been very popular among a small set of men. They are very passionate about the style and have had meet ups in Palm Springs and other areas. While it was mainly gay guys, the style is growing among all men. We are starting to see new thong swimwear from JOR and new company Cockpit Undies (More on them soon!).
Unlike swim briefs, thongs leave a bit less to the imagination. Your assets are on display for all to see. Some guys this is a benefit, while other see this as a deal breaker. I have worn them years ago but I don’t have much in the asset department. When I did wear them, they were a lot of fun to wear. I never wore them at a pool party or beach. It was pretty much at a private pool.
The benefits of a swim thong, yes there are benefits! Thongs have less material than swim briefs and shorts. It allows for a much greater freedom of movement. Many of you guys talk about how you hate shorts in water. They never dry and feel like you’re swimming with rocks. With a thong, you have neither of these issues. Also, you get a more all over tan. This is good if you hate tan lines. Lastly, it’s as bare as you can dare on many beaches.
Would I wear them now? Honestly, it’s a maybe. It would have to be in a thong friendly environment. It wouldn’t be a local pool or beach. It would have other men of all shapes and sizes wearing them. As more thongs come out for swimwear, we will let you guys know!
Would you wear a swim thong?

Fabric can make or break a pair of underwear. There is nothing worse than seeing a pair of underwear that looks amazing. Only to put it on and realize that it scratchy, confining and no give fabric. Fabric is one of the most important things in underwear to me. My favorite fabric for underwear is Modal.
Why Modal you ask?
It’s Super Soft
Modal is one of the softest fabrics I have ever worn. The first time I slid on a Modal pair of underwear was like the first time I slid on my first pair of bikinis. This is the fabric I have waited on for years. It felt amazing against my skin. One thing to know that it offers less support than other fabrics. If you are a fan of ergonomically designed pouches, It will not be made out of Modal.
Breathability and Moisture Control
Modal is a very breathable fabric. It is perfect for working out, running or being active. You won’t have underwear that feels like you went swimming. This is why I am not a fan of 100% cotton underwear. If you are active your underwear feels like you went swimming and never gets dry. Modal will allow everything to breathe and feel great.
Feels Great
Not only will it feel great against your skin. It will make you feel amazing. When you wear fabrics you love, you feel better throughout the day. We firmly believe that underwear brings you confidence. We don’t think you should wear something that doesn’t bring you comfort. Modal makes me feel amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone needing underwear to be active and feel great in!
Which Brands Use Modal?
Many brands now use Modal? One of my favorite lines was Cocksox Backstage, which is no longer made. Obviously is a company that is making great pouches out of the Modal. Tani is another brand using a good amount of Modal in their lines as well. Even new comers, such as Krakatoa, are depending on the fabric.
We hope you will try Modal if you haven’t, we will bring you more fabrics soon!

UNB Tim’s Recommendation:
If you want a super sexy and fun pair of underwear. The Andrew Christian FUKR Net Brief 90036 is it. The mesh fabric is one of the best I ever tried. It’s fun, sexy and amazingly comfortable. I recommend this pair for anyone wanting to try or who already love mesh underwear
We got a few pairs of new Andrew Christian to review. One pair I was very curious about was the FUKR Net Brief. I am a fan of mesh but it’s not all meshes. There are a few that make you feel like you are rubbing your manhood against a cheese grater. Ok, that was a little too over the top but it’s true. Some mesh fabrics were made to be taken off. I had a bit worried about this pair but I was going to give it a try.
I wore these on a weekend day where it was going to be around the house. Just in case things went down hill with these. The first thing I noticed was the pouch. Net underwear in the past really haven’t had great pouches. I slid them on and I was seriously impressed. The mesh didn’t feel like mesh. It felt more like a solid fabric. It never got annoying at all. To say I was impressed is an understatement. The fabric was pretty incredible. I could have worn these on a regular day. Where have these been in the HOT southern summer.
The pair is made out of the following fabric. The Light Cool Fabric Content: 57% Cotton 38% Polyester 5% Spandex and Soft Contrast Stretch Fabric Content: 93% Cotton 7% Spandex. This fabric really impressed me. I was not expecting it to be so comfortable throughout the day. It was a very wise choice of them to use.
The sizing of the pair was pretty much as guaranteed. I wore and XL and that is my normal size. It fit me just fine. Make sure you double check the size chart. I don’t recall anyone really complaining about AC and their sizing. You should be good picking
I really liked this pair. I will wear it much more and not just on date nights. The FUKR brief is perfect for hot and humid weather like Atlanta in 90+ degree heat. If you’re looking for something super sexy and fun, give this brief a look. I don’t think you will be disappointed

“The Portside Collection” is four uniquely and dynamically designed swimwear identities, each one inspired by a famous ship. Whether it’s the Santa Maria’s spirit of adventure found in its vibrant colorful curves, The Victoria’s worldly aesthetic found in diverse color blocking with an international flair, The Mayflower’s bold daring found in its striking color stripe that’s a guaranteed head-turner, or The Eclipse’s relaxed, fun enthusiasm found in the playful and flattering colorful patterns.
aussieBum is on a roll. They have released quite a few new ranges over the last few weeks. One of the latest ranges is the CottonRidge. It’s more of a conservative line or as we like to say, a classic line. Some of our readers may go “boring.” But we all need classic pairs in our underwear drawers.
The CottonRidge range is a 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane fabric blend. The Elastane will give it just enough stretch to feel great. The older I get the less I am a fan of 100% cotton underwear. I prefer 5% or more of another fabric such as Elastane or Spandex/lycra.
The colors available in this range are Army, Denim, Marble, and Ocean. The four colors are available in a brief and hipster. Each style has the aussieBum branded waistband in black and white. The design is a very classic design in color and style.
The range has been enhanced over previous collections. This new CottonRidge has enhanced shaping and pouch. For the majority of our readers a great pouch design is needed. There are very few things, outside of itchy tags, you guys hate more. It has to be supportive and comfortable over a range of guys size. Pouches are not for just the hung guys.
This range is a limited edition collection as well. If you like it, you better act fast. They won’t guarantee that the collection will be around much longer! Most limited edition collections aren’t around too long before the popular sizes are sold out!
I personally like the collection. As I stated above, we all need classic pairs in our underwear drawer. We may not always be able to wear our favorite thong or jock to an event. These are great to have in those instances.

This is a big deal. Nasty Pig usually does one single production run of their union suits so when they’re gone, they’re gone until next year. Jockstrap Central brings in what they can but consistently sell out within weeks and countless customers end up being left out in the cold.. .literally. In other words, snag them while you can.
It doesn’t get more masculine and sexy than this. Union suits conjure up images of the working man and while Nasty Pig respects the union suit’s past with their version yet they improve it in every way. As expected, they’re available in classic union suit color red, in serious black and new for this year, a very masculine military olive-green.
Instead of the traditional flannel, Nasty Pig uses their signature super-soft, top quality lightly ribbed spandex/cotton underwear fabric. Here’s the hottest part: the snap closure that runs down the chest also runs all the way under the crotch and around to the back ending just above the butt – is an innovative back closure solution, way sexier than the traditional flap. Need we mention that the snap closure, both front and back, make for an easy exit and entry. Finally, the union suit is finished with a tone on tone Nasty Pig logo on the left chest.
Wear them everywhere you want: under your jeans when you hit the streets, paired with a sick set of high tops, or be truly unique and wear them as outerwear before it’s gets too cold. You can even wear them with nothing at all next to a roaring fire on Christmas morning.
Of course there is one thing hotter than a Nasty Pig Union Suit and that’s a Nasty Pig Union Suit presented the Jockstrap Central way. They’ve got their favorite exhibitionist models Adam Stray and Caleb King to gear up and let’s just say there may be a few explicit shots over at their website. Grab a towel and enjoy yourself.!
