In this latest Brief Talk Podcast – Brief Tale, UNB Tim sits down with Simon, a self-described Lycra enthusiast whose love for spandex goes back to his teenage years. What started with the influence of superhero TV shows and the allure of tight athletic gear has grown into a full-on passion that’s now a part of his everyday life.
Simon’s first introduction to spandex came through superhero shows as a kid, but it wasn’t until he was about 16 that he bought his first piece—running tights he spotted in a store. From there, he moved into cycling shorts, Speedos, and any other snug, stretchy gear he could find. Over time, his appreciation evolved into both a fetish and a lifestyle, fueled by discovering small online communities of like-minded spandex fans.
For Simon, spandex is not just for home or the bedroom—he often wears it to cycle to work, exercise, or attend fetish events like Darklands. He’s found creative ways to make it gym-appropriate, like wearing shorts over tights, and enjoys the freedom of being in spaces where his love for spandex is accepted and celebrated.
One of his most memorable recent additions? A green and rosy running suit—perfect for everything from lounging at home to navigating a night out without struggling in the bathroom. He also recently purchased a striking red suit, which quickly became a favorite.
While Simon mostly shares his spandex side within the fetish community, social media platforms like Instagram, Blue Sky, and Spandex Party have helped him connect with other enthusiasts. He’s noticed that spandex is becoming more visible in fetish scenes, especially when mixed with leather or other gear, and encourages guys to enjoy whatever style makes them feel confident and sexy.
Simon admits he’s a sneaker fan too, pairing them with his spandex when possible, although he doesn’t have the budget to perfectly coordinate every outfit. His Speedo collection doesn’t get much use these days due to living far from the beach, but he’s always open to adding more gear to his collection.
For Simon, the joy of spandex is about comfort, expression, and community. Whether it’s a skin-tight bodysuit, cycling kit, or gym tights, the gear makes him feel good—and that’s what matters most.

MODUS VIVENDI Presents: The Labyrinth – A Journey Through Style and Sustainability
Inspired by the legendary Labyrinth of Greek mythology, MODUS VIVENDI’s new campaign captures the intrigue, complexity, and artistry of the ancient maze. Just as the labyrinth was a place of twists, turns, and unexpected beauty, this collection invites you to explore your own path—where conscious choices lead to timeless style. The imagery weaves Greek heritage with modern design, creating a visual narrative that celebrates both myth and meaning.
The Labyrinth Line, part of the Upcycling Collection, is where comfort meets conscience. Each piece is crafted from butter-feel printed viscose fabric, knitted according to GOTS standards and dyed and washed in compliance with OCS requirements. Available in Red-Blue and Dusty Pink, the line combines elegance with everyday comfort.
Made from upcycled fabrics, the Labyrinth Line supports the circular economy by giving new life to high-quality materials that would otherwise go to waste. As part of MODUS VIVENDI’s Responsibility Edit, it reinforces our commitment to reducing waste and choosing reuse over disposal—because style should never come at the expense of the planet.
With the Labyrinth Line, you don’t just wear fashion—you navigate it, making every choice count.

I talk about underwear every day, whether through friends I’ve made or random people on the internet and social media. You could say I have embraced my passion and want other guys to know they’re not alone or strange for liking underwear and the feelings it can evoke. To me, it was a hidden superpower while growing up. It made me feel special and different without exposing everything to the world.
I have a theory about why more guys don’t discuss underwear openly. It’s a very personal and special type of clothing. When we start this journey, many of us tend to hide it from those around us, treating it like a secret we’re not ready to share. I remember when my stash of bikinis was discovered—I was mortified and tried to avoid the topic at all costs. How do you explain to your mother at 14 that you are drawn to this and that it makes you feel special? You’d rather avoid that conversation altogether. This shame and fear affect us because we don’t want to be rejected for our underwear choices. It’s a deep part of our identity; rejecting it feels like rejecting who we are, even if the other person doesn’t realize the profound impact their actions can have.
Social media, however, has made it easier to find guys who share a love for underwear. Many post pictures and share their thoughts on different brands. You can comment on their posts or even DM them to discuss the styles they love. It’s possible to make lifelong friends simply because of an interest in underwear. I have, and I hope to connect with more along the way.
Some guys are timid and lack self-confidence. I know I did in my younger days. Reaching out to a total stranger can be daunting. But if you reach out to a genuine underwear enthusiast, most will be willing to have a conversation about their passion. Here are some tips to strike up a conversation:
1. Seek out guys with smaller followings to start talking with. Look for someone with fewer followers who posts often and responds to comments. They are more likely to engage with you. If someone has 10,000 followers, you might get lost in their inbox.
2. Start the conversation about the underwear. Avoid comments like “you look hot” or “significant bulge,” even if you notice one. Instead, compliment the cut or color of the underwear, or respond to something they posted in the comments. This shows you’re genuinely interested in their love for underwear, and they’ll appreciate the positive vibe.
3. Don’t send unsolicited pictures. It’s fine to want to share and discuss underwear, but ask for permission before sending any pictures, especially explicit ones. Not everyone wants to receive that kind of content in their inbox.
4. **Follow up promptly.** It’s okay to take a day to respond if you’re extremely busy, but try to reply within a few hours when possible. Everyone has a busy life, and you don’t need to respond immediately.
5. Talk about more than just underwear. I enjoy it when someone gets to know me beyond my interest in underwear. They ask about my favorite activities or areas of conversation. I’m looking for friends, so I want them to know both the underwear and non-underwear sides of who I am.
If you follow the blog or podcast, make a habit of reaching out to other guys and building a community. I’ve started this journey, and so far, it’s been amazing. Maintaining friendships requires effort, but it pays off in the long run. I’m genuinely astonished that such a small piece of fabric has brought me so much joy, happiness, confidence, and friendship. Please don’t be shy around fellow underwear enthusiasts; they will welcome and accept you. Let’s build something amazing together, guys!

MODUS VIVENDI Launches the Athletic Line: Where Performance Meets Purpose.
MODUS VIVENDI introduces the Athletic Line and the “Rooftop Session” Campaign, the latest addition to the Upcycling Collection—a bold step forward in fusing sustainable fashion with activewear design. This line is crafted for the modern man who refuses to compromise between high performance and responsible living. Designed for movement and made with purpose, the Athletic Line is where comfort meets conscience.
