The boys from PetitQ, Arthus & Nico, are back for another shoot! They shot this at the Indulge Inn, in Palm Springs. They always do some great pictures. It always features the newest from PetitQ. We hope you enjoy these pics.
One brand that I know a lot of our readers miss is UnderGear. They are one of the main ways many of us got our underwear back in the day. Some of us called in and others shopped online. The BodyTech was a line that was exclusive to UnderGear. It’s still hard to believe one of the monolith companies in the world of underwear is gone!
UnderGear was a shop that shaped so many of us out there. A lot of guys were first exposed to underwear outside of Hanes and FOTL. It showed them that there were more than tighty whities and boxers. Bikinis, thongs and more were styles that were for men as well.
I reviewed these back in the day and still have them with the matching shirt. We definitely miss them and were hoping they would be revived in some way. But as of this post they are still MIA.
Are you a jockstrap fan? If you are Wednesday’s are all about you! Its the day social media and we here at UNB celebrate the jockstrap. One of the newest is the Timoteo Speedway jock. This jock is based on the best-selling Trainer Jock. Now it comes in the different colors and stripes of the Speedway collection.
The first thing you notice is the waistband. This band is new and with a 2 inch design. The colors in the band match the colors in the pair. It’s a really great touch. It shows the thought going into the design that there would be five different waistband colors.
The pouch has five stripes down the center. A dark solid center stripe. Followed by the shade lighter color on each side followed by another shade lighter outside of all three stripes. The trim matches the lightest color on the pouch. It’s a fun sporty design.
Made in 4 vibrant new color combinations. The colors are Blue, Green, Red and Orange. The red is the only one with a black pouch. The rest have white pouches. Made out of a high quality 72% Cotton 23% Polyester 5% Spandex blend. Making it perfect for any activity you have in mind! Meaning you can wear them to the gym, work or lounging around home.
The Speedway line also comes in a brief and slingshot jock. Each of them have the same colors and design. If you like one you may want to check out the entire line. To get this pair go to the Timoteo site. We will have more from Timoteo and Cellblock 13 very soon! They have some great pairs coming in the next few weeks!

Greek label Modus Vivendi has just released a fresh new line of men’s underwear, tank tops and T-shirts made from pure cotton with a special antibacterial finish. This technology combats bacteria and so diminishes body odour, keeping you fresher for longer. The Antibacterial line comprises super comfy low cut briefs, classic briefs and boxer briefs as well as tank tops and tees in three colours, black, white and beige, with pure, aesthetic designs that complement the male form and are yet plain and straightforward, bearing just a discreet Modus Vivendi label.
The new line from Modus Vivendi is launched with a striking photographic campaign. Visionary photographer Joan Crisol worked with acclaimed dancers Eduardo Fedriani and Julián Goméz to present the underwear and tops of the Antibacterial Line with images of the male form in movement. Intriguing, visually enchanting, Crisol’s images capture the fresh feel of the fabric and the super comfortable cuts. Enjoy the campaign and the backstage video and treat yourself to this great new underwear by Modus Vivendi!

Fashion jocks are common place in today’s underwear market. Since 2009 the types and styles of jocks have exploded. One of the companies that have been producing fun jocks is Jack Adams. One of their latest pairs is the Lux Drift Jock. Which is part of the larger Lux Drift collection, which is made to combat “constantly tug, pull and grab at ill-fitting underwear, you can’t be comfortable and confident. ”
The first thing you notice about the pair is the pouches are made out of a striped fabric. There have been patterns and prints but I don’t recall too many stripes in the world of jocks. Most of the ones have been solids and wild prints. Jack Adams took a middle ground to this jock. It’s not super traditional or wild. I would say it’s more on the “classic” side. Meaning it won’t go out of style. At least I think that.
The next thing you won’t notice in the picture, but you will when you put it on is the fabric. “An extremely luxurious fabric, it’s cool to the touch, absorbent and similar in texture to silk or cotton. Unlike cotton, however, it is resistant to shrinkage and less likely to fade or pill. Fits and feels like a second skin. Performs well for even the longest day’s wear. Made of 95% Modal and 5% Elastane.” This pair is made to be worn for any occasion. It will hold up to daily wear and regular washing.
There are two color options in this line. You can get either blue or red. Each one has the black Jack Adams waistband. The name is in the waistband, but in the same color. It won’t be blatant if it should ride up. It’s a great color combination with the two colors and the waistband.
I really love this jock. Jack Adams did a great job in the design of this pair. I hope you guys will check it out!

As we celebrate our 8th year I thought I would share some things that I have learned over the years about underwear, the industry, and our readers. Some are no brainers and others really surprised me.
The Industry Is Small
I’m not talking as in sales or pairs sold every year. The men’s underwear market is $4 billion and growing. Rather, the people behind brands are a small staff. Other than Calvin Klein and 2(X)ist. Most brands have 4-6 people running it. They do amazing things on a small staff. It has been this way since 2008.
Guys Love Small Underwear
My personal preference is small undies. Bikinis have always been my go to style. Even in the days of boxer briefs and boxers. I would seek out smaller cuts. As I talk to many of you guys, you love bikinis, thongs and smaller! Across the board its one thing we have in common. In our reader survey it reaffirms this. It makes me happy that this area of men’s underwear is growing.
Straight/Bi/Gay Our origins story are the same
This is one of the WOW moments for me. The time we all started liking underwear is about the same. Usually early to mid teens. Some guys acted on it and other did not. Again across the board. Most really started to try out new pairs in college or after moving our of our parent’s house. After that it took off and there was no looking back.
Guys Love fashion Vs. those who don’t
We have a divide in our ranks. It’s not a bad one, but it makes me laugh. I have been on both sides of this divide. Guys who love underwear are either very fashion conscious or not at all. Those who are not, the underwear is the best thing they wear. Currently, I’m on the don’t side rather than do. I need to step it up.
There are some true underwear addicts out there!
I thought I had a lot of undies around 400 pairs but I have talked to guys who have thousands of pairs. I say my hat is off if you have that much. Some of them have really great storage systems for them. On top of that a few of them have even created spreadsheets to keep track of their collections. I should do this because I always forget pairs I have and discover them in back of a drawer. But, if you’re one of the guys, know you have a lot more than a blogger! You are the guys we also love! You want to know the newest, lastest and greatest underwear on the market.
Sexy is different for each guy
We find many things sexy. Some it’s a thong or mesh. Other guys like classic white briefs. This goes along with what our partner/wife/husband likes as well. I remember a few years ago I tried to define date night underwear. This got me a lot of feedback that I was off base and never made that mistake again. I find date night undies to be skimpy, mesh and similar. You guys have a different definition!
Straight guys want to wear swim briefs
I always thought us gay guys were the ones to wear the swim briefs. I never thought that straight guys would want to be able to rock a swim brief on the beach or pool. But many of you do. The stories we have heard from many guys has them wearing them out of the country. They wear them in the Caribean, Europe or Mexico. Guys tell us how liberating it feels being able to wear them without judgment. They wish they could do the same in the State and not get labeled gay.
Underwear Guys are the Best Guys
If a guy loves underwear and you bond over the fact. I think you have a friend for life. I’m not talking about sexual bonding but rather something you have in common. Over the years I have met gay/bi/straight guys all who have become friends. It’s all over underwear. Underwear is something really rarely talked about. When you can and really share your passion you open up more. This goes for all guys, not just gay. I think gay guys get put in the “underwear is sexual” all to often. We all need to talk undies because it is normal!
These are just a few things I have found out. There are tons more but when I put myself on the spot. My mind goes blank. But just know there are many of you guys out there and we need to develop a community around us regardless of sexual orientation. I hope we get at least 8 more years of UNB!
We featured some of the BodyAware Halloween Undies earlier this week. They are fun and festive for this holiday season. BodyAware produced videos of each of the pairs. We hope you enjoy and maybe you’ll get some fun undies for the Halloween season!

Jack Adams has released their new collection for Fall! We will have more about the line, but we had to share some of the great pics they did for the new line.
I know from talking to a lot of you guys. That you love skimpier cuts, mesh and fun colors. A new brand that has come across my radar fits all these qualifications. It’s call Bite Wear. Bite Wear is a brand out of Columbia. It used Columbian fabrics to create a sexy, yet fun line.
One thing is consistent across the line. It’s all about sex appeal. There are a number of thongs in the collection. However, don’t mistake the boxer briefs as not being sexy. They have mesh and cut outs to date to bare as much as you want. If you’re a fan of purple, this line is going to be awesome for you! There are pairs in purple and a lot of other pairs use purple trim and waistbands. Other colors used are black and a teal color.
We are going to walk you through the line. It’s not a super huge line. We hope you will enjoy this new line!

Is running an underwear blog as glamorous as it seems? Why yes it is! Said sarcastically! It’s a lot of work. UNB enters out 8th year of serving guys the latest in underwear, swimwear and more. Planning the week starts on Sunday and usually by Monday afternoon the schedule has gone crazy.
This is not because things go awry here. There is so much going on in the world of underwear, things get juggled. It has taught me to come up with a tentative schedule. We will get notice a new brand is out and will have to shuffle posts around. I have long given up on having a set editorial calendar each week. It’s more go with the flow.
What will your support mean? We can do more shoots and improve the blog. Recently we ran a poll about real guys in shoots. You guys asked why didn’t we get a brand to support it. Well, that’s a long discussion. It’s just, currently, easier if we take this project on and see it through. We would love brand support on these projects.
We currently don’t take money for posts and don’t have any intrusive advertisements. Why do we do this? First, we want to be objective and not be paid to post some. If you guys love something we will post more about it, if not we won’t. Next, reader experience is most important to me. I HATE sites with ads that take over the screen, videos that open from nowhere and ads between posts. Sites that does this, I never come back too. We may at some point may need to take on more advertising but we won’t have it be intrusive to your experience.
If you want to donate, go to the UNB Patreon page. Even just $1 a month will make a difference. Enough guys giving $1 can turn into something big! At the $1 level we are letting every one of our Patrons into our Private Slack for supporters. It’s a place you can talk undies and get to know the editorial guys and also other supporters. It’s a great group of guys and we have some good conversations!
Support us today!
WAPO Wear has done some awesome swimwear. We hear they are working on a new line. We will keep you posted. They will have more great pics soon!
BodyAware has a new website! To celebrate the occasion they are giving you 15% off your purchase. Use code Take15 at check out! This includes the Greek God Brief pictured above! BodyAware has really gone mainstream in the last year. We hear so many of you, that shop there and love what they are doing. They have their own take on men’s underwear and it’s working for them!
One of the fabrics guys are loving, from BodyAware is lace. The Normandy Lace Collection has released a few new styles. Guys are loving the mix of masculine and feminine. BodyAware has been on the front line of the lace underwear movement.
Normandy Lace Cheek Brief – This reminds me of a boy short than a brief. The back is not a full back. Made with a pouch to give you support. they call this pair deliciously provocative. Available in three colors. Black, Pink and Aqua and retails for $21.95.
Normandy Lace Pouch Brief – My one issue with lace has always been the pouch. Some brands don’t make a great pouch to hold everything. The Lace Pouch Brief solves that problem. It has a great pouch that should hold most guys wanting to try lace. It is available in the same colors as the Lace Cheek Brief, but add an additional color of White. It retails for $20.95
There is one more pair. The Normandy Lace Briefs. It has a similar cut as the Lace Cheek Brief. However, it has a fuller back. It has a pouch built into the design. The design also has no elastic in the legs to make it more comfortable. Made in the same colors as the Lace Pouch Brief. It retails for $22.95
If you are a fan of lace or want to give it a try. Now is the time. You can save some money and give it a try.
Sukrew has released their Crimson collection. It includes the boxer briefs you see above. But, you can also get it in your favorite styles. That includes the U-Brief and U-Jock. But I personally am loving the longer boxer briefs.
This week marks my 8th anniversary of UNB. 8 years of talking and writing about underwear. It seems like yesterday I sat down in front of my computer and started this journey. I won’t go into the origins story, I have done that so many times over the years!
What has 8 years of UNB taught me over the years?
I am the IT guy – When UNB was first launched we had shared hosting. Which was great till we grew too big and had to get our own server. A friend helped me move it over and then March hit this past month. We were down for the most of a 4 day period. This taught me all about web servers and moving WordPress sites.
Underwear Guys are the best guys – Over the years I have talked and befriended many readers out there. Regardless of bi, gay or straight, underwear guys are the most amazing guys. The blog has let me meet so many good guys. We begin with the underwear connection and then discover more we have in common. The support from long-time readers is amazing. You guys remind me why I do this, for 8 years.
Problem-solving is one of my strengths – UNB is on a budget. You may think we are this glamorous organization but we aren’t. We range from 4 to 12 guys over the years. When we have issues that hit the blog, I have to come up with a way to solve them. Usually on a budget and creatively. In the early years I would freak out and worry, now its worry then “I got this.” I have fixed many problems I never thought I could on my own.
What will the next few year hold? I’m not sure, other than the blog will go on! We are in the process of developing a community amongst all the underwear guys out there. It’s amazing how we are all very similar. Across all sexual identities, we virtually have the same story.
We are going to do some more anniversary stuff next week. The reason is I think of UNB as created in Mid October, when in fact the domain renewal is the first week in October. Stay Tuned and I’ll walk you through some of our best moments of UNB! .

I think aussieBum has made underwear for just about every holiday you can think of on the calendar. The latest range is the Monster Mash, just in time for Halloween. But, it’s not just underwear but swimwear and singlet. Singlet as in tank top in Austrailia, not a wrestling singlet.
The official text is: “It’s time to rattle those ‘pots and pans’ for Halloween festivities. Working with our talented mate Paul we present the Good ‘Ol Days – Monster Mash inspired Zombie crew. Available in limited edition underwear, swimwear and boardies these babies are going to howl in your pants and have your friends wanting to peek inside. Monster Mash is custom engineered and built to last. Have fun this summer as aussieBum celebrates Halloween.”
The styles are for underwear are just briefs. Sorry there are no hipsters in this line. Each color has a different monster on the pouch. They appear to be Frankenstein, Werewolf, and a Zombi. Each of the three have their own colors as well. It’s also more of a traditional cut brief.
The swimwear wear comes in three different styles. I call them the brief, short and trunk. The brief is very similar to the Super low line. Made out of 100% Polyester. The trunk is the shorter cut of the two short of the two. It has an elastic waistband with a drawstring. The Short is more of a board short, has a solid waistband with a snap. Each has a unique print of the three different characters. Each differ from style to style. Lastly, is the singlet. It matches perfectly with the rest of the line. It’s not matchy matchy but compliments the rest of the collection. It also has a black stripe on each side. Perfect to be worn to the beach or pool.
I like these because they aren’t too holiday specific. They can be worn year round. Especially if you like graphic/cartoon prints. Make sure you check out the entire line!
The cost are:
- Brief $21.75
- Swim brief $21.75
- trunk $25.50
- Short $50.75
- Singlet $21.75
Fall is fast approaching. That means it is time to put away the shorts and get ready for winter. One thing that you maybe wearing are runners. If you do see the Aronik runners out now!
Contrary to our opinion here at UNB, not every guy wants to wear a swim brief. I know that’s crazy talk from us here at UNB. Some guys want some super stylish shorts that look good on the beach or pool. If that guy is you, then you need to see the latest line from SupaWear. The new SupaDupa shorts have some great prints.
Here is the official description from SupaWear:
The new Supadupa shorts are Supawear’s revamped and revitalized beach range. Confident, masculine and bold, these are designed to be fitted but at the same time offering enough stretch for comfort. Supa lightweight with bright, bold and vibrant prints that make this the essential summer short.
There are three different prints. The Ahoy!, Blossom and the Pineapple. Both are a lot of fun without being over the top. They will get you noticed for the right reasons by the water. The Pineapple is just that a print with a green background. On that green background is a pineapple print. My favorite is the pineapple rings. Gives it a bit more fun! The Blossom is a floral print but not the typical beach floral print. It has a solid background with a few flowers on the print. You won’t get overwhelmed with a crazy print. The last is the Ahoy! A navy background with nautical symbols in pink. It really pops.
All of these are really great pairs. Perfect for any beach or pool. Find them at the SupaWear site! Then go out and have some fun in the sun!
C-IN2 is no stranger to making great jocks. Previous pairs they have shaped the design of their current jocks. The Grip line was one of the first to have this unique design that is the Culture Club Street Jock. The straps that come around and attach on the waistband above the pouch.
We chose this line is because of the great colors C-IN2 does for Culture Club. The Culture Club line started with some bright and fun prints. This collection still has prints but they are a bit more subtle. The prints are Croc Print (green), Herring Bone (blue), Hounds Tooth (purple) and Shark Skin (orange/purple).
There are two different C-IN2 waistbands in this collection. The first two have a waistband with a blue stripe at the bottom. The last two have the same gray band with an orange stripe at the bottom. It matches the pair very nicely. The gray background and colored stripe is the perfect accent.
The Culture Club street jock is made out of a 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex/Elastane/Lycra. Which means it will be super comfy no matter what you do in this jock. It can be worn to the gym, under your work clothes or just around the house. Fashion jocks are made for everyday wear not just working out and the gym!
If you are after a stylish and fun jock, this is the pair for you. It will have a print you will love that will fit your style. From more conservative to a bright!
