What is the Best Fabric for Underwear? Modal!

No Comments

modalFabric 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!

Review – Andrew Christian FUKR Net Brief 90036

No Comments

90036_brief-_1_-copyThis pair was furnished by Andrew Christian for review

Rating: 9/10

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

Pros:

  • Super comfortable mesh fabric
  • Great supportive pouch
  • Sexy design perfect for every day wear

Cons:

  • Those guys who don’t like bright waistband may not like the FUKR band
  • If you’re conservative in underwear choice this is not for you
  • Mesh isn’t for everyone

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

aussieBum CottonRidge Range

No Comments

is_brief_greenforest_01_160909142106aussieBum 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.

BRAND: aussieBum
PAIR: CottonRidge Brief and Hipster
COLORS: Army, Denim, Marble, and Ocean
FABRIC: 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane
SIZES: Small – X-large
COST:  $14.50/15.00

Jockstrap Central has the Nasty Pig 2016 Union Suits

1 Comment

nasty-pig-union-suit-2016-26

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.!

Thong Thursday – My Favorite Thong Gregg Homme Torrid

No Comments

874-torrid-whiteI am not the biggest thong lover in the world men’s underwear. I got my start wearing I think it was Sauvage thongs. All I remember is they looked like striper wear. I even wore them to the gym a few times. Then I stumbled across the 2(X)IST Y-Back thong. It really opened my eyes to wearing thongs on a more daily basis. They weren’t something to show off in but rather undies for everyday wear.

One of my current thongs that is a must have is the Gregg Homme Torrid. A warning, when you get this in the mail, if you order online. The package will feel empty. Next, when you take it out of the package, it will look way too small. You will have the thought, “How will my junk fit in this tiny thong?” Once you slide it on you will see the amazing stretch of the fabric it’s made out of. It fits like it was made just for you.

Why I like this pair? It’s got a pouch that fits so well. It conforms to your body no matter your size or shape. It’s not going designed for sports, so don’t expect it to be super tight. The fabric holds everything in place and feels great but it’s a looser fit. I like this because it will move throughout the day. Next, is the fabric. I don’t know where Gregg Homme gets their fabrics but it’s nothing short of magic. How can something so small hold everything in it and comfortably. Match that with the great feeling and it’s a winner. Lastly, is the string. Some of them I hate. It feels like I’m being rubbed the wrong way. This one makes me forget I”m wearing one throughout the day.

If you are new to thongs. Try this one out. It will be a fit and a color you will love! It’s a great starter thong. Yes, it’s a bit pricey but Gregg Homme is some of the best-made underwear brand on the market.

BRAND: Gregg Homme
PAIR: Torrid Thong
COLORS: 11 Colors – See site

Brief Distraction featuring Ty Alexander

Thongs are becoming more and more popular. We have seen a big upswing in interest from you guys. I saw Ty Alexander on Twitter and he posts a lot of pics of him in thongs. We got his permission to use his pic for our Thong Thursday Brief Distraction. We asked him why he likes thongs. He said ” I like the feeling of being sexy under my clothes it’s kind of a little hidden secret you have all day.  Also if you have a natural bubble butt it allows it to jiggle a little more I think.”

Jockstrap Wednesday – Flaunt it in Go Softwear

No Comments

2_7dab9e51-4a27-41c9-8ee4-2685c3c15387_largeIt’s Jockstrap Wednesday! We wanted to profile something that is on the fun side. We haven’t done too much with jock briefs. However, when I saw the new Go Softwear After Dark Flaunt Brief I had to profile it today! The After Dark line is one that is more fetish related, but this one you could wear anytime.

The brief has a solid pouch with a different color mesh material. The colors are vibrant and bright. This really sets off the black pouch and trim. Pair that with the matching color Hard Core waistband.Go Softwear has redesigned the 1 1/2 inch waistband. Those who are not fans of too crazy bands. The Hard Core name is in the same color as mesh and just on the front. The rest of the band is solid black.  Go Softwear has redesigned the 1 1/2 inch waistband. This means if it does show over your jeans, you will leave people guessing on what you have on!

The colors of the line are Black/Fuchsia, Black/Royal and Black/Lime. My favorite is the Fuchsia. Just something about the off setting black that I just love. The fabric is Fabric Content: 95% Rayon 5% Spandex. Mesh Fabric is 90% Nylon 10% Spandex. This allows for a “spacious front pouch.” The spandex will give a bit of a give and create a great pouch.

Go Softwear makes some really fun designs. The After Dark line has been one of their best sellers. It’s just a really fun line. This new Flaunt Brief fits in nicely. The colors contrast the black really well. It will stand out if you wear out or wear in! I say great job Go Softwear! We will bring you some of their new singlets soon!

BRAND: Go Softwear

Feel sexy in Bruno Men’s Wear from Mexico

No Comments

csl88zhukaah6ccYou reading this blog means you love underwear. It doesn’t matter if you’re gay/bi/straight, you are all part of the underwear loving brotherhood. One thing that runs across all guys is we want our underwear to make us feel sexy. Wearing something under our clothes to work gives us extra confidence and self-esteem. A new brand, that can be considered on the wild side, I found is Bruno Men’s Wear.

Bruno Men’s Wear is a 100% Mexican company. They are founded and operate out of the state of Veracruz. You can see the Mexican heritage in some of the design colors they use. They are one of the few companies out of Mexico we have profiled. Their designs really stood out for me. Not only do they look to be on the wild side (bulging pouches, smaller cuts and interesting designs) but they look very comfortable too. They say they want to make men’s wear “that is sexy, masculine and sporty, while it be balancing evenly between comfort and fashion.” I think they really succeed at this.

One of the new lines is the MXNO. It’s a set of some great pairs of underwear. All of them tie in the Mexican colors into the designs. Here are a few of the pairs.

I am going to profile a few of their great designs. The first is the THONG MXNO-MX. This is not just a thong with a cut-out. It’s their take on the thong with the sex factor turned up. As you can see from the pics. The pouch is designed to fit you even with the cutouts. It’s also in the traditional Mexican colors. It’s just hot to me. They took a classic style and made it their own!

This one made me do a double take! This is the Bikini BRIEF MXNO-MX4. At first, I thought it was a thong but it’s a bikini. The right waistband has a loop that goes around the pouch. It holds it securely in place. They get big props for doing something innovative and fun. It’s making me want to try them.  This is my favorite of the pairs i have seen.

We have guys who love string bikinis. They are getting harder and harder to find. The Bikini BRIEF MXNO-MX1 is one, now with a super small waistband but none the less, it’s a string bikini design. Again, you see the Mexican heritage being tied into the pair with the waistband and trim colors. The Green and Red make the designs pop.

Just went you think it can’t get sexier they put their spin on the Jockstrap. The JOCKSTRAP MXNO-MX2. Made very similar to the string bikini mentioned above. However, the back is jock design with an extra strap going from the leg strap to the back of the waistband.

The last pair I’m going to cover is the thong. The THONG Bóxer MXNO-MX3. We can’t wrap up and not include the thong. The front is very much like a brief but the back is the thong design. I really like how the back is cut in the back. It allows you to show off your assets. Still super sexy!

I hope you will go see the tons of other gear at Bruno Men’s Wear. They have a lot more underwear. Not to mention swimwear, sportswear and accessories. All of them are super hot! I haven’t seen this available in any store in the US. Only place to order is off their website.

Men’s Shapewear – What’s Wrong and How to Fix it

No Comments

shapeMen’s shapewear is nothing new. It has been on the market for a few years. In theory, shapewear should make you appear thinner and slimmer. Women have been using it for years. Spanx the company known for women’s shapewear created a collection for men. The first collection was good. But didn’t deliver to men the Spanx experience women have been having.

Whats’ Wrong with Shapewear?

One of the big reasons I don’t think shapewear has taken off for men is function. I have tried many different kinds of shapewear. The shirts are a struggle to get on. It’s basically wrestling to get them on. You really need two people to put them on. Getting them off luckily is not as difficult, but it’s still a chore. I would love if they created a zipper or fastening system that allows it to go on easier and by yourself.

Unlike women’s brands a lot of the early men’s lines gave a little bit slimming. But not enough of a slimming effect that guys were expecting. Why struggle to put on a shirt when it gives you minimal results? More brands are looking at how to make their lines give better results.

The last thing is going to the bathroom. This is something often over looked. On women’s  shapewear. They have an opening that allows them to go to the Bathroom. On men’s it can be a struggle to get them down and out. Depending on the design. One company that didn’t overlook this is Gregg Home. Their Sculpt line they released in March/April took into account going to the bathroom. There is a slit between the wide waistband and the pouch. Easy access with out the hassle.

How To Fix Shapewear

The design of most men’s shapewear is pretty simple. I”m not saying we need to put in wild colors or patterns. I think the classic white and black are perfect for it. Most will not want to draw attention to the fact they are wearing it. The wilder the colors the more attention you will get.

I mentioned above the struggle to get it on. One thing I would love to see is a one piece design. That could be like a singlet. A  full body type of design would give better results and fit better. A zipper down the front that could ease in putting the pairs on. I’m still not sure if there should be a cut-out or specially designed pouch. To allow for ease of use for the bathroom. If there is a cut out you’d need to wear extra underwear for support.

This design would be tailored for a man’s body. Make sure it’s narrows the waist and broadens the shoulders. This design should also take into account the anatomy of a man. To ensure  it’s very comfortable. Plus, the design should be able to be worn under clothing without giving away the fact it’s shapewear.

We hope to do some more shapwear reviews soon. Stay tuned!

Underwear with Shock Value, New 2(X)IST Sliq Micro Collection

No Comments

underwear-with2(X)IST has released an update to their popular Sliq line. The new collection is called the Sliq Micro collection. It also has something in it that may surprise and delight some of you. It has a thong! Yes, the original y back thong is in this collection. It was one of the first thongs I really fell in love with, and I”m glad it’s back in a new color.

The new collection has either two prints and a solid. The thong only comes in the solid color. I wish they could have done a print on it. The colors in this collection are Intersect Print – Lime Green, Intersect Print -Flame Scarlet  and Flame Scarlet. All colors are a lot of fun. I am loving the Flame Scarlet thong. They all really pop and will be fun to wear under jeans, suit or work clothes.

Made out of an 88% POLYESTER / 12% SPANDEX blend. Which will make it fit great. The added bonus of this fabric is it’s moisture wicking. Making it the perfect pair for working out or being active. More and more brands are paying attention to this and it’s a welcome change.

The three styles are the Sliq Micro Brief, Trunk, and Thong. As stated above the brief and trunk have all colors. The thong is just the Flame Scarlet. I like this because the main part of the underwear is a solid color and the print is on the right hip. It’s asymmetrical but a lot of fun.

The Y-Back thong is a classic. We added it to our Drawer of Fame this year. It’s one of the first thongs that was accepted by the masses. Even department stores sold the pair. This is a classic pair that I hope they never quit making. This is one thong I definitely want to pick up!

Find the three styles at the 2(X)IST website!

BRAND: 2(X)IST
PAIR: Sliq Micro Brief, Trunk and Thong
COLORS: Intersect Print – Lime Green, Intersect Print -Flame Scarlet  and Flame Scarlet
FABRIC: 88% POLYESTER / 12% SPANDEX

Is the Gym Factor Going Away?

No Comments

gym-factorAlmost 8 years ago when we launched UNB, we used to judge a pair by the Gym Factor. The Gym Factor is would you wear this pair to the gym and change in the locker room. Most guys at the time would wear more conservative pairs. They would be regular briefs, boxer briefs, and trunks. Also, they would be in traditional colors. Usually black, white or grey. Some would do navy or similar color.

That was 2008/2009, we are now in 2016. A few of our readers I talk with on a regular basis have me questioning this factor. More and more guys are telling us they are wearing thongs to the gym, over traditional underwear. The comfort and support is one thing they love. Some of these guys say they change at the gym and don’t care who sees them in a thong.

I know there isn’t a wave of guys in gyms walking around in thongs. It’s a slow migration to better underwear for the general public. As more guys realize that good underwear makes you feel amazing. This trend will change. Wearing something colorful and fun won’t be an issue. Other guys in the locker room won’t even give it a second look.

This is due to underwear is being worn by more straight guys. It’s no longer just gay guys who can wear great underwear. There is still a stigma of “underwear is gay.” This is SLOWLY, going away. I say slowly, but I have seen big changes in the industry since 2008. These will continue to change.

One other reason this is changing is technology in underwear. There is much better fabric and designs. Fabrics now are moisture wicking. Allowing you to work out more comfortably. Fabrics such as Modal are the perfect example. They keep you cool and perfect for working out. Next, brands are giving more supportive pouches and creating pairs just for working out. Comfort is key to the current men’s underwear market.

We are curious if you guys are wearing what you want to the gym or are you still using the “Gym Factor?” Wearing classic designs and colors to the gym?
