Summer is in full swing! They weekends are filled with pool parties and days at the beach. You don’t want to wear the same suite to two parties. Well, some of you don’t like to wear the same suit to different events. One company you should consider is Alexander Cobb! They have a new swimwear collection for this summer!

What’s new in this collection? The SS 2016 features the following:

  • 100% European underwear and swimwear producer. We design, define and deliver
  • Padded support (foam) integrated in the products, with lift-up technology to create better pouch
  • The top material quality from a leading European manufacturer
  • Easy to dry, hold well, the materials consists of ultraviolet protected factor 50+
  • Revolution Energy – a fabric of high compression
  • Xtra Life Lycra – keep its shape over a longer period of time
  • Size range from S to XXL

One of the features is the lift up. It may sound different. They list two advantages to having the padded pouch. The first is it will “increase volume” in the front. Giving you a fuller effect on the pouch. Some guys will need this while some of our readers won’t. The second is that the padding also won’t show off everything when exiting the water. Not all guys like to show it all off. This feature will make sure you look good without showing off too much.

Alexander Cobb features briefs, trunks and swim shorts. The pair we are featuring is the Serengeti Trunk. It’s the red version of the Trunk. The white trim makes this pair pop. If red isn’t your color you can try one of the other styles. We chose the trunk because many out there want something form fitting but want something other than a brief. These I think are pretty sexy but not too small.

Find these and more at the Alexander Cobb site.

Great news for PUMP! fans, not only did we just get a full restock on all our PUMP! jockstraps, briefs and socks but we’ve got them on sale for 20% off until Tuesday, July 19th.

In case you’re just tuning into PUMP! they’re a Canadian underwear designer making some of the most stylish and high quality gear we’ve ever seen (and that’s saying something!) Although there are some solid color offerings, they’re known for their big bold make-a-statement color combinations and of course their iconic PUMP! logo across the waistband. We have the jocks both in the original, mostly cotton pouched fabric and also in the new stunning micro-mesh fabric which gives you built-in air-conditioning and also gives the jock a very modern hi-tech look. All the waistbands and leg straps are made with a super plushed comfort elastic that you’re going to love. Honestly, PUMP! sets the bar so high when it comes to underwear design.

For obvious reasons, we mostly have their jockstraps on offer (currently 16 styles available), but we also have a few micro-mesh briefs and a few matching ankle socks. If you haven’t tried PUMP!, with the sale on, now’s the time to give them a shot and if you’re one of the countless die-hard fans, now’s the time to stock up.

MV-WideLine-Conseptual Pics with Logo (6)

Sand beige and light grey. These are the two dominant colours of the new Wide Line released by Modus Vivendi, part of the brand’s extensive spring-summer 2016 collection. This line comprises masculine underwear designs in three styles, tanktops and a unique multi-shirt! The underwear comes in briefs, boxer-briefs and jockstraps featuring striped and solid, earth tone panels, shiny waistbands and a supreme quality, viscose blend fabric. The tanktops have a Modus Vivendi classic muscle tanktop cut and feature a striped front and a solid colour, t-shaped back. The multi-shirt of this line is a unique, fashion forward creation by Christos Bibitsos of an all weather men’s shirt. It comes with extra pairs of sleeves which you can attach to the neck to transform it from a sleeveless to a short or long sleeve shirt. It’s pretty amazing!

The stunning campaign images of Modus Vivendi’s Wide Line were captured in rural Australia by one of the best Australian photographers, Russell Fleming. Well known for its natural beauty, a location near Brisbane was chosen by the photographer as a backdrop for his session with model Daniel Kairouz. Fleming produced a shoot full of masculinity which ideally suits this line. The fantastic behind the scenes video was filmed and edited by talented Cullum Stege.

Copy of UNDerwear reviewN2N Bodywear furnished the Fresh Brief for Review

Rating: 9.2/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 0

Pros: great material, n-hance pouch, great fit.
Cons: Wish they had brighter colors .

UNB Tim recommendation: The Fresh brief is the closest you will get to a “basic” collection from N2N Bodywear. It fits great and is perfect for any active day. Or maybe just a lazy day at home. The N-hance pouch should solve any pouch issues you will have. It’s two thumbs up.


The Pair

I am a big fan of N2N Bodywear. I don’t think that is any secret. Over the course of UNB I have tried I think just about every pair they make. The Fresh Line was released in 2015. I didn’t get a pair from that collection, but did manage to get one this time! I was happy because this is something more of a classic style. The Fresh Brief is, in my opinion, the closest we have to a basics line from N2N.

The pair is made out of 90% cotton / 10% spandex blend. It fits really great. Plus its super comfortable through out the day. One of the features that I love best is it has the N-hance pouch. The N-hance pouch is their own pouch designed. It is a contoured pouch that should fit you pretty darn well.

The Fresh Briefs comes in three colors. They are White, Fresh Dreamy Blue and Fresh Mellon Green. The waistband is simple with the N2N Logo in the front. Around the back it has Made in Los Angeles. Each band matches the color with a white stripe in the middle. Except the white which is grey.

Review Conditions

I wore these to my part time job. Which is a lot of moving and being active. Plus it was super hot in Atlanta. We have had 90+ degrees and 70-80% humidity. Which makes wearing the wrong pair of underwear, a miserable experience. This pair didn’t add to my heat discomfort. The fabric and cut allowed it to breathe and felt great throughout the day. If it could survive this day of being outside and active. It could definitely be a great pair for the gym.

The N-hance pouch was perfect to wear. It gave me a lot of support through out the day. My biggest pet peeves is that a pair looses shape or pouch support through out the day. The Fresh Brief really held up great. All the pairs that have had the N-hance pouch have been really great. It’s a well designed pouch, that should fit most guys comfortably.

The Sizing

Sizing from N2N is pretty solid. They have standard US sizes. Which means a medium is 32 and it’s based around that sizing. I received an XL that fit pretty well. In all the pairs I have had from N2N have been consistent with sizing. You really shouldn’t have any issues with sizing.

Issues with the pair

There were no issues with this pair. I was very happy with the fit and feel. The only thing that I would love is if it came in brighter colors. I am a fan of bold colors in underwear. But, that’s a minor personal preference. The color I received was the blue. They did a great job with this pair!

COLORS: White, Fresh Dreamy Blue and Fresh Mellon Green

thong thursday

Since Cocksox turns 10 this week, we had to profile them for Thong Thursday! One of their popular thongs is the Cocksox Sport Thong. Why did we choose this over the CX05 Thong? I personally love the waistband! I think it really is super hot! We have a lot of readers that love smaller waistbands on thongs. But we all have to step outside of our box sometimes!

Being a pair from Cocksox it has the most amazing pouches. I am a bit biased in the pouch. To me, Cocksox has one of the top thongs on the market. It gives amazing support through out the day. The pouch will also enhance what you have with out any special attachments. If you have pouch issues, this pair maybe for you. While, it may not be work appropriate for some (the bulge may show off more than you want).

The material is super soft as well. The 92% Supplex ® 8% Lycra® feels amazing against your skin. I think all the regular pairs of underwear, except mesh and such, are made out of this blend. It holds up very well over time. Most of the pairs of Cocksox I have in my collection have lasted for 4-5 years or more.

The thong is “Slender, plunging waist line for maximum ‘cheekiness'” From the front many would think it’s a brief. As you turn they will notice that its something more revealing. Thongs to me are about the support of a brief and the freedom of no underwear. Plus you feel a little bit sexier when you wear a thong. At least I have this feeling when I wear them. I’m not an every day thong guy but special days deserve something fun.

JOCKSTRAP WEDNESDAY (1)
We are bringing you a bit of fetishwear in your Jockstrap Wednesday! The new Cellblock 13 X-Wing Jock is, well to me, super hot. This is not a traditional jock. There is no waistband! As you can see by the pictures it has a harness that holds up the jock. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this for a work pair. It’s more of a fun pair for a weekend or similar.

Cellblock says it is the sexiest jock they have ever created. I totally agree. It can also only be worn with a harness. You can use your own or get the X-Wing Harness that pairs up with the jock perfectly. You maybe thinking, “oh I can wear it solo.” Think again, as I said it has no waistband and more than likely won’t stay up. Its designed with a harness in mind.

The jock itself is made out of neoprene. Which has been becoming a hot fabric in the world of fetishwear and also underwear. Its easier to work with, care for and produce gear with the fabric. As we have said other fetish materials take some special care. It’s not recommended to wash this pair but hand/spot clean and hang dry.

There are three colors of the jock and harness. They are Red, Blue and Grey. You can pair it with the same color or mix and match as you please. Who said you have to be matchy matchy? This pair is all about fun. Where would you wear this? I would say to a bar night with jeans over it. Also, to any leather event you would like. I saw a lot of non leather harnesses in pictures from IML this past year.

There is something about this pair that I just love! It’s really a hot jock to me. If you’re looking for something for a fun night Jock, this is it!

10year_homepage2.215111

I was told about this pair last February in Vegas. I had a vision of this pair and what would be on it. My vision was a red pair with white writing. This is because the first pair I wanted was the red CX01. Now, the pair is out and its pretty awesome. A lot better than I had thought it would be!

The official description is: “Cocksox is ten! Celebrate this special birthday with us in our legendary CX01 Underwear Brief featuring a striking print of Cocksox slogans, brands and tags. This is where it all began for Cocksox – the CX01 is also celebrating its 10th birthday! By wearing these briefs you literally become part of our story – wear them with pride!”

Over the years the pair and brand have been described by many words. They took these words and slogans they have used and created this one of a kind print. Some of the words are “revolutionary”, “Australia” and “Est. 2006”. The print is called Decadence. I definitely will be getting one of these pairs! It also will be one I will buy!

This week they are celebrating the 10 years. We will have a few fun things for you guys as well! Don’t worry the new print is also available in Thong, Bikini, Sports Brief and Boxer. This means its more than likely available in your favorite style. However, since the CX01 Brief (I know I call it the bikini) is my personal favorite. Each is made out of the classic 95% Cotton 5% Spandex. This blend and construction is made to hold up very well over the years.

These went on Sale on Sunday and will be around for a limited time. Don’t miss out on this amazing pair. Once they are gone, they will be gone for ever.

A Celebration of 10 yearsIt’s hard to believe that Cocksox has been around 10 years! This week marks their anniversary. We at UNB have to say it couldn’t happen to a nicer brand. I have a long history with the brand. They are in my top 5 pouches of all time. Also, they have been amazing friends to UNB over the years.

In the world of underwear, being around 10 years is an amazing accomplishment. I occasionally look through old pictures and lists. There are more brands that are not around when UNB started. Than there are currently in business. When they came on the scene in 2006. I UNB was still a dream for me. I wrote for another underwear blog, that has since folded, and got my first pair of CX01 bikinis. It blew my mind. The pouch was the most amazing thing ever.

Over the next 10 years, they would branch out into more than the amazing CX01 Bikini. Over the last few years we have seen so much creativity from Cocksox. My personal favorites have been the fuschia cxo1 and the Leopard Jockstrap.  But really my list could go on and on. I have tried every style they have in underwear. Each of them fit great.

Let’s talk about that pouch. It still amazes me 10 years later that they have such an amazing pouch. There are no straps, contraptions or tricks to it. Its a natural fitting pouch that shows off everything you have. The first time I put them on I felt like the pouch was made just for me. Almost like it was a custom pair of underwear! Over the years they have refined the pouch, such as the CSX line. It was made not to have such an enhancing effect.

cx01N_cloud9whiteThe future holds some great things for Cocksox. I think we will see them do even more amazing things. They have matured as a brand and still sticks close to it’s roots. They have said they have some great things planned for this year. I can’t wait to see them! Go celebrate and put on your CX01 bikinis!

Page-2-Image-3We hope you are enjoying summer and rocking some great swimwear. There are still a few months left to Summer and if you haven’t bought your swimwear. Or if you just want some new pairs that people haven’t seen. The BCNU Utilty Wear Hero line maybe what you’re looking for in swimwear. BCNU is out of Australia and is a pretty cool company. They started in work out wear and last year brought out the first swimwear line. Now they have the Hero line.

I had the chance to talk to BCNU this past week. They have some great gear out there and I think we will see a lot more from them. The latest line is the Hero line. The Hero line has used the latest technology to make something pretty awesome. BCNU invested time and effort into meeting what their research showed.

Research indicates that 60% of Australian men do not feel comfortable wearing traditional swimwear. Most citing that the thin fabrics used, lack of reasonable hold and show through especially when coming out of the water, are the main reasons they would not wear traditional swimwear styles.

While we have plenty of guys who like to show off. If you’re new to swim briefs or want to wear them in a more family friendly area. Its important that you don’t show off everything. You don’t want to have the fabric go see through or not have support. But, you still want to look great in the swimwear. BCNU put in a lot of time and effort to create this new line. I”m seriously impressed by all the technology used in this line. We are starting to see more companies taking the technology of swimwear and underwear seriously.

So what makes this line so awesome? Here are  few reasons BCNU told us

  1. No more show through – constructed using 2 fabrics and over 7 months of design research and planning to create the perfect style to wrap around your body like a glove keeping your manhood nice and snug.
  2. Fast drying technology – Designed so that water passes through the first layer directly into the second layer which funnels out the water rapidly once you’re out of the water.
  3. SPF 100+ – Highest protection than any other swim product on the market today
  4. Cutting edge technology – using revolutionary Two Tone Double Layer Polyamide (2TDLP) construction and bonded using glue used in NASA spacesuits
  5. The advertising campaign imagery is inspired by Super Heroes. We hope this collection makes him feel heroic, invincible, daring and courageous.

Again, it’s great to see a company using some of the latest technology to make really great swimwear. The Hero line is one that is perfect starter pair for someone wanting to wear a swim brief. It will not show off or be see through. It’s fast drying and uses the latest technology in fabric and design. Lastly it will make you feel like a super hero!

The signature stamped “made in Barcelona” brand which is today present on five continents has closed Barcelona’s fashion week in one of the most anticipated events with its fashion show on the exclusive space One Ocean Port Vell on the quay.

For the occasion, ES Collection carried out a special casting based on the highest international standards to combine fashion with the most desirable physiques in the male sector.

2017 – ES Collection Swimwear collection: Kaleidos

This time science and fashion come together to create a chromatic journey through the consolidated style of ES Collection, coinciding with the celebration of its tenth anniversary.

Kaleidos is defined as a colour trip, in which science and fashion come together to create a collection full of prisms, light rays, reflexive and axioms which create the infinite range of colours. For our designer, Carmen Monforte, ES Collection presents its perception of how we interpret and allow to freely roam the fundamental basis of what we are: colour.

The collection is inspired in the work “Opticks”, a publication made by Isaac Newton in 1704 where aesthetics and culture are joined together based on the formation of images through lenses, spectral decomposition, and colour re-composition, which allowed to inspire on an innovative new language, generating fresh and modern expressions.

In line with our brand’s philosophy, Carmen Monforte is committed to using the highest quality fabrics and to the unprecedented design of our garments, seeking values which differentiate us, both innovatively and exclusively.

On this occasion, the brand is reinventing itself and has three clearly defined lines to offer different trends to all kinds of men. Kaleidos looks to reach back to the origins of ES Collection through colour and open up to a universal market coinciding with its tenth anniversary, with a sense of functionally renovating aesthetics.
