We shot the UNB Swimwear Guide last weekend! It was a great shoot. We had two amazing models. One you know from our Holiday Guide, Drew! The other you have seen in some of our videos, Matt! Both did an amazing job. It was shot by Taylor Campbell again!
The day started around noon. We had JOR, Clever, Modus Vivendi and N2N Bodywear in this years shoot. Pictured above is some of the JOR swimwear. It was a very fun and quick day. We have some behind the scenes video coming and also the guide itself. Stay tuned for it’s release!
Rufskin always makes innovative and fun swimwear. This is the Flamingo. It is available in a few colors but we love the Fuchsia (also Dark Mint). The suit has a convex opening at the hip. It also comes with a contoured pouch that creates definition. Find this and the Dark Mint at the Rufskin site for $49
I love it when we find new brands for you guys. Today when I opened an email from His Jock they had a new brand called Code22. The colors and styles caught my eye and I had to investigate further! So I did what many of you guys do and Googled CODE 22 Underwear. The site came up. I hate it when we find a new brand but there is no website for them.
This is what CODE 22 has to say about the brand.
CODE 22 is an expression of defining men’s swimwear, underwear an sportswear design. CODE 22 gives meaning to the words balance, confidence and masculinity. CODE 22 is a concept born from the spirit of innovation and created for men who are in need of minimal yet elegant creations. Our mission is to find the balance between design, comfort and functionality.
Before conceptualising each collection we work around these three words, when developing each and every garment. We only use European materials to insure the highest quality standards. This is why every time you buy CODE 22 you will notice the time and dedication which has been put into each and every design.
The brand has really clean and colorful designs. The pairs they offer are jock, brief and trunk. These are the ones we are going to focus on. They also have a long john and full front boxer. Those are not available at this time. There is no store on the CODE 22 site yet. And His Jock has all the designs.
So let’s talk about the jock. The jock has matching color elastics. Meaning the same elastic is in the waistband and leg straps. The pouch is a solid color with a contrasting band at the top. It’s a really cool design the way they have implemented it. This is my favorite design
The brief and trunk have a similar design. The bottom is a solid color. Then you have a solid band of fabric and lastly is the waistband. There are three color combinations in all the styles. The colors are Blue/Red/White, Blue/White and Black/White. Its simple, clean and colorful.
The cost of the pairs is: Jock $26, Brief, $28 and Trunk, $31.50 at His Jock. I hope you guys check them out and we will see a lot more from them!
We love Go Softwear! They have some awesome underwear and also have been great friends to UNB. We hope you enjoy this picture! GO check out what Go Softwear has available!
Raw Studio Military Collection is here and it’s exclusive to Jockstrap Central! It’s a collection of military inspired fetish jockstraps, jock briefs and ball-lifters all made with a ridiculously hot army-green leather-look pvc fabric as it’s base. As with all Raw Studio, this is hand-crafted in Canada with exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail.
The Military Jock is certainly the most elaborate with a brief style front in the leather-look fabric with a textured metallic olive-gold stripe down the front and a military style star insignia on the right. Even better is the fabric has an ultra-soft backing which feels great against your junk. What’s most ingenious about this jock is it doesn’t have a traditional waistband. The front is entirely the pvc contoured pouch which continues around to the back, eventually becoming the upper part of the leg straps. A wide masculine 1.5 inch wide back elastic wasitband strap joins the gap above your ass and two more three quarter inch leg straps begin where the pvc ends off and joins the base of the front pouch. This not only looks incredible but ensures the perfect fit. It’s hard to describe so check out Jockstrap Central’s VERY detailed (and uncensored) photos on our website for more clarity.
The Recruit and G.I. Joe Jockstraps are a little more of what you’d consider a regular jockstrap. Both with a contoured pouch and both edged with black piping for style and added support. Recruit has a metalic olive-gold racing stripe and one and half inch waistband while G.I. Jock has a metalic pewter racing stripe, a three quarter inch swimmer style waistband and a military style star insignia on the right.
Maybe not the best (as they’re all pretty spectacular) but we’ve definitely saved the most fun for last: The Commando Ball-lifter is the evolution of Raw Studio’s original ball-lifter designs with a dual purpose of not only lifting up and pushing out to bulge under your outer clothes but also as some awesome looking gear that showcases (with style) everything you’ve got. The front is made with a distressed leather-look pvc fabric with an ultra-soft backing ensuring comfort. It’s contoured with a semi-circle cutout that edged in metallic pewter to highlights your junk. One inch black elastic runs down each side of the pouch then runs under your balls finishing off the circle lifting your junk up and out. There are no leg straps so the view from the back is strealined and sexy.
Jockstrap Central model (and porn star) Caleb King is modeling all the new gear and I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that many of the photos over at Jockstrap Central (especially the ones of the Commando Ball-lifter) are not safe for work.”
One of the new favorites here at UNB is the N2N Bodywear Studio Groove line. It’s the new print line and made out some some awesome prints. We can’t get enough of these prints.
Today we take a look behind the scenes from the Neon underwear line photo shoot by Modus Vivendi.

As you can imagine that being a “neon” line it brings together bright and loud colours in a variety of styles
It’s Jockstrap Wednesday! The day where we are supposed to wear a jock! Since you should wear a jock why not wear a super sexy one? The one we suggest is the Pistol Pete Cubic Jock. Its super sexy and will show off more than just your assets!
Jocks have come into their own in the last almost 10 years. Pistol Pete is taking risks with fabrics and colors and making something fun. Jocks are now part of fashion in the world of men’s underwear. They aren’t just made to wear during sporting activities.
Pistol Pete has a unique style that is all their own. This pair definitely has the Pistol Pete spin on it. The Cubic Jock is a black jock that has a mesh fabric. Its a unique fabric that has mesh circles. While not 100% see through, it will show off everything you are covering with the pouch.
The waistband is not too thick. It’s not a “traditional” brand, being 3 inches. It appears to be a little over an inch. The leg straps are more traditional. Meaning they are close to an inch wide. Some jocks have thinner leg straps but I think this works very well for this jock.
What would you wear this pair with? If it’s a Wednesday, I would say a suit would be an amazing thing to wear it under. We at UNB don’t think you should wear boring undies with a suit. It needs something fun and amazing under. Imagine how sexy you will feel with a mesh jock under your suit pants!
The Cubic jock is made out of a 95% POLY – 5% SPANDEX blend. It will conform to your body and fit great through out the day. The only color currently is black. If you are looking for a bright color, this is not the jock for you. If you’re looking for something sleek, sexy and fun. Buy it now!
We are super impressed by Todd Sanfield Collection. His new collection mixes both sexy and classic in one. Its very high quality and fashion! Make sure you see the collection.
Nasty Pig has released a new line. It’s called the 3D line! Nasty Pig still has a fetish side but it also has some mainstream underwear as well. I would consider the new 3D line as more mainstream. The cuts and fabrics are ones you could find in mainstream stores.
The new line is called 3D. The reason it is called that is because of the waistband. It has a 3D logo in the waistband. Which I personally like. It takes what could be considered a simple pair and makes it a bit more fun. Each of the pairs has this waistband. It also alternates depending on the color.
The 3D collection 2 styles. Those styles are the brief and jock. The jock is a pretty standard cut with Nasty Pig. It is one style that I think they are known best for making. The briefs are a traditional cut. The body is black and accent colors are blue and red. What makes this a traditional cut? The brief has the fly front with trim. It’s a new take on the tighy whitie.
One thing they have in this collection are socks. Socks have been getting bigger and bigger in the world of men’s wear. Each year more brands start making them. The best part of the socks for Nasty Pig is that they will match the underwear exactly. Which many of our readers love!
As noted above each the jock and brief come in two colors. They are red and blue. The main body of the pair is black and the color notates the different trim colors. The Jock and brief both retail for $29. The socks are $16 on the Nasty Pig site! If you have wanted to try Nasty Pig now is the chance to jump in and get a great pair of briefs or jock!
Everyone needs some great new Tee’s. This week’s $12 Tuesday is the Light Yoga Tee. You can stock up on some one of the best tee’s on the market. Shop at the Baskit site.
Cheapundies.com has some really great undies. Including their own! This is a mix of behind the scenes with models Rodiney Santiago and Colby Melvin. Make sure you check out Cheapundies.com daily!
This past Saturday we shot the UNB Swim Guide for 2016. It was a great day and we shot Drew Ater, from our Holiday guide (pictured here) and model Matt Josbena (from our videos). We will have it released later this month!
We needed a “go bold” pair for this Swimwear Sunday. Something that is definitely not tame or will let you blend in the crowd. The pair we chose this week is the Cocksox Bird of Paradise Swim Brief. Right away you know, being Cocksox, it’s going to show off what you have!
This is their classic CX02 swim brief. It’s one of their first styles of swimwear they ever released. Its a bikini cut with the original Cocksox pouch. Personally it’s one of my favorite pouches of underwear/swimwear. It’s one of the most supportive around, it just fits amazing. The pouch will also show off everything! The pouch doesn’t have c-rings or anything to make it do what it does. It’s just the amazing pouch they created.
If the pouch didn’t scare you off, I don’t think that the print will either. The Birds of Paradise print is just as the name implies. It’s the Birds of Paradise flower with a green background. It’s a very subtle print that gives you a tropical feel without being totally cheesy. It’s masculine and floral at the same time. How often can you say that?
I think this pair would be a conversation starter on the beach. Why? Because its not a print you will see many people wearing in the states. I think you will have a lot of people asking where you got it and how can they get it. I have started to see a lot more Cocksox underwear in the states but we are lacking wearing the swimwear.
The fabric is 80% Polyester 20% Lycra. Which will be very comfortable to wear as swimwear each day. The print is an exclusive for Cocksox. This means you won’t see other companies use it. It’s also fast drying, which is a very important thing in the world of swimwear. The Birds of Paradise Swim Brief retails for $42 at the Cocksox website.
JOR has their new 2016 line out and I have to say, I am very impressed. I was first introduced to JOR through one of the underwear of the month clubs. I fell in love and they are keeping that romance going with this new line. *swoon*
First off, love the color swatch. It is mostly all very pastel colors, slightly muted but they make an impact. They remind of the typical nerdy girls who are always behind a book in old 80s and 90s Rom-Coms. Then the main character takes a second look and it’s like, BAM! I really dig all of the light yellow, grey and pink. And then the bold blue makes a nice break from it all. Well done JOR!
Now let’s talk about the thing that I find fascinating: the thongs. Especially the Mediterraneo thong. I feel like the best way to describe it is that the top part, with the waist band looks trunk like. It has a fascinating square cut that I keep scrolling back up to (on the website). It’s new, it’s fresh, it’s eye catching. Did I mention that I’m a fan? Plus you can get it in such interesting colors.
The other thongs in the line don’t disappoint either. The Soft Thong has a similar but lesser played look that I looks great too.
And then of course there are the assless briefs. I know I already swooned but I mean, come on. These have such a perfect cut going on. Assless briefs can have a few different ways to do the cut in the back. There can be fabric underneath the waist band in the back. There can be thicker straps with piping, and there can be slightly odd squared off sides, to name a few. These ones (the Soft Jockstraps) have the first part with a slightly lighter piping and no odd squares! They frame the bum like the work of art it is. The Electro Jockstrap DOES have the heavier. Contrasting piping for those who really want to highlight the rear (rawr!).
For color lovers, for design lovers, for UNDERWEAR lovers in general, this is an extremely intriguing and playful line. I am so excited to see this hit the stores and even more excited to see it hit some bodies out there.
New N2N Bodywear new collection is out. This is the new Studio Groove collection. This is one of the hottest prints of the year! We love what they have done!

The time has come for Modus Vivendi to show its Summer 2016 swimwear collection! The first of many exciting new lines is called Neon and comprises men’s swimwear in four distinctive styles to suit every taste: briefs, brazil cut boxers, boxer briefs and boxer shorts. All four styles come in three vibrant colours: neon aqua, neon fuchsia and neon yellow. Setting the trends this summer, Modus Vivendi’s Neon Line, stands for eye catching colours in classic swimwear styles.
The official campaign for this line was photographed by P2Photography in Chalkidiki, a beautiful region of Northern Greece known for its stunning beaches and breathtaking landscapes. Model Sotiris Thomaidis was called upon to pose in the new Neon Swimwear and the shots, we think, are amazing!
It’s fair to say that men’s fashion is a growing trend, with many more of us guys taking the time to dress ourselves, defining our style and creating our ‘image’ as we want others to see it.
Understandably more so now, our underwear choice is just as important to that style we create than ever before. Possibly down to the fact that our pants are on show to the world more now than in the past.
I’m sure it’s been noticed in the office whether a guy is wearing some fitted briefs and is showing some jaw-drooling VPL framing a perfectly formed ass. But the exposure doesn’t just stop there.
This month sees the addition of a new and different collection entirely for the British Brand, Bum-Chums, who are challenging these beliefs and testing it with 2 styles of underwear in their new “Closet Collection”.
Possibly named so for a couple of reasons; maybe their colourful and brand-less elastic waistband bringing colour and variety to the underwear wardrobe, or possibly due to their absence of a branded waistband, which identifies all of their other pants.
This new “Closet Collection” sees the introduction of two new styles of underwear, including the “Purple Rain” and the “Blue Eyed Boy”. Available in their Signature Brief and Hipster designs, this collection also has included a Thong, in response to their recent online customer survey on social media.
Craig, founder at Bum-Chums, told us that “Customers have contacted us asking for more variety within the underwear collections, and we had several requests for a couple of more discreet designs. We took a look at what we were doing and decided that we’d introduce a ‘locker-room friendly’ collection for people who might be conscious of their underwear brands in the changing room at the gym. Not everyone is as comfortable as you or I in wearing Bum-Chums in front of other guys”
This theory may be about to be put to the test with the two styles online now to buy at Bum-Chums today.
The Purple Rain is a nice touch of bright Purple Polyamide fabric with the addition of a striped Purple decorative waistband. Seemingly in homage to the passing of a late, great hero, Prince, the Purple Rain is available in the Bum-Chums signature briefs and hipsters as standard, but also with the introduction of a waistband finished Thong to boot.
In addition and in contrast, the pastel Blue addition of the “Blue Eyed Boy” Style gives a subtle colour suggestion to the collection. The pale blue styles are also available in briefs, hipsters and thongs, all finished with a blue striped and brand-less elastic waistband.
It’s an interesting point that the quirky gay-brand “Bum-Chums” have made and we’d love to see the results of these tests being run. However, the non-branded waistband certainly does prove a locker-room friendly option for their pants for guys who may not be comfortable sporting a gay brand in public or in front of other guys. It also brings a bit more variety to their growing collections.
Either way, these British made pairs of underwear are reasonably priced and available online at Bum-Chums today and the guys there reminded us that you receive 15% discount on your first order when you sign up to their newsletter and for those who have signed up already but not received your discount code… You can use this one until the 13th May: OURBAD

If you are a fan of bikinis, you no doubt know about the Billy line from aussieBum. Over the years they have created solids (in bright and reg colors), prints and more with the line. The latest release is the Touch range in the Billy line. So what makes this line so special?
“Billy Touch takes comfort to the next level, matching the renowned Billy lightweight shape with a super-smooth nylon elastane blend. Soft to the touch and soft on your skin – this could be the most comfortable underwear you ever buy!” So aussieBum says!
This is one of the best bikini lines on the market. aussieBum was one of the first to really get behind the bikini and bring out a continuous line that grows each season. The previous lines have been cotton based this time they are moving to a Nylon blend. It was a bit of a surprise when I read it. But from all indications it’s an amazing blend.
The current collection comes in two colors. They are Chocolate and Coffee. I hear you guys going, it’s that brown and brown. Yes, but one is a really dark brown and the other is a lighter (the coffee). The both pairs has a darker trim on the waistband and leg openings.
I really am looking forward to seeing what they do to the Billy line for the next iteration. It has become one of the consistent lines they release. As I have said few companies are making true bikinis any more. I hope as the style continues to grow in popularity we will see a lot more of them. aussieBum has always created sexy and fun underwear!
If you are interested the Billy Touch retails for $17.75 on the aussieBum site. As they say “If you doubt yourself wear something else.”
