The Cheapundies.com performance tights are selling out on the site. They are an amazing deal. This is Colby Melvin in the performance tights.
aussieBum has released a new range. It’s called the CottonHill. aussieBum says this about the range. “Inspired by the sun-drenched, rolling green vistas of CottonHill, this new underwear range is durable, ultra comfortable and easy on the eye. Made with a 1×1 Ribbed cotton for superior fit and style. Understated, tonal marle and a classic branded waistband make this a product range no wardrobe is complete without!”
The new CottonHill range is very classic in it’s design. The two styles available are the brief and the hipster. Both are standard styles in the aussieBum range. The pair has a new waistband from aB. It’s a branded band with aussiebum written around the band with no spaces. It’s actually pretty cool band.
The CottonHill range is made out of 100% cotton. They have gone old school on this line. Most pairs we cover are a blend of fabrics. Usually mixing in a spandex or other fabric to increase the stretch of the pair. The colors available in both styles are Red, Blue and Greymarle. All three are classic colors in the world of underwear.
What do we think of this pair? I think every guy needs some classics in his collection. There are times you may not want to wear something more revealing. This line is definitely in the classic range of underwear. I hear many of you out there are saying that classics are boring. We beg to differ. When done right classics are super sexy. The things to look for in a classic, which this pair has, are fit, fabric and colors. The fit should be great and not loose it’s shape while wearing. Next the fabric has to be high quality. And lastly there needs to be more than just white.
So where can you find this pair? It can be found on the aussieBum site for most people, unless you’re lucky enough to live near a store who stocks aB.

The Hand Me Down collection from C-IN2 is one of the most comfortable pairs right out of the box. When you slide them on for the first time it will feel like it’s been in your collection for years. We hope this line stays around for while to come! C-IN2 just released a new stripe line in the Hand Me Down Collection.
Who is a fan of Camo? Camo is a trend that is big in men’s underwear. However, there are many out there who are not a big fan of the print. teamm8 has done something new with camo. They have released the Defence line! The Defence line is a new take on the world of Camo.
How is a new take? Glad you asked! Its a camo inspired print. Meaning they took the camo idea and expanded on it. The print looks like pixelated print. This makes it so you can see the inspiration but also is different from other camo prints on the market. If you didn’t want to look as is you were about to go duck hunting in your underwear, this print is for you. It’s not a literal print.
I really like how they did the print. Its also available in more than just green. The colors available are Sunny Lime, Honeysuckle (Pink, not available in the trunk) and Blue Radiance. The design adds to the line. The brief has a solid color pouch and the rest of the pair is the camo print. The trunk has a solid color pouch surrounded by white panels and the camo print is in the back. The constrasting trim and branded metallic waistband set the pair off nicely.
Both pairs in the collection are made out of a 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane blend. Meaning it will be comfortable and conform to your body. This blend will be great for wearing to work, around town and even the gym. teamm8 makes great fitting and looking underwear!
My favorite pair in the line is the Pink brief. It isn’t a pastel but a brighter pink. Mix the pink in with the print and I think it’s a total winner. That being said I think the entire line is pretty awesome. Find these pairs on the teamm8 website!

We are back again with an episode of UNB Public Broadcasting Pledge Week! We aren’t going to promise you DVD’s and Tote bags and we won’t interrupt your content. But we do need your support and help to with UNB! We have had a few of your join and Thanks a lot to you! But we can always use more support!
Whey are we doing a Crowd funding/Patreon?
I have said it many times I hate ads in the stream of the blog. It just annoys me. Also, my big pet peeve lately is going to a site and having a video ad just spring up from no where and you can’t mute it or close it. It really ruins the reading experience. Lastly, is a site where there is one thing on a page and you have to click through over 10 pages to finally get the list. Our ads are less intrusive. Since the redesign they are all on one side and for companies you guys like and may shop from. So they should be highly relevant to you guys.
Next, is sponsored content. I am not a fan of this. I don’t knock any blog for doing it but I think its not for UNB. The only thing we charge for is a photo shoot for a brand to pay for the cost of the models/photographer. But not to put it on the site. I want you guys to know we are talking about our passion and we’re not paid to promote something we may not like.
We feel that this method of asking our readers is the best way to get additional funding. If you find value in what we do and want to see us improve and move to the next level, then think about donating. I have said it before if we had 25% of readers give just $1 we would have some money to do some great things.
Whats in Patreon for you if you donate?
We are always trying to make our levels rewards better! Here are a few of them.
- All levels get previews of shoots we will be releasing
- Levels over $5 will be in our closed Slack group where you can talk to other Patreon members and the UNB staff. You can talk directly to us!
- Level over $25 you can get a personal underwear recommendation from UNB
- Levels over $50 you get to be on a quarterly Skype/Hangout call with the Editor-In-Chief to find out more about the site and give input/ask questions about the site.
Can I remain Anonymous?
Of course you can! You can go by a pseudonym on the site and through Patreon. You will have to give Patreon your real name and info for payment purposes. However we just see what Pseudonym in our list. If you don’t want to be listed on the site just let us know and we can put Patreon 1, Patreon 2, and etc. We respect your privacy and will never sell or give your info to anyone by joining the Patreon.
What are you doing with the funds from Patreon?
We aren’t going to use this to throw parties and have fun with it. Running a blog the size of UNB costs money. We have hosting costs that we need to cover every month. Also we want to invest in new technology. Such as a video camera to improve our videos. New computer for the blog to aid in video editing and produce the blog. A rainy day fund for when we have issues like in March, the server going down, we can hire someone to fix it. Right now yours truely is the IT director of the site. Granted I have learned a great deal but there are times when I’m stumped. And WordPress and IT professionals aren’t cheap. Lastly, are shoots featuring new models and brands! Some we can have more of a creative spin with and mix brands together.
How do you Donate?
Again, Glad you asked! You can go to the UNB Official Patreon page and sign up. You can put in what ever amount you wish to donate. We have ours set up to do once a month! Its easy peasy.

This is a new brief from Andrew Christian call the Palm Brief. I really love the print and colors. I’m not a big florescent color guy but something about this just pops. The thing I think I like best is the print is against a black background. If it had been a while background It wouldn’t have the same effect.

One of the core lines of C-IN2. It is one of the most comfortable lines that C-IN2 makes. If you’re not familiar with the Hand Me Down line let me break it down for you! Do you have a great pair of underwear that you have had for years? One that is well worn and broken in and fits just right? If you said yes, that is what this line is, a pair that has fabric that feels broken in.
This may sound odd. C-IN2 has a way of creating the fabric that feels amazing. I have tried the line and love the feel. It’s not stiff or too binding. You know how some new undies may feel. You need to wash them a few times before they fit just right.
The new Hand Me Down is a stripe fabric. Stripes I feel aren’t quite a trend in the world of underwear yet. They have been around but not really taken off like prints or the color pink. Stripes definitely have a following. This line has a main color with a constrasting color. For instance the the red has a contrast of a heather/grey. My personal favorite is the green/grey! It just pops for me and I love green.
The colors in the line are: Playing Field Heather (green/grey), Letterman Heather (Gold/Purple), Albers Grey Heather (red/grey) and Victory Heather (blue/black). All of these are great combinations and will brighten up your underwear drawer.
The Hand Me Down comes in some of the classic C-IN2 styles. They are the Profile Brief, Lo No Show Profile Brief, Runner Boxer and Lo No Show Army Trunk. The only one I don’t think most will like is the Runner Boxer. Not a lot of our readers like undies cut like a boxer. However, I could see this as a pair for around the house. The pairs retail from $22 for the briefs and $26 for the Boxer/Trunk.
Find the Hand Me Down Line on the C-IN2 site. See all the colors below in each of the styles
aussieBum has a new swimwear line called Spacedye! “Sail away from the standard swimwear fabric and dive into aussieBum latest yarn dyed quality Italian Lycra blend fabric. A quality durable fabric that will always have you look and feel fresh this summer. Inspired by the islands of Greece, a perfect colour combination for any moderate to tan person. The cut is a classic vintage style with a scent of modern curve. Enjoy yourself in this strictly limited edition design today.”
Find it at the aussieBum site for $33.25
2(X)IST just has a fun time designing undies. You can tell that with their new collections. The latest is the Graphic Cotton collection. Prints have been huge in the world of men’s underwear and continue to be strong this year. I think they are here to stay actually!
The new collection maybe a bit different when you see it. Last August when I got to sit down with 2(X)ist at Magic. They showed me this collection. Right away I loved the bold prints they produced for the collection. I wanted them right then! However, but what happens when you are not a big print fan? Are you left out of the line?
Nope! The collection has the prints you see above and ones where it’s a solid and the print is on the waistband. I thought this was genius. Some times you feel like a print and sometimes you don’t, or something like that. This allows the line to reach a broader audience. Believe it or not we have some readers who are not fans of prints. They like more classic colors and cuts. To them putting on something above is a big NO! However, if its the waistband some will definitely go for that!
The collection is available in two cuts. Those cuts are the No-Show brief and trunk. Again both classic cuts for 2(X)ist. And I would dare to say two of their best! Both pairs are made out of a 95% Cotton / 5% Spandex blend. This will give you the breathability of cotton and some stretch from the spandex. The brief retails for $24 and Trunk is $28.
What are the colors: Saffron Zigzag, Safron, Flame Scarlett Zigzag, Dress Blue, Black Fractal Chevron, Bittersweet, Dazzling Fractal Chevron and Dazzling Blue (pictures are in this order below). Each print correlates with a solid color. This is pretty genius by 2(X)ist. See the pictures of both styles below.
Find this at the 2(X)IST site or your favorite retailer!
Timoteo worked with Model Elvis Rivera on shot some of the new Timoteo swimwear collection landing in retails stores this week. All the new swim looks great on Elvis, especially the Rio green and black zigzag. Also included in these shots are the very popular Timoteo Daytona shorts in green and blood orange, these are super comfortable and a favorite of the model.
It’s Jockstrap Wednesday! So today we feature the Cellblock 13 Locker Jock. Which is modeled by David Benjamin! Plus we can’t help but mention the awesome Cellblock 13 socks! Enjoy your Jockstrap Wednesday
We are big fans of Obviously here at UNB. Myself and Salvatore both love the ergonomic pouch of the line! Obviously released the AnatoMAX Colours – Downtown Collection. This collection will be a most welcome addition to any ergonomic pouch lover!
If you’re not familiar with the brand we think you should be and not for the pouch! They pay attention to the fabric as well. All the pairs I have ever owned have been amazing. The fit and comfort is top notch! Here is a blurb from their site and it sums up everything nicely about the band.
“Our meticulously engineered anatomical pouch design is what places our brand at the forefront of the underwear market. In order to provide you with the ultimate in superior quality of underwear we have chosen to use nothing but the finest natural fabrics – Bamboo Rayon and Licensed Lenzing Modal. These fabrics allow us to create underwear that is perfect to convey the feeling of softness, durability and support. Our fabrics have significant health benefits over regular cotton and synthetic underwear fabrics, they are highly UV resistant, non Genetically Modified (GM), sustainable and environmentally friendly”
If you aren’t familiar with the AnatoMAX line, below is the official description.
“AnatoMAX is the most recent pouch release and it is the largest pouch design available from Obviously. It provides a naturally shaped, anatomical pouch with MAXimum size, MAXimum space and MAXimum comfort. For those customers who previously enjoyed the Modal Range anatomical pouch – AnatoMAX is for you.”
The Downtown is available in 4 new colors. Featuring Mint, Flint Blue, Slate and Red Brick – the Downtown collection provides a stylish and energetic addition to the underwear of any guy braving the concrete jungle. The Downtown Collection is made from Obviously’s custom blend of MicroModal and Lycra and comes in 8 popular styles:

When I think of Sukrew, I picture amazing pouch and some great smaller styles. So imagine when I was looking through their Twitter and noticed a longer boxer brief. It made me do a double take. The pictures made them look super sexy. They do a few things I love in a boxer brief. It’s a longer cut and has the Sukrew pouch!
You maybe going “you are not a boxer brief fan.” This is true but the above mentioned things make me really like a pair of Boxer Briefs. I really enjoyed the Sukrew brief pouch. Its one of the best ones on the market. Definitely in my top 10. These look to have that same pouch!
The Boxer Briefs are part of the Sprint style. It comes with the pouch and the U style. The U Style is the pair without a pouch and gives you the feeling of hanging free. This has been in all their designs since the start. I have tried the U style but prefer the full pouch. However, there are many of you out there who love the mix of full undies but letting it all hang out. I would be lying if I didn’t say the Sprint U style has me interested. Something about having that much coverage but being that free.
Sukrew does an awesome job with fabric. The Main Fabric: 95% Polyamide 5% Elastane and Small Panels: 85% Polyamide 15% Elastane for the Jake. The briefs I have feel amazing when I wear them! I would expect nothing less with these
There are three different colors of the the Sprint. It’s available in both styles.
White – Joey – White body with Sukrew blue print fabric
Red/Black – Jake – Red body with black mesh sides and pouch
Sapphire – Topaz – Blue body with a slightly see through Sukrew white print
They all retail for £29.99 at the Sukrew site.
We just received pictures from Marcuse. They have such amazing pictures. This is their Summer Collection16, featuring model Jai Lee by photographer Russell Fleming. We will have more about the collection for you very soon!
I was going through a lot of old pics from over the years. I am finally going back to create an archive of pictures UNB has received over the years. The first batch was from 2008-2011. I put them all in an iPhoto library. This was one of the pictures I wanted to share! It was shot by Tom Cullis and features the Timoteo Rugby line. It’s a few years old but still an amazing picture!
Spring is here. Ok it’s nearly here and first off the mark with another new release for this year is that quirky little British Brand Bum-Chums again. This time they’re releasing another new design but in a completely new cut for them. Calling it the Bermuda Cup, this long leg trunk piece is a lot of pants for the pennies. Bum-Chums is launching this new design in a re-vamp of some past favourites as a limited run ahead of new styles coming in for the Spring/Summer 2016 collections.
We caught up with Craig from Bum-Chums who said “we were asked if we’d ever bring back some of the more popular old prints we had and that’s just what we’ve done. As well as adding some stock to the specials, we’ve decided to merge the old with the new. Giving a new style entirely at the same time as spring cleaning the fabric store to make room for the new fabrics!”
Craig added, “We really try to listen hard to our customers and hear what they have to say and learn what they want from our brand too. There are still new designs to make such as a more structured bum-boxer, it’s still on our list, but we did hear you!”
The Bermuda Cup design seems to do what it says on the tin, with a trunk style design the length of the 90’s Bermuda Shorts, combined with a cupped and sculpted front pouch, lifting the manly assets then sculpting the rear with their signature bum-chums curved back seam. From memory, Bum-Chums held a vote on their social media channels asking their followers for input for this design before it was made… Not often would you see a brand brave enough to actually do this and hats off to them for having the balls to get their customers involved.
The long legs are finished a hand-span above the knee and edged with a 1cm finished binding and a 1cm on the top binding surrounding the cup, for that extra lift. The pouch itself has a decorative cover stitching down the front, single panel thickness to allow extra stretch and sexiness and is sculpted to be filled in all the right places.
We wonder if this new design will give rise to more cupped designs, maybe in a much shorter, more-skimpy cut just for contrast… Watch this space… Or better still, as they’re listening, why not get involved and make it your brand too.
The three new styles in the Bermuda Cup Collection are set to be the “Snake Bite”, the “Tropic” and the “Barcode”.
Styles are online and available for you go get your hands on now and because of their limited availability will be available only at www.bum-chums.com prices are set at an introductory special price of £19.99 and as they’re limited editions, they will never again be repeated.
I was going to profile a nice calm pair of swim briefs. Ones that are more low key and relaxed. I was thinking a simple black brief, which is classic! However, as my week went on I wanted something with a little more pop in them. So it got me thinking who has some great new swimwear? Then I remembered that JOR just released a brand new line!
There are so many great pairs from JOR. It will grace Swimwear Sunday more than once. The pair I chose this week is the Ibiza Swim Briefs. The Ibiza is a print with a blue background. The image features the great island of Ibiza! Match that with the blue sky and it’s a conversation starter for sure! Made out of Polyester 13% Spandex blend with a hidden draw cord waist.
Swimwear should be a bit different than our underwear. You have to admit it’s flattering when someone comes up and asks about your swimwear. “Who made that suit?” “Where did you get that amazing swim suit?” We are sure if you wear this pair you will be asked those questions. That is because prints are big in swimwear. They have been carried over from underwear I believe. Guys just want to express themselves in different way.
One more thing about the pair. We have to turn you around. The back has the print and says “Welcome Summer.” I love this touch! It just adds to the conversation factor! JOR is all about fun!
How is sizing? The sizing chart states that a Small is 28-30, Medium 30-32, Large 32-34 and XL 34-36. Its not a traditional underwear size but it’s comparable to most undies. I wished it came in more sizes on the larger end.
If you are interested in this pair you can find it at your favorite store or online at Candyman Fashion for $45.48
