So what is Merino? Merino is some of the softest and finest wool on the market. It is commonly used in high performance athletic wear for it’s properties over synthetic fabrics. Those properties are regulating body temperature, draws moisture from the body, has antimicrobial abilities and an amazing warmth to weight ratio. (Info gathered from Wikipedia for Merino Sheep). Now that we know what Merino is let’s talk about the line!

This range is made for performance and comfort. aussieBum is one of those companies that loves to experiment with new fabrics. Until this range I was not aware of Merino wool. Although, after reading out the wool, it seems like this is a perfect fabric for underwear. It not only can keep you warm but keep moisture away from the body! I think this is pretty awesome!

So how does aussieBum describe the range:

Merino is world first in men’s underwear design incorporating a merino wool waistband. Innovation and functionality is what makes this a style leader in the field of thermal comfort. Absolute luxury in quality, fit and most importantly comfort. No expense has been spared in developing the world’s first Merino wool waistband that provides additional comfort in extreme heat and cold weather. Merino delivers where other brands have failed to deliver when using merino wool as its core fibre. If there is one style to have always in your underwear draw, we highly recommend ‘Merino’. The best of the best is comfort, quality and performance.

The range has the typical styles we know from aussieBum, the brief and hipster. The colors of the range are black and grey with a red aussieBum waistband. The fabric content is 94% Merino Wool, 6% Elastane. The brief retails for $28.34 and hipster is $29.34  at the aussieBum site

In Vegas this year I had the honor to finally meet up with the guys from Nasty Pig. I got a quick preview at what was coming and hope to bring you a lot more from them. Nasty Pig will be doing some great things! One of those great things is the Maverick line. The line has briefs, jocks and matching socks.

This is Nasty Pig’s first Sports Mesh line. Meaning it could be great gym wear! But we see more wearing them for every day wear! The bright colors and matching branded waistband. This collection looks really great and fun. Its a little more mainstream but that’s not a bad thing. As you can see from the pic above you can also still use in different situations.

Nasty Pig is no stranger to the world of jockstraps. I think some of their jocks have become synonymous to the fetish jock. These however are not fetish but more every day wear (I guess you could wear for fetish as well). The new jocks come in three colors. They are black, blue and green.

The briefs has a traditional design. They are a pouch brief with out a fly. Each of the colors has a solid color with an accenting pouch. The Blue and Green have a black pouch where as the black has a white pouch. All pairs are trimmed in white. Its a great design that I like.

The last thing are the socks. Each color has matching socks. Socks are gaining in popularity with underwear. A few brands are doing it but I think Nasty Pig was one of the first to do it. I can picture many of our readers lounging around on a weekend in one of these pairs and the socks.

You can find these pairs at the Nasty Pig website. The brief and jock each retail for $32. The socks retail for $16 each.

Bruin-1719WebTimoteo has a brand new collection out and it’s call the Magnitude Collection. It’s a very colorful collection that we love.

HG4A8355Teamm8 is known for making really really great pairs of underwear. The Medal and Touchdown are two lines that come to my mind. Now they have released the Stadium range. Stadium is is a mix of solid and stripes. Which may sound odd but Teamm8 really makes a fun and sexy pair!

The range has two different styles. Those styles are a brief and a a Trunk. The brief has four colors, where as the trunk only has two. The brief colors are Blue, Green, Navy and Pink. The trunk comes in blue and white. I have to admit I love the green and pink pairs in the brief. My favorite in the trunk is Blue.

This is the description of the Brief:

The stadium brief is sure to get you feeling in fine form with its comfortable blend of high quality cotton and elastane. Its wide metallic waistband feature complements the four solid colours that are available: navy, green, pink or blue. The distinct navy and white stripe print featured on the side panels of the blue and green briefs runs throughout the back in the pink and navy. The stadium collection gives you the confidence you need to separate yourself from the ordinary, without having to stray from stylish simplicity.

Thi sis the description of the Trunk:

The stadium trunk is created for optimum support with its comfortable blend of high quality cotton and elastane and euro-trunk square shape. Its wide metallic waistband feature complements the 2 solid colours that are available: navy or blue. The distinct navy and white stripe print is featured on both side panels, and runs all the way throughout the back. The stadium collection gives you the confidence you need to separate yourself from the ordinary, without having to stray from stylish simplicity

Both are out now! The brief retails for $35 AUD and the Trunk is $37 AUD. Shop the Teamm8 site for this and other pairs.

newjohnsieversOne of my favorite brands has some new underwear out. The John Sievers line from International Jock. There have been a few of us here who sing the praises of the brand. It’s well made and perfect for the guy who needs a good solid pouch. Its been a favorite of mine for over a year.

If a comfy, natural fit is what you look for in men’s underwear, give John Sievers a try! The all-new John Sievers Highlite brief is named after the thin stripe of color on top of the waistband – not to mention the way it ‘highlights’
your package!

EW0308 (1)I just love getting underwear from Ergowear to review. The pouch is one of my favorite. While I’m still making up my mind with the Feel line (read the past review). Its been one of my favorites in underwear for many years. The new pair I get to review is the Trio Brief. It was just released back when the new swimwear was released!

My first thing I love is the color. I’m a big fan of green underwear. Let’s face it we all have our favorite colors in underwear. This pair is a mix of green and blue! Its made as a bikini (but some may not call it a bikini, you know who you are out there). Meaning it’s a waistband about 1.5 inches thick with only a pouch and the back.

I wore this on a lazy day. I amdit it, I did absouletly nothing the day I wore these. I had high hopes that they would be an amazing lounge pair. You know we all need underwear that does well when active. Its equally important to have a great pair when you are having a day to veg and binge watch your favorite TV show or play video games.

When I slid them on I really loved the pouch. It felt great on and contained everything. The colors were also fun on! Let’s talk about this pouch. The front is just the pouch and the waist band. There is nothing on the sides. This can sometimes cause issues with the pouch loosing its shape. This pair never had any issues with that. It held everything together!

The materials felt good too. It’s not as amazing as the Sauve collection but still very good. The back could have been a bit bigger, it didn’t ride up but did ride up a little. So if you have a butt you may not like this pair.

We must talk sizing! As always if you go see their sizing chart you will have no problem finding the right size for you. Over the years they have been pretty consistent on the sizes they offer. I can’t remember anytime I have received something that wasn’t the size it was offered as (in inches that is).

Pros:

  • Its my favorite color green
  • Skimpy brief Cut
  • Great sizing

Cons:

  • Back may not fit all
  • The cut may be too skimpy to others

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 8
  • Overall – 8.6

This pair was furnished by Macondo Trading. You can find this pair at the Candyman Fashion site for $25.48

Thongs are now coming in may different hybrids. One of the most recent that comes to mind is the Jock Thong. Which I believe Andrew Christian made as well. Now he’s making the Blow Web Thong. What is that? It’s just as it says, the back is a web thong back!

Andrew Christian is no stranger to sexy thongs. Over the last few years thongs have been growing in popularity among guys. More and more companies are coming out with them. Andrew Christian has always done super sexy thongs. One of the most popular thongs has been the Spider Jock that has come out in a few collection. This pain has a full pouch, with the Blow waistband and straps in the back in the form the Web!

Here is what AC says about the pair:

With its unique and innovating thong style back and the addition of extra web strapping, our brand new BLOW! Web Thong Extra will flatter that ass like nothing you’ve ever seen. It features a slimming BLOW! Waistband for extra support and comfort for all day wear. Or all night. But, let’s be honest. You won’t be able to keep ’em on that long. When you pull them on, your package will fall naturally into the super soft snuggle pocket to create a truly enjoyable unique wearing experience. Like all of your favorite Andrew Christian underwear, they virtually eliminate sticking, squashing, re-adjusting, sweating and chafing and feature an anatomically correct pouch with fun snuggle fit. There’s almost too much to love in this limited edition new pair. Almost.

The pair comes in Black and Neon Yellow. It retails for $31.90 on the Andrew Christian Website.

Undies Monday is all about wearing something awesome! Its  staring the week in wearing something to make you feel comfortable and sexy at the same time. Underwear gives you some extra confidence when you wear something awesome. Cocksox is one of those brands that is awesome.

While in Vegas a few years ago they told us about some customer stories how awesome they feel wearing the Cocksox underwear. You can do this not in the classic bikini, the CX01, but in all their underwear. One of the new colorful fun pairs is the Trunk (CX68).

The new color designs tie in the pouch, body and trim/wasitband colors. The color combinations are super fun. No one may see these bright colors but you will know you are wearing it. The colors are Purple, Grey, Black, Blue and Green. The pouches on all the pairs is white and is the perfect accent to the color bodies.

Cocksox did an amazing job with these color combinations. The Trunk retails at the Cocksox site for $34.00
