Its Thong Thursday and I have 5 suggestions to make it a fun day! You maybe going, “Yeah but you’re a big thong lover.” I’m not one who normally wears thongs.” You would be wrong! I love underwear and briefs are my favorite thing. But, there are several thongs I love and would recommend for Thong Thursday

87404-27-far-front

Gregg Homme Torrid Thong  – Gregg Homme is the king of sexy and wearable underwear. The Torrid thong is one that is small but super comfy. When you take it out for the first time you will go “No way that will fit me.” The fabric will stretch and feel amazing all day. Available in 10 colors and retails for $26.95

2(X)ist Essential Y Back Thong – This is the classic thong when I think of thongs! This was one of the first thongs I ever bought. The Y-Back design is super comfortable and fits amazing. Made out of cotton with a great pouch. Available in a two pack either white or black. Retails for $22

VU2-13-Full

N2N Bodywear Vintage G – The vintage collection from N2N has become a favorite. The super soft fabric feels amazing against your skin. In addition to the fabric they make it with the awesome nhance pouch! The vintage line is made out of a muted color tones. Available in three colors and retails for $19.00

Kiniki Henley Classic Thong –A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of trying Kikini for the first time in a few years. Their thongs come in amazing prints. I won’t go into all the great things about Kiniki thongs but you can read the review I did! If you are a fan of prints this is the line for you. I choose the Henley but you can go with any one of them because I couldn’t pick them all! Retails for £15.90

cx05-melon-1

Cocksox CX05 Thong – The last thong I recommend trying is the Cocksox thong. Why? Because just about anything from them makes me feel super sexy. Its especially good at showing off the front and the back! The last reason I love it is the supplex fabric they use in their underwear. Its soft, conforms to your body and holds up great! So it’s a win-win in the thong department. Available in 7 colors and retails for $25.00.

Here are some recommendations for Thong Thursday. I’d love to hear your favorite thongs and why you love them!

15_Smailin_MichaelCheck out this new company out of Berlin. Its a new line of organic underwear! Here is some info on this new an amazing brand:

G&A – ORG&ANIC INNERWEAR is a sustainable organic underwear label for males from Berlin, Germany. We showcased the first collection at the Ethical Fashion Show during the Berlin Fashion Week from 8th till 10th of July 2015.

G&A produces and distributes sustainable underwear made from organic cotton with respect and responsibi- lity for Mother Earth and in a socially responsible and fair manner. Designed in Berlin and produced in India, our products create the sexy alternative for all those out to save the world.

G&A – No Guilt Inside

WHY ORGANIC COTTON

About 25 percent of the world’s insecticide use and more than 10 percent of the world’s pesticide goes to cotton crops. In 2003, that amounted to about 55 million pounds of pesticides being sprayed on 12.8 million acres of cotton, according to the Organic Trade Association. Some of these chemicals are considered to be the most toxic chemicals in the world. The health risks of pesticide exposure include birth defects, reproductive disorders and weaker immune systems.

In many countries, cotton is still hand picked; therefore anyone working in those fields is exposed to extreme amounts of toxic chemicals. The chemicals can also affect others in the community once they have seeped into the water supply. With so many products made from cotton, we are all exposed to these chemicals at some point. Even some baked goods, cookies and salad dressing contain cottonseed.

S.O.S – SUSTAINABLE · ORGANIC · SEXY

With our products you don’t have to choose between sustainability and sexiness, we aim for both. G&A means lifestyle for underneath, on top, indoors and outdoors – so go and get busy. With our fair and socially and eco- logically responsible underwear you can „guiltlessly“ set off on any adventure or simply live your day-to-day life – thanks to the “peace-of-mind effect” that saves you from a guilty conscience…

TRANSPARENZ

Transparency is important for us. We regularly travelled to India for two years to find the right partners. Trust plays an important role. All producers along the supply chain work according to the GOTS standard and most of them also hold other certifications. We can provide our buyers and partners with these standards and certifications.

The motto of our partner Pranav Khanna (founder and owner of frajorden) has inspired and motivated us. We respond to his appeal: change is simple – be the change!

THE CONCEPT

Buy less, but buy the right things. G&A has developed a collection of fourteen different underpants – enough to meet the needs of all men, whether they are saviours of the world, fetish lovers or heroes – but, boys, please wash them every so often – thanks! Act with sustainability in mind but still be sexy.

ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES

Sustainable Lifestyle: our fabrics are made from 100% organic cotton; they are produced in India according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification scheme and are dyed using natural colours. In addition to sustainability, what’s important for us is to treat our staff fairly and in a socially responsible way while paying them fair wages.

#SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Back to India. G&A produces in Kolkata and it is our desire to give some parts of the profit that come from each sold item back to India. We support the NGO „Voice of the Poor“ in Kolkata and also two kids of families in need. G&A covers all school fees, the educational materials and meals. We constantly communicate with the kids and their families, regularly visit them and spend unforgettable moments together.

Crafted using the finest Micro Modal fibres in Australia and treated with an acid wash to create a splash stain and revealing finish. ‘Used’ takes voyeurism right up to the point of no return, though not stepping over the line. For others its about the imagination and authenticity. ‘Used’ delivers quality, style and comfort with a sexy twist for the rugged man.

2EROS makes some of some the hottest swimwear on the market. Why is this? It’s because Jason at 2EROS really steps outside the box and creates interesting patterns with the fabric. He never sticks to rules of what should be swimwear. Its he starts with a clean slate and then creates awesome swimwear we have never seen! The new Viper is one of those pairs. Unknown-37

The Viper comes in two color combinations black or silver. Each one has orange and white accents. However, the white is something they have done on a few of their pairs. When the white fabric gets wet it becomes see through. To many out there its a relieve that it isn’t anywhere that would show off too much. The white is on the hips and around the top of the back. So you won’t be showing off all your business to everyone! I have a feeling we have readers who wouldn’t mind showing off!

The back is as sexy as the front. The main color covers most of the back but at the top there is a small orange band that runs across the back with the white mesh as the top. Wearing this pair will guarantee you will attract attention. One because it’s super sexy and second people will be asking where you got the pair!

Other things that 2EROS is known for in the pair are: The back has the faux leather label. This has been around in a few pairs of swim that 2EROS produces. Made out of 3 different fabrics with a front lining. Lastly it has the 2EROS toggles on the draw string and a rubber logo on the front!

This pair is available on the 2EROS site for $64.95 AUD for either the sliver or black!

undiesmondays
Let’s face it how many of us actually look forward to Monday? Anyone? I didn’t think so, no one is happy for Monday to come rolling around. Many of us spend the weekends in our swim briefs by a pool/beach or lake. Others to out to Fetish nights and wear the stuff we wish we could wear during the week. Lastly there are those who just want to hang in their undies all weekend and relax.

We have a blast over the weekend and then reality makes us come crashing back to earth to be a responsible adult again. So what are we to do? We want to start #undiesmondays. Which is to wear a fun pair of underwear every Monday. Fun depends on your definition. It could be a thong, trunk, bikini or anything that makes you feel awesome. This pair could be something you may not wear a regular basis or one of your favorites.

We all know great underwear gives you a bit of confidence. It can change your mood and put a smile on your face. We hear many of you guys with similar stories all the time, so why not start doing this every Monday. It will give us something to look forward to on Monday morning.

Starting next Monday Tweet us or Instagram us with hashtag #undiesmondays and tell us what you are wearing!

 

UnderwearNot all of our readers are experienced in the world of underwear. We get many new guys wanting to know what’s out on the market. They maybe currently wearing boxers, tighty whites  or six packs from a big box store.  But they yearn for something way better! If you are that guy this post is for you!

Step 1: Find out what style you want to wear. I would suggest if you are a tighy whities I would suggest buying a brief. If you wear six pack boxer briefs or boxers I’d suggest a Boxer Brief/Trunk. It would be the closest to what you are currently wearing and not a big jump to something crazy. Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t get a thong or jock but you may want to dip your toe in underwear waters slowly.

Step 2: Pick a brand to buy. There are hundreds of underwear companies out there. And more enter the market every month and it can seem overwhelming if you don’t know what exactly you would like. Hell, look at this blog and all the pairs we cover. I can’t keep up at times! If you’re just starting out I would suggest going with a classic underwear company like Calvin Klien, 2(X)ist or C-IN2. The latter two each have basic lines that are classic cut and colors. CK has many lines that are classic styled but and they don’t do too many wild colors.

Step 3: Pick a spectrum of color. Now that you have narrowed down the brands you want it’s time to pick color. You can stick to classic colors (Black, Grey and White) or you can branch out. When I started with underwear I went wild for colors. It was 4-5 years before I even bought a white pair. I grew up on tighy whities and the last thing I wanted was white! But this is not everyone. If you have a job where you change at work or  at the gym. You probably would be best served getting a black or white. Very few pay attention to these colors in the locker room. Now sport a pink or orange brief and you may turn a few heads.

Step 4: Buy a pair of underwear! Now that you figured out the style, brand and color its time to go buy. You can go to an underwear store or department store in your area. But I remember when I was buying undies and would get embarrassed that the clerk would think of me buying a bikini. After a while I realized most really don’t care and just ring it up. If you are a bit skittish we suggest buying from one of the big retailers such as Mensunderwearstore.com or International Jock. They have big selections and you will be able to find a pair that meets your criteria. If you want to support a smaller online store buy from them such as Drawerfull, UnderBriefs and HisJock, All of them awesome smaller stores.

Step 5: Wear your Underwear. The day it arrives you’ll be all excited and will rush to put it on and see how it fits. If you’re new to the world of designer underwear, I would suggest wear it around the house first. Because the pair you get may not fit you as amazing as you may think. There is nothing worse than wearing a pair of underwear to work that drives you crazy.  If it fits great after a few hours at home brave it and wear it to work.

Step 6: Buy more underwear. Now that you found out what you like buy more of those and then slowly branch out. If you bought a brief get a trunk and vice vera. Try them out and work your way up to jock, jock brief, thong or something else fun!

We hope this helps in your search for the best underwear. We want all the guys who come here to have amazing underwear! If you have any questions feel free to email us or reach out to us on our Twitter account!

Many of your out there know who Steve Grand is, he is a Country Music singer who is gay. His first single American Boy hit YouTube and became an over night success. But before he was a singer he was a model and Tom Cullis shot him back in the day. This last week he posted a pic of him in a swim brief! We just had to share the pic!

FetishFriday!

It’s Fetish Friday! That day we profile something super fun and not your everyday wear! It could be something to wear for a “romantic” night or to a Bar night. These pairs would be for the former unless you are an exhibitionist. The pairs we choose are the Candyman S&M Costumes.

These 3 styles you could have your very on 50 Shades of Grey in the bedroom. As you would expect all three are black but a variation of fun! The first is one for those who love a thong. The 99157 S&M Costume is a mix of a thong and harness with a blindfold and cuffs. Both the cuffs and blindfold are made out of a leather looking material. The thong has almost a harness like look, it crosses in the front and goes over the shoulders. It’s for those who aren’t shy and want to have fun wearing it!

The next style the 99159 is a pair of mesh boxer briefs and a blind fold. You may think you will show off less in this but you would be wrong! The boxer briefs are mesh, except the pouch, and has a lace up back. The blindfold is made out of the same leather like material with some accents around the edge! It’s super fun and sexy!

The last style is the 99161 which is the same as the 99159 except it has the cuffs instead of the blindfold. Granted the cuffs are not super tight but all these are for fun. If you want both the cuffs and blinforld get the 9915.

If you want the real S&M experience you need to get something a bit more fetishy. But for something fun to spice up the bedroom these could just do the trick. Thsee aren’t too over the top or too intense if you want to dip your toe in on the fetish side with your partner. One of the biggest trends in fetish wear is S&M style. More and more brands are having fun with this style of of underwear.

They are super fun and sexy! You can find these at Candyman Fashion

Unknown-29One of our most popular posts is the Endowed Guys Guide to Underwear. It was written a few years ago by Brandon and his personal experience finding underwear for the guy who needs a bigger pouch. That original post is a few years old and I don’t think any of the pairs are still available for sale! So what’s an endowed guy to do? Well I’m taking up that torch and creating a series for guys who need more room in the front! We should have a series soon for those who need extra room in the trunk!

There is one brand of underwear that is underrated. It’s not well known to many of our readers I bet, unless you happen to need more room in the front. That brand is John Sievers, an exclusive brand from International Jock. I had seen the brand on the site but never gave it much thought. Then UNB Brandon posted about how awesome they were and  got a few of these and convinced me to try a pair. I couldn’t believe how comfy and roomy the pouch was!

I don’t know if the brand was made for the endowed guys initially or not but it has been given the reputation as a pair with a great pouch. More guys I have talked to who are endowed who say they wear the brand. This is because they have a very comfortable pouch. It’s not one that will push up, have c-rings or any gimmicks. The line has a pouch designed to hold a guy naturally.

One of the big things I like about this line is there are a few different designs and every color in the rainbow. Color is very important to me and I hate it when there are only a limited amount of colors. And even worse if it’s the basic colors only. Color is a way to really enjoy your undies and feel great! Well, for me it is!

The two styles in the collection are briefs and trunks. Each one has a fun waistband and the natural pouch I described earlier. Most of the waistbands are pretty standard except for the California Gold. The California Gold has a bright gold band! It will definitely draw attention peeking over the top of your jeans.

If you are looking for great undies if you are endowed or even if you aren’t check out the John Sievers Collection at International Jock!
