N2N Bodywear makes really fun swimwear. The LA Pop we profiled in our UNB Swim Guide! We also reviewed the LA Pop singlet as well! Which was a pretty awesome singlet. Now we have the LA Pop Swim Brief, which has the same incredible print as the singlet. Wearing this in public will definitely draw attention to you.

Before I get going into the review. The first pair I had a minor production issue. The leg strap is sewn into the cup and it came undone. The replacement they sent didn’t have this issue and held up great. After reviewing them for 7 years this is the first time I ever had an issue with them. So note sometimes things happen and most companies will exchange it. N2N sent me a new one right away! This is why they are awesome.

That being said I wore this pair twice. Once the first time the noticed the issue and then the second time with the replacement pair. The first thing you notice when you put this on is the pouch. It has n-hance pouch. You maybe asking what is the n-hance pouch and what can it do for me? The n-hance pouch is one designed by N2N Bodywear to lift what you have and show it off. It does it without any straps or extra add ons. This means you will be showing off all you have, so keep that in mind when thinking of this pair!

Wearing it the first time, I wore it with friends out to a pool. It was a quiet day and I really loved the pair. It felt great and held up to a good day by the pool. The second time I wore it was by the pool by myself. The first time was more active than the second time. The second was a lot of laying out and a few dips in the pool. But this time the pair held up great. It’s super comfortable and light. Like all great swimwear it dries fast and great for a long day at the pool.

Sizing with N2N Bodywear is pretty good. I have had very few issues with sizing. This pair was an XL and fit great. Just double check the size chart for any issues. But I don’t think you will have any with N2N Bodywear

Pros:

  • Love the print
  • Amazing n-hance pouch
  • Super comfortable.

Cons;

  • first pair had a minor production issue
  • Some may not like the bright print
  • Some may not like the pouch putting it all out there

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 9
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction -8

Thanks for N2N Bodywear for furnishing this pair for review. And for replacing the first pair! The LA Pop Sport is available from N2N Bodywear for $30

manstore zipper collectionIts Fetish Friday! Its that day when we bring you a great pair of fetishwear! This week we chose a pair from the Man Store. If you aren’t familiar with the Man Store they are basically like a big candy store for lovers of erotic/fetishwear. They aren’t too well known in the US. Occasionally you will see something but for the most part many out there may not have heard of it before!

The Zippered is one that has the look of latex. If you are familiar with latex it’s a material that is not the easiest to care for or the cheapest. It takes a lot of special care for latex clothing. This pair has the look of latex but actually made out of micro fiber. Meaning it will be easier to care for and maintain. There is nothing worse than spending big money on a pair of gear only to have issues with it later!

The two of the M314 line is a thong and a brief. The matte finish to the fabric makes this super sexy. It’s a very cool fabric that I like a lot. The pairs also have a grey trim that sets off the two very nicely. It’s not over the top or detracts from the fetish look. Speaking of fetish look each pair has a zipper. One interesting thing about this line is the zipper can be unzipped from either end! Talk about fun.

Many out there may think that zippers and underwear shouldn’t go together! We don’t think so, there are many pairs that the zipper makes them super hot! The Man Store loves to make sexy yet masculine fetish wear that are made to have fun in!

The Zippered Thong is 17.95 Euros and the Zippered Brief is 27.95 Euros. Each can be found at the Man Store website!

Devious Trunk 1

Pistol Pete is one of those brands we don’t cover enough on the blog. We have a long history with the brand going back to 2010! That was the first time I went to Vegas and met with them! They have a very unique stile of doing underwear and swimwear. Now the new line has been out and we are going to show you some of the great pairs they have to offer!

One of the newest is the Devious Trunk. It’s a fun design with I know w few readers favorite number on it, 69. The trunk it self looks just like a regular trunk, so what makes it devious? Well other than the obvious 69, the trunk is made out of a mesh. Not a totally see through mesh but one that you can barely tell it’s mesh. This is what makes it devious and fun.

The Devious line comes in four different colors. They are Navy, black, white and red. Each has the 69 on the left hip and a contrasting trim. Top that off with the signature Pistol Pete waistband, it really brings together a fun pair. The line also comes in a brief and a jock

The Devious trunk is available at the Pistol Pete site for $29.00

KIKITHONGPINK

Today is a day to have some fun with your underwear. Either share your love of thongs or give them a try! Kick Sagat is a brand we haven’t covered in a while and I thought we needed to change that. The brand has been creating some super fun designs. That includes prints, new takes on styles and the use of great colors!

Since today you need to wear a thong the Push-Up thong from them seemed like a great choice! The color we chose was pink. You maybe asking why we chose this color? Well pink is still one of the hot colors for men’s underwear. So many guys, myself included, just love pink undies.

One reason I chose this is the pouch. So many of you out there really request a good pouch in your underwear. This pair has a very defined pouch that does what the name implies, push-up! It looks like a great pouch and the pair overall is just fun.

The pink is not the full color. The trim and waistband are pink and the body of the pair is white. So it’s just enough pink to show off. The fabric is a 95% COTTON 5% ELASTANE mix. The only thing that you need to know is the sizing. An XL is a 34-36 inches. This means it will run smaller than traditional sizing. The good thing is the sizing chart is front and center on the product page.

You can find this pair on the Kick Sagat site for $27.00

 

fullsize_1411729346_body_1024x1024I’m back with the second review I am doing for Kikini. I am really enjoying rediscovering this brand. The first pair I reviewed, the Croft Micro Brief, were amazing so I definitely had high hopes for the Imola Brief.

The Imola brief is more of a brief cut than a bikini. It is made out of the same material the Croft is made out of, but had a traditional waistband. Again when I held it up I was a little worried about the size. More on that in a bit later in the reivew. The designs that Kiniki has for their underwear are awesome. They are super fun and not prints I have seen in the world of underwear that often! So massive points scored for that!

I wore the pair on an average day, but I had planned on wearing to a party one night but I couldn’t wait to try it out! The first thing I noticed was the waist band was a little tight. Not binding tight but still noticeable when I put it on. As the day progressed I really didn’t notice it. The fabric like the Croft brief felt awesome. I love the fabric of the pair. The Poly Lycra fabric is becoming one of my favorites!

Kikini says this about the pair: “The Kiniki brief features an integrated front panel for optimum support & tailored comfort while the waist is completed with a new, wider, signature Kiniki waistband made from a shimmering elastic weave making for an extra comfortable waistband that reduces pressure on the skin and looks distinctive in it’s high quality finish.”

I mentioned above the print. This print is called HD print. It is designed exclusively by Kikini and you won’t find it anywhere else. I don’t think it is, but this pair reminds me of a snake print. Their other prints are just as amazing. If you are not a print fan, I suggest you stay away, if you are go now and buy!

The sizing was a little tighter than the previous pair. The bikini (micro brief) fit great. The waistband was a bit tighter than I would like. Like I mentioned above the pair didn’t bind or constrict me. But there were a few times I could tell it was a little tight. It detracted some but not a great deal from this site.

Pros:

  • Amazing Prints
  • Great fabric that feels amazing
  • Traditional brief design

Cons;

  • Sizing was a bit smaller
  • Not for those guys who don’t like prints

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing – 8
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance 9

_j6ielSlzQrim9zU_PBN62W6UbKZF4729wEmxzZS2OgIx_AlS90xzEoj3TwHAmmk1a276Aw1569_h780__52365.1420598260.1280.1280I was talking with two friends via text yesterday about underwear and told them I was wearing Blue Collar Underwear. Neither of them had heard of the brand. One of them has way more underwear than I will ever have, so that surprised me he hadn’t heard of them. The other I directed him to the site. Both seem to like the brand.

I got to know the brand about a year ago. They contacted us about covering the brand (if I remember correctly!) and we have talked and promoted them a few times. They have a very unique style and make really fun underwear designs.

One pair I wanted to profile is the Athletic Cobra Trunk. You maybe surprised I chose a trunk but I love their designs. The ones I reviewed had a great pouch and fit awesome. This one looks very much the same as the other ones I reviewed.

At first look this may look like any ordinary run of the mill trunk. The front has a red panel with a white accent at the pouch. But, the panel is made out of Modal. Modal is so soft and feels amazing on the skin. More and more companies are using the material for its comfort. The back is made out of a black mesh (so not just your every day trunk!)

Speaking of the pouch, there is one in this pair. That’s one of my biggest gripes about trunks and boxer briefs, no pouch! Some of you out there like this but not me. The pouch has ample room for you and you won’t be out of place all day.

The last thing is the waistband. Its made with the “Blue Collar” branded waistband. On the back of the band there is a small Blue Collar logo on the back. It’s a nice touch I love. It just adds to the pair.

If you are interested in finding more go to the Blue Collar Underwear site for more pairs. The Athletic Cobra Trunk retails for $24.50

Are you a big fan of  swimwear that shows off the body you have worked for? I’m not talking a skimpy. I’m talking about a pair that incorporates mesh and has an amazing pouch. As you can see by our picture featuring Michael, from our UNB Swim Guide this year. The new N2N Bodywear Nitro X is just such a suit!

N2N Bodywear has always been known for creating amazing pouches. Some of my favorite swimwear has been form them and the last pair that had, and the pouch was the main reason I loved it, was the Strata. The guys at N2N really know how to make amazing swimwear that shows off everything a guy has to offer.

The Nitro X is a pair of swimwear that has a solid pouch but a mostly solid back. Around the top and bottom of the back its mesh. The mesh extends always to the pouch in front. So the goods in the front are hidden but the back, well its mostly hidden. When I saw this in Vegas I knew it would be an instant hit with the boys. Its enough of a show off to be sexy without being too much.

A funny story about the pair was when we shot the guide. It was a pair that the guys kind of looked at strange. Granted most of our models, except for Nathan, in the shoot had never really worn a swim brief before, needless to say a pair as wild as this. I will say they were troopers and no one really complained about this or any pair.

The Nitro X comes in 5 colors. They are black, white, blue, orange and lime. The mesh on all the pairs is white. This makes it so that in day light it’s not too noticeable like a black mesh would be in sun light. But get it wet and that’s a different story. But, if you are wearing this pair on the beach you would have no problem showing off!

Its made of 83% nylon 17% spandex for the main body and the mesh is a 83% polyester 17% spandex blend. The pair has a draw string waist so no worries about it coming off in the water. As mentioned above it has the n-hance pouch N2N is known for in their designs. Lastly, N2N logo is on the back panel.

If you want a pair to show off this is the pair for you. You can find the Nitro X on the N2N Bodywear site for $36.00.

Its’ been a long time since we have reviewed Kiniki. So when they contacted us to do some new reviews I was like “cool.” Then when I checked out the site and saw all they had the “cool” turned into “Heck Yeah I do!” They have really come out with a lot more underwear and swimwear since I last was on their site. The prints and patterns are super fun and it was a hard to narrow what I wanted down to a few pairs.

The first pair I am reviewing is the Croft Micro Brief. There are several reasons I chose this pair. The first is it’s a bikini cut. It reminds me of some of the first pairs I got hooked on. Next was the print. Super fun and different from a lot I have seen. And lastly was the material. It reminded me of the nylon of the first bikinis I ever wore.

When I got the package and opened it. The first thing I noticed was the fabric. Its called a Poly Lycra. However, it def reminded me of nylon bikinis of days gone by. I slid them on and at first I was worried that they wouldn’t stretch and be too binding through out the day. After I pulled them on they were tight but not uncomfortable. The fabric and the design really made this pair feel amazing through out the day. As the day went on I forgot I was even wearing underwear. It was a pair I wanted to wear for two days! But I didn’t!

I wore this on a regular day. It wasn’t a super active day but some work and errands. My one issue that I thought I may have would be the pair is too hot. If you are familiar with nylon type fabric you know it may not breath and you can get uncomfortable fast. As the day went on I had no issues at all with breathability. The pair performed really well. I will say that this pair not only met my expectations but exceeded them.

The sizing of the brand is pretty good. This was an XL and fit me well, after my initial “I don’t think this will work” moment. Just double check the sizing chart before you order. Their sizing is pretty standard but always remember that if you’re on the upper end of a size go a size up to be safe!

The design of this pair I have to say I love. The bikini cut definitely reminds me of why I fell in love with underwear. It’s got the small sides of a bikini. The design is made with no seams in the front or back. This made for the lack of apouch, which was another concern but it didn’t factor in at all. The back is a ¾ design so you won’t get full coverage. So if you have a butt you may take that into account.

Pros:

  • A Bikini Cut
  • Super Fun print
  • Amazingly comfortable

Cons:

  • Not for guys who don’t like prints
  • ¾ back design may not fit some guys

  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction/Materials – 10

maskulo-fetish-shorts-2

Just arrived and exclusive in North America at Jockstrap Central it’s fetish gear designer Maskulo.

Makes for the perfect Pride or fetish fair outfit that sure to get heads turning.
All three versions have Maskulo’s signature black padded detachable formed cod piece giving you one massive bulge no matter what state of arousal you’re in.

EW0310 (4)I admit I love the pouch that ErgoWear underwear has developed. It was one of the first ergonomically designed pouches that I remember on the market. It is a pouch that is no short of awesome. Now, you can get that pouch in a pair of swimwear! The new line is called the Feel line!

The Feel is a swim brief cut made with a specially designed pouch. It’s similar to the underwear but will give you plenty of extra room up front. Perfect for the guy who needs it. It won’t bind to feel too tight on you! It’s actually a cool pouch design. One of the first I have seen in swimwear!

The line comes in five different colors. They are Blue, Turquoise, Red, Purple and Line. It is made out of 80% Polyamide and 20% Elastane  blend. Also features a draw string waist. It’s super fun and the colors are perfect for swimwear!

If you aren’t a fan of swim briefs they also have swimwear in a trunk and jammer. You can find this line at Candyman Fashion for $40.48

NOTE: I do consulting work for GDD World and this post is my opinion
