0a6245b1-18a3-449d-99f1-0a0b886b464fNasty Pig is a brand that isn’t afraid to take some risks! They have released the new Venom briefs. Which many may know by the title is a Snake print pattern! This was a pattern that was specifically designed by Nasty Pig for this pair. This one is one of the best they have ever released! Here is what they say about the pairs:

“Our venom briefs have an engineered snake print on them. That means the pattern doesn’t simply repeat, but the right scales fall in the right spots to accentuate the right things. The waistband has NASTYPIG woven in with a metallic thread. The colors are strong and loud…much like our customers.”

So this isn’t a pattern that was cut out and just pieced together. The scales on the pouch will accent what you have! It’s great to have more companies pay attention to patterns and prints. This pair is also available in Pink (as pictured) yellow and blue.

It retails for $29.oo on the Nasty Pig Site.

City Limits – This is the most expensive fabric ever used in production for Gregg Homme. There are multiple styles. Some have the solid fabric where as other shave round cut outs (see pic).

Ardent – If you are looking for a sexy pair to wear this is it. Its a premium pair so don’t be surprised about the price. It has a solid pouch with mesh around the sides that goes all the way around to the other side of the pouch. So you will show some skin in the back!

Pool Party – Is more of a traditional swim suit. It has some great colors and cut. The one thing that stand out is the innovative pouch detail. It’s rounded. It looks really cool. It’s available in a brief or thong.

This is the new line I hope you love it and go buy some. I want one of everything!

 

Go SoftwearIf you are like me you grew up watching super heroes. And you always wanted to be one and even put your underwear on the outside of your clothes. The new Milos trunk and bikini from Go Softwear gives me such a super hero vibe. I don’t know if this was intentional or not but I loved it the first time I saw it. I kept going through my mind which super hero you could create out of each of these suits.

This could be a great Halloween costume idea (if you can get them ASAP) if not this year for next. A little body paint and a mask and you have instant costume! But only for those who are bold enough to bare about all! If however you want to use this for the purpose they intended, its also amazing swimwear.

The few pairs of GoSoftwear I have had have been amazing. It holds up to wear and tear and always looks great. I Love the bright colors and belt of these, and not just for the reasons mentioned above. It’s just fun! More guys will wear super bright swimwear over underwear. But more on that later.

This line is available in a bikini and Square cut. Both are made out of 80% nylon and 20% spandex blend. The bikini retails for $38.50 and the Square cut is $42.00. If you can’t find this at a retailer near you, its always available on the Go Softwear Site!

 

_MG_0419PPU has released their new Fall/winter collection. PPU is one brand that really reinvents itself. The last collection had new boxer briefs this one is more jock and bikini heavy. Which isn’t  a bad thing. They change things up in styles and colors quite often. Also, the brand is not afraid to mix it up with new materials, mesh and bright fun colors. Underwear should be fun shouldn’t it?

PPU has put their own spin on the jock several of the new pairs are a lot of fun. The jocks that I think are the most innovative are :

PPU_1455_blue_1

PPU 1455 Jockstrap is a not quite a jock brief but not quite  a jock

PPU_1458_red_1

PPU 1458 has the front of a bikini and not one but two straps in the back.

PPU_1463_white_1.jpg

PPU 1463 has a smaller front pouch and a regular jock back.

briefs or bikinis are big in this collection too. Briefs are making a big come back across all undies. The pairs I love are:

PPU_1466_salmon_2.jpg

PPU 1466 Bikini in salmon – has a super skimpy cut

PPU_1469_purple_1.jpg

PPU 1469 Bikini has a big bigger, but not by much cut of the 1466 but in three colors

PPU_1470_black_1.jpg

PPU 1470 Bikini is the largest of the cuts with a semi transparent fabric.

When you think of a basic collection, one brand that doesn’t come to mind is Gregg Homme. When you think of Gregg Homme, you think super sexy and amazing underwear. Ones you wear on an anniversary dinner or a hot date! So when I got the Torrid Basic Brief I thought, “oh cool a basic line” Well I should have known they put their own spin on the basic!

I say this because if you think it’s going to be totally basic, you are wrong. The first think you notice is the size. Like many pairs from Gregg Homme you pick them up and ask, how is this going to fit me its WAY too small. But the fabrics they use have amazing stretch and feel. How they find this fabric is beyond me but its some of the most amazing in underwear today.

The first thing you notice when you put it on is the fabric is slightly see through. After I put it on I could see pretty much everything. Granted it wasn’t a full on here’s all my business but it was noticeable. So I wouldn’t recommend then to be worn at a gym. The fit on the pair was very well.  As I mentioned above, if this is your first pair, you will not believe how one pair will stretch and feel amazing.

I wore these to work. Which is quite busy and always up and down so I knew they would get a good work out. When I put them on to begin with they felt a little small so I hoped this wouldn’t be an issue. But as the day went on they felt great and I didn’t notice them. The fabric has an 8 way stretch that will conform to any guy.

Sizing has never been an issue with me and Gregg Homme. They make their undies out of great fabrics that will fit their sizing charts. As I have said you may pull it out and go “NO WAY” but put it on and you will see. The pair i received was an XL and it fit great. As I said I had wondered about the fit through the day but it really held up great and didn’t ride down or feel too snug in any way !

Pros:

  • Amazing Fabric
  • Sexy see through material
  • Fit great

Cons:

  • I would like a bigger was it band (but thats a personal choice)
  • My not be great for a gym work out!

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing- 9
  • Construction/Materials -10
  • Styling -9
    Daily Performance  – 9
    Overall: 9.2

Gregg Homme furnished this pair for review. There are seven colors and it is available for $32.95 from the Gregg Homme Site.

The UNB Holiday shoot was shot! Many maybe going, shooting for the Holiday’s already? YES, to get it out to you guys we have to shoot it this time of year! The actual shoot will be out in Nov (shhh. Nov 28th). We had Derek Yates we have worked with a few times before. He is alway amazing to work with on each shoot. Then we had Nathan, new model we have never worked. He came down to be in the shoot and was a lot of fun (plus he wore our jock brief). Next we had Michael, who we found out is a big geek a heart and works at a video game store and is also a fitness competitor. I told him I never see guys like you working in my local video game store! And lastly is Chandler (who we profiled on the Brief Distraction today) who is a also a fitness guy and is TALL!

It was a long day for me because I have to head over 2 hours to the shoot and then back home in a day. The day had to glitches. The first was my DLSR camera’s batteries rand out halfway through for video and I had to use my phone. Which I hope turns out ok! I made the determination I need a real video camera. So if you notice a difference that is why! Next we had two pairs of underwear walk away. Lucky we had back ups but I was told the house we shot at in Birmingham is haunted so maybe the ghosts needed some new undies.

Above is a brief preview! We will have a lot more soon on the site and including videos. But follow us at the UNB Instagram account for more stuff from the shoot. We will post exclusive video previews and such there! I want to thank our brands in it, Clever, JOR, ManView, Modus Vivendi, Cocksox, aussieBum, Charles Owo and Wood Underwear.

I can’t wait to show you guys! I think you are going to love it!

DSThis past month we brought you a write up on runners and spandex. It seems there is a return to form fitting work out wear. Ruskin is one of those brands who has always had the runners and shorts. Each year they release new pairs. I will say that they tend to make some of the hottest work out /active wear gear around.

The two paris we are going to feature are the Bonk! and Zut! The Bonk! is a pair of shorts and the Zut! is a pair of runners!

Unknown-7

The Bonk! really reminds me of the shorts back in the 80’s when spandex shorts first came on to the market. Companies didn’t hold back and made some amazing pairs with the brightest colors. It would appear to me that Rufskin has reinvisioned the shorts in a modern cut with new bright colors. I also say they channeled the 80’s because of the stripes on the legs really accents the legs. That is one thing about spandex you can build the seams to really show off and accent what you have! Here is what they say about the pair:

“These are no ordinary bike shorts. As with the other styles in our “LOUD!” athletic collection, we’ve used a combination of bold colors to create another unique piece that will stand out from the crowd. Constructed from shiny royal blue spandex, these tights feature swooping twin stripes wrapping around the side of the left leg. The white and gold bands are punctuated with a sliver of deep navy blue piping, creating a striking and stylish piece that looks great layered under volley shorts or simply worn alone.” Retails for $48

Unknown

The Zut! is a longer pair of runners that reach the ankle. Much like the Bonk! The Zut! have a two stripes that run down the legs. I really love these. They say you can wear them alone or under something. I think with pairs like these you need to show them off without anything over them. I have to point out the orange piping/stiching on the pair, they out did themselves. Here is what they say about the pair:

“This design takes our basic black running tights POW!, with their seamless sides and shiny spandex, and adds a vibrant infusion of color with wide asymmetrical stripes extending down the full length of the right leg. The royal blue and purple bands are punctuated with a sliver of bright orange piping, creating a striking and stylish piece that looks great layered under shorts or worn alone.” Retails for $58

Both os these are reasonable priced and averrable at the Ruskin site!
