I know for many of you out there, hate is a strong word. But I will admit I am not a big fan of boxer briefs. There have been a few times that I have tried them for reviews and they fit great. But those are few and far between! You maybe asking why I hate them…. Well where should I start?

First thing is most of the pairs I have tried, with a few exceptions, have no pouch. I’m a guy who needs more room up front and to have everything supported. So, when a pair doesn’t hold its shape and all my business isn’t supported it drives me insane. This has caused me to take pairs off midday and either put on another pair or just free ball. The pairs I have liked from Unico and a few others have a pouch built in.

Next reason I hate them is they are too loose. I know we have readers who say what’s wrong with that? Well I’m a firm believer of to each their own, but for me I like undies that are tight and keep everything in place. I remember back in the day getting my first pair of boxer briefs from CK, (Right when they came out), it was early 90’s and I spend prob $22 on them. Back in the day when I was a college student, $22 was a lot of money for a pair of undies. I tried them and they bunched up and I kept pulling them down. It was a constant battle to adjust them through out the day. I couldn’t wait to get home and take these off and put on a pair of bikinis. These were made out of 100% cotton fabric with no spandex.

The last reason I hate boxer briefs is similar to above, it’s the legs not staying in place. The legs on most pairs keep riding up and I’ve had my business pop out the leg before. I kid you not. I went why am I wearing underwear if it doesn’t hold me in. It was a constant go to the bathroom and adjust the legs. After this and a few other times I was done!

I want to feel sexy and fun in undies and it I have to constantly adjust them that isn’t happening. So now you maybe asking what boxer briefs do you like? Well I prefer ones that are tight. Made out of a spandex blend that conforms to my body. Not pure 100% cotton that has not support. Second, I like a pouch built in that gives me support all day long. Lastly the legs are just as tight and don’t ride up. I have tired several long boxers and enjoyed them because they stayed in place!

Ok so what style drives you crazy wearing? Share with us in a comment below! BTW if you’re wondering what happened to the CK boxer briefs, I gave them to a friend.

Looking for some great deals this Labor Day? We have you covered, literally! Here are a few of the great sales going on this Labor Day weekend!

	Junk Underjeans is not only all about sleek style and crazy good craftsmanship but their incredible attention to detail is also remarkable. We’re just not sure how they can produce quality goods like this for so less. Junk Underjeans has just launched at Jockstrap Central with their brand new Stealth line of jockstraps and trunks. Here’s the details: STEALTH JOCKSTRAP: The features are endless: A double walled fabric pouch for extra durability, a contoured pouch design for comfort and fit, double stitched contrasting piping, comfort leg straps with a unique pouch attachment to prevent the dreaded twist effect, a super soft plushed waistband and finally, care instructions silk screened right onto the inside fabric to prevent irritation. As far as style goes, it’s oozing with it: A soft micro houndstooth pouch fabric gives this jock a very modern, sleek and certainly futuristic look which perfectly matches the Tron-like font that is the JUNK logo on the waistband. Contrasting piping edge the pouch and match the leg straps and waistband accent colors. Available in five colors, red, green, orange, yellow and blue. STEALTH TRUNK Sharing many of the same features as the jock above, including a double walled contoured pouch and comfort waistband, but what really sets this trunk apart is its awesome looking paneled construction alternating between a hi-tech micro houndstooth fabric and a solid heather grey one. Contrasting stitching joining the panels and also in the seat add some oomph and printed front chevrons hit home the futuristic designs aligning it with the Junk logo on the waistband. Available in either red, orange or green. —————————- With this level of detailing, craftsmanship and style you’d expect a price to match but they’re both totally affordable. Jockstrap Central has them selling for only $20 for the jockstraps and $26 for the trunks.

Well the trip out west was a lot of fun. This was my 10th trip to Magic/Curve! It’s hard to believe I have been to that many. The shows have changed so much since 2010, when I first started to go! Unlike the other trips this time I went to Los Angeles for the first time, the weekend before. Did a few things blog related and hung out with friends! Then I headed to Las Vegas for a week!

LA was BIG, this being my first trip I didn’t know what to expect. I stayed with the other Tim on the site (UNBTMG), he picketed me up at the Airport and we were off to the Las Angeles Eagle for the N2N Bodywear Hard Heroes Event. Which is a fetish event for guys into spandex and super hero. I would have enjoyed this much better had it not been on the night I flew in and was worn out! But it was fun to see N2N and the fashion show!

The next day we headed downtown to meet with a UNB long time favorite Go Softwear. Their office is in the Fashion District and we got there a bit early. We met with Go Softwear and saw some of the new stuff coming and I was impressed! They have been working hard. We did lunch downtown and it was a great meeting. We were supposed to do dinner with N2N that night but had a scheduling conflict! Next time.

The next day I took it easy and did some meetings for somethings coming…shhhh! Then I saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time and headed to the airport to go to Vegas. The short flight from LAX to Las Vegas was half full and i Loved it! I landed and got to the hotel at 11. The weekend in LA drained me so I crashed almost immediately.

Monday, Aug 18 both the shows started. It is standard for me to go to Curve in the morning and head down to Magic in the afternoon. So around 8:30 I head up to the Sands Convention center. This year there was just one brand at Curve. That brand was Wood Underwear. It was great to catch up and find out about the new stripes (in the picture above) and the just released camo line! It was quick but I headed down to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

That night we had our Meet and Greet with some of the brands. They are always fun to get everyone in a social situation. I have always wanted to do something in Vegas for our readers like our Industry Meet and Greet. We may try something this year! While there I tried to Tweet and send some instagram pics. I”m getting better!

When I got there I had to meet up with Blue Buck, Justin Case and Steele sWimwear. I can’t wait to tell you about Justin Case! Also in the meeting was Private Structure and Punto Blanco. This year Punto Blanco is going to amazing! It won’t be released till Early next year though. Then I met with Andrew Christian in the afternoon.

Tuesday was just as busy. This time it was with Teamm8 (who are amazing), Junk UnderJeans, 2(X)ist (Jason is awesome), Bwet, Frank Dandy, Timoteo, Rounderwear, and more. It was a very productive week.

We are going to have more coverage coming when lines are released. We have changed our coverage to cover it as they come out rather than after the show! If you have any questions feel free to send a question via twitter to @unbtim or info@underwearnewsbriefs.com
