Eat_MeCollectionMarek+Richard has just released the “Eat Me Collection.” Have you ever wanted underwear that is made in great colors but inspired by candy? Even if you haven’t we think you should check this line out.

Here is what Marek+Richard say about the line: “Satisfy your sweet tooth with Marek+Richard’s EAT ME collection! Get a sugar high when you wear a pair of their pastel undies, or go sour and sport one of their “tasteful” humor tees. Inspired by delicious desserts and candy-coated cravings, EAT ME will take you on a trip to Candy Land: no golden ticket required. So go ahead and indulge, a few cavities never hurt nobody.”

This line is made out of pastel fabrics with a grey accenting waistband. My favorite color is the pink. I don’t know what it is about pink underwear but its one of my favorites! The other colors in the collection are purple, blue and yellow. The trim is in a darker shade of the main color.

Eat Me comes in three styles. The styles are a brief, jock and Trunk ($19.50-29.50). Along with the underwear they have a series of T-shirts ($32.50) with slogans such as “Eat Me”, “Suck on It” and Eye Candy. The t-shirts match the undies perfectly. Marek+Richard is a company that believes that underwear should be fun in and out of bed! Their campaigns are always over the top and super fun.

AlexanderCOBB-Danon-03Alexander Cobb sent us over some pics of Danon in their underwear. One of the pairs features the Tattoo Dragon trunks. Which is a mix of a tattoo print with a koi on it! We hope you enjoy the pics.

From Alexander Cobb –

 The symbol for Alexander COBB® is the Koi – Japanese for carp and homophone for affection or love. Koi represents love and friendship and is synonymous with different elements in the collection – colour, symbols, style and cut. It is also special thatAlexander COBB® depicts koi through the art of tattoo – one of the most beautiful, most intriguing, and the boldest tattoos. Metaphorically, we believe the Alexander COBB® range will feel like tattoos, your second skin.

The Alexander COBB® men’s underwear range includes slip ones, trunks, boxer shorts and boxer long, and comes in 4 sizes (S, M, L, and XL). Our size chart provides details that will help you select which size best fits your body measurements. Each pair is made with designer quality elastic band, 92 percent cotton, and 8 percent lycra, so they feel like your second skin.

We don’t usually cover gym accessories but this I felt I couldn’t pass up. Did you notice the gym bag in the pic? Maybe you did, maybe you didn’t! But we are doing a few reviews of Good Boy Gone Bad and they sent me a gym bag. When I first opened the package I was impressed by the bag but I thought, its a good gym back.

Then I really got the bag out and noticed it’s made of neoprene. This has to be the most ingenious material for a gym bag. There is nothing wrong with nylon bags but this one will keep your wet clothes from leaking through, or keep the water from getting in! I also like this bag because it has an compartment for your shoes!

The bag come sin two colors red or blue. The materials are neoprene. It retails for $68 on the Good Boy Gone Bad site. If you’re in the need of a great gym bag, check it out!

supa-wear-supa-starrIts time to be a STAR! Supa-Wear just released the newest line called Supa-Star. If you have stayed away from Supa-Wear because you wanted a pouch, now is the time to give them a second look. Pouches are the most important thing to me in underwear, so creating a “natural lift” pouch sign me up! I am going to try to get a pair to try.

The new line is in two colors, and as I have said before the names are pretty awesome, Cop and Cowboy. The cop is the blue combination and the Cowboy is the orange/red. I like the color blocking they have done and the piping around the pouch. My personal favorite is the blue, I am not a big fan of orange. However, James on our site will probably love them, he can’t pass up an orange pair!

The new collection is available in a briefs, jock (more like a jock brief) and a long boxer. There is no trunk in this line yet. The trunk has been a staple in the Supa-Wear line but they have opted to go with the long trunk. See the entire line below and go to the Supa-Wear site to purchase!

C-IN2-GRIP-3_0195-3-670x449

Are you a fan of Big Brother on CBS? Well, I will admit I am not but a friend sent me the info that current house mate is a model who was part of C-IN2 Grip campaign, named Cody Calafiore. If this had been 5 years ago or more it would be a big deal. Case in point remember when William Levy was on Dancing with the Stars? It was a scandal! Now, not so much.

If you don’t watch Big Brother like I do, who is Cody? He is a 23 year old, former soccer player from New Jersey. As you can see by the pic above even if you don’t know who he is, you have seen his pics! I def remember the the campaign, it was some great images from C-IN2! I checked his Twitter(@Cody_Calafiore) page and who ever is running it is not shying away from the underwear past. I mean if you looked like Cody in underwear, wouldn’t you show it off. Heck I would just walk around in my underwear!

So far he’s still in the Big Brother House and as been labeled “adorable.” He’s told the house mates that his a Sales Executive and not a model. It maybe all part of the game. What do you think of the Big Brother House Mate?

This line has some really fun styles such as the Flag Brief and Jock. The jock is not your regular jock, Modus Vivendi put their spin on it.

The pair I love the most is the main pic here. It’s the Bon Bon Mini Brief. Its awesome that bikinis are making a comeback! I got hooked on them when growing up and are my favorite style. Very few actually make them any more. Modus Vivendi is a company that plays by it’s own rules!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Nick this week. He’s a model and self described underwear lover. He’s told us this about him.

 I am Italian and Polish, and come from an amazing family. I have 3 brothers, and two wonderful parents.  You will come to know that I am extremely energetic and tend to talk alot with my hands (must be the Italian in me). Lol! I have a very Loud personality.  I’m extremely athletic and outgoing and pretty much spend most of my time working out at the gym.  Furthermore,  I love to dance, shop, listen to music,  and entertain

He’s a super nice guy and we hope we get to work with him soon! Let us know what you think of Nick! Shot by Furiousfotog!

TOUCHDOWN DIGITAL MEDIA COVERTeamm8 has really come on strong in the US Market this last year. They have released some amazing swimwear and now are releasing a few more pairs to their Underwear line. The first pair they are releasing is the Touchdown Brief. The Touch Down brief joins the team of the other low cut briefs in their line up.

One of the first things you will notice are the colors. The color names are pretty eye catching and fun. However the names of the colors they use are pretty fun. They are mouth watering Mandarin (orange), Scrumptious Sorbet (pink/red) and Juicy Apple (green). The world of underwear has really been coming up with creative names this past year. Some of you may think it’s out there but it just makes me smile because it’s part of the fun factor! The colors are set off by a black waistband with the Teamm8 logo in grey. I think the black accents the bright colors really well.

From the Teamm8 site: It’s a TOUCHDOWN! This electrifying number joins our team of super-low cut briefs. And don’t let the effortlessness of its detail fool you. It features a slick and sexy double piping along the bottom and side panel, dominated in black and accompanied by a thin white glow. “

If you are looking for a really fun brief then I would suggest the Touchdown brief. The pictures and video for the line were done by James Demitri. Find this on the Teamm8 website.

 

 

N2N Signature Boxer UN53-14-AToday I have the great pleasure of reviewing the N2N Signature Boxer. When I opened the package and saw that I was reviewing another pair of N2N I knew these were going to be a great pair of underwear, and I was right.

They were black with blue inset panels on either side of the roomy front pouch. My visual QC inspection was as I expected from N2N, The finest quality material and workmanship. The seams were executed perfectly and the fabric was soft and sturdy. The waistband is sporty and fun with that hint of sexiness that N2N always delivers.

The blend of 90% cotton and 10% makes for a great pair of underwear that stretches where it should and stays put where it’s supposed to. N2N always finds the best material for making their awesome underwear.

When I put them on I was pleased with the fit and the look. The front pouch was roomy and super comfortable. There was no binding in the legs or the waistband. When I looked in the mirror I was pleased with how they compliment my butt and legs.

My work day was a busy one with lots of moving, bending and lifting. These trunks never once let me down. I did not have to adjust the legs or the pouch once. As usual, it was a warm day and these trunks breathed and kept me cool with no sticky crotch that you can get with so many other underwear.

I wear a size medium and the sizing was perfect. I often worry that with my thick thigh muscles they leg openings will be tight but these trunks fit like a glove.

Pros:

  • Soft, stretchy but firm material
  • Fun and sexy waistband
  • Great color combination
  • Perfect for all day wearing with no problems
  • Great fit for your butt and crotch

Cons:

  • Limited color options

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 10
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Material – 10
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 10

These trunks were provided by N2N Bodywear. You can see their full line at www.n2nbodywear.com

revIt was 8 years ago that Cocksox sprung onto the men’s underwear scene. At that time I was just a blog reader and came across these amazing pics of a guy in red bikinis. It was much later I realized that this brief is the CX01. The pictures were amazing and the pouch is what intrigued me the most. Not being a blogger at the time, I would have to long for this amazing undies.

In 2007 I was a college student. So, getting undies shipped from Australia was not something that was in my budget. At the time I was shopping the underwear sections at Marshall’s & TJMaxx. Spending full price on undies was not in the budget. Later in 2007 I joined another underwear blog. I was a writer and one of the guys had an extra CX01 White and sent it to me. I got it and immediately put it on and I couldn’t believe the fit. I was upset it wasn’t the red that was in the picture, but it fit amazing regardless of the color.

The pouch is the most important thing in underwear to me. The pouch in the Cocksox is a one piece design. There are not straps or such to keep you in place. Like the name says it’s a sox for your, you know…The Cocksox famous pouch feels like was made just for me. It fit me like a glove!  I fell in love right then with Cocksox. It holds everything in place, which I like in my underwear. The pouch also has the ability to sort of enhance what you have. It pushes up and out. So be careful what you wear because someone may get an eyeful depending on what you wear!

Another thing about Cocksox is they have lasted a long time.  The very first pair I have from 2007 I still have and wear! Its not often you have a pair that last that long. The only problem I had with Cocksox over the last few years was with the Backstage line. Backstage is a line made out of modal. Modal fabric is super thin and can tear easily, but it feels so soft and breathable. Its still an amazing line. I have never worn anything I didn’t like from Cocksox

We flash forward to 2009. UNB is about six months old and I start working with brands. One of the first I ever dealt with was Cocksox. Before going any farther I have to say there are few brands that I don’t like working with, and those that are…well I won’t say here! But I got to know the gang at Cocksox. First through email. I did a lot with them back in the day and would cover them I think every week.

Then in 2010 I met them in Vegas for the first time. It was so much fun putting the face with the name. I have since met with them a few times in Vegas and have done countless reviews. I used to hog all the reviews for myself but since shared with others on the site. This is evident by the underwear reviews we just recently posted for them and the new CSX line. They are some of the most amazing people in undies. They introduced me to a candy from Australia called Minties and i’m so upset they aren’t here in the US.

One of the more humorous things that ever happened was back in 2010 I did a review for the CX01 in Magenta/Pink. I was going to wear it to an interview. I looked down and I swear it looked like I was smuggling softballs in my pants. I went “There is no way I can wear this to an interview.” So I promptly changed.

I want to note, I Googled to try and find the original picture. But no luck then I realized my personal blog I started in 2004, eventually became UNB. So I searched UNB and on page 28 I found the original pics! So they are posted here! They aren’t big but still amazing and bring back memories.

I love it when companies really succeed. To stand the test of time and be in the underwear market for 8 years is an accomplishment. I say, CONGRATS COCKSOX, we hope to have you around for 8 more years, at least…
