We have heard from many of you that you guys are taking out Swim Brief Challenge. We thought we’d share another great pair to wear. The Cabo Brief from Pistol Pete is something a bit different. It has a bit of a retro vibe with the belt and plaid print.
Pistol Pete is no stranger to plaids in swimwear. I think it’s one of their signature fabrics that they have had over the years. This pair comes in a blue and pink plaid. I really like them both but LOVE the pink plaid (above). It is a plaid fabric that isn’t feminine but has a masculine feel to me. Granted, not everyone is going to get that vibe but I think it’s just really a great pair.
The Belt is another signature of Pistol Pete. The one thing about them is they always march to their own drummer. They have a unique style that you don’t see on the market today. So this gives them a solid core of brand loyal customers. If you are interested in the Cabo Brief you can get it for $48.50 at the Pistol Pete Website.
In many places of the world it’s Pride. We want to Wish you Happy Pride as well as does Timoteo! If you’re out a t pride have a fun day and remember the sunscreen1!

Their 25% off sale includes top-of-the-line, all-American brands like Pistol Pete, Timoteo, Go Softwear, N2N, Sauvage Swimwear and LA Sporting Club.

Vuthy Sim (pronounced Vooh-Tee Sim) has released its “Old Glory” swim suit in thong, bikini and square cut ranges as part of its rollout of new designs for 2014. The brand also plans soon to expand its Old Glory line to include briefs, boxers and board shorts to cover the full gamut of tastes in silhouettes. The handsome American flag print has proven to be exceptionally popular with buyers in its early days on the market.
This is not your grandmother’s flag print, like so many kitschy fabrics on the market that seem more suited to a quilt than a swimsuit for the stylish man. Inspired by the American flag, “Old Glory” ranges allow you to show off your July 4th pride each day at the beach or poolside. In patriotic red, white and blue colors, you can’t be guaranteed a salute, but most likely attention and a few compliments.
An elastic waistband eliminates the need for a messy drawstring. The front pouch provides comfort and fit to hold and accentuate a man’s natural assets. As always, you get Vuthy Sim’s unequaled attention to fit, design and quality of workmanship. Vuthy Sim’s fashions have been enjoyed worldwide for two decades, and have been seen on Broadway in the shows “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Spamalot.”
Vuthy Sim is constantly tweaking his designs to assure the best fit. Nobody likes a swimsuit that pinches (in the wrong places!) or rides up and needs to be constantly yanked down. That’s certainly not a problem with a swimsuit from Vuthy Sim.
Recommended Vuthy Sim sizing: small 28-30, medium 31-33, large 34-36, x-large 37-39. Free shipping in the USA! Only $10 to the rest of the world. The ranges vary in price from $36-$52 USD, and can be found online by visiting www.vuthysim.com.

Are you looking for a new brand of underwear that is fashionable, classic and fun? You maybe asking is there such a thing that is classic and fun? I say yes there is! That brand is Hawai Original Underwear. It’s a line of boxer briefs in really great colors, cuts and styles.
Their official statement for this year is: “The HAWAI collection is for the guy who lives on the edge, offering up a funky mix of fashionable and functional undergarments that go above and beyond normal underwear. From athletically-inclined boxer briefs to a color and pattern extravaganza, the Spring/Summer 2014 HAWAI collection is ideal for the guy who puts as much thought into his underwear as he does his outerwear.”
The line is not your boring every day boxer briefs. You won’t find this underwear at your local big box store. They mix things up by using different styles (long & reg boxer briefs with 1 brief style). The next thing I like is the great colors that you don’t find in many underwear collections. They use blues, corals and grays in their solids and fun patterns. Lastly is the the use of mesh fabrics to create something fun. Certain pairs are all mesh (except the pouch) or mesh panels. The full sports mesh styles that I wish I could fit in. The legs are mesh and the pouch is solid. This cut is prob my favorite and the main pic here!
Like what you see? Then you should def check out the entire line and go shopping! If you want to find them, go like the Hawai Original Underwear Facebook Page or you can shop on Amazon for them!
Addicted has used the guys from BelAmi to be in the pictures for their current collection. Here is a behind the scenes video about the shoot from Addicted.
This is the Throwback Thursday edition of the Brief Distraction. This features Pikante from 2103. We hope you enjoy a look back at the collection.
I am not the best person on Twitter. I have a few accounts I have to keep up with so I”m not always on, I’m trying to be better for UNB! I ran across Helux Gear on Twitter. I looked at their site and they are doing something new in the world of mens underwear. They have a pouch that is made like a double helix. Yup the pouch sort of wraps around to form a fly in the pouch
When I first saw this on their site it looked like it could be really cool or come off bad. So when they offered to send me some I jumped at the chance. I got to give these a test run and was super excited. The package came and it has three pairs in it! The first pair I will review is Brief.
I will say I loved the light blue color. It’s almost a sky blue in color. The pair put me in a really good mood! I slid it on and at first I was like. HUH? Its not a pouch I was accustomed too. It seemed to be a little lower. But with that said, when i talked to them they said the first batch didn’t have the exact pouch they wanted. So I kept that in mind when I put them on.
After a second I figured out to adjust myself in them and they fit pretty well. Granted I still felt a bit wonky in them, but I made me wonder if the day went on would it hold up.
The pouch, as many of you know is the most important factor for me. It can make a or break a far for me. So when you create a new pouch I am instantly interested and hope it lives up. After I got positioned in them and noticed it was a bit lower than i normally like. It didn’t constrict or bind me like I thought it may but felt like a normal pouch. As the day went on, I didn’t notice it was any different.
The pouch also is very functional. I know we have many readers who hate a fly in underwear. So when I got home I had to see how it worked. The fly is held in place by elastic. It’s not binding or cut off any circulation. I pulled the elastic on the pouch to the side and it was easier than most fly to use. I put it back in place and hoped it would go back in place. A little adjustment was needed but it held everything in place. I really like the new innovative design.
The sizing was pretty good. I wear a size 38 was it right now and the large in the brand run 36-38. It’s pretty standard sizing as you would expect. The fit was pretty good to me so I doubt you will have issues with sizing if you get a pair. The waistband fit great and other than the pouch feeling wonky to begin with, it was a great pair that held up pretty well throughout the day.

This pair was furnished by HeluxGear for review. You can find this and the other two styles on their site for $24.00. If you’re looking for a fun new design check these out!
I had a reader (who shall be nameless for now) email me and he told me that he tried new underwear. While this may not be ground breaking news for many of you, but there are tons of guys out there who stick to just one style. A reader reaching out me made me super excited that we exposed a guy to some undies and he took a chance on it. They could be big boxer briefs, briefs or jock fans. They rarely try things outside of their styles.
I am the kind of guy I like a little of everything. I have underwear from thongs/g-strings to long boxer briefs. Also I have everything in between. I have not always been so open. My teens and till probably my early 30’s I wouldn’t venture outside of briefs. But once I did I didn’t look back.
So what makes you guys try something new? I think it depends on which type of underwear guy you are.
Which type of underwear guy are you?
Tried and True – You have a style and you stick to it. You know what you like and like what you know. You don’t venture out to other styles. When you go shopping you know what styles and brands you like
Dabbler – You have a main pair you like but you’re not opposed to trying something new when it strikes your eye. When you go shopping you look at your favorite style but will browse other sections and occasionally buy something outside your fav style.
Equal Opportunity Underwear wearer – You have a massive collection of everything. Your daily mood determines your underwear. When you go shopping you check out everything and could buy any style.
The Experimenter – The experimenter is one who wants the newest designs. You don’t want plain and boring and are always on the cutting edge of underwear. You want things your friends don’t have. When you go shopping you leave the boring stuff and try to find the newest colors, styles and there is on telling which you will buy
I would say I’m more of an Equal Opportunity Underwear Wearer. I am open to to any style while I prefer briefs but I won’t rule a pair out, I even have a pair of boxers I like. Let us know what type of guy you are!

The World Cup is the hottest thing that has happened to men’s underwear this year. If you’re a fan of Soccer/Football or not, you can’t help but notice all the Brazilian themed underwear. This only will keep going till the 2016 Summer Olympic games. Ken Wroy has a new collection called “Brazil Fever.”
We wondered where they received their inspiration and they said, “We took inspirations from the pavements of Copacabana to the birds of Amazon, from the Favelas to the Jesus of Rio”
The collection is on their site now! The pairs are the Brazil Flag, Camo-Favela, Capeira, Birdie, Copacabana and Jesus of Rio. All available in a brief, boxer brief, trunk and low rise! If you have Brazil Fever go check out the undies from Ken Wroy
