In case you missed it here is Arthus & Nico at Indulge Inn. This was shot in Palm Springs I believe last month in their underwear brand PetitQ
Every guy needs some basics in his underwear drawer. You know the classic white or black brief. I think it’s a staple for any guy. This week the Urban Basics Brief is the $12 Tuesday pair. The pair only comes in white and black. The price is so good you can get one of each. Also while you’re on the specials page check out the other pairs on sale. Go to the Baskit site and go under specials!
Are you a fan of trunks and jocks? If you are the new Coolflex Arrow Jock is for you! Andrew Christian is always taking underwear we know and turning it into something new and fun. This pair has the cut of a Trunk but with the sides and back cut out (as you can see with the picture).
You maybe asking, the pouch is only attached in one place, what makes it so you won’t fall out? The answer to that question is it features the Show-it Tech. So you will be held in place through out the day. Which is a good thing, because we don’t want underwear that we fall out of it.
Some things you guys should know about this pair are: The pair is a limited edition pair so once its gone its gone and won’t be made again. Next, it’s made out of a modal fabric. Modal is one of my favorite fabrics. It feel so amazing against the skin. Last its just super fun. The hybrid underwear is big right now in the world of men’s underwear. Designers are always taking two styles and meshing them together to see what they can come up with! Its really cool to see the designs.
If you want to get this pair go to the Andrew Christian website, it retails for $24.93. Post contains an affiliate sales link

Fetishwear is HUGE this year. It’s becoming more widely accepted by the masses. We are allowing ourselves to be more creative in our underwear for reg and fun times with our partner. Go Softwear has released the Hard Core line. I first saw this line in Magic. It was great seeing them there after a year or so! I got a quick overview of the lines and this one jumped out at me. Its a mix of fetish and leather and mixed with red, blue and yellow accents.
Here is what Go Softwear says about the line:
Introducing the HARD CORE Collection by GO SOFTWEAR where fetish attire meets fashion! This assemblage is designed with a bit of an edge by incorporating both pleather (faux leather) and athletic mesh in colors and bodies that allow individuals to express a provocative, daring and mischievous side! Whatever your choice we want you to look great in one of our HARD CORE creations.
The entire collection consists: Bikini Brief, Jockstrap, Jock Brief, Backless sq-cut, Zip Front Tee, Freedom Cup, Quilted Jockstrap, Zip Front Tee, Vulcan singlet and our popular and best seller Dungeon short.
I think this line is perfect for those wanting leather but not the leather price. The price ranges are from $30-40 in a great price range! So head over to Go Softwear to see the entire line.
The worldwide fever for the World Cup strikes down under as well! This is a video from Funky Trunks staringMelbourne City players Jeremy Walker and Andrew Redmayne plus our Commonwealth Games athletes – swimmers Belinda Hocking and Koti Ngawati and diver Grant Nel.
The World Cup is under way! Why not show some Brazil Pride? If you are going out to the beach try the Brazil Swim Brief. The back features the Brazil Flag!
Male Power doesn’t always make super sexy underwear. They have been known to make some great underwear you could wear to the gym. The Bamboo line is one that comes to mind that did very well for them. The newest line is the Rayon Swag line. It gives you the feel of silk without the price of silk!
Here is the write up from Male Power:
Men who like the look and feel of silk, but not the cost, will really enjoy the Rayon Swag collection from Male Power.
Rayon, nylon and spandex combine to create highly attractive undergarments that are sensationally soft and stretchable. The fabric, in either black or taupe, contains a subtle texture and a hint of sheen. Rayon Swag comes in five classic styles, including racer back tank top, mini short, wonder bikini, wonder thong and posing strap.
The classically styled wonder bikini and thong offer full, round uplift pouches. The mini short pairs perfectly with the tank top. None of the garments contain any exposed elastic.

There is a new store on the market and it’s from an underwear blogger. So we had to interview him and talk about his journey form blogger to retailer. Also find out what his store is all about!
So what made you start an underwear store after being an underwear blogger?
Ever since I was a young boy I’ve always known I’ve had a passion for men’s underwear. Underwear to me is so attractive. I founded UndieFan.com when I was 18 and it’s been a passion of mine ever since. Blogging for so long made me realize that I love independent underwear brands. It also helped me learn that my favorite style is the jockstrap. I founded HisJock.com to help me express my passion for underwear, jockstraps, independent brands, customer service and retail. I get so excited when I receive an order that I drop whatever I’m doing to pack that order, and ship it out. As a customer for so long I know how excited I am to get my undies in the mail.
Tell us about your store? What brands do you currently carry?
His Jock focuses mostly on independent brands and jockstraps. If you love a good jock then you have to check out our brands. We currently carry 2EROS, Cell Block 13, Colt, N2N Bodywear, Papi, Pistol Pete, Supawear, Timoteo, and Todd Sanfield. We also plan on adding more very shortly.
What sets you apart from other retailers on the market?
Any customer can contact me direct. I’m willing to help any customer at anytime, personally. Like I said above I drop whatever I do to get a new order out. I love talking to customers about underwear and helping them with their needs. Also I’m open to hearing about new brands we should pick up based off what customers want!
Who are your current favorite underwear companies?
Currently I’m obsessed with the new Todd Sanfield Collection. I love the colors they used and each style has a great fit. Not to mention that the fabric is uber soft. I’m also very obsessed with anything that PUMP! comes out with. Hopefully we will pick them up at our store sometime soon.
I’d love to offer all your readers Free shipping with the discount code “UNB”. Only applies to U.S. orders at His Jock.
Looking for new fetish wear? Then you need to check out the new Cellblock13 Stryker pant and harness. The pants have cut outs, and if I recall correctly from Magic each has cut outs on the pants. Its an amazing process they do! Timoteo’s Cellblock13 is becoming one of the must have fetishwear brands.
Our Brief Distraction today goes along our over 30 post last week. This is Rob Richards. He emailed us last week saying he’s a model at the age of 58, Yes we just said age of 58! So see you can wear swim briefs over the age of 30!
Modus Vivendi always creates super fun underwear and swim. The new collection has a denim look. As you can tell by the silver pair above! Styles that are in this collection are a boxer, brief and low cut brief. The styles are available in gold, silver and khaki. My personal favorite is the Low Rise Brief, this is a true bikini and something we definitely need in swimwear.
I think this is definitely a fun collection. The metallic material is shiny but not over the top like some metallic fabrics can be! Being just released these should be at your favorite retailers soon or on the Modus Vivendi Site.
Modus Vivendi (http://www.e-modusvivendi.com) is proud to announce the release of its new swimwear collection 2014. Inspired by the eternal elements of the Greek summer, the collection embraces the gold of the sun, the silver flash of the sea and the deep, tranquil greens of the forests and mountains. Available in luminous gold, shiny silver and khaki, this first part of Modus Vivendi’s new swimwear is the perfect start to a dazzling summer – Greek style!

Its Summer time and that a means Swimwear season! It’s time to put on your favorite swim and jump in. If you’re looking for a new favorite then check out Aronik Swimwear! They have some great new suits
Every week Baskit has a great sale on a pair of underwear. This week the pair is the Light Yoga Tee. So you can get a great t-shirt for a low price. Check out all the colors and all the other pairs on sale on the specials page.
It is now swim season and it’s time to spend as much time by the beach/pool as possible. I would totally agree with this but here in the ATL it’s been rainy and cloudy every time you turn around. So you can wear swimwear but it hasn’t been ideal conditions. So I used the Teamm8 Lanai swim shorts to hang out in one day by the pool. This was the first time I ever wore Teamm8. So I was excited to give them a try.
I will say it’s not normally the style I would wear. This pair has a very retro look, it reminds me of something from the 70’s/80’s, and yes I was old enough to remember them! So I was a little apprehensive about them. Back in the day I hated these types of swimwear and hoped that I wouldn’t have a bad flash back! But, this is Teamm8 and they make out of modern materials/fabrics, so I should have known this wasn’t going to happen.
I wore these to a pool that really isn’t swim brief friendly. It was a friends neighborhood pool, but I did keep my swim briefs under them, I like the extra support. As I relaxed in the pool and hung out this did fit great. The color got a little big of attention because it’s not the usual navy, white or red most swim trunks are. A few people complimented me on them and asked who they were. I forget you talk to people outside of the underwear/swimwear world, most of the population hasn’t heard of Teamm8. Well I am changing it for them an other brands.
Back to my day. These dried pretty fast and didn’t bunch or bind when going form pool to laying out and such. One of my biggest gripes in swimwear are those that don’t dry fast. I hate sitting in wet clothes for over an hour! The 100% nylon dried pretty fast so I was super happy.
The color I received was Watermelon. You are going to make a statement in this pair. It has a small palm tree print that alternates black and white tree. The pair has white piping around the lets and seams. It also includes a drawstring waist. Which is pretty standard for swimwear. If the Watermelon is not your style check out the mint (green) pair.
As for sizing, definitely pay attention to sizing charts. It was a little tight on me, just because I have gained a few pounds. Which I’m not happy about but I plan on going back down. However, that said you can get the right size if you check out the sizing guide. Their chart is easy to find, a button next to the size selection brings it up!
Pros:
- Great construction
- Attention getting color
- dries fast
Cons;
- retro design some guys may not like
- Colors maybe too bold for some guys
Ratings
- Fit – 9
- Sizing – 9
- Construction – 9

Teamm8 furnished this pair for review. You can find it on their site for $64 AUS
We are bringing you a new fitness column. We have had them off and on the last few years but have a great guy now wanting to share his info with you. The first column is about a 30 Day Squat Challenge:
Spring is here and summer is upon us. It is that time we start wearing shorts and swim briefs (especially if you are take the swim briefs challenge). Get way to get your legs in shape for the summer and you need to start now. Weather you are new to fitness or a fitness buff this challenge (and squats in general) is good for all! Don’t care who you are everyone likes and wants a nice firm shapely bubble but.
The squat is one, if not, the best exercise you can do for your body. It works the whole body not just your legs. It activates the back to stay tall in the movement lots of core stability to move and a whole lot of legs get shaped up and stronger.
How to do this challenge:
The number of squats as your progress maybe a little daunting but do not worry. You have all day to do them. You can do 20 – 25 at a time though out the day. Another nice thing is you don’t need to go to the gym to do this. You can do your squats anyway you can stand up, at home, on an elevator between floors, at the beach, etc.
- Anchor you heals into the ground in an athletic stance with the feet slightly turned out (athletic stance has some variation depending on your hip flexibility and mobility. Good rule is anywhere from hip width to a toe heal wider on both legs).
- Keep your torso as tall as possible (chest lifted) through out the movement. Shoulder blade pulled together and core engagement and working
- Press your hips back (hip hinge) to start the movement (as if you were sitting in a chair behind you). This is how you will squat down by pressing your hips back. Do not start the movement from you knees. You should work to keep your torso and shines as vertical as you can throughout the movement.
- Squat depth varies from person to person. In the perfect world ass to ankles. Each person’s hip and ankle flexibility will dictate how long then can go. Aim for a depth between your thigh bone being parallel and ass to ankle is get.
Things to think about (it’s a lot but you have 30 day to work on it)
- focus on the muscle you are using. Keep everything strong and engaged
- don’t rush through the movement
- breath! inhale on the down phase exhale on the effort or push phase
- on the up phase think of pulling the floor or ground apart as you stand
- squeeze your glutes (butt) at the top to finish
- arms either straight out from your shoulders parallel to the ground or hands on your hips for balance.
