We had a really amazing shoot this year. First off I want to thank our Sponsors, Clever Moda Masculine Underwear, Vuthy Sim Swimwear, Bwet Swimwear, N2N Bodywear, 2EROS and Manus Swimwear. We had a great day to shoot swimwear. Unlike previous years when we had rain and clouds. Our Photographer Ignacio Rivera Jr. out did himself with these pics.

Our three models were Matt, Derek and Martin. You have seen all of them before. Matt has been in two other shoots (Swimwear 2013 and Holiday 2013), Derek (July 2013 Baskit Shoot) and Martin (Holiday 2013) each have been in one other shoot. We def want to work with all of them again soon!

READ ME - GIF 1aussieBum is back at it! This time they are living up to their slogan, “if you doubt yourself…wear something else.” The newest range is the Read between the lines. Which is exactly what you do on the waist band!

They write: aussieBum introduces ‘Read Me’, a fun cheeky product with a conversation starter waistband and first ever side split design. Constructed using soft micro modal fabric for optimum movement and comfort. The soft material and relaxed fit make it the underwear choice for the confident man.

I believe that this pairs waistband is one that must be shown. It would be a big shame to hide it! But, you would want to do it in the right situation. That maybe a night out, on a date or around good friends. I wouldn’t suggest this one to be shown at work.

Next, I’m so happy to see more companies using modal. It has become my favorite fabric for underwear. Not only is it super soft but its great at making you stay cool through out the day.

Lastly, it’s available in a brief and trunk. The colors are red, white and blue with the Read Between the Lines waistband. The brief is around $25 and boxer is about $29. Find these and more at the aussieBum site.

 

MUS May What's Hot CollageSummer is finally upon us! Here are our top 5 picks for May, including bold colors, body-hugging fits and a pair of swim trunks that fit the bill for any occasion.

Made of bamboo rayon, the Zen collection is filled with underwear that are ultra lightweight, soft, and breathable. These undies are versatile – the breathable fabric makes them perfect for the gym, and they’ll keep your body cool throughout everyday wear.

Emporio Armani Stretch Cotton 2 Pack Brief Gray Emporio Armani Stretch Cotton 2 Pack Brief Neon

Emporio Armani Stretch Cotton 2-Pack Briefs

Being on the go, we’re huge fans of 2-packs – especially when they come in two awesome color combinations. The Emporio Armani Stretch Cotton 2-Pack Briefs solve all of our underwear problems. The comfortable fit of these briefs provides support and shape while the two color styles provide an office-appropriate look for daytime (that could be paired with a suit) and a brighter pair for casual clothes. This 2-pack of briefs is perfect for guys who are going from the office to a night on the town. From the dark gray to the neon pair, all you need is a quick change to look great for a hard day’s work or a night out.

Calvin Klein Steel Microfiber Hip Briefs

Calvin Klein’s Steel Microfiber Hip Briefs are a popular seller for us, and this time, CK is back with two awesome new colors – pink and turquoise (or “vivid” and “wattage blue.”) These briefs sit up higher on the hips and guarantee a sexy shape and look. But it’s more than just the look: The microfiber fabric on these briefs is stretchy, breathable and silky-smooth. A comfortable fit and a sexy look – simple as that.

mesh-pollWe are curious if you guys wear mesh underwear? It could be the sheer mesh or the more subtle sports mesh but with no lining. One thing I have discovered here at UNB is mesh crosses sexual orientation. It amazed me how many straight guys LOVE mesh. I thought it maybe too gay but Obviously it doesn’t!

We want to know when you wear it or when you’d like to wear it. Do you wear it all the time? Occaisonally? Only on special Dates? Want to give it a try? or would you never wear it?

Share your opinion on mesh!

gregg-homme-2014-springIt’s time to bring sexy back and that’s what Gregg Homme has in this new collection out today! I got to see this in Vegas and they have done some amazing new pairs. Gregg Homme really pays attention to details. It amazes me what they do ever year to make more fashion forward yet comfortable undies!

Here is the press release:

GREGG HOMME today announced the launch of its new collection, Party Hard. The new products will appear on gregghomme.com on Tuesday May 6th. A collection of sexy, boundary­pushing mens intimate wear, the new collection celebrates the man’s body by enhancing its best feature. Party hard all day and all night with GREGG HOMME, the underwear that begs to be celebrated!

At first glance GREGG HOMME’s new collection offers a bit of something for every man. For those who love a more classic look, the new Micro Modal Airjet Underwear will be your go­to item. If outrageous and unique is the desired style, then Panther or Toga with their outside of the box designs will surely pique your interest. GREGG HOMME’s commitment to attention to detail can be seen in all their items and the new Party Hard collection is no exception.

The new collection introduces some new designs such as:

  • Show Off, a sexy see through, striped fabric.
  • Bandit, glamorous front­laced design in a variety of cuts.
  • Backlace, a unique “avant­garde” laser cut design on jacquard fabric

 

“GREGG HOMME has taken what people love the most and built upon it,” explains Eric Boisvert, President of GREGG HOMME. “We have always focused on fabric and unique designs to offer a product unlike any other. For the Party Hard collection we have introduced new designs that I am positive will intrigue and excite.”

Over the next week we are going to bring you more in depth of each pair in the new line! So stay tuned to find out more about the Party Hard Collection.

COLT_Collection_ad_5755-H-copyAre you familiar with Colt Underwear? It is a line produced by Colt Studios, well known for their “art” pictures and movies. They have been around for many years but had entered the underwear market in the last five years. You may have seen some pics they have done on Tumblr. But you may not have seen much of the underwear before.

This year at Magic I sat down with Timoteo and they informed me they were taking over the Colt line. This seemed natural after the success of the Cellblock13 line, which is the fetish line produced by Timoteo. Colt Underwear now has the quality and design of Timoteo in their revamped underwear line. So you can expect the same wear and tear of Timoteo!

What is in this new line? Here are the new pairs in this new line up

  • Colt Super Low – The same style as the Timote Super Low Brief but in black and white
  • Colt Jock Brief –  A jock brief in a similar cut to the brief (below) also in black and white
  • Colt Signature Jock – A Jock made with the same banded waistband of the Super Low and Jock Brief. Also in black and white
  • Colt Boxer Brief – A flyless boxer brief with a defined pouch and branded waistband. Also in black and white
  • Colt Logo Jockstrap – See the picture above. It has a wide waistband with a traditional elastic waistband with Colt on the front. Also in White and black.

The prices range from $24.95 (for all briefs and jocks) and $29.95 for the Boxer Briefs. Find these pairs on the Colt Website.

Luxe1100_Luxe_F_GrayIt’s that time of week when you get a great pair of underwear from Baskit for just $12! This week its a classic cut that is on sale. The Luxe Brief that is available in black, white and grey with the logo waistband! The best thing about this pair is it’s made out of my favorite material, Modal. It has a modal content of 95% . Check out this pair and others on sale at the specials page on Baskit website.

etienne_tur_2We have made a few suggestions on here and Facebook on what you should wear. We know there are many out there who already wear swim briefs. We think you guys could use a few good suggestions as well! Mixed in with the guys who already wear them some of you really like to show off and wear barely there bikinis! I remember those days and I would have killed for swimwear like this back in the day!

Rufskin has released their swimwear line and one we think you should check out is the Etienne. The name maybe a little strange but the suit is pretty simple. It’s a string bikini. Yes, you heard me right a string bikini swim brief! This style seems to be making a slow come back. Other brands have made strings this year and I think we will see a lot more as swimwear gets smaller. I think the pendulum of swimwear is going from Board shorts to bikinis, but we’re not there yet!

Why should you choose the Etienne? Are you a fan of really color? The pair is available in traditional white and black. It is also has poppy red, purple and turquoise. Rufskin has never been one to shy away from bold colors. Previous years they have had orange, pink and bright green in their color palate.

Here is Rufskin’s description of the pair: “It’s an ultra high-cut Euro style bikini made from shiny nylon spandex fabric that looks wet before you even dive in. The waistband is extra narrow and both the front and back have contoured seams to flatter your physique superbly. The front pouch is lined and adorned with a single branded eyelet detail”

Its a bold and daring swim suit. Rufskin is made for guys who aren’t shy to show off what they have! Just note that the Large only fits 32-34 waist. It retails for $32 on the Rufskin site!

IMG_4141It’s almost that time again friends.  AIDS/Lifecycle 2014 is just around the corner.  This is my second year participating with this great charity event.  I was not sure what I was in for when I signed on last year.  I was told this was to be one of the greatest experiences of the my life.  I am writing today tell you all about the adventure I had and will have again.  I also hope that at the end of this you will open your pockets up to this great charity and help raise money for them.

On June 1st over 2500 cyclists with set out on a 545 mile journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles.  Day 1 through day 7 will have the is group riding between 45 and 110 miles.  Along the way we venture up some fierce hills as well as face some cold mornings.  It goes without saying we torture our bodies to show support for this cause.  Thankfully we have the support of over 500 volunteers who make sure we are well cared for after each day of the ride.  Those wonderful volunteers affectionately called “Roadies” make sure we are fed, watered, and cared for medically.  Probably the most touching is outreach of the communities we ride through from day to day.  Seeing the communities line the streets to wave or a passing motorist honk and shout kudos is amazing.  It is that kind of support that makes each day of agony bearable and even rewarding.  It’s no wonder I signed up for my second year before the my first year was complete.

This group of amazing people come together for the purpose of showing support for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.  All the proceeds from this event help those living with AIDS/HIV and also help in the prevention of these diseases.  Last year a total of over $16 million dollars was raised in the months leading up to day 1 of the event.  I am honored to have been a part of this total and even more so that I am again helping to break new fundraising records.  Knowing that this money goes to those who need it and also that this may help bring an end to these horrible diseases.  Whether gay or straight we all know someone affected.  If we all do our part to bring even greater attention and work together to end AIDS/HIV this soon can be a part of our societies past.

Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I ask you to reach into your pockets and help me raise money for this charity.  It is with your support that the lives of many people can be forever changed.  You can rest easy knowing that your donations help those in need as well as help us riding the route bring greater awareness to this charity and cause.

Please show your support.

mesh-swimwearYou know we are doing the Swim Brief Challenge this year but are you ready for a trend of Mesh Swimwear? Last year N2N Bodywear kicked off this trend with their Pride swim line. The pride was a range of swimwear in the rainbow colors and a sheer mesh back. 

At the time I thought it was a one off swim line. I didn’t expect it to actually catch on and be a trend this year. Well I was wrong and more companies are making mesh swim. But the question is will you guys wear it? 

N2N continued this trend with the new Pride Competitor line. This time the entire back is not mesh. The mesh panel starts on the left side by the pouch and continues around to the back seam. They always create fun and sexy swimwear. 

N2N Is not the only brand now selling mesh swimwear. Vuthy has a whole range of mesh swim. Unlike N2N, Vuthy’s line has pairs made entirely out of mesh that leave nothing to the imagination. I know some of our readers will love this. I for one am not sure I’d wear mesh swim. 

If you are one who wants to dare to bare everything in mesh swimwear the pairs of Vuthy you will want to check out are:
 

  • Mesh Erotic (bikini & trunk) – A black patterned mesh fabric – Full mesh
  • Paisley Mesh Erotic (bikini & trunk) a purple paisley mesh fabric – Full Mesh
  • Mesh Hologram Erotic (bikini) – a black mesh with a bit of bling – full mesh
  • Tiger Mesh Erotic (brief in white and black) – a tiger print pouch with mesh sides and back. 

It’s a very interesting trend in the Men’s Swimwear. Would you dare to wear mesh swimwear in public? If so where? If you do then check out N2N and Vuthy !
