Aronik is one of those small companies that could! You know similar to the little engine that could. They flew onto the swimwear scene last year with the DNA Magazine cover and haven’t stopped. They just shot their latest line in Puerto Rico so that will be out soon!
This weeks Baskit $12 Tuesday is for the Jock fans! The pair this week is the Contrast Jock! You can get a great jock in some really fun colors. Also while you’re shopping check out all the other sales on the sales page, including more jocks! Go to the Baskit Website and under specials!
Last April a new brand came on the scene called SUKREW. It’s a funny name for a really interesting underwear brand. The owner took his 20 years of design experience and turned it to the world of underwear. Their philosophy is “Our goal is to help you to look and feel sexual, sensual and confident, through creative designs, expert workmanship and quality materials”
The first pair they created was the y U Trunk. The U Trunk is made with U panel that makes you hang free. So you get the feel of underwear but also the feel of going commando. I have seen the pics and they look interesting. While it may not be for everyone its def something new in the world of men’s underwear.
Granted, some of you out there are going, but I like the mystery of underwear and not showing off what I have when out on a date or in general. Well, they have released a full brief that has an enclosed pouch! So you won’t have to worry about lack of support or modesty.
The pair we are profiling is the Union Jack Full Brief. The first reason we choose it is they are based out of the UK. Its only fitting to have the Union Jack on a pair of underwear. We always see the American flag on undies. It’s about time to see more countries on them. Next, the pouch looks really cool. They say the pouch will enhance your package. So it won’t have any straps or instructions how to put on. Lastly, they are a relatively new company and not in the US. We are definitely trying to bring you brands you may not know about!
If this pair is a little too wild for you they do have the same brief in solid colors. We will be interviewing them soon to bring you more info about the brand and how they got started!
The last time I saw SUKREW was at the end of last year before they added to their collections with the full briefs. Now they have 5 different collections and the original fit turnk and briefs, along with the full cut trunk and briefs. The Union Jack Full brief retails for £24.99 at their site. You can find them at http://www.sukrew.com/

We kicked off our UNB Swim Brief Challenge page and thought we needed to share a great swim company we have covered. Marcuse is out of Australia and we think you would look amazing in this brief this summer on the beach. Check them out!
It’s underwear release time! That mean’s its basically Christmas morning for me. I have known what a lot of brands were doing and now I can report on them. This happens two times a year in the spring (March-April) and then fall (August-September). Unlike most companies N2N Bodywear just releases one time a year in the spring so that makes this one extra fun for me.
I had the opportunity to sit down with Andrew, the owner of N2N Bodywear, in Vegas to talk about the new line. I didn’t get as much time as I had hoped with them. This year they showed in Magic rather than a suite. There was less time for me to get worked in, but they are one of my favorite brands and I was glad for the time I got. After the show I got to see the line sheets of the entire collection. So I was excited to see some of the swim and active wear. The underwear has a few new lines but not as many as the swim line!
This is a brief overview of the new collection. This is by no means everything that is new but some of the highlights. We will go into them in more detail on a pair by pair basis.
Underwear:
California Dreaming – New for 2014. Is a collection who’s colors are inspired by California Available in a jock, bikini, brief, trunk and tank. Colors are red, pink, green and purple.
Classic Cotton – New for 2014. Have you ever wanted a simple pair of N2N Bodywear? The Classic Cotton is their basic collection. If you ever wanted the great N2N fit in a more classic style this if for you! Available in jock, g, bikini, pouch brief, pouch boxer, boxter, and long john. Colors available are Sunny Yellow, Crimson, Black and White.
Signature Collection – This is one of my favorite collections N2N has created. It has one of the most comfortable trunks ever made. This years collection is made out of a black/blue, white/blue or grey/blue combination. This line still has the same styles.
Swimwear:
Laguna – For some reason I have really gotten into prints. In previous years I have stayed away from them, but something about this year is making me gravitate to them. The Laguna line of swim is a bright blue/purple print of palm tress, its’ super cool. It’s available in bikini, trunk and jammer.
Prime BOLD Sport – Have you ever stayed away from N2N swimwear because you didn’t want to show off too big a bulge? I know it sound crazy since this what N2N is known for, but some want a more conservative cut. The Bold Sport has the traditional cut of N2N swim without a defined pouch. Colors available are BOLD in Neon Orange, Neon Green and Navy. Styles are Sport Brief and Trunk
Daredevil – If you want to go to the other end of the spectrum from the Bold Sport, then the Daredevil is for you. The Daredevil is the skimpiest pair of swim they make. It’s a string bikini in bright and vibrant colors. The colors are Fuchsia, Yellow, Purple and Neon Orange.
This is just an overview of the new collection, there is a lot more to see! Head over to the N2N Bodywear site.
There are three occasions that get Jockstrap Central really excited: Christmas, Birthdays, and the arrival of the new Nasty Pig shorts. Partly because they’re so sexy but mostly because they become the Jockstrap Central office attire for the summer. Well, the 2014 Nasty Pig are here and they’re everything Jockstrap Central hoped for – short, fitted, stylish, comfortable and totally revealing:
Streamline Trunk
The Streamline Trunk, although worn tight and fitted, allows you to move more fluidly in these bright and fresh short shorts, constructed from a double-faced fabric made to Nasty Pig’s specifications: the outside is a light mesh that’s firmly affixed to the inside lightweight cotton fleece. Not only does it feel great cradling your “boys” but it also shows everything you’re packing – so commando is the way to go.
They also feature an interior pocket for small items, reversed fabric at the elastic waistband, leg holes and down the sides as racing stripes, and a contrast color rubber Nasty Pig logo on the left leg. Finally, a draw string completes this awesome trunk.
Constellation Trunk
What we love most about these very retro boxing-inspired shorts is that the fabric is sturdy enough and the leg opening are just wide enough that your bulging package could cause some naughty up-short viewing opportunities – especially if you’re free-balling.
The Constellation Trunk is low cut and punchy featuring the wear-it-proud Nasty Pig name across the front woven right into the high quality elastic. They’ve used just enough lightweight non-snag nylon and purposely omitted side pockets to show off your goods to perfection. There is, however, a little inside pouch pocket for your bare necessities. There’s no lining, and that’s the point, but if you really want, wear a jockstrap underneath for a little support.
Finally, printed constellation side panels running vertically down each thigh are out of this world.
The Streamline shorts come in white with grey detailing or light blue with navy detailing and modeled by hunky Jockstrap Central model Tristian. The Constellation Trunks come in either black or blue and are modeled by Jockstrap Central’s handsome boy-next-door model Adam Stray. Even better, if your order is $25 or more, you will get free USA shipping and discounted world shipping

I love getting pics from Adrian C. Martin. He’s done some great work for many underwear/swimwear brands. This time he’s working with Marcuse. The model is newcomer Samuel Acosta. These were taken in Tenerife, Canary Islands. Enjoy guys!
Are you going to participate in our Swim Brief Challenge? I know a lot of our readers already wear them and wouldn’t wear anything else to the beach/pool. Whereas, we have readers how are, for the first time are considering wearing them. This isn’t just gay guys but some of our straight guys are included on potential new swim brief participants.
So It got me thinking how can we give you guys great info but not overload you guys here on the blog? A reader sent a message on Facebook saying we needed a Facebook page for the Challenge. It struck me that’s a great way to share some of the best swim briefs of the season. So a few times a week we will post a link to some great swim briefs. The page can be found at UNB Swim Brief Challenge.
This isn’t the only place we want to share our challenge. We want you guys to submit your pictures in your swim briefs to the Underwear News Briefs Tumblr! Show us you on the beach, at the pool, laying out or on a boat! Show us you are having fun with the challenge! You can submit pics on our page and we will tag them #UNBSwimbrief.
Lastly, you can always hit us up on Twitter and let us know when you’re wearing them! Just use the hastag #UNBSwimbrief.
It’s spring and time to wear some colorful undies! The new collection from Mundo Unico is out! These are a part of the collection, we will bring you more on it soon!
MalePower has a pretty loyal following amongst underwear lovers. They are known for their fetish wear, mesh materials and revealing cuts! The perfect example of this is the Fetish line that has a leather like material with barely there pouches and sometimes no pouch at all! They are all about having a guy feel and look sexy! I have tried a few pairs and the zipper trunk I reviewed a few years ago was well made and felt great!
I hear some of you saying that you don’t want to wear mesh or fetish wear. MalePower is not all about barely there underwear. About two years ago they released the Bamboo collection. The Bamboo is a more conservative line with traditional cuts (briefs, trunks and t shirts). It has been a best seller for them.
MalePower is making another collection that goes with the Bamboo styling. That collection is the Heather Rib Collection. Here is what they say about the collection: “Heather Rib is the perfect style for men who prefer to keep things simple and sexy. These shorts, jocks, thongs and bikinis come in basic grey, accented by a black, elastic logo waistband. Made with a polyester rayon fabric, they are smooth, soft and incredibly comfortable. Look sharp and feel great in Male Power’s most basically beautiful underwear”
It could be considered a basic collection from MalePower. It is their most conservative collection to date I think. One reason I say this is because the grey fabric is not something they are known for at all. They are better known for purples, greens and reds. So it’s refreshing to see something like this from them, knowing they can make a classic pair. Not everyone wants to wear a leather like pair to work!
This was just released and should be at retailers soon! We will bring you more about MalePower over the next week!
Today’s Brief Distraction is a Throwback Thursday! This is from Vegas last year and the N2N Bodywear collection. Today the new line is OUT so go check out the N2N site and see whats new!
Here’s what’s hot in the US from Mensunderwearstore.com. Each month we team up with Mensunderwearstore to bring you some underwear you know and some new pairs you may not! Brands this month include CK, 2(X)ist, for those you know and Bread & Boxers for one you don’t!
Private Structure Contour Briefs
Private Structure’s Contour Briefs bring basic comfort together with a sexy, low-rise shape. The focus here is color. If you’re a guy who’s used to neutral basics and want to amp up your style game, these briefs come in 10 colors, including 6 bright shades that are perfect (and just in time) for spring. The briefs are made of a cozy stretch cotton and feature a contour pouch for ultimate shape and support.
Calvin Klein Athletic Trunks
Quick-drying, supportive underwear for the gym make for a great workout. The Calvin Klein Athletic Trunks provide the best moisture-absorbing technology and support level. These trunks stretch to the body, and the nylon fabric won’t bunch or hold in sweat. Whether you’re pushing your body during an intense workout or going on a light jog, you’ll have the perfect level of comfort in these trunks. Plus, they come in seven color variations from basic black to bold red.
Calvin Klein Dual Tone Hip Briefs
Calvin Klein’s Dual Tone collection gives a cool shift to the brand’s classic styles. The underwear are woven in a way
that when they stretch around the body, they reveal an extra layer of color that complements the top layer. Like all other CK styles, the hip briefs feature a supportive pouch, a logo waistband, and a figure-flattering fit that’s unmistakably classic.
Bread & Boxers Briefs
If you’re more of a basic-basics guy, Bread & Boxers, the trending lifestyle brand, produces some of the best basics on the market. B&B’s underwear are made of soft stretch cotton and come in the most comfortable basic fits. These briefs are no-brainers; Sure, they’re not flashy and come in three neutral colors, but these are the kind of comfortable, well-fitting undies you don’t have to think about when you’re getting ready in the mornings. Call them “no-stress underwear.” We call them the new basic must-haves.
2(x)IST Turbo Collection
2(x)IST’s Turbo collection is easily our hottest pick of the month. These microfiber underwear and tank tops come in a stretchy, smooth microfiber and 5 color combinations in an edgy design. All of the styles (the briefs,
trunks and jock straps) hug the body for an extra sexy look and comfortable support. The best part: our entire selection is 25% off Snag a pair while you still can. These undies are going fast.
PUMP Touchdown Trunks
Sporty underwear is right on-trend for spring, and no other brand does this style better than PUMP! These trunks are made of mesh fabric that’s slightly see-through, giving it a hint of sexiness. With a bold logo waistband and bold striped leg openings to give them a rugby vibe, these trunks provide style, contouring and a comfortable fit whether you’re wearing these during a hot and heavy workout or sporting them casually.

aussieBum has just released the new range AusBoy. The AusBoy range is the newest ergonomically designed underwear. First, let me say that usually aB makes really good undies and I have never had an issue with any fit. But, if they are entering this market I welcome it and feel they will hit a home run. Taking the great construction and mixing in the erognomic design how could they not win!
The first thing that catches your eye is the unique panel design. This design is made to fit a guy and how he moves in sports and in every day life. It creates a pouch to give you support without binding or restricting motion. The pictures feature the model playing cricket, but I have found underwear made for sports is great for every day wear.
The next thing that made me take notice is the material. The AusBoy line is made out of modal. Which has become my favorite fabric in underwear. This is for two reasons. Modal is super soft and feels amazing against the skin. Second, modal is very breathable and keeps you cool. Modal has become the material companies are starting to use in underwear on a bigger scale. I hope we will see it become the dominant fabric.
Those of you who have been long time readers know I love a waistband. It’s one of the reasons I buy a pair. The AusBoy has a new aB Waistband. I like it it’s a bold design and available in black/red (Omega) or blue and red (Alpha). This is the only color in the pair. The body of the pairs are white.
AusBoy is available in a brief, hipster (trunk) and L-leg (boxer brief). This is one of the few times I remember aB making a longer legged boxer brief. I vaguely remember one a while back but it’s not a standard style for them. That being said with a pair designed for sports it’s a smart decision to have it in the collection. Many guys prefer this length when wearing underwear for cricket, baseball and such.
It’s always great to see aussiBum’s new pairs. They are not a company that stays in one box and does the same underwear over and over. They are a company that will take risks. The pairs are available now and the pairs cost, Brief $28, Hipster $30 and L-leg $34. All available on the aussieBum site now
We recieved an email with this pic from C-IN2! This is C-IN2’s new model Chris Delbeck wearing a Zen brief; shot by Rick Day. Rick Day has been doing the last few shoots for them. We hope you enjoy the pic!
Modus Vivendi is one of those companies that really has their own vision and sticks to it! This time they have released Dreamland. A collection that will be released in 7 parts from now till the end of summer. This is the first in the series!
The tag line of the campaign is “When dreams become reality.” You will see the models blending into the background in the lifestyle images they have released. The picture above is set in the Wild West, which is a bit of a departure from the Greek heritage, but they still keep their unique take on undies!
Find this and more on their site. Here is their write up for the collection:
Let the self you dream of become reality with Modus Vivendi’s new campaign, Dreamland. Igniting images of men, idols and heroes that fascinate and excite, Dreamland presents some of the world’s most coveted male characters, and invites you to become one of them. Be what you dream.
The campaign starts with the Wild West which features the all new, denim inspired Denim Look briefs, boxers and jocks. They all feature a sexy lace up front with PVC fabric panels, metal eyelets and cords ending in metal aglets with each item having a different mixture of design details that make it really special.

You either love or hate animal prints. I have sort of a love hate relationship myself. Some of the prints are amazing while others are a miss. If you fall into the second part of that we may have an animal print you may love. Papi just released the new Wild Thing collection. It’s available in a jock and trunk. The jock is what we are going to be covering.
The Wild Thing collection is a solid fabric with a cheetah print in the same color. So the print is very slight and not over the top. It adds a bit of style to what would be a solid color. I think they did a great job coming up with this collection. This is because it will allow more guys to step outside their solid underwear box and try something a little more wild!
The jock is a traditional jock. The waistband is a grey 1 1/4 inch branded with the Papi logo in the center. Legs straps really can make or break a jock, this pair has a 3/4 inch leg straps that match their other jocks in their line up. Lastly is the material, it is made out of a 63% Nylon / 32% Polyester / 5% Spandex fabric.
Colors are key to this pair and they have just released four bright fun colors. Those colors are Black, Intensity (Red), Purple and Storm Blue. My favorite is the Black. When you think of a black pair you’re expecting solid dark black. This is more of a grey with the cheetah print.
Papi really created something out of the ordinary with this pair. Hats off to the creativity for this one. It goes along with our philosophic that underwear should be fun and add to your wardrobe. This one would do that and would be great under jeans or even under a suit.
As we stated it’s available in a Brazilian Trunk as well. The jock retails for $28.00 on the Papi site.

Underwear should be fun! PPU has done some great undies for the new collection. The 1412 Brief has a bright pink waistband with a cut out below the waistband and pouch. Also the trim around the legs and pouch are a matching pink! It’s super fun!
Do you remember our video review of this pair? It was BANNED from YouTube, we were told it violated community standards! Now wouldn’t you want a pair so hot you can’t wear it on YouTube? If so then check out the Just /b/ Trunk. It’s available for today for just $12. Check out all the other sales on the specials page on the Baskit Site!
Days of the week underwear is something you think of when you’re younger. It’s a cute way to get When you get older you don’t need a reason to change underwear. We have readers who change their underwear 2-3 times a year. I remember one reader who wore a pair in the morning, then changed at the gym, and then changed after the gym into another pair.
Vizeau has released a new collection called “Days of the Week.” Which is the most conservative style I have seen from the brand! Usually their pairs super skimpy and those who dare to bare and almost show off everything. The new collection is a series of boxer briefs with the days of the week on the waistband. Each one is sold separately, so you can buy your favorite day or get a few!
I Love that that each day has a different color and waistband. It’s not so cookie cutter. Most of our readers want unique and fun underwear, so a brand that makes it all the same is not one you guys would be interested in. Its just enough difference to make the pairs stand out. Each boxer brief/trunk is the same cut but a different main color. On top of that is a tailor made waistband with the name embroidered in to the fabric.
Just by the picture it looks as if each pair does have a defined pouch. So, they took some time to include their style into the pair and not make them so plain. The accent around the pouch also will set off and accent your pouch.
If you have wanted to try Vizeau and didn’t want to go for something wild now is the time to check them out! Also, if you’re a fan of the brand and want to have something you can wear to the gym, they just may have something for you now! Find this and more at the Vizeau site.
We bring you a Style Brief featuring the best in sales in men’s underwear. In our Reader survey you guys said you wanted to get more sales! So we are going to do that for you guys.
