n2n-singletsI am a lover of underwear, obviously. But I also love tight clothing that is sexy to wear and sexy to see/be seen in. One of my favorites is singlets: even though it’s not really underwear I have worn them as underwear and lounge wear.

As loungewear they are amazing. The tightness of them makes you feel warm during a cold night. When I am by myself wearing one of my singlets I feel sexy and comfy. The feeling of the tight spandex is not only sexy but makes me feel thinner. I am not vain, but I love looking at myself in my singlet.

When someone is around, wearing a singlet can lead to an amazing and fun night. “Wrestling” with someone while wearing a singlet is a feeling like nothing else. If you are a straight guy, wear one for your lady. I have talked to the girlfriends and wives of many of my straight friends and they would love to see their guy in one. Singlets are not just for the gay male.

As for underwear, singlets miss the mark. Even though it feels amazing under your clothes and helps slim you down, when its time to pee it’s a chore just to fish yourself out of it. As for trying to do your other business, forget about it.

To sum up, give singlets a try. They are amazing for lounging and fun for some light fetish wear. They come in a huge range of colors, cuts and types of material. My personal favorite brand is N2N. You can see their entire line on their website.

sagara_2_432Underwear is not always about what’s newest and high tech, sometimes is going back to our roots. The Fundoshi was the traditional underwear in Japan, up until World War II. This is the information on the Wikipedia page. So it dates back quite a few years.

I used to have one many years ago. It wasn’t that hard to put on and was quite comfortable. I can’t remember why I got rid of it but remember going through my underwear drawer. I wished I had saved it but sometimes you make decisions you regret later. This is one underwear decision I def regret.

Now Planet Undies has a brand new line of Fundoshi from Sagara Lionclothes. You maybe asking how do you put them on after looking at the picture. Well, it’s not like sliding on a thong or brief, but it’s not that difficult. Once you get it on properly it’s not bad.

Here is what Planet Undies has to say: Definition: Sagara Loinclothes, return to the values of simplicity and natural origins. Focused on ancient and traditional underwear, Sagara offers a rare, sometimes unpublished, repeating the underwear of the past and by offering a version revisited, modernized, combining the traditional aspects and the strengths of the materials of today. Sagara is aimed at those who are looking for underwear like no other, for the pleasure of discovery and the universe of relaxation, hammam and sauna.

img_7318Last 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/

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:

n2n-bodywear-california-dreamingCalifornia 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.

n2n-bodywear-cotton-classicsClassic 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.

n2n-bodywear-signature-collectionSignature 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:

n2n-bodywear-lagunaLaguna – 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.

n2n-bodywear-prime-bold-sportPrime 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
n2n-bodywear-daredevil
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.

nasty-pig-short-shortsThere 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

Find these and more at Jockstrap Central.

unb-swim-brief-challengeAre 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.

 

 

MalePower Heather RibMalePower 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!
