I was really excited to try this pair out. The previous Trophy Boy pair I bought from Andrew Christian has been one of my favorites so this one I hoped would live up to the expectations I had for it. The one thing that struck me was the Trophy Boy branded waistband. Every other pair has and Andrew Christian logoed band. This one I think they did because if you see it over the top of your jeans you will know exactly what it means.
One reason I really like this range is because it gives extra room. Granted not all guys are a like, but those of us who need it, its always appreciated. Andrew Christian has done great things for pouches with men. It started with the Almost Naked line and now is part of the Trophy Boy line!
I wore these running errands again. From the time I got up till 6 PM I was on the go. I choose this pair for this day because I knew from the previous pair it would hold up well. And this pair really didn’t disappoint. They gave me great support through out the day running around and being on the go. The worst things that can happen to me are to loose support or have the undies bunch up. I loved the waistband but don’t think any one who saw it knew what I was wearing. It kind of makes you want to show it off to see who notices and knows what it is.
Andrew Christian is good with sizing. He doesn’t go up too big in the XL but if you look at the size chart you should be able to find the right size. I haven’t heard to much negative about their sizing except that many wished the upper sizes went to 40 rather then 36. But I have a 38 waist and the XL fit me very well.
The only complaint and it seems to be a common one with this is the legs are a little tight when you put them on. Not sure why that is but if you have big thighs you may not like these. I haven’t had this problem with previous lines but all the new undies from AC seem to have this. Things I did like were the pouch, which fit great. It gives you a very ergonomic support. It feels like the underwear was made just for you. I Love the new branded waistband, it makes you feel a little cheeky if someone saw it.
Pros:
- Ergonomic designed pouch, feels made for me
- New Trophy Boy branded waistband
- Great materials
Cons:
- Tight in the legs, so guys with bigger thighs maybe too tight
- XL just goes up to 36 waist.

We posted our first review yesterday with Alex’s Video review and we have quite a few more Andrew Christian pairs to review! The pair I got to review is the Limited Edition Almost Naked Holiday Air Jock. Wearing jock briefs always makes me feel a bit naughty. I’m not sure why, after so many years wearing underwear and every style imaginable you don’t think I would, but I do!
I was really excited to try this because it’s a very light pair and has one of my most favorite pouches. The Almost Naked line ahs been one of the favorite lines I have since it first came out. It’s a pair that fits and gives amazing support. This pouch never lets me down!
What did the review consist of? Well it was a Monday and I wanted a pair that would make the day bright. This did just that, the read breathable material and the gold waistband made me very happy. I wore it through a busy day at work and then followed by errands for the afternoon. It held up great. I was super happy. When I slide these on the legs was a little tight. They didn’t bind or stay stiff.
I know there are guys who don’t want a jock brief because they don’t like the cut out in the back. This pair is I really didn’t notice the cut out that much. It really felt like a brief. The material was super light and felt great. So the combination of the two made this a great pair for me.
The sizing with Andrew Christian is pretty much as said on the size charts. The only complaint I have is the pairs are a little tight to put on in the legs, but that doesn’t distract from the pair. I wore an XL and have a closer to 38 waist right now, gained a few back, but they fit great.
Pros:
- Limited Edition Pair
- Great materials
- Felt like a brief
- Almost Naked pouch
Cons:
- Legs were a little tight
- Not for all guys unless you like a jock brief

2(X)ist has a new line out this week and it’s called Turbo! You may be asking why is it called Turbo? Well, I would say it’s because of the moisture wicking fabric. Lately there has been more of a trend to making underwear for sports and working out. More companies pay attention to how a guy uses their undies and what they are doing. You don’t want to go to the gym/run/be active in cotton underwear.
The fabric they are using is 89% Nylon/11% spandex blend. So it will move with you and take moisture away from your body. The second thing you will notice is the colors. They came out with some amazingly bright colors. They include blue, black, red, yellow and white. Each as a contrasting color on the site.
Thats not all they have a new branded waistband with the 2(X)its logo on the left hip. It matches the color of the underwear. The styles available are the Jock, No-Show Trunk, No-Show Brief and a tank. They range from $26-34 at the 2(X)ist Website
Today’s Brief Distraction features the Good Boy Gone Bad Rolf Jock Brief. We had this in our Holiday shoot! Check them out for some great undies
Make sure you go vote in our UNB Reader Awards! Two of the pairs up are the the 2(X)ist Speed Trunk and Timoteo Double Cross Jock Brief. Vote at our UNB Reader Awards Page!
Male Basics has a new collection called Spot. As you can see above its a mix of bright and classic colors. Some of the previous collections they have had ranged from the classic briefs to really wild lace underwear. This one is more on the classic side but still has a sexy spin..
One thing that strikes me is the Waistband. It comes in black and red branded waistbands. I love how the red pops with the white/black jock! The next thing that you may notice is it’s made out of sports mesh. So the pouch in the jock, and the side side of the brief and trunk is the sports mesh material.
From Male Basics :
In this collection, we are highlighting the male anatomy by using contrast colors and shaping the pouch and the rear in a different way.
The body of the underwear was built using Yael (micro fiber), a premium quality fabric with a close-to-wearing-nothing feeling. This collection is bringing the spotlight back to the body parts that matter!
The Jockstrap is made out of Yael, giving it an extra sensual component but keeping it very masculine and sporty. It has contrast straps on the rear for a more sophisticated effect.
I really like this collection. Sports mesh is currently a big trend in men’s underwear. Male Basics has put its own spin on the collection. They made the line fun and sexy but not over the top. The one thing you should notice is the jock pouch is semi-sheer. The brief and trunk both have a solid pouch.
These have now been released and find them at the Male Basics site! See the pics below of the entire line

One of our favorite models Eric Turner did some pics a while back wearing Todd Sanfield Underwear. We hope you enjoy the pic!
Let’s face it, we all want underwear that is super sexy. That’s part of the reason we really want to buy underwear. If it doesn’t feel sexy then why bother right? The newest range from aussieBum is the Riot line. First thing you notice is the color. The bright blue trim and waistband offset the white sports mesh material.
The next thing you notice is the cut outs. There are two cut outs, the first is over the pouch and the second is in the back (well in the brief), the jock is of course open but has the same front as the brief. Last thing you may notice in the pics is the material. It’s a white sports mesh! Which leads me to wonder if you use this to work out will it become see through? This maybe a sticking point to some and a selling point to others!
aussieBum has never been a stranger to hot undies. They released the new Rugby shorts a while back and now are entering a more sports market. Granted I don’t know if we’ll see these at the gym but they would be great for working out, activities and a great date! The brief is around $25 and the jock is $23 at the aussieBum site.
We got some great new pics from Go Softwear! I’m excited because they will be in Vegas in about two weeks and we’ll report on it all for you! Stay Tuned.
