The one thing I love about UNB is the ability to try new brands of underwear. Over the last few years I have tried brands I never would have heard of any other way. Many of those have become my favorites.  I was given a pair of MyPakage as a gift. It is not my usual style of underwear, but the pouch intrigued me.

The Boxer Briefs are made with the patented KeyHole Comfort Technology. “The 3-dimensional internal pouch provides both unparalleled support and comfort. By cradling the male package, our KeyHole Comfort Technology™ allows absolute freedom and eliminates the need for any shifting and adjusting.” Which makes a really interesting pouch design. I was kind of skeptical but as they say looks can be deceiving.

I received a large and to me it seemed to be a little big. I am just about to be back in a 36 in waist. The large fits 34-36 inch waists, which seemed to to be almost a little too big fit . The material is a 93% Modal and 7% Spandex, making it really soft. The fabric composition was one of the favorite things. The KeyHole Comfort is another great great feature. The pouch that is created is an ergonomically designed one. It really gave good support and held up through the day.

My biggest complaint with boxer briefs is they ride up in the legs. This pair did ride up but it wasn’t too bad. If they had a little more elastic in the waistband legs, this problem could be solved. No other major complaints for this pair. I wore these at an active day at work. They held up nicely.

Pros:

  • Super Soft Materials
  • Great patented KeyHole Comfort Technology pouch

Cons:

  • Legs bunched and rode up

Ratings:

  • Fit – 3.5
  • Materials – 5
  • Construction – 5
  • Look – 4.5
  • Daily Wear – 3.5
  • Overall – 4.3

 

You can find these at the MyPakage website. They also have a list of retailers as well as an online store.

It’s time for Underwear of the Week! This week is Jockstrap Week! The holidays are in full swing and we wanted something a lot of fun to round out the year. I think we found it with the Diesel Fresh & Bright Striped Jocky Jockstrap. It’s got a colorful waistband and a striped pouch. It’s definitely not your typical jock!

Reasons this is our underwear of the week:

  • It’s not the typical jock. It can be worn every day under jeans or dress pants
  • Colorful and fun – The jock is just a lot of fun. We all love undies just for that reason. A classic jock has its place but so does a colorful striped one!
  • Has 1 1/2 inch waist band. We know not everyone wants a 3 inch waistband. Again this can be worn under anything and now show like a traditional jock would.
  • Made out of a 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane blend.
  • Other colors are: Grey & Blue (shown), Turquoise, Black & Grey and Pink

You can find this pair at International Jock for $25. The picture used is from International Jock

Have you bought everything but that one perfect pair for your significant other? Well don’t fret you may still have time to get that pair or pairs. However, this will cost you if you have to have it by Monday. Here are some tips:

  • Make sure you are ordering in your company or origin (i.e. if in the US order from a US Company)
  • Choose Next Day mail (FedEx or UPS) but not US Postal Service. The US Postal Service doesn’t guarantee delivery. Also certain areas will not have mail service on Christmas Eve.
  • Next Day mail will run your $20 or more depending on what you order so it’s not cheap. It can sometimes be the same amount as the underwear.
  • If you don’t have to have it right away choose priority mail. It will get there after the holidays

Now there is another option to get underwear and that’s brave the mall. If it’s a main stream brand (2(x)ist, C-IN2, Calvin Klein or Diesel). you can get them at most Department Stores. The downside is you have to actually go to the mall!

If you have totally missed the chance to get undies, send a gift card to the guys favorite underwear store. Online stores like UnderGear, Freshpair.com, International Jock, Andrew Christian and more offer them!

Just know shopping this late you may not get your order so be prepared!
