The video above is from an Australian company called teamm8. They have been known for their, lack of a better word, provocative ads. They are sexy but not cheesy. This ad is very cutting edge for underwear ads. This ad got me thinking how amazing it is to see how different countries advertise men’s underwear.
Australia and Europe go a bit more sexy and push the envelope. The prime example of that is AussieBum. They have done awesome 
work with video. Many of them you have seen here on UNB. They really aren’t afraid of playing on the sex appeal of underwear. Which when you think about it, we all want to feel sexy in undies, whether we are at the office, hanging at home or running errands.
AussieBum pushed the limits with its famous bus shelter ad. It’s a Life saver in the surf with his suit around his neck. Which means he’s naked and you see his bare butt in the ad. It got a lot of talk last year when it came out, and really got them noticed on the world scene.
Let’s now shift to America. I think for the most part we are still very scared of advertising underwear to the general public. For the general public, until just recently, they never showed the underwear on a person. They either held it up or showed it on a manniquine. Even now the underwear ads focus on people rather then the underwear. The only place where this is not true is in marketing to the gay market.
If you look at many of the gay publications, and I”m not talking porn, you will see many ads that show the undies and are pretty awesome! I’m talking about Instinct, Out and other magazines like that. Brands that I have seen have been 2xist, Baskit, and a few more. But still its not something that is marketed to the public.
The one company in the States that is pushing the boundaries is Calvin Klein. They started back in the 80’s with advertising that shows the underwear on models. The model was Tom Hintnaus and it caused quite a stir when it was released. This was the first time men’s underwear ads were sexy This ad even made entertainment and news shows. Its funny to think now that an underwear ad would cause such a stir, which by today’s standards is pretty tame. Then they went on and got celebrities and turned a host of unknown models into starts. Some of their models included Marky Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Sabato Jr., and more.
Even today CK is doing some of most edgy main stream advertising in the US. They have done billboards in Times Square in NYC. The picture is one I took back in 2006 in NYC, and being from Atlanta, we would never see pictures such as that here. Outside of LA, Chicago and NYC the rest of the country remains pretty puritanical. If you look at the current videos for the CK X line, they are still pushing the boundaries for underwear in the US. They have done an online video campaign that was really well done.
Underwear advertising in the States still has a long way to come from the rest of the world. I think we are moving in the right direction, but still have a way to go. I have a few questions for you guys, and feel free to answer here or on the facebook page:
- Who is doing the best underwear advertising worldwide?
- Who is pushing the boundaries of advertising?
- Has anyone gone too far?
- Who do you think could do a better job of advertising?
I look forward to hearing some answers.
Those crazy guys at Joe Snyder are at it again – they’ve combined a slinky jock with a spider web of strings both front and back that’s completely unique and ultra-sexy.
From the front, a narrow nylon/spandex pouch of either black or white in solid or mesh is caught in a web of elastic strings. From the back, jockstrap strings travel around each check while another splits them down the center. To finish it all off, horizontal strings connect them all together for a stunning spider web effect.
This jockstrap has a narrow pouch and although the fabric will stretch a bit, it’s perfect for those guys who hate to swim in their pouches.”

I guess my article about 80% of people not changing the style of underwear the older they get does not pertain to me. We continue with more Andrew Christian. I swear I didn’t plan it this way, but my “let’s try new undies” campaign continues.
I admit that I am not a boxer brief fan. I know we have a large number of readers who enjoy them every day. If I had a choice, I’d choose a brief or trunk over a boxer brief. The good thing about working on this site is that I get to try things I normally wouldn’t buy. The Almost Naked Sports Boxer was very cute. They reminded me more of shorts than underwear.
I tried them on and I really loved the Almost Naked line. The pouch is ergonomically designed. It’s not one that is designed for sports but more for every day wear. It fits me really well and I enjoy them.
The pair has a longer leg than I like. They were a few inches long when I’m used to trunks that are one to two inches long in the leg. My main concern was that the legs would ride up. I have had this happen before and nothing drives me crazier. I have worn thongs and would rather have an annoying strap in the back than boxer briefs that ride up my legs.
After a day of wearing them, I was very happy they didn’t ride up. The piping on the leg is a great feature of the pair. They are also perfect for lounging around the house on a Saturday or Sunday, relaxing while watching HGTV. Yes, I know I’m showing my age!
The sizing was true as well. I didn’t have any issues. Again, I think Andrew Christian give much attention to sizing and is pretty much spot on. I believe you can confidently buy these in your normal size.

Jockstrap Central has just released an extended high resolution gallery of their model Thomas. He came to them through one of their classified ads and although he had a great face they couldn’t tell what his body was like through his baggy clothing. Well, when his drawers dropped, so did their jaws! Not only did he have a tight lean body, but an incredible pair of thighs that were 100% pure muscle. Turns out when Thomas isn’t modeling he’s working those muscles by riding his BMX bike every chance he gets.
You’ve may have seen Thomas showing up here and there on the pages of Jockstrap Central over the past few months and if you have then you know that this guy is not shy. He’s not only modeling a lot of mesh stuff, but he’s also fully exposed while modeling the very hot Joe Snyder Man-up Bulge Booster. Just keep in mind that some of this photoset is not safe for work.
Thomas’ extended photoset consists of many of the product shots from their website (except much larger and with minimal branding) plus all new extra photographs from Thomas’ latest photoshoot. Be sure to head over to Jockstrap Central and check out this hot sexy young man and while you’re over there use the discount code “fall2010” (without the quotes) on your shopping cart for 15% off your entire order but act quickly as it’s only valid until Thursday, September 30th.

We are back with a boatload of Andrew Christian reviews. Every time you turn around, they are coming out with new and awesome undies. We received some of the new Flex Soft line in white. This is a new line featuring the Horseshoe Shaped cup.
The following is an excerpt from Andrew Christian, describing this line:
This soft and flexible sports underwear features our proprietary Support Technology consisting of a hidden “comfy cup”. This horseshoe shaped inner cup is lined by soft elastic that gently aids in the lifting and support. FlexSoft is made from a super soft modal fabric, which is perfect for sports and working out as it is up to 50% more absorbent than cotton. Modal also resists shrinking and fading. The underwear also features the custom Andrew Christian “Anti-Muffin Top” elastic to slim the appearance of love handles. This body has sporty stripes along the front. It also features a tri-color waistband with contrast stitching along bottom of leg.
I will admit that I’m not a fan of the straps and concoctions that some underwear has for enhancement. But again, this is my out-of-the-box underwear review. The pouch really is awesome. It reminded me of the Almost Naked construction with a bit more support. I think Andrew Christian has done a great job creating underwear to truly fit a man well.
I wore these to an amusement park. It was a hot and humid night in Atlanta. When the rest of the country is having fall, we are stuck in summer. You know it could have been a disaster, but in the humidity and heat, I never felt icky in this underwear. It breathed and kept supporting all night long. I think that these will be a favorite Andrew Christian article of clothing. I love a great pouch and these have it. It’s not too restricting but just felt perfect!
The sizing is pretty much spot on. I don’t think you will have an issue of them running small. I have had very few issues with sizing with any AC choice. They are one of the best in sizing.

This review is majorly overdue. I received these at the end of July and then I attended Magic/Curve. Shortly after, I battled with a short illness that put me over a month behind with my reviews. That being said, I want to apologize to Boqari for getting this up so late.
Here is what Boqari says about their underwear:
“Our Mission is to design the sexiest, most comfortable men’s underwear in the world.’ says designer JJ Boqari. “These designs are sexy, modern, sleek…like nothing you’ve seen before. And they look equally sexy on men and women. In fact, most of our designs are gender fluid. We think everybody is sexy.”
I found that the underwear comes in two sizes…S/M (28-33) and L/X (34-40)…with me being on the L/XL side. I pulled them out of the package, thinking that these would not fit me. To my surprise, they did fit. They didn’t ride down (you know when a size is too small and they won’t stay up), bind, or anything to make them uncomfortable.
The Jamaica Mesh is the pair I received. I wasn’t sure about the back being a series of holes and was concerned about how that would work during the day. I decided to wear them on a day I wouldn’t be doing much. If needed, I would be in a position to take them off. The mesh really didn’t bother me, in fact, due to the no-seams material. I will admit that I judged a book by its cover when I took them out of the package. I knew right away I wasn’t going to like them because they wouldn’t fit me and the mesh would drive me nuts.
Another judgment I had was the seamless material. I won’t mention another brand name, but they had a seamless pair that lost its shape. They were simply not well made. I was hoping these wouldn’t do that and they held up awesomely.
| Fit | 4.75 |
| Materials | 5 |
| Construction | 5 |
| Look | 4.5 |
| Daily Wear | 4.5 |
| Overall | 4.7 |
I say you have to sometimes try undies outside the box. I really liked these even when I didn’t think I would. They are super fun and sexy. You can check them out at the Boqari website. These were furnished for review.
