Start the New Year with a Bang! The latest in GO SOFWEAR’s body shapers/enhancement products for men. The Slimming Tank offers support for those problem areas around the abdomen and love handles, giving you a slimmer silhouette under your clothes. The unique feature of the slimming tank is that it goes on just like a tank, NO zippers buttons, Velcro, etc. The upper portion is made of 90% cotton 10% lycra and the lower of  a unique Power mesh made of  80% nylon 10% lycra. It is this unique fabric combination that gently lifts and molds those problem areas giving an individual a sculpted waistline.

The Slimming Tank went live on Go Softwear’s website Thursday and the company is getting a great response in sales in its recent launch. The Slimming Tank is available in white and in sizes S – XXL. The perfect gift or item to start the New Year.

This new C-IN2 collection reminds me of that pair of underwear that you have had and just fits so well you don’t want to get rid of it. You will wear it till it’s worn out, faded and the only way you will get rid of them is if they are literally falling apart.

C-IN2 released a new line called Hand Me Down. The collection is a vintage athletic style. It comes in four styles; a Brief, No Show Army Trunk, Lo No Show Brief and a Running Boxer.  They currently have 3 colors as well, blue, green and orange.

I am a fan of C-IN2 and think they do some great undies. Some of my favorites from them are the Bamboo Collection. The washed out colors is something I haven’t seen much in the world of men’s underwear. I think it’s a great new concept.

The one thing I am really loving in underwear right now is the creativity that is happening. The whole Hand Me Down is something I think very few companies have thought of, and C-IN2 isn’t one company that stands still. They have created and continue to create some of the best men’s underwear around. I am not one for plain simple undies. Granted they have their place, but its great to have options in what you wear.

I hope we get to see more creative undies from C-IN2 soon. I hope we will get to review these for you soon. I will keep you posted when we get them and when the reviews will be up!

What do you think about this collection? Let us know if you think C-IN2 has a hit or a miss! Post a comment and we’ll talk more in the comments!

Andrew Christian is not one underwear designer that sits back and just rests on his current line. At least once a month he comes out with a new product. The newest is the League Brief. The Show-it line has proved to be one of the most popular he’s ever created, and he is builiding on new styles that incorporate the Show-it technology.

If you don’t know what Show-it technology is, well its the enhancing underwear that show’s off what you have in the front! So it takes what you have in your pouch and pushes it out and makes it seem larger. For an exact way this works you can see the press release below.

I really like these briefs and think they are a little different, from what he’s done before. They remind me of sports uniforms, with the stripes and colored pouch. In fact for some reason they seem more like soccer. I don’t know why, but that’s just what I’m seeing.

The briefs are on sale now for $22.04. You just have to use code 24OFF9158

Below is the official press release for the new line!

Show your spirit with the League Brief. Made from super soft cotton and featuring our anti-muffin top elastic, these briefs come in three different color combinations: White/Royal/Turquoise, White/Yellow/Green and Navy/Turquoise/ Orange.

Each brief features a tri-color stripe on both the right and left sides. Each brief contains contrasting leg openings and stitching. Show-It 2.0 Technology features the comfy cup that gently lifts and supports a man’s best assets. The horseshoe shaped inner cup is lined by soft elastic that gently aids in the lifting and adds up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to a man’s frontal measurement and provides the biggest natural enhancement of any underwear.

Features:

  • 90% Cotton, 10% Spandex
  • Regular Fit
  • Machine Wash Warm
  • Tumble Dry Low
  • Made in the Andrew Christian Designer Studio in Los Angeles, USA

Piss & Vinegar is now shipping. Do you know about them? If not, they are a new brand founded by Jason Suthernland. Jason is one of the forces that launched Ginch Gonch back in 2003. He has since left Ginch Gonch and started his own line. Piss & Vinegar is one that he is launching now. There two other lines that are in the works. They are Dick & Jane and Expose.

I got to talk with Jason a few months ago and he’s trying to develop a line that is sexy for everyone. He’s not just focusing on a certain market. He wants to make underwear that straight guys and gay guys would both wear. The world of men’s underwear is changing and no longer is it just gay guys wanting sexy great fitting underwear.

I went to the Piss & Vinegar site and saw that they are now shipping. The styles I see that they have right now are the; I Love Jesus, I love Buddha, I Love Boys and I love Cartoons. They are all fun and done with a sense of humor. I have seen other styles on the site, such as solid briefs, jocks and long johns, but didn’t see them in the store. So, we can only assume that they will be shipping early next year.

I am working on getting us some pairs to review. I am really looking forward to trying these out and seeing how they fit. I will let you know on twitter/facebook when we get them in! Make sure you go check out their site!

Winter is hitting much of the U.S. right now, and we are trying to keep warm. But, what would you say to staying warm in style? Our choices right now are the  plain long johns, why not get something fun and colorful.

Ginch Gonch
carries over their style to the world of Long Johns. With names such as Argyle, Wiener Eaters, Jolly Cocks, Multiple stars and Fire trucks. These are all from the Reworks collection.

Argyle - Tiger's WoodRWRKS_MEN_WIENER_PINKP_LONGJ Jolly Cocks - Chockin' Chicken

Multiple Star - Star Stud Fire Trucks - Fire Crotch

The Argyle collection is one that is the most conservative. They are come in three styles. The one we are showing here is the Tiger’s Wood. The line also comes in two lighter Argyles. The Geek Chic is a has brighter colors and some red mixed in, while the Diamond Stud is pastel in colors.

The one I know probably have your attention most is the Wiener Eater collection. These have little hot dogs all over them, hence the name. And you though it was something else i bet. It comes in three styles as well, Blue Buns, Night Wiener and Pink Piggy. They all have the same hot dog print, but the Blue Buns has a blue background, Night Wiener has a black background and Pink Piggy, you guessed it, pink (see the picture).

The Jolly cocks set  has chickens all over them. They are similar to the Jolly Cocks pattern. Just imagine you can say would you like to see my “Jolly Cocks” The one we have profiled is the Chokin’ Chicken. It the Chicken print with a grey back ground. The other too are the Cockadoodle Blue and Yolkie Dolkie. I love these names.

The Multiple Stars is just that, multiple stars, I bet you didn’t guess that! All three pairs are a star pattern on a solid back ground. The Star Stud is a pair with Red/Yellow stars on a white background. You can really shine in these! The other two pairs are Pink Star and Rising Star. Yes I’m putting the names in because I like them.

Lastly in the Long Johns line is the Fire Trucks. It can bring back memories of when you were with a kid and had fire truck undies or pajamas. The pair I like best is “Fire Crotch,” yes I said it. These names crack me up! They have little fire trucks, ambulances, fire hydrants and fire hats on them. The other two in the line are Flirt Squirt and Back Draft.

As you can tell Ginch Gonch is a really creative company, especially in their names! They have some of the best names around. If you are tired of plain boring long john’s, then check out the ones from Ginch Gonch and be stylish while being warm! Who said warmth knows no fashion, hasn’t seen these yet!

The reviews continue of Unico. I have to say what is really not to like of Unico. As, I have reviewed underwear by Unico, I have found very few I haven’t liked. Actually, everything I have reviewed I have loved. It goes back to the pouch! There are very few undies with out pouches that I like. The pouch just holds everything the way it should be held.

I put these undies on and they were similar to the Jardin pair. They had a very similar cut, but they were a really bright yellow. It’s awesome to see some really fun colors come back to men’s undies. Although, I have a friend who said “The last thing I want to do is to have to color coordinate my underwear.” I know there are some of you thinking that, but it can be fun to do that from time to time.

These underwear were a bit different then the Jardin pair, they were a spandex/cotton blend. Which I liked, but I found the spandex blend more comfy. These have the same pouch and fit. But I personally love the fit of the spandex best. That doesn’t mean to say I didn’t like these. They still fit pretty awesome. The pouch was the same as in all their undies.

Round 3 of the Unico reviews and one more to go! It has been a blast to try all of these undies. You know each pair fits differently, and I have enjoyed it.  I must say that I’m more of a brief guy then boxer or trunk. But as you  have seen I have really enjoyed the Unico boxers!

Unico’s Mundo Natural line was inspired by the Tropics, the Amazon Jungle, and its wildlife. Luxuriate in seductive textures that will stimulate your senses, exciting prints that captivate your eyes and new fashion details that are sure to have everyone talking.

The new designs incorporate reptilian inspired waistbands and nature inspired prints as well as the always exceptional Unico construction. Indulge yourself in style and comfort. Made out of 93% Cotton, 7% Spandex.

These undies have been great to wear. I wish they would have been in more spandex/nylon material but, the pouch was incredible. They have a unique fit that really holds everything in place. The briefs also gave full coverage and never rode up or bunched. Which to me is a good thing in a brief

IS_doubletake_brf_zombie

AussieBum, who is known for it’s great fitting undies are now stepping out of the box. They are doing some really wild and bright patterns. The new range Double Take is no exception. They are creative but not too juvenile. I think AussieBum has a very creative team working on new concepts. The team comes up with great new additions to the AussieBum Line up.

This range is just fun. I think they would be great for daily wear or maybe a great pair to wear on a date night. I’m sure if your date saw you in these it would raise an eye brow! Check out all the pictures of the range. There will be one of the great AussieBum videos soon, and we will post it for you!

Here is some info from AussieBum about the range:

As nothing is as it seems- the first blue photo is ‘zombie,’ after that ‘bunny’ and the next ‘beehive’ -with these we are going with concepts that aim to incorporate animation and design

This past weekend we had a Speedo Run in Atlanta. You may have seen the pictures over the years from the event they hold in Boston every year. This event was a charity event that was for Chris Kids. Chris Kids is a charity devoted to the well being of children. One of the participants was Paul Everett. We got a chance to interview him and here is that interview:

Paul Everett Speedo Run Atlanta

What made you take part in the Speedo run?

I’m always looking for opportunities to do fun fitness events that help others in the process. I was glad to hear that the Atlanta Santa Speedo Run benefited a local charity called CHRIS Kids. It is tough to stay in shape during the holidays and what better way than to know that you will be in a speedo in public!

This was the first time, I believe, in Atlanta, how many people were in the run?

Yes, this was the first time in Atlanta. Boston has hosted the event for the last 10 years. I believe there were over 150 runners that raised over $41,000. I was glad to see that it was a diverse group as well.

Did you get strange looks from the people as your ran or more words of encouragement?

The streets were lined with people cheering, taking pictures, and laughing. Cars were honking their horns and there were definitely some looks of shock. Everyone had a great attitude and you could tell that it was a pleasant surprise for most. There were some creepy old dudes taking pictures as well, but that is another story.

You dressed up as something different, what did you dress up as?

We were encouraged to dress festive and the outfits were hilarious. I decided to go as the Gingerbread Man as you can see from the picture. I hope people caught on to the theme. I realized later I looked like a holiday Chippendales dancer.

Will you be participating in next years run?

Absolutely. I was able to raise $525.00 this year for CHRIS Kids. It was a bonus that the race helped me stay on track with my fitness routine. Although, I hope to raise more money and look even better next year!

Paul is a personal trainer in the Atlanta area. His site is www.MyTrainerPaul.com

Sean Ashby who is the owner of AussieBum now has his very own blog. The address is http://seanashbey.blogspot.com/. I think its so cool he is blogging. You really are going to get an inside view of what happens in the company. So far he only has a few posts, but the blog looks really promising. I think they are the only ones doing a blog from the perspective of the owner.

This really should come as no surprise. AussieBum has been very tech savy. They have used and mastered the short video format. We all have seen the incredible videos they have done. They have been on Twitter, Facebook and Flickr! So they are always one to embrace new technology to gain exposure.

Add this to one of your favorites and check back a few times a week. I am looking forward to hearing more from Sean
