OMG how much do I love Andy? I can’t count the ways, he’s just one of the most amazing people I ever met. I am honored to call him my friend. He’s part of my growing underwear empire and he got the Candyman Unicorn Crop top because, why not? It’s a freaking unicorn. I think the set would be better with a thong rather than a trunk but that’s my opinion. I think he looks amazing in it and you can get your own Unicon Crop top at the UNB Store. BTW it comes in black as well.
It’s Baskit $12 Tuesday. This week’s amazing pair that is on sale today only is the Wild Stripes briefs.
We bet you’ve got a bit of a wild side.Almost everyone does.
So, strip down and show off your wild side in our WildStripes collection.
We set a fun multi-colored stripe pattern on unbleached premium cotton and spun in a little elastane to give it some stretch for superior fit and feel.
The brief, low-rise trunk and boxer brief are all trimmed in a cool blue hem and set below our signature logo waistband. Grab the matching tank top for lounging around in style too.
Get wild in WildStripes
Get the Wild stripes brief before midnight to get the sale.
I love a great bikini, one company that has a more classic bikini out right now is Adam Smith Underwear. I know we have a lot of thong guys but you guys. need to try bikinis as well!
We have a quick hit from the UNB Reader Survey. This time it’s about Gymwear. The chart above we have been asking for a few years on the survey. We are almost at 50% of guys who don’t wear shorts over your runners/tights. This has come a long way since we first asked this question. I think we had something like 30% who didn’t. Next year I hope we are over the 50% mark.
We are always curious as to what you guys spend on gear. I know gym wear costs more than undies. well as a general rule. Some of it can be downright expensive. That is over $100 apiece for pants, and sweats. Most of you spend a reasonable amount on gym gear.
We cut a lot of this out of the survey so there isn’t much in the gym wear. I hope to expand this section next year and cut some more out of the other parts of the survey.
Have you guys checked out Mertailor Men lately? The brand has expanded from swimwear to some amazing underwear. The collection is always fun and has incredible prints! Make sure you check them out.
If you love undies we have a giveaway for you. You can win a $50 gift card to the UNB Store and Carl Wesley. How is this so? Enter by joining our email lists. It takes just a second to do. If you aren’t on either, you can enter to win both.

Tell our readers about you:
My name is Stephen, 35 years old, married + 2 kids, living in the Czech Republic. I would describe myself as straight and bicurious (although I never had a romantic or sexual relationship with a man (yet), I found hairy men very attractive and sexy). I am 100% sure people would not think I am an undies fan at all. I guess it is because of our old-fashioned Czech society.
When did you first discover underwear?
Well, to be honest, I don’t know how to answer this question. It was never my interest at all. As a relatively young man, you kinda know that even men wear thongs (bodybuilders, dancers), and I have never paid any attention to that at all. You know that both of these are usually handsome muscular guys, so the thongs look naturally great on them, but never ever think about it more, and 100% times, my answer would be, “those must be so uncomfortable.”
What was the first pair of good underwear you bought? What made you buy that pair?
What made me buy my first pair of underwear? That is a kinda funny story… On my wedding day, after the ceremony, our friends prepared those silly wedding games. One of those games was chores notes hidden in balloons, where you pop the balloon read the chore out loud, and either do it right away in front of everyone (if possible) or do it during your marriage. And on my turn, I popped a balloon with a funny chore (apparently intended for my wife) “sweep the floors in your house wearing only thongs.” Everybody laughed, and we moved on. After few years, you kinda forgot about that, but at the beginning of 2021, we had a minor crisis as our sex life was just so dull and almost non-existent (which for me as a guy is just brutal, and even that you know that your wife is super tired because of the kids, intimacy, and sex is so important to you and the relationship so I could not move on). So I tried all different things to spiced it up, and at that moment, I remembered that silly chore from our wedding game. So I went online and looked for man thongs. After few hours, I found a pair of lowrise, skimpy bright red thongs from some company JQK. After our kids were asleep, I put them on, took a broom, and started cleaning the floors. And at that moment, I was so ashamed of myself for being so judgemental and blind as I found them so comfortable and sexy.
How did this first pair influence your journey into the world of men’s underwear?
So as mentioned above, my first pair was JQK lowrise thongs. Pure cotton and I kinda liked them, so I bought a few more pairs of the same style with different colors. But after a very short period of time, I found them to be very uncomfortable to wear for a whole day. I tried to break them in (stupid idea) by sleeping in them and stretching the butt string, but nothing helped. I come to a conclusion that this is not the right size for me even based on the charts it should be alright. But I was not willing to give up. So I tried other different non-branded thongs until I decided that it was all waste of money one day. But I still wear thongs.
What are your current favorite styles? What style do you wear most?
My absolute favorite style is thongs; I wear them exclusively every day. Also, I love low-cut swim briefs.
What are some of your favorite pairs in your underwear drawer?
As a relatively new to the undies world, I am still learning, but I am very strict about the style, cut, colors, and materials, so once I find the brand and style that fits me, game on. My absolute and so far only favorite brand is CockSox; I love the feel, the simple colors, cut, the pouch, the support. It is just heavenly. So I owned many pairs of the same style of thongs from CockSox, and a few months ago, I made an exception and bought a g-string Slingshot by CockSox, and honestly, they might be my favorite pair for hot days.
Are you open to friends or partners about your love of underwear? If you have a partner, do they encourage your love of underwear?
Well, my wife supports me; she often jokes about the strings up my crack, etc. which is amazing because I am just comfortable wearing it and walking around in front of her, and even though she might not liked that in the beginning now I think she loves it, as it is more revealing she constantly stares at my cock. She recently helped me pick new colors, and she told me she couldn’t wait to see them on me, so yes. So far, I have only talked about that to one of my friends that wearing thongs, changed my life. But I feel it is still taboo, which is such a shame. I grew up in an era where everyone is wearing boxer briefs, and you stick with that because everybody wears that, and it is expected. And I struggled with that for so many years. I used to have rashes from the underwear; I was constantly scratched and chafed on my thighs. And all of a sudden, everything is gone. I truly regret I did not found out about thongs earlier in my life.
Has wearing great underwear boosted your confidence?
Oh absolutely. I found wearing thongs the most masculine thing ever. My confidence raised so much even though I am a big guy. I was never a skinny or athletic guy. I was always a big guy, not fat, just a big healthy guy with broad shoulders, strong legs, and a belly. It still amazes me how that tiny piece of fabric can give you such a confidence boost, so you feel like a completely new person. Wearing thongs made me like my body; most of the time, I looked at myself as an ugly and fat guy with a beard but now, I somehow embrace how I look; I learn to love my body.

What is the new UNB Closet? It’s a space that you can buy undies from the UNB closet. Over the last 13 years, I have so many pairs that I have (well over 100 pairs) in various sizes. These are undies and gear that I held on to so I would have something for a photo shoot if it arose or gear I was hoping to fit in eventually. I decided most of this gear has to go! I figured it would be great to give have you guys buy it and give it a loving home! These may be pairs you have missed back in the day but not get a second chance at getting. Also, the money generated will go towards funding UNB. So it’s a Win-Win.
So what’s in the Closet?
New with Tags – There is so much new with tags. NEVER been worn or even tried on. It’s BRAND NEW condition.
Gently used – I am debating this but I have several pairs we have used in a photoshoot and have been shot but not worn since the shoots. They have been washed and are clean. Also, I may open it up to some of our podcast guys to sell their gear without taking a massive cut like other services out there.
Vintage gear – Vintage gear is gear that is still in high demand in the secondary market. Brands such as Rufskin, N2N Bodywear, UnderGear, and more. They will be priced higher than normal pairs.
How are you doing the Closet?
The closet is powered by the UNB Store, but we are only offering it on UNB site and not the UNB Store. This means UNB is the only place you can get these pairs. Some pairs will come on the site and may go down in price until sold! SHHH. This means is you don’t buy then, you can miss the pair.
Sales on the site are “as is” and there are no refunds and exchanges on the pairs. All sales are final. Currently, we have some great deals in the store and more will be uploaded weekly. If you have any quesitons let me know. Shop the UNB Closet.

Today is Labor Day the day we are to lay in the sun in our swim briefs or less and relax. I hope you guys are doing that. Today I am home working on some art, and relaxing. This is from our 2017 swim guide featuring a super amazing print from Cocksox. Sadly it’s gone from their catalog but they have plenty of other amazing prints.
Let’s face it 2020 sucked. It was probabaly one of the worst years on record. If you were one of the lucky ones who had no real economic hit to your wallet, consider yourself lucky. I know so many who had issues with money, Covid (pre vax days), and life in general. As 2020 went on my anxeity was an 11 on a scale of one to 10. I needed something other than happy pills to calm me down and help me releax.
In January, I remembed I used to draw all the time when I was younger and into my 20’s. After seen Danny’s art, I wondered if i could do something of my own? I dove into the app Procreate on the iPad, with the Apple Pencil. At first it was not good. But, I was rusty from not dawing for over 20 years. But, as this year has gone on I have improved and really finding my style.
I focus on underwear, swimwaer and spandex. These are the things that bring me joy. I have a few muses out there that you have seen. Alec, ClemsonCub, UndieDude24, MuscleBard, WhatthefScience, and I know I”m missing a few people. They are a diverse group of guys form beefy to musucalr. Plus each of these guys are some of the nicest guys out there.
However, I don’t do just guys. I have drawn buildings (think Vegas), political art (especially after Jan 6), humor (see my Clear mind and Living the Dream on Elm Street). Some of these may or may not see the light of day. Maybe if I do an art show I’ll pull them out and put them up. SHH, but that’s one thing I’d love to do sometime maybe in P-town have an art show of all my work.
Speaking of my work. I have hundreds of pictures I have drawn. You guys have only seen a small fraction of what I have done. Most of the times I don’t like something in the picture and haven’t found a way to fix whats wrong. Occasionally I’ll go back a few months later and revisit a picture and fix it. There are other pics I choose off social media for a challenge. I want to push myself to draw better and I’ll pick a picture with serval guys or a detailed background and draw it.
I would say at any given time I”m working on 20 different pictures at once. It’s funny because I will drawa something look at it and go, “um no.’ then a week later go back and go “what was I looking at this is great.” and finish it. Or more likely it’s “oh yeah that is hot garbage.” Its not the original picture it’s my take on the picture that I’m not happy. It has to be perfect for me to release. This week I have so many good finished pics I want to put out but don’t want to post more than one a day on IG. Other weeks I have nothing I want to share and I’m not motivated.
Some questions I get asked about my art:
Can you draw me? I can draw you one of two ways. The first is hire me for a comission and you get a high-res image for you to keep and the ability to add on a print of your art. The second is submit a pic for consideration. If you submit a pic, there is no telling when I will get to the picture and it will be posted on my social media accounts. It gets put on my draw stack and when I feel inspired I will draw. That woudl be a few days to a few months. If interested in a comission, send me a DM or email.
Can I buy your art? Yes you can, I opened my own store to sell prints, t-shirts and more. If there is a piece of art I have drawn that you want to buy and it’s not on the store, DM me and I can get it put on the store usually in a day or two. Visit my UNB Tim Art Shop.
Where did you develop your style? Probably one of my biggest art influences is Keith Haring. I LOVED him in the 80’s. I have drawn a lot of things in his style, and one year I did my own X-Mas card, which had a pun no one got. UGH. But, I didn’t want to do a take on him exactly. I don’t think I could ever live up to his tallent and skill. He had a one of a kind look, and I wanted to do something that was influenced by him but not a direct copy. I experimented with thick lines and such but have settled into what I am doing now. I love that he is seeing a resurgence in his work, however that means I’ll porbably never own an original due to the price now.
What else do you want to draw other than hot men? I do love drawing a hot man. However, I love drawing architecture and landmarks. The more detailed the better. Also, I want to draw more clothed guys as well. The 2Beefy2Thic boys, I drew their wedding pics and LOVEd how they turned out. So, wedding pics would be fun to add into the mix as well as suited men.
You do underwear/swimwear/spandex, do you ever do erotic pics? I do, it’s not as prevalent as my underwear work. I have drawn nude guys. I don’t have an issue doing nudes of guys. Two of my fav guys I have drawn them nude so many times. (No you cant see those). I would love to do more erotic pics such as leather, spandex, such. The male form is awesome and we shouldn’t be ashamed to see it nude.
What does the future hold for your art? I want to take some classes in life drawing so I can improve. I also want to learn Procreate a lot better. I’m very 2 D in my work and want to add in more shadows and shading to make it more 3 D. I have experimented with that but still not where I want to be. I hope my art keeps evolving and you guys want to see it.
How many of you love a pink thong? I would sare to say a lot of you reading this. N2N Bodywear has done a massive new product launch for Labor Day weekend! This is one I knew you boys would LOVE. “Our newest End Of Summer BASIC THONG gets a makeover! Now even tinier, mimicking the tikini silhouette. Soft, lightweight and sumptuously sexy” Get it before it’s GONE
