The new Candyman is out! Candyman is known for their daring style and cuts. The new collection is out as we speak. If you want something wild and fun then Candyman is for you!
One of the great things about Fetish Friday is stretching fantasy into another dimension. With Halloween around the corner, it seemed like a perfect time to discuss the roleplay fetish and how underwear can enhance this experience. Everyone has heard of sexual encounters where partners pretend to be someone else. There is the doctor and patient, cop and robber, and even the contractor and the homeowner. The possibilities are endless when it comes to roles and scenarios that you can play out. Imagine if there was underwear that could take this roleplay to a whole new level.
Candyman Fashion is an underwear brand that takes underwear and mixes them with sexy costumers to bring a new playfulness to the bedroom. Take for instance, the police officer. The costume underwear features a boxer brief with a fun police design on it. The outfit is complete with a hat, tie, and cuffs to add to the fantasy that this hot cop is going to arrest someone. Another fun costume they feature is the fireman. This boxer brief comes with a strategically placed hose that will be sure to be used before the night is over. The great thing about the Candyman brand is that they recognize fantasy and fun and capitalize on it in their design. These pairs can be worn briefly in part under a pair of pants but are better meant for getting back to the house after dinner and slipping into something more comfortable!
Apart from sexy costumes, Candyman also offers a great variety of fun and stylish underwear with bright vibrant colors, shimmer, zippers, and mesh. These are all excellent additions to the fetish family as they allow for eye popping appeal and have the capability of showing off some skin.
Costumes area a great way to let your imagine run wild and let your inhibitions down. They can add a new dynamic in your sexual encounters or let you escape reality for a day as a character. Since it is Halloween, if you are going to any untraditional costume parties and are feeling a little brave, Candyman could be a winner for sexiest costume! Just make sure it is a warm night!
The one thing I LOVE about Candyman is they are always pushing the envelope to make undies fun! They have done this with the new Color Brief with the cut away sides. Granted sometimes the undies are way over the top, this is the same company that brings us some of the fun and sometimes wild costume undies. Past ones have been Cowboy, Lumberjack, Super Hero and Vampire!
The Color brief is a bikini with two cut out sin the side. I’ll give it to them to do a cut out that is pretty fun. Sometimes I have seen cutouts that really were in odd places. This one creates a great silhouette that shows off accents a guys body. Meaning the cutout isn’t too big and is right place.
One thing I”m sorta on the fence with is the purple color. I love it when companies use non-traditional colors in undies. I love the black and florescent green! But, the purple is something I will have to see in person. Because one thing I have learned is you have to see undies in person rather than pictures. So until then reserve judgement but hats off for using a new color! I think more companies need to step outside the color box and try new colors. Gone are the days where we have “masculine” colors, I think the color palette is open, I mean if we can rock pink undies (and I have and love them), then anything or any color is possible !
Check out the front and back pictures and find this at a retailer near you. The line just launched yesterday so you may have to wait a few weeks for it to show up in stores!
A few weeks ago I decided it was time for me to try some different styles, branch out and buy a few things that I wouldn’t ordinarily wear. I found this hot item at a decent price ($19.00 at freshpair.com) and decided to give it a shot. Knowing that I would likely never wear something like this as daily underwear I wanted to just see what it was all about. And much to my surprise I quite like it. Pouch front, suspender straps, thong back. After I got over the feeling that I was having some sort of “Borat” moment I actually started thinking about when and where I could pull something like this off. If nothing else, this will definitely make lounging around the house more interesting.
Would you or have you ever worn underwear like this?
Me reviewing a boxer? Yep, it’s happening. Ok, so it’s not your conventional boxer. Candyman is a fun playful line of underwear. So in keeping with their brand this boxer is mostly mesh. It is basically all black mesh (96% Nylon, 4% Spandex) except for some piping along the legs and waistband. The same fabric is used for the pouch. It is made of stretch cotton. The pair I received was a green camouflage print. It also comes in a blue plaid. To be upfront as much as I loved the comfort of this garment I was not too excited about the all day adjusting I had to do while wearing it.
I think this is more of a boxer brief then boxer since its design mimics a boxer brief. The fabric is nice quality. Sometimes mesh can be itchy. Is this one? Nope. Sometimes mesh can be soft be cheap and tear easily. Is this one? Nope. Sometimes piping can be sewn incorrectly and not have stretch. This pair never felt constricting around the legs. Even big brands can mess up piping. One big brand made a pair with piping that I thought was gonna cut my thigh open. I found the nearest pair of scissors and cut the piping. I walked around for a while with just this on. My boyfriend liked the view of my butt encased in mesh but then I had to pull them up as they were slipping down over my bubble butt. Did I get sent a large by accident? After checking the tag (which I had already cut out- ugh- i hate tags.) i saw i had a medium. I know I have been trimmed an inch or more off my waist at the gym. I have also made my giant butt and thighs even bigger. So why are these falling off?
My boyfriend wears boxers sometimes so I ask him, “Is this how these are supposed to fit?” He told me I was just being too picky. (NEWSFLASH: I am always this picky.) I took them off and he tried them on. He was all-confident that they fit fine until he started walking and they slipped down. Ah ha! I wasn’t being picky. So to make a long story short (too late) the issue for us was the size and the waistband. There isn’t a normal elastic band that would cling to your waist. There is only the piping trim. Mesh material is very forgiving normally because it can adjust and cling to your body. Without the waist being tight enough it just hung, drooped and slipped.
Aside from the waistband the quality of the garment is really great. Mesh can be one of the hardest materials to sew correctly. It snags easily in a machine. And surging mesh seams can show mistakes easily. So this seems to be another case of not having the right size. If you are gonna order this to show off your butt cheeks (mesh covered butt is a hot look) get a size smaller than you would normally.
And this is another reason why this bubble butt reviewer sticks to wearing thongs. Maybe Candyman can make a line of fun undies for the big booty fellow. If they do they should call it Bubble by Candyman. I usually like the playfulness if Candyman’s design so I was sad about the poor fit but my misfortune is your gain. Order a size smaller!

Candyman furnished this pair for review.
Today, I am happily reviewing my first Candyman brand undies; the “Boxer 99004”. I’ve been hoping to review Candyman for a while cause I’ve wanted to know if their quality matches their creativity. I received the sexy fire engine red pair in the mail last week, and definitely had a fun first impression. When I opened the bag at first, I didn’t actually know whether my manly bits were going to actually be visible or not, there was so much mesh netting. Not that I’m against wearing translucent front pouch underwear, but I truly didn’t get it at first. Once completely unfolded though, a pair of quite sassy underwear came into my view. The pair I got to review is a new pair by Candyman, with a front pouch in opaque black, that is set into a fire engine red panel of fabric (you can also get this boxer in a Royal Blue, and a Gunmetal Grey). However, the panel of red ends not soon after as black netting swoops in front of your hips and continues onto the entire back of the underwear, leaving your rear very visible. The boxer is a 93% polyester 7% spandex blend fabric, with a separate pouch cut and a back center seam to contour for the butt. The boxer is a longer cut than you might be used to, I would probably use the term “sport boxer” for the leg length. The black pouch looks to be a fairly standard boxer brief pouch. My worry was about the netting, cause being a seamster myself, I know that some netting just doesn’t have a good amount of stretch to it, so putting the pair on could get awkward. I’ll fill you more in later, but the netting was NOT a bad fabric.
While wearing the pair, I didn’t do too much, but I did run around to do some errands, and felt very comfortable. I wouldn’t wear this to the gym for reasons I’ll talk about later. It is a very nice loungy “bedroom” pair. I could definitely wear this on a date I think was gonna get spicy later…ya know.
I found the sizing on this to be fine. I got a Large size which according to the Candyman size chart is for a 32-34”. I usually buy whatever size a 34” falls under, and I must say, judging by the fact that I’m the higher end of the L range, I could probably wear a medium. Having said that, I am not ready to say Candyman runs large, because I think a lot of the elasticity of this pair is due to the majority of it being made out of a very flexible net. I would say for this pair, definitely you could go a lower size, but I cannot test that fact on all of Candyman until I try other pairs out.
I really like the look of this pair. I mean, I like my butt, people who get to see it do too. I think visually, it’s a really interesting idea, because the front is almost “tame” if I can say that, and then the back is just BAM! My issues are with the wearability of the garment, rather than the aesthetics. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the whole anatomical underwear revolution, but I’ve never been too fond of boxer briefs that have a pouch that doesn’t actually hug the genitals. What I mean is, my favorite boxer briefs are when the fabric on the outside of the pouch is snug enough that your package stays in the pouch, instead of having things run around elsewhere. The pouch on this pair doesn’t really hold my stuff in place. Because of the netting being so flexible instead of having tension, there’s not too much support UNDER the genitals, so it’s fairly open down there letting some things wander down below the pouch. I think an entirely net back is a bold idea, and it’s a very sexy idea to pull off, but my biggest issues is that the sheer area the net covers takes out a lot of the structure that would be there if a more sturdy material were covering the same area. I must say though, this did help me recover from a fear of mesh in underwear. I bought a pair of underwear made all out of mesh from an underwear company I love, and I couldn’t even get it up my thighs. I returned it for a larger size, and couldn’t get that over my butt, it was the LEAST stretchy mesh I’d ever seen, and I think the pair would have only worked on some twinky butt that doesn’t curve as much. Getting this pair did restore my ideas about using mesh in underwear.

Candyman Furnished this pair for review.
The pair I am reviewing today is the Candyman 99002 Silver Boxer and there is no other way for me to describe this boxer than fun. Candyman not only produces great underwear like the 9674 Boxer that I reviewed at the beginning of the year, but they also specialize in “Costume” underwear. The Costume Collection ranges from an orange prison outfit singlet (complete with handcuffs) to a fringed cowboy themed boxer.
While the silver boxer is not categorized as part of the costume collection I think it would fall into it because it isn’t really an everyday underwear but sure is fun looking. This pair is metallic silver with a black net/mesh fabric over the pouch and two rear zippers. The zippers don’t serve much of a practical role, as a matter of fact if you unzip them the back panel will fall off, but they definitely add a unique/fresh look to the pair.
I wore this pair this weekend while running some errands and met my friends for lunch. With a 93% polyester, 7% elastic mix, the fit is snug yet stretchy, however, like most polyester it doesn’t breathe like other materials. Because of the snug stretch, I had no actual issues with the legs riding up while wearing this pair. However, if you happen to be lounging in a chair however and leaning to one side, you will definitely feel the seams created by the hard plastic zippers. As I mentioned earlier, this is not an “everyday” pair of underwear but for more “special occasions.”
Now, it’s time to talk about sizing. As spring has just sprung, I am dealing with a little winter weight and am between a 36-38 right now but find that I can easily also go between a large or extra large depending on the brand. My previous Candyman review was on an XL pair which we very comfortable. The 99002 that I reviewed however was a large pair and while the material does have a nice stretch, it was less forgiving than the previous pair that I reviewed. So if you are like me and you are in between sizes, definitely opt for an XL.
One of the areas that I feel could be improved was the zippers. There is no fabric guard between the zipper and your skin; and though I don’t think you’ll be using the zippers often, it is possible that you could catch you skin or hair easily. Also, and there is the easy solution of simply cutting it out, the tag is placed inconveniently in the seam of the pouch.
I would not recommend this underwear for everyday wear but I do not believe that was the intent of Candyman when they created this pair. If you are looking for a great unique pair of boxers for the club or a seaside patio party, these might just be the pair for you.

This pair was furnished by Candyman.
Believe it or not I have never had a pair of Candyman Underwear. I hear you saying “NO WAY” but I could never fit in them before this year. Candyman is known for making very sexy, fun and erotic underwear. This is not the undies you wear to the gym or maybe even every day. But for a date night they would be amazingly fun to wear. The pair I have to review is the Candyman 9695 Brief. The brief is white with a gold waistband and a kind of lace up back.
I decided to take a chance and wear it to work. How many times have we all bought “date night” underwear and they last about 2-3 hours before its time they come off one way or another. My initial impressions were I may not like this pair. But, I was keeping an open mind. I usually like pairs with a more defined pouch and hoped it wouldn’t bind as the day went on. Also the back is a lace up and open and that gave me other room to worry. As the day wore on the material, 93% Polyester, 7% Spandex, held up pretty well. I wish it breathed more through the day but it really didn’t bother me too bad. After I put them on and my jeans over I forgot I was wearing a more “erotic” pair of undies. Granted that said I wouldn’t wear them to the gym or do anything super active, but for every day wear or lounging they would be fine.
Sizing was pretty good. If you follow their sizing chart you should be fine. Note that the XL isn’t a 38 or 40 but size 36. So this is smaller then American sizes we are used too. So make sure you follow the sizing guide, if you don’t you maybe sorry. The XL fit me pretty well for a 36 waist.
Overall I liked the pair and will definitely wear it again. I loved the gold waistband and thought it set the pair off nicely. There is a big trend in men’s underwear to bring in metallic accents. The lace up back I thought would just drive me insane through out the day really wasn’t noticeable. I will say it surprised me and became one of my favorite features. My biggest complaint is I wish the material were a little more breathable. If you are super active this will not be something you will like.
I will say I’m enjoying trying different undies now that I can fit in them. Candyman will be on my list and this will be the first of many pairs I plan to own from them. I mean it bites when you can’t wear undies you want to try. Candyman just has fun with undies and it shows in their designs.

Candyman furnished this pair for review.
When the review package arrived from Tim, I was a bit excited because my life has recently changed dramatically (and for the better) with the birth of my first child. I haven’t had time to really think about underwear outside of browsing the new Spring offerings from my favorite brands. When I opened the package and out came the Candyman 9692 Brief also referred to as the “Zip Around Brief” (on Freshpair). My first reaction in a word, was “Wow!” The brief is definitely on the more risque side, and since my only other pair from this brand is the mostly basic, Candyman Jockstrap 9656 I wasn’t prepared for something I’d consider out of my comfort zone. The 9692 Brief comes in White and Black and is available anywhere Candyman is sold online.
Since I knew I wouldn’t be able to get a full day’s wear out of these briefs, I decided to wear them from post-evening workout until my bed time on a night in which I’d be running around the house packing for a vacation to Florida. Given the overall construction of the brief (I will delve into specifics shortly) I was surprised how well it stood up over the 4-5 hours I had them on, while running up and down our stairs to pack. While generally this brief is probably better for “a night of fun” I would venture to guess that you could wear it all day, but as I’ll discuss shortly, you probably won’t want to.
As has been the case with Candyman so far, the 9692 Brief fits fairly true to size to perhaps just slightly larger (American Sizing). My pair was an XL (34-36) and they seem to fit my 36 inch waist comfortably. Since Candyman doesn’t have any gaps in their size chart (L=32-34, XL= 34-36) you may want to size down if you’ve got one of the matching waist measurements, e.g. If you’re a 34 inch waist, get a Large.
The brief itself is constructed with 96% Nylon and 4% spandex. The majority of the brief features what Candyman refers to as a “Modern Mesh” which given the materials used, are fairly elastic and move with you. Unlike most mesh briefs that are micromesh, the mesh pattern on these briefs is large, almost emulating a typical lace design. As if the mesh weren’t enough to put this in the “Erotic” category, twin zippers on both the front fly and covering the crack of the wearer’s butt on the rear send this into another dimension in terms of erotic underwear design. Both zippers are made up of a gold (on the black brief) or silver (on the white) leaf like textiles, and are fully functional. The zippers platform also gives the brief its structure, providing a surprisingly roomy pouch for your boys.
On the whole I like the brief for what it is, and I dislike the brief for what it isn’t. I like the attempt I see with this brief from Candyman. The designed with this brief wanted to adequately marry their fairly standard fare of highly erotic pieces with their less standard, but still readily available practical pieces. It is a goal that I think the designer achieved with the 9692 Brief, which is what makes the pair likable for what it is. There really seems to be a “catch” to this success though, and that is even though they found a way to make a sexy and somewhat practical product, the brief has too many elements that make it unwearable as daily wear, and I just simply can’t get over that. While I stated that this brief had a “surprisingly roomy” pouch, that doesn’t mean I was satisfied. Given the design itself, I knew the pouch was going to be cramped and it still is, it was just less cramped than I expected it to be once I got it on.
Personally this is an extremely difficult review for me to write. While I definitely am an adventurous underwear fanatic (no problem wearing skimpy thongs, briefs, etc) this particular pair is hard to really compare to any of the other “risque” underwear for a couple of reasons. The first is that my mind has a hard time getting over underwear with large sturdy zippers as a part of their design because I typically associate designs with those elements as conducive to an erotic BDSM lifestyle with which I know nor feel nothing. The second issue is perhaps more relevant to the review itself-which is the fact that until now, there really isn’t a pair of underwear I own that I can’t wear all day, including all of the more risque styles in my drawer. I want a brief to be wearable and this one isn’t for daily wear purposes at least.
Overall, while I personally wouldn’t buy the Candyman 9692 Brief for myself, that does not mean it isn’t a good or even great pair of underwear.

Candyman furnished this pair for review.
When I received this pair to review, I saw the word “jockstrap” on the packaging and we super eager to try this on. So you can imagine my surprise when I opened it up and found this pair inside. I held it up and looked at it and wondered how it was supposed to go on. This jockstrap has extra straps on both sides. Candyman always comes up with eye catching designs and patterns, and this pair definitely fits the bill. It is available in an array of colors: fuschia, green, orange, yellow, and black.
My day was pretty ordinary. Other than getting up to stretch my legs a couple of times and walk around the office, I pretty much sat at my desk all day. All work and no play, as the saying goes. Which is probably a good thing. This jockstrap is more about fashion than function, and I feel would be more suitable for a spicing up a special night than an intense workout at the gym.
I received it in a medium. Some of the items that Candyman offers can be on the small side, but this actually fit me well. I have a 31” waist, and then waistband sat comfortably on hips.
The striped pattern on the jockstrap is quite fun. Definitely draws the eye to the goods. And the material feels great. A few of the extra straps were pretty loose, which made me wonder how this jockstrap would fit on a guy with a larger or smaller backside. To get the full effect of how hot this jockstrap is, everything needs to be pulled nice and tight.

Canyman furnished this pair for review.
The pair I get to review is the Candyman Gold Brief 9694. Before I tried these on, I enjoyed feeling the soft, shiny, satin-like gold fabric with a nice contrasting black waistband and piping around the legs and pouch. The waistband is about 1.5 inches in width with the Candyman name woven within the band in large lettering. The pouch appeared to be held onto the body of the brief by two snaps which I immediately snapped apart to find that my theory held true. The snaps fit directly below the waistband, but above about an inch and a half of fabric meant to be part of the actual brief body. This is my first pair of Candyman briefs and I enjoyed being able to try them.
I went about my normal and routine day while wearing this par. I drove an hour to work, taught a college class, went shopping to several stores, taught another college class, and drove an hour back home to relax. It was a very busy day filled with lots of movement and activity. The pair fit well, stayed put, and was comfortable during my daily routine. This pair would hold up well during normal, routine activity. I would not recommend them for a day of serious activity or exercise.
I received a size large in this brief. This size should cover a 36-38 pant size. Sizing was true to size, but most websites I have seen recommend sizing up with Candyman. However, I found this pair to be accurate and well-fitting.
I liked the shiny gold fabric (97%Nylon, 3%Elastane) as it was stretchy and conforming to the body. The pouch was adequate and should accommodate any size guy without any major issues. The pull snaps were sturdy and added a nice touch to the pair. I really liked the snap off pouch as this could be an extremely erotic pair of underwear for that special night. I only had one dislike about the pair and that was the way the pair actually fit near the snaps. The fabric bunched up and created an odd, sharp angle directly beside the snap. If an additional snap was placed below the other snap, it would alleviate this problem.
Overall, this was a nice pair of underwear and I felt sexy and sexual while wearing them. Candyman seems to be a company that creates underwear to specifically cater to the fun and exciting side of a man. Also, it seems the designs allow for creativity in a guy and how he can express himself other than with just basic underwear. It is, after all, that we have a sexy part of our personality that we keep from the world and only show to our most intimate of companions.

I was really excited to hear that I was going to be able to review this jockstrap. I had been eyeing it for some time and while Candyman in general, doesn’t suit my style I am a bit of a “Red White & Blue” fan which made this particular jock desirable.
The jockstrap I am reviewing is the 9656 from Candyman and size XL (34″-36″). When it comes to fit, this jock fits plenty large for its size chart waist description. I have a 37″ waist (might have gotten to 38 after the Holidays) and the XL fit me more than comfortably. The jock is made of 93% polyester and 7% spandex.
I decided to wear them all day and for a 2 mile run after work just to test how they held up as athletic wear. Not to my surprise, the unique design-which attracted me to the jock in the first place made for comfortable wear in both the daily and workout settings. The uniqueness in the design of course, is that the support straps that make jockstraps what they are, happen to be the exact same width and material as the waistband of the jock. The added width of the support straps made for very comfortable wear, but because it was the same construction as the waistband, problems with over-elasticity became apparent towards the end of my run.
Like most underwear this jock’s waistband stretches with you throughout the day but doesn’t ever lose its hold. Theoretically this should be the case with the support straps of this jock, since they are identical to the waist band. However, the construction of the jock overall is probably the culprit of the over-stretch during my run (I can’t imagine how stretched they’d get during circuit training-which is my preferred work out method). It’s clear that Candyman was going for all-day comfort and wearability instead of functionality when it comes to construction and design of this jockstrap. That’s OK in theory, but I think I speak for most jock wearers when I say we’d expect a daily-wear jock to function properly at the gym as well. That’s not to say this jock isn’t serviceable in that respect, it’s just not great.
On the positive side, the pouch is long and the cut is very well-suited for men with athletic frames (me). While the pouch could have been slightly deeper or more contoured, my boys never felt cramped or squished. Another good aspect of this jockstrap is its style. The idea to incorporate waistband support straps makes the jock look somewhat neat and the two-toned color design of the pouch is a nice touch. While it certainly isn’t the most stylish jockstrap out there, it is far from boring, which earns it positive marks.
Despite the drawback of its functionality as a jockstrap for intended jockstrap use, such as the gym or the street/sidewalk, I would still recommend you give this one a try simply because it is incredibly comfortable despite its drawbacks, especially for daily wear. I would recommend that if you are the size in the middle of the size chart (e.g. you have a 35″ waist and XL is 34″-36″) that you size down, regardless of your measurement as I’d guess these run about an inch and a half large.
Check them out! You can find them wherever Candyman is sold.

Candyman furnished this pair for review.
I always enjoy getting to review a brand that is new to me and the 9674 Boxer is my first pair from Candyman. Overall, Candyman makes quirky and unique underwear that runs the gambit from colorful designs to costume underwear. The 9674 falls into the colorful category. The bright red boxers feature a black contrast zig-zag stitching and white horizontal lines on the leg panels (The 9674 is also available in a white/black combination).
I wore the 9674 for a vigorous day of errands around town, then out to dinner and overall they were a very comfortable pair. They did have a very small amount of ride-up but because of the short trunk-like cut, it was very minimal and not even noticeable until I was changing at home that evening. Additionally, the 93% Polyester/ 7% Spandex mix made for a very snug yet pleasing fit.
As always, I am happy when a pair of boxers has a nice pouch and the 9674 hit the mark with one that is roomy and offers just enough support. One interesting feature that is not readily noticeable from the pictures, is that the horizontal lines on the leg panels are actually pockets. There is something about this that is somewhat amazing to me as they are constructed in such a way that adds absolutely not extra bulk to the boxer and does not detract from the comfort or clean lines. The only question I have is why? While I could not conceive a reason to do such a thing (as reaching into your pants to take a call my be somewhat awkward in most social situations), the pocket fits an iPhone 5 nicely.
At the end of the day, this is a very solid and comfortable pair of boxers, nothing groundbreaking but I’ll be keeping them on the top of my pile.

Welcome to the 2012 Holiday Guide. This has to be the biggest guide we have done to date. We had over 80 pairs of underwear, three models, a photographer, an assistant and a stylist. We are going into our own photography and will be launching something soon, so stay tuned. First we would like to thank our sponsors: Candyman, Clever, Pikante, PPU, Vuthy and Zylas at Gold Level, Croota and Premium Underwear Store for Bronze and Designer Drawers at Silver! A special shout out to Matt at Designer Drawers for helping get our models and our stylist.
Our models for this guide are Cody, Kyle and Adam. Cody was in our Swimwear Guide and both Kyle and Adam are new! We plan on doing another shoot with them soon! I am working on a behind the scenes video but so far the iMovie program is uncooperative. It will be out hopefully this weekend.

It’s Friday so that means that its time for Underwear of the Week. The third week is a jockstrap! This week we choose the Candyman Two Shades Jockstrap! The reason this wins this week is it’s just FUN! I got a chance to see this one in Vegas and I really love the way it looked!
Over the last few years jocks have become their own category in undies. I think before that it was always considered a part of the “fetish” world. Now they are front and center in many collections. Companies are making jocks in fun colors, different materials and are not just creating “classic” jocks. This is not a “classic” jock but a new take on a classic pair of men’s underwear.
Reasons this pair made underwear of the week:
Candyman is a really fun underwear company. They have never been shy or strayed away from fun. They were first brought to my attention when they first released the costume underwear. Since then they have branched out to sexy yet still fun underwear! I got a chance to see the new line in Vegas and if you’re a fan you will prob like the new line.
Here is a break down of some of the pairs we think you’ll love
