Review: Candyman 9525 Black Brief

No Comments

I have written an article in the past for Candyman.  It was the seaman brief with the chain and anchor pattern.  I loved the fit of that selection.  This brief, known only as the 9525 brief, failed to deliver that same great fit.

The overall look of the brief is great.  I can definitely see the sex appeal it would create.  Actually, just before writing this article, a very handsome gentleman I’m acquainted with put them on for a little modeling session.  I have to say with his skin tone, his lovely Italian body hair, and his great build, this pair of underwear looked fantastic and would easily take the breath away from any onlooker.  The pouch, generously filled….the rear, greatly accentuated.

But, I digress.  When I wore the brief, its construction seemed a bit far fetched.  The back wasn’t as uncomfortable as the front.  There is a stretchable seam that runs from the top of the pouch under and up to the waistband in the back.  The seam sits neatly in the crack, but it irritates the manly parts in the pouch.  It basically tells your rod, “Hey, pick a side!”  For those men who are more endowed, the seam will serve as a nice attribute as it allows the pouch to expand outward.  I felt it to be unnecessary for me and a cause for irritation.  As with a previously reviewed pair of underwear, these briefs had to be taken off before I arrived back home.

The brief is made of 90% nylon and 10% Spandex, making a nice stretchy and smooth combination.  The waistband is 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) and doesn’t cut in at all.  That’s always good!  Not taking the seam into consideration, the brief feels awesome.  It is definitely a brief I would love to feel against me all day.

REVIEW: Candyman Fashions – 9526 Black/Red Boxer

No Comments


Candyman Fashions is one of the brands I have enjoyed working with the most during my span at Underwear News Briefs.  Their unique take on styles, colors, and ability to push the boundaries of men’s underwear is amazing.  They are probably one of the few companies that can make a pair of underwear look like plastic or leather and make them feel and wear like you have on your traditional cotton/spandex mix trunks.

I received the ”9526 Black/Red Boxer” in a size medium.  Candyman Fashions often gets their ideas from role playing costumes and is probably better known for this unique take on underwear.  Don’t get me wrong!  I love a unique pair of undies.  Sometimes, however, I crave something a little more subtle.  Candyman has a great line of underwear that is just plain FUN to see and wear and you don’t have to get tied up in the whole costume look.  The Black and Red boxer is one of those styles that’s not a costume…just simply a fun pair of undies.  They feature a solid black front and back panel with a solid red 1.5” strip down both sides.  Both the red and black have silver metallic specks woven into them to give these undies a unique shine and almost plastic or leathery look.  This pair of Candyman also features a solid black elastic waistband with a contrasting white Candyman logo on the front.

These and many of the other styles from Candyman are great for daily wear, but these undies really shine when you wear them out on the town.  The fit is great for all day wear, but the patterns, colors, fabric, and sex appeal are meant to be noticed.  They are also able to add extra spice in the bedroom.  I wouldn’t recommend wearing these to the gym or out for a run.  I am not saying that you couldn’t, but I believe there are better undies for that.  It would be best to let these eye catching undies be seen in the wild and not full of sweat while doing a squat workout.

Overall, I really enjoyed these undies. They add an element of fun and a little “something different” to my ever expanding underwear collection.

Review: Candyman Fashion Sailor Boxer (9509)

No Comments

I was recently asked to review some Candyman Fashions from their 2009 collection.  One pair I picked to review was the Sailor Boxer.  They are very comfortable and hold everything where it belongs.  I love support and was very pleased with what they provide.  I am not a big boxer brief fan as I prefer less coverage but these were awesome.  The legs were comfortable and did not bind or ride up.  I totally forgot I was wearing boxers.  They are festive and fun.

My family has a history with the U.S. Navy and I grew up around water so I have an affinity to anything nautical.  I love the sea air, the sounds of the ocean, the smell of the salty breeze and the joy of swimming in the bay.  These undies bring that all back to me.

These undies are fun and eye catching with a gold chain at the front of the waist and a little gold anchor decal on the leg.  They are made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex.

Review: Candyman Fashion Thong (9512)

No Comments

The final pair of Candyman Fashion underwear I chose to review was the thong (9512) in red.  This is a fun pair with decorative rings at the waist and three rings in the back, forming a “Y” type of strap.  I was a little concerned about the rings in the back but there was no need for concern at all.  I am not used to thongs but I totally enjoyed these.  They were so comfortable I almost forgot I was wearing a thong.  The material was soft and held everything in place and the strap in the back wasn’t cutting or anything.

I so enjoy the variety of undies out there and the chance to change it up every now and again.  It is fun to try different styles and brands and learn new things and find different fits that I never knew existed.  I am learning that underwear should fit you lifestyle, provide you comfort and give you an all around good feeling.  If all thongs are like this pair, send them my way please!

These undies are sexy, comfortable, and extremely fun.  They are made of 90% Polyester and 10% Spandex.

Review: Candyman Fashion Briefs (9515)

2 Comments

Another fun pair of Candyman Fashion underwear I chose to review was a brief.  These have a very supportive black pouch with the rest in a black and white zebra strip pattern.  Everything about this brief was comfortable.  There was no binding and a lot of support.  It was fun wearing them as they are sexy and nobody knew I had them on until later that night when my wife saw me undressing for bed and showed her appreciation.

Some day I hope to take a trip to the African safari and see zebras, elephants, giraffes and lions.  These undies remind me of the things that are wild and free.  Maybe when I go on my safari, I’ll take this awesome pair of undies and show a little bit of my wild side – one never knows. 😉

These undies are made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex.  They are stretchy and supportive and oh so comfortable.

Review: Candyman Elephants Tusk

No Comments

If I say, “costume underwear”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?  A giant pair of briefs for a Halloween outfit or is it a whole brand of underwear that is unrivaled in its creativity?  If you picked the second one, then there’s a good chance you have heard of Candyman Fashion.  They don’t make your standard underwear.  They make your outrageous underwear.  If you love to be the center of the attention at a party when your pants come down, then I recommend you read on to learn about quite possibly the most exciting underwear known.

What makes up the perfect party underwear you ask?  It’s simple: 92% Polyester, 8% Spandex, some screen-printing, and some foam ears.  Put all of that together and you’ve got yourself the Elephants Tusk underwear.  You may think that foam ears may be uncomfortable or create an awkward bulge in your pants, but they are neither.  I actually found the ears to be arm support when you’re reading or working on your laptop.  Some serious creative points go to Candyman for that.  You probably have one other question.  If it’s elephant themed, where’s the trunk?  Let me answer it this way…there is a hole in the front.  Use your imagination!

When these arrived, I saved them for Friday and decided they would be my casual Friday pair.  For the most part, they were pretty comfortable.  A little loose, especially at the legs, but other than that, there was a fair amount of support.  I do see the screen-printing coming off after a few washes unless you are extremely careful washing them.  The support stitching that connects the ears to the rest of the pair seems skimpy and something to keep an eye on for sure.

Though there are the good and bad points, the goods do make this pair well worth the cost for the smile it will bring to everyone seeing them.  If you enjoy flaunting your underwear, then you NEED these.  If not, these will certainly get you to that point.  Candyman has other pairs that have a little less 3D to them, so be sure to check back at UNB the rest of the week to see the reviews on other underwear styles they have to offer!

Review: Candyman Knockout Nurse

2 Comments

I’m sure at one point in your life, you’ve wanted to be a doctor, nurse, or wear a white coat with the purpose of helping people.  If that career path didn’t work out, there is always hope of being another kind of nurse: a Knockout Nurse, thanks to Candyman Fashion.  Simple, eye-catching, and useful; these three words define the Knockout Nurse underwear to a tee.  From the rhinestones to the pouch and the red and white theme, you can’t go wrong with this pair.

92% Polyester and 8% Spandex and some rhinestones are exactly what the doctor ordered.  When mixed together, you have the perfect cure for boring underwear. They are equipped with a pouch…a very large pouch actually, and to be honest, I wasn’t accustomed to pouches.  You never know how handy pouches are until you don’t have them.  Another feature of this pair is the rhinestone RX on the side, not to mention the White Cross on the opposite side.  This pair has no problem getting attention.

When I tried them on, I noticed that they are pretty snug and there isn’t any riding up.  They are a pretty comfortable pair of underwear.  To my surprise, there wasn’t an issue with the rhinestones, which I actually figured would be a problem.   I was presently surprised when it wasn’t.  This pair survived a full day of class, lying around, and the gym.  They held up like a champ.  I would definitely recommend this Candyman selection.

Review: Candyman 9514 Boxer

No Comments

Everyone and everything has a modest side and Candyman Fashion is no exception. The 9515 Boxer is one of their more modest pairs and even someone as exciting as me needs a break now and then to enjoy some simple, but enjoyable, boxer briefs. Though I did say simple, they are quite shiny and in the right light, they are a little see-through.  When you have them on, you don’t have to worry about anything being seen.

This pair is made of 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex, all of which is again, very shiny, almost a little too shiny for my likings.  Since I wear pants over them, it’s not that big of a deal.  There is a simple design on the front of red horizontal stripes on the legs that connect to a black pouch, all with a bit of glitter to them.  Surround that with a silver background and you have yourself a modest pair of underwear.

When it comes to actually wearing the pair, the 9514 is a little loose and it has an interesting feel.  I can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s a tight feel, even though the pair is somewhat loose.  Don’t let that deter you, however, from giving the 9514 a try.  They are still a great pair of underwear.  If you would like a good fitting, comfortably simple, and modest pair, I would certainly recommend that you go and buy the 9514 Boxer!

Magic is Just Magic, Part 1

1 Comment

I’m still working on getting all the info from the different lines to bring to you, but in the mean time, I have all these pics and wanted to run down my time at Magic. It was really fun and from here on out we are going to try to be at all the shows and cover men’s underwear and give you all the info on the new lines.  If you aren’t familiar with what Magic is, it’s a big show for retailers to look at and buy all the new lines for both men’s and women’s clothes. But there is a section called “Underwear Alley” where most of the underwear companies are located.

The first thing I have to say is it was really great to meet everyone face-to-face. We have been working with most of the companies for a long time and actually being able to sit down and talk to them was great. I did forget to ask a lot of “What can I report?” and “What is new” But, in my defense, the whole thing was a bit over whelming at times. You see some of the top underwear companies in the world, and you get a chance to look through the lines and it’s like being a kid in a candy store! Then the next day you go, “DOH! I should have asked…”, but that’s what email is for! As a side note, it’s been a little slow getting all the information, because they all have to go back and put in all their orders and get everything shipped to the company. But never fear we’ll get you more info shortly!

With that said, the trip to Magic was a fast one, I basically spent one day in Las Vegas. I flew in Wednesday night, the show runs Tuesday through Thursday. Then took the red eye home on Thursday night. Told you it was fast! I got in and crashed, since the plane landed at 11:30 EST. I got up the next morning and hit the show. It was a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

Baskit

I got in the show and talked to Eric from Baskit. I dropped my stuff at his booth and then met Eric Turner. I’m sure many of you are aware of him from MegaMuscle and Facebook. As you can see by the pic of us together, he kept saying he was fat, and I was like “Whatever!” Although, he kept cracking me up all day. I will say that I enjoyed seeing him through out the day! The one thing I really want to check out is the new “easy access” pair they have. I am getting more information but it’s going to be a very fun pair.

Candyman, Clever, PPU, Pikante

The next stop was at the Candyman, Clever, PPU and Pikante Booth. These are new companies that we just started working with before attending the show. I got to meet them and go through the collections. One of the things I really loved is they have a line of shape wear that has prints on them. Which are the coolest thing I have seen in a while. We have predicted that shape wear is going to be big and with this latest addition, it will be even bigger. I got a chance to see the Candyman line and it’s just a fun line. My favorite set they had was the vampire one! These are really the first fantasy line for men I ever remember seeing that had some time into creating the line and made it fun! The other lines I love because of the use of prints and patterns.  Clever has to be one of the lines I really want to see more of, because of the patterns. They have some really great patterns and prints. I admit I’m a color guy and love it when I see new companies taking risks with colors. I will go into more detail and bring you guys Brief Distractions from the companies!

Punto Blanco

I got a chance to talk to them for a little bit. They are a line we have only covered in sales information. We have done very little with that and we hope that will change. We have emailed back and forth and I hope we will get more in depth info for you very soon. Punto Blanco reminds me a sport wear line. They have stripes and solids, noting too out there.

(B)rief underneath

I got a chance to talk to them through out the show. I walked around a lot. I think they have a really cool concept in underwear. It’s boxers with a brief built in. I know so many guys who are still wearing boxers, but haven’t made the decision to move to briefs, and these are a great compromise. They have really great colors and styles of the boxers. I am not much of a boxer guy but I did see a few pairs I liked. So, if they got me looking at them, then they are doing something right. They also, were showing their loungewear. I can’t wait for these. Imagine comfy lounge pants with underwear built in, I know it’s not traditionally underwear but this is brilliant concept and I can’t wait for it to come out! We will keep you posted when it’s available.

Ginch Gonch

I like Ginch Gonch, there are many things going on with them. They have come out with their new “I Love” line. Which currently features I love boys and girls lines. They are going to extend it into a few more cities. The  I Love London was just released at London Fashion week this past week. They are carrying over the themes of I Love in to some really cool Long Johns. I love that companies are actually experimenting with them. I admit, and I know many out there love the traditional long johns, but I would love some color and fun in long johns. Ginch Gonch has proved this with their previous pairs, such as the Argyle ones. I am talking to them soon so I’ll let you know more out the new lines.

This is the end of Part One! I will finish up tomorrow with the rest!  I will go over a few more brands and then we’ll keep you up to date on the hottest men’s underwear!

REVIEW: Candyman Fashions – 9516 Zebra Boxer

No Comments

One of my goals this year working on the Underwear News Briefs blog is to expose our readers to some brands of underwear that they may not know about. Candyman Fashions is one of those brands that I wanted to bring to our readers.

Candyman Fashions looks to role playing costumes to get inspiration for their underwear. However not all of their undies have a “costume” feel. They have some great undies with a lot of fun, unique, and sexy features that you will not find with any other underwear company. Their fabric is one of a kind and you must experience it to really grasp its uniqueness.

I received the”9516 Zebra Boxer” in a size medium to review. This is one of those styles from Candyman that is not a costume, but just a fun pair of undies. They feature a zebra style pattern on the hips and butt, and a solid black front and inside thigh panel. A solid black logo waistband trims it off and adds a little extra “pop”. When I first pull these undies out of the package, the first thing that I noticed was the fabric. It has a shiny look to it. The black front and inner thigh panel almost looks like leather. However, this fabric feels nothing like leather. It is thin but durable, and it stretches and moves with you without any issues. These undies fit great and looks even better .My first impression of the front pouch wasn’t the best. I found it to be a little small, but as I wore them, they almost conformed and molded to my body and we actually very conformable to wear. The one drawback that I did notice is the leg openings did ride up a little, but not enough for me to really notice too much.

These and many of the other styles from Candyman are great to wear for daily wear, but these undies really shine when you wear them out on the town. The fit is great for all day wear, but the patterns, colors, fabric, and sex appeal of these undies are meant to be noticed. They also can add a little extra spice in the bedroom. I wouldn’t recommend wearing these to the gym or out for a run. I am not saying that you couldn’t, but I believe there are better undies for that. Best to let these eye catching undies be seen in the wild and not full of sweat while you are doing to squat workout.

Overall, I really enjoyed these undies. They add an element of fun and a little “something different” to my ever expanding underwear collection.
