I spent all day Saturday at a friends pool. The first time I was in a pool all summer. I have been too busy to sit down and relax. It reminded me of the UNB Swimwear guide. I love working with Martin, Andrew, and Jacob (pictured).

Not only does Cocksox make amazing undies and swimwear. They are also running their Mid-Year sale. You get up to 60% off select styles. These pairs will sell out so shop early.
Bring the heat with the new Spice collection. The new collection from Cocksox is all about solid and bold colors! Not every guy who reads UNB wants prints, patterns or such. They want some bright and bold colors that express who they are! There are four new colors. A new style and a singlet aka tank top! Sorry guys, but down under they call singlets, tank tops.
The four new colors in this collection are Sumac Red, Mint, Casablanca, Lapis Blue. These colors are inspired by the desert and the rich culture of Morocco. They will make a statement. I personally love big bold colors in underwear. It’s fun to put them on and wear them all day. The red, which I saw in Vegas, is vibrant and fun. Well, the entire collection is amazing and well worth looking into adding to your underwear drawer.
New in this collection is the CX05BD Thong. It’s the classic thong design with contrast color trim. It’s similar to CXO1 they released a few years ago. Next is they ware adding the CX03 Waistband Brief and the CX93 long boxer brief. The Long boxer brief is pretty amazing. This is coming from someone who isn’t a big boxer brief fan. The legs are tight and have the amazing Cocksox pouch. I don’t know how they translate it from a brief to a boxer brief.
Lastly is the Tank. They have them with the Cocksox logo on the front. You can broadcast your love for the brand! I’m sure if you wore out in general public you would get some looks. Or if you wore to the gym! Some of you guys just really don’t care and will rock it regardless!
Make sure you head to the Cocksox site and check out the Spice Collection
Andrew and Martin went on an Atlantis Cruise and we gave them some fun swimwear. This is Andrew in Cocksox! They had a blast and we will have more pics soon!
I wanted to post on my favorite brands, Cocksox. The swimwear this year is on fire and I love it. It’s time to show it off! Why not get one of the best pouches on the market and rock it!
It’s Thong Thursday and every post today will be thong related. This is from our Holiday Guide this year. This is Martin in the Cocksox String. Get this and other thongs at the Cocksox site.
Mesh underwear is a favorite of many of you guys out there. Mix that with the pouch of Cocksox and we have some pretty amazing undies. This past week in Vegas I got a chance to check out the new Shredded collection from Cocksox. This is one of many things coming from Cocksox in the next few months! These pairs will be out March 5th and in preorder.
So what’s so different with this mesh? It’s not your ordinary mesh. From the Cocksox website. “Featuring exclusive Italian ultra-soft mesh fabric right around the body – the most revealing mesh ever seen on Cocksox underwear – and the signature enhancing comfort of the Cocksox Original Pouch.” I got hands-on with this pair and the mesh is pretty amazing. It feels great and each pair has an abstract pattern in the mesh. No two pairs are alike!
These come in colors but it’s just the waistband and trim. The mesh is a black and will show off what you have, depending on the pattern, you may show off more or less. The styles the Shredded line comes in is CX01SD Brief, CX16SD Bikini, CX68SD Sports Trunk, and CX76SD Sports Brief. The colors are Eclipse (red) and Atomic (yellow).
As I stated above this line will be released on March 5th. This line takes Cocksox to the next level of sexy. It always amazes me what Cocksox comes up with men’s underwear. They mix colors, fabrics with their classic designs and always seem to make something amazing.
If you are interested in getting this pair you can order it directly from the Cocksox website.
Cocksox furnished the CX92 Long John for review. All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by (brand).
Rating: 9/10 (Average of the ratings below)
Pros:
Cons:
UNB Tim recommendation: As long johns go these are now my favorite. They will keep you warm and give you amazing support throughout the day. My biggest pet peeve is that most traditional long johns don’t offer support and you must wear another pair of underwear, under them! These are the best of function and form.
If you were anywhere in the States with the exception of SoCal or Hawaii, it was cold as hell. In Atlanta, we went down to the teens (for those outside of the US that’s -9 degrees C). On top of that, the ice and snow came too. This was the perfect weather to give the CX92 Long Johns a try. Let me preface this review by saying I hate layers. As in dressing in layers. Halfway through the day most of the layers come off. On top of that, I don’t wear a t-shirt under my shirt to work because I get too hot!!! My rant is over.
As stated above I wore this on a really cold snow day at home. Which was a good move! I noticed how these under my jeans kept me warm. Normal long johns drive me nuts, you always have to wear underwear under them for support. Note the rant above. I decided to try these without anything. Cocksox built in their awesome pouch into these. Which I must say feels awesome. Cocksox knows how to make a pouch on bikinis and long johns.
If you are a long time fan of Cocksox you know their fabric is super soft and amazing. I was worried that this fabric wouldn’t be as warm as other fabrics but I was proven wrong. The construction of the pair is top notch. I have had very few issues with any pair of Cocksox I have ever had, and I have quite a few. The first pair I got in 2006 is finally wearing out. The pouch as I have already said is awesome.
These were a little tight on me. But I’m not sure if it was the extra fabric under my jeans or the extra holiday weight. Cocksox typically is spot on with sizing. I haven’t had many issues over the years. If you follow their sizing guide it’s pretty much true to what they say.
I’m glad Cocksox is making Long Johns. It’s about time we have some form in the function of this style. The pair kept me warm, had an amazing pouch and felt amazing. I could picture me wearing these all day in the winter. These are well made and super fun!
PAIR: Cocksox CX92 Long John
COLORS: Onyx or Crystal Blue
FABRIC: 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra®
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $50.00
Who doesn’t love a pair of underwear with an amazing pouch? One of my all-time favorite pouches you need to check out Cocksox! All their undies are amazing and the swimwear too.
We love stylish long johns This is Andrew in the Cocksox Long Johns! The Crystal Blue color makes it POP. You can be warm and stylish all in one! Picture by Taylor Campbell.

Then use the hashtag #soxtober and you could win $50 daily prize and a grand price of #$250! POST NOW!
The first style I ever fell in love with is bikinis. I loved the look and fit of them. They gave me the support I craved but lacked in the tighy whities from big box stores. When I turned 16 I got to buy all my undies. That meant no more white briefs and only bikinis in bright colors. It wasn’t till I was about 21 that I finally bought a pair of white undies. By the way, that pair was a white bikini. We flash forward many years and we may be on the next wave of bikinis in men’s underwear.
I predict this because underwear is not just or gay men anymore. As evident by our staff, more straight guys want the comfort of great underwear. They refuse to wear boxers or boxer briefs. They want support and fashion. This means they are experimenting with smaller styles. Then they discover how awesome they are!
Using purely unscientific methods, over the last few years, I have noticed a lot more bikinis coming out. If you follow the definition of Bikinisnthongs on Twitter, these fit that definition. One brand that has consistently had a bikini is Cocksox. The CX01 is their original and best seller. It’s one they, I think they will always sell.
Another brand that is great at producing bikinis is BodyAware. Look on their site right now and you will see Tangas, bikinis and more. One of my favorite bikinis I have is the Endowed Brief from BodyAware. It’s the true definition of bikini and fits great. This silhouette is in many pairs on the site. The Bodycon and Cowboy briefs are two of the bikinis they offer. Both are styles I would gladly wear.
I hear many of you going, yes but two brands don’t make a movement. Yes, that is true. The vast majority of brands don’t have traditional bikinis. They have briefs but nothing that is skimpy. This is not something we are going to have happened overnight. When I started UNB, boxer briefs were the craze in men’s underwear. Now we are moving to briefs and smaller trunks.
I think going forward the men’s underwear market is going to segmented. No longer into gay and straight but those who love undies and comfort and those who haven’t discovered it yet. I think I can officially say the gay/straight is gone. We are just guys who love amazing undies.
Cocksox furnished the CX21MT Jockstrap for review.
Rating: 9.6/10 (Average of the ratings below)
Pros:
Cons:
UNB Tim recommendation: LOVED this pair. I had a few slight issues but none that detracted from my experience. The waistband and fit were two things I loved the most. I wore this to a 5K Walk/Run and it was the perfect pair to wear! It proves that you can wear a Cocksox Jock for more than just fashion!
A few months ago I wrote the post that this jock by Cocksox was my favorite jock. Now with the update for the Lustrous Elements Collection, I was excited to try this again. The metallic waistband is something I LOVE! This time i was putting this to the test via a 5K walk/run! Would this still be my favorite jock? Time would tell.
As I mentioned above, this pair was worn for something active. I had a 5K walk/run to attend and figured why not wear the jock! Most of the day I wore them to work. At work, they really weren’t tested. After work, it was on. I’m getting back in shape and was talked into the walk. The support was perfect for the event. I barely noticed I was wearing underwear, which is a good thing. I did have some issues with the waistband rolling some. I don’t know if this was because of the metallic band. Because my other one doesn’t do this. Regardless I didn’t notice it through out the activity.
This pair is made with the amazing fabric that Cocksox is known for! 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra® blend always feels awesome. It’s super soft and fits like a glove. The pouch is in my top 5 pouches of all time. It does show everything off, I mean everything! It enhances what you have and make it look amazing. Luckily under the shorts, I wore it wasn’t too bad. Cocksox has consistently had some of the best construction over the years and this pair lives up to it.
Sizing for Cocksox has been consistent over the years. Before I would tell guys to go up a size but now it’s pretty spot on. Just follow the size chart and you won’t have an issue. I received an XL pair that fit pretty well. The waistband didn’t restrict. I hope I won’t be in that size much longer!
Overall this pair was awesome. The few issues I had were not noticeable. The pair held up to my wear and work out very well. I love the look and fit of the pair. The construction and fabric are always top notch. I highly recommend this pair.

Today we have four different pairs of swimwear for our Swimwear Sunday. Just Friday, Cocksox released the new Gala line. Perfect timing for our Swimwear Sunday. The new range is bright and fun. Plus, they make amazing swimwear. The pairs I have are amazing. I love wearing them and they fit awesome.
The Gala range features “glamorous wetlook style fabric, and is available in four luxurious colours across four classic swimwear cuts. This shimmering form-fitting fabric exudes confidence and is the perfect indulgent swimwear for the beach and pool ” The colors have what look to be a shimmer effect. You will definitely stand out at the beach or pool. But, with Cocksox isn’t that what you are supposed to do?
The Gala line is available in 4 new colors and 4 styles. The colors are Lavish, Caribbean Bliss, Fiesta, and Platinum Red. The Four styles are the CX02GL Brief, CX08GL Trunk, CX24GL Brazilian Brief, and the CX79GL Boy Leg Brief. I can’t recall Cocksox having the Brazilian brief in their line up before. If you aren’t familiar with the Brazilian cut, it’s a similar cut to the CX02 line but with a smaller back. Keep that in mind when shopping. Some guys don’t like the smaller back.
Here are some bullet points to keep in mind on the pair:
Notice the last bullet point. This means don’t sit on concrete by the pool. This is not uncommon for swimwear in general. I have had perfectly good swim ruined by sitting by on the concrete for multiple times. If you are going to wear this by a pool, keep this in mind.
CX02GL Brief,
CX24GL Brazilian Brief
CX08GL Trunk
CX79GL Boy Leg Brief
To by the pairs go to the Cocksox Site:
Running an underwear blog I get asked my opinion all the time about underwear. This can be people on social media or friends. Most of the time they are asking about what they should start on or what briefs/thongs they should wear. Very few talk jocks to me. This got me thinking I should share one of my favorite jocks of all time.
The Cocksox CX21 Jockstrap is probably one of my favorite jocks of all time. The first reason is the amazing Cocksox pouch. The support it gives is amazing and yeah it shows off a little. Regardless of sexual orientation, we want our underwear to show off our manhood. Next is the design. It has a regular waistband with smaller leg straps. The bonus to me about the leg straps is that they don’t get as twisted throughout the day like the bigger ones can. There is nothing worse than a twisted leg strap on a jock throughout the day.
You may be asking if you can wear these to be active in. After all, jocks are made for working out and sports. My answer is yes you can wear this. It can be worn at the gym, playing sports or running. I have worn this to play softball at one time. I couldn’t find my UA jock and wore this one. It performed amazingly. In fact, I wore it a few time that year. It didn’t fit well with a cup. Yes, I tried it. Now if you wore compression shorts over it would work. But that was too damn bulky for me. I prefer just a jock when I played softball.
The very last thing is the fabric. It feels great against the skin and breathing. This is a fashion jock, not really designed for performance, but it did pretty well for me. I would recommend it to anyone needing a jock to wear for any occasion. It’s amazing to put it short
It appears they maybe refreshing the Jocks (or that’s my hope) you can get the Metalic jock, the CX21MT in gold/black or silver/white. The CX21N is on “Last chance.” But I give this a big thumbs up and a must for guys.
We loved shooting the UNB Swimwear Guide. It was a lot o f fun. One brand that is a lot of fun is Cocksox! It’s traditionally known for the pouch but you can also show off the back! Martin is wearing the CX02 Brief in Purple Haze.
