cocksox briefsOn the review table for today is the CXO3 Waistband Brief from Cocksox.  This is my first pair of underwear from Cocksox.  I was pretty excited when the package arrived and I realized what was inside.  Getting underwear is always fun, we all know that.  Upon examining them

I realized I was sent a pair of small briefs.  As you know I usually wear briefs in medium.  I was a bit concerned by this considering how small they looked when I held them up.  The fabric was soft and seemed stretchy enough to form to my butt and provide me with all day coverage.  I also took notice of the pouch and was curious to see how that fit, but more on that later.

When I wear a pair of underwear to review I prefer to go about my day as normal.  Doing abnormal activities wouldn’t allow me to give you all an honest and fair judgment.  Keeping true to this I wore them to work.  The key thing to mention here is that my pants are fairly tight fitting.  This is where it is important to mention the pouch of the underwear.  They push all your package right out front and don’t really allow them to be pushed back.  While wearing tighter pants this very evident as things could be seen through my pants.   Maybe this is why my sales for the day were better than everyone else’s.  As for the rest of wear, they stayed put.  No wedgies or misplaced leg holes throughout the day.  I will say that taking a bathroom break and trying to tuck myself back into the pouch was a bit challenging.  Once I was situated back into them I again took notice of my frontal protrusion.  Kinda funny really.

I mentioned earlier that I was sent a size small to test out.  Yes, I was concerned about how they would fit.  To be very honest I do feel that a medium would have been better, but the smalls weren’t bad either.  The rule I follow is that I wear small trunks and medium briefs, in most cases.  I always wear small jocks, except for Unico.  Exceptions to every rule you see.  This is a pair where following my rule for briefs would have been best.  According the website for Cocksox they do follow American sizing, but again we all know what works best for each of us.

Did I like them? Well to be honest, I’m still on the fence about that.  On one hand they were comfortable.  The material used to make them was soft and despite not being my usual size choice, still conformed nicely to my butt.  On the other hand though, they were a bit revealing and forceful in the way they presented my package.  I have found that a lot of the other lifting pouches still allow your outer clothing to push your package back not allowing too much to be revealed.  I think if I had worn them in a different setting they might have not shown as much, but again I want to give a fair review and most of my underwear will see a day work at some point or another.  I did ask my boyfriend for his thoughts and well, he said the front looked like a Peep.  I wish I was making that up.  I guess my final thought on whether I liked them or not is that yes, they are fun, but I’d probably go for a less pronounced pouch in the future.

Cocksox furnished this pair for review. You can find them at their website.

revIt was 8 years ago that Cocksox sprung onto the men’s underwear scene. At that time I was just a blog reader and came across these amazing pics of a guy in red bikinis. It was much later I realized that this brief is the CX01. The pictures were amazing and the pouch is what intrigued me the most. Not being a blogger at the time, I would have to long for this amazing undies.

In 2007 I was a college student. So, getting undies shipped from Australia was not something that was in my budget. At the time I was shopping the underwear sections at Marshall’s & TJMaxx. Spending full price on undies was not in the budget. Later in 2007 I joined another underwear blog. I was a writer and one of the guys had an extra CX01 White and sent it to me. I got it and immediately put it on and I couldn’t believe the fit. I was upset it wasn’t the red that was in the picture, but it fit amazing regardless of the color.

The pouch is the most important thing in underwear to me. The pouch in the Cocksox is a one piece design. There are not straps or such to keep you in place. Like the name says it’s a sox for your, you know…The Cocksox famous pouch feels like was made just for me. It fit me like a glove!  I fell in love right then with Cocksox. It holds everything in place, which I like in my underwear. The pouch also has the ability to sort of enhance what you have. It pushes up and out. So be careful what you wear because someone may get an eyeful depending on what you wear!

Another thing about Cocksox is they have lasted a long time.  The very first pair I have from 2007 I still have and wear! Its not often you have a pair that last that long. The only problem I had with Cocksox over the last few years was with the Backstage line. Backstage is a line made out of modal. Modal fabric is super thin and can tear easily, but it feels so soft and breathable. Its still an amazing line. I have never worn anything I didn’t like from Cocksox

We flash forward to 2009. UNB is about six months old and I start working with brands. One of the first I ever dealt with was Cocksox. Before going any farther I have to say there are few brands that I don’t like working with, and those that are…well I won’t say here! But I got to know the gang at Cocksox. First through email. I did a lot with them back in the day and would cover them I think every week.

Then in 2010 I met them in Vegas for the first time. It was so much fun putting the face with the name. I have since met with them a few times in Vegas and have done countless reviews. I used to hog all the reviews for myself but since shared with others on the site. This is evident by the underwear reviews we just recently posted for them and the new CSX line. They are some of the most amazing people in undies. They introduced me to a candy from Australia called Minties and i’m so upset they aren’t here in the US.

One of the more humorous things that ever happened was back in 2010 I did a review for the CX01 in Magenta/Pink. I was going to wear it to an interview. I looked down and I swear it looked like I was smuggling softballs in my pants. I went “There is no way I can wear this to an interview.” So I promptly changed.

I want to note, I Googled to try and find the original picture. But no luck then I realized my personal blog I started in 2004, eventually became UNB. So I searched UNB and on page 28 I found the original pics! So they are posted here! They aren’t big but still amazing and bring back memories.

I love it when companies really succeed. To stand the test of time and be in the underwear market for 8 years is an accomplishment. I say, CONGRATS COCKSOX, we hope to have you around for 8 more years, at least…

CS002_redThe pair I am reviewing is the Cocksox CSX65 Boxer Brief. This pair was really attractive when I pulled them from the package. The color is a bright vibrant red. The feel of the fabric was super soft. I couldn’t wait to try them on. I had never bought Cocksox before and really like the idea of the CSX so it doesn’t say Cock on my waistband.

I have worn this pair twice already. Once when I worked both of my jobs so it meant moving around a lot and wearing them for a long amount of time. The underwear stayed in place the whole time. They felt comfortable and were easy to move in. At times I forgot I had them on since they were so comfortable. The next time I wore them it was for both jobs but it was also a 99 degree day out. So I got extremely sweaty. These are designed to wick the moisture away from the body and I got to say it really worked. As someone with a bubble butt when underwear gets sweaty it normally starts to ride into my ass. These stayed in place and remained comfortable. I would recommend these for working out and sweaty situations

The pair is a size small which covers 28 to 30 inch waists. The pair fit me perfectly. The pair looked awesome on my ass and the pouch fit me perfectly. The pair is made of 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra®. According to their website Supplex is the feel of cotton with more technology.

I really loved this pair of underwear. The y-front on the front and the bold bright color is fun. The pair is so comfortable that I will be wearing them often. These have jumped up my list of favorite underwear for sure. I will be purchasing more of these for sure!

Pros:

  • Held up throughout the movements of my day
  • Fun color
  • The fabric is super soft and comfortable

Cons:

  • There were no cons with this pair. I loved them and will wear the pair lots.

cocksox-siteIf you’re a fan of Cocksox and haven’t been to their site in a while we suggest you go now! We briefly covered this in a Brief Distraction last week but wanted to give you more info about it. You maybe going, “yeah but it’s a new site not rocket science.” This is true but they have done something to their site you need to know.

Just recently they launched the CSX line. Its a subtle rebinding of the line to have more people to get to know the brand. Not everyone wants to wear underwear that says Cocksox. I do, but many retailers and people kinda shy away from the brand for that one word. This causes them to miss out on a great underwear line.

The image above (shot by Jerrad Matthew) is the home page. You have two choices to go to the Active Male side or the Alpha Male side. The Active Male features the new CSX line. Where as the Alpha Male is the traditional Cocksox we all love and know.

The site is very easy to navigate and loads quickly. Its a great redesign for a great brand. Their old site was much like the UNB site, it’s fully functional but after a while it’s time to update to a more modern design. I say it’s a great job!

Many of you maybe wondering, CSX what brand is that? I have never heard of them. CSX is a rebranding of Cockcox. I’ve heard from a few readers who say they don’t know if they could buy a brand named “Cocksox”. Cocksox being one of my all time favorite brands I always try to convince them to bite the bullet and slide them. Once guys try them, I like to say they are hooked on the fit and quality.

Cocksox was listening to the conversations. If you look around at stores online you won’t see them at some of the bigger retailers. I personally think it’s the stigma of the C word! When I met with them at Magic they showed me the CSX line and I thought it was brilliant from a marketing perspective. This will allow them to gain more retailers and customers.

There are some things you need to know about the new line. The branding/labels will be listed as CSX. Everything from the waistbands to tags will have the “CSX” on it. Some of the underwear/swimwear had been toned down a bit. I don’t mean in colors or patterns but in pouch size. The pouch in CSX is not as bold, for a lack of better word, in some pairs. It won’t show off everything you have and then some!

This line adds something I don’t think they have had before or used often. Cocksox created a boxer brief with a fly. The CSX54 has one of the few functional fly ever used by Cocksox. I really like seeing them branch out into new designs. While, I’m not the most favorite but I think this will get them some new customers.

The underwear is not the only part of CSX. The perfect example of the new CSX for swim is the CSX06. This is a swim brief but doesn’t have the pouch of the CX02. The CX02 takes what you have and proudly puts it on display. The CSX06 has a traditional cut of a swim brief. It’s classic and made in the really fun colors. Perfect for your first Cocksox swim or to take our Swim Brief Challenge!

We are going to bring you a lot more on this new line but wanted to let you know about the CSX line! Each pair will get it’s own Style Brief.

I asked a few of the guys on the site to give me what undies would they suggest for summer. Each guy gave me a pair and a reason why it would be a great pair for summer. Here is our list of what we think would make great additions to your underwear drawer.

 133137-102025_58131_1 UNB J.D.Bjorn Borg Check It -Nothing says summer light bright yellow, purple and pink plaid, Check Yourself in the awesome pair of Bjorn Borgs.
 o4e0c427738496_cx01_orange_34_301x340 AtlBriefsCocksox CX01 Bikini Orange – Cocksox brief in orange. Aside from the fantastic fit, the bright color definitely puts some pep in my step
 c-in2_ss13_3426_clearwater_teal_f_zen_mens_underwear_street_jock_strap UNBBrandonC-IN2 Zen Street Jock Clearwater – I am a huge fan of bright colors so it was difficult for me to pick one but I am also not the kind of person who punts when asked to pick just one thing. So for me, it’s my pair of C-IN2 Zen Sport Briefs in “Clearwater.” I think the light turquoise color is very summery, and the underwear itself is perfect for hot summer days because it features perforated rayon (mesh) fabric.
 0010-X37620-80014 Alex B2(x)ist Cabana Stripe – 2(X)ist does a great job picking new and flashy colors and designs. This pair has it all, the colors  and the stripes. These bright colors are the colors of this summer.
 921616_10151425491013325_772501945_o Tim2EROS Jock Line – My personal favorite is the blue pair. The bright blue material with the contrasting red accent will brighten up your undies drawer!
