tumblr_o6083mJnBR1scd3e3o1_540Who’s ready for a Liquid Lunch? We’re not talking about a brunch with Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Rather the swim Pair from Lunch called Liquid Lunch. I discovered them on Tumblr. They had some amazing pictures and I had to see what they were selling. Who is Launch and what are they about:

Lunch is about creating products to better meet the needs of men in both comfort and masculine style. Every Lunch product is the result of months of fabric testing and design refinement to produce a garment of superior comfort, premium quality and unsurpassed durability. So you can wear your Lunch product safe in the knowledge that we’ve done everything we can to make you look better nearly naked!

One reason we chose this pair is it’s a brief but it’s not too small. Its actually a larger cut than many out there. Does this mean it’s any less sexy? I say heck no. On guys sometimes a bigger cut is just as sexy as a bikini. In fact I think a larger cut can accent a guys body more than a bikini. The Liquid Lunch is a pair that I thought was super hot.

The Liquid Lunch is also an enhancing pair. It may not seem like it. The goods aren’t on display. “Designed with a contoured, supportive pouch to get you proudly out front.” Meaning it will enhance but not show off too much! There is sometimes too much of a good thing. Swimwear is where many guys want to show a little but not too much. More so than with underwear.

This pair is available in three colors. Black/White, signature Purple/White, vibrant Royal Blue/Red. The pair we are profiling is the Royal Blue/Red. The fabric is a premium lycra fabric. This means it will fit amazing and hold it’s form all day.  TheContrasting, ‘Lunch stripes’ inner lining on front contour pouch sets the pair off nicely. Lastly, the Lunch signature purple lunch loop tag on front trim detail.

Lunch is out of Australia. We are loving what they are doing and will have more from them very soon!

edited _MG_1353Over the last few years. Swim thongs have been making a come back. They have always been around the world of men’s swimwear. But it was on the periphery. Many guys have been hardcore swim thong fans. They were not easy to find unless you knew where to look. In the last two year more companies have been making them. The latest company to enter into the swim thong arena is BodyAware.

You may know them from their sexy men’s underwear and lingerie. But I bet many of you didn’t realize they create some awesome swimwear. We already profiled the Patriot Swim Brief. We had to share the Super Power Swim Thong!  Here is the official description:

Channel your inner super hero in this exceptionally sexy swim thong. The lightweight nylon/lycra fabric clings to your shape with just enough support to look great and feel comfortable. Stylishly wide waistband has a shaping effect and a drawstring waist. This swimwear item is not lined, so if you order the white color, it will be see-through when wet. The other colors are not see-through when wet. Thong back.  – BodyAware

Note the thong is not lined. As we have discussed a few times in other swimwear. Unlined means it has the possibility of showing off a lot more than traditional swimwear. This is very much the case with the white swimwear. You have been warned it will be see through when wet. This is a selling feature for some of you but others don’t want to show off all the goods.

One thing I really love about this pair is the wide waistband. Many swim thongs can have very thin waistband without a draw string. After many wears the band on some can come loose and cause issues. This one has about a one inch band with a draw string that will hold it all in place and not give a show! That is unless you wear the white pair!

If you have wanted to venture into the water with swim thongs the Body Aware Super Power Swim Thong is one you should look into! Be bold and rock the thong!

BS2-16-6N2N Bodywear is releasing some new lines in June. The first is the Nitro Patriot and the second is the Basic Gym Collection. The one we are going to cover now is the Nitro Patriot. The Nitro line was released last year. Its a mix of solid and mesh design. It’s very daring for swimwear to have mesh. At least I think so. When I think of swimwear, I rarely thing of mesh.

Last year the Nitro was available in several different colors. When the new N2N line was released I was sad to see that it wasn’t being continued. I think it’s super sexy and daring for the guys who want to show off. Then about a week ago, I thought I saw the Nitro Patriot on a social media site. But, I couldn’t go back and find  it. Then when I went on N2N’s site last week I saw it!

The new Nitro has a very stars and stripes design. The front has a pouch made out of blue material with white stars. The back has a band of red stripes with the N2N Bodywear logo. Just like the previous collection, they have mesh around the sides and around the back. It shows just enough skin but you won’t show it all off.

Where would you wear this pair? That’s a very good question and I can hear many of you asking yourself this very question. You can wear it to a beach, but make sure it’s one where thongs are legal. I would say probably most of our readers would wear the Nitro to a private pool or private function. But, we aren’t one to judge, if you feel awesome in this pair go out and wear it where you dare!

8VcXYWgEN2N SBS Stellar Swim Briefs furnished by N2N.

Rating: 8/10

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 8/10
  • Construction: 9.5/10
  • Styling: 8/10
  • Daily Performance: 8

Pros: A great swim brief cut and fun, eccentric pattern

Cons: Tight in the bum and revealing for those with very defined bits.

Beau Briefs recommends: This is a fun pair, great for a day at the beach or time in the hot tub.


Okay apparently I need a smaller bum. Here is my one, wah wah, thing to say about this: my bum makes the pair a bit too tight. Now the reason I am saying this upfront is because this has much more to do with me than it does the actual pair itself. So, let’s just get it out of the way now. My butt fills out the suit and as such the seams along the lower cheeks bite a little bit. That’s all, that’s it: the big wah wah. The other minor thing (close your eyes if this reads as too much info) I have fairly distinct lines down in the bit and berries so sometimes fabrics that aren’t thick enough show everyone my religion.

Now! On to all of the good and lovely stuff about this swim brief by NSN.

N2N is bringing back some fun and crazy patterns, starting with this Stellar Sport. It comes in four distinct patterns/color combos. Now on the website it’ll be called Stellar Navy Turquoise. I prefer to think of it as Stellar Interconnected Super Highway, but mostly cause I’m a dork. It’s a fun pair with crazy colors that makes you think a bit of Tron, in a good way. Plus there is the fun turquoise cut of fabric that breaks up the pair in a flirty way.

The cut is my favorite. Give me a classic swim brief/speedo cut any day of the week! Heck, give me two! I love when pairs have a good amount of space up

front and cut wide enough but also high enough on the sides of the pouch. Give me just 1-1.5 inches (wait for it) of material around the top part of the thigh and I’m a happy camper. That’s just what the Stellar does, it cuts higher up the leg to really show off the pouch AND show off the legs.

Since it is N2N I do have to bring up one thing. I don’t have to bring up a thing about the fabric selection. It’s true, I have yet to try on a pair of N2N where the fabric blend was not amazing. No comfortable, scratchy, or annoying feeling pairs ever come out of that place. This pair is no different.

Despite the tightness of the bum for me I did rock this pair out on one of the glorious Seattle beaches. Okay parks next to the water that we call beaches…stop laughing. I was with friends a few Saturdays ago in our 90-degree weather (yep, go Seattle). Everyone complimented the pair, the fun-ness of the fabric and how it looked, because a tightly squeezed bum is nice to look at. So the day was a hit and so was the N2N Stellar Swim Brief. And once I find a friend with a hot tub. I will be in that tub so quickly with a glass of wine and this swim suit that heads will spin, jaws will drop, and jealousy will rage.

If you are in the States, the 4th of July is right around the corner. If you are going to spend a day out on the beach/pool, think about getting something patriotic. Some take the patriotic theme literal and others like the Patriot Swim Trunk is a more abstract take on it.

You guys may know BodyAware from their super sexy mens underwear and lingerie lines. I bet there are quite a few out there who didn’t know they made swimwear. This years swim line is pretty hot this year. We posted the video that BodyAware did to announce their swimwear. They even have a swim thong this year!

The Patriot Swim Trunk is more of a brief cut. It’s a bigger brief than we have been profiling. It could be a great first pair for any guy wanting to venture into wearing a swim brief in pubic. This is what BodyAware says about this pair: “Smooth, sleek and stunningly fresh: the newest line-up of BodyAware swim gear features a handsome swim trunk constructed of glistening medium-weight nylon/spandex, with a contrast waistband and stripe down one side. Side stripe has grommets for a bit of show-through, and comfortable waist has a hidden drawstring that is finished with metallic tabs. Inner lining in the front and a full shaped back”

The design of the Trunk is a little conservative for BodyAware. I’m used to having body accenting designs and smaller cuts. This is not a bad thing. I think there should be a mix of both in a collection when ever possible. They do put their own spin on the pair in the black and pink color combo. This pair looks great in both combinations.

Why is this great for a first time swim brief wearer? The bigger cut will make some guys feel more comfortable. The front is fully lined and you won’t be showing off any VPL, well for the most part. It has a great price and not too expensive. The design isn’t over the top and you can say you bought it for the 4th celebrations. However, if you want to go a bit bolder the black/pink is a great option too.

Make sure you go see some of the more revealing pairs in the new BodyAware line.

B70-16-8We have profiled some great pairs. But what about you guys who want to go dare as you bare? However, you still want to leave a little to the imagination? There is a pair at N2N Bodywear that is perfect for you. It’s called the Daredevil. The one with prints.

The Daredevil is a string bikini cut. It has a pouch and full back. When we say string, we mean STRING. The front has a seamless pouch. Being a string bikini this means no draw string in the waistband. It’s simply too small to feature it. Also, the back has the N2N logo on the back.

There are two prints in this collection. There is a Malibu Blue and Havana Red. Each print has a definite tropical feel. The blue is my favorite, simply because I like blue over red. Would I wear it? Um, not right now but I know we have plenty of readers who will love this line. We have a lot who love this style. If you’re not a fan of the prints there is a solid color collection as well.

Where would you wear this pair? Well, it really depends on who you are and where you are. We have plenty that would wear it to a private pool party but never out on the beach. Then we have guys who love to show off who will definitely wear it in public and love every minute of it. The Daredevil is a lot of fun. Where ever you wear it, wear it proud and have fun.

Speaking of show offs, the pouch is unlined. Meaning there is only one layer of fabric. This can have the potential of showing off a lot more. Most swimwear, especially swim briefs have a lining. This is to prevent VPL. So take that in account when you think about this pair.

Find the Daredevil on the N2N Bodywear site for $28.

FF1-16-4-3_grandeJust when you thought N2N Bodywear wouldn’t have a swim thong. They go ahead and spring the new Fire Island G-string on us! It’s part of the new Fire Island collection. The last thong was part of the Pride collection that has been discontinued. As we said before, when we talked to N2N they told us they would be releasing new collections through out the year. This gives us lots of excitement here. We will have some new reviews very soon.

We have more readers who are braving to wear swim thongs. They have worn swim briefs or are skipping over the brief and going straight to the thong. N2N has been a big supporter of the swim thong. It’s a company you can count on to have one. When the new collection was released back in March/April, it was strange to me that there wasn’t one at launch.

The biggest thing you will notice on the Fire Island collection buckle. This buckle is fully functional. Meaning it comes completely unclipped and will show off everything. This could be good in certain situations. N2N always adds a sexy twist onto their styles. It could be a pouch, a cut or in this case the buckle.

The pair comes in bright colors. Mango, Green, Fuchsia and Turquoise. A swim thong will definitely get you noticed, but these colors will make sure you get noticed. But, isn’t the point of a swim thong is just that? I will say I have worn swim thongs in the past to go swimming. Where I wore them were a private pool and not in public. Would I wear one in public, right now nope! But we have plenty of you out there who would!

The pair retails for $30. N2N is known for having great styles at affordable prices. If you want to brave a swim thong in private or public, this maybe the pair for you!
