It’s another great Tuesday for a deal. This week the Baskit $12 Tuesday pair is the Billy Boy Trunk. This is a pair you guys will definitely need especially the single guys out there.
Way back in 2000 we launched our first collection of premium men’s underwear with a built-in condom pocket.
This collection features a useful, concealed pocket for a condom* or any other small party favor you might want to bring along for the ride.
For our current collection we have teamed up with BillyBoy, Germany’s #1 condom producer, to make sure you’re ready to go when duty calls.
Poppin’ colors, a great fit and our unique condom pocket make BillyBoy underwear perfect for those close encounters. Remember guys… wrap that Rascal!

Are there any we left off the list? This is a pretty comprehensive list but if you think there are more things to add comment and let me know.
Do you love skimpy swimwear? There are a few brands out there you can shop but one that always does skimpy great is N2N Bodywear. From their thongs to their bikinis, this is a new bikini Tikini Night! “Bring on the night, with this smooth and silky micro bikini…unlined and fabulous! Sexiest tan lines yet”
When you shop for any fetishwear it’s usually expensive AF. It can run into the hundreds of dollars. If you go full leather it can be more. However, if you have always wanted a fun jock or harness MaleBasics just released a new collection of fetishwear that is affordable and fun.
The new collection has a series of jocks and harnesses (full body and just chest). I love this collection because it’s affordable and will allow more guys to dip their toe into the fetish world. I love this collection and would wear every piece, especially the harnesses. I may pick up a few for myself.
And if you love them they are on sale 15% off at the UNB Store, no codes needed. The most expensive pair is $32 regular price and $27.50 on sale. Here are some of the pieces in the collection. Shop the MaleBasics collection.
The new Candyman for fall is out, and it’s super hot! It’s a mix of masc/fem goodness. I personally love Candyman for mixing things up and letting guys have something outside the norm. Some won’t wear the garters, but a g-string is something we can all agree on. Shop now at the UNB Store and get 20% off with code Candyman2 at check out.
Today we are going to check out what are you guys top factors for choosing new undies. We asked you about several topics and here is how you guys answered. This was one of those long questions where you got to rate many different criteria.
This one was a no brainer. Material is very important to all of us. I think this was the only one to have no one answered “Not important.” Good material is a must for choosing undies.
This is how is the underwear is cut. Is it comfy, are the legs too tight or too loose. Again another very important thing for you guys.
Another important issue is the fit and how the undies fit your body. We all know that certain styles may not fit us as well as well like.
About half of you really think the pouch is very important. I fall in this camp. There is nothing worse than a pouch that is too big or too small. Or for that fact too loose. It has to offer amazing support or really what’s the point?
One of the biggest issues we hear in undies is how inconsistent sizing is across brands and countries. It’s also very important to you guys as well. You really need to know which brands run small and which run larger. Although it seems most run smaller. Also, which brands only go up to 36 inch waist!
We all have a favorite style, a thong, bikini, jock, brief. When choosing new undies we def gravitate towards those pairs and what’s new.
This is another one that shocked me. I thought more of you guys would be more concerned on color then answered. I thought it would be one the top criteria. But it’s prob in the middle of the pack.
Again another, huh? This one is by far, some what important, which is middle of the road. Some of you I know are not very price sensitive. If you want it you’ll buy it. But, a lot more of us are very price sensitive.
I think sex appeal is one of those depends on the situation. If we are getting undies for work, it’s more functional but if it’s fun or date night we want it to be super sexy. That’s just my thinking
Is the pair fashionable? Some of you do and some of you do and some of you don’t.
Last is the construction of the pair, basically how well it’s made. This is important for you guys just not what I thought you guys would like.
Stud wants you to join the big boys club. They always make super fun and some what fetish styled undies, I mean who wants a vanilla underwear drawer? Well not me. You gotta have something fun for date night or play night.
If you love men’s lingerie and Candyman you have a treat coming your way. The newest collection of Candyman Just dropped. It features so many lingerie for men including full body and stockings along with the amazing thongs and g-strings you come to know from Candyman. Here is a quick look at the new collection but there is so much more! At the UNB Store you can get 20% off with code Candyman2 at check out.
One of the most perplexing questions about undies I have seem to be answered by you guys. I have pairs of underwear that have been worn out or I just don’t like any more, so what do I do with these old pairs? Do I give them to a friend? Put them in storage? Sell them or get rid of them.
The overwhelming response is toss them. To be honest I wasn’t expecting this far of a spread. I can see getting rid of those pairs that wear out or get holes in them, but not for pairs that you don’t like anymore. But, you guys have spoken.
So if you have pairs you don’t want and worn out I say thow them out, if you have pairs you don’t like give to a friend or sell!

Color is always important in undies. We ask what your favorite colors to wear in each survey. You get to choose more than one color. We used to go with your favorite color but so many love so many different colors. The top three colors are Black, Blue and Red. By far they out do all the other colors. White and Green are liked by about 30% of you guys and the rest of the color round out.
Here’s the break down of colors from least to most popular.

It’s been a while since we posted about the UNB Patreon. We started this to help cover the costs of running the blog and morphed it into the Podcast. First, the podcast has gained a great following, and we have so much fun doing the show. It’s been great having guys really connect without guys and share the stories of real guys out there. We have a lot planned for this year and will bring you guys a lot of podcasts. We also want to know what you want to hear on the show.
Why do you have a Patreon?
Great question; as I said, it’s not cheap to do a podcast. First, there are hosting costs for the podcasts. Then there are equipment costs for improving our sound (such as mics, editing Softwear, and other equipment). Being an entrepreneur, aka underemployed, it’s not easy to cover all these costs.
How much does it cost?
We have levels as low as just one dollar a month. You can go up to $10 and we are thinking adding some hight levels with some amazing rewards.
What benefits do I get?
First, you get the shows before the public. Second, you get the pre and post-shows. Where we talk about everything and anything. Plus, we talk about SEX LOL, occasionally. We have so much fun on these, talking about whatever we can. It’s worth it just for the pre-show. We want to add more benefits but want some feedback on what you guys want. Note, you will have your own RSS feed you need to paste into your favorite podcast player.
How do I join?
Just go to the UNB Patreon Page. It only takes a few steps to sign up and enjoy. Any questions let me know!
These thongs are made of a knit seersucker fabric. The rough, wrinkled texture of the thin seersucker offers a cool touch. The frontal cup is slightly larger to supplement the cloth-like material’s lack of elasticity. Parts, including the inseam joint section, are reinforced with bar tack stitching since they tend to be exposed to a lot of force. Enjoy the cool color tone and tight fit associated with Japanese-themed underwear. Get this thong at the Toot website.
As the underwear industry grows, brands and their designers seek alternatives to the classic cotton blend fabrics used for ages in the construction of men’s underwear. New technologies, extensive research but also a need for innovation as the industry evolves, contribute to the use of new fabrics. The most popular of the all is definitely modal. Modal is a semi-synthetic made from pulp from beech trees. It is a type of rayon but made from particularly high-quality cellulose. Many have called it “the underwear fabric” because of its increasing use in the industry and its properties; modal is breathable, lightweight, absorbs water better than cotton, it has a silky feel and is naturally resistant to pilling. Modal was originally developed in Japan in the 1950s. Today, the biggest exporter of this type of fabric is China, while most of it is produced by the Austrian company Lenzing AG, which has the trademark for the fabric; its brands include Lenzing Modal, China Modal, and Formatex. Apart from Modal, Lenzing has trademarked two, even lighter, versions of the material, which are called MicroModal and Modal Air. These two fabrics are an even finer knit making the garment softer and more lightweight. Below you can find a selection of products made from modal, micro-modal and modal blend with cotton, which we think represent this trend best.
The first pair of underwear we show you, and one that we think represents this trend quite well is the Thrust Briefs by CODE 22. This is a contemporary style, low rise men’s bikini briefs with sporty stripes on either side of the pouch. These briefs are made from a super soft modal, cotton and elastane fabric, that feels amazing on the skin. In this underwear, micro modal offers you the comfort you need for everyday wear and agility for sports. You will feel like wearing nothing at all!
The second pair of underwear in the list is the Oliver Briefs, one of the most stylish briefs of the season by Barcode Berlin. These briefs are made from three distinctive fabrics: ribbed cotton, modal and elastane. Modal here is used for its softness and breathability and as lining for the pouch. The brand used it also as a design element, giving it a dashing colour to stand out from the rest of the garment.
Apart from briefs, modal is used in the construction of other underwear styles such as this jock brief by Andrew Christian, the Show-It Locker Room Jock. The American brand used the fabric to add to the enhancing features that this jock has. This way the pouch expands to make extra room while the inside pocket offers the right support without restrictions. In this case modal was used for being stretchy, allowing the underwear to still maintain the second skin feel it was designed to have.
Another one modal specimen, is the Brighten Thong by Marcuse. This thong is a sexy, low rise, modal thong perfect for every day wear! The fabric is a modal blend with a generous amount of elastane. Here modal prevails by giving you incredible comfort, softness and minimal hold. For this reason, the brand added a wide waistband to hold the underwear firmly on the body.
The last pair of underwear in the list is the B-Shorts by Adam Smith, a pair of low rise trunks designed for every day wear. The fabric in this case is micro modal, that feels like silk against the skin. The brand used micro modal for its breathability, agility and lightness to make it easier to wear all day without feeling any discomfort.
The Apollo underwear series is inspired by Olympians and made for champions. Designed to perform with you whether you’re going for gold or just breaking a sweat.

How appropriate I write this on Thursday, as the ultimate throwback Thursday. One of the biggest highlights of UNB has been going to Vegas and spending time with people in the industry. I would meet them at the show, and we even did a Meet & Greet at the Luxor for many years. But over the years, the number of brands has decreased from a high of 40 to 8 the last time I went to Project (you remember the one I went to the Hospital, ugh).
Shortly after my last trip to Vegas, COVID took over the world, and the Aug 2020 and Feb 2021 shows were canceled. But, they decided to put on the August 2021 show. I booked my hotel and airfare back in May, thinking, “Hey, it’s hot girl summer, we’ll be back to normal, no masks, and it will be a somewhat normal trip to Vegas.” Well, that was WRONG. Cases in lower Nevada are a national hotspot for Covid. I have been double vaxed, so I should be good, but I know three people who were double vaxed who caught covid.
As the list looks right now there are about 4 brands that I will possibly see and I haven’t found out who are in suites yet. I think COVID put an end to the underwear brands going to trade shows. Usually, I go all out and do a ton of amazing posts for Magic but my last few months have been rough on me. I had a health scare that occupied me from May till July. I have since been given the all-clear but for weeks it was on my mind. But it Made me think, I am going to run a lot of the Survey results over the four days I am gone. There may be only 2 posts a day. Because I hope I can relax some, but if I’m in my hotel room destressing, I may post a few new posts, wifi willing.
My plan for the show is:
Go so the Show that Monday and see what’s up. I will probably be done that day.
Go to some seminars on growing a business, I mean it can’t hurt since I’m registered
Mask up everywhere! Yeah I’m Going to be that guy in the casinos and I don’t care.
Try to have some fun and relaxation after my last horrible trip to Vegas.
Meet up with some local friends and hopefully one of our new podcasters (You’ll hear more about that later)
I will do a follow up and let you know how it went. But being a store gives me more access and makes things a lot easier. Registering to be press was a pain in the @ss, and they always lost my registration. Now as a retailer/buyer I get right in and have no issues.
