We have had some issues with Canada, well, not me, but some other crazy people here in the States. Make sure you support our friends north of our border who make amazing gear, such as RawStudioDesigns.com. They make such great underwear and swimwear. Could you go check them out?
Why don’t guys Come out as underwear lovers?
I have been going through a lot lately. Most of it I won’t go into, but one thing I have been thinking about is why is it a lot of guys still hide their love of underwear. Now, after many years of doing UNB, my love of underwear is part of my personality and DNA.
One of my most significant issues is getting regular guys on the podcast. I hear more of you guys saying you like hearing these guys, who are real guys and not social media guys with thousands of followers. They love “normal” guys sharing their origin stories, and many times, it matches their own. The more we hear our journey is not one-off, the more guys can accept and build a community.
Why isn’t talking undies accepted
Imagine walking up to your best friend and saying, “Man, these new AussieBums are fucking Fantastic,” And he goes, “Right!? The fit is perfect. Which color did you get?” This is normal to me, but for 80% of you reading this, it’s not something you would ever share with a buddy or friend.
My main belief is that underwear is something we are taught shouldn’t be seen. Therefore, it is something you should not talk about. It’s something very personal. I mean, growing up, we weren’t supposed to be seen in it, and if we were and got pantsed in junior high, it was embarrassing. And if we were just in our undies, I bet most were told to put some pants on, and it’s not polite to be in just undies.
Second, underwear plays a key part in coming out for the LGBTQ community. In my case, the pilgrimage to the underwear sections of department stores was a significant part of my adolescent years going to the mall. I would say I was going to the bookstore, but first, make a trip to undies and gaze at the skimpy designs and bright colors. So many others did this, including some straight guys. We would then buy these undies when we got money and hide them. We would feel sexy and incredible sliding them on. It was our secret until we were inevitably found out. Many were lucky like me, and it wasn’t a big deal, and it was accepted. While others had their precious stash thrown away and told to wear underwear that real men wear (this leads into my last point in the next paragraph). Our sexual identity is so closely tied to our underwear love that it makes it even more of a personal journey.
Lastly, when you talk about undies, the population at large has ideals about what is masculine and what real men wear. This has been ingrained in us since our youth. Boys wear boxers or boxer briefs; anything smaller is made for girls. And to fit in, you will wear what is expected. This is compounded by the fact that men aren’t supposed to feel or look sexy. If you do feel sexy, then you aren’t masculine. We are going through a phase where men are expected to be one way and one way only—anything else, and you are cast as unusual and strange.
All these things keep guys from coming out as underwear lovers. Social media has allowed guys to create alt accounts and share pics and posts anonymously. This allows more people to share their love in a safe space. And I applaud those doing it. Our friends and coworkers wouldn’t understand our passion. The joy we get from fabric and the confidence it brings us daily. It’s a hidden superpower we possess. Just know I will talk undies with anyone. It may take me a minute to reply, but I love these conversations.
If you read this post, I hope you have or will reach out to other guys and make new friends. It’s important we stick together and form a thriving community of underwear guys. There will be more to come on the blog and podcast about community building.

I’m reaching out for help, which I rarely do. My iPad, which I use for creating art, is over six years old. Because of its limitations, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to draw or create in the past six months.
I initially thought, “I’ll take a break from art to focus on the podcast,” but creating art relaxes me and helps relieve my stress. I also want to improve my skills, particularly in physical art forms like painting and drawing, which I haven’t explored much.
Recently, with the madness of our current administration, I felt the urge to draw and create something fun. Unfortunately, my iPad could only handle a few layers in Procreate, the app I use for drawing, and it became extremely slow. Opening some older artwork took up to five minutes, leading me to give up in frustration.
So, I’m curious if any of you who enjoy my art and engage with my work would consider helping to fund a new iPad. The new entry-level iPad is priced at just $349, and while I’d love to get an iPad Air, it’s significantly more expensive. I can manage with the entry-level model, as I did for over six years. Plus, everything I own now works seamlessly with this iPad. I don’t need to get a new pencil.
I’m not asking for an iPad Pro—just something that will allow me to create more art for all of you. There are two ways you can contribute. First, you can purchase an Apple gift card at https://www.apple.com/shop/gift-cards. That email is unbblog (at) outlook dot com. Alternatively, you can send money through PayPal. I won’t post my email here, but feel free to contact me, and I’ll happily provide you with the details.
You might wonder why I can’t use the Patreon funds for the iPad. The truth is, the podcast is only just above break-even. The costs for hosting, equipment, domains, and other expenses consume almost all the income we receive from Patreon each month.
Thank you for listening and for any support you can provide!

I asked last week on social (Bluesky and Reddit) what is an unpopular Underwear opinion that you share and we had guys share with us some of their opinions]
| Name | Opinion |
| N/A | Classic white briefs (tighty whities) are the best choice in men’s underwear |
| Underwear should be treated as an important part of an outfit, not just an afterthought! Too many guys grab whatever underwear is clean without considering how it affects their comfort, confidence, or even the way their clothes fit. Just like shoes, underwear choices should be intentional and suited to the day’s activities. | |
| Sticks | A lot of new underwear has extra room for your junk as a selling feature. I actually prefer things to be right and tight in that area. Like, why is the term “banana hammock” seen as a bad thing for underwear? Hammocks are super comfy. I need tight underwear so I’m not giving the world an anatomy lesson every time I wear sweatpants |
| Andrew | Unpopular in general society is that thongs are the best underwear! I believe that they are! Why do I feel this because in Australia buying a man’s thong is almost completely impossible at retail outlets! It is not seen in any media unless as a joke. |
| Pete | “Guys who pull their underwear up so high almost above their waist. It reminds me of kids dressed by their mom “ |
| N/A | “Men wearing underwear designed to fit a woman’s body. And generally ill-fitting underwear but that’s often the case with lace type underwear and lingerie. This could go for any garment tho, when the cock and balls are popping out the side what’s the point of wearing them it just looks off. Idc what kind of body they’re on. They hardly look good on women too “ |
| N/A | The word “undies” is a turn off. I don’t know why, maybe it just seems juvenile, but I don’t like it. |
| N/A | “Late 20s straight guy here. Controversial only because of my demographic but… briefs are best. No ride up, great support, and they’re damn sexy. Others: 1) Guys look great in lace 2) Hammock / ball cradle pouches are awful 3) Poly > cotton” |
| T Loves Briefs. | Designer undies are overrated. Cheap briefs are the way to go. You can buy loads of them and not worry about wear and tear or nasty stains. |
| T Loves Briefs. | “Guys who only wear boxers and boxer briefs are too conformist and unimaginative. Gay guys who only wear boxers and boxer briefs are also a bit internalised homophobic.” |
| James | Briefs aren’t pushed enough more in the mainstream still. I feel this way because although briefs are becoming huge again stores and advertisers refuse to push them more in the mainstream still. |
| Steve | Boxer briefs and trunks are dumb. Why have all that extra fabric, usually riding up throughout the day, that isn’t necessary. Guys only wear them because they don’t want to be seen in briefs because, “briefs are for gay guys.” So dumb. |
| Jockstrap Junkie | “1) Boxers can be sexy and comfortable. I had to make the switch a couple years ago because of a medical condition that requires the naughty-bits to get more ventilation. American Eagle is my brand of choice because they have a slimmer fit. 2) Jockstraps or thongs are better than compression shorts or boxer-briefs in the gym. Boxer-briefs and compression shorts hold moisture contrary to their advertising while jocks and thongs allow the body to breathe and allow the freedom of movement while keeping the twig’n’berries snug. 3) Tighty-whities are just horrible. I never had a good experience with tighty-whities as they pinch, pull, poor fly designs, and don’t hold shape well. This has just been my history with them … not sorry to find much better underwear. 4) Not a fan of lace or coarse mesh. As a bi-guy, I don’t like the materials on either men or women. Just looks and feels uncomfortable and not a attractive to me. 5) When did spandex become taboo? As a GenX guy, spandex shorts were the fad in the 80s and 90s and nobody gave two shits about seeing a moose knuckle. I don’t mind seeing people wear spandex shorts and they don’t need to be shamed by today’s GenX prudes that were the same GenXers that wore them decades ago.” |
| Dan | I hate jocks. However I love thongs. I feel like thongs would become accepted and mainstream but jocks are holding them back. |
| Simon Blu | I personally love Underwear and never go commando. But thongs and g-strings are my favorite because a good pair will hold Penns and balls in place without fear or embarrassment of an erection. It also still provides support but allows minimal coverage in the back while allowing me to feel sexy and without bulging underwear lines. |
| Javier | More underwear should be sold in singles. Especially new brands, I want to try one first before I buy a 3 pack. |
| Rich | I’ve always had a thing about underwear. Pretty much from the early 80’s. When I was working out I was gay. At that time, here in the UK. Briefs were pretty much all guys wore. Then baggy boxers arrived and nearly everyone was in them. From the word go I hated them. Male figures, sudden smothered in shapeless fabric. I tried wearing them. They bunched up, pulled hair and skin in every direction and offered little in the way of support. So I kept to my briefs. I’ve even turned down meeting guys. Based on pics of them in really unflattering baggy boxers. Yes that might sound daft. But how a guy looks in underwear is everything to me. As I said to a freind once. A guy in underwear is a bit like a birthday present. Which one would you prefer. One wrapped in an old newspaper. Or one in a sparkly gift box with a bow on top. Baggy boxers are my idea of old newspapers! |
