One of our participants in the 2016 UNB Swimwear Guide is Modus Vivendi. Modus Vivendi’s principal concern is to be an interesting, creative and innovative design house with affordable prices for all fashion-conscious men. Modus Vivendi’s dream is to conquer a decent position on the global market, one that primarily involves the people who care about and appreciate diversity and, whether or not it is to their own personal taste, welcome it.
Four years ago this week we published our Swim Guide! It makes me long for a day by the pool. We worked with two amazing models and one amazing photog. I can’t wait to get back to doing more shoots after COVID is over. This features Drew in Modus Vivendi.
In today’s world masks are a given? Studies have shown that wearing masks reduces the spread of COVID-19. When we venture out, we need to be wearing a mask. There are a lot of people who hate wearing them, I get it 100%, I”m not a fan of them either but, it’s better to wear them, than not.
A few weeks back we gave away masks from Jockstraps.com, and I received two of the Barcode Berlin masks. I will say that these are some awesome masks. Some of the other one’s I have had didn’t fit well or were hard to breathe through. This includes homemade and ones I purchased.
What I like about these masks is they fit really well. Unlike other masks I have had the nose piece has reinforcements that make it conform to your nose and will less likely fog your glasses. Next the replaceable filter is a great feature many other masks don’t have.
The masks run $20-24 depending on the style you get. Check out these awesome masks at the Jockstraps.com site.
We are looking for guys who want to share their love of underwear! We are doing two things that we need your help with! The first is our Fan Friday. The second is the Brief Tale Podcasts.
First, is the Fan Friday. We want to profile guys on our blog and social media who love underwear, swim briefs, spandex and gear! Real guys, you don’t need to be a model to submit. We want to celebrate those who love gear. To submit email us or DM us on social.
Lastly is the UNB Brief Talk – Brief Tale podcast. This is a conversation we have with a person, couple, or even friends, and find out how they discovered their love of underwear. It’s awesome to hear directly from the guy when he first noticed underwear, what was his first pair he bought, and how this influenced him going forward. Each guy has their own journey but it’s amazing how we are all like.
Some of the ones we have recorded are 312 Couple (see in main feed), Thongtastic Ryan, Danny Warhole, and Briefs Buff & Ardgj. The rest will be out in the main feed next week.
To submit pics or do a Brief Tale email us at info@underwearnewsbriefs.com or DM us on IG or Twitter @unbblog

JOR Furnished the 1025 Sunny Swim Thong and the 1023 Caribe Swim Thong for review. All opinions are that of the reviewer.
Rating: 8.4/10
- Daily Fit: 8/10
- Sizing: 8/10
- Construction: 10/10
- Styling: 8/10
- Daily Performance: 8/10
Pros:
- Classic, sexy design
- Comfortable fabric
Cons:
- Wide waistband & back
- Pouch size
Both the 1025 Sunny Swim Thong and 1023 Caribe Swim Thong are quite similar other than a few cosmetic details, thus I’ve decided to wrap them both into one review.
The first thing that caught my eye about these thongs are the design. They have a classic, simple design, but add some excitement through bold colors (in the case of the 1025 Sunny Thong Candy) or metal embellishments on one side (on the 1023 Caribe Swim Thong). Those minor details take these from blah to AHHHH!
Another great feature of this thong is the comfortable fabric. I find that some swim thongs can only be worn for a small amount of time before becoming uncomfortable, but that’s not the case with these. They are designed for all-day comfort and also designed as true swimwear as they are lined inside.
Where these miss the mark personally are in the areas of sizing. First, the pouch is just big enough for me to fit everything in comfortably, but a little extra roominess wouldn’t hurt. The bigger issue, and admittedly it’s a personal preference, is the size of the waistband and back. The waistband and back measure right around 2 inches which is about twice the size of most of my thong collection. The back leads down to a very thin string of less than a half inch. While this isn’t uncomfortable in any way, it will lead to quite a thick tanline if you’re planning on spending a day in the sun in these. If that’s the case, I’d suggest ordering multiple so you can maintain that tanline without always having to wear the same one over and over.
Overall, these thongs are nicely styled, comfortable, and a must have if you don’t mind a thicker tanline. Maybe this will be the summer that I go for a bolder tanline, because these thongs have definitely captured my attention.
We love doing fan Friday. It’s easy to participate! Just send in a pic of you in gear and we will post on the UNB Blog and social media. It’s about guys of all shapes, sizes, colors, and underwear likes.

To match our brief distraction tonight we have the overview of the guide we last shot. We had planned a 2020 shoot but due to COVID-19 it got canceled.
What’s better than a TBT, how about a TBT featuring a thong from our 2018 Swimwear Guide. The second time we have featured a thong. We want to do a full thong shoot soon. Picture is by Taylor Campbell.
