This week we have a great pair for the Baskit $12 Tuesday sale! This week it’s the Light Trunk.

They say that “necessity is the mother of invention” and nothing could be more true. Light was born out of repeated requests by baskit men living in warmer climates who wanted a lighter fabric.

While we normally use heavier interlock cotton blends weighing in around 180grams, Light is made from a lighter 95/5 blend of premium cotton jersey and elastane at 150grams.

So it’s perfect for whatever heat life throws your way.


This year we want to include more of you guys on the blog and our social media. Show the real guy who wears and loves underwear. We are doing this in two ways, the first is to share pictures of guys in their undies as Brief Distractions and on our social media. Second, we want you guys to tell how you fell in love with underwear and why you love what you love.

I think the blog is a lot more fun when we have you guys involved. Just fill out the form below and we will be in touch.

Next up UNB Readers is something I personally have sought for years – a form-fitting ruffle bikini. Now, you may be asking yourself, “That’s something strange to look for” to which I respond with “Not sure we can be friends” lol! Not really, but I do know like myself there are men out there who yearn for a good pair of ruffles to go to on those days you feel your sexy self or even the days you don’t. Fortunately for us all BodyAware answered the call and has made several entries into the ruffle market. Today’s review is dedicated specifically to the Camo Corkscrew brief, but be sure to look for other styles they offer for us ruffle lovers out there!

Please note All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by BodyAware.Rating: 9.6/10 (Average of the ratings below)

Daily Fit: 9/10
Sizing: 10/10
Construction: 10/10
Styling: 10/10
Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros:
Holds everything firmly in place
Breathable and lightweight
Perfect for letting the jeans or shorts hand a little low to show off!

Cons:
As expected, not to be worn on cold winter nights
If you don’t like giving a show, you will be checking your waistband all day
Doesn’t come in a thong

If you are looking to try out your first pair of ruffled underwear or have been a lifelong searcher (such as this writer) do yourself a favor and pick these up. They are comfortable for not only day to day but I guarantee whoever sees you in them will go bananas – including yourself so stay away from mirrors!

I am taking a deep dive look into what could become a hot button topic – ruffles. I know men of all kind read the blog, and I am sincerely hoping I get all kinds to read this particular review as I need help spreading the message. Ruffles are not just delicious chips or for women only; men need to take up the mantle and start requesting and wearing more ruffles! Personally I love the extra flair it gives underwear and on the days where a thong won’t work ruffles help make me feel just as good on the inside as they do outside. Much to my pleasure then when BodyAware re-released this pair as part of their Outlet store as I had the opportunity to pick them up!

I put my pair on as soon as they arrived and have cycled them in my weekly drawer since. These are fantastic for everyday lounging and moderate moving – don’t expect a super tight hold in the gym although if your a runner these might just be perfect. These were great to lounge around the house in and grab the morning paper. I definitely enjoyed wearing them on my trips to the store and out with friends. I did some heavier lifting and working out as well in them and found myself adjusting way more than I prefer.

For the amount of times I have worn and washed them the Camo Corkscrew Brief is holding up extremely well. I would firmly stand behind my ratings of 10 for both fabric and construction if questioned. Previous pairs that had ruffles either don’t fit quite right while falling apart almost immediately. Plus, with the added bonus of a muted mesh, you can give your special someone(s) a little peek without revealing the full show. BodyAware nailed it here and I am thrilled that I will have this pair for years to come!

BodyAware is consistent with their sizing from my experience with the company so you should be safe ordering your go to size. I wear a medium and these are just about what I expect with no complaints. That said, a forewarning to new ruffle wears – yes, there is supposed to be a touch of sag in the fabric but not enough to let everything move about like the back of a moving truck.

What more can be said at this point gang? Ruffles are the new hotness and us men need to get on it! Although BodyAware only lists Smalls in stock at the time of writing, they do have other ruffled offerings worth checking out. So don’t sit around missing all the fun – grab a pair and strut it for the world!

PAIR: BodyAware Camo Corkscrew Brief
COLORS: Desert Camo / Jungle Camo
FABRIC: 100% Polyester
SIZES: S
COST: $12

JUST ARRIVED: CELLBLOCK 13 ECHO MESH HARNESSES AND JOCK POUCHES

Great news! For all you guys dying to get your hands on the best-selling and long discontinued Cellblock 13 Sonic Harness and Jock Pouches, well, Cellblock 13 Echo Mesh is here and it’s a re-imagined Sonic. Still with a gravity defying jock pouch and matching harness but this version is made with a unique sturdy textured poly/spandex mesh fabric and it’s slightly cheaper in price. Here’s the details:

Cellblock 13 Echo Mesh Harness: Designed to show off your back and your chest. Wear it with the matching Cellblock 13 Echo Mesh Jock Pouch, any other CB13 jock with D-rings or or simply hook it up to your belt loops of your favorite pair of jeans. It Consists of a series of one and half inch wide straps in mesh with stretchy end pieces for a perfect fit. The straps are made with the echo mesh fabric and edged with black piping for visual effect.

In back, criss-cross straps run between your shoulder blades all joined by a large black metal ring. Straps run from the back ring, both over the shoulders and under the armpits to join up with two more rings . Finally, one inch straps run from the armpit rings down your body looping around to two black metal swivel hooks and snap back unto itself. Between the natural stretch of the end pieces and the three sizing snaps on each front strap you can be assured a perfect fit.

Cellblock 13 Echo Mesh Jock Pouch: With a formed contoured pouch and made with the stunning textured mesh. It’s minimal and potentially revealing. Piping not only adds a visual punch but ends up highlighting and drawing all eyes to your bulge.

Defying gravity: Although this “jock” has leg straps, there’s no waistband to keep it all secure but don’t worry, just attach the Cellblock 13 Echo Mesh Harness to keep it from falling down around your ankles (unless of course that’s what you want). The leg straps are one inch wide and made of a heavy duty elastic in black with repeating Cellblock 13 woven into it. Both straps are split by two black metal rings which not only look good but provide a place to hook up a harnesses’ swivel snap hooks.

Today is Fetish Friday, a day we set up to celebrate all things fetishwear. Fetish wear means something different for each guy. The purpose is to find something that is fun, out of the box and super sexy to wear. Basically, let you be you and enjoy gear.

Bodyaware is no stranger to fetishwear. They have always pushed the boundaries on underwear and it has paid off for them. They were one of the early ones to include satin, lace, and nontraditional colors in their underwear. Their latest pair is the Pleather V string.

Here is what Bodyaware says about the pair.

Simple, sleek and sexy V-string made from a soft and stretchy pleather.  With a wide brushed waistband and a shaped pouch with a center seam that sculpts and holds everything together in comfort.  Tantalizing v-string back

This is also one of the pairs that are now available in 2XL. Just recently Bodyaware added the side on many of their pairs. 2XL covers waist sizes 40-42. It’s great to see brands include larger sizes.

PAIR: Bodyaware Pleather V-String
FABRIC: 55%polyurethane/30%nylon/15%spandex
COLOR: Black
SIZES: Small – 2XL
COST: $22.00

The volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands, are the setting for VULCANO, the new swimwear release of ES Collection for 2020. Landscapes combined with reddish tones and black basalt rock, the island offers a unique natural place where the fire of the Earth meets the Atlantic Ocean. The land of volcanoes and black sand beaches promises a unique collection.

Our creative director, Carmen Monforte, was inspired by the natural beauty of our planet earth, avoiding stereotypes and accessories that throw us off our natural order. The volcanic beauty reminds us of the palette of warm colours, combined with reflections which give us metallic touches, making reference to the origin of the basic elements of our planet. The sun, with its power, reminds us of the absolute dependence we have on its energy. In a world where the environment is under a constant threat, the collection is a wake-up call to maintain a sustainable common path between fashion and the environment. This collection merges the combination of R&D where comfort and sensitivity for aesthetics prevail.

Welcome UNB Readers to my first review! Before I get started I want to encourage you all to provide any feedback you may have about my review. I want to make sure I am capturing what you guys want to know more about so if I miss anything don’t hesitate to leave me a comment! Onto the good stuff now!

UNB Tim knows my weak spots and sent me the link to the N2N Raider Singlet awhile back. I am working on a seperate piece to dive into my love of bodysuits/one pieces, but just know the obsession is real. Anyways, once I saw it, I immediately ordered it due to the nature of N2N products going quick. And boy howdy I sure am glad I did! Keep reading to find out why…

Rating: 9.2/10 (Average of the ratings below)

Daily Fit: 9/10
Sizing: 10/10
Construction: 10/10
Styling: 10/10
Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros:
Truly comfortable and unless you are wearing nothing else, you will forget it is even on!
Super soft nylon feels AMAZING against your body all day long
Mesh material breathes great during workouts and will get you noticed

Cons:
Bathroom breaks can be tricky
N2N products sell out fast
Too tight in some areas

I would highly recommend this pair (available only on the secondhand market now) but more broadly I would recommend giving N2N bodysuits a try in general. You definitely get what you pay for and in the long run I am seeing the durability outlast many of the cheaper pairs I have bought.

Specifically for the Raider Singlet, this bad boy is hot as all get out and no matter your size or cut preference, if you want a brilliant all-in-one look no further! Going from warm undergear when I am shoveling the driveway to only outfit I need when I work out; it is as versatile as it is sexy!

Introduction Being my first review – and my first recommended pair from UNB Tim – I was both apprehensive but nonetheless thrilled to get my hands wet! I classify singlets in the bodysuit family, so the style was a no-brainer for me. In terms of N2N overall, I have a few of their swimsuits but overall I haven’t delved much into the brand. I have loved the singlets and bodysuits they put out I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much – I mean how good could they be? My swimsuits from them are fantastic so it is nothing about quality or service at all. Quite the opposite in fact; it truly was me trying to justify the cost. Well, I am here to tell you to save your pennies because they aren’t charging enough.

For this review, and all others, I am a firm believer of putting each pair through its paces. From experience, it is one thing wearing it to bed but something else entirely to go about your day-to-day. I am a fairly active individual and would comfortably say that almost anyone could wear this on a daily basis. From grocery shopping to helping a friend move, it was a universal pair that I often found myself going for but it was already in the wash. What was a bonus is that if you get hot during whatever activity – you can easily wear this with shorts/pants and be totally comfortable.

N2N is no slouch when it comes to the quality of their products and the Raider Singlet continues that notion for me. I have had this now for about a couple of months and after repeated washings and wearings it still looks and feels brand new. The only true critique I have is that the elastic around the legs is firm so allow yourself extra time for the bathroom. That said, it tends to be a common issue depending on the type of singlet so I can’t fault them too much.

Being 6’2” has its goods and bads, and I want to let everyone know that with height comes the battle of size. I am a thinner guy and normally wear mediums in my underwear, but with bodysuits/singlets I have to go up a size otherwise bye-bye shoulders! I find mostly that the height stretches suits out enough to work but every now and then I notice extra fabric in places it shouldn’t be. This was the goldilocks however – no matter what position I bent myself into or stretch I did, this sucker held on in all the right places!

Needless to say, I fear anytime UNB Tim now recommends something as I know without a doubt it will be something I absolutely, positively, 100% must have and cannot live without! Just kidding, I love getting those messages, although maybe not my bank account… If you are able to find the Raider singlet do not hesitate to scoop it up for its flexibility and feel. It truly is a part of my go-to drawer now and have I said how good it makes you look wearing it yet?

PAIR: (N2N Raider Singlet)
COLORS: (Navy Blue)
FABRIC: (83% Nylon/17% Spandex)
SIZES: (S-M-L)
