Looking for something fun and sheer? May we suggest the Bruno Singlet from Go Softwear, Hard Core collection. It’s almost 100% mesh, gotta keep something hidden!
We are getting in prime underwear season. It’s time to get some deals for yourself before the holidays kick in, we have a pre Thanksgiving sale that has all of your favorites on sale! Check out the UNB Store.
Hello UNB Crew!
I am very excited to be here among the UNB family (and to finally receive an outlet for all the pent up conversations I’ve been dying to have about underwear lol). I hope you enjoy my first post, which is all about empowerment and the amazing effect underwear can have. Together, we will take a journey that will make you laugh, cry, and at times experience a strong feeling to purchase a new pair of undies via UNB Store. And you are highly encouraged to do so. Onwards now!
Two weeks ago I was catching up with a good friend of my husband and I through text. He was at work and during our chat, he sent a random message complaining about how his boxers were bunching up and it kept happening all day. I quickly shot back he’s one step away from a thong so he might as well just start wearing them. After he sent me a laughing gif he followed up with something through our light-hearted exchange, which has really stuck with me. Summarizing on his behalf (he’s detailed lol), he said no one would benefit from him wearing a thong and besides, he’s not in good enough shape to wear one anyway.
I was really taken aback because, while my friend has had a difficult time coming to terms with himself, I know that any guy (or girl) would be thrilled and blessed to have him as a significant other. Sure, he isn’t built like a gym rat or 90s model, but he is gifted in other areas – both physically and mentally. He truly has a ton to offer and gives so much of himself to his community. I asked him why he thinks he couldn’t pull it off, thinking maybe someone tore him down or something happened, but nope. He was adamant that no one had ever made fun of him for looks or appearances; his inhibition was the sole product of self-doubt.
He only recently started opening up more and exploring his identity which I am thrilled for him to be doing. We all know how becoming yourself, and more importantly being honest with yourself, is to the human journey. What smacks my empathy muscle head-on is the fact that this journey should be about the possibilities and exploration, not standing on the edge of the pool wanting so badly to jump in but stopping because you think the water won’t like you. I know he so badly wants to try one too with how much he likes to talk underwear with me, specifically my pairs (it’s all he asks about lol), but won’t let himself because of what he sees in the mirror. Here is a guy that after 35 years of not letting himself be him, is finally opening up and looking for who he truly is. And now, because of his inner perception and a mirror, won’t put on a cut of underwear that isn’t even seen by anyone.
I had a troubled time coming to terms with my own sexuality. It’s a long road that resembles something like a bowl of spaghetti with its seemingly endless turns and twists. It’s funny looking back as underwear was truly the doorway that helped me get there eventually. But one of those twists in life I ended up taking resulted in me deciding to live my life for me and for nobody else. I knew that I ended up where I was because I was letting my perception of others drive what I did and didn’t do. No more – I decided after 23 years it was time to do me. And I haven’t looked back since.
I’m happy to report while he still hasn’t taken the dive yet, he was able to own the fact that it was a personal issue and that no one had in fact ever told him anything to make him think otherwise. I’m still pushing him to take the dive because I know he’d look amazing in one, but more importantly, I know that when I started wearing thongs I started to love myself. And I want that for him. And I want that for all of you. I have come to appreciate in my short 28 years on this world that time is fleeting. Why waste another day thinking you aren’t good enough? I challenge everyone to instead embrace you and everything you are. Call it a personal belief, but fellas I think there is plenty of negativity in the world that we face daily. Let’s not carry that inside us though. Let’s be the start of the change that embraces our true selves and others as well. Next time you’re perusing the UNB Store or the local shelves and skip over something because you think “I couldn’t pull that off” go back and take a second look. Unless it’s a true sizing problem of course, really think about what’s stopping you. Love you for who you are and celebrate that in the best way possible – which of course is in that skimpy pair of underwear you are looking at!

C-IN2 Launches New Colors In Tackle Collection – Watch Our Model Exercise & Seize The Day In The Tackle Underwear
We love the pics from Jockstrap Central. The lastest set features Cellblock 13 new collection of jocks and harnesses deserves a sexy new model. Meet Evan! He’s Jockstrap Central’s latest discovery and he’s putting the new CB13 Bandit gear through it’s paces. Originally from Bulgaria and now living in Toronto. He’s an aspiring actor who can now put modeling on his resume as I can vouch for him that he’s a natural.
Bandit is a sexy, entry-level fetish collection that feel good and looks great.
Here are 10 guys we love on Instagram, for various reasons. Each of these guys influences guys have been chosen because I follow them and love their pics and their attitudes.
ScruffyGearBlog
Andy is amazing! He has become a friend and part of the UNB Family. He’s had his blog for a few years, while he’s a big proponent of thongs, he wears a little of everything. A big reason he’s on here is his amazing attitude.
UndiesGeek85
Erik, aka UndiesGeek85, even without being on the UNB Podcast would have made this list. He’s two things that go great together, kinky and geeky. He loves thongs but you will see him in some lace every now and then too. His Profile is private, so go see him on IG!
UndiesCub
Everyone should wear undies, Stevie, aka UndiesCub shows that, this cub is not afraid to show himself in thongs, bikinis or swim briefs. He’s a big proponent of body positivity. If you like beefy boys in undies, he’s your guy. UndiesCub is a super sweet guy and one of my favorite IG people ever.
Straight.man.gay.undies
Straight Man Gay Undies has a really unique profile. As you can see people assume he’s straight but he wears gay undies. He usually sports thongs and bikinis. He’s one “bro” who when you see him dressed for work, you’d never guess what small undies he’s rocking under them.
PapaBear.Jim
Should you stop wearing amazing undies? NO, PapaBear.Jim is an Instagramer that looks amazing and is a “mature” guy. Not meaning old but when you think underwear Instagrammers you think 20’s. He’s redefining the underwear Instagrammer and shows age is not an obstacle.
SixfootFiveGuy
Joe, aka SixFootFiveGuy, is a guy to follow if you like thongs and working out! I have known Joe for several years and he’s just an all around great guy. A lot of times you meet people in person and they can be full of themselves, Joe was laid back and just a fun guy. He’s all about thongs! He wears them to the gym, Halloween costumes and more!
Ardjg
Andrew, or Ardjg, is a recent favorite of mine. One he looks amazing in underwear and spandex gear! But second, he has fun with his pictures. They aren’t the regular serious-faced selfies. He really has fun with his pics, sticks his tongue out and just different things. Plus, he has great taste in undies!
JockBloke
Have you ever wanted to take a peek inside of a straight curious bro’s underwear drawer? Well, JockBloke is the guy for you. That alone could have put him on the list, but he is always posting stories and asking questions of followers. Plus, he’s a very honest guy as well. I can tell that IG is a safe space for him and he takes advantage of it! In our communication back and forth, he’s a really great guy. And he’s the only guy on the list who doesn’t show his face.
BeauBriefs
Beau Briefs is a former UNB guy! He has left the site but gone on to do incredible things in his home town of Seattle. He’s really taken to doing Boylesque. Which is the male version of Burlesque. This passion also incorporates his love of amazing undies. Every time I open IG, he’s either doing a new show or planning a new show.
Jer_Bear_15
Jer_bear_15 is on this list because to me he’s just a normal guy. We need more normal guys posting and talking about underwear. As he says in the bio, he’s just sharing his love of undies. Plus, he loves skimpy undies as well! He’s a bit of a show-off and takes undies pics in many fun locations.
I could do a list of 50 influencers that I love on IG, but these 10 sticks out the most to me. If you noticed the profile bio is the picture, it’s because their profiles are private. I don’t share pics unless I have permission. Go follow them all and enjoy the undies.
This week it’s time for the Baskit $12 Tuesday. This week the pair is the Baskit Active Brief. Which is an amazing pair at an even more amazing price. Here is what Baskit says about the line:
Inspired by traditional boxing shorts men have been sparring in down at the corner boxing gym since… well, forever… this underwear drawer contender goes the distance with heavyweight stretch and relentless comfort.
Below the belt, you’ll like the feel of our ball-cuddling-soft fabric made of 90% modal (a champion fabric derived from sustainable beechwood) and 10% premium elastane as you duck and dive through your daily spar with life.
This pair is only on sale on the Baskit site till Midnight.
One brand that has some amazing new pairs is Clever Moda! The new limited edition collection is a lot of fun. Shop all the collections at the UNB Store.
Who loves a thong? According to our reader survey, a lot of you guys do!! One thong that I saw pop up on social media is the Slick It Up Bubblekini thong. Slick It Up say it’s the world’s most comfortable thong in the world!
The Bubblekini comes in three different colors, Baby Blue, Bae Watch (red), and Snozberry (pink). Three fun names for fun thongs. One thing that you should know about this, and for many of you this is a selling feature, the pouch of the Bubblekini is unlined.
Slick it Up makes some very fun and sexy gear. Some of their gear is on the expensive side, but this thong is priced at $22, which isn’t bad for a pair of undies.
If you love thongs check out this pair! I think it may be a new favorite. Shope this and other pairs on the Slick It Up site.

I have a saying, warmth knows no fashion. Meaning that I’d rather be warm than worry about fashion. However, that is changing! The new leggings from Ergowear turn long johns from simply something you wear to keep warm to something super fun and sexy.
Ergowear just released the new XV leggings. The best thing is that it comes in two of their awesome pouch designs. Those pouches are the Max and Feel. Each pouch is different. The Max is made for the guy who wants more support. The Feel is designed for a more natural fit.
The leggings are made out of an 89% Polyamide 11% Elastane blend. the Smooth microfiber provides support and comfort exactly where needed. The colors are Silver, Space Gray, and Black.
These are perfect to wear under your clothes for cold winter days when you have to be out and about. They could also be worn for hanging out around the house. Could you wear them on their own? You could but, you may show off more than you expect!

Two of our favorite Twitter guys are Sixfootfiveguy & Artiepup. They show you in this post gym pic, you can work out in thongs. In fact Artie said the thong he is wearing he got from the UNB Store.
Male Power introduces something scintillating and ventilating, the new Airotica Mesh collection.
Men like their undergarments cool and breathable, and nothing could be more comfortable than this stretch mesh fabric with eyelet perforations throughout. Very stylish yet light and airy, it perfectly fuses fashion and function.
Two commingling and interchangeable colors, black and purple, combine with a stylish, nylon spandex trim that accents the legs, pouch and rear. Three body styles are available, Enhancer Short, Enhancer Thong and the new Butt Out Bikini. All offer a bulge boosting pouch for plenty of lift and support. Size choices include S, M, L & XL.
Airotica Mesh makes hot and heavy nights a breeze.

Go shop the reopened Marek + Richard site! Earlier this month when Tornados struck Dallas, the warehouse and home of the guys was hit and destroyed. They finally reopened their site on Thursday. Go shop and help the guys rebuild this amazing and fun brand.
As you guys know I’m a huge fan of singlets. It’s always been a big love of mine for many years. One company that makes awesome singlets is LED Queens, but they don’t make them very often. Their newest singlet is the SuperNature singlet.
I LOVE this singlet due to the design. I’m a big fan of bold and bright colors. LED Queens has taken their designs of their runners and put them on a singlet. Which is amazing. This is one of the best-designed singlets of the year, in my opinion.
Here is what LED Queens has to say about the new singlet:
One of the almost weekly requests I get as a designer for LED Queens is for wrestling singlets; in fact, they were one of my first products I ever designed for my How to Kill a Superhero books. After six months of development I’m bringing them to you stronger, sleeker, and better than ever as an official LED Queens release. I’ve worked long and hard to get you these singlets because I knew you wanted them!
These new singlets are special to me, because the look is inspired directly from the science fiction world of my books, with an added dash of my love of electronic music. This unique combination of gradients and futuristic chevrons is available only through LED Queens.
Get yours now! It’s out and the best part is that the sizing goes to XXX-Large!
PAIR: LED Queens SuperNature Singlet
COLORS: Print as shown
FABRIC: 80% Polyamid/Nylon, 20% Elastane/Spandex
SIZES: Small – XXX-Large
COST: $60.00
When UNB started in 2008, no one was doing long johns. They were still the traditional waffle fabric that was 100% functional. About 8 years ago, companies started to explore the long john. Now instead of being warm without support, we are getting stylish long johns that are fashionable and functional.
N2N Bodywear has had many different versions of the long johns over the years. One of my favorites has been the Campfire line. The new Pouch tight would be amazing long johns for the season.
The pair has the amazing Nhance pouch. This is N2N’s pouch that I love the most. It gives you great support, which gives you a bit of a boost to your bulge, well they say that! This pouch never let’s me down and feels amazing throughout the day.
Lastly, you could wear these on their own, but I would wear them as long johns. But that’s just my opinion. Make sure you check this pair out.
PAIR: N2N Bodywear CC Pouch Tight
COLORS: Black
FABRIC: 90% cotton / 10% spandex
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $24.00
Today’s Brief Distraction is one from Andrew Christian. This is the Out & Proud Brief, Out & Proud Print as worn by model Ace Quinn. Check out all the new pairs this month from AC.
I love making videos. I have done it for many day jobs and have really grown over the last two years. If I had a quarter for every time I learned something and go “UGH that’s how I could make that UNB Video better.” It was part of my job at my last job before well, we parted ways.
I have been debating about what would make a great video series on UNB. Something different and fun. We have two issues, a place to film and boys to film. We always need models who want to do shoots and have fun on camera.
What would you guys want to see on UNB? I have some ideas and let me know your thoughts and if you have ideas:
- Trainer series – trainer in undies or gym gear
- More behind the scenes of shoots (yes we have more coming).
- Interview series – of people in the industry
- Fashion Show – a fashion show of men’s underwear/ swimwear done just for UNB.
- Real guys interviews – interview real guys about underwear
There are a ton of ideas but these seem to be the ones that keep coming to the top of my mind. If you have any ideas shoot them to us an email info at underwearnewsbriefs do com
Today is the TBT for 2015! I choose this video last week. This series we ran every week until it ended. Little did I know it was the same year as our brief distraction today. Max Emerson makes some amazing videos. These cracked me up and were great. I tried my hardest back during this time to interview him on the blog. I never got him, he liked several of our Tweets but never an interview. Check out this entire series.
Our Brief Distraction today is from November 1995. This is one of my personal favorite pics from PPU. This entire series was amazing. They need to do another shoot like this!!
