One brand that I really miss at shows is N2N Bodywear. I would always go out to dinner/drink or something with the guys. They were one of my favorites to hang out with
A brand we have seen several times and still is at the show is 2EROS. We have seen quite a few of their collections over the years. They always make some of the best swimwear and underwear. This year we had their model Mark on the video.
Junk Underjeans has had a few different models over the years. One, in particular, was this one. The muscle stud that wasn’t afraid to rock a thong at the show. This was 2012 and they weren’t at the last show. We will see if
We asked you guys about what you wear to the gym in spandex and swim briefs. We had a great turn out and here is what you guys like to wear and sometimes want to wear.
We asked what you guys wear to the gym. I will say that I was expecting that briefs and thongs would be popular but Jockstraps took the top spot. Guys were only allowed to choose one answer so this is good news but shocking news to me.
This is more of what I expected the first answer to be. The briefs are top and then jocks and thongs. In this question, you guys could answer which you wore to the gym.
I was curious as to what gear you wear to the gym. Most guys don’t wear spandex to the gym. But if they do it’s more runners/tights over other kinds of gear. Spandex is growing but not mainstream yet.
This made me smile. The majority of guys who answered wear swim briefs when they swim at the gym. More than double the second choice. Now we need to transfer these to the beach and pool!!!
I asked would you wear them if you don’t wear them? Swim briefs and spandex that is. One thing we have to change is that most guys want to wear swim briefs and spandex but don’t feel comfy. I hope we can change that over the next year.
If you want to share your gear story let us know!
Good Boy Gone Bad August 2013 from UNB Blog on Vimeo.
Another brand we did videos with often was Good Boy Gone Bad. We did three videos that feature Marko Lebeau. We initially met them at Curve but most of the other years we met with them in a suite. GBGB is one brand that
One of the first times we attended Curve we got the chance to meet Stud Underwear. This first show I met so many people I still keep in touch with today. I wish we had more shows like this!!
As we enter our 10th year I’m looking at the way we do things and looking for a few good men. Actually some specific good men who love underwear and love to write about their underwear passion. We are looking for a workout guy, college guy, professional (suit & tie) guy and a beefy guy. Regardless of your type we want a guy who’s passionate about underwear, open to try new things, social media savvy, great communicator, and talk underwear with other guys on the site.
The Workout Guy
We are looking for a guy who works out 3+ times a week. You love underwear as much as you love underwear as much as the gym. Your gym gear is all about supporting your work out. However outside of the gym you still wear awesome undies. It could be different or similar brands.
- You want to share the best underwear for the gym.
- Specific underwear for different activities (running, biking, cross fit and more)
- If you have different underwear tastes for work and out of the gym, why you like it.
- Report on issues and trends with working out and underwear.
- Including gym gear such as runners, tights and spandex gear
- Be open to all kinds of swimwear, including swim briefs
- Work as part of a team
The College Guy
We are looking for a guy 18-25 who’s a college student or recent grad. You love underwear but due to your budget you don’t get a lot of pairs. Your wish list is larger than your underwear collection. You want to branch out and share your exploration of underwear as you try new styles and brands.
- Be a young guy starting his underwear journey
- Willing to try any style and brand and see how you like it.
- Discuss how you are growing your underwear collection
- What issues younger guys are facing in underwear
- Be open to all kinds of swimwear, including swim briefs
- Learn from other guys on the site
The Suit & Tie Guy
You are a professional guy that wears a suit to work every day. You take pride in your appearance and think your underwear should match that feeling. You don’t have to be a classic lover but think picking a pair of underwear is as important as picking your time. You want to share your advice for other professional guys
- You are a lawyer, C-suite, architect, or CPA and suited every day
- Talk about underwear for work – Classic or fun pairs and when you wear them
- Mix in talk about socks as well since they are integral to suit
- Work as part of a team
The Beefy Guy
Underwear is for the gym guy and the ones with 32 waist. NOT, underwear is for everyone. Guys of all sizes should be able to get underwear that makes them feel super sexy. Bigger guys are becoming a new norm in the fashion world. Beefy guys have a bit more problems finding undies from design, cut and sizing .
- Be over 36 inch waist
- You could have been smaller or always the same size
- Share the struggles of being a bigger guy and not finding underwear in your size or a style you want.
- Be open to all kinds of swimwear, including swim briefs
- Work as part of a team
All guys should have the following qualities:
- A love of underwear and all styles (especially Bikinis, briefs, and boxer briefs)
- Be computer savy and familiar word processing, Google docs and WordPress
- Willing to help promote UNB on social sites and be socially active about your love (on your own social networks or UNB’s)
- Be a self starter and come up with post ideas, but also work as part of a team to help in group posts, brainstorming and more

The Go Softwear AJ Team Singlet was bought for review. All opinions are that of the reviewer.
Rating: 9/10
- Fit: 8/10
- Sizing: 9/10
- Construction: 10/10
- Styling: 10/10
- Fabric: 8/10
Pros:
Singlet has a traditional cut/design
The blue and red are the perfect color combo
It’s made of a mesh that takes the design to a new sexy level
Cons:
The mesh may be too bold for some guys.
It doesn’t have the same give/stretch of spandex.
If tall it may be tight in the shoulders
Recommendation: If you love sexy singlets this one is for you. You can wear it under jeans for a night out or alone for a night in. The mesh isn’t as see through as I thought. It’s perfect for guys wanting to venture into the erotic world of singlets.
Go Softwear makes some awesome singlets. They have been one of my go-to brands for singlets. I have several from them and always super happy with them. The last one I reviewed was the AJ Team Wrestler is one of my new favorites. This made me super excited to try this one that was mesh.
Where do you wear a singlet? In my past its either out for a gear night or a night in for some, well fun. Since I wasn’t having either of those while wearing this one I just wore it around the house. Unlike the Wrestler singlet it was a little harder to get on. This is due to the fabric not being the nylon/spandex blend. It’s not as stretchy as the Wrestler. But it wasn’t super uncomfy. It just took me a few minutes to get on. After it was on only a few things reminded me the shoulder straps were tight. But it wasn’t too bad.
Go Softwear makes amazing singlets. They are always well designed and constructed. I have never had an issue with the quality of Go Softwear. They have always met or exceeded my expectations. This one is made out of an 88% Polyester 12% Spandex blend. I will say my favorite is a nylon spandex blend. But this one is just as good I think.
Sizing for singlets is always hard to tell. It’s not like underwear where you can focus on waist size. If you’re 6’4″ and 180 you may not be a medium. You have to take into account height. At first, it’s a guessing game, and you have to experiment. After a few times, you should see what size fits you. I got an XL, and it fits me well.
If you want a super fun singlet put the GO Softwear AJ Team Singlet in your line up. It’s fun and sexy without being over the top. Where can you wear it? I’ll leave that up to you and your imagination. That’s up to individuals to figure out where and when is best to wear a singlet.
PAIR: Go Softwear AJ Team Singlet
COLORS: Navy/Red or Olive/Yellow
FABRIC: 88% Polyester 12% Spandex blend
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $41.00
One brand that I always had fun during and after the show is N2N Bodywear. I
Yesterday we profiled our first trip to Magic/Curve in 2010. In August that
Tell our readers about you: Jockstrap Junkie just living here in the Great Lakes area and I’m a mid-forties bi-guy working in marketing of an automotive supply chain company. I would say most people wouldn’t think of me as an underwear addict, as I’m usually talking about lifting, throwing heavy objects in Scottish Heavy Athletics competitions, horses, and you can’t be in the Great Lakes area and not like Euchre. Side note, when throwing in Scottish games, the naughty bits are covered, otherwise it’s regimental under the kilt and the boys swing free. Forgot to mention, I like jockstraps.
When did you first discover underwear? The more I think back, I remember looking at my brother’s Sports Illustrated after he was done. Not only did I like reading about the sports, but I also liked the Jockey underwear ads. This would’ve been the era that Bart Conner and Jim Palmer were the main models for Jockey in the late 80s and early 90s. This was also when I would make sure to wander thru the men’s underwear section of department stores looking at the different styles of the day, and the pictures, too. I also liked it when the JC Penney and Sears catalogs would come out.
What was the first pair of good underwear you bought? What made you buy that pair? I truly hated tightey whiteys as they had a tendency to pinch, bind, and wedge themselves. So, I finally got the nerve to try Jockey’s Elance® bikini briefs. There were a few other guys wearing bikini and low-rise briefs, so it wasn’t that big of a deal in the locker room. I was a lot more comfortable in the bikini briefs than those old Hanes tightey whities.
How did this first pair influence your journey into the world of men’s underwear? After high school and moving into my own place, my underwear journey started to expand quickly. Especially, when I went to the newsstand and found the Undergear catalog. During my early 20s, I tried a bit of everything from thongs to boxers, all thanks to Undergear.
What are your current favorite styles? What style do you wear most? Today, I’m mostly a jockstrap guy; however, I do occasionally like to wear boxers, thongs, or boxer briefs. Yup, that’s right, boxers are still in my collection.
Most of the time, I choose my underwear for what I’m going to be doing. If I’m going to the gym, it’s mostly a jockstrap but occasionally a thong. For the days I’m going to be outside working in the spring or fall, it’s usually boxers. If the situation requires a lot of sitting, either a jock or my trusty Under Armour BoxerJock boxer briefs. And for those date nights, usually a jockstrap.
What are some of your favorite pairs in your underwear drawer? Since my collection is pretty large, I’ll just share a few favorites. Andrew Christian Almost Naked jockstrap, C-IN2 C-Theory & Tackle jockstraps, AussieBum WonderJock jockstrap, and Pump Cruise jock.
Are you open to friends or partners about your love of underwear? If you have a partner do they encourage your love of underwear? I have a couple of buddies who have seen the collection and they have collections of their own; otherwise, underwear doesn’t come up in conversation. When it comes to partners, some are ok, others shake their head, and I’ve had to use the comment “you collect shoes, I’ll collect jocks.”
Has wearing great underwear boosted your confidence? Definitely a confidence booster. Who wants to be the guy who is trying to un-bunch their underwear? Underwear is functional and sexy at the same time. I think it’s fun when in the foreplay stages of making whoopie to see the reaction of the other person when I drop trou when I’m wearing a neon colored jockstrap. Life is too short for life to be dull. It’s never been a deal breaker, and I even enjoy a bit of laughter.Where can our readers find you on social media? If you want to see more of my jockstrap journey, you can follow me on Twitter @the_Jockstrap or on Reddit u/the_Jockstrap.
UNB Goes to Curve from UNB Blog on Vimeo.
In 2010 was the first time I went to Curve. At this time in 2010, more than half the brands of men’s underwear went to Curve. Then in around 2014 the two shows joined together and Curve still happens but is now women’s wear.
The very first Magic/Curve we went to was in 2010. We got to sit down with many brands such as Go Softwear. This was one of the very first pics we took at the event.
Photographer Lucas Murnaghan has a new exhibition and book coming out. I hope many of you out there are familiar with Lucas’ work, and we have interviewed him on UNB. If you aren’t, he’s a photographer best known for his underwater photography.
The book is:
Beneath the Surface is Lucas Murnaghan’s photo book debut and is the culmination of two years of underwater exploration. With nearly 100 pages, the book includes a foreword by Alan Cumming, preface by the author, personal responses by collaborators and 70 curated images. Each limited edition 11″ x 9″ hardcover Smyth
sewn bound book is series marked and signed by the artist. This special pre-sale offer is limited to the first 100 books of the first edition.
When I bought mine on Sunday there were 19 of the first 100 left. If you want a book, you better get one ASAP. The book is $75 Canadian and is only available at Surf The Greats. Head over before it’s way too late.
It’s important to support photographers, models
Tonight I leave to go to Magic/Project. Being it’s almost 10 years in going I thought while I am gone it would be fun to look back on some of our trips to Las Vegas. Unlike these videos not as many brands go and even fewer models. That is why we haven’t had many

The temperature here is cold by Dallas standards. However, that hasn’t prevented Texans from shopping at the area’s top underwear retailer, Skivvies, in preparation for Valentine’s Day. Below are three of the locals’ top choices in anticipation of love’s favorite holiday.
PrimeMan Hipster Brief
Australian manufacturer Obviously’s newest collection finally incorporates stripes! Locals are snapping up pairs faster than Godiva chocolate truffles disappear at a Weight Watchers meeting.
Composed of a soft, four-way stretch blend of MicroModal and Lycra, the PrimeMan Hipster Brief (pictured in red/navy/white) retails for $32. The yarn-dyed stripes will never bleed, run, or fade if one follows the garment’s care instructions.
The brief incorporates Obviously’s AnatoMAX anatomical pouch feature, which provides natural body positioning and virtually eliminates the need for readjusting. Garment care instructions are printed inside the waistband to eliminate the itching and scratching associated with sewn-on labels.
PrimeMan Jock
Jockstraps are selling well in Big D, and enthusiasts also turn to Obviously for choosing a ’strap in red. The PrimeMan Jockstrap is #1 in Dallas.
Engineered to provide freedom of movement for active guys, this jock sits low on the hips and features the AnatoMAX pouch. The deep navy leg straps are a perfect 20 millimeters wide.
The waistband is shorter, which makes this garment perfect to wear under your favorite low-rise jeans. The PrimeMan jock retails for $25.
Unico Trunk
For those Texans wanting something festive for Valentine’s Day – but in a slightly less risqué silhouette – Unico’s “short boxer” perfectly fits the bill.
A contoured pouch provides excellent support. An M.C. Escher-eque square pattern (shown in steel-grey/blue/red) provides unique visual interest to this more traditional cut of underwear. And the fabric has an unbelievably soft hand that invites touching by anyone lucky enough to see it up close. It retails for $32.
Skivvies has Dallasites covered, whether they’re looking for a trunk, a brief, a jock, or something even more daring this coming Valentine’s Day.
Many thanks to Skivvies owners & staff to opening their doors to UNB.

It’s becoming one of the biggest underwear holidays of the year. Valentine’s Day is when it’s ok for the world to wear super sexy undies and get away with it. For the majority of people out there its a one-day thing, but for all of us at UNB and reading it’s a 365 Day occurrence. We wear sexy undies whenever the mood strikes us.
What is sexy to you?
Sexy is in the eye of the beholder. One guy may love a Joe Snyder Lace thong, whereas, another may think a classic black brief from CK is super sexy. Which one is right? They both are! I think you should wear whatever you feel sexy in without judgment. UNB is an open place for every guy to express their love of underwear.
What is sexy to your partner?
Valentine’s Day is one day that you take your partner into account as well. Most days, I think readers of UNB, just wear what they want to wear. We have a few readers who let their partners pick out their undies. But those seem to be rare. Most have partners who aren’t into it as much as they are, but no matter how uninterested partners are, there is something they love seeing you in. It’s time to give them what they want. And make a great night of it!
Be who you are, with out shame!
We profile everything here on UNB. It’s about all underwear, well until we get a boxer brief guy (why are they so hard to find). One person that always makes me smile on Instagram is Joe Spaceman (@sixfootfiveguy). He’s big on pink and wearing thongs and gear that is pink. He’s living his best gear life. We all need to find what makes us happy and rock it. To hell with what others say. One more thing about Joe is he looks great in his pink thongs too!
Be who you are on Valentine’s Day! Rock what you want to rock and then rock your

One brand that always has amazing pics and amazing underwear is Modus Vivendi. This picture features the Festive line.
I Love N2N Bodywear gear! Andrew really knows how to make something that is super sexy but is also very comfortable. All the designs they create show off a guys body. Sometimes it can do it a little too well, but for most readers of UNB that’s not a problem.
The Superstar singlet was one I was going to review on UNB but before I really got to wear it for a review it was sold out! So instead of reviewing a singlet that you guys can’t get (which sucks cause this one is amazing). I’d write up why N2N Singlets are great!!
This pair really is super hot. The colors and the way they are made really are sexy to me. It’s something new and different in the market. I think he designs these so you will look great and feel sexy. You can wear them to wrestle in but you can wear them for any occasion including private wrestling.
To me, singlets are all about fun. When I wear them I fell super sexy with the tight spandex clinging to me all over. Some guys like the singlet pictured above and others love the ones with amazing pouches that are more for
Plus, when you put on an N2N Bodywear singlet, they are very well made. I have too many to count, and as long as you take care of them, they will last a long time.
The one thing about the last year with N2N Bodywear is there isn’t a 2019 line it’s smaller collections put out through the year. If you don’t order close to release you
N2N Bodywear makes a great starter singlet. They aren’t too expensive and fit great. Go check them out if you are in the market for a singlet.
