Up and Coming Model Interview – Jaye Sand

No Comments

I love bringing you guys up and coming models. One I have seen on Instagram a lot is Jaye Sand. He has an amazing look. I think we will see a lot more of him in the future. Here is our interview.

Why did you want to get into modeling?

That’s a good question. I never actually planned on going into modeling; it just sort of happened to me. I was contacted by a photographer out of the blue and asked if I wanted to model for him, so I did it and ended up really liking it. I decided to use it as a motivational tool to continue pushing myself to be better.

Why underwear/swimwear underwear/swimwear?

It’s a very liberating feeling being able to pose in only underwear/swimwear. I also find that people tend to be more interested in photos that show more skin. But, I imagine that’s not a very surprising revelation.

What do you think sets you apart from other models in the industry?

I love being able to help a photographer create art. Creating a piece that makes a viewer feel something is my goal going into any shoot, even if what the viewer feels is just the desire to buy the brand that I’m wearing. It’s great being able to work with a variety of photographers and having the capability to create images that wildly differ in both an emotional and creative aspect. I think this is what sets me apart from some other models in the industry. I think some models get too caught up in the ego or money that is sometimes involved in modeling.

Having had the pleasure of modeling so far with Blue Nectar Tequila, I’ve learned brand modeling is a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. I have worked with a variety of photographers, so I won’t bore the readers with a long list, but I will say that I really love working with the photographer Gordon Nebeker. It’s always a lot of fun working with him and I’m always happy with the results in the end.

Underwear has many styles from boxer briefs to thongs. Do you have any pairs you don’t want to wear on a shoot?

Thongs really don’t look good on me. They just are not pleasurable to wear. I guess I’m just not a thong enthusiast.

Are there any underwear/swimwear brands you’d love to work with? Why?

I’d love to work with Aronik. I really like the look of their swimwear. They are definitely my dream brand.

Which photographers would you love to work with on a project?

I’d love to work with Chris Davis, his photography brand is called specular. He has taken some really interesting images and it would be amazing to get the chance to work with him.

Outside of modeling and working out what do you do in your down time? What are your hobbies and interests?

I enjoy spending most of my time being active. My hobbies include: rock climbing, water skiing, swimming, hiking, anything that helps me disconnect. I also really want to try skydiving one day. I usually spend most of my time studying for classes though. Student life typically doesn’t leave that much free time.

Models can’t always eat great what is your favorite guilty pleasure in food?

Sometimes when I have that late-night craving I’ll order a whole large pizza and eat it myself. Highly recommend.

We are an underwear blog so what makes up your underwear drawer? (what percentage of briefs, boxer briefs, jocks, thongs do you have?

40% boxer briefs

30% briefs

15% trunks

10% jockstraps

5% boxers

0% thongs!

What is one word that describes you?

If you were stranded on a deserted island what is one thing you must have with you

Sunscreen- I think that one is pretty obvious

What is your favorite color

Light blue

What is a fact about you that would surprise our readers? (are you shy? Love disco? Know all the words to Star Wars?)

UNB What’s Hot in TX – Underwear – July 2018

No Comments

Considering the weather in the Lone Star State is hotter than Papa Bear’s porridge, we here at UNB thought y’all might be interested in what underwear is selling like hotcakes in Texas. A quick trip to Skivvies in Dallas (http://www.skivviesdallas.net) provided lots of information about which underwear is flying off the shelves.

Nasty Pig’s Jockstraps top the underwear shoppers’ lists in Big D, the local’s moniker for the City of Dallas. Texans can’t get enough of Nasty Pig’s Take Down Jock, especially the version in black with white piping. The Take Down retails for $29 at Skivvies. Other color options include blue/white and red/white. Texans are also picking up the coordinating Hook’d Up Sport Socks for $12 to complete the NP look.

Texans’ top second and third choices for new undergear also come from Nasty Pig. The Xposed Brief and the Xposed Jock, both in red with blue accents, rival each other in weekly sales stats. Both retail for $32 each. Skivvies’ store manager shared that the NP line of underwear has fast become a favorite of both gay and straight clientele.

Finally, honorable mention status goes to the 2018 ribbed briefs from Pump! Underwear. The navy has proven extremely popular; red and military green are also available. The pair retails for $31 at Skivvies.

Many thanks to the generous owners and staff at Skivvies for spending time with UNB. We talked and photographed – and shopped – for nearly two hours on a recent Monday. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on Skivvies’ website, they accept phone orders at 214-559-4955. A trip to their physical location at 4001 Cedar Springs Road in Dallas is also worth your time.

Go Classic with new brand Inizio

No Comments

I know we profile a lot of over the top and bright pairs. I personally still love the classics as well. One new brand that has come on the market is Inizio. It may have a strange name but they have some really great pairs! For you thong fans, you won’t find any here. They focus on boxer briefs and briefs. Well, heavy on the boxer briefs. Also, some longer pairs! So Boxer Brief fans rejoice, we have a post for you!

The color palette is on the conservative side. It consists of white, black, navy and dark greens. Its carried out in both solids and stripes. Everything you would expect from a classic line. Even the waistbands are classic. Most of them have the name in a matching or complementary color. Match that with a tag on the back. That’s all the branding on the pair.

One thing that may surprise you is they have some work out wear. The longer is made for the gym and can be worn alone or with shorts over (but we encourage you to wear them without shorts!). The dark colors are perfect for the gym. I wasn’t expecting that from this line but it’s a pleasant surprise.

If you want to see all this collection go to Candyman Fashion and check them out.

Brief Distraction featuring Real Guy

3 Comments

We have another real guy for you! This time it’s John

This photo does double duty for UNB; one, showing me comfortable in my own skin and two, taking your swim brief challenge.  We were on vacation over July 4th in the Outer Banks. I was the only one on the entire beach in a swim brief, but the in-laws didn’t care and I even got some positive comments from passersby.  I’m from Denver so any chance to get to a beach, I’m all over it.  I’m 48 years old and have loved underwear since my early teens.  My tastes have changed with the times and I’m always on the hunt for new styles and colors.

Underwear Review – Jockmail No Fly Brief

No Comments

Rating: 9.4/10

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

Pros:

  • Unusual yellow camouflage pattern
  • Pouch enhances your profile
  • Backside stayed put; no wedgies

Cons:

  • Fabric doesn’t breathe as well as other fabrics
  • Difficult to find

Osgon’s Recommendation: Buy!

During a recent trip to Skivvies in Dallas, Jockmail’s low rise “No Fly Brief” caught my eye hanging on a wall display. I’m always on the lookout for unusual patterns and unfamiliar brands. I loved this brief’s bright yellow camo pattern, and the Jockmail brand was completely unknown to me. $29+tax later, I was on my way home with something new to test for UNB’s readership.

My test for this pair involved a day of grocery shopping and puttering around the house. This brief proved to be exceptional.

The pouch provided ample, comfortable support, although it isn’t as generous (and the fabric isn’t quite as stretchy) as that found in an N2N Bodywear bikini. Nonetheless, I never felt too constricted or needed to readjust things upfront.

The brief provided perfect, all-over backside coverage. The black leg bands stayed in place without ever being too tight or too loose. Any time I needed to squat down, the fabric stretched appropriately without creeping up the back. In short, this brief’s fit fell within the “Goldlocks zone” of comfort.

The 1.75” black elastic waistband didn’t roll and stayed well below the bellybutton. One unique design feature is the pair’s tag: it’s sewn into the waistband along the right hip. The tag never felt scratchy or uncomfortable to me, but this location might be a turnoff to some.

This brief’s camouflage fabric is composed of 80% polyester and 20% spandex. This blend doesn’t “breathe” as well as a cotton-based fabric, and this brief might not provide comfortable long-term wear if you’re going to be out in extreme temperatures. Otherwise, it is extremely comfortable and supportive.

The brief sadly no longer available from Jockmail’s website (www.jockmail.co), but you might be able to find it in your local brick-and-mortar establishment. You can also contact our friends at Skivvies (www.skivviesdallas.com or 214-559-4955) and order a pair. (For items not available on Skivvies’ website, they will accept and process special requests over the phone.)

The brief comes in five colors: yellow (purchased), red, blue, green, & grey. Sizing includes medium (30” – 32”), large (32” – 34”), and extra-large (34” – 36”). Sizing proved accurate.

I was thrilled with this brief’s performance. I look forward to buying more underwear from Jockmail in the future!

Unleash your wild side with New PPU

No Comments


PPU has always been one brand that is always fun. They have never been one to stick to the plain and simple designs. Their designs have been over the top and always on the wild side. I wouldn’t say that they are a “fetish” brand. When I think fetish brand it’s more of the leather community and bondage. Maybe that’s just my own shallow definition. This now enters that world, lace and more. I think they have all fetish levels and likes covered in this.

Many pairs of this collection are 100% see-through mesh or cutouts. We can’t show you the full monty here but you can see it on a few sites. I”m not sure all will cover it. The mesh is black and mixed with harnesses. These pairs would definitely be for a bar night or a fun night out. Or a fun night in where you don’t go out for the weekend.

If that’s not your thing we have some more of the traditional PPU pair with cutouts and pouches that accent your manhood. Also, included in this new line is mesh. If memory serves me correct, and I bet it’s not. They haven’t done much with lace over the years. Not like Candyman and Pikante.

Overall this is a show-off collection. It’s about having fun and being with others who appreciate it. Check out this and all the PPU at the Candyman Fashion site. If you like the wild side of undies, you are going to love this line. As you can see by the pics here.

Brief Distraction featuring Real Guy – Construction guy Joe

3 Comments

34-year-old male
Live on the east coast
Construction worker
Thong wearer
5’11” 150lbs

I became interested in sexy underwear over 20 years ago when I saw Covington bikini briefs at Sears one day. I would mainly wear boxers when I knew I would be around females and kept my fetish to myself for a long time. But now after being married for 14 years, it’s wasn’t easy keeping to myself. My wife does not like the underwear I wear but understands and is ok with briefs. She doesn’t like the thongs or jockstraps at all. After being honest with her and explaining why I choose to wear these styles of underwear, she tolerates it. (She thinks that I wear gay underwear) so I continue to wear what I want when I want but also respect that she doesn’t like when I wear them so, I still wear lots of boxers to bed and lounge around the house. Happy wife, happy life right?

I do not do social media and do not ever post pictures of myself in underwear. I will continue to use this platform to do so. I mainly wear briefs to work and change into thongs when I get home. I change out of my construction clothes when I get home every day. Sometimes I wear thongs to work(always with my belt on tight!) Some of my favorite brands are Andrew Christian, Obviously, Pistol Pete, Big Boys Pants, and N2N. I have approximately 75 pairs. I am a Medium in almost all brands and a waistband is a must for me.

This pair in the picture is by Cover Male. Model CML006 g-string Black, size medium, enjoy!

What’s Hot in the UK – Lace Edition

No Comments

Alongside leopard spots and camouflage, lace has become a fashion perennial in men’s underwear. Every year or so there are headlines about lace becoming a new ‘thing’, but it’s here to stay – and has been for a while at Deadgoodundies.com in the UK. Male lingerie made its debut more than a decade ago (remember HOM’s 3001 collection?) yet true lace designs, rather than translucent tulle or mesh, are still considered more daring, outré and, for some, risky. Fearless Brits are consistent buyers of lacy undies, from micro strings to long leg boxer briefs and leggings, skin tight t-shirts to wickedly wonderful bodies. Good job DGU sends everything in plain parcels!

Express yourself in lace from European male lingerie specialists L’Homme Invisible who also create great devoré and tattoo effect men’s underwear.

L’Homme Invisible Ocean Life V Neck T-shirt £84

 

An early arrival for autumn is the French brand’s subtle take on lace – an ultra fine leaf effect fabric. Part of a botanical inspired collection from HOM.

HOM Autumn Trunk £32

 

If you love lace, Manstore from Germany is one of the go-to brands on DGU. Their Cheeky Body in azure or apricot with a strappy front and racer back earns the name for sure!

Manstore M766 Cheeky Body £57

 

Did we say daring? Joe Snyder’s designers are maestros when it comes to combining minimalism with maximum impact – and enhancement. Their latest Bulge offering comes in black or white lace, tulle or lots of solid colours.

Joe Snyder Thong Maxi Bulge 06 £27

 

Dip your toe into the lingerie experience with a Doreanse short that adds an opaque pouch to luscious lace. This look is also available as brief 1353 (£13) and longer leg boxer brief 1953 (£21).

Doreanse 1952 Lace Boxer £17

 

Yes, a LACE jockstrap. Quite something isn’t it? Joe Snyder’s limited edition comes in black or white and one size.

Joe Snyder Lacy Jockstrap 16 Ltd Edition £22

Review – Bum Chums Tool Belt Brief

No Comments
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This pair was furnished for review by Bum Chums. All opinions are that of the reviewer.

Ratings

  • Daily Fit – 7
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Materials – 7
  • Styling – 8
  • Daily Performance – 7
  • Overall – 7.8

PROS

  • unique design
  • nice pouch and bright colors available

CONS

  • seam in the back
  • mesh in front bunches up

 

Another round of Bum-Chums and I was curious to see how these felt since they were different than just about any other pair of briefs I own.  The bright orange color (Sol) stood out immediately, as did the mesh on the sides and back.  I’m always up for trying something new when it comes to undies and decided to go for it and wear these to work for the day.

The fabric of the pouch is 95% cotton and 5% Elastane so they were soft with a bit of stretch.  The mesh is 95% Polyamide and 5% Elastane.  The back is totally see-through so modesty is not what these are made for!  An interesting design feature – the mesh goes all the way around, even over the top of the pouch, creating a bit of a flap.  I’m guessing that’s supposed to be the “tool belt” design of these briefs.

Sizing seemed on par with other brands.  I’m a 32 at the moment and the medium was a good fit.

I love wearing a new, sexy pair of underwear and these accomplish that.  Mesh is fun and I like the orange pouch, which was nice and comfortable, with enough room for everything up front.  Where I ran into some trouble was the back.  Where the orange fabric comes up and meets the mesh, there is a rather large seam that is very noticeable.  I think maybe the two materials coming together creates a bit of an unsteady seam that is almost wavy if that makes sense.  The point is, about a third up the way up your butt, you can feel the stitching and the seam does not lay flat.  Not the end of the world but the feeling doesn’t get less noticeable – even after an 8 hour day!  I think it took away from the look, as well.  I would have preferred the entire back panel to be mesh and connect down between your legs.  Another issue that didn’t affect comfort, but style, is the mesh going across the front. It didn’t do much except bunch up a bit.

Overall, an interesting pair and I love that brands try new things.  Maybe some seam adjustments would help but I wouldn’t say these are in the everyday rotation – more for fun and showing off.

Pair: Bum Chums Toolbelt Sol
Color: Sol- Orange
Fabric: Orange – 95% Cotton-5% Elastane, Mesh – 95% Polyamide  5%  Elastane

Thongs are spanning all sexual orientations and ages. Many of you guys are going straight to the swim thong and skipping over the swim brief. It’s very interesting.

Marco Marco Nautical Goes Nautical

No Comments

Right now I LOVE flamingos. Many brands are also loving them and putting them on their underwear and swimwear. Marco Marco has taken the flamingo print to the next level with their new Nautical line. I hear many of you go, what’s the big deal? The new print is UV reactive! After a day of showing it off at the pool wear it to the club and show off your Blacklight colors.

The new Nautical comes in a brief, halfmoon brief, and a harness. You can wear the pieces together or separate. The harness can be worn for a night out at the club with jeans, shorts, or the Nautical line undies! They are all just super fun! The briefs, other than the club, can be worn under anything. I would admit I”d love to see a guy in a navy power suit wearing this pair under, and of course with a pink tie.

This line is probably one of my favorites from Marco Marco. Not just the flamingos but the colors. Blue, white and pink all go very well together. The print is very well designed. Let’s talk about the halfmoon brief. It has a halfmoon cut out at the top by the waistband. Then in the back, it has the flamingo fabric up the center of the back!

Check out the collection and also the swim briefs! Marco Marco makes some awesome gear, and we look forward to more.

Pair: Marco Marco Underwear Nautical Brief
Color: Print
Fabric: Poly Span with contrast Red Poly Span trim
Sizes: Small – X-Large
Price: $32.00
