Its all about undies. Do you wish you could share your undies love with your favorite blog? Well, here is your chance! Just kidding, but we are conducting our Annual reader survey. This helps us in many ways. First, it will help us develop content. Seeing what you guys like and don’t like. It even track them over time, which styles get popular and go out of style. A new addition is fetishwear. It’s something we want to cover more, but want to track you guys like best. We will continue to bring new trends and brands as well.
Next we share some of the data with brands to help them formulate promotions for you guys. We have had promotions in the past that we told the brand it won’t drive traffic. Now we have the evidence that it won’t move the needle. I know you guys LOVE sales! Lastly, we will share the info with you guys. It’s always fun to get a peek in another’s underwear drawer!
Take our survey below and if you’re on Mobile use the link rather than the embedded form. The Google Form has issues on mobile we have been told.

Here is the first of the Real Guys on UNB. jets83 submitted these pics. Here is a little about him.
- Location: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
- Stats: 34 years old. 5’10” 90kg . 36″ waist
I have enjoyed underwear for about 15 years. Cannot recall what attracted me to try something other than the standard briefs/trunks that were available here in Australia. I think it could have been seeing something on TV.
For a long time, I hid my underwear from everyone. Over the past 7 years, I have been more & more comfortable in my choices & not hid them as much. My partner has allowed me to be even more comfortable in my choice of underwear.
I wear thongs on most days of the weeks, jockstraps come in second.
I wear them as I find them comfortable & are also a way to feel sexy. A small way to show that I am comfortable in my own skin & the underwear the I wear.
I post pics of myself on a regular basis on my twitter which is @jets83
What would a Gregg Homme line be without some super fun pairs? By super fun pairs, I mean ones that take underwear and redesign them in a fun way. The Conquistador uses gold buttons and strings to create some pairs that you are used too. However, it’s got the sexiness factor turned up to 11.
I hear some of you saying, yeah the gold buttons are a nice accent. They are more than an accent, they are fully functional. Meaning you can unbutton them where ever they are. This could mean easy to put on or even easier to take off. Match that with the semi-sheer material and you have a super sexy line.
The line comes in a Jock, Thong, Brief and Boxer briefs. The only one missing is the string, but when you see the thong, you could say it’s a string! Each one of the designs given the Gregg Homme Conquistador twist. As you can see in the main pic the three buttons on each side can be removed. The jock, the straps button on the small waistband. The others have very similar design functions.
The only colors in this line are red or black. Which is perfect for the line. The red/black combo is my favorite. The pair just is set off with the black trim. It reminds me of some something ancient Roman or Greecian. A pair you could see an ancient warrior going into battle. Or maybe it’s me projecting the movie 300 in my mind.

If you are a long time reader of UNB, you know every year we do a reader survey. It’s usually in May but this year we are doing it in July! You maybe asking why are we doing a reader survey?
- Helps us make content you guys love reading
- Gives us data to show brands the success of our posts
- Helps us reach new brands with data and demographics of readers
- It gives you guys a look into other readers!
This year we have changed things up a bit. Instead of a long list of questions, we have broken them up to different pages. It’s just as long but the pages/sections will break things up. More questions are click a button rather than fill in a long or detailed response. After three to four years of data, we have the main choices in a lot of categories and you can still write things in the other section.
One thing to note is we are not getting any identifiable information. We are not collecting names, emails or phone numbers. So you can be 100% honest and no one will know who you are! I know many do not want to let the world know they love gear.
One question we are asking is if male or female. Our Google Analytics says that more women are reading the blog so we want to see how many will fill out the survey.
We will be sharing the results. Now that the survey is less interpretation, it will be able to be reported a lot sooner than previous years.

My career takes me all over, a great perk, because when the sun is out, I look to continue sparking the fire for Swim Thong Revolution. That’s what brings me here today to your screen as I share with you my adventures going coast to coast testing the waters, pun intended, of thong-ing in the sun.
This past weekend brought me to Seattle, a historically liberal city, whose exploding growth has brought people of all persuasions and backgrounds to shores of Lake Washington on an 80 degree Sunday. I figured I should have no trouble fitting in, and I was correct; Madison Park Beach in Seattle is a great place to wear your swim thong.
Nestled just south of the University of Washington and is hiding behind winding and secluded neighborhoods east of downtown. Madison Park is one of the few Lake Front parks with an actual beach. The sand is minimal, but few public shore line spots along Lake Washington offer a comfortable and inviting sunny weekend afternoon. With a dock equipped with a diving board, sandy beach, grass promenade, lifeguards, this past Sunday this parked was PACKED. Towels, beach chairs, Frisbees, footballs, wine, booze, loud music, children, couples, university students, retirees, gawkers, loaners, were present with Me in in my Pikante print swim thong.
The anxiety is always there. The moment where you transition from an unremarkable 20 something year old guy in Basketball shorts and T shirt to a renegade-trend-setter sporting a swim thong. That moment takes courage as you know the gaze of on lookers will lead to judgment, because YOU chose to be different.
This monumental moment in a new beach, new area, seemed fairly uneventful. The park was quaint at 10 am, maybe 15 people max around, and few really seemed to care. I got a few snickers from college aged mixed group in front of me, but that quickly melted away and I blended into the Summer Seattle scene.
As the temperature climbed into the 80s and the day wore on, here came the people. And no one said a word about my risqué suit. Soon I had neighbors inches from my towel and didn’t hear a peep. Maybe it was because I wasn’t listening, but honestly, other than a couple of stares then a shrug, most people were more focused on their summer day than me.
One of my good friends came down to meet me, this would be the first time he had seen me in a Thong. I actually was quite nervous for that, it’s easy to wear thongs…anonymously, but when you introduce this secret life to your friends, you wonder how it will change things. Well for my buddy it really didn’t change anything, as predicted. We go back to many fun days back at school and he just kind of was like, “you do you man, I aint going to stop ya.”
Once again, me and my buddy, and my swim thong just blended into the Sunny afternoon. He and I decided to cool off in the water as the temperature climbed. Walking back to the towel, finally someone had decided to say something.
“Hey I like your suit!” said this girl roughly my age. She was with her friend, boyfriend, and another guy friend. “I am in design and work for Nordstrom, and I really like that style,” she went on.
Instantly the whole group and I began talking about me and my suit, and how I wasn’t gay, and how great that was that I had the stones to pull off a suit like this so well. Turns out the boyfriend and his friend shared similar interests with me and we “bro-ed” out a little.
My buddy ended up leaving eventually, and I spent the rest of the afternoon with my new friends shooting the breeze, throwing Frisbee, diving off the diving dock, and listening to Weezer on their Bluetooth speaker. We exchanged numbers, instagrams, and said our goodbyes with plans to meet up sometime again this summer.
Literally, the whole experience was awesome. NEVER, have I felt so good about who I am. It is so refreshing to meet others who can be friendly and really just get along with some dude wearing a thong. Maybe its Seattle, maybe its them or me, but what a great Sunday it was.
To echo former stories here at UNB, just go out there and DO IT. Wear what you want and be yourself. You are in for a surprise on how rewarding a day like I just had can be!
Thursdays we are boing to bring you Throw Backs to prevoius years of UNB. That includes pictures as well as videos. This is Working hard from JOR. It was relased in December of 2015. We hope you enjoy this look back!
It’s Thong Thursday! Follow the lead of Nick & Dan and rock a thong today. This is the Nautical Mesh w/ Almost Naked thong! Head over to Andrew Christian to find out more.
When you think of a jock, its always in the traditional design. Reckless by Ron has taken the jock and made something really cool! The Seamen Underjock is a mix of a jock, brief and harness. Well, that’s my take on the pair. The line always has super fun looking bondage pairs. They may not be designed that way but they remind me of super hot fetishwear.
This pair has a brief cut. The pouch is made out of silver prismatic metallic lycra that ties into the leg harnesses. the rest of the brief is a white mesh. So you show off a bit, but this is not a pair you cover up and don’t show anyone. It screams to be seen. If I put this on I would have a specific person and purpose for the pair. It wouldn’t be worn under jeans to work.
The sheer creativity of Reckless By Ron amazes me. Yes, that’s a pun. They are doing something that is a mix of leather/bondage and club. It’s taking what some people call boring, since a lot of times it’s black or dark colors. And then putting bright, metallic and different colors in one.
This is one of many amazing styles you need to check out!
Pair: Reckless by Ron Seamen Underjock
Color: Metallic/WHite
Fabric: Lycra/Mesh
Sizes: X-Small – X-Large
Price: $60.00
Todd Sanfield makes Boxer briefs look sexy as hell. His underwear line has some awesome boxer briefs! Make sure you go check them out.
With our Reader Survey around the corner, we always ask about real guys in underwear. This could be our guys brave enough to drop their pants and take a few pics. Or regular guys on the internet showing off. It’s time we really start promoting the real guys on the site. This was sparked by a convo for the Brief Talk Podcast coming out this week, with ScruffyGear and UndiesGeek85. Two amazing guys who put themselves out there!
One thing that we have been known to do is a Brief Distraction. This showcases a brand, store, photographer, model or real life reader of the blog. It’s not just some random picture. It’s tied to the underwear industry in some way! Mostly it’s pics I think are amazing from brands and a link to the pair to buy. I want to get to the point where we can do at least one real guy/reader pic a week. I would be super excited to have more!
So what can you do? Fill out our form below with your email so we can contact you. Once we contact you share with us some pics and give us permission to run the pics. We can post your picture in one of two ways. The first is a link to your social media accounts. To help you gain followers and share your love of underwear. The second, to run the picture under a pseudonym without contact info. No worries that you can’t post it under your own name. However, we will need to know your name for permission but it will not be released to the public.
I hope you guys will be up for sharing pics of yourself in underwear, swimwear, spandex/workout wear and fetishwear. Maybe a little of all the above. One thing is we need it to be PG-13/R rated pics. Thongs and the back are ok but nothing 100% sheer or sexually excited pics (you know what I mean) or sex acts being performed. We will let you know if we can’t use your pics due to these issues.
We will start surfing throughout social media accounts and asking guys if we can post pics as well!

A leader in bamboo underwear for men, YOCISCO, celebrates its five year anniversary with first-time design collaboration with RayStraints, the recently-launched elastic harness company. Ray Vasquez is the owner and creative director of his near-namesake apparel company RayStraints which is quickly becoming known for custom elastic harnesses. Using the five-year anniversary as inspiration, Ray has designed five items exclusively for this collaboration using the original YOCISCO waistband from the 2013 Structured Brief.
In the past five years, YOCISCO has transformed from a small startup into a successful company that creates functional and fashionable, sustainable underwear and base layers. YOCISCO is always looking for new ways to expand the brand. “Meeting different people and being inspired by the world around us is essential to making products that people will love as their interests and lifestyles change,” said Gabriel Medina, CEO of YOCISCO. “With this collaboration, I wanted to explore a space we haven’t been before. By collaborating with a harness designer we can revisit our core fan bases from my years as a go-go dancer. Working with Ray has been a great way for me to connect my creative spirit with my desire to learn new things.”
The collaboration will be a collection of harnesses which cleverly incorporates the Roman numeral five and the letter Y. “The idea behind the collection is to commemorate the five-year milestone. I want consumers to be able to take pride in these designs and appreciate them the way they appreciate the underwear,” said Ray. “For the past four years I have been a customer of YOCISCO so to be given the opportunity to bring a new perspective of the brand to their global customer base leaves me speechless.”
The collaboration will be available exclusively to YOCISCO Insiders on July 9, 2018 and at San Diego Pride July 14-15, 2018. A limited quantity will be available for purchase online after July 17, 2018.
