Taking its color cues from the BDSM community, Timoteo’s Liquid Shadow brief pays homage to Cellblock 13’s Leather/Levi/Rubber history by emphasizing blue highlights on a black brief, white piping detail, and a rubberized Cellblock 13 moniker on top of a plush waistband.  The garment’s top note also features a red “13” (possibly in place of the more “traditional” red heart).

A 93% modal and 7% elastane fabric provides the garment with a soft hand as well as ample support and stretch where needed.  If a finer fabric for underwear exists, this reviewer hasn’t yet found it.

The brief moved comfortably all day without sagging or necessitating readjustment.  It employs true full coverage of the backside Elastic leg openings held securely without binding or pinching at any time.  The supportive front provides that “Goldilocks pouch” – not too big, not too small, but “just right” in terms of depth & stretch.

Previous Timoteo (and Cellblock 13) purchases have proven great long-term investments.  I expect the Liquid Shadow brief to perform similarly well for years to come.

Nevertheless, be careful when sizing.  Timoteo’s size chart runs small:  Small (28”-30”), Medium (31-32”), Large (33”-34”), XL (35”-36”).

The Liquid Shadow brief retails for $28 from various retailers, including Boxer & Brief.Com (a bricks-and-mortar establishment headquartered in Raleigh, NC).

 

The Liquid Shadow line includes a similarly styled trunk, jock brief, and jock strap.  Other color options include dark gray and red.

Instagram is one awesome way to discover new brands. Tiger Heat Productions is one of those new brands. They have an awesome singlet they designed that I knew I needed to get more info about. It’s super sexy and one singlet I thought you guys may want to know about. We hopefully will be reviewing one!
Here is their story:
The idea of this innovative wrestling singlet came to me around one year ago and the sale started officially this past January. I have a past experience (almost 20 years) in fashion photography, that allowed me to understand and appreciate fashion design, plus I am Italian, so this product came out for fun and for willing to create something new. The idea was to bring the concept of the bodysuit (that has been so strong between girls from 5 years) in guys, with a touch of fashion and retro; so we have inspirations from the imaginarium of the bathing suits of the 30’s, the leotard of the 80’s, the “Strong Man” at the circus, the wrestling ring, the ballet stage and many more.
So the first prototype was born and after a couple of fittings and some “asking around”, we decided to make a production here in US; we had already created some little expectation on social media (mostly Instagram), so when we announced the produce was ready the first week got already several orders.
The second steps were to get some samples in black and today our Instagram profile is constantly getting new followers, orders, and requests… we are very happy! I think the main reason is the design (I really studied for the whole year to have something different from all the singlets and bodysuits already around) and most of all the sexy appeal that creates on the body: it really enhances the male forms, covering and exposing the most strategic parts. And this is what people tell us after they wear it!
Even if for the moment the market is mostly for gay guys, a couple of straight guys (modeling our product for photo shoots) told us that they were really feeling hot in it, so our goal would be also straight guys market, especially in the fitting, dance and yoga world… and of course wrestling, that is always at the top of the list.
We also want to create an artistic connection with photographers and artists, cause we feel it is very important: we encourage photographers to take photos of our products and customers as well, and also art and illustrations are always featured in our profile! So anyone interested in creating a collaboration with us is very welcome!
Want one of these singlets? Send Tiger Heat Productions a DM on Instagram.

So this year is N2N’s 25th anniversary, and they’ve been celebrating by coming out with new lines and styles all year, as well as bringing back some old favorites as well. So far we’ve seen Camo, Ribbed, and Tropic make a return, and this week in there featured Friday email I noticed a somewhat different return.

The California Dreaming line is a couple years old, and was one of my favorites visually. The stripes were really fun and also made the pouch look fantastic, and the material was super soft to boot. I’ve got the bikini, and it’s one of my favorite pairs. Lo and behold, the line has returned, but in a new style! At the time the line was originally out, they had a jock, bikini, trunk, and brief. I was disappointed that there was not a thong in the line. As you probably have guessed by now, the new pair is a thong!

The thong is made from the same super soft rayon fabric as the old line, but lacks the wide black waistband of the old line, favoring the more traditional N2N thong silhouette. If you’ve ever worn their Classic Cotton Thong, you should know what to expect.

A couple notes:
This pair may have been out for awhile and I just may have missed it because as of the writing of this post there are only two color choices currently while the original line had four to choose from. This may be that these two were the most popular of the old ones, but don’t quote me on that. Also, it is on sale, which I’d call a good thing! I know I don’t need more thongs but it’s going to be hard to keep myself from getting this one. You can purchase it here for just $16 currently.

Got a pair you’d like to see as Thong of the Week? Send me an email to underweardude14@gmail.com, or message me or the blog on twitter @underweardude or @unbblog. Have a terrific Thong Thursday everyone!

So you’ve been thinking about trying out a pair of lace underwear or perhaps finding a lacy swimsuit to wear to a private (or not) beach or pool. Well, Skinzwear has you covered this season with their various offerings in lace fabrics.

Skinzwear has offered all of their suits in the fabric of your choice for many years and now has several different styles on their website that they are advertising in several different lace fabrics.

A number of suits are listed in varying stages of coverage, from their skimpy g-string styles all the way to trunk/boxer styles. They are even offering beach/running style shorts you could wear as a cover-up or tights you could wear lounging around or for a run around the neighborhood if you dare!

In addition, you can customize any Skinzwear suit in a lace fabric, and they can also make matching suits for men and women! Go visit their website and check out some of the offerings in lace and let me know what you think.

To get these styles and more shop at Skinzwear.

If you are looking for a reason to justify an underwear purchase, we have a great one for you. I, like many of you out there, have more underwear than the average guy. Also, if you’re like me you need to keep getting more great pairs. Sometimes you have to say no to a pair but you really don’t want too. Andrew Christian’s love line is giving a portion of the sales or production donation to charities they support. So you are getting great undies and helping others, it’s a win-win. Also, you also have the option of paying-it-forward by giving an extra $1 donation to our community…and you get to choose where your money goes from ten different LGBTQ charity organizations.

There are four pairs in the collection. The first two have are the more classic pairs. The Project Love Brief & Boxer Brief. Made with the LOVE waistband and in solid colors. These are great but we want something a bit more splash and color! But, if you need some awesome basics these two would be great for you!

The two that I have my eye on are the Project Love Pride Splash Mesh brief and Mesh Lockerroom Jock. Both have this super fun splash print in the pride colors. The pattern is on a white mesh fabric with the splash of pride colors all over. The trim of each pair is red and that really makes them pop!

On top of that, it comes with the natural and ergonomical pouch. It doesn’t say that this is the Almost Naked Pouch. But in the pics it definitely looks like it. It’s one of the best pouches on the market. It’s in my top 5 of all pouches I have tried and that’s saying something.

If you want amazing undies that help others get one or two pairs of the new Project Love from Andrew Christian.

Singlets are growing in popularity. No longer are they for college wrestling or wrestling fetish. Now designs are made for fun times in the bedroom or the club. More and more guys are wearing these out and dancing the night away. Marco Marco is known for making super sexy gear for guys. This is a singlet they have brought back!

The Ultimate Thong Singlet is one of their hottest singlets they have done. It’s like a thong with a built-in harness. One thing this has that most singlets don’t is a thong back. Most have more of a short or brief at the bottom. Marco Marco is pulling out al the sexy stops for this pair.

The Ultimate Thong Singlet is available in pink and black. The trim is pink and the fabric of the singlet is black. The singlet is not made out of all the same material. There is black Sportivo fabric on the crotch and metallic black mesh near the neckline. So don’t worry about showing off all the goods. The mesh-like fabric is on the sides.

As noted above, you can wear this out but you can also wear this with jeans to give you a fun look and if you want to take the pants off later. I really love the designs that Marco Marco creates. They create super fun gear for guys. It’s made to have something flattering on and show off just about everything!!!.

If you’re looking for a super fun singlet we def recommend the Marco Marco Ultimate Thong Singlet. Especially for those who love thongs. Which is a lot of you reading this post. Step outside your box and try some new things. SInglets, Harnesses, and more. Just go have fun with gear!

COLORS: Pink/Black
FABRIC: See site
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $90

It’s been a while since we have seen some mesh undies on the market. Don’t worry, mesh isn’t going anywhere it’s become a staple of the men’s underwear world. It will be around for the long run. One company that has released two new pairs of mesh is Go Softwear. They have released the 4 Play Mesh Bikini and Boxer Brief. Two of the favorite styles.

I have to run their description. I love this description!

Step out of your comfort zone and into the erogenous zone! The 4 PLAY bikini brief by GO SOFTWEAR is designed entirely from a semi-translucent mesh fabric that will showcase your goods for a touch of eroticism. This undergarment also includes a sexy hi-cut design with spacious front pouch along with a covered waist band for all day comfort.

The 4 Play line comes in 3 different colors. Of course, it comes in the classic black. But it also comes in red and turquoise. These three are great colors for a mesh pair. The black will show more than other colors. So those who want to show off get the black and the other two will show but not as much

The bikini is a true bikini. It’s made with a high waistband. Including a great pouch that should give you ample support. The back is also full, so don’t worry about a 3/4 back in this pair. The boxer brief has a 7 inch outer seam. It’s not as long as other boxer briefs and in my opinion is almost a trunk. This pair also has a pouch! If you are like me and shy away from boxer briefs for lack of support. Worry. no more, most that have a pouch built in really do give better support. But that’s just my opinion.

Find these pairs at the Go Softwear site.

PAIR: Go Softwear 4 Play Bikini
COLORS: Black, Red, or Turquoise
FABRIC: 90% Nylon 10% Spandex
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $23.00
COLORS: Black, Red, or Turquoise
FABRIC: 90% Nylon 10% Spandex
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $24.00

Let’s see a show of hands who’s over these bomb cyclones, snow, and fluctuating temps. And those who have hands up who is ready for wearing as little as you can on the beach? If your hand is still up we have some great new swim colors from Cocksox. If you have tried their underwear it’s time to rock the swimwear on the beach.

They didn’t go all crazy on adding a lot of new colors. They added Shamrock (green) and Oceanic (blue). Colors that are returning are Reef Gold and Code Red. All four of these colors will be awesome for the beach! Cocksox always has the most amazing color and prints.

These colors are available in the following styles: CX02 Brief, CX04 Drawstring Brief, CX79 Boy Leg Brief and CX22 Thong. Yes you can get some awesome swim thongs! But wait that’s not all, they brought back the CX24 Brazillian Brief. This is the official description:

Brazilian’ in the name of these swim briefs is all about butt cheeks but not waxing them, showing them off! The Brazilian cut is a high arch across the top of your buns, showing off more flesh than a regular brief but not an exposed as a thong or g-string.

Made out of 78% Recycled Nylon 22% Extra Life Lycra® fabric blend. Makes this the perfect fabric for swimwear! When I look for swim like around 80% nylon and 20% lycra. It gives you all the support you need and quick drying. Because there is nothing worse than a pair of swim that stays wet for hours and hours.

Go to the Cocksox site to check out the new swimwear. We have posted most of the pics of the new styles. And check out the previous prints as well. They are amazing and some of the best prints!

Welcome to Thong of the Week, where we celebrate #ThongThursday by showcasing a new or exciting pair. We are starting off with the new Calvin Klein …yes, Calvin Klein has FINALLY released a new thong.

Back in the day when I first got into upscale underwear, the CK Body Thong was considered by many to be one of the best thongs out there. While that status has been reduced over the years, CK has finally come out with a new thong. Here’s what one of our patrons on Patreon had to say about it:
“Hey gents! The new Calvin Klein thong is awesome. Great for both casual wear and the gym. It would make a great Thong Thursday!”

Called the Focused Fit thong, it is a part of a more extensive line. The pair features a wide, branded waistband and microfiber material, and has a “typical” mid-sized thong back.

If you are interested in this pair, you can find it either on CKs site or on Amazon. Right now it only comes in black, but hey, black goes with everything, right? Like Henry Ford said about the Model T, “you can have it in any color you want, as long as it’s black.” I guess. Another downside besides the lack of color variety is the pouch. Most of the Amazon reviews, as well as our Patron, make mention that the pouch is slightly small, but it doesn’t seem to be a deal breaker.

Think we should review this thong? Then you should support us on Patreon(link-https://www.patreon.com/unbblog/)! We just updated our goals section,(You may have seen our post about it), and if we reach our first goal we will be doing a thong review one Thong Thursday a month, with stretch goals up to a thong review every week, swim thongs, video reviews, and more, so if you want to see more thong reviews on this site, check it out!

Got a suggestion for what should be the next Thong of the week? Let us know in the comments below, or tell us on twitter @unbblog or give me a hollar @underweardude
