Today is the last day to vote for your favorites! Our UNB 2018 Reader Awards are about to come to a close. We hope you have had fun campaigning and voting for your favorite pairs. This is a lot of work for us but is a lot of fun. We will be back for another award season in January/February 2019! So go vote now at our UNB 2018 Reader Awards Ballot.

Here is the thong poll result. You guys really love thongs! I can tell anytime we run a thong poll they always have higher response rate. This was just like the others! Let’s go over the results

94% of you guys are a fan of thongs. I know this number is skewed by the guys who answered. It’s no surprise. We do, however, have a large number of you guys who love thongs.

87% of you guys want to see more thong content on UNB. Which is a good thing because we have quite a few thong fans on staff.  They will gladly review more and do more thong centric posts. Now, we don’t want to turn the site into Thong News Briefs but we think 2 posts a week on thongs is not overdoing it. One being a review and the other being a write-up or Brief distraction.

98% of you guys would love to see a thong review every Thursday. This means this is something you guys really want who love thongs. Now that we have video reviewers, we could do thong reviews. Seeing a video of the thong is a great thing. The ones we have had are awesome. Martin and Andrew are amazing guys.

This one didn’t surprise me. I was a little letdown but not surprised. Almost 40% would support us through a crwodfunding site such as Patreon. If we do a thong post every Thursday and the thong price averages $20 that would be for the year, review pairs would cost $1,040 a year. Not to mention other pairs we are currently buying. After costs of the site (hosting, domain, email and etc), we would need help to accomplish this goal. Plus we would reward those who support us as well!

I am reevaluating our levels on Patreon due to this info and will be releasing new reward levels and posting. Any reward levels you guys want to see let me know!

We get to talk to two thong experts. We talk about gay vs. straight, swim thongs, thongs at the gym and more. These two guys love their thongs and not ashamed to wear them in public or playing tennis.

There are some audio issues. The recording Softwear changed somethings since I last used it and it will be fixed by our next episode. I apologize for that. You get UNB on the left side and the guests on the right side.

The show is over and it was a good day for UNB at the show. I was accompanied by The Thonged Ginger. We met with Tulio, Skull & Bones, UnderJeans, Ginch Gonch, Cocksox, 2EROs, Olaf Benz, Man Store, Gregg Homme, and Freedom Reigns, now known as FR. It was a full day! I say that because I only now get one day at the show rather than the entire week

We had an issue with registration for the first time ever. We went to the Press registration and was told we didn’t have access to the Project Show. Being calm I was like “WHAT?” I register about a month out of the show and get a confirmation. They were about to send us to another area when they contacted the PR person and found out we were good to be press.

Here are some of the highlights. I won’t go into a lot of detail because when new lines are coming out we will write them up.

• 2EROS turns 10 this year! They will be revisiting some classic 2EROS from the first year and release some amazing prints in swimwear (not like that’s a surprise)
• Tulio is sending us some lace, Tulio is known for doing some great stuff in swim and underwear but he’s sending us lace to review. One of his biggest sellers currently
• SKull & Bones really impressed me with their gear. The prints are just amazing. Just wait to you see whats coming up next for them. Super fun and it’s for the print lover
• Olaf Benz and Manstore – These now have a US distributor! This was one of the most exciting things of the entire show. SO many guys love both brands but having to order from overseas makes it difficult to get. Not anymore. We will be informing you where and how you can get both of these
• UnderJeans continue to make amazing swimwear. Which will come soon and super fun work out wear? Just in case you forgot they have rebranded from Junk UnderJeans
• Ginch Gonch, you thought they were gone, didn’t you? They have something very classic coming up. It caught my eye in their booth.
• Cocksox has a new Italian mesh line that is out now. I saw the email go out on Thursday. More on that next week. They have some amazing new colors in swimwear! I think you guys are going to go crazy for the mesh.
• FR (Freedom Reigns) is all about workout wear and swimwear. They have some underwear but shifted the focus for the brand. The new gear looks amazing. Also, I have one hint of something in the line. Flamingos. That’s all I’m saying.
• Wood Underwear – They have new prints coming out and later this year a color you don’t see a lot of in men’s underwear. Which I personally loved.
• Gregg Homme lastly is the brand I needed to catch up with. They continue to amaze me and create super fun underwear. I got to see the new line, the first time in two years. They do amazing undies.

Some Show takeaways

• The attendance on the last day seemed to be down. I’m not sure if this was just what was happening or me missing the other days.
• Fewer brands go every year. There were the brands above. I remember where there were 27+ brands. Many are seeing it more advantageous to do everything online.
• Placement of the brands varies. Last show they had a great location and this time they were back in the corner again.

I love Vegas and the shows. No telling what the future will hold.

I found my love of thongs many years ago, both as underwear and swimwear.  For obvious reasons like many others, my interest started out as a rush that I would get when putting on a pair of sexy underwear, but it has become so much more than that for me now.  I wear underwear that makes me feel good, just as we dress nicely to make us feel better about ourselves.  For me putting on a pair of well-fitting undies is no different than when I put on a dressy shirt or slide on a well-crafted pair of shoes.  When something feels good, it makes you feel good.  Period.  And when you feel good, it makes others notice that you are confident about yourself.

I started posting pictures to social media sometime last summer, and for all the wrong reasons.  I began posting pictures to Instagram last year for attention, and not to share my love of thongs and other underwear.  I was quickly consumed with getting as many likes as possible instead of promoting brands, normalizing well fitting underwear for men, and talking and answering questions about what to wear and where to find it!  I met Tim from UNB over Instagram last summer who gave me an outlet in the form of blogging that has allowed me to express my interests and share with others without simply showing off pictures of myself in skimpy undies.  I now use a mix of personal and stock photos paired with opinions, brand awareness, and underwear reviews to share my interests with a very wide audience!

I have taken my leadership courses throughout my career and one of the things I have heard from many presenters as a tactic to conquer the fear of public speaking is to picture everyone in their underwear.  It is supposed to normalize everyone and make you feel more at ease.  I have taken that to heart and incorporated another step in that I use my underwear to boost my own confidence as well.  Knowing that when we get ready to go to a job interview or have a big meeting at work we all tend to dress to the nines that we are subconsciously doing so for our benefit and not anyone else’s wearing nice underwear is just like wearing a nice pair of socks, a sharp tie, or a polished pair of shoes.  It simply adds to the whole ‘put-together” look that is portrayed by many successful and confident men.  Feeling good about yourself is one of the first steps to showing others that you are confident in yourself and your actions!

I wear thongs almost exclusively on the beach and to the pool.  I absolutely wear them because I love being in the sun and the tan lines they leave!  Being as free as you are when wearing nothing but a thong outdoors is one of my favorite feelings in the world.  I don’t have any interest in being nude on the beach-I really enjoy the feeling of wearing a thong, as well as all of the different color and design choices we have to choose from to express ourselves.  Also, knowing that I am wearing something so tiny in public where it isn’t expected is quite the rush, but definitely isn’t the main reason I wear them!

To recap, wearing sexy underwear is the first step to building my confidence from the base level.  I enjoy the way that I look and feel when wearing a nice pair of thong underwear, and knowing that nobody but me knows that I have them on under my slacks at work is pretty fun too!  I know it kinda breaks up the monotony of the business workplace for me knowing that I am not following the “norms” of society.  I want to continue to share my love and interest of thongs with others and help to normalize guys wearing thongs and other types of sexy undies!

As you have noticed this week, the guys are writing about confidence and underwear. The reason I did this post topic this week is everyone has a different story. Confidence comes in many ways. Through good and bad experiences. I”m not going to write a history on how it gives me confidence. I feel I have done that many times here. You can go back and read some archived posts on that.

I want to talk about current confidence. As I am right now I’m not happy where I am physical. I think I’m the biggest I have ever been in my life. There are many factors that have lead to where I am. Which I am dealing with and getting to the point where I want to make changes. It’s a lifestyle change that I need to make. I made it before and got depressed and it all went to hell. A lot of things are changing for the better and I’m starting to focus on health.

Right now underwear makes me feel great because I can fit in it and feel great. Being a bigger size right now there are a ton of undies out there that don’t fit me. Pairs I currently own and certain brands don’t go above 36-inch waist. When I slide on a pair of Cocksox, Ergowear, or Obviously. I get that great pouch and I feel like I did when I was a 31 waist when I was 19 or 20. It reinforces I can still feel good at any size. I think all guys should feel this way. Not just the small and mediums out there.

It also serves as a way for me to get motivated to get back in shape. I see pairs in my drawer and want to wear them. I know the only way to do that is to make those changes. After I start my journey back, It will be a regular feature here. I think we all need motivation and someone in your corner to cheer you on. I hope I can inspire other guys as well. I’m not going to go from out of shape to a bodybuilder. But rather a good weight and healthy.

This is my story. If it resonates and you feel the same reach out!

In August of 2012 at Curve we met with Jam. They were a part of Rounderbum. This was part of Curve. This was also the trip I didn’t realize that the show started a day earlier than I thought. So I had to fly out at 6 AM and go straight to the show from the Airport.
