Michael Dean, Sean Alexander and Nick Sandell have become some of my favorite models. First, they look awesome in Arokik swimwear. Next They all started ModelTrainers. .An online service for training. Micheal is above and always looks like he’s having fun. on Aronik shoots.
I had several discussions at Project/Magic about how popular thongs have become in the last year. 2017 was the year of the thong, without a doubt. Look at UNB, we have over half of our guys who love the design and wear them as much as possible.
One idea I had was to run more thong content. The best thing would be a thong review every Thursday. But this got me thinking that it would be costly as well. We used to get all our undies given to us by brands but in the last few years, we have started to buy more of what we review.
Here are the results of the survey:
95% of the guys who answered are a fan of thongs. This survey was open to all readers who liked or didn’t like Thongs
An overwhelming percentage, 93% want to see more thong content. I was expecting a high number but not this high.
An even larger amount want to see a thong review every Thursday.
We then asked who would support us in creating this content. It’s not surprising that only 38% of people wanted to support us financially
Mos guys would donate $1 but the $6-10 was a surprise. I was expecting the two low-end options to have the highest votes.
Currently we pull in 99% of our income via advertising. Anytime you click an ad and buy something you are supporting us! The other 1% is from Patreon. We have a great group of guys who have supported us for a while. This income supports the site with hosting for the year, subscriptions for services and some travel expenses (Las Vegas & Bham).
If we did do a thong review a week (including video reviews), the chart below is the rough break down for the year.
It would be about $1,300 for a thong a week. Yes, we may get some donated for review. And we want to let you guys pick some as well. So that could increase the costs.
Here are the ideas I have come up with:
I”d love to get some feedback on those who would support it. Email us at info@underwearnewsbriefs.com
We are in the need of a web server guy! Preferably one who loves underwear! Our current IT guy doesn’t know a lot about servers and it’s done by the seat of his pants. (That guy is me!) We don’t have many issues but occasionally we do and it can be a simple fix or something more complex.
Here is what we are looking for:
We don’t have too many issues lately. But having someone on staff would be great. Fill out the form and let’s talk. We can talk compensation and free undies!
JOR has a great new collection out We will be bringing you all the prints, bright colors, swim and workout wear! But can you believe that they have FLAMINGOS! Hells yeah!
I purchased a Narrow Push Out Thong from Beachndance in Metallic Mint Green for this review.
Rating: 9/10 (Average of the ratings below)
• Daily Fit: 9/10
• Sizing: 10/10
• Construction: 9/10
• Styling: 9/10
• Daily Performance: 8/10
Pros:
• HUGE color palette
• Customizable designs
• Frequent special offers if you sign up for their email
Cons:
• The only negative experience I have had with Beachndance suits is that the brighter colors I have ordered tend to fade quickly and bleed onto other clothing when they are wet. It is not an issue unless you wear a light color cover up to/from the beach or pool.
UNB Ryan recommendation: Take advantage of weekly offerings at Beachndance’s website for closeout deals, 2 for $40 deals, and discontinued fabric styles. Whether you want to build up your collection of swimwear, plan to incorporate some of these styles into your underwear drawer, or need some new suits to spice up your stage routine, Beachndance has something for everyone!
I ordered a Narrow Push Out Pouch Men’s Thong suit in Metallic Mint Green for this review. I have been ordering swimwear from Beachndance for the past few years and am very satisfied with my experience with the brand. Beachndance offers a unique custom order experience with their suits and will work with you to design almost anything you can imagine. The fabric selection is one of the largest I have encountered in a custom swim manufacturer. My experience in wearing thong swimwear has prepared me well for wearing this suit out in public, so it was right up my alley as far as comfort levels go. While ordering this suit I immediately began to think about where I would wear them, what I would do in them, and what type of tan lines they would leave!
As soon as I pulled them out I immediately fell in love with the fit and look of the fabric. I have previously worn this suit around the house to do chores, wash our cars, and cut the grass. The way the sunlight shimmers off of this fabric is unreal and is an eye catcher. The mint green color is a stark contrast against a deep summer tan and I can’t wait for it to warm back up so that I can wear them outside again! This suit feels great against the skin, accentuates your figure, and has a simple design that will look great on all body types!
Beachndance has done an outstanding job in providing top notch construction on this and all of the suits I have ordered from them. The only thing that I would say about the fabric used is that if you order a brightly colored suit (pinks and reds primarily) then they have the tendency to fade quickly and/or bleed onto other light colored fabrics. Many times I will wear a pair of square cut or booty style shorts over my thong when walking from the car to the beach or pool, and a couple of the lighter colors have bled through once I got them wet.
The customization options offered on Beachndance’s website are endless. All suits are offered with the choice of four different back styles (bikini, cheeky, shortie, and thong) and I obviously chose the thong! The pouch styles offered include basic, push out, and missile, and are offered in two different widths-moderate or narrow. The strap styles are also customizable from ½”-2” along with varying back and front widths and rises. The pouch I chose was a Narrow push out and it holds your package in more of a downward than outwards position, which is nice, because it allows you to wear the suit in more locations than if it were more of a straight out pouch design!
I bought this suit in a small, as I do with almost all swimwear and to no surprise it fits me perfectly. All of Beachndance’s suits fit very true to industry standards. The pouch on the size small fits me snugly, and the fabric used is supple and stretchy enough to allow for stretch throughout the day (or night) while swimming and sunning. I have only ordered one suit over the past several years that fit any differently (just a little tighter,) and I attribute it to the fabric being a little bit less stretchy than normal, so it’s not anything that would prevent me from ordering again in the future.
Give Beachndance a try for your swimwear this summer, and I am confident you won’t be disappointed. Their suits have held up well for me, in both the ocean and pool environments with minimal elastic fade or fabric breakdown. The customization options are almost endless, and they will work with you to come up with a suit that compliments you and your unique style. Whether you want a sexy thong or bikini, or something in between, you will find something at Beachndance’s website!

French label L’Homme Invisible has just released a new video featuring the latest and upcoming lines of its Winter 2018 collection. Together with the video, the Paris based label, released two campaigns for the exquisite Manta and Imperial lines of supreme quality underwear and t-shirts.
The Imperial line comprises men’s underwear in four styles (V-Boxers, Push Up Hipsters, Push Up Trunks and V-Strings) and tees. All the styles are trademark cuts of the luxury label made from a fine, Italian fabric featuring baroque patterns in velvet. The Imperial line is available in seductive black and ottanio, a superb dark blue-green tone.
The Manta line comprises men’s underwear in four styles (V-boxers, Push Up Hipsters, Push Up Trunks and String Striptease) and a T-shirt. The items of this line are made from a fine quality, Italian fabric with a burnt out treatment, offering a floral pattern and a semi transparent effect. Available in a ruby red combined with black detailing.
Both lines are handcrafted and have very discreet or no branding at all, in order to let the styles and unique fabrics speak for themselves.

There are often flurries of interest in new colours, new collections or new styles of men’s underwear and swimwear selected by Deadgoodundies.com. But even DGU was taken by surprise when its pictures of men’s one-piece body designs created a positive avalanche of attention on Pinterest (interestingly mostly from America!). Something very special happens when a man slips into a second skin all-in-one. The finer the fabric, the more he reveals beneath a sensual shadow of colour. A vest top is the ultimate torso enhancer, while a t-shirt topped cotton ‘onesie’ has a more earthy appeal. Any seamless top-and-bottom combo creates the smoothest base for any clothes. Every man should try one…
HOM’s anniversary special all-in-one underwear for men has a unique difference – the brand’s famous, patented HO1 horizontal opening. So no worries about easy access when nature calls.
HOM INSIDER SHORT JUMPSUIT £48.00
Smooth as skin itself. Olaf Benz have had bodies in their men’s fashion collection for years, so they’re pretty good at getting them right! This sporty underwear option comes in black or white, but also two true colours – a brilliant blue and green.
Admirable in so many ways – vest front, racer back, smooth across the back and bum, shapely where it matters at the front, and neat shorts onto the thigh. And a brilliant sandy interpretation of current fashion favourite camo.
MODUS VIVENDI DESERT SINGLET £47.00
A true male leotard with proper poppers at the gusset for easy access and exit! For men who love the look and feel of lace, this is the one.
MANSTORE M705 V-NECK BODY £135.00
Going out on the prowl? Add a touch of leopard print with this one piece – gently enhancing front, higher cut across the butt and sultry, slinky fabric.
MANSTORE M665 CHEEKY BODY £62.00
Take the one-piece look to a whole new level in this magnificent bodysuit. Expresses a different character in each colour – top to toe black, olive or tabasco. Super hero material for sure.
MANSTORE M510 ATHLETIC SUIT £80.00

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 are almost done with the 2018 Reader Awards, but two more categories to profile are best Jock and Jock Brief. Jocks really never go out of fashion. They keep changing and evolving. One prime example of evolving is the Jock Brief. The mix of a brief and a jock, has taken many forms over the years. Make sure you go vote on our UNB 2018 Readers Award Ballot.

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.
Some Show takeaways
I love Vegas and the shows. No telling what the future will hold.
It’s time to Vote for your favorite swimwear. Each year we see more and more brands making amazing swimwear. This year was no different. We hope you guys took out Swim Brief or Swim Thong challenge. It seems more are taking the swim thong! Either way, it’s great guys are wearing some awesome swimwear. Make sure you VOTE on our UNB 2018 Reader Awards ballot.

If you are a fan of Briefs, you need to check out the new 2018 Xtremen! We posted on it last week and they have some seriously hot briefs. Make sure you check out the post.
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!
Fetishwear is going mainstream! We have some amazing fetish brands that we cover. We hope you have taken the chance to check them out and wear their gear. Also, A new category this year is Spandex. It’s growing in singlets and runners. I would have done a singlet category but the last time I tried that we didn’t have enough to fill it. Now we have a good mix of gear. Make sure you go vote at our UNB 2018 Reader Awards Ballot.

Flash Forward 2 years and we meet up with Good Boy Gone Bad again. This time Marko Lebeau is joined by Samuel. They have some great new gear they showed us in August 2013. On a side note, I have the red bag and it’s what I put all my gear in for shoots. It’s neoprene and pretty awesome. I still have it 5 years later!
