Men’s Underwear

We love asking you guys poll questions and then sharing the results. The last poll was what did you wear last summer as swimwear. You guys told us and here are the results;

I”m super excited the swim brief was the style most worn. And that board shorts were down to the bottom! We may not be in the swim brief friendly place but more guys are wearing them. Then we asked did you wear a swim brief or thong for the first time.

I was not expecting such a large number of you would have tried swim thongs! More and more guys are wanting to wear these to the beach or pools. Many have skipped the brief and gone straight to the thong.  We asked guys what made them wear these styles for the first time. Here is what you guys told us.

  • To get the best possible tan and I figured I earned it working out so much. No one judges and people have been wearing them for a long time.
  • Don’t mind what others think. Wear what I like to wear.
  • Reduced tan line
  • Sexiness of the brief
  • I was in the Caribbean, so it made it easier to get away with wearing a thong.
  • Decided to take the plunge
  • I always wanted to wear a swim thong, but never had the place to do it. I wore one to a secluded beach and in my back yard, so freeing. Hope to do it more again soon.
  • Because it’s great. Big shorts are unnecessary. The sun, breeze, etc feels great why not expose as much skin as possible. Hopefully, I will get to wear a thong or be nude outdoors next summer
  • Love how they look and feel in me and other men
  • I finally built up the courage… I have worn thongs as underwear for years but was always nervous to in public. I was wearing a Joe Snyder thong which is also swimwear
  • I have worn thong underwear for a while and decided to finally give a swim thong a try

Thanks for sharing guys. We hope this will get more of you to wear a brief or thong!

Every year in our reader’s survey, a pouch is one of the biggest issues guys have in underwear. It’s not always that it’s too small, we have a fair amount of guys that have a pouch that is too big! I have even had this issue and yes I write a lot of the endowed series. A pouch that is too big is just as annoying as one that is too small. In this post, I will point out some great pouches for those of all sizes!

Let’s start off with regular guys. A pouch should be supportive but you don’t want it too big that you can tie a knot in the bottom of the pouch. There are several brands that I recommend. The first is Mundo Unico. Thiers was the first pouch I ever fell in love with because it’s built for real guys. It’s not too tight and too loose. It’s the Goldilocks of underwear! Next the Max pouch from Ergowear. Ergowear is not for the endowed. Their pouches take what you have and give it a natural enhance.

There is a middle ground that is for both regular and endowed guys. The first is Cocksox. The original pouch of the CX01 Bikinis hands down in my top three pouches. It’s amazing because it’s made for all guys and will fit the average guy to the endowed. There are no straps or anything. The pouch is enhancing but it’s all natural. Next is Andrew Christian Almost Naked. This has been around for about as long as UNB. The pouch is an anatomically designed pouch. I prefer this over the Trophy Boy. I feel it fits me way better!

Lastly for the endowed guy. I feel you on the need for a pouch that fits and is supportive. It’s not an easy thing to find. One of the best and I think little-known brands is John Siever’s from International Jock. They made a pouch that really fits amazing. I prefer the brief style over a boxer brief. It’s just my personal preference. Lastly is the WildmanT Big Boy Pouch briefs! Now available in a few pairs but the Mesh brief is one of my favorites. The pouch fits and gives amazing support!

These are a few suggestions of pouches. I would love to hear you guys favorite pouches.

aussieBum Say Yes Taboo Underwear

Check out a couple more new lines from aussieBum. They are the Say Yes and Taboo Collections. One allows you to give and show support for equal rights in marriage. While the other one just allows you to show pretty much everything, but still have to support yourself.

First, let’s look at the Say Yes line. This line was created to help campaign for equal rights for all Australians. 100% of the profits from the sales of this line will be donated to Australian Marriage Equality. You have a choice to show your support in a brief or a trunk. They are only available in white with digital looking rainbow hearts and black banners with the works Vote Yes and Equality on them. Then on red banners, it has either the aussieBum name or equality=aussieBum. They also have small colored pixel squares throughout the pattern. Both styles have a white waistband with the aussieBum name in red. These are made out of 92% polyester and 8% Elastane. They can be washed gentle cycle in cold water but should be hung to dry. They’re made in Australia and are available in sizes small to extra large.

Now the new Taboo leaves nothing to the imagination. It is a limited edition moisture wicking mesh. I’d think the moisture would just go right through the holes. The 90% nylon and 10% elastane fabric has a unique four-way stretch, which leaves you feeling supportive. You have a choice of a brief or bare even more with the jock. Both are in black and have a red waistband with aussieBum in black on it. The Taboo line is to be washed gentle cycle in cold water and also should be hung to dry. They’re available in sizes small to extra large and are made in Australia too.

It’s your choice to support yourself and bare all in the Taboo line or support Australian marriage equality in a Say Yes style. Both make a statement.

The Boo line is available in a trunk or a brief and you have 3 color options. There is Banshee Blue, Undead Yellow, and Wicked White.

All leg opens have white piping.

They are made in Australia and are available is sizes small to extra large. Don’t forget with prints that positioning of the ghosts will vary pair to pair.

Brand Intro: Olaf Benz Underwear Swimwear

Olaf Benz started its journey into men’s underwear in 1989. Founded by stylist and photographer Alfons Krauzer who still manages the designs for the lines. Olaf Benz differentiates itself by using the latest technologies, which will cover some of those innovations a bit later. The brand is certain that only an excellent product can create brand loyalty with customers. They believe their creativity is essential to this success.

Olaf Benz has quite a variety of styles in their collection. In underwear, they have the trunks also referred to as mini pants or hipsters. They offer briefs, but most are more a sports cut. There are different varieties of bikinis to choose from along with thongs (mini strings). Also in their lineup, you’ll find the boxer brief cut, boxers shorts, jocks, and leggings. Olaf Benz also offers quite a few options in swimwear. They got you covered with singlets or swim body suits and swim pants. Even have the swim shorts. There are square cut suits of varying leg lengths. Swim brief and bikini cuts of different side widths. Then for those that what cheek exposes, they have thongs too. They have a good selection of colors and prints throughout their offering.

Olaf Benz has several innovations in the swim and underwear realm. They introduced the first underwear series that can be scented individually with your personal fragrance. The warmth of the skin releases the fragrance that you applied to the integrated pad. They took an ultra fine mesh fabric developed for a Spacelab experiment and create their “Phantom” series with it. They integrated an indicator into swimming trunks to indicate when to reapply sunscreen. Depending on the UV intensity it changed color. One other example of innovation is they came up with a brief only weighing 14 grams instead of the ordinary underwear that can weigh up to 150 grams. Help save space and weight in the businessman’s luggage.

Expect to pay more for Olaf Benz items. They are more of a premium brand who prides themselves on using the finest and most innovative fabrics. Along with making their items with great care and skillful craftsmanship.

Have you tried the brand, Olaf Benz? If so let us know your thoughts on them in the comments.

There are new undies coming out this month and next. One thing we have received is a behind the scenes post about the new Yocisco La Havanna line. I personally love bringing you these posts. Every line has its own unique story. I get to hear a lot of them but don’t always get to share the story with you guys. Now I can. This is the inspiration of the new La Havana line.

The initial design was inspired just days after our third anniversary (7/17/2016).  I was watching the news, seeing that the United States had restored diplomatic relations with Cuba. It rekindled a personal love for Cuban culture. Latinos, as a whole, have many things in common even though we come from diverse countries and ethnic/racial backgrounds. I’ve always felt as if Cubans were our familia, frozen in time because of their estranged relationship with the United States, adding to the romance and mystique of the island. After sitting with the idea for a few weeks I started thinking about where I was as a designer and what stories I wanted to tell this time around. With each collection, I get to show a new layer of myself as a designer and a person. I’ve shown whimsical, playful, and sexy in the past and I wanted to reveal another layer. We had an election coming up and I wanted to show my interest for current events as well as pay homage to my Latino heritage and history.  At the time, I didn’t realize how important this line would be in the collection. With everything going on in the world today the line now represents homage to past leaders who saw a new, modern road for Cuba and paid respect to the Cuban people and their future.

We hope you enjoyed the post. The line is out on Sept. 20, 2017 at the www.yocisco.com.

 

Are you a fan of classic underwear but want something with a little more color? You are in luck, the Baskit Contrast trunk is just that. It has a traditional boxer brief/trunk cut that will make you feel amazing wearing. But, the colors are contrasting adding a bit of extra fashion to the pair. Not so crazy you will turn heads at the gym with people going, what is he wearing. It’s only $12 today, so don’t miss out. Head to the Baskit site and pick up one or three pairs.


Wood Underwear® announces its Spring/Summer 18 (SS18) prints –Wood’s suiting inspired windowpanes in Blitz, Crosscut and Junction prints take a page straight out of men’s classics to launch them into a very modern spring basic.

Wood has brought this bold classic to market in jewel tones on grey grounding in 3 new prints and 5 styles.

“A man in a suit…just amazing. I love going to markets where men dress to the nines. Seeing men in suits, ties, hats, wingtips is nothing less than inspiring.” Terresa Zimmerman, founder of Wood Underwear continues, “As homage to those well dressed men…that we’d love to see more and more of…we designed a range of suiting inspired windowpane prints. We’ve used a masculine color palette, one that also gives our stores great merchandising opportunities with the rest of our line.”

I purchased the Joe Snyder Bulge Bikini in black lace on a whim because I found it on sale.

Rating: 7.6/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 6/10
  • Styling: 8/10
  • Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros:

  • Super soft lace fabric
  • Snug fitting stretchy pouch accentuates your package
  • Comfortable for all-day wear

Cons:

  • Some guys will be hesitant to wear a lace fabric
  • Fabric unraveled slightly after only two wears
  • Lace fabric only available in two colors

UNB Ryan’s recommendation: As an avid thong wearer, I cannot recommend this suit enough.  I normally wear thongs for underwear and swimwear and was hesitant to try a different cut, especially in a lace fabric.  The way Joe Snyder coupled the two components of this suit together is unique.  I thought that the lace fabric choice would be much more effeminate than it ended up being.  The lace just feels completely normal and doesn’t look out of place on my figure to me.  I also thought it would be much more uncomfortable and itchy to wear all day long.  The lace used in this suit is very soft and stretchy and stays in place all day long, which is a complaint I have had with trying bikinis in the past.  I will be purchasing more suits in lace fabrics!


I have come to appreciate and enjoy the Joe Snyder brand both as underwear and swimwear.  They are one of the brands that are a “crossover” between underwear and swimwear and give you the opportunity to wear them year round.  I have many pairs of Joe Snyder suits and various cuts and colors and will continue to buy from them.  The pair I am reviewing today is the Joe Snyder Bulge Bikini in black lace.  I was honestly a little hesitant to buy these due to both the cut and fabric choice, but for the cost, I had to give them a try and see what the fuss was all about.  I am normally strictly a thong wearer and do not usually stray away from them to try anything different, but the Joe Snyder brand has made me more curious about different styles.  While not as much out of my “comfort zone” as say a jock or a normal swim brief they are certainly not the norm for me due to the style and lace fabric!  I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked the bikini cut coupled with the lace fabric.  The cut is well suited for long-term wear, and the lace fabric is very stretchy and feels gerat against the skin without being itchy like I thought a lace fabric might have been.

I have worn these on two separate occasions, once for a full day at work, and another on a date night to the movies.  Both times were an enjoyable experience, and I honestly forgot that I was wearing them.  These are not a constant reminder that you are wearing them, and just feel nice the entire time you have them on.  Even with the “bulge” feature they are not overtly pronounced under a pair of dress slacks or uncomfortable under a pair of jeans.  They hold your package in a semi-forward position without being so pronounced that you’d be self-conscious about wearing them under your clothes in public.  I liked the fit so much that I have already bought them in another color and will likely expand my collection further to include more in the future.

This suit is well constructed but didn’t live up to my expectations for the Joe Snyder brand.  I have bought many pairs of Joe Snyder underwear/swimwear, and this was the first pair I have personally seen that showed obvious signs of wear so quickly.  This pair started to unravel along one of the seams where the straps meet between the pouch and the back panel, and while I think it is partly due to the lace fabric, I still wasn’t 100% happy with the construction.  Putting the construction of this particular pair aside, I am in love with the cut of this suit, which is surprising, because I am a huge proponent of thongs!  The cut of this suit is super comfy for all day/night wear, doesn’t cut into your skin anywhere, and stays put remarkably well for a Brazilian style bikini and doesn’t ride up.

Joe Snyder suits and underwear have always been true to size for me.  I have bought numerous thongs, the current bikini, and various brief and boxer-style suits and a size small always fits the same.  This suit was no exception as I bought it in size small and it fit me perfectly.  From the waist sizing to the pouch, it fits very similar to any of the other Joe Snyder products.

To summarize, this is a well-constructed suit that can be worn year round.  The construction falls a little short of what I’ve come to expect from the Joe Snyder brand, but I’m hoping that it was an isolated incident and I won’t let it stop me from buying another pair.  If I could ask Joe Snyder to change anything I would say that I’d love to see more color or design choices in their lace fabrics.  Different, brighter choices and pattern variations would add a lot of diversity to this line.  Give this option a try in your rotation, and I am confident you will be surprised at how much you find yourself liking them!

 

BRAND: Joe Snyder
PAIR: Bulge Bikini
COLORS: The lace line is available in black or white lace.  Other colors available in the line include yellow, wine, white, turquoise, red, purple, black, navy, pink, white mesh, black mesh, royal, metal black, rainbow, nude, and camo
