Men’s Underwear

Category

Bear Skn, the brand making comfortable underwear for men of size just launched a new collection for summer. They took all the best features of their other products and combined them for new bamboo drawers with sizes to 6X.

Whether you’re a traditionalist who likes the old school brief, or a fan of the boxer brief, you’ll find something here that works for you. Choose from green, red, or blue (greenery, river blue, or tangerine), as well as striped or solid patterns, and you’re good to go.

Knowing that fit is vital to big guys, they focused on making sure that no matter what you’re doing in their underwear, you’ll always be comfortable.

[The new brief offers] 4-way stretch and is form-fitting, but does not constrict at all. It’s also cool to the touch, ultra breathable, moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and generally amazing.

It’s also tagless, which means no scratchy badness to deal with. The new Bear Skn bamboo collection starts at $19.99 and $22.99 for solid briefs and boxer briefs, respectively, and $24.99 for the striped versions. Three packs are also available.

Andrew Christian furnished a brief from its “Massive Icon” collection for review.

Rating9.6/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 10/10

Pros:

  • 4-way stretch fabric (90% polyamide, 10% spandex) provides all-day comfort
  • Pouch enhances your profile better & is more comfortable than AC’s “Show It” collection
  • Fabric’s unusual pattern makes this brief a must-have winner

Cons:

  • Leg bands are slightly tighter than other AC products
  • The pouch initially seems like it will provide less room area than found in the “Almost Naked” line, but the 4-way stretch fabric overcomes this deficiency
  • This limited edition brief will sell out quickly

Osgon’s Recommendation:  A Strong Buy!

I’ve loved Andrew Christian products for years, as evidenced by dresser drawers filled with AC boxer briefs, briefs, jock straps, thongs, and swimwear.  I also own several items of AC athletic wear (and even a sweater).  So imagine my excitement when UNB Tim asked me to review the new Icon brief from AC’s “Massive” collection.

My test involved a day of running errands, putting together a new aquarium, and a brief stint outdoors.  These events provided opportunities to bend, squat, lean, lunge, lift, stand, walk, and – not surprisingly in this Texas heat – sweat.  The fabric and construction of the garment were up to the task, and the brief performed exceedingly well.  The brief held my kibbles and bits firmly in place, without even the slightest need to readjust.  Everything also stayed nice and dry due to the moisture wicking properties of the polyamide-spandex blend fabric.  The unusual, limited-edition print provided visual novelty.  I hope AC continues providing similar forward-leaning fabric patterns in future editions of its “Massive” collection.

I have only two criticisms of this brief.  First, I’m a huge fan of AC’s “Almost Naked” collection, and this brief has only about ninety percent of the initial roominess of cotton versions of the Almost Naked line.  Rather than have everything fall comfortably into the pouch when slipping on this underwear, one has to place one’s equipment into the pouch.  It’s not a deal breaker, but it is something that was unexpected.  Second, the leg elastic was tighter than that found in most other AC products.  It was not uncomfortable, but it was slightly tighter.  I don’t feel either criticism warrants purchasing a larger size, but each merits your consideration.

In sum, I loved the Icon brief from AC’s new Massive collection.  Any guy who enjoys an unusual pattern and the anatomically correct pouch will be happy he added this brief to his top drawer rotation.

At last check, AC does not have this brief available at its official online store.  A jock strap is available there.  A google search shows other online stores have the brief in stock.  If you like this pattern, order it A.S.A.P.; you won’t be disappointed.

Everything is hotter in rubber!

Gear up at the speed of sound with Cellblock 13’s Sonic Collection, quite possibly the hottest and most visually stunning fetish gear we’ve seen (and we’ve seen a LOT!). The unique ribbed neoprene rubber (more on that below) is so slick and edgy we’re calling it future fetish wear. Of course a collection this awesome deserves an equally awesome model so we called on our latest, Simon, to show it all off – and when we say show it off, we mean it. Don’t invite your mother to the spectacle.

The Sonic collection consists of a pouch “jockstrap”, a harness and matching wrist cuffs, all in the above mentioned neoprene in black with contrasting detailing in all your favorite fetish colors. Here’s the details:

Cellblock 13 Sonic Pouch Jockstrap

This formed 3D contoured pouch is made with a stunning ribbed black neoprene on the outside with a foamed inside for comfort (your junk will love you for it!) Between the ribbing and contouring you’ll always be bulging to perfection like a cod piece effect. Contrasting piping in either dark grey, white, blue or red not only add a visual punch but end up highlighting your bulge.

Defying gravity: Although the “jock” has leg straps, there’s no waistband to keep it all secure but don’t worry, just attach a harness to keep it from falling down around your ankles (unless of course that’s what you want). The straps are one inch wide and made of a heavy duty elastic in black with repeating Cellblock 13 woven into it in the contrasting color. Both straps are split by two black metal rings which not only look good but provide a place to hook up the harnesses’ swivel snap hooks.

Cellblock 13 Sonic Harness

Designed to show off your back and your chest, this harness is a must have item. Wear it with the Sonic Pouch or simply hook it up to the belt loops of your favorite pair of jeans. Consists of a series of one and half inch wide straps made with the same incredible stretchy neoprene rubber as the pouch, also with the soft foam backing.

All the straps are edged with contrasting piping for visual effect. A single strap runs between your shoulder blades hooking up to two large metal D rings on each side. Two straps then run from the D ring, one over the shoulder and one under the armpit to meet up front with a metal ring that sits just to the side and below your pecs. Finally, straps run from the front rings down your body looping around two black metal swivel hooks and snap back unto itself. Between the natural stretch of the neoprene straps and the three sizing snaps you can be assured a perfect fit. Also worth a mention – because Cellblock 13 is all about the details, the backing of the metal snaps are in black.

Cellblock 13 Sonic Cuffs

To complete your Sonic look (or simply wear with your favorite pair of jeans), Cellblock 13 has you covered… well at least your wrists. The Sonic Cuffs are ribbed neoprene wristbands with a welcome inner soft foam backing. They’re around five and half inches long. The ribbing running lengthwise down your forearm and the contrasting stitching running around the top, bottom and single stripe down the length make a visual impact.

Each Sonic item is sold separately and although the pouch technically can’t be worn without a harness, not just the Sonic Harness will work. Most Cellblock 13 harnesses including the X-treme Hybrid Harness from our previous Cellblock 13 Collection (still available) will do the trick.

One thing lately that I have become obsessed with are Flamingos. I don’t know what it is about them over the last six months but I am loving everything flamingo. While surfing through the Andrew Christian site I spotted something that mixes two of my favorite things. Flamingos of course and the Almost Naked pouch. To me, this is hands down the best pouch in the Andrew Christian line up. It’s always been my favorite, not to knock the other pouches but the Almost Naked just fits me amazingly.

If you happen to be like me and are loving flamingos, this print is available in a jock and a brief. It’s in the category that I”m not sure which one to get, but I may have to break down and get both styles. The print is an aqua color with black horizontal stripes and Flamingos placed through out. It’s totally tropic/Miami looking to me. Top that with the black waistband and trim and I’m sold!

This is what the AC site says about the pair:

“Oh My” are probably the words that come to mind? Introducing one of the cutest prints ever seen, the limited edition Almost Naked Flamingo Brief. This one of a kind brief features dark contrast trim on vibrant aqua color fabric with bright pink flamingo print & black stripe details. The signature Andrew Christian slimming waistband, the classic laurel cross flag, and it’s flattering slim fit will make this pair your absolute go-to on any given night,”

Don’t wait around too long! This is a limited edition print and better get it early. I am in the same boat, I will have to break out the wallet and get it. The Fabric Content: 90%POLYAMIDE 10%SPANDEX. The brief retails for $18 and the Jock retails for $16. Both are reasonably priced.

If you are interested in the Flamingo Brief or Flamingo Jock, head to the Andrew Christian site now! Don’t wait.

When you think of great men’s underwear. I would bet N2N Bodywear is one that is high on many of our reader’s list. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the brand. We get a chance to interview Andrew Makay on the last 20 years and what the future holds! We will link to other interviews we have done for a bit more history. We will try not to cover the things we have asked before.

We have interviewed you a few times Andrew. When you started the journey into the men’s underwear market did you picture you would be doing this 20 years later?

Haha…absolutely not…I decided to take a break from acting, having just come off the national tour of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”. Thought I’d take a stab at this gloried hobby of mine…well, the rest is history…haha

You are not only an icon in the gay market but also the straight underwear lover. Why do you think that both gay and straight have embraced the brand?

I have designed every pair of underwear off my body. If it’s not comfy…it doesn’t get made. If the fit is not right, it doesn’t get made. I don’t think it matters if you’re gay or straight..GUYS like underwear that fits well, is comfortable and flatters the male form.

Has this been the key to the success of N2N Bodywear?

I’d say yes. Also, the fact that I don’t jump on what’s hot or “the next best thing” …I design pretty organically. I get inspired and it gets designed.

One question I have meant to ask, how did you create the N-hance pouch? This has to be one of the top 5 pouches in men’s underwear. Did you know had something incredible when it was created? If not when did you know?

Again, since I designed everything off me, I created a pattern and style that made me look really good. Enhancing what I already had….showed me off better than anything I found at the time…I had a feeling the guys would like it too!

What have been the highlights over the last 20 years? What have been your best sellers? Best Models? Biggest celebrities wearing N2N?

I’d say one of the biggest highlights was a few years ago when Neil Patrick Harris said his favorite underwear at the time was N2N! That was in Vanity Fair…pretty awesome! I was the premier underwear brand for the grand opening of Cirque de Soleil’s first gay night at LIGHT nightclub in Las Vegas. That was spectacular! The fact that I had William Gutierrez AKA William Levy, biggest Latin soap opera star as a model was pretty darn cool. Along with him was Alan Ritchson, who went on to become a celebrity. To identify the most popular collections is easy as looking at the site and seeing what has been there for over 5 years…the NET COLLECTION and the CLASSIC COTTON COLLECTION are two that have been consistent in their sales and popularity.

The 2017 collection, you told me you would be releasing things through out the year. What can we expect out of this collection? What surprises do you have in store for die hard N2N Fans?

We have been doing a rollout of a collection this year to try something different. Keeps the website fresh. Very shortly an underwear collection will be released much to the pleasure of many fans. It is a take on a very popular and requested collection I discontinued a while ago. it is the Mohave Spring Collection. A slightly tweaked yet more colorful version of the older style.

Over the years you have been known for your prints, even before the recent trend in men’s underwear. Why do you use prints? How do you find such awesome prints?

I use prints because I get a little tired of solids, to be honest haha. There are so many different kinds of prints available, it’s nice to take a chance on them and get creative. I say take a chance because historically prints are a slower seller than the safe option of solids. I have fabric vendor that show me what new prints are in stock. Sometimes I will randomly find ones that I just have to use. I like when that happens…again, very organic and spontaneous.

Each year you come up with creative fun to wear styles in the erotic wear. Why is designing eroticwear so important to who N2N?

The erotic collection has always been a staple and an important part of N2n’s repertoire. I was always intrigued by the erotic fashions available but would never wear them myself. I designed items that I found sexy, that I would wear. Styles that could not be found…unique enough to garnish attention from even hardcore enthusiasts.

NOTE: Andrew is one of my all favorite people in the men’s underwear world. He has always supported UNB and everything we have done. I want to personally congratulate him for 20 years making amazing underwear and gear.

You Guys love thongs. It’s one thing that we get more comments on when we run posts. More votes when we run polls. They are becoming one of the biggest things in men’s underwear. Last week we asked you if you wanted to or have worn a swim thong before. We gave a few choices including public, private and not at all. Here is how you guys voted

A large percentage of you guys want to wear a swim thong. Which didn’t surprise me. The 22% who have already worn them in public did! Awesome guys. Then we had 22% who have no desire to wear one. We say to each their own at UNB. Not everyone is a fan.

Now we want you guys who have worn the to share your experience and inspire guys to put them on! If you have worn them Share your experience!

Being the editor of an underwear blog, I have to be open-minded and willing to try anything. I have tried some interesting things over the almost 9 years of UNB. From the not so crazy (thongs and jocks), to more cutting edge (Lace and Satin) to some really fun fetishwear. I”m usually up for anything.

Just recently I want to try a body suit. Not just any body suits but one from BodyAware. I don’t know why I have this sudden urge to wear one. I have never worn one but have seen many suits over my life. The ones that have caught my eye have been those with a jock or thong background. I think this may stem from me wanting a men’s gymnastic suit (the one they wear under the pants and shorts) when I was younger. I always thought they were awesome.

BodyAware has more of the Thong back bodysuits. I’m not sure I could wear one all day. But the Modern Jock Bodysuit (pictured above) is one I would love to try out. The bodysuit has one drawback, it’s difficult to go to the bathroom. Most I have seen you have to take completely off, which makes it impractical for everyday or work wear. I mean they would look at little strange at you at work, at the urinal taking off your shirt.

A bodysuit is something that would be a limited war situation. Like out to a movie or something low key. I don’t want to wear it all day and all night. This one I find super sexy because of the black color. Black is super sexy and they tell me slimming. Also, it looks amazing. Granted, I won’t look like the model in it but wearing under a button up shirt would be great. Because, your undershirt aka bodysuit, wouldn’t ride up or come untucked. This is one of the biggest advantages for me. Being a bigger guy in size and height. It can be a pain to have to constantly tuck in my shirt. Lastly, the jock back gives it a bit of a naughty feel to me, which is a good thing. Just will give me that extra bounce in my step.

I’m still debating what I want, but I will keep you guys posted. If you think I should try another let me know in the comments below. Or if you have tried them now let me know how you like them!
