Popular Aussie underwear brand 2wink Australia are spicing up their underwear range by adding a new design of briefs to its collection, entitled “BULGE”. The new range sparkle with the help of a metallic waistband with brand name 2wink embroidered in black.
Let’s face it, us guys like to think we have a decent looking bulge when wearing our underwear. The sex appeal in these new briefs is in the design which focuses around the front pouch. It protrudes everything within its grip maximizing the look whilst the cotton/spandex fabric provide the super comfy feel.
2wink added some dazzle by including a metallic waistband that sparkles when captured by light. Adding a sexy look is the small amount of material on the sides, leaving room to expose the thighs.
The Bulge title is well suited to the style of briefs, sex appeal is captured in every angle and certainly designed to attract attention. “We wanted a design for guys to look sexy and for them to show off their body,” says 2wink Australia co-owner Damian Greco.
Each brief retails for around $14.95 AUD (free worldwide shipping included), and are available exclusively online at www.2wink.com.au.
Wear your Stars and Stripes with pride this 4th of July. Wear the USA series from N2N Bodywear. This is the string bikini.
Model: Chandler
Photographer: Taylor Campbell.
It’s Swimwear Sunday! And the Sunday before the 4th of July in the States. I figured we needed something fun and patriotic. Who makes super fun swimwear? N2N Bodywear of course! One of the new lines is the USA line. It’s a set of swim briefs in patriotic prints. A mix of stars and stripes!
We could have chosen a smaller pair but we wanted one more guys would wear so we settled on the USA Sport. Which is a full sized brief. The pair is also in a bikini, string bikini and trunk. For those who want to dare to bare the String Bikini is for you. If you want to go bigger then go with the Trunk.
We mentioned that this is a full sized brief. The sides are 2.5 inches, which is bigger than most swim briefs. It’s perfect for the guy who wants to sport a brief but not show off everything. This pair also has a full back. In swimwear, most guys prefer a full back as opposed to a 3/4 or 1/2 back. To me it’s just more comfortable. On top of that it has a draw string to ensure it stays in place and won’t fall off coming out of the water. Lastly, it’s made out of a 83% nylon 17% spandex blend.
This pair is unlined as well. I don’t think you will show off everything due to this feature. Some pairs are super thin and leaves little to the imagination. During our swim guide shoot this pair didn’t show off everything of Martin’s. But, lined or unlined, is up to to the wearer as to what they are comfrotable wearing.
If you love this pair you can find it on the N2N Bodywear site. It retails for $36 but is on sale for the 4th of July sale. Note by the time you read this it could be off sale. Make sure you go to the N2N Bodywear site to see the entire USA collection.
ES Collection closed the Barcelona Fashion Week with a catwalk presenting its SS 18 swimwear collection on Friday 30th June. The collection’s name is Tropik Glitch. The catalan brand proposes a collection that draws its inspiration from the exuberance of the Amazon Forest, full of life and colours. The explosion of the senses obtained by this collection is rendered by the intensity of the colours used. “Glitch” is a kind of « error » or visual blur that gives a digital appearance to the prints.The result of this new technique of artistic expression is a very modern vision of tropical prints.
Thanks to Studio Retail for sharing these pics with us!
2EROS released the new Erebus line. We wrote up the Erebus line last week. See our post and find out more about this line.
I”m running a bit behind on reporting the results. Coming down with Bronchitis for about two months made me not want to touch Excel to do the tabulations. There is still much more to do but here are the initial results. I hope you’re ready for an amazing slide show of graphs! Graphs are super exciting and sexy… NOT. But here is your peek in the other readers underwear drawers.
Most guys have 20-70 pairs in their collections. Which makes up about 50% of our readers. However, we have 21% who have 150 pairs or more. This number shows we have some underwear super fans!
How often do you guys buy underwear? The results are much of what I expected. It’s every few weeks to months almost ties every few months. Very few of you guys buy weekly.
How do you buy Underwear? Do you buy it on sale, at regular price? We are curious. Most of you buy a mix of on sale and at regular price. That’s the way I buy it. If it’s a pair or brand I really want or like. I will pay full price. Sales are important to you guys but not the only factor.
What is your favorite style to wear? This year we gave you a few options to choose from. Again the briefs and bikinis rank as the top two pairs. However, thongs have come up big this year and is a close third. If this keeps up they will overtake bikinis. Also, Jocks were high on the list. It surprised me it was so high.
What do you wear on a regular basis? This is what do you wear and what’s in your collection. It almost mirrors the one above. The boxer brief is higher in this than favorite styles. But Briefs still are the top style.
Do you wear more than one pair a day? 44% of you guys said you do. We will be talking more about this in a future post. We asked why you do or do not wear more than one pair a day.
Who Influences your buying decisions? I’m happy to see Underwear blogs. We try to expose you to new brands and styles. But Brands from emails and significant other rounds our the top 3. I’m a little surprised that reviews didn’t rank higher.
Has UNB influenced your buying decisions? This is something we have heard anecdotally but not directly from readers at large. It was great to see that 75% of you said we influence what you buy. We will go into more detail soon and hope to keep influencing you guys.
Where do you buy your underwear? We changed up this question this year. Instead of asking you on a scale we just wanted to know which you shop. Most of you shop online via an online store or brand site. They were by in large the two biggers. Also you guys like discount sites like Cheapundies. The department store number was higher than I remember. But you can get some good undies there.
Have you ever worn a swim brief? You guys really are taking the UNB Swim Brief Challenge. The number is going up. More of you say you wear them all the time. Also, more say you wear them at private pools. And coming in third were guys who want to wear them. We are going to continue this and share great swimwear with you.
What swimwear do you wear? Most of you wear trunks and shorts. While over 1/4 wear swim briefs. We are glad only 19% wear board shorts. We are accomplishing out goal. Also, more are wearing swim thongs.
What type of models do you want to see. Most want to see a mix of real, up and coming and professional odels. While a big group want to see real guys. We are working on that more and more. This has remained unchanged in the last few years.
What challenges do you face loving undies? This is changing more are reporting none. It seems slowly the world of men’s underewar is becoming something that is normal.
Lastly, what fetishwear do you guys like? Most like spandex and singlets, followed by leather and Lingerie or lace. We will cover these more this year. But we want to hear from you guys when we do!
Here are the overall results. We hope you enjoy this look at your fellow UNB’ers underwear drawer.
Before I get started with the post here is the info about this video:
At Broadway Bares 2017, a shirts-versus-skins lacrosse scrimmage heated up the stage when Anastasia‘s Kyle Brown coached a crew of sweaty, muscled men. Ericka Hunter and Katie Webber gave the game co-ed flair as they strutted and stripped their protective gear in the athletic number. “Scrimmage” was choreographed by Charlie Sutton.
Produced by and benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Broadway Bares: Strip U raised $1,568,114 in two performances on June 18, 2017 at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom. Broadway Bares: Strip U was directed by Nick Kenkel, who also created the Strip U concept.

Performers: Kyle Brown, Cameron Burke, Josh Cotham, Ericka Hunter, Ryan Jackson, Justin Mock, Jamie Patterson, Pedro Rangel, Paul Romero Jr., Demetrius Shields, Cameron Turner, Chris VanDenhende and Katie WebberBroadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources, and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 BC/EFA has raised more than $285 million for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.
I have been following Broadway Bares for a few years. BB for short, is a show where broadway actors/dancers put on to raise money for AIDS/HIV charities. As the name suggests the stars get naked by the end. But before they do they usually strip down to a jock or thong.
The reason I like it is, the show is just fun. It’s sexy and it shows how underwear in a good light. It shows that thongs and jocks are sexy and should be worn. I think if we had more shows that do this we would have greater acceptance in underwear in general across the general public. This is just my opinion. And great job this year to Broadway Bares!
If you like the video go to the Broadway Bares YouTube channel to see more videos from this year or previous years.

We are super excited to announce that one of your favorite models for our UNB Guides is coming on to create some awesome video reviews. Martin, last seen in our swimwear guide, will be doing some of the most creative reviews we have ever done! The first brand getting the video reviews is Garçon Model. More to come soon!
We’ve covered styles, tips for buying, and fabrics to look for with a thong. Now that you have some guidence of what to look for in a thong, it’s time to go shopping. Where to shop you ask? Most of us only have one option for this which is the Internet. Guess there is still some mail ordering available, but by now they have their own websites too. If you are lucky you could have a men’s underwear store within driving distance.
If you are close enough to a men’s underwear store then that would be the ideal place to shop for a thong. Being able to physically see the thong will help you with the decision. You can feel how soft the fabric is, compare thongs to each other, see the width and thickness of the tail. Another bonus is you’ll have a salesperson that knows underwear if you have any questions.
With online shopping it is going to be more researching. You’ll read product description, fabric content, and product reviews on retailers’ websites. Then you also should look for third party reviews to gather more information. Look for what they say about fit, comfort, fabric softness. See if they barely notice they’re wearing a thong when wearing the pair. Use all the information you can gather to help make the decision. You can always reach out to us at UNB if you have any general questions or one about a particular thong. We’ll do our best to guide you in the right direction.
To get the most exposure to a variety of thongs it’s best to look at retailer websites over just a brand’s website. Once you find a brand of interest you can always go check out the brand’s website. Here’s some online retailers you can check out that have a variety of brands of thongs.
From the UK, there is Deadgoodundies.com. They carry about a dozen brands who have thongs.
Mensunderwearstore.com is a US retailer. They carry about a dozen brands with thongs.
Another US retailer is International Jock. They have a selection of 20 brands that have thongs.
DUGG is an Australian based retailer who carries 10 brands of thongs.
Here’s a more extensive list of underwear online retailers.
Check out the map we have of places to buy in person.
Save money, celebrate America and support U.S. businesses and jobs at International Jock during their “Made in the USA” Sale! For a limited time, popular men’s clothing brands which are manufactured in the USA are 25% off. Your clothing says a lot about you, but did you think to check the label? Where your underwear and swimwear is made makes a big difference and what better time than Independence Day to buy domestic?
International Jock carries brands from all over the world but has always made it a point to seek out and support U.S. manufacturers. With hot-selling men’s swimwear brands like N2N Bodywear, American Jock, Go Softwear, Sauvage, Marco Marco and LA Sporting Club, International Jock’s “Made in the USA” sale makes it easier than ever show your patriotism by supporting companies that keep their workers employed right here in the USA.
So head on over to the International Jock “Made in the USA” Sale and remember: when you pull on your favorite American underwear, you’re supporting more than what’s between your legs.
Do you miss our video reviews? If so, your wait is over. Martin, who you have seen in several UNB shoots is going to take over the reigns of the video reviews and they will be out very soon. Up first is Garcon Model!
Running an underwear blog I get asked my opinion all the time about underwear. This can be people on social media or friends. Most of the time they are asking about what they should start on or what briefs/thongs they should wear. Very few talk jocks to me. This got me thinking I should share one of my favorite jocks of all time.
The Cocksox CX21 Jockstrap is probably one of my favorite jocks of all time. The first reason is the amazing Cocksox pouch. The support it gives is amazing and yeah it shows off a little. Regardless of sexual orientation, we want our underwear to show off our manhood. Next is the design. It has a regular waistband with smaller leg straps. The bonus to me about the leg straps is that they don’t get as twisted throughout the day like the bigger ones can. There is nothing worse than a twisted leg strap on a jock throughout the day.
You may be asking if you can wear these to be active in. After all, jocks are made for working out and sports. My answer is yes you can wear this. It can be worn at the gym, playing sports or running. I have worn this to play softball at one time. I couldn’t find my UA jock and wore this one. It performed amazingly. In fact, I wore it a few time that year. It didn’t fit well with a cup. Yes, I tried it. Now if you wore compression shorts over it would work. But that was too damn bulky for me. I prefer just a jock when I played softball.
The very last thing is the fabric. It feels great against the skin and breathing. This is a fashion jock, not really designed for performance, but it did pretty well for me. I would recommend it to anyone needing a jock to wear for any occasion. It’s amazing to put it short
It appears they maybe refreshing the Jocks (or that’s my hope) you can get the Metalic jock, the CX21MT in gold/black or silver/white. The CX21N is on “Last chance.” But I give this a big thumbs up and a must for guys.
We are planning some great things here at UNB! To stay up to date you should join out email list. Other than content we like to give our email list a heads up on contests, guides and more! Plus we will announce some great things via this as well.
We will start doing “This week at UNB” to showcase a few post you may have missed over the week. We have done it before but this time we will do it Every Sunday Night/Monday. It will show the top 5 posts of the week. We know not everyone reads the blog every day.
Lastly, We are working on something BIG and I hope it comes to pass very soon. It will depend on the email list! Make sure you sign up below!
Today is Jockstrap Wednesday. It’s a great day when the classic jocks are back. The Meyer aka Bike #10 Jockstrap. They are available at Jockstrap Central Now!

College guys have begun to branch out and try all different brands, styles, and fits of underwear. One variety that hasn’t caught on with younger guys as much as it has in other communities, however, is the brief. A recent poll from AskMen found that only 16% of men wore briefs, and judging from my experience, this number is even lower for college-aged men. Despite it being one of my favorite varieties of underwear, other guys my age don’t seem to want to give it a shot due to a combination of the perception that they’re like tighty whities or that they’re too skimpy.
To address the tighty whitie complaint, this couldn’t be further from the truth, and that becomes clear the second you start doing any research. Of course, the underwear aisle at Target might be filled with similar pairs to what guys wore as kids, but that is not representative of the larger market. One reason that tighty whities are so maligned is that they sometimes rise up close to your belly button and are baggy. Low rise briefs completely negate both of these problems. They sit right at your waist and the less material ensures they are form fitting and don’t stretch out in weird places. Then, of course, there’s the white part, and this isn’t a problem because most good brands have a wide variety of colors to choose from, from sleek black to bright blue.
Even when guys are aware of these better briefs, some complain that they’re too skimpy. The extra coverage of boxer briefs is great sometimes, but if you want to dress to impress, briefs are the only way to go. From experience, I know that girls like them even more because it makes your bulge and rear end look better. Considering probably no one else would care about what underwear you wear, this is an obvious pro to wearing briefs. Once you get used to the skimpiness, it is a great experience that you might never look back from.
I hope my fellow college guys will catch on to this.
This week the $12 Tuesday pair is the Billy Boy brief. The brief you may be familiar with because it has a built-in pocket to keep you protected in times of needs. Baskit teamed up with Billy Boy condoms to make this brief. They say “built-in condom pocket included…because you never know when things are going to get interesting.”
Remember, it’s only on sale until midnight. Don’t miss the deal! Regularly $21! Get the Billy Boy Brief at the Baskit site.
Looking for something on the wild side? One brand we love at UNB is Maskulo! They are an amazing brand out of Russia that creates great fetishwear!
2EROS has released a new series called Erebus. Which is one of the coolest lines they have produced. Each collection 2EROS seems to keep building on design and making better and better underwear. This line continues the 2EROS design dynasty.Erebus is inspired by the Greek god of darkness and shadow. It is designed with beautifully constructed panelling combined with deep colours to evoke your dark side. It is designed to perform all day with premium sweat wicking tactel fabric to keep you cool and sweat free for longer. This is combined with a 4 way stretch mesh to allow maximum mobility and comfort. It is fitted to give a slimming silhouette and to show off assets and features the 2EROS CURV technology to contour, shape and support you in all the right ways. It also creates a contact-less support to reduce chaffing and sweating.
The prices of the line range from $31.95 to $36.95 AUD. 2EROS makes amazing quality in their underwear and we can guarantee that you will love them. They can be purchased directly from the 2EROS site. They will be available in the states at other retailers as well.
Looking for something new and fun? Make sure you check out the Baskit X Brief. It’s designed to give you some amazing support and look pretty hot while doing it.
This underwear was furnished for review by Bia Bora.
These were a surprise when I received the package because I didn’t know what was coming and I had also never heard of this brand. I am always game to try new underwear so I was excited to try something new! The trunks came in a box with a peek-a-boo cut out hinting at the contents in the front and the back shows a man’s body with an elephant head which is linked to the spirit animal of this pair. By choosing these, it says you stand strong, bulldoze obstacles and that you’re a determined leader. A bit strange but I appreciated something different and the details that simply went into the packaging.
Once I pulled the pair out, I noticed the super soft bamboo cotton in a nice, purple color. There are panels on the front with an Aztec pattern that are a silky poly/spandex material. These are 65% Bamboo Rayon, 25% Polyester, 5% Nylon & 5% Spandex. Trunks aren’t my favorite cut of underwear and wild patterns aren’t my first choice, either, but the initial feeling when I pulled these on was a comfortable one so I was ready to have an open mind.
The medium covers a 30-32″ waist which was just right for me as a 31-32. There is a bit of a pouch but nothing too dramatic to where it affects sizing. Buying based on your true size should work just fine in this case.
It has been HOT here in Los Angeles so I knew these would be put to the sweat test! They were soft and comfortable when I got dressed and I am happy to say they stayed that was throughout the workday and errands after. Only minor pulling at the legs to readjust but I have that issue with all trunks/boxer briefs. This trunk definitely took on the hot day and the material held up well against moisture and dried pretty quickly once I cooled off at home. The soft waistband is on the larger side with Bia Boro proudly written across the front along with a branded tag facing out in the back. The gray side panels and elastic on the legs adds interest on the edge of being too busy, but that’s just my opinion.
I would definitely try another pair from Bia Boro – especially if they would start making a brief! As of now, it seems they only have boxer briefs and trunks. All of the prints are loud and busy, which isn’t a bad thing since most men’s underwear is boring, but it definitely has to be your style. Overall, a great first impression and a new brand to keep my eye on.
Check out all the trunk designs Bia Bora offers.
There was a time when men’s underwear were for men and women’s underwear was for women. The two were designed differently and very few things were used in each design. Over the last few years, we have seen a big shift in the design of men’s underwear. Fabrics and designs that were considered feminine were now being used in the creation of underwear. Now the lines just seem to blur.
The fabric is the biggest change in men’s underwear. It was only cotton, nylon and spandex blends for the longest time. Every so often you would see a silk boxer or maybe bikini. Then we got brands using lace and satin to create men’s underwear. These were two fabrics for women’s lingerie, not masculine men’s underwear.
Brands such as MaleBasics and BodyAware lead the way in this revolution. They weren’t afraid to reimagine men’s underwear. Giving it a bit of a “softer” side. MaleBasics was the first I saw doing a men’s lingerie brand. They were inspired by the women’s world. I found it really interesting that they were doing something outside the box. This was in 2010ish. They were way ahead on the trend that I would say didn’t really come to the forefront till about 2012-2013
BodyAware is one that I think took the trend and ran with it. They have a mix of what you would call masculine and feminine. At first, I looked at them and through they would be a niche player but in the last few years, I hear more and more guys talk about how they love BodyAware. From experience, they make damn good underwear. It’s sexy and fun, exactly what men’s underwear should be.
Who are the guys embracing this underwear? It’s not along sexual orientation lines. It’s as diverse as our readers. It’s gay/straight/bi guys who make up the fans. Guys that want to feel sexy and really don’t give a fuck about what you think of their underwear. Plus I think the mixing of the masculine and feminine is pretty darn sexy. It’s the two things being mixed together that is awesome. But this is an area that you either love or hate. There isn’t many in between.
Underwear is about being who you are. You can wear what you want and no one has to know. If you want to sport a lace brief under a suit, DO IT! Or if you want to wear a bikini to class in cargo shorts, do it! Underwear is about expressing your personality. Wear what you want! If you love lace or satin, rock them with confidence!
The picture featured is the awesome Eminence Tanga from BodyAware.
