Jockstrap Central wants you to discover JC Athletic Classic Jockstraps so until Friday, May 5th, they’re offering their already inexpensive JC Athletic Classic Sports Jocks for $1.50 off the regular price.

As you probably know by now, Jockstrap Central launched their own line of sports jockstraps back in March. They did so, partly because it was always part of their bigger plan but partly because of the loss of Bike, Flarico and Activeman. They took our 12 years of experience wearing jockstraps and running Jockstrap Central to create what they feel is the ultimate sports jock. Well, the reviews are in and based on customer reactions and testimonials, their Classics are destined to become, well, classics. Here’s just a few of their customer’s testimonials:

“I got the jock yesterday and I’m wearing it today! It’s so soft and comfy. The waistband sits perfectly and doesn’t feel like it’s cutting into me. The pouch is soft and feels great on my junk. It’s a great jock!” – Chris W., Virginia

“As a working man, your new JC jock is the jock I’ve been waiting for someone to make all my life.” – Dave C, Montana

“Love your JC Athletics jocks! Great quality, durable and *amazing* fit” – John M, California

…along with a whole bunch of their regular customers who bought one, wore it, loved it and immediately bought 5 and even 10 more.

So, if you haven’t already, now’s your chance to pick one up to try them for yourselves. Currently, they have either a 3 inch or Swimmer version and both come in either black or white. Although both have a plushed inside to the waistband it’s more apparent in the 3 Inch Jocks and finally, as they always disliked the excess fabric at the base of most sports jock pouches they contoured theirs so they fit and look better.”

This is an interesting video on 100 Years of men’s underwear. My only issue is now there is a resurgence in briefs more so than trunks. But it’s worth a watch

Well, just when you don’t think you will get any more N2N Bodywear, they release yet another pair. This pair is one you have seen before. It’s the Indy Racer. When I first saw this pair I thought it was a pair of swimwear. I swear it looks just like swim! But it’s not its a brief!

If you are a fan of bikinis this pair is for you. The bikini is making a come back in the general underwear industry. However, N2N Bodywear has always had bikinis. I honestly, can’t remember a time when they didn’t have some sort of bikini. Which is a good thing!

The pair is made out of super soft, light and thin cotton spandex. Making it super comfortable to wearing multiple occasions. It has a full back. I prefer a bikini with a full back and not cut small. Lastly, it has a seamless pouch. Seamless pouches can be good or bad. That being said you don’t have to worry about this with N2N. They are the pouch masters! I think all their pouches fit amazing.

The colors are Mint, Gray, and Navy. I love the Mint! But all three colors are pretty amazing. You can match your style. If you’re looking to show off do the mint. For a little low-key go gray. and to be classic go with Navy.

This month marks the 20th anniversary of N2N Bodywear. We have a lot planned to celebrate. So stay tuned for a month long celebration!

Every once and while, I get a glimpse of my male friend’s underwear, either in the laundry room or when their waistbands are visible. Even in this booming era of underwear marketed towards straight guys, and with increased interest noted in the media, the vast majority are still wearing the same Hanes and Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs that they’ve been wearing for years. This is simply mind-boggling to me.

When I first discovered a brand that wasn’t Hanes or Fruit of the Loom, I switched to that and never looked back. It was easy for me. I understand that others, however, might need to take baby steps on the road towards underwear nirvana. So I’m not advocating for all straight guys to immediately throw out all of their underwear and spend hundreds of dollars to replace it with Andrew Christian. Instead, I believe that every guy needs to start with one high-quality pair and go from there. I would aim for spending $20 on a popular brand like Calvin Klein, MeUndies, Under Armour, or Mack Weldon. There are very few guys new to the underwear world who could pick out a pair from one of these brands and not like it. While this may seem pricey, I’d rather spend $20 on a great pair that will last longer and make me look great compared to $2 on a pair with a waistband that wraps after one washing and isn’t form fitting at all.

Once you’ve realized what you’ve been missing, it’s time to start fixing that underwear drawer. Whenever you feel like you’re able, buy another pair of underwear and throw an old pair out. After a while, if you want to branch out, start looking at trunks and briefs. I’ve found that women like these styles the best because guys usually look best in them, particularly when they’re something beyond whitey tighties. Do some research on different brands and discover the one that’s right for you (UNB can help with that). If you’re a college guy on a budget like I am, it’s still possible to afford better undies. You can check out places like TJ Maxx, where there are usually upscale brands on sale, and CheapUndies, which offers daily deals on great brands.

Together, we can break loose from the chains of Hanes and Fruit of the Loom. Most of us would not wear ill-fitting, cheaply made, or drab clothing, so why would anyone do that with underwear? Guys, step your game up. Your girlfriend will thank you. Your package will thank you. And even your wallet will thank you in the long run.

There has been a lot of discussion about straight guys who love underwear, including thongs, on Underwear News Briefs. While this shouldn’t present a problem in and of itself, telling your girlfriend you like thongs can be a trickier matter. For me, it was a little embarrassing coming clean about wearing thongs when she doesn’t even wear thongs herself.

Out of the blue, I had decided to go all in and wear my favorite Joe Snyder thong to our fourth date. I remember feeling the thong and getting more and more excited about the big reveal as the night went on. When the time came, we continued doing what we had been doing as if nothing changes. This was very heartening and such a relief. Underwear is a big part of my life, so it felt great that I could be now be open with her about it without fear of rejection. Although my thongs were a relatively harmless secret, with that there were no more secrets between us.

After the fact, I asked her what she thought of the thong. She said she already had an idea I had unique tastes in underwear because of my large underwear drawer, so she wasn’t shocked by any means. In addition, she added that since it made my bulge look great, showed off my backside, and was something I liked wearing, she couldn’t complain. I couldn’t have asked for a better reaction.

To any guys in a similar situation, I would say that you should never be afraid to put yourself out there and share your underwear love with you significant other. If they react badly, then the relationship probably wouldn’t work out anyway, because they should like you for who you are, not what you wear. In the end, I realized you should never be embarrassed by your underwear preferences because underwear is meant to be comfortable and stylish.
