Swimwear Sunday – JOR Sunny Swim Thong

4 Comments

If you would have told me there would be a certain sector of guys who would go crazy over swim thongs. I would have thought you were crazy a few years ago. But over the last year, we have seen growth in the swim thong market. Not only from gay guys but straight guys. YES, straight guys are going suns out buns out for summer. We are reaching a point where underwear/swimwear is no longer gay. It’s for all guys.

Today we chose the JOR Sunny Swim thong. It’s going to be in our Swimwear Guide (we shot it yesterday) and available in solids and prints. One color it is available in is Fuchsia. I mean if you’re going to rock the thong why now announce it to everyone around! Say, you’re less included to shout it out they also have it in black and white. But really, wearing a thong on the beach will bring attention in the US.

JOR has been one of the companies that have embraced the swim thong. They have been making them in every collection for the last year or more. Each collection they seem to release more and more swim thongs. That means you guys are buying them and wearing them. I think we still have a ways to go to get more on the beach but hey, it’s a start.

If you want to try a swim thong. We think this pair will be an awesome first pair. It’s not too small or too big but just right. If you already wear a bikini why not take the next step and thong it on the beach or private pool! We say go for it and rock it proud

BRAND: JOR
PAIR: Sunny Swim Thong 0427
COLORS: Black, Fuchsia, White, Grey Print, and Yellow Print
FABRIC: 84%NYLON 16%SPANDEX
SIZES: Small  – XL
COST: $41.60

New 2EROS Pro Aktiv Underwear – Designed to Perform

1 Comment

Pro Aktiv is 2EROS’s active underwear range. Pro Aktiv focuses on form and function which makes them perfect for any occasion. It features the iconic 2EROS CURV and a single layered pouch, which contours and shapes all your assets in a natural way. This also creates a ‘contact-less’ support to reduce chaffing and sweating, giving you the right amount of support and mobility.

Pro Aktiv is designed using a variety of premium fabrics from premium sweat-wicking Tactel and a 4-way stretch mesh to keep you cool and dry.

The new line is available in three different styles. The brief, trunk and jock. The two color combinations are titanium and platinum. Both colors are really fun and perfect the active guy. Even the waistband match the pair! What’s not to love about that.

I dare say that this is an ergonomic pouch. The description above says the pouch will let contour and shape to your assets in a natural way. More and more brands are paying attention to the pouch. As the industry grows it’s becoming increasingly important to men that they feel as great as they look.

The Pricing for the line is:

  • Brief – $33.95 AUD
  • Jock – $29.95 AUD

The Best Underwear to Wear When Working Out

No Comments

As a college guy, it’s important to me to stay fit. I’ve experimented with a lot of different pairs when going to the gym, and have realized not all are created equal. In addition, I’ve found that certain pairs are better for certain exercises. The following lists what underwear I recommend you should wear to maximize your gains and get swole.

Strength Training: Aussiebum Wonderjock Pro Jock

When lifting weights, it’s important to have support, not have your junk swinging everywhere, and have a full range of motion for exercises like squats. That’s why I always go with a jockstrap. Although some guys are turning away from the jockstrap for workouts, it was the tried and true choice of guys exercising for decades, so there’s obviously a reason for that. I’m especially partial to the Aussiebum Wonderjock Pro, which is more comfortable and supportive than any on the market today. It’s integrated with 90% cotton and 10% elastane, which is soft and able to handle excess moisture. It’s very affordable even being shipped from Australia, which is a major plus for me. The extra lift from their patented pouch enhancing technology is the secret weapon, because it will definitely give you a confidence boost in the gym. Guys will probably stare in the locker room!

Endurance Training: Saxx Kinetic Boxer Brief

I’ve found that a lot of guys focus too much on pumping iron and ignore endurance training. This can include things like spinning, Zumba, or high-intensity dancing. Doing these types of exercises can improve your cardiovascular, muscular, and respiratory endurance, allowing you to withstand pain and fatigue. To do this, it’s crucial to have the right pair of underwear, especially one that can deal with sweat. Saxx is one of my favorite brands, and they make a pair specifically designed for high-output activities. The Kinetic Boxer Brief is loaded with patented technology like the BallPark pouch, antimicrobial technology, and Three-D Fit, which is form-fitting around the glutes, thighs, quads and hamstrings. Since it’s 90% nylon and 10% spandex, it’s moisture-wicking and quick-drying. You can’t go wrong with this pair for really any type of intense workout.

Core Workout: BaskitWear Active Jockbrief

Ab workouts are by far my favorite day of my workout rotation. My go to pair for these workouts is a jockbrief from Baskit. This line is specially made for active guys, and I like the jockbrief style because it has the same level of support and comfort of a brief but offers extra freedom to move. I actually have it in all three colors, Super White, Navy Blue, and Cement, because it allows me to wear this same pair every core day if I haven’t done laundry. It’s 90% Micro Modal and 10% elastane, a classic blend for workouts. Perhaps my favorite aspect is how the colors and waistband are inspired by those shorts worn by boxers in the early twentieth century.

Straight Guys and Andrew Christian – A Straight Guy’s Take

5 Comments

It’s no secret that Andrew Christian has a reputation for being a brand geared towards gay men. Just open their site and you’re bombarded with pictures of chiseled models wearing skimpy underwear that showcases their prominent bulges. For the average straight guy, this makes it difficult to shop on the site, and wearing their underwear carries the same issues. I don’t fault anyone for that because as I’m writing this article, their website homepage has a photo of a guy in a cage wearing only a jockstrap being fondled by other similarly clad men. Irrespective of their marketing, Andrew Christian makes some of the most innovative, comfortable, and stylish underwear on the market today that anyone, gay or straight, would like if they gave it a chance.

A few years ago, there was a video on YouTube called “Straight Guys React to Andrew Christian Underwear.” There were the predictable confusion and giggles regarding some of the more exotic pairs, but interestingly some said they would wear it if their girlfriend wanted them to. Another comment that stuck out to me was a frat guy who said he could see some of his brothers wearing a pair like this because it would show they’re confident in their masculinity and that they’re an alpha. Indeed, their line of Trophy Boy underwear would reflect just that.

When I first tried a pair, it was a completely positive experience. It was a blue Almost Naked brief, about as conservative as they come with this brand. The design and cut made me feel bigger down there and my package was no longer squeezed or pressed against my body. I had never worn underwear as comfortable and undeniably sexy as that pair. At that point, I could have continued with the attitude that Andrew Christian is a gay brand and so I shouldn’t be wearing it, or I could have been rational and realized that their products are amazing. I decided to go with the latter and haven’t looked back since. If I had gone with the former, I would have just been contributing to homophobia and not allowing myself to be comfortable. My girlfriend also likes the brand, so has regularly picked out pairs she likes for me to wear. If you want to take the first step, you can buy Andrew Christian on Amazon in order to avoid going on their website if it makes you uncomfortable.

Hopefully, my fellow straight guys can get over this stigma. Wearing Andrew Christian cannot make a straight guy gay. In fact, the only thing it can make a straight guy is sexier.

Underwear 101 – What is an Erognomical Pouch?

2 Comments

We have all kinds of readers of UNB. Those who have been into underwear for years and have 100’s if not thousand pairs. On the other hand we have guys, of all ages, who just discovered underwear. Underwear 101 is a series we have to address some of the questions guys have about underwear. For our more experienced readers, they may not read them but we hope it helps other guys discover more underwear.

What is an ergonoical pouch?

You may have heard this on UNB. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard it a lot on UNB. Most of our guys love this kind of pouch. Men’s underwear comes in a few different pouches. First, there are pairs with no pouch. The front is one piece of fabric with no seam or designed pouch. The best example of this is Jockey Elance bikinis. The next is a what I call a contoured pouch. It’s a pouch built into underwear. It usually has a front seam in the design and is made to give you support. Brands like Clever Moda have this type of design.

Lastly, is the ergonomical pouch. It’s designed to fit a guy and how he naturally hangs. There are several types of pouches. Some of them enhance while others give a natural feel to the pouch. These usually have a lot of research and design behind them. As I said above not all pouches are the same. It’s important to find what you like best.

For example, Ergowear has three different pouches. The X3D, Feel and Max. I love all ut the Feel. It’s not that it’s a bad design, In fact, it’s pretty awesome design and it has fans. I don’t like it due to the way it fits me. It’s a personal preference. I feel I move too much in the pouch. I like things to stay in place.

Here are some great pouches to check out (This is a short list, there are a ton more to check out):

  • Cocksox CX01 – This was my very first ergonomically designed pouch. It’s more like the wonder bra for men. It takes what you have and shows it off. I’ve described these as very bulgetastic. These will enhance and could show off a bigger bulge than you may want.  So it may not be good for work or family occasions.
  • Andrew Christian Almost Naked – One of AC first ergonomically designed pairs. It “allows you to hang freely” It’s available in just about every pair they make. I prefer the briefs but go with the styel you love best.
  • Ergowear Max – “the pouch is manufactured in a three-dimensional shape that slightly lifts your genitals up and away from the legs, in a cozy yet fully protective manner. Made in many favrics and colors. “
  • Ergowear x3D – “The X3D pouch is an original take in male underwear. A stretchy pouch that is designed to accommodate your genitals up and away, to avoid squeezing and adding a layer of flexibility and a slight enhancement for a provocative silhouette” My favorite pouch from Erogwear.
  • Ergowear Feel –“The Feel have a traditional look but are still true to our anatomically correct principles of men’s underwear. They feature a roomy and enhancing FEEL pouch with an adaptable profile”
  • Obviously – “AnatoMAX is the most recent pouch release and it is the largest pouch design available from Obviously. It provides a naturally shaped, anatomical pouch with MAXimum size, MAXimum space and MAXimum comfort. For those customers who previously enjoyed the Modal Range anatomical pouch – AnatoMAX is for you.”
  • Sukrew  – They don’t push the ergonomical pouch in their promotional text. You can see it in their pics. It’s one of those under the radar and in every pair they make. From thongs to oboxer briefs.
  • Big Boys Pants – BBP is a little known UK brand. They are amazing and designed by guys who need a bigger and more comfortable pouch. I have heard a rumor they maybe updating their collection this year. This is a brand worth checking out.

Other Honorable mentions are John Sievers line from International Jock, N2N Bodywear N-hance and  AC Trophy Boy,

We hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to comment and reach out to us.
