 Male Power furnished the Pocket Pool Pocket Short for review.

Rating: 8.2/10

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

Pros: The pair is really stylish with the contrasting colors. The pockets near the pouch add interest. Leg holes don’t stretch out even with lots of movement.

Cons: The pair would ride down exposing part of my butt.

I have tried Male Power in the past for the site. This was a different style but I did like how the pair before fit. This pair of shorts (or trucks) are what I enjoy wearing the most so I was excited to try this pair out. I loved the look of the pair as soon as I removed them from the package.

I wore this pair of underwear while I was working my retail job. I was busy building shelving and moving product around the store so I was moving and bending a lot in them. Overall the underwear felt great all day. With all of the movement, the underwear didn’t get stretched out at all. The shorts leg holes didn’t stretch out which helped the pair remain in place throughout the day. The one issue I had was that the pair would occasionally ride down exposing the top of my butt, which could be from having a bubble butt.

The pair is made really well. It is made of 95% cotton and 5% spandex. The underwear is all cotton with the spandex being the pockets on the front. The pair is black with red pockets that are made to look like classic gym shorts. The waistband has the male power logo and matches in color. There is a decent pouch built into the underwear so there is space for your “goods” to be comfortable.

I got a small pair of underwear and they fit me perfectly. I have only had one pair of underwear from Male Power not fit me before, otherwise, the pairs have fit amazing. The underwear hugs your body and doesn’t stretch out horribly over the course of your day, no matter how much you move.

Overall I was really happy with this pair of underwear. It was comfortable and remained in place throughout the day. It is a fun pair with a different look with the pockets next to the pouch on the front of the underwear. I will definitely enjoy wearing this underwear every time I pull them on.

Todd Sanfield provided me with these undies to review. I love a good jock, and not one that is just sexy, but one that truly fits and is comfortable to wear. Seems like a simple request, but I have reviewed many jocks and that is not always the case. However, the Todd Sanfield Essentials Collection Jockstrap is the best jockstrap that I have in my underwear drawer right now.

Rating: 10/10

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

Pros: Comfortable straps and waistband, roomy pouch and Classy design and colors

Cons: I don’t really have any… I wish I had this jock in every color!

UNB John’s recommendation:

I am a huge jockstrap fan. If you looked at my underwear drawer, it is probably the style that I have the most of; however, it is hard to find one that is sexy and yet comfortable enough to wear all day and for all different types of occasions. When I first looked at this jock, the detailing again caught my eye. The straps are flexible and soft to the touch, the subtle logo on the leg straps and waistband create this elegant look and styling. Many times jocks that are comfortable are boring and the jocks that are fun sexy are just plain uncomfortable. Todd Sanfield has done an amazing job at creating a jock that is both functional and sexy!

The first time I wore this jock I could tell this was something different from any other jock that I had tried on before. It was soft and stretchy, but held its shape. The leg straps are soft and I never got that feeling that they were digging into my butt checks or back of my thighs. The pouch fit perfect and did an awesome job of supporting and enhancing my package.

Much like the briefs, these have moved to the top of the pile when it comes to jockstraps in my underwear drawer. The simple sexy look to the detailing and the fact that I can not only wear these all day, but would also be great for the gym or being active.

Final Thoughts:

Whether you are looking for your first jockstrap to try or if you are a seasoned jockstrap expert, you will not be disappointed with this purchase. The minimalistic design and the superior fit will be enough for you to want wear this jock all the time… even to bed!

CheapUndies.com has done it again! Following up from their viral sensation version of the “Mannequin Challenge,” CheapUndies has released their own tribute to the latest internet craze “How Bow Dah”.

The video features David Ratcliffe, GianCarlo Annitto, and Marvin Brown who are well known dancers from the Los Angeles area. After hearing the remix by God Suede, the team at Cheap Undies asked Dexter Mayfield to choreograph a piece for our models to perform on film. You can spot all the dancers wearing the new fun and colorful tights from Cheap Undies, “CheapUndies Contoured Porch Long Underwear Collection.

“Cash Me Ousside / How Bow Dah” is a memorable quote uttered by 13-year-old Danielle Bregoli on The Dr. Phil Show, during which she challenges the show’s audience to a fight with the phrase “Catch me outside, how about that?”

We want to thank those who voted this year in the UNB Reader Awards. We had the most vote ever in an Awards. I was checking on the results daily and there were some real battles in categories.

Also, we had our very first tie. The awards were a lot of fun this year.

Drawer of Fame 2017

The Drawer of Fame is our own Hall of Fame of the underwear world. We celebrate achievements in the world of underwear. That could be a pair, person, brand or retailer that influences the world of underwear. We try to have a rough limit of being around for 10 years before being considered for entry. This is solely based on the Editorial Board/Editor of UNB. While brands can campaign to be in the Drawer of Fame, it’s the decision of the editors when and why they get in. This year we have a few new inductees.

PAIR

Cocksox CX01 Bikini – This pair has been around 10 years this year. I have made an impact on the world of underwear. Namely the Cocksox pouch. Which has been a favorite of our editorial board and readers for years. It also is a pair that is still being sold today. It has had many colors over the years but the design and fabric remain the same as the original.

Retailers

New this year are retailers. Where would we be without place to buy our underwear. We are inducting Two stores that have had an impact and are still in business today. One focuses on a particular style, while the second has always been a one of the go to stores for many of us.

Jockstrap Central – Originally created to celebrate the jockstrap. Over the years they have added more things than jocks. They have their own unique style. This includes what they sell and models they use. Models have a more “real guy’ feel over a produced shoot. We feel they do many great things to contribute to the world of men’s underwear.

International Jock – One of the biggest stores on the net right now is International Jock. They have managed to stay strong when many other stores have faltered. They key to their success, we feel, is the breath of their offerings. Meaning, back in the day they were one of the first who had singlets and jock/cups. Things that you couldn’t find outside a sporting good store. Since then they continue to add some of the best undies/swim/etc. on the market. One other reason they make our list is they use their own models. Their site has always looked consistent and fresh. It takes a lot of effort to do this. We say hats off to International Jock

Brands/People

Pistol Pete – Sami Trab & Company – Pistol Pete has always marched to their own drummer. They have a specific style that no one has matched or even copied. They have held on to this design skill to this day. We have covered them since the start of UNB. It’s always great to see what they come up with each year. They create everything from swimwear, underwear, denim, spandex gear and more. We think they deserve to be in our Drawer of Fame.

Go Softwear – Greg Olivera & Alex Hernandez – Go Softwear has been around for around 20 years. In this time they have produced so many pairs. Including those featuring armed forces, police, and firefighters. In recent years they have expanded with the American Jock line that features more athletic underwear and apparel. That’s not the only line, the Hard Core is a more fetish line that has really come on strong the last few years. Both Greg and Alex have been great friends to UNB. We are glad to have them in our Drawer of Fame!

This is this years Reader Awards and Drawer of Fame winners. We will have our next reader awards in Feb 2018!

ES Collection presents Shade Fall / Winter 2017-2018 Fashion Show at 080 Barcelona Fashion Week.

ES COLLECTION- SHADE

The Catalan designer Carmen Monforte presents a man and a woman who are very sure of themselves, with a strong personality, but at the same time very sensitive, always letting themselves be guided by an underlying sense of immortality and perpetuity.

Her proposal for next autumn/winter focuses on the presence of dark colors combined with metallic touches that, together with the play of proportions and textures, make up a very contemporary and spontaneous collection, ideal for a daily look.

To achieve this, the collection plays with a rich variety of fabrics like modal or viscose, which combined with other organic fabrics, give rise to enormously soft and adaptable garments, almost creating a second skin.

Todd Sanfield provided me with these undies to review. It is not every day that you get to try an entire collection for an underwear designer that you have wanted to try for a long time, but I got just that opportunity. Todd Sanfield is a designer from Detroit and his collections have interested me for a couple of years now, so when I had the opportunity to review his whole Essentials Collection, I jumped at the opportunity

Rating: 9.8/10

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

Pros: Soft Lenzing Modal Fabric, Perfect Fit, Classy design and colors

Cons: The pouch was a little small

UNB John’s recommendation:

This was the first pair that I wanted to review from this collection. I am a huge briefs fan and these looked amazing. Todd sent us the entire collection in red, which I think is just a sexy color for underwear anyways so I was hooked right away. I also noticed the detail that have been put into the design of these undies, from the overall construction of these undies to the shiny embroidered logo on the waistband, these are just an amazing pair of simple and sexy undies.

When I tried these on, the first thing I noticed was the fabric combination. It was soft and stretchy but it also held it shape and did not ride up. They were comfortable to wear all day. One problem that I usually have with briefs is having enough coverage in the back. I have a bigger behind, and these provided me with the perfect amount of coverage. They have a nice pouch around the front, which it wish was a little bigger, but overall it was not enough of a complaint to make me not love these undies. The design and logo on the waistband is subtle and elegant as well.

Since the first time wearing these, I can’t seem to get enough. These are comfortable enough to wear all day to work, but sexy enough to put on before going out at night. I love the simple yet sexy red color, and I can easily say these have moved to the top of my underwear drawer when it comes to my “got to” briefs.

Final Thoughts:

If you are looking for a comfortable pair of briefs that are simple yet sexy, these are totally worth checking out. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you can bet that these will be the pair I am wearing for that romantic night out!
