The Bum-Chums Illuminati Hipster were furnished by Bum Chums
PROS
CONS
For my second pair of Bum-Chums, I tried the Illuminati Light – Hipster. I had a positive experience with this brand last time so I was expecting to like these, as well. Trunks and Boxer briefs are not my go-to underwear but I’ll give anything a shot! The look was classic, white with black contrast trim and waistband and the fabric felt very soft with lots of stretch…so far, so good. This exact style only comes in black or white, but BC has hipster cut underwear in several prints and colors.
I wore these to work on a cool day when a little extra fabric wouldn’t bother me. The fabric is what they call Tactel®, which is a Polyamide/Elastane mix, so these would hold up to a sweaty day as well as a day in the office. I run really hot and tend to sweat even when it’s not warm outside so I appreciate fabric that wicks moisture.
Sizing might run a bit small. I am a 31-32 waist and these medium hipsters fit just right. According to their size chart I could wear a small but I think they would have been too tight. I’ve got thick legs so a little extra space is appreciated. If you straddle two sizes, I would recommend going up.
I love the contrast in color and the seam in the back does help create a nice profile for those of us without much of a butt. The fabric was very soft and had lots of stretch. I’m not a fan of outrageous pouches and Bum-Chums got these just right….support for everything up front with a bit of a lift for showing off without being obscene. Like I said earlier, trunks and boxer briefs are not my style because the legs ride up and I find myself pulling on them all day. This isn’t a design flaw, just a preference, but I have to admit, there was very little adjusting today, which left me pleasantly surprised! One suggestion to BC would be to offer more colors for those of us not afraid to venture outside of black and white.
When I pulled these on I was worried that I would be annoyed with the length all day which as I said, did not happen. The Tactel fabric did wick away some moisture and the profile the pair gives was really great. I’m not sure I want to wear trunks more often but this pair did open my eyes that they aren’t all bad. For guys who love trunks already, these are definitely a pair I would recommend.
We are wrapping up the year. We had to share a few more Holiday Guide pics. This is a pic by Taylor Campbell, featuring Drew Ater in N2N Bodywear! The pair is the Indy Racer Brief.

Today I’m reviewing the Cocksox CX03 Waistband Brief. I own a handful of undies from Cocksox so I was ready for the outrageous pouch, but hadn’t tried this exact style so was happy to try something new. This style comes in black, white, blue and red, which is currently on sale.
I wore these on an active workday simply because I wanted to review them – not because I thought they were practical. I would say the CX03 brief could be worn for work or to the gym if you really liked to show off in gym shorts. I was wearing jeans and the bulge was noticeable but tolerable.
Sizing seems in line with most brands in the US. These were a medium (32-34) and gave plenty of room everywhere without being loose. The pouch is there to show you off so there’s plenty of room – no need to size up. I used to wear my underwear very tight but in recent months have began to appreciate a bit more space, so if you’re in between sizes and like them tight, go down a size.
Cocksox always has great style and are made well. The fabric is 92% Supplex and 8% Lycra which gives them lots of stretch and they felt broken in and soft after just one wash. The back rode up throughout the day and did requires some adjusting. Honestly, sometimes it’s hot to let them ride up and leave them that way so that’s not really a complaint! More color options would be nice and as I’ve said before, the outrageous pouch isn’t my favorite. I like support and a bit of show off but the lift in these is almost silly under loose/thin clothing. The profile the pouch gives also isn’t sexy, in my opinion. It’s their signature so it shouldn’t change and I know they have other lines where the pouch is tamer, so they’re doing a great job offering something for everyone.
Cocksox in my mind is underwear “for fun” and not everyday but after wearing these I might reconsider that. While the initial feeling is that the pouch is too much and the back could be but a bit bigger, once I had them on and went about my day, they worked just like any other pair of briefs….I just had to be a little more careful when zipping up my fly. Maybe I’ll stop being such a dud and wear sexier underwear during “practical” times. For getting me to change my mind about anything – Cocksox deserves a thumbs up!

Dot Wear furnished the Boobee.wear Boxer Briefs for review.
Rating: 7.8/10 (Average of the ratings below)
Pros: The material is super soft so it is comfortable against your skin. The pattern is fun and interesting.
Doesn’t bunch up as you move throughout the day.
Cons: Doesn’t have the biggest pouch for guys who need that. Material can be cold against your skin
when you first put them on.
Today I am reviewing the Dot Wear Boobee Boxer Briefs. I have never heard of this brand so was excited to try something new. The first thing I noticed was the fun pattern with bumble bees on them.
They also threw in 1 ghost on the pair. I love boxer briefs so this pair fits right into what I normally enjoy
to wear.
I did pretty much everything while wearing this pair. I moved around and sat for extended periods of time while at work. The pair is extremely comfortable that you almost forget you are wearing underwear. I didn’t have to adjust myself at all or pull down on the legs to get them from riding up on me.
The Boobee Boxer Briefs are made extremely well. The pair is 81% polyester and 19% elastane. The fabric is super soft against your skin. According to the company the underwear features four-way
stretch, which you notice in how the pair stays in place no matter how much you move. They also say the fabric is antimicrobial to keep you smelling fresh. The print is fun too with bumblebees and one ghost on an orange background. The waistband is also fun with the company’s name on it but then having rainbow colored jimmies on it. The seams are done in black thread that add contrast to the pattern and material.
I got a pair of small underwear. For the most part this pair fit me perfectly. The one thing I noticed is it was tough at first to get the pair on over my bubble butt. Once on the pair fit great and wasn’t tight at all.
Overall I love this pair of underwear. The material is comfortable and you can do anything you normally do while wearing the pair. The pattern on the underwear is really fun and interesting that others will notice and enjoy as well. One cool thing with the Boobee Boxer Briefs is that a portion of the proceeds will go to Breast Cancer Awareness. I would get more of this brand in the future, to not only support great causes but also because the underwear is super comfortable.

With the demise of Bike Jockstraps, you maybe looking for a great alternative for the classic jock. Well, look no further than JockUp. They have a jock that is everything classic. It has the wide waistband, comfy pouch and leg straps. They even have the stripe in the waistband and label on the front!
JockUp is a company I have profiled on UNB a few times. I think they are doing some great things in the world of underwear. They do classic cuts but updated for the modern man. Matthew the owner, has really found a great section of the market to be in!
They have had the white classic jock, but no colors. He said a while back that they would be releasing colors in the near future. He has made good on that promise. I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw the red! It made me very happy. There is also a black jock as well.
If you are a jock fan and looking for a replacement for the Bike #10, I highly suggest giving the JockUp classic jock a try. As I mentioned above, it has many of the same features as the classic jock. They have updated the fabrics to meet the needs of guys needs today.
The fabric is a Bamboo blend. You may be asking why is that good? It has breath-ability for working out. It also has some anti-bacterial properties as well. It’s a great update to the classic jock. I know many don’t like the old school nylon pouch. They want a bit more support and comfort.
This is perfect gift for the jock lover in your life, or maybe for yourself. As I said it’s in white, red and black currently.
BRAND: JockUp
PAIR: Classic Jock
COLORS: Red also in White and Black
FABRIC: Bamboo/Elastic blend pouch
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $29.95

This year we talked about underwear as gifts. Either its for you or someone else. If you haven’t read that post, head back to the UNB Archives for the Underwear as Gifts post. This post got me thinking. We all love certain things and are uncertain about what others like. It hit me why not give a subscription as a gift.
How do Subscriptions Work?
Think of it as the underwear of the month club. Every month you get a new pair of underwear. You pick the size and usually style. Then each month like clockwork you get something in the mail. Some of the services will let you pick one style. Like a brief, boxer brief, jock or thong. And you have to stick with that style. Others, will let you get a random style. So you never know what you’re going to get.
Some of the services pick a brand and send out the entire line. That means they will send out that line in each style. Such as the SupaWear SupaDupa line. Whereas, others will mix up what is sent out not always doing the same brand. If you’re getting this along with someone else you may not want to be matchy matchy, but that depends on your style.
Lastly, you can get underwear delivered in a few options. Most do 3 months, 6 Months or a Year. Just look at each site to see what they offer.
For Yourself
If you read UNB on any regular basis. You have styles and brands you love. Some of you even have very large collections. For someone to get you undies, it could be difficult for them to give you something you don’t have in your collection. A subscription will allow them to buy you underwear but get something new every month. Maybe even from brands you haven’t tried or mix up and get different styles.
You can suggest a service to someone close to you. Especially, if they know you love underwear. It takes the hassle out of trying to find something you don’t have in your underwear drawer.
For Someone Else
Let’s say you have a friend who wants to try new undies. You could go out and buy a pair, but wouldn’t exposing them to more than one pair be the perfect gift? An underwear a subscription will expose them to different styles, brands and fabrics. It will allow them to explore underwear with each new shipment.
Give them a 3 month or 6 month subscription to expose them to many different brands. I would suggest getting them a subscription that rotates styles as well. They may Thank you for it later!
Suggestions to Subscription services
There are tons of services. But, here are a few we recommend. I have tried most of these and don’t think you will have any issues with them!
Enjoy Undies this Holiday Season!
