We love RSH Photography. This time he has shot Delio Dietz underwear. We hope to be working with him on future projects. Stay tuned.
It’s UNB’s 8th anniversary, so in honor of that I’m going to do a wrap up of my 8 favorite pairs of underwear in my collection. In normal fashion, we’ll count down to my favorite pair.
8. Doreanse Euro Thong (1392)
I finally bought myself this Doreanse thong this year and find it a great thong. For those that remember the Undergear French thong (A300), this is an excellent substitute. I think it is even better. It’s a super soft fabric and a great cut, which I like better than the French thong. It’s sort of a v-string, but with normal thong sides.
7. Prevail Sport String Thong Brief
I’m a big fan of the brand Prevail Sport, which you’ll see by this list. So this is my number seven pick from my underwear drawer. It’s basically a traditional cut thong, but a little less frontal coverage. Also these are a nice and snug fit, which is one thing I look for in a great pair of underwear. One thing different with Prevail Sport is they do most of their thong backs in a black lycra fabric.
6. Prevail Sport Rio Brief
Number six is another pair from Prevail Sport. The rio brief is again a snug fitting pair that has string sides to show off those legs. The back is a around ¾ back and has a contoured centered seamed front pouch the holds everything nicely.
5. Fagioni Clip Thong
The Fagionu clip thong is one I have had for a while and it is a very comfortable thong. One I’d recommend for beginners. They’re made out a satin like material and you really don’t know you are wearing a thong. Only negative is they aren’t the snuggest fit, but enough support. The fun part is these have clips on the side for your partner to have easy access or for you to doing a strip tease.
4. Dietz Joker Mini Slip
Dietz is a brand I’ve discovered somewhat recently. Of the four pairs I now own, the Joker mini slip is my favorite from them. It comes down to a nice snug fit that holds everything in place. I like the two tone front pouch and yellow just brighten things up.
3. Blueline T-Back Thong
Blueline is another brand I’ve discovered in the past few years and I’d say it isn’t a real mainstream brand. Now this is a skimpy thong, which pretty much molds to you. I consider it a v-string and not a t-back. It’s a very narrow v-shaped contour pouch, so may not be for the well endowed. I think it holds everything nicely and basically is showing everything you got off.
2. Blueline Microfiber String Bikini
This bikini is the first pair of underwear I ordered of the brand Blueline and got me into trying others. I wouldn’t really say there is something spectacular about it. I’m just a fan of a solid string bikini, since they are the first style that I tried when branching out from the dreaded whitey tighties. I love the fit of it and the microfiber fabric.
1. Prevail Sport’s String Brief
I’ve been wearing this bikini style from Prevail Sport for about 15 years now. It has been my go to bikini ever since I discovered them. The cut of the bikini reminds me of the swim briefs that you see bodybuilders wearing. The ¾ back, narrow sides, and just the right amount coverage of the pouch along with the snugness fit make these my top underwear pick. They’re holding the position strong!
Earlier this year when I talked to the PetitQ boys. They said that they would be releasing new pairs a few times throughout the year. They have lived up to this statement. It seems like every two months they are putting out 5-6 new styles to their already fun and skimpy collection.
The new collection has a bikinis, chaps, jocks and shorts. Each one has their own unique design. A design sense that PetitQ is known for. PetitQ is a company that is all about fun and sex appeal.
PQ160901 Chaps Nantua Color – Black or Red – What happens when you mix a jock and chaps? you get the Chaps Nantua. The chaps are made of mesh and the jock has a solid pouch. 92% Polyester 8% Spandex
PQ160902 Jock Lacey – Black or Red – Love jocks and bikinis? The front looks like a bikini and the back is a jock. The center in back is a laced up. 92% Polyester 8% Spandex
PQ160903 Kini Pleather – Love leather and a string bikinis? Then Kini Pleather gives you the great string bikini cut in a leather look fabric. Without the special care needed by leather. 94% Polyester 6% Spandex
PQ160904 Shorts Snaps – Black or Blue – Want some mesh? The Shorts Snap are a pair of shorts made out of a mesh material. They can be worn alone or with another pair under. -100% Polyester. Microfiber
PQ160905 Bikini Buckle Color – Green or Turquoise – Keyholes have been big in underwear. PetitQ gives us their take on this that shows off part of your manhood. 82% Nylon 18% Spandex
PQ160950 Bikini Nylon Color White – This and the pair below share a Japanese style underwear. It has minimal coverage in the back. The bikini has either orange or pink as the trim – 87% Nylon 13% Spandex
PQ160951 Bikini Nylon Color White – See above – 87% Nylon 13% Spandex
PQ160952 Bikini Big Bulge Color Blue – Bikini fans rejoice. This pair is a true bikini. Made out of an amazing fabric blend. Top that with a contoured pouch and it’s an instant favorite.
PQ160953 Bikini Big Bulge Color Purple – See above.

So I’m not sure which sex got the first modern thongs men or women (man, we need an underwear historian or something?!). But I know that as a straight guy I first saw thongs on women. My entire view on thongs has been greatly influenced by that(I also quite like them on women, but that’s not the point). I’ve noticed over the years that while yes, men do have thongs, they really don’t have much in the way of variety. Sure, there can be subtle differences in back sizes. There are really only two broad types: thongs, and g-strings. There hasn’t been much change in the world of men’s thongs recently, and I think that’s a shame.
The only real change in thongs over the past few years was the creation of the jock thong, and that was a few years ago now. I’m still not truly convinced that the jock thong is really a good innovation. But again, that’s another article.
Basically, I’ve gotten bored with every single brand thong and g-string being very similar. Where’s the variety? Why should girls have all the fun! I know some innovations have made their way over to the guy side. Pairs with multiple side straps sand such. I think there are a few more ideas in the realm of women’s wear that could work in men’s wear too. Women, on the other hand, have a huge variety of thongs. What I’m going to focus on today are the types of backs. Because I feel some of them might work well, or at least interestingly on a male frame.
First off is this curve back? I remember seeing a back this style from the brand Good Devil under the moniker “split back”. I think this is a cool idea and would like to see more menswear like this.
One type that I am very surprised hasn’t made its way into menswear is a kind that is more like a g-string. Instead of the strings intersecting into a T, or leading into a larger back. They meet in a triangle that sits between the depression between the top of the two checks. I’ve always been curious about this syle,as it seems very common in women’s underwear. While doing a bit more research I have noticed that some men’s thongs do mimic this concept somewhat. They don’t do it in quite a way like the feminine variety. They usually have what looks like a triangle, but is actually a part of a larger back strap. In this design, the only part of the back that is not a string is the triangle.
A trend I don’t see coming to the men’s side of thing is the idea of having the central part of the back strap being metal or made up of charms. That doesn’t look comfortable at all. Cute perhaps, but I can imagine that wearing that in the dead of winter is a bad idea.
I’m not saying these ideas will revolutionize men’s thongs. I do think that the area of men’s thong design is somewhat stagnant. I think ideas could help make things a little bit more interesting.
So what do you think? Am I a crockpot, or would you too like to see these ideas come to light? Let me know in the comments below, or on twitter.
The boys from PetitQ, Arthus & Nico, are back for another shoot! They shot this at the Indulge Inn, in Palm Springs. They always do some great pictures. It always features the newest from PetitQ. We hope you enjoy these pics.
One brand that I know a lot of our readers miss is UnderGear. They are one of the main ways many of us got our underwear back in the day. Some of us called in and others shopped online. The BodyTech was a line that was exclusive to UnderGear. It’s still hard to believe one of the monolith companies in the world of underwear is gone!
UnderGear was a shop that shaped so many of us out there. A lot of guys were first exposed to underwear outside of Hanes and FOTL. It showed them that there were more than tighty whities and boxers. Bikinis, thongs and more were styles that were for men as well.
I reviewed these back in the day and still have them with the matching shirt. We definitely miss them and were hoping they would be revived in some way. But as of this post they are still MIA.
Are you a jockstrap fan? If you are Wednesday’s are all about you! Its the day social media and we here at UNB celebrate the jockstrap. One of the newest is the Timoteo Speedway jock. This jock is based on the best-selling Trainer Jock. Now it comes in the different colors and stripes of the Speedway collection.
The first thing you notice is the waistband. This band is new and with a 2 inch design. The colors in the band match the colors in the pair. It’s a really great touch. It shows the thought going into the design that there would be five different waistband colors.
The pouch has five stripes down the center. A dark solid center stripe. Followed by the shade lighter color on each side followed by another shade lighter outside of all three stripes. The trim matches the lightest color on the pouch. It’s a fun sporty design.
Made in 4 vibrant new color combinations. The colors are Blue, Green, Red and Orange. The red is the only one with a black pouch. The rest have white pouches. Made out of a high quality 72% Cotton 23% Polyester 5% Spandex blend. Making it perfect for any activity you have in mind! Meaning you can wear them to the gym, work or lounging around home.
The Speedway line also comes in a brief and slingshot jock. Each of them have the same colors and design. If you like one you may want to check out the entire line. To get this pair go to the Timoteo site. We will have more from Timoteo and Cellblock 13 very soon! They have some great pairs coming in the next few weeks!

Fashion jocks are common place in today’s underwear market. Since 2009 the types and styles of jocks have exploded. One of the companies that have been producing fun jocks is Jack Adams. One of their latest pairs is the Lux Drift Jock. Which is part of the larger Lux Drift collection, which is made to combat “constantly tug, pull and grab at ill-fitting underwear, you can’t be comfortable and confident. ”
The first thing you notice about the pair is the pouches are made out of a striped fabric. There have been patterns and prints but I don’t recall too many stripes in the world of jocks. Most of the ones have been solids and wild prints. Jack Adams took a middle ground to this jock. It’s not super traditional or wild. I would say it’s more on the “classic” side. Meaning it won’t go out of style. At least I think that.
The next thing you won’t notice in the picture, but you will when you put it on is the fabric. “An extremely luxurious fabric, it’s cool to the touch, absorbent and similar in texture to silk or cotton. Unlike cotton, however, it is resistant to shrinkage and less likely to fade or pill. Fits and feels like a second skin. Performs well for even the longest day’s wear. Made of 95% Modal and 5% Elastane.” This pair is made to be worn for any occasion. It will hold up to daily wear and regular washing.
There are two color options in this line. You can get either blue or red. Each one has the black Jack Adams waistband. The name is in the waistband, but in the same color. It won’t be blatant if it should ride up. It’s a great color combination with the two colors and the waistband.
I really love this jock. Jack Adams did a great job in the design of this pair. I hope you guys will check it out!

As we celebrate our 8th year I thought I would share some things that I have learned over the years about underwear, the industry, and our readers. Some are no brainers and others really surprised me.
The Industry Is Small
I’m not talking as in sales or pairs sold every year. The men’s underwear market is $4 billion and growing. Rather, the people behind brands are a small staff. Other than Calvin Klein and 2(X)ist. Most brands have 4-6 people running it. They do amazing things on a small staff. It has been this way since 2008.
Guys Love Small Underwear
My personal preference is small undies. Bikinis have always been my go to style. Even in the days of boxer briefs and boxers. I would seek out smaller cuts. As I talk to many of you guys, you love bikinis, thongs and smaller! Across the board its one thing we have in common. In our reader survey it reaffirms this. It makes me happy that this area of men’s underwear is growing.
Straight/Bi/Gay Our origins story are the same
This is one of the WOW moments for me. The time we all started liking underwear is about the same. Usually early to mid teens. Some guys acted on it and other did not. Again across the board. Most really started to try out new pairs in college or after moving our of our parent’s house. After that it took off and there was no looking back.
Guys Love fashion Vs. those who don’t
We have a divide in our ranks. It’s not a bad one, but it makes me laugh. I have been on both sides of this divide. Guys who love underwear are either very fashion conscious or not at all. Those who are not, the underwear is the best thing they wear. Currently, I’m on the don’t side rather than do. I need to step it up.
There are some true underwear addicts out there!
I thought I had a lot of undies around 400 pairs but I have talked to guys who have thousands of pairs. I say my hat is off if you have that much. Some of them have really great storage systems for them. On top of that a few of them have even created spreadsheets to keep track of their collections. I should do this because I always forget pairs I have and discover them in back of a drawer. But, if you’re one of the guys, know you have a lot more than a blogger! You are the guys we also love! You want to know the newest, lastest and greatest underwear on the market.
Sexy is different for each guy
We find many things sexy. Some it’s a thong or mesh. Other guys like classic white briefs. This goes along with what our partner/wife/husband likes as well. I remember a few years ago I tried to define date night underwear. This got me a lot of feedback that I was off base and never made that mistake again. I find date night undies to be skimpy, mesh and similar. You guys have a different definition!
Straight guys want to wear swim briefs
I always thought us gay guys were the ones to wear the swim briefs. I never thought that straight guys would want to be able to rock a swim brief on the beach or pool. But many of you do. The stories we have heard from many guys has them wearing them out of the country. They wear them in the Caribean, Europe or Mexico. Guys tell us how liberating it feels being able to wear them without judgment. They wish they could do the same in the State and not get labeled gay.
Underwear Guys are the Best Guys
If a guy loves underwear and you bond over the fact. I think you have a friend for life. I’m not talking about sexual bonding but rather something you have in common. Over the years I have met gay/bi/straight guys all who have become friends. It’s all over underwear. Underwear is something really rarely talked about. When you can and really share your passion you open up more. This goes for all guys, not just gay. I think gay guys get put in the “underwear is sexual” all to often. We all need to talk undies because it is normal!
These are just a few things I have found out. There are tons more but when I put myself on the spot. My mind goes blank. But just know there are many of you guys out there and we need to develop a community around us regardless of sexual orientation. I hope we get at least 8 more years of UNB!
We featured some of the BodyAware Halloween Undies earlier this week. They are fun and festive for this holiday season. BodyAware produced videos of each of the pairs. We hope you enjoy and maybe you’ll get some fun undies for the Halloween season!

Jack Adams has released their new collection for Fall! We will have more about the line, but we had to share some of the great pics they did for the new line.
I know from talking to a lot of you guys. That you love skimpier cuts, mesh and fun colors. A new brand that has come across my radar fits all these qualifications. It’s call Bite Wear. Bite Wear is a brand out of Columbia. It used Columbian fabrics to create a sexy, yet fun line.
One thing is consistent across the line. It’s all about sex appeal. There are a number of thongs in the collection. However, don’t mistake the boxer briefs as not being sexy. They have mesh and cut outs to date to bare as much as you want. If you’re a fan of purple, this line is going to be awesome for you! There are pairs in purple and a lot of other pairs use purple trim and waistbands. Other colors used are black and a teal color.
We are going to walk you through the line. It’s not a super huge line. We hope you will enjoy this new line!

Is running an underwear blog as glamorous as it seems? Why yes it is! Said sarcastically! It’s a lot of work. UNB enters out 8th year of serving guys the latest in underwear, swimwear and more. Planning the week starts on Sunday and usually by Monday afternoon the schedule has gone crazy.
This is not because things go awry here. There is so much going on in the world of underwear, things get juggled. It has taught me to come up with a tentative schedule. We will get notice a new brand is out and will have to shuffle posts around. I have long given up on having a set editorial calendar each week. It’s more go with the flow.
What will your support mean? We can do more shoots and improve the blog. Recently we ran a poll about real guys in shoots. You guys asked why didn’t we get a brand to support it. Well, that’s a long discussion. It’s just, currently, easier if we take this project on and see it through. We would love brand support on these projects.
We currently don’t take money for posts and don’t have any intrusive advertisements. Why do we do this? First, we want to be objective and not be paid to post some. If you guys love something we will post more about it, if not we won’t. Next, reader experience is most important to me. I HATE sites with ads that take over the screen, videos that open from nowhere and ads between posts. Sites that does this, I never come back too. We may at some point may need to take on more advertising but we won’t have it be intrusive to your experience.
If you want to donate, go to the UNB Patreon page. Even just $1 a month will make a difference. Enough guys giving $1 can turn into something big! At the $1 level we are letting every one of our Patrons into our Private Slack for supporters. It’s a place you can talk undies and get to know the editorial guys and also other supporters. It’s a great group of guys and we have some good conversations!
Support us today!
Hi guys, The Bottom Drawer and Underweardude here to do a little discussion on the brand Dietz. Both of us have discovered the brand in the last couple of years and find them to be a good choice. Let’s get down to the questions.
How did you come across the brand Dietz and what grabbed your attention to try them?
The Bottom Drawer: I came across the Dietz brand on Tumblr. I stumbled upon some photos taken by who is now called 68pence on there. I liked that his photos were taken in places like around the house instead of just studio shots. That to me allows me to relate more to the situation and picture myself in the undies. In the end the cut matters along with design, which Dietz fit into my kind of style.
Underweardude: I came across the brand through you (The Bottom Drawer), seeing you on twitter espousing how much you liked them. Since we both share a common interest in skimpier pairs, I decided to check them out. I was drawn to the brand by the predominance of skimpier cuts.
What do you think makes Dietz different from other brands?
Underweardude: I think Dietz’s styling is what sets them apart. They kind of remind me of N2N in a sense, as their pairs usually have a simple but sophisticated look about them. They just ooze sex appeal. I also find it interesting that it is hard to tell their underwear from the swimwear, as you can probably use some as both, I gather. Basically, their choice of cuts and style fits right up my alley.
The Bottom Drawer: I like how you put it “simple but sophisticated look.” It is the subtle color accenting they add into their styles that I think gives their underwear some character and a bit of pop. Be it with the piping, waistband, logo, and/or stitching on their underwear or swimwear.
Favorite pair so far and why?
The Bottom Drawer: The Joker brief of theirs is my favorite so far. It’s a nice snug fitting bikini cut. I also like that the pouch is two toned color with black and yellow and a solid yellow back.
Underweardude: My favorite pair is my only pair by them of yet, the Ocean Brief.
Is there a pair you are wanting to try and why?
Underweardude: I am curious to try one of the brands thongs, As of course more of their bikinis. The choice as of today would likely be from the Firenze or Firenze Sec lines.
The Bottom Drawer: The Firenze lines are the ones I’ve been eyeing too. I really wanted one of the bikinis, but I saw they added a thong cut to the Firenze Sec collection. So now the thong tops the list. Though probably get one of each when the time is right. I think the fabric looks super soft and again the slight color addition at the top of the waist and the logo makes them stand out to me.
Anything you would like to see more of from Dietz?
The Bottom Drawer: Main thing I’d like to see is more thong cuts like the Firenze Sec ones they introduced recently and also skimpier cut bikini style swim briefs. More color options in the styles they already offer would be good too.
Underweardude: I guess all I really want to see more from Dietz is more interesting stuff. Would be really fun to see them keep working on their own style.
That wraps up our talk on Dietz. If you have any question or feedback on Dietz, just comment below.
NOTE: Their site is being redesigned. The link is http://deliodietz.com/
BodyAware has a new website! To celebrate the occasion they are giving you 15% off your purchase. Use code Take15 at check out! This includes the Greek God Brief pictured above! BodyAware has really gone mainstream in the last year. We hear so many of you, that shop there and love what they are doing. They have their own take on men’s underwear and it’s working for them!
One of the fabrics guys are loving, from BodyAware is lace. The Normandy Lace Collection has released a few new styles. Guys are loving the mix of masculine and feminine. BodyAware has been on the front line of the lace underwear movement.
Normandy Lace Cheek Brief – This reminds me of a boy short than a brief. The back is not a full back. Made with a pouch to give you support. they call this pair deliciously provocative. Available in three colors. Black, Pink and Aqua and retails for $21.95.
Normandy Lace Pouch Brief – My one issue with lace has always been the pouch. Some brands don’t make a great pouch to hold everything. The Lace Pouch Brief solves that problem. It has a great pouch that should hold most guys wanting to try lace. It is available in the same colors as the Lace Cheek Brief, but add an additional color of White. It retails for $20.95
There is one more pair. The Normandy Lace Briefs. It has a similar cut as the Lace Cheek Brief. However, it has a fuller back. It has a pouch built into the design. The design also has no elastic in the legs to make it more comfortable. Made in the same colors as the Lace Pouch Brief. It retails for $22.95
If you are a fan of lace or want to give it a try. Now is the time. You can save some money and give it a try.
Sukrew has released their Crimson collection. It includes the boxer briefs you see above. But, you can also get it in your favorite styles. That includes the U-Brief and U-Jock. But I personally am loving the longer boxer briefs.
Hey you fantastic sexy kinksters,
Welcome to October! I hope you all are starting to think about your halloween looks? I have mine already decided mostly because I’m in a show through the 2nd half of October playing a time travelling clockwork doll humanoid (it’s a halloween circus show, get into it!). If you are more of a store bought costume kind of guy, I wish you a good find. If you are more of a crafty stud armed with a sewing machine and a dream, I wish you luck, and please remember, no good sewing happens after 2 am (trust me.) If you’re new to the column, you’ll know that one of my careers is as a costume designer/seamster, so I’m really into fiber arts. Some of you might remember my profile on KnittyGrittyNYC and his fantastic knit jockstraps. Well, today, I have another super sexy find from the craft world that I want you all to know about. This time, I am keeping it in the family, the daughter of the featured designer today is a colleague and friend of mine in the local Boston performance world, and I am delighted to share her mom’s work with you.
What happens when you take a witchy knitter, metal scales, and a passion for imagination? You get DragonSwag by Mamma Bones (“Comfy yet badass”). You have seen knit arm gauntlets, and shrugs, you may have seen them beaded, but have you ever seen them with DRAGON SCALES!?
Mamma Bones knits these amazing creations herself, using wool yarn, aluminum punched scales, and a bad-ass imagination. She has many items up on her Etsy page, but is also really cool with custom ideas, and constantly makes work for the local Boston performer community tailored to their needs.
A specialty of Mamma Bones is the DragonSwag gauntlets. Available at any length, these fingerless gloves convert your arms into sexy scaled armour arms. These can be found in solid colors, analogous color schemes, or some really cool contrast patterns. The luxury of DragonSwag is you get all the super bad-ass perks of having some serious metal hugging your body, but you get to just feel super comfy knit yarn on your skin, so avoiding the discomfort.
Mamma Bones has done bras and panties for female bodies before, I think i need to put in a request for a sexy jockstrap/harness situation. If you want something pre-made for Halloween, maybe this is the Etsy page you’ve been looking for. If you’re willing to wait (every custom piece is made to order), you can order your own ideas and color combo items for your future dragony dress up needs.
I love how many materials I’ve discovered on my fetish friday journey. So far, we have encountered leather, spandex, rubber, neoprene, knitting, knitting with scales, sequins, lace. Not to mention all the fun creations we’ve witnessed together.
Mamma Bones has a few different places to check out:
Send me sexy pictures if you get her work. Bonus points for creative posing.
Until next time folks,
Keep it Kinky!
TtheAmazing, over and out!
This week marks my 8th anniversary of UNB. 8 years of talking and writing about underwear. It seems like yesterday I sat down in front of my computer and started this journey. I won’t go into the origins story, I have done that so many times over the years!
What has 8 years of UNB taught me over the years?
I am the IT guy – When UNB was first launched we had shared hosting. Which was great till we grew too big and had to get our own server. A friend helped me move it over and then March hit this past month. We were down for the most of a 4 day period. This taught me all about web servers and moving WordPress sites.
Underwear Guys are the best guys – Over the years I have talked and befriended many readers out there. Regardless of bi, gay or straight, underwear guys are the most amazing guys. The blog has let me meet so many good guys. We begin with the underwear connection and then discover more we have in common. The support from long-time readers is amazing. You guys remind me why I do this, for 8 years.
Problem-solving is one of my strengths – UNB is on a budget. You may think we are this glamorous organization but we aren’t. We range from 4 to 12 guys over the years. When we have issues that hit the blog, I have to come up with a way to solve them. Usually on a budget and creatively. In the early years I would freak out and worry, now its worry then “I got this.” I have fixed many problems I never thought I could on my own.
What will the next few year hold? I’m not sure, other than the blog will go on! We are in the process of developing a community amongst all the underwear guys out there. It’s amazing how we are all very similar. Across all sexual identities, we virtually have the same story.
We are going to do some more anniversary stuff next week. The reason is I think of UNB as created in Mid October, when in fact the domain renewal is the first week in October. Stay Tuned and I’ll walk you through some of our best moments of UNB! .
