0990ba3af898494c8b979c5fae52cd69-Jpg-500-500-Cropped-HighIt’s Jockstrap Wednesday! Who out there is participating in it? If you aren’t well next week grab a jock and rock it out all day! Today I wanted to profile a jock that has some of the old school design influence. I set out looking for a great jock and stumbled upon the C-IN2 Scrimmage Jock. It was one we covered a while back that I totally forgot about!

What makes this a little old school? It very much reminds me of the king of all jocks the Bike #10. However, it’s not a total reproduction. Its C-IN2’s take on it. I think they did an amazing job in it too! So here are the design aspects I love about this pair.

Waistband – The waistband is very classic and sports oriented. It’s not the 3 inch band of the classic but a smaller band that has great looks. The stripes make it seem like and updated classic. It just looks like something out of the 50’s or 60’s to me. The two colors and white brand just look amazing.

Leg straps – Leg straps are often over looked in a jock. Sometimes they are simple straps of elastic. These match the waistband. They aren’t the same elastic but a thiner band that compliments the waistband. It makes this pair super sexy!

Tag in front – The tag in front is definitely a classic. They kept this design feature and created their own retro inspired design. Instead of a vertical tag this is horizontal. It works very well with the waistband they created

Pouch – The pouch is a mesh fabric. The original jocks had a nylon mesh that could be rough. This is a new fabric that is super comfortable. It will give you great support and be breathable at the same time.

This jock comes in white, blue and red. It’s available from the C-IN2 site for $24. If you’re looking for a jock designed like the classic jocks but with updated and modern materials. The C-IN2 Scrimmage jock is the jock for you

Smuggling Duds sent us some information on their latest release. I will say its one of the more interesting pairs I have seen in a while. They are the Core Collection and Super Stealth 2.0.

Carbon Digi-cam Smuggling Duds

Smuggling Duds Core Collection –

The Core Collection has our new design patented bigger stash pocket so you can keep more of your small valuable safe. Coming in 4 different designs of Abstract, Carbon Digi-cam, Jungle Camo and Skull Check you can get them individually for just £14 each or as a 4 pack for £45 saving £11.

Super Stealth 2-0 Smuggling Duds

Smuggling Duds Super Stealth 2.0 –

The Super Stealth 2.0 design is a follow on from our standard Super Stealth. With minimal branding and our new patented bigger pocket on the inside they are ideal for those who want to stay under the radar in true ninja style. Like The Core Collection these are priced at just £12 each or you can get a 3 pack for £30 saving £6.

You maybe going, a big pocket? Yes, Smuggling Duds has always had pockets in their pairs of under. Some are smaller but this is a big pocket. Previous pairs have had pockets big enough to keep your phone in. They have US Design Patent and an EU Design Registration. So it’s not just a whimsical idea for underwear.

I definitely think there is a market for Smuggling Duds. In an ideal world who wouldn’t want to just be able to hang out in our underwear all day? Many can do that due to room mates and other living conditions. But if we could having a pocket for a cell phone would be awesome. Well, I think so!

The new collections you can put a small tablet in the pocket. I’m not sure I would put one in it but you never know when it will come in handy. The color and designs in this collection are pretty fun. One thing that you don’t see too often is the Stealth collection. Most brands have their branding but this is just a pair of simple black with no branding. I think that’s a definite bold move!

Make sure if you’re interested you go to the Smuggling Duds website for this an many more pairs.

Hey undies lovers, today I’ll be reviewing the Fluorescence Latin Brief (5252)  by the Clever brand (furnished by Candyman Fashion). Now, I have been buying allll sorts of underwear for many years now. I have been reviewing for quite a few of those years. Usually, before I try on a pair, I can feel the pouch and just by seeing it, I can predetermine if I’m gonna love it or not. I’ll explain more of the why later. This pair of briefs was on my Level 2 on the Pouch  Awesomeness radar before I even put them on.

Clever Fluorescence Brief 3

First things first, the color is my power color, a deep teal-ly blue. The waistband name, seam piping, and thread are all a bright neon citron. The brief also comes in a sexy red color. The waistband is a nice wide 1 ½” waistband, which sits nicely just above the hips.

The fabric is a rich 85% Nylon/15% Spandex microfiber blend which gives it that smooth hand. Besides the fabrics, my two favorite aspects are the butt coverage, and the pouch. I love sexy cut briefs like nobody’s business. Some of the time (not this time), if the pouch is super sexy. The butt is not cut big enough to actually hold the butt. But it isn’t small enough to be considered a tanga or thong. It’s just NOT a whole butt…I just want my butt to not feel like it has awkward side butt. Well, this brief is the perfect butt coverage. Not so baggy that fabric gets sucked into the crack vortex. Not so skimpy that you feel like stretching it back over your butt multiple times during the day.

Clever Fluorescence Brief 1

Now, early I said this pair rated a Level 2 on my pouch awesomeness radar. That’s quite a good rating. The only thing that would have elevated this pouch to my Level 1 is if the seam under the balls defined the pouch more so it was lifted forward. That is all. I really do love this pouch. It’s comfortable, stretchy enough to make room. Nice front AND profile visibility of the prizes beneath…

Clever Fluorescence Brief 2

This is going in my go-to undies pile for sure. I love the color, the fit, and especially the butt. At $25, it’s a great pair of undies for what you are paying for. I am so happy with the fit of the butt, I am posting my first ever undies selfie (well first ever posted on an underwear blog heehee). Here ya go world:

“READY, SET.. VAVOOM! After the huge success of the first Vavoom, 2EROS has introduced Vavoom Lightspeed! It is designed with sharp and bold lines to accentuate your pelvis line to give you the ultimate slim line effect.”

Who’s ready for some super hot undies from 2EROS? The VAVOOM hit the market last year. The Red/Black/Green color block really was a hot combination. Every pair just popped! 2EROS is about making a guy look stylish but comfortable. Now we have the new Lightspeed line as the next addition!

Unlike the last collection this is a bit cooler in hues. This features blue, light blue and white. This combination is a bit of a departure from the last one. I was expecting them to keep it bright and bold. Like a right blue and red. This combination is pretty nice as well. As always it’s unexpected from 2EROS.

One thing I really appreciate from 2EROS is they keep you guessing. They never do the status quo. They experiment and have fun in the world of men’s apparel. Every time I go to Vegas and see what Jason has designed it blows me away. His creativity and ability to create styles that look great on men just astounds me.

The pairs in this collection are the Brief, Trunk and Jock. The same as the previous collection. These have become some of the classic styles for 2EROS. Pricing should be similar to the current collection as well. The pricing ranges from around $27-33 AUD. This collection will be out early next week. So if you love it you will see it on the 2EROS website and some of your favorite retailers.

I hope you guys check out the new Lightspeed line from 2EROS when released! Like other lines by them, you won’t be disappointed!


slideshow_2N2N Bodywear just released something new! I told you in the erotic post about them releasing more than just one collection. They will be putting out new things in waves. Which is different for them. In years past it was in March/April this massive collection was released for the year. It was always like Xmas Day when you got to see the new stuff. This year we get treats through out the year.

One of them was a color update to the Air line. The Air line is one of my favorite lines for summer. It is made out of a 60% poly / 32% rayon / 8% spandex. I thought it was a modal blend until I looked. It fits a little loose and the fabric is one of the best and most breathable fabrics on the market. If you have to wear jeans in the heat this summer this pair is perfect for keeping you cool!

So whats’ new with the collection? There is a new color. They phased out the grey and red. I was was a bit bummed because the red is super sexy. The new color is Peach, which is a very summer color. I makes me wonder how they decided on this color. I think it fits in with the black and white.

The current styles in the Air collection are the brief, bikini, G and Jock. They are still made with the smaller signature waistband. The jock uses the same elastic from the waistband for the leg straps. This line has become a favorite of many who love N2N Bodywear. Its’ one of my favorites as well! It simple but amazingly comfortable.

This line is perfect as I said for summer heat. You can wear this for a lot more than summer. The gym or anywhere you will be active or just every day wear! The pairs retail for $19-21 at the N2N Bodywear site.

Pros: Fun, nice design, very comfy material, nice pouch

Cons: Very very tiny back

Furnished by Candyman Fashion


This pair of underwear, from the front is an awesome pair. I love the pattern, the pouch, how low cut it is, and the material they used. Now the backside, that is a different story, if you love leg day and have a larger booty, then this pair is not for you. If you have a smaller one then it will be perfect for you.

The Sizing for this was actually very nice; my waist is in the 32-34” range, and so some pairs it is a Medium others it is a Large. I received from PetitQ a Medium pair, and it fit my waist perfectly fine, pouch fit nicely, but again, it was the booty part that didn’t fit me.

BRAND: PeitQ

PAIR: Nautical Stripe Bikini Blue

There are companies that come to mind when you think erotic wear. N2N Bodywear is one of those companies. They make really amazing erotic wear that shows off a guys body. Andrew and Eddie really know how to design amazingly fun gear. It ranges from g-strings to singlets. This year I have been told that this is the first release of many from N2N Bodywear. So stay tuned.

The erotic line still has some of your favorites. They include the Black/Liquid Skins (rubber looking), Sheer (spandex/mesh), and Net (mesh undies). This year they have added the Comic Book Wrestler and the X-treme collection. So let’s take a closer look

CW1-16-B

The Comic Book Wrestler (CW1) is full cut singlet. Which may seem odd for an erotic collection. But this singlet is super sexy. A full cut singlet is one that comes to the knees and has a tank style top. The style has a racer back. Each pair has a classic comic book saying on the chest. Each color has a different saying. I was going to say I wish it did this, then when I looked, BAM! it was reality. I should have known N2N would rock this singlet. The colors are white, yellow, turquoise and red. Each one has contrasting trim that just pops! Made out of 83% Nylon 17% Spandex. The Comic Book singlet retails for $44


WP4-White-15-A

The X-Treme collection is HOT! I say this because it’s sexy but not over the top. The X-treme has just one color. White! The fabric is a spandex and a mesh. The mesh is not see through like in the Sheer collection. The styles are the singlet, runner and wrestler. This collection has one of my favorite styles, which is the singlet. I have one from a previous collection and this cut is super sexy. The low cut, N2N Pouch just fits amazing and shows off everything you want to show off. In this line the pouch is solid. Which means you won’t show off too much. The runner has a solid pouch and stripe down the side and the rest is mesh! Last is the wrestler has the cut similar to the Galaxy Wrestler (if you remember that pair). It has a traditional top and shorter legs. The mesh is in the front and back and solid spandex stripe down the side. Each of these are sexy as hell. I don’t think you’d go running in them but a bar night or fun night at home. The Singlet (WP-4) $44, Runner (WP-3) $40 and Wrestler (WP-2) $44.

Check these and the entire new collection out at the N2N Bodywear site.

Clever 5254 Neon Tree Brief furnished by Candyman Fashion

Rating: 9/10

Daily Fit: 9/10

Sizing: 9/10

Construction: 9/10

Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Super fun, bright colors, multiple neon colors and fabric styles, comfy and durable.

Cons: Just a tiny bit tight on the underside.

Beau Briefs recommendation: These are fun, flirty pair of briefs that will make a bit summer hit.

 


Neon, aren’t we all over neon? Nope! This was a super fun, flirty pair of multi-neon colored brief and I thought that they were a hoot! Maybe even two hoots.

The Clever 5254 Neon Tree Briefs are very well constructed and have super flattering lines, with no seams running right across your bum. Often with multiple fabrics there can be some slightly unflattering lines that distract from the overall look but with the layered effect this is not the case. The blue neon is the dominant color and is also a very soft feeling, which every bum enjoys.

The transition of colors is also very pleasing, see below:

The neon yellow acts as a great bridge between the two stronger colors and creates the lovely layer we love!

The pouch is also comfy and well-constructed. At no time during the day did anything get out of sorts or into positions it shouldn’t be. Everything stayed in its parking spot and was very comfortable. Of course the fabric is flexible, as any quality underwear should be, but not too flexible or thin to create too much “wiggle room” shall we say. The neon also helped highlight and showcase the goods which we all know is never a bad thing.

Now I mentioned that there were times when the underside felt a tiny bit tight but I have to say that that is probably much more to do with how I fit into the underwear and not the overall or general fit. Sometimes with my body if underwear has district pipping it can cause a tiny bit of pinching underneath, if you catch my drift. However it was minor and did not take away from my impression of the pair.

So cheer yourself up, brighten your day, and go Neon tree crazy!

Kinksters, Deviants, lend me your ears.

Note: I’m not into ear play. I just needed to start valiantly because this past weekend was the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death (and I’m KIND of a fan). The bard spoke heavily of codpieces, and so shall I. Today, we return to our Maskulo friends with their Men’s Fetish Wrestling Singlet. The kind that they graciously sent to me was the Open Rear option in Red.

MaskuloSingletFront

Upon opening my package (heehee), I discovered that this is a seriously sexy singlet. It is a very narrow racerback extremely low cut singlet (the torso strap in back and both in front scoop all the way to your belt line. There is a waist band going around the back, but it does not connect in front. The only thing holding the front together is the codpiece. When that comes off, it’s open from your head all the way down the front between the straps, under and behind up to the top of the butt where the waistband sits. That is some easy access shenanigans right there.

MaskuloSingletSnaps

I wanna focus on the coolest thing I’ve enjoyed about the Maskulo products. Their creativity and play with the synthetic leather panels is so cool. This company has many products with these leather-like panels on them. They quilt these panels to give them texture and volume (if you know quilting terms, it’s like a trapunto quilt). This gives their work a really sexy rugged texture. It’s in their singlets, shorts, pants, shirts, and they even make forearm gauntlets. I’m really digging this concept, and love their play with it. You can get their stuff with or without the leather panels, but I personally think that’s like going to a world class singer, and asking them just to sing a basic happy birthday. Sure, they can do it, but why not let them go wild.  They just came out with a new leggings that you need to see…seriously hot.

MaskuloSingletRear

I am really digging this Maskulo brand, and especially their political beliefs as well. Buying their stuff is not only supporting your sexy time, but supporting human rights. These singlets come in open/closed rear, and in Black, Navy, Red and Yellow (purchase at Maskulo.com or their U.S. Partner Jockstrap Central. Next week, I will be returning for Part 2 of my Army of Men lovefest. Until then, do something kinky for yourself this week.

TtheAmazing over and out!

Andrew Christian has released a new pair in his FUKR range. It’s called the FUKR Bound Brief. I know when you looked at this you thought it was something else written didn’t you? But nope, It maybe pronounced the same way but it’s not spelled it!

Andrew says this about the pair: “This pair sports our brand new, FUKR waistband and neon contrast stitching, giving all attention to your assets. Show-off extra skin with the cris-cross pattern, leaving little to the imagination. Each pair has extra room in front, just where you need it. When you pull them on, your package falls naturally into the anatomically correct pouch, showing-off your package. It virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, re-adjusting, sweating and chafing”

This is a pair has a a bit of sexy. The side has a cut out with the criss-cross on the side. It shows a bit of skin without going it all away. Another thing I really like about the pair is the waistband. Its a thicker one and the Yellow really sets both pairs off. The black and yellow is a combination that really pops.

If you’re looking or something with a bit of sex appeal and skin. This pair could be the pair for you. It’s a great pair for a date night. Especially if you’re going to get to show them off!  It’s my opinion that a date night pair should make you feel sexy!

The pair is made out of a 95% Cotton 5% Spandex. It also comes in either black or red. Both pairs have the new FUKR yellow waistband. If you love this pair and want to get it, this limited edition pair retails for $25 at the Andrew Christian website.  If this isn’t your cup of tea, then check out other pairs on the Andrew Christian site.

 

Timoteo_Gym_ScottGardner_LK3_426Timoteo is known for great underwear. One of the newest they have released is the “84” collection. The 84 collection has some new things and a throw back to some classic underwear. It also has a new style in the Timoteo line up. When in Vegas I got to see this collection and it really stood out and I loved it.

The new style is the Hi Cut Brief. It’s sort of a string bikini cut but not quite. It really fits in this line and keeps the super sexy silhouette. The waistband in the series is a thick band. Each one has three colors that matches  the main body and time. Speaking of waistband it has a throw back to the classic jocks and has a label right in the center of the front. I think this is an awesome touch and a homage.

The other two styles are the Athlete Jock and Jock. You maybe asking, whats the difference? The Jock is a very traditional jockstrap. The front looks similar to the Hi Cut brief but the back is a jock. The Athlete Jock is more of a jock brief. Its a bigger cut front with a jock in the back.

Something that really sets this collection off for me is the colors Timoteo used. He used Black, Blue, Red and Purple. That is the main body color. There are other colors in the waistband and trim. I really love his use of the trim contrasts the main color. Then, like I said above, the waistband ties it together. It just POPS!

The material of the 84 collection is a cotton/spandex blend. This fabric will conform to your body and feel great! Its one of the better fabric blends in the world of men’s underwear. Make sure you check the Timoteo sizing guide before buying. They have a different sizing than a lot of brands. XL goes through 36.

The pairs retail for $24 for the Jock and $26 for the Hi Cut and Athlete Jock. Find it at the Timoteo website.

1410- ChaserIt’s time for new Gregg Homme! The new collection is awesome! It’s not as big as last year’s but it’s still very much Gregg Homme! While in Vegas I got to sit down with them and talk about the new collection. They walked me through the entire thing. So here is info about the collection that launched this past Friday!

1410- Chaser Cover Page

Chaser

What is a Gregg Homme with out some extra things on the pair. They make super sexy underwear that fits as well as it looks. The Chaser has a buckle in the front, that is fully functional. This covers a separator that holds your stuff in place when detached but won’t enhance. Meaning it’s not like a c-ring and it won’t push things up. The back of each pair has mesh backs. There is no being shy in this pair. It’s all about showing off! Available in a Boxer Brief, Thong and Brief. Also available in red, blue or black.


1404- Desire 2

Desire

When I say Gregg Homme puts their spin on the pair. This is not your run of the mill animal print. This pair is laser printed and is super bright. You maybe asking “So what?” This means it won’t face or when you stretch it, you won’t loose the print. They demonstrated when you stretch the fabric, usually it goes white but this held it’s print. I was blown away. The Brief pouch and thong all have a detachable buckles on each side of the pouch.  The brief has an added back seam. This will allow for easy access. It is available in a Pouch, Boxer, thong and Brief.


1400- Erupt

Erupt

Looking for something that will enhance? The Erupt line is just the line for you. It comes with a booster/enhancer. It has a sporty/Athletic look. The front reminds me of a few of their previous collections. Specifically the Booster collection. This pair also has faux leather trim. Its not on the entire part just the booster part. I love what they did with it. Also, this pair has a thicker waistband than other pairs. Available in a Jock, Pouch, Boxer Brief, Thong and Brief. Colors are Black, White and Green.


1407- RecklessReckless

If you were looking for something that is totally fetish this one is for you! This has a faux leather look and a zipper in the front and back. Yes we just said it has a zipper. So be careful when zipping this up! You don’t want to get anything caught in it. It’s in two color themes black on black and red on black. One of my favorite is the jammer. Which is a new style for Gregg Homme. Something about this pair I find super sexy. The tank in the collection is fully detachable. The other zipper while functional don’t unzip all the way round. They are separate from each other.  The styles are the Jammer, Boxer Brief, Thong, Brief and Tank.


1406- SculptSculpt

Let’s face it Shape wear is not sexy at all and there are issues with it. Gregg Homme enters the world of Shape wear as Spanx leaves. As someone who’s worn shapewear this collection really impressed me. Gregg Homme put their distinctive spin on what shape wear is and is not. The biggest complaint is how the hell do you go to bathroom. With something with a really wide waistband its almost impossible to quickly go to the bathroom. This has a pouch that has easy access. Not to mention a great pouch! Speaking of pouch, the shapewear has a jockstrap. Which I have not seen it in any other collection. Other styles are the Brief and Boxer brief. Each style has butt lifting backs. The line is  just available in black. Greg Homme just gave the world a how to improve shapewear!


1408- ShackledShackled

If you thought the Reckless was fetish, you haven’t seen any thing yet. If you’re a fan of the leather look. Such as jocks, harnesses and the like. The Shackled collection is for you! It definitely was inspired by the leather fetish wear. The styles are Necklace/Kilt, Harness, Jock, Boxer Briefs, Thong and briefs. Each one of the styles is made out of a faux leather and have a detachable pouch. If you aren’t feeling the chains for a night out, all of them are detachable. So you can go with our without chains! The Kilt can be worn with the collection as a kilt or around your neck like a necklace.


1402- TouchTouch

If you have tried Gregg Homme or know much about them. They have pairs when you pull them out. You look at them like, “How the hell am I going to fit in this pair?” The Touch collection is “small but large in space.” It has the same fabric as the Torrid line. Which was super popular! One of my favorites is the boxer brief. I love the brief cut it has. This collection has the Mini Jock, Pouch, Boxer Briefs, Thong and Briefs. Colors are Black, Red and White.


1401- WiredWired

Is the last collection. What looks like a regular line can be deceiving! The fence is a laser print on mesh. It’s the same process as used in the Desire line. Also the Boxer Brief, Brief and Thong each have a c-ring enhancer. The Jammer and Pouch are with out the c-ring. Like other parts in the new collection have faux leather trim. Lastly, there is also a tank in the collection.

This is the collection. Make sure you go to the Gregg Homme site to see it all! I am in love with this collection.

MV-HOLE LINE - Conseptual Logo (1)Innovation meets comfort. This could be a very short description of the new Hole Line by Modus Vivendi. The third line of its extensive Spring-Summer 2016 collection and certainly one of the most sexy and innovative released from the Greek brand this year. The Hole line comprises men’s underwear, tank tops and singlets in highly fashionable and modern styles in two colours, white and grey. Cut outs, press studs and cod pieces are just a few of the design details which make this collection really stand out.

An innovative line such as the Hole Line by Modus Vivendi couldn’t come without a stunning campaign. Visionary photographer Joan Crisol was the perfect choice for the brand to shoot the campaign in Madrid. Dancers and models Davide Zongoli and Elihu Arcopom are photographed into the streets of the busy capital performing their best street dancing moves.

PQ150015_Green_1CandyMan Fashion furnished the PetitQ Two-Tone Green Floral Lace Bikini for review.

Rating: 7.6/10

  • Daily Fit: 6/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 7/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 6

Pros: Sheer, lace, true sizing, great print.

Cons: Abrasive fabric.

SALVATORE Recommendation: I was excited when word got to me that Candyman Fashion supplied the Spring PetitQ line for the UNB team to review. I’ve never worn PetitQ and couldn’t wait to give it a try. When the very skimpy pair of lace briefs arrived in the mail. I immediately planned a time to wear them during several activities.


Not only had I never worn PetitQ, this was my first time to wear lace. Before anyone decides to stop reading because you think lace is for women, give it a shot. You won’t be disappointed. After all, I’m not talking about a frilly lace (although, if that’s your thing, there’s nothing wrong with it). I’m talking about a very masculine lace that is two tone in color. It gives a very cool transparent look to your curves!

The PetitQ Two-Tone Green Floral Lace Bikini is very appealing to the eye. The fit is true and dynamically hugs the body. I typically wear an XL. The brief was true to the sizing chart supplied by the manufacturer. When I first slipped into the lacy greatness. I was concerned about how low cut the thin waisted elastic band was on the hips. Then I realized that I need to pull them up which created a cheeky affect on seat of the briefs. I thought this would bother me, but did not. I tried out my normal review “tests” by attempting to wear this pair like I do with everything else I review:

  • All day in jeans: I wish I could tell you that I made it all day in jeans wearing these great looking briefs. I didn’t! The lace fabric was so abrasive (not soft) that I had to take them off after only a few minutes under the jeans. I was bummed because they look so great on my body.
  • To bed: I definitely looked great when I dressed for bed that night. I snuggled in to for a great nights sleep only to realize that I couldn’t tolerate sleeping in the fabric either. At this point in my review experience. I was getting a little frustrated with the feel of the fabric. How could something so appealing to the eye feel so horrible up next to the skin.
  • At gym during workout: I knew this wouldn’t work out (no pun intended) well. I didn’t even try.

Because the first thing that I look for in a pair of underwear is the pouch design. Is it anatomical or not. I was excited about the room in the pouch of the brief. I would not classify this pouch in the purely ergonomical category. I would say that it is roomy enough to be very very close.

Other than the lack of softness in the fabric, the construction on the brief is top notch. The pattern is eye catching. The pouch is roomy. The leg bands and waistband are comfortable. The sizing was spot on for what was advertised. Unfortunately, the fabric is hard to overcome.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH SOMETHING SO GREAT LOOKING THAT CAN’T BE TOLERATED AS AN EVERY DAY PAIR?: I say buy it anyway and find an occasion wear you will wear it as part of a costume.  For a very brief period of time (if you know what I mean), or as a Fetish Friday fun pair. Great underwear serves a purpose. Most of the time, the good ones are for something specific. My underwear journey is helping me to be more open-minded. Thank you CandyMan Fashion and PetitQ for getting me outside of my normal “MODAL” box and into the realm of the unkown—LACE.

N2N Bodywear has announced their new lines! There may not be very many of them, but boy are they interesting! First up is the Spartan line, available in Grey Mint, and white. It is available in a trunk, brief, jock, and thong. It features a very cool looking color contrasting waistband. The contrast colors they chose look really good as well! Orange for the grey, yellow for the mint, and red for the white. The jock has wide back straps, and the thong has a smaller “G” style back typical of newer N2N thongs.

Next up is the Santorini line, and boy does it stand out! Available in two colors, white and blue. Also in five styles, Brief, Bikini, trunk Jock, and thong. This style stands out with a waistband pattern styled to look like stylized waves you might see outlining a wall on some ancient greek tomb. It really looks like a fun and unique line, while the light blue used looks ready for spring.

If you like patterns, but you want the pattern on more than just the waistband. The Studio Groove line might be more your style. Available in just two styles, trunk an brief. This line comes in three colors, each of which has an awesome looking pattern.


RS1-16-9

Looking for something sporty?
Then check out the Indy Racer line. Like the last line, just available in trunk and brief. The line sports three classic collegiate colors: Navy, Grey, and white. Each pair boasts two contrasting stripes on the right hip to really hone in on that sporty feel.

N2N is also offering a line that I feel is meant for the bedroom, called Silk. Available in just two skimpy styles, thong and bikini. These pairs give off a suave, sophisticated feel that I just love about N2N. They are available in Teal, Grey, Brown, and Sand.

It’s spring so lets go to something brighter, like the new Neon take on the Classic line. It’s the same pairs as before; boxer, boxer, brief, bikini, thong, and jock. But now available in a fun neon pink or yellow, which looks more like a green to me.


UN4-16-1

Another take on the cotton line is the Stone Wash Classic Cotton. Available only in a really nice shade of blue, which they call Pacific blue. Available, like the neon line in boxer, boxer, brief, bikini, thong, and jock. If you are a fan of blue colored underwear like I am, you should be really looking forward to these.


FR4-16-4

The Fresh line looks, as it’s name implies, fresh! Available in spring time shade of white, blue and green. Available as a boxer, brief, bikini, and jock. What sets this line apart from the ones mention earlier is that this line looks to be a bit more see through than the others. We here think it might make good gym wear.

The Classic cotton line returns this year, and not just in the other colors mentioned earlier. In black and white, you can get nearly the entire gambit of underwear styles that N2N makes. From a Long John all the way down to a thong.

Lastly, also returning is the popular net line. Like the cotton line, it is only available in black and white. It is available as a trunk, brief, bikini, jock, thong, and g-string.

So what do you think of N2N’s new collections? Which one was your favorite? I have a hard time choosing, myself. They have really outdone themselves this year it looks like and I can’t wait to add some of these pairs to my collection.
