No Comments

MV-Narrow-Line-With-Logo-photos (9)

One of the main trends in Modus Vivendi’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection is the return of stripes. The Greek underwear and menswear brand has just released a new line that features stripes combined with neon accents. The new Narrow Line comprises four styles of underwear and some great looking T-Shirts to wear them with! The underwear styles are briefs, mini briefs, boxer briefs and jockstraps, all of which are available in three colourways, with thin black and white stripes as the base and vibrant, neon waists and trim. 

The campaign photographs were shot in the dunes of Pinamar in Argentina by one of today’s hottest South American photographers, Gastohn Barrios. The campaign presents a nautical theme and the sexy sailor on shore leave is portrayed by model Daian Zubieta.

Masculinity in Men’s Underwear – What is it?

No Comments

1We all love men’s underwear. Each of us has our favorite styles, colors and fabrics. Underwear really is a personal experience for each guy. I think this is why we have such a passion for great underwear. We get to wear what fits us the best and makes us feel sexy as hell!

I got thinking of Masculinity in underwear after a talk with Andy (an interview coming out soon). He’s Leather Title holder and wears lace. I won’t go into all we talked about, but it is going to be a great talk! Our talk lasted about an hour. To coin a term used today “He gives no fucks” in what he wears.

Masculinity goes beyond lace. It centers around fabric, styles and colors. Society has told us what a man should wear. It shouldn’t be this and it shouldn’t be that. It should only be in this narrow defined category. Outside of that, some people will wonder if you’re light in the loafers.

Luckily, we are in a time that is changing. In the late 2000’s the color pink came into the world of men’s underwear. It took the industry by storm. Guys couldn’t get enough pink. Before this time, pink was not a color that mainstream companies would use for underwear. It was considered a color that was only used in women’s underwear. Now, very few give it a second thought about wearing or using pink. Other colors have started to come into men’s underwear as a result. Pastels, purple, and others considered on the feminine side are being produced every year.

Next is fabric. Not just lace but other fabrics are considered not manly. Silk was only to be used in boxers. While satin was not to be used at all. It had to be 100% cotton. Anything outside of that was a no no. We are shattering those rules. Satin underwear can be super sexy.  Brands like BodyAware are showing just how sexy. I think I have seen underwear in just about every fabric combination. Brands like Gregg Homme and Pistol Pete are always playing with new fabrics to give guys more options. And let’s not forget Mesh. I could go on for hours about mesh! But I won’t!

Lastly is styles. This is a debate we still have going on today in mainstream society. Guys should just wear tights whities, boxer briefs or boxers. Anything that shows off the bulge, is a different cut or sexualizes a guy is not tolerated. Thongs are showing a up swing in popularity. This is across the board and not just for the gay market. Yet, for many of our straight underwear brothers, they are in the underwear closet. They get labeled “gay” or “fruity” for liking the fit and comfort.  The same is said of bikinis or anything that is smaller than the “norm.”

I’m making a bold statement and saying that all men’s underwear is masculine. That is underwear that is designed for men and accommodates their assets (for a lack of better word). Yes, certain styles may not fit society or our own ideals of Masculinity. Just think, maybe for that guy who does wear them thinks its masculine.

Each of us has our own definition of masculinity. Mine is “a guy doing what he wants that empowers him and makes him feel great.” We need to all band together and fight the male underwear double standard. Wear what you feel great in, and pardon my language but “Fuck anyone who doesn’t agree.”  We will explore this topic a lot more!

Review: N2N Bodywear Stone Wash Classic Cotton G

1 Comment

UN2-16-3The Stone Wash Classic Cotton G was furnished by N2N Bodywear.

Rating: 8.2/10

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

Pros: Interesting color, good looking thong.

Cons: A little worried about the wrong tag.

Underweardude recommendation: If you like to wear thongs on a day to day basis, or even if you don’t. This would make a fine addition to your underwear drawer.

Today I will be reviewing another new pair that I received for review by N2N.  A cousin of the Neon G from a few days ago. You might say, the Stone Wash Classic Cotton G. Like the Neon pair. What makes this pair different from the core Classic Cotton line is the color. On its website N2N says it is “Pigment dyed for a vintage look”, and that definitely  rings true. Sure, at first glance it does just sort of look like a plain old blue, but not quite. The shade feels basic, yet also deep and complex. It’s hard to describe. To me, it also makes the fabric look a bit worn in already, in a sense.  But in a good UN2-16-7way, like wearing a significant others shirt or such. Like you’ve owned it for years right out of the box. That may not be an ideal look for everyone, but I think it brings a sense of charm to the pair. As long time readers might know, blue is one of my favorite colors, so of course I jumped at a chance to try this pair. Like the Neon line, the size/care tags are dyed nearly the exact same color as the pair. I’m really enjoying this trend. If you aren’t getting rid of or are unable to get rid of care/size tags, you might as well have some fun with them. Would love to see other designers who haven’t already gone to printing that information on the pair directly  pick up this idea. Size wise the pair was pretty much fine, as usual for me, since I practically straddle the S/M divide.

There was one odd thing with the pair. The tag stated that the pair was not cotton, but polyester. I was profoundly confused. A quick check of  N2N’s website states that. Obviously, the line is made out of cotton.  The pair feels nearly identical to the other cotton N2N pairs that I own. Though I do not consider myself an expert on this by any means. I chalk it up to simple manufacturing mistake. I’ve been wearing N2N for about a decade now, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this. Not a big worry to me.

Though I normally don’t participate in the trend of Thong Thursday, I wanted to give this pair a real good test. I wore it for a  long walk and to work. I only really noticed it once at work, and it quickly went back to normal. The pair didn’t get annoying or needed any adjustment. Despite the near constant movement required at my job.  Like its brightly colored cousin I reviewed recently. I would certainly recommend this pair for a thong lover wanting to get an N2N cotton pair with just a bit more color to it tun usual. A good middle ground between the more subdued colors offered by the main line, and the loud colors available in Neon.

BRAND: N2N Bodywear
PAIR: Stone Wash Classic Cotton G
COLORS: Pacific Blue
FABRIC: 80% cotton / 20% spandex
SIZES: Small – XL
COST: $17.00

Review: N2N Bodywear Neon Cotton Classic G

No Comments

NC10-16-3

The Neon Cotton Classic G is Furnished by N2N Bodywear

Rating: 8.5/10

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 8.5/10

Pros: Great color, good look.
Cons: No overwhelming cons.
Underweardude Recommendation: If you like brightly colored thongs. This pair is for you.

When I first got a look at N2N’s new lines for 2016, I was surprised. Not only did they have a bunch of new lines. They decided to turn one line into several by branching out the Classic Cotton line. Adding two other varieties to it. Today I will be talking about the Classic Cotton Neon line. Specifically the Neon G. The Neon line is a new variety from the venerable classic cotton line by N2N. Much about the pair is the same as older versions of the line, except for one major difference: the color. While previously available only on more traditional tones. This line comes in bright and loud neon varieties of pink and yellow.

N2N provided the pair for review, and from the moment I took it out of the packaging I couldn’t wait to try it on.  The color is just great. While I usually stay away from pairs in these sort of shades, I love the look of the yellow pair I received. The yellow hue that was chosen is strong, not pale, and in some angles and types of light it almost looks neon green to me. The color of the pair just pops while you wear it, and is a great idea to shake up the line. A nice small touch is that the size/care tag is dyed the same color as the pair. Which N2N seems to be doing a lot these days but I quite like the attention to detail. The sizing was fine for me. Perhaps a tiny bit tight but i’m on the larger side of size small and after wearing it for awhile it went away.

Besides the color change, this is the N2N Classic Cotton thong you know and love. Great pouch, good low rise fit, skimpy, but still covers more than you’d think. I think the bright color helps show off the cut. I like how I look in this pair a fair bit more than the dark grey pair I already own.  I wore this pair on the weekend,and it performed admirably. Whether it was out and about running errands, household chores, a long walk, or a night out with friends. This thong pretty much didn’t bother me at all. I also honestly couldn’t stop checking out how it looks in the mirror. That color is simply fantastic!

If you want a great everyday thong with a pop of color, look no farther. If you already own a Classic Cotton thong, think of it as a car you love, but now with an awesome new paint job. Simply put, this takes an already good daily wearable thong, which not too many are, and adds a great look to it. I really wish they had one in neon green too. I like it that N2N is not only coming out with new lines. But expanding their core products with additional variety, which I think is a great idea. As for what the other new variety of Classic Cotton is, well, you’ll just have to wait for my next post to find out.

FETISH FRIDAY: Décolletage

No Comments

Hello Kinksters,

How have you been these past couple weeks? I am quite exhausted this week. Not only am I working the youth summer camp at the circus school during the day. I somehow agreed to sub a coworker’s week of adult night classes as well. The upside is that I’m ready to go on my gaycation next week (fabulous gay resort for all of next week in Florida). This week’s Fetish Friday is a concept post, about a trend I see pop up here and there. I have to credit BeauBriefs for posting a pic on twitter (@underloverwear) of his new JackAdams Jockstrap that has a window just above his penis. I have a few pairs of undies with a window there too, so I started thinking about the art of the male décolletage.

Now, traditionally the term décolletage applies to the area of a woman’s chest above her breasts to her neck. Most often used to talk about necklines of dresses that enhance or showcase that part of a woman’s body. For this post, I would like to broaden that term. Transform the term’s meaning into any fashion that highlights the area leading up to an area of heightened arousal.

DecolletageAndrewChristianTeaserBoxer

Now, you aren’t ever EVER gonna find me telling people what I want them to do with their pubic hair. But I am gonna share that in my opinion, the hottest “style” for any of these looks is slightly trimmed to moderately trimmed. I don’t find the baby-shaved look that appealing. I think the full bush might detract from the window concept a little.

The brand BeauBriefs was rocking on his twitter is the Punter Body Flex Jockstrap from Jack Adams USA. I think that’s next on my purchase list (thanks Beau for the inspiration).

DecolletageJackAdams

BodyAware makes a pretty fun Neon Cabana Tanga with the window too. It comes in Neon Orange, Neon Green and Neon Yellow.

DecolletageBodyAware

I would love readers to suggest their favorite male décolletage pairs that I haven’t mentioned. Let’s see how many we can find. What are your feelings on this? Décolletage: love it or leave it?

Until next time my sexy friends,

Keep it kinky!

TtheAmazing, over and out.

Who Influences your underwear choices?

No Comments

What is yourIn our reader survey we asked you guys who influences your buying decisions. It’s not like you can walk in any department store and buy what you want, when you want it. Many brands are only available through the net. Then there is the whole double standard (which I have tried to write about 3 times today and just gave up. It’s a complicated issue). After 5 paragraphs in I asked, Is this topic important to say or am I preaching to the choir. I chose the later.

Emails from brands

This one was a shock for me. Not that it’s an influencer but it’s number one. There is a combination of why this makes sense. The first is they announce when new pairs are released. You will be given a link and be able to buy right then. Sometimes we get advance notice and publish it before it’s available to buy. Next, brands and retailers send out emails about sales. If it’s a good sale, you guys will definitely shop!

Reviews

This one made us at UNB very happy. We love sharing our opinions on the brands we review. Sometimes they are good and other times they are bad. Reviews allow you to hear how someone liked the pair. What are the great points and the parts we fell need some work. This is one area where if you have further questions we didn’t cover, contact us and we will answer them for you. It may help us refine our review process.

Social Media influencers

I figured this would be the top influencer of you guys. Social media influencers are more than just guys posting pictures in underwear. You guys mentioned other underwear blogs like The Bottom Drawer and Men’s Underwear Blog. Real guys on social media like Underweardude, Bikinisnthongs and BiThongdude. Celebrities such as Seth Fornea and Colby Melvin. And lastly brands such as Nasty Pig, International Jock and  Dead Good Undies. Twitter wasn’t the only social media sites you guys use. Other sites were Instagram and Tumblr.

News Write Ups

News write ups are posts on our blog and others informing you on what new pairs are released. Not everyone wants to sign up brand’s email list. We try to keep you informed as much as we can. Even introduce you to new and up and coming brands. We have included new posts to profile pairs. Post such as Jockstrap Wednesday, Thong Thursday, Swimwear Sunday and Undie Monday. We do this because we think deserve more attention. It’s not easy to keep up with all the pairs released. But we do our best to cover things we think are fun and awesome.

Partner/significant other

As much as we say we pick our own undies. Our partners/significant others play a big part in what we buy. That is if you have one! You will buy things that they will like to see you wearing. Some guys get their partners involved in the purchase. Our very own Salvatore usually gets his wife to pick out a lot of his review pairs he receives from us. I’m sure more husbands and wives do this for their partner. They may have veto power or not. When I last dated my partner at the time hated one pair that I loved. I bought it anyway.

Friends

Lastly, friends influence you. This could be real life friends or social media friends. Some of us have friends we can talk underwear with at times. We can talk about new brands and what we love. Others don’t have that in their lives. Enter the world of Twitter where you can create a pseudonym and talk to like-minded guys. In a judgement free zone. It doesn’t matter if you’re gay/bi/straight. We are all brothers in underwear.

My personal influencers are: Social Media, Brands and friends. I have made a lot of friends through the blog and many will email me when they find a new brand. Also, I’ll see new lines and brands online. We don’t always get notified when there are new lines out. Some brand produces new pairs every two weeks. Lastly, are brands. Much like you guys I do subscribe to email lists and get to see when things are released.

These are just a few of the top influencers you guys pointed out to us. It gives us some great insight into what motivates you guys! I hope you enjoy these posts. You guys are the most amazing guys!

Desire Gregg Homme for Thong Thursday

No Comments

140404-18-far-front

It’s time to live it up this Thong Thursday! What better brand to do that than Gregg Homme. The makers of some of the best eroticwear on the planet. I have yet to wear anything from them that I didn’t like. Plus the quality of the construction and fabric is in a class all it’s own! So what did we choose for this Thong Thursday? Why the Desire thong of course!

Why wear some boring white (sorry white fans) undies to work today under you suit or khakis. Wear something super hot that will bring out the animal in you! The Desire thong will do just that, make you feel super sexy! The official description is: “Desire introduces a refined wild look that is laser printed on a fine European silk knit with soft hand feel.  The Desire animal print thong is seductively wild in men’s fashion underwear. Finishing includes one of a kind Gregg Homme logo detachable clip with logo.”

Gregg Homme takes underwear designing to the next level. You hear laser print but what does that mean. It means when the fabric is stretched it won’t loose it’s color. Some times when fabrics are printed, when you stretch the fabric it turns white, this will not do that. I saw it in person and it’s pretty amazing.

Also, the pair has a detachable clip. This won’t come in handy at work but may after. So you can perfect your favorite Magic Mike moves for your partner of choice.  Thong Thursday should be about fun and trying something new. The thong comes in two color combinations for the print. Make sure you give the Desire thong a look for your next thong day!

Review – Junk UnderJeans Junk X Briefs

No Comments

productview1-341

Junk UnderJeans furnished this pair for review

Rating: 9.6/10

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

Pros: Fun, bold color, good/compact sizing, great durability.

Cons: No overwhelming cons.

UNB Tim recommendation: A great pair if you’re looking for a big more room up front! Super comfy and feels great throughout the day.

Junk Underjeans is a brand we have been friends with for a while. They are always at Magic in Vegas. They are a brand we need to cover more. The last time we reviewed them was a few years ago. They have grown and evolved over the last few years. I am loving what they are doing. We have underwear and activewear reviews coming your way soon.

The pair I am reviewing is the Junk X Burn Brief. This is the first time I have worn Junk UnderJeans. I was really excited to try the Junk X line because the line has a larger pouch. Its not a super large pouch but it’s definitely larger than the average. I slid them on and I didn’t have that magic moment when you slide on underwear that you felt was made just for you. It felt like a good pair of briefs. The pouch seemed just ok to me.

productview2-341It wouldn’t be till later that I would appreciate the pouch. The fit in these were very good. You can tell they designed these for guys to wear on a daily basis. As the day went on I totally forgot what I was wearing. To some this maybe a bad thing but not for me. If I wear a pair of underwear and forget I have them on it’s the sign of a great pair.

I wore these on a day when I knew I would be a bit active. I worked my part time job, that is a bit more active than my usual day. They held up really well with the lifting and driving I had to do that day. You definitely can wear these for a lazy day or an active day. I would dare say that these to the gym for great support.

The sizing of Junk UnderJeans is pretty spot on. In fact in certain lines they are making an XXL. These are just up to an XL. Which by happens to be the size I got. I’m still working my way back down to a large. It fit pretty well. It wasn’t too tight or too loose. The sizing across the board on Junk UnderJeans are pretty consistent. You should have no issues with them in sizing.

Some things I really liked about this pair is first the fabric. it’s a 90% POLYESTER/10%SPANDEX blend. I really loved the 10% spandex most. It gives it some great stretch. Next, is waistband. This isn’t a totally branded waistband but has the Junk X line name across the band. As for things I don’t like, there aren’t a lot. I was super happy with the pair. I would say that they could make the pouch a big bitter, but as it is snug but not too snug.

Jockstrap Wednesday – C-IN2 Grip Mesh

No Comments

1bfe7555c1864651b8b25f661f595162-Jpg-500-500-Cropped-High

It’s Wednesday, that mean’s its time to support the jock! The pair we are profiling this week is great for a Jockstrap Wednesday and also great for a 4th of July celebration. It’s the C-IN2 Grip Mesh jock in the USA color combination. The Grip jock is a great take on the classic Jock that C-IN2 released a few years ago.

The new mesh collection has three different countries. They are USA, Brazil and China. Of course we chose the USA for this year. You can wear the Brazil during the Summer Olympics this summer. Why not cheer on your favorite country wearing the host country’s jock!

I have been a fan of their jocks since they had the Bamboo collection. Their jocks are perfect to wear during any work out or just a lazy day at home. C-IN2 jocks are for all occasions. We have readers who believe this is true of all jocks. More guys are starting to wear them as daily wear as opposed to the gym or other activities.

If by chance you don’t want to show off any national pride and want to remain neutral. There are a few solid colors in the Grip Mesh line. However, we think these country colors are pretty awesome. You can find this pair at the C-IN2 website or at your favorite retailer.

BRAND: C-IN2
LINE: Grip Mesh
STYLE: Jock
COLORS: USA, China and Brazil
FABRIC: 96% Polyester, 4% Spandex/Elastane/Lycra
SIZES: Small – XL

Review – N2N Bodywear SU2 Spartan Jock

  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 10/10

PROS

CONS

  • Legs straps are a bit thick
  • Leg openings were a bit tight for me

 

Back in the saddle and this time I’m reviewing the N2N Spartan Jock.  N2N is one of favorite brands so I wasn’t expecting anything less than another A+ pair of undies.  The Spartan line runs the gamut from thong and jocks to briefs and trunks.  I received grey/orange but they are also available in mint green/yellow and white with red & navy accents.  When I first opened the package I immediately loved the color combination and the fun, Greek-inspired waistband.  I’m a pretty simple guy but a little flair here and there is a nice touch.  The fabric is 95% cotton and 5% spandex so it’s very soft and has a good amount of stretch.  I did expect this to be a “fun” jock rather than an actual gym jock mainly because the leg straps are quite thick and closer to an assess briefs, which in my experience is not very practical for exercise.

I kept thinking of a day to wear these and was putting it off and then realized I needed to get this review in ASAP so I ended up wearing them all day at work.  Certainly not my plan but there is something fun about being “forced” to wear something…but that’s for a different blog, I suppose.  These actually held up a lot better than I would think for a work day and I actually think they’re better suited for regular wear than active wear.

I wore a medium and they fit well.  The size chart says it covers 30”-34” which is a pretty big range.  I’m generally a 31-32 and was fine but I think if you’re a 34, they might be a bit snug.

My favorite features of the Spartan Jock are definitely the nice fabric and the fun waistband.  I loved the color I received but the others look great, as well, and I definitely want to try the thong and brief.  N2N is great about having simple, modern designs but also offering things with a twist when you want to step out a little – or a lot.  I could have used a bit more stretch in the leg area but I’ve got tree trunk legs so a good portion of that issue is just me.  The “straps” are also pretty thick and did gather every so often but it wasn’t really a problem.  The pouch is supportive and shows things off the right amount for me.

I must admit that jocks and assess briefs are never my go-to underwear and yet I have several of both.  When comparing these to the others, they definitely rank in the top 3 or 4 – not just in the style department but they were actually more comfortable that I was expecting and ended up being a nice surprise.   I also got a surprise when a coworker saw the waistband and made a comment about the pattern.  He knows I’m into undies so it wasn’t out of line but did perk me up a bit when I realized this pair will get a nice reaction!   🙂

Love UNB? Help us out!

No Comments

Support UNB (1)We know we have a lot of fans out there. On our social media accounts we get some great feed back from you guys. It’s not always how great we are, but things we are doing wrong too. That’s one thing I love about you guys. Many of you aren’t afraid to call us out when we aren’t doing something right. To do a blog you have to listen tot he good and bad. Sometimes the bad is not easy to hear but it makes you better in the long run.

Recently, we conducted our Annual Reader Survey. This past month we did a similar post to brands. It gave us just as much insight as our readers have done. We discovered that the two overlap a lot more than we would have thought. We will continue to do this to keep improving the site and work on meeting your, the readers,  expectations and also brand expectations.

The brand survey reinforced that the Patreon was the right choice. It takes money to put on a blog the size of UNB. Plus we have plans for the future and need your help to accomplish them! The costs to run the site aren’t sexy. Such as hosting, email, postage and such. Then there are shoots we want to do for you guys. You mentioned in the survey you want to see real guys in pictures and shoots. Also you want to see up and coming models. These will be shoots we will have to pay for ourselves.

What can you do to help? We have a sizable reader base and if just 1/4 of you donated just $1 a month it would be an amazing help. If you wanted to donate more we wouldn’t turn it down! It could help us improve the content of the blog and expand to more areas you guys are interested in us covering.

What would your monthly donation do and what are our needs:

  • Help cover the costs of running the blog, specifically hosting the site monthly
  • Improve writing – I know, sometimes we don’t write so good (sorry had too). While we have improved I would like to get a Grammerly to double check our writing. Being dyslexic sometimes I miss things.
  • Do more shoots through out the year showing up and coming models. Also finally do that real guy shoot
  • Buy underwear/gear we can’t get to do reviews. We have great relationships with brands but there are some we don’t. We want to do reviews on these pairs.

There are many more areas. If you donate you will become part of the UNB Team. Its simple to do. Just go to the UNB Patreon site and set up a monthly donation. We love our Patreons and readers. Let’s get UNB to that next level.

No Comments

activeman-elite-jockstrap-sale

It’s a bad news good news sort of day. As we told you, Activeman has discontinued their incredible Modal Trunks (boxer briefs) and Sports Briefs and now they’ve discontinued their stunning Elite Jockstaps as well. The good news is we bought up what we could and now Activeman underwear is further discounted, now by 35% and all our Activeman Elite Jockstraps are on clearance for 25% off. This is your last chance to get some of this awesome gear.

The trunks are made with Modal, a natural fabric made from the beach tree. They’re ergonomically designed and the Modal has super-stretch qualities to comfortably hold anything you stuff into it or whatever state of arousal you’re in. The Sports Briefs also have a contoured pouch made of a super-soft cotton with a hint of Spandex for fit and shape retention.

As for the Activeman Elite Jocks, they are one of nicest looking fashion jocks around, they are stylish and comfortable with a comfort contoured pouch and a very unique strap design that runs from the front all the way around to the back. They come in three flavors: red, white or gold. It will be shame when these are gone.

Review – N2N Bodywear Indy Racer Brief

No Comments

RS1-16-3

The Indy Racer Brief is furnished by N2N Bodywear

Ratings:

  • Fit –9
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 8
  • Styling – 8
  • Performance – 8
  • Overall -8.4

Pros:

  • Edgy design
  • Secure anatomical pouch
  • Tight butt

Cons:

  • Center seam
  • Pricy

Undies Rock Recommendation: This may be on the slightly pricier side for a cotton brief but the style and cut will not let you down. This pair will leave you feeling and looking great

Hey underwear fans, it’s been a while since I’ve been at it. I got a little consumed with my personal and work lives but I’m glad to be back with some kick ass reviews. I’m really excited for the next few reviews I have lined up because they are for one of my favorite local brands, N2N!

Right now, I have for you the RS1 Indy Racer Brief by N2N in white.  Let’s start off by saying this brief is all pouch and butt!  As you might assume from the name, the brief is more on the sporty side. The thin breathable material is comprised mostly of cotton (90%) and with 10% spandex for extra movement and snug fit. The design is breathable with a single-ply, slightly transparent design. N2N’s “patented” Xtreme pouch design provides just enough support for your package. It allows for great comfort especially for those who are well endowed. Without being over restricting. The cup acts as its own protective barrier by isolating your package. Preventing it from chaffing.  This is a huge plus in my book, as having a pouch where the sides don’t stretch out is essential.  I will also add that the pouch has more of an anatomical and slightly narrow fit. With a center seam (always a turnoff).  One of my favorite aspects of the brief is the cut of the butt. It’s a mid-coverage, saucy design that sits low on the waist. It has a snug tight fit and doesn’t stretch out and lose its form or move around during the day.  I test drove a medium, which is rated for a 30-34 inch waist.  I am roughly a 33 inch waist, and like I said this brief is right on point.  The butt is super secure, and pouch has well defined perimeter with an anatomical vibe.  The construction is rock solid, and they have held up quite well to numerous washes.  Ultimately you can’t go wrong with a great tight fitting pair of white briefs.  They are so basic and always hit the spot!

The cotton construction has a sporty vibe. The two contrasting racer stripes on the sides and supportive cup. If you are a fan of exercising in cotton underwear, you will definitely dig this pair. Otherwise, it’s just an overall awesome pair for most activities, including long work days.  Personally I like this brief for lounging around for its comfy and sexy style.  If you are a more conversations underwear fan but are curious about edgier styles. This Indy Racer Brief is a perfect introductory pair. The style includes 2 inch sides and as mentioned before, low rise, mid coverage design.

The Indy Racer Brief comes in three colors. It has contrasting stripe/stitching options. The colors are white with blue, navy blue with yellow, and heather gray with orange. All of them look sweet and are sure to be winners. This pair can be found on the N2N website at $22 each. This may be on the slightly pricier side for a cotton brief but the style and cut will not let you down. This pair will leave you feeling and looking great!

Review – N2N Bodywear Dream Pant

No Comments

L6-15-AThe N2N Bodywear Dream Pant was furnished By N2N Bodywear for Review

Rating: 9.2/10

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

Pros: Super soft material. great fitting. Amazingly comfortable.
Cons: Not everyone likes loungewear, If not wearing undies you can show off everything.

UNB Tim recommendation: If you want super comfortable loungewear, this is the pair for you. N2N Bodywear makes amazing loungewear as well as swimwear

Loungewear is not something we cover enough on the blog. Its something most guys either like or don’t like. I will be the first to admit that before UNB I was never a loungewear guy. I would throw on a pair of shorts or hang out in my underwear. After almost 8 years on UNB, I have discovered how amazing loungewear truly can be. Sure we all love to hang out in undies, but there are those times when you can’t. Maybe its a trip with friends/family, having guests at your home or you just need a cover up to answer the door.

The Dream line from N2N Bodywear has a brief, hoodie, pant and robe. I have a pair of the N2N Lounge Pants. Which is the “lounge” line from N2N. It’s a little confusing. I loved these because they were so comfy. I wanted to try more of the loungewear from N2N. These pants really didn’t let me down. When I put them on they felt great. The first time I put them on I wore them without underwear. Well that may not be the best thing around others. It made certain things very noticeable. If you’re with your partner or alone this is fine. You may not want to do this around others. The second time was with my Studio Groove briefs and it was fine.

I love the fabric of this line. The Dream line has a 92% polyester / 8% spandex. The fabric is super soft and has some good stretch to it. These are a bit loose and the spandex gives it a little bit of stretch where you need it. These are currently my favorite lounge wear. Yes, I have been working on UNB many times while I”m kicking it in my N2N Dream pants.

Sizing for loungwear runs different that underwear. The waist isn’t the only factor. The length of the pants are important too. You don’t want to seem like you’re running out to go clam digging. I received and XL and the waist was fine and the length was great. Being 6’4″ sometimes pants can run short. These didn’t and I was very happy.

These were great to wear. I need to get an entire sex of the Dream line. They are amazing pants and if you’re in the market for new lounge pants check these out and not those flannel ones. These are perfect especially for summer. They are lighter and a lot more fashionable.

BRAND: N2N Bodywear
PAIR: Dream Pant
COLORS: Black or White
FABRIC:92% polyester / 8% spandex
SIZES: Small – XL
COST: $38.00

Fetish Friday – UNB Favorite Fetish Wear

No Comments

Fetish Friday -Have you ever wondered what your follow UNB readers love in fetishwear? I think we all want to know what another guy likes. This is out of curiosity for me. What are other guys wearing and why do they wear that style? Over the course of UNB I have had the pleasure to talk to numerous readers about what they love. Fetishwear is starting to go mainstream. There is less social stigma about it and wearing it. It’s something we have noticed in the last few years. Even our straight underwear loving brothers are “getting their freak on.”

In our reader survey we ran in May, we asked you guys what you love in fetishwear. This is just the top six answers. The rest were one off and a few mentioned Jockstraps and thongs.

UNB Favorite Fetishwear

48% of you guys love spandex. This includes runners, singlets, bike shorts and more. By in far the most popular of the fetish world. The second is Lingerie (Lace) at 18% of you love putting on something fun. Third is the other end of the spectrum, 15% enjoy Leather and harnesses. 12% are unsure about fetishwear. 4% love Rubber/latex and 3% are fans of mesh .

This is a wide range of different tastes in fetishwear. Leather and lace are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Now that we know what you guys love. What are some of your favorite fetish brands? We asked this as well and you guys told us. Here are the top brands you guys picked:

This list reflects the likes you guys listed above. Its a good mix of different types of gear. Gregg Homme has a bit of everything. Some of the best made underwear in the fetish area. N2N Bodywear is known for its super hot spandex gear, Andrew always blows it out of the water. Nasty Pig, Fort Troff, Cellblock 13, Mr. S Leather all reflect the more leather side of the spectrum. BodyAware and Candyman are known for lace and more lingerie. ManStore has some really fun gear that falls in several categories. Lastly is Cocksox, which I don’t consider fetishwear, but you guys do!

We will be bringing you a good mix of Fetishwear coming up. That doesn’t mean we won’t throw in some interesting gear as it comes out! Have fun and wear what you love!
