FuriousFotog shot two readers favorites in one. First he shot Marshall Arkley in Sukrew underwear! Marshall is a great guy and we love his work with Sukrew and Deadgoodundies.com
A reader asked about the size of our collections and how we manage them in terms of deciding what to keep, what to wear on a daily basis, etc. Here’s kind of how I handle mine. First off, I use to think I had a large collection of underwear. That perception changed some, since I started blogging. I’ve heard the amount of what others have and it seems I need to go on a buying binge. At the moment I’m approaching 175 pairs of bikinis and thongs. I’m slightly weighted more towards bikinis than thongs, but not by much.
I first separate my underwear into what I call old, but still good to wear and then my good ones. So I have about 125 I consider good and 50 I consider old. Now the old pairs I wear more when I’m planning on getting sweaty, since sweat can be hard on the material and elastic. The good obviously would be my everyday pairs. When does good become old and old become retired? Basically old underwear gets retired if the elastic is shot or develops a hole. Good underwear becomes old if it has been around a while, fades, or gets discolored. Also any general signs of wear or one I don’t really wear much and don’t care about.
What I choose to wear for the day normally just depends on my mood in the morning. If I’m in the mood for a thong I go for it otherwise it will be a bikini. Some days I want a real nice snug fitting pair; other days just whatever. If I know I’m going to be active like playing a sport then it will be a great supporting pair. If I know I might be seen in my undies then I most likely won’t go too crazy with my choice. Typically that means no thong and nothing too loud or sheer. I’m finally past the point that I don’t care too much if I’m seen in a bikini that is a little on the skimpy side. Now it doesn’t mean I try to let the world see, but if someone gets a peek so be it. Next step is to get to that point with a thong. I’m not one to match my underwear to my outfit. I have enough trouble matching tops and bottoms as is. I try to match for the holiday or occasion, since my wife points out when I don’t. That’s the general idea on how I manage my undies.
The Billy line from aussieBum has become a staple of the brand. Since the release of the first pair, the Billy has been known for really fun prints. Now the range comes in Eternity and Skulls. These definitely live up to the past pairs of the style. Remember the 80’s inspired prints?
The Billy is for the guy who wants a minimal waistband. I know we have plenty of readers who are not big fans of a waistband. It also has one of the best examples of a modern bikini. The cut has no fly, in a brief cut and the minimal waistband makes it complete. The hipster was released shortly after the brief. It has the same minimal waistband as the brief.
The Eternity line is a bandana print. Meaning it looks like a classic bandana. At least that’s the way I see it. You could say it is sort of a paisley print as well. It’s one type of print that is rarely used in underwear. We see it pop up every now and then. aussieBum really put their spin on it and it came out great! Colors are Black, Navy, Ice and red.
If you aren’t a fan of the Eternity maybe the Skulls is for you. It’s not as morbid as you might think. Skulls in underwear can be very hit or miss for me. The ones I tend to like are the Day of the Dead inspired ones. These are more traditional but not too creepy. I would say it takes a certain kind of guy to pull these off! Colors are Blue, Black, Aqua and Red
The pairs retail $13.50 for the brief and $14.25 for the hipster. Also you can find the Billy in other colors and prints on the aussieBum site. Now go shop for some awesome undies from down under! Also be sure to check out the new swim ranges!
One of our Twitter followers, Citylad78, posted this pic on Twitter. He’s a suit lover and is wearing a jock under his suit. We think suits are made for fun undies, like a jock. Citylad78, gave us his permission to post his pic. We hope you enjoy seeing a real guy in undies. We hope to post many more!
Todd Sanfield has created an awesome new collection. It’s classic but still has an amazing sexy look to the collection. This is Todd in one of his new jocks!
The pair of the week is the Baskit Ribbed Brief. Here is what Baskit has to say about the pair:
Our Ribbed collection provides great style. With our wide-ribbed fabric design and superior support, you’re left feeling free and less constricted due to the elasticity of the ribbed fabric construction. Our Briefs are known for their amazing pouch fit and a great low profile on your waist, drawing attention to your best assets without sacrificing comfort.

Victoria Blue

Cellblock 13 is one of the go to pairs for fetish wear. Over the years we have seen football pants, harnesses, singlets and more! It’s a brand that is as much fun to wear as it is to see. One of the newest lines is the Dark Room. And what happens in the dark room stays in the dark room!What sets the Dark Room collection apart from the other Cellblock 13 collections is the mesh. The mesh is nylon/spandex mesh that is 100% see through. But don’t let that scare you. Each of the pouches is made out of solid material. It’s one of the sexiest pairs I think Cellblock 13 has ever made.
I say this because its not “fetish wear’ that you couldn’t wear as underwear. Sometimes you get something fetishy and it can only be worn in certain instances. The Dark Room could be worn on a date or a night out. If you get lucky and take off your pants you shouldn’t get any strange looks. But hopefully rather “OMG those are sexy.”
One of the big things I love about this line is the waistband. It’s a new waistband with the cellblock name with big 13 in red. I’m a big waistband guy and it definitely can make or break a pair. This one definitely makes it for me.
The Dark Room is available in 3 bodies, Jockstrap, Jock-Trunk and Low Rise Brief. Also it is available in three colors, Blue, Green and Red. The Jockstrap retails for $24, Low Rise Brief $28 and the Jock-trunk is $30 at the Cellblock 13 site! Go wear some mesh and have some fun!

Three years on from the Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh and the ugly side of fashion hasraised its head again. This time in the form of Beyonce’s new Ivy Park label and accusations of 63 cents an hour sweat shop factory workers.
Labels are happy to spend vast sums of money on celebrity endorsements and social media selfies, but are far less keen to say how and where the clothing is made. Behind the scenes cost savings and aggressive margin targets are regularly applied. This is like building a skyscraper and skimping on the foundations to afford a nicer façade. Unfortunately customers are kept in the dark until the next scandal unfolds.
British label Drake & Hutch believes change is long overdue and plans to save the world one pair of pants at a time!
They have broken away from the traditional closed door retail model and instead offer full transparency in production. A simple idea, from cotton grower to garment maker, every stage of production is advised for each luxury pair of pants they make.
Founder Pete McGuinness spent two years traveling the world looking for suppliers who shared his passion for high quality comfort and it became clear those with the happiest staff, who are treated well and paid fair wages, produced the best quality clothing.
He explains: “once I spent three hours talking with the floor manager of our Italian partner mill and soon realised he was as passionate about the fabrics he was weaving as he was about his beloved AC Milan. It’s enthusiasm like this at every stage of production that gives us pride in telling the story behind how and where we make.”
This is a small step in the right direction and one we hope will become the norm as opposed to the exception. Being open and honest about how and where clothing is made gives power back to the customer and this is where the drive for change must come from. We believe putting on the right pants in the morning is as good a place to start as any!

aussieBum has released a new range called Body Denim. Which are “engineered undies.’ aussieBum says “BodyDenim” is the newest in print innovation by aussieBum. The denim inspired print is featured on the entire garment with both the body and waistband being custom engineered. The first of its kind in bringing outerwear fashion closer to your body, this product is now available in brief, hipster and long-leg hipster styles, in three striking colours.”
The first thing I think is amazing is the waistband. It looks like the entire pair is printed as one print. From what I can tell on the aussieBum site, the waistband is printed separate from the rest. The button and belt looks are super cool to me. Its amazing how they have it look like it’s one material and print.
One other thing they did that I love is the pocket. There is a rear pocket on each pair. This includes the brief. Also, when you look around back there is an aussieBum label, just like the leather label on jeans. Its a detail that a brand like aussieBum doesn’t over look. The last detail that I like is the distress each print has with the denim. It looks like it’s a well worn pair of jeans.
There are three different colors of denim in this range. It’s regular denim, faded denim and black denim. My personal favorite is the faded denim. It’s just sexier to me than the other pairs, but that’s just my opinion. It comes in three different styles as well. They are brief, hipster and L-leg. The first two are staples of many aB lines. The L-leg is the newer boxer brief they have released. The pairs retail for $27.50 for brief, $30.99 for hipster and $34.50 for the L-leg.
Each of these fun pairs is available at the aussieBum site. See the pictures below!
I saw this picture from Go Softwear and loved it. It reminds me of an underwear shoot. It’s not all stand around and look great. Sometimes it can be a lot of sitting around. Make sure you check out the new collection.
Hello Kinksters,
I hope you have transitioned into June with happiness and yummy bulges. I had a wonderful birthday on Friday. I received a bunch of yummy goodies over the weekend that you’ll be reading about in the future. Still no response from Aarin Asker…if you have a lead, let me know. Thinking over this holiday weekend, it was full of American spirit. I even slightly-accidentally wore my new navy blue shorts with white stars on them with my red striped t-shirt (I don’t do themed holiday wear…ever). I was thinking of what to write for this week, and I was thinking what kind of fetish could be considered American.
It came to me, the idea of the classic American football stud. It’s a slightly different idea than the wrestling singlets, or even just the speedos. It’s over-saturated with cultural appreciation, and that doesn’t stop at the sexy-time bedroom. There are a lot of menswear out there that is designed to help you achieve that sports player look for your lover’s (or your) fantasy. Let’s not go into the fact that it’s unlikely a football player would bring his uniform to the bedroom for sexy time. (if any pro football players read this and you HAVE done this, email me you kinky stud, I wanna interview you). While I don’t personally have a thing for the football look (i’m more a Tom Daley fan than a Tom Brady fan). I will hereby share some of my fav football inspired looks if you wanna do some role-play with your favorite tight end (come on, I had to throw at least ONE of these horrible puns in).
This first one is from Jack Adams. It is the Footballer Lace-up Jockstrap. I would say this is most traditional of the three I’m showing you (I don’t actually know anything about true football wear, so this is purely my judgement). It has 6 grommets so you get three of the very iconic crotch lace crosses (say that 5 times fast).
This next one is the Show-It Football Brief from Andrew Christian. It doesn’t exactly read as true football wear. But it might be good if some gay nightclub was having a sports night or something. Having said that, I think this one would be more comfortable if you wanted to wear it to the gym or something underneath some shorts.
This last one is my favorite (maybe also cause of the model Derek Parker). It is the Renegade Defender Pant Jock from Cellblock 13. This one serves you the biggest amount of football jock realness. You get the lace up pouch, the striped waistband, and the leg pad trump l’oeil. I think that’s the trifecta of football jock sexy time roleplay.
Anyway, my sexy people, I can officially say I spent a small part of my life thinking about football now. Hope you have all the wonderful times, Pride month is upon us, so I’m sure there will be yummy bulges every which way you turn.
Until next time folks, keep it kinky.
TtheAmazing over and out (and proud).
Tyler Forsyth for CellBlock13. Tyler is from Atlanta, Georgia and caught Timoteo’s eye at the International Mister Leather event last weekend. They worked together on a quick test shoot. This super sexy guy filled out the CB13 undies and harness in all the right places. He has a great following on insta and we can tell why. He has a great southern boy charm, handsome face, and makes everything look amazing. This is one of his first shoots for Cellblock 13, we are all looking forward to seeing more of him 🙂 Let me know what you think.

Pouch Couch, pouch couch, let’s all talk on the Pouch Couch! Hey readers, remember you can always do more than read UNB, post, comment, share and like us all over. Personally (shameless self-promotion) I can be found on Twitter @underloverwear. Be a part of it all!
Now today we have the amazing reviewer and writer Undies Rock with me on the Pouch Couch. Let’s strip down to it.
BEAU: Describe to me your perfect pouch?
Undies Rock: Definitely a seam free pouch, with a good solid cup that stays in place all day and doesn’t stretch out on the sides.
BEAU: What stands out for good or bad to you with pouches?
Undies Rock: It usually depends on my mood/activity, but my biggest pet peeve (always) is center seams. I don’t know why but they don’t appeal to me visually, and I find them uncomfortable.
BEAU: Walk me through the balance as it applies to the power of aesthetics for you.
Undies Rock: Always & forever! Although comfort is king, underwear is supposed to look cool ;-). I think ultimately I want to feel confident and comfortable with what I’m wearing, and I’d have to dig the pair to do so.
BEAU: Let’s get some examples out for the Couch, what’re some great pairs or examples in your mind?
Undies Rock: Oooo good question:
-for a loose anatomical pouch I am fan N2Ns air collection (in fact all of their pouches!)
-for a more solid pouch for sports I have been really into JM pouches
BEAU: Do you have brand loyalties when it comes to Pouches?
Undies Rock: Currently: N2N, JM, Armani, CK
BEAU: Do you want structure or flexibility?
Undies Rock: I think it depends on the activity, by typically I like a good balance. I don’t want the pouch to be too flexible to where I don’t feel any support, but I also don’t want to be too constrained.
BEAU: Any Pouch evolution for you over time?
Undies Rock: Ohhh definitely. For example, when I first viewed N2Ns cuts, they looked too think and loose, but the picture was crystal clear after I tried a couple cuts as to why they are so awesome. I guess I try to keep an open mind even as much as I can if the styles aren’t up my alley.
BEAU: When functionality isn’t an issue what tops the list:
Undies Rock: For the most part a majority of the underwater I own is functional, but I do have few pairs that are more for show. But I don’t think the pouch is the issue as much as the style and material are.
Beau: Thanks Undies Rock for stripping down your pouch likes and dislikes on the Pouch Couch! My next guest to plant his cheeks on the Pouch Couch will be Salvatore, stick around!
Candyman has taken their unique styling and put its spin on Swimwear. The new collection has just been released! We will have more on it soon!
When traveling, picking out the right clothes to bring can be difficult. Underwear is no exception. By the time you all read this, I will most likely be on vacation. Driving down the winding fiver roads that follow the mighty Mississippi river. I thought it would be interesting and useful to take the time to discuss what I look for in a good travel pair, and why.
Since I’ve got to find someway to fit 10 days worth of clothes into a tiny suitcase, let’s talk about size. If, like me, you are cramped for space. Or want more space in your luggage to bring stuff back. Choosing different kinds of underwear can be helpful. Skimpier styles, like jocks and thongs take up far less space than say, boxer-briefs. If you wanted to go extreme, I bet you could fit 3 times as many g-strings in a space as boxer briefs. While I won’t be going this route, I will be leaving my bigger pairs behind.
Sometimes though, skimpy pairs can be a hindrance. For instance, the climate of where you are traveling to can have a major impact on what kind of underwear you’d take with you on your trip. I know I wouldn’t want to wear a g-string in alaska, nor would I wish to be in a pair of long legged boxer briefs in abu dabi.
There is more to picking the perfect travel pair than just the style. How comfortable the pair is can be very important.
Comfort really matters if you are on a plane flight or a long car ride. Wearing annoying underwear can make getting there even more of a drag. It can take away from being at your destination. So be sure to pack your most comfortable pairs so nothing will distract or detract from your trip. For me, that means even though I adore my bikinis and thongs, I leave them in home in favor of more sensible pairs.
It can also depend on who you are going with. If you are like me, not many people know about your underwear habits. So you’d rather not someone discover it. For instance, by seeing a bright green thong in your suitcase. Sometimes, like traveling with family, you may have to live up to expectations instead of brining what you really want to wear.
So what am I taking with me on my trip? Well, i’ve got no temperature restrictions, but I am going with family. Top of my list is every pair iv’e got with a functional fly. That can come in handy when nature call’s on a hike in the woods. After that, it really comes down to good reliable, comfortable pairs. I may sneak in something fun, haven’t decided yet.
A lot of this is common sense, but it does bear repeating. Though at the end of the day, like always, the pairs that you should bring on a trip should be pairs that you want to wear. Ones that you love to wear. Because that ‘s what wearing great underwear is all about, right?
It’s Jockstrap Wednesday. We had to bring you a company that just recently started to make jocks. That company is Sukrew. They make really amazing underwear. I have several pairs and it’s one of my favorites! They seem to know how to make underwear to fit a man. So hats off to the crew at Sukrew! In the last month or so they have released a jock! It kind of was under the radar. I didn’t know about it until I saw a picture on Twitter. I had to do a double take (that pic is above).
Sukrew has taken the awesome pouch design and put it in the form of a jock! If you haven’t tried the brand before. They make one of the best pouches on the market. It fits guys of all sizes and is super supportive. It feels like it was made just for you. I haven’t tried the jock yet but I know it has the same kind of pouch.
We wanted a jock that has some character for today. They have some solid colors, the black is super sexy. However, we wanted to show the tartan design. Which is plaid for us in the US. The jock also comes in the famous U style. Which is crotchless and well need we say more. Back to this pair!
The waistbands and leg straps are both made of a tartan elastic pattern. Which to me is super cool. It’s not something you usually see in elastics. Most are plain or branded, this is just a lot of fun. Each of the leg straps connect at the top of the pouch in an X fashion. This has become more into fashion, with fashion jocks. It gives it a more modern feel as opposed to the classic jock. The side of the pouch has the same tartan print and the center is red. It will stand out!
Would you wear this to the gym? I’m guessing we would have a split. Some guys would totally rock this to the gym and others would save it for more fun private times. The jock retails on the Sukrew site for £17.99. Make sure you check out the other jocks and U styles as well.
I”m starting my journey to loose weight again. I had a physical in the first time in forever. It shed light into two things. First I needed to loose weight (DUH!) and second for the first time in my life I have higher than average cholesterol. But, with what I eat it’s no wonder that both were the case.
Over the last few years I have been working from home. Making it way to easy to eat what ever was near by. All the weight I lost a few years ago all came back. And also, I didn’t care. I was at a point in my life I wasn’t happy and thought “who really cares.” I’m in the process of transitioning back to an office setting. Thus, getting out of the house on a daily basis. Keep your fingers crossed.
UNB has been one thing that I LOVE doing more than anything. It has been a bright spot in my life. I created it in another time of my life that wasn’t the best. Its been the one constant amazing thing in my life. Being a bigger guy, this can cause a problem. I can’t wear many of the brands we report on. Some don’t make XL and others end at size 36 waist. This has caused issues with me and my favorite style.
The style I love the best are bikinis. The main reason is I like tighter underwear that keeps everything in place. Especially with a great pouch that gives ample support. That being said, its not “acceptable” for bigger guys to wear skimpy underwear. Only muscle guys with 6 pack abs should wear this underwear, is what’s being reinforced. And bigger guys should stick to boxer briefs and similar styles.
To this I say NO WAY. Why can’t a bigger guy wear something super sexy and fun? Look on any social media with a bigger guy wearing a bikini. You will see plenty of negative comments about why he shouldn’t wear them. Why is this any concern of the commenters. I say bravo for putting it out there and taking the bold step. This is why, over the years guys have relented on posting personal pictures on the site. If they are outside the norm of what’s considered “in shape”. They don’t want to take the risk of being called “Fat” or worse. Commenters can rip someone apart. This has happened a few times on the site in the past. I try to shut it down as soon as I can.
What are the sizes of guys who read the site?
According to our latest survey: Smalls 19%, Medium 46%, Large 23% and XL are 11% and 1% is other sizes. So the majority of guys are who read the site are medium. We don’t leave the XL guys out. I would note that small guys have problems as well. But it’s not something I can speak of, one of our other guys will address this. We cover underwear for all guys, no pun intended
My Journey…
When I was younger, I guess you would consider me a Twink. I was tall with a 32 waist and could get away with wearing what ever I wanted. I even wore swim briefs quite often and would lay out in them and not care what people had to say. As I went through my 20’s my metabolism slowed down at 27. Before that time I could eat what ever I wanted and never gained weight. After 27 that all changed. It wasn’t something that happened over night. Over the next few years I went up to a 36 waist. Being 6’4” that’s not really that big. It’s probably closer to what I should be at in waist size.
Then through my 30’s I slowly crept up in weight. In 2012, I hight the hight of 302 pounds. The over the 300 mark was the catalyst to me loosing weight. Over the next year. I watched what I ate and cut out french fries, soda and other high fat foods. It worked well and I lost over 75 pounds and got down to 225. My waist went from a 42 to a 36ish (you know sizing). I felt much better and could fit in all the amazing underwear we report on. Before i lost weight there were several brands I never was able to wear. I was reporting but unable to wear what was out there.
After this time I lost a job and focused mainly on my business. It was rough and had it’s ups and downs. Those who own your own small business know what I”m talking about. It’s working 7 days a week, no sick or vacation days. And I was just getting by economically. This caused massive stress and working from home I would eat when the stress hit. I have never been a stress eater until recently. This caused me to gain all the weight I lost back.
Underwear During this time
Before I lost the weight I still wore what I liked. I never let anyone dictate what I could or should wear. It was hard to find great pairs to fit. Brands that I loved and wore were Cocksox, N2N Bodywear, Big Boy Pants and a few more. After I lost the weight I branched out and tried a lot more brands. It was so exhilarating to be able to embrace my love. It made me happy.
When I started to gain the weight back I had to break out the XLs again. Which I wasn’t happy about but I had a lot of favorite pairs that were XL and were too big for me. So I would have plenty of great pairs to wear. I guess that’s the best thing about running a blog, you have plenty of amazing undies.
The last year I still wore my bikinis and pouch briefs. I didn’t listen to what society had to say. I am single and on dating sites. I have shared some pics. For the most part I get great response from what I post. I should preface this by saying these are guys who love bigger guys. But on the flip side I haven’t had anyone speak out and say negative things. Well directly to me. They may think it but haven’t said it to me.
Do Some of Our Readers feel the same?
I have talked to a few of our readers on a regular basis. Some are bigger guys and have voiced similar opinions. They wear what they want but keep it hidden to only their significant other or sit themselves. It’s not like they are running out and showing everyone their undies.
Many have mentioned they don’t want to wear thongs or bikinis until they loose weight. I always think, WHY? Why are you not wearing the underwear you want? It’s no one’s business what you wear. If you want to rock a mesh thong under your pants, DO IT! Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t wear it.
Men’s underwear already needs a boost in main stream culture. Even the guys in great shape sometimes get slack from mainstream America. Great undies are just for women and you should be wearing what most guys are wearing. If you don’t they question your sexuality and think only gay guys should wear something like that. Bigger guys get the weight stigma on top of that.
What Needs to be done?
First, the hardest is to get general acceptance of underwear for men. This is something that is not easy to accomplish. We are UNB are working on that and have branched out to more guys. We have gay/straight/bi, single/married/dating and large/small. All guys are welcome at UNB. I have had more conversations this last year with a variety of guys. It opens my eyes to issues all guys have, and we are more similar than you think!
Next, Brands making underwear in bigger sizes. Bigger sizes are slowly coming to the world of men’s underwear. Brands like N2N Bodywear and Junk UnderJeans are making XL and larger sizes. Then there are brands like BearSkn. They make underwear in all sizes from small to I believe 4XL. The underwear is great quality and fit. I have tried many pairs of BearSkn. It’s very well made with amazing materials. They really took a problem and created underwear for this market. BearSkn started very classic and are starting to branch out into more fashion with the Neon line. I hope we see them grow and progress in their designs. Currently they only have briefs and boxer briefs. It would be awesome for them to make a jock!
I wish other brands would take note and make some larger sizes. Its totally up to them to do sizing. There are brands that just go up to 36 inch waist. Which cuts off a big section of the market. If you’re tall like me having a 38 inch waist doesn’t look big. A tall guy, like me, can be a 36 or 38 inch waist and it not seem “big.” It would be the equivalent of a guy around 5’9” being a 34 waist.
We need to encourage guys and not discourage them from wearing underwear. We are all underwear lovers. We share a unique brotherhood that crosses sexual orientation. I have had the honor to get to know many of our straight readers and staff members. We have so much in common. Our love of underwear almost always starts in our teens. We have talked about this in a few Brief Talks with Brandon and Salvatore. Both have a very distinct point of view. Speaking from the gay perspective, we need to not do what society does and label guys who love undies as gay. And really what does it matter? Let’s encourage guys to branch out and try new styles and brands.
We still have a stigma that loving underwear is a strange fetish. I don’t go out and totally broadcast I run an underwear blog. When guys find out I do a blog, they share, “OMG I love underwear too.” Like it’s a secret and something to be a shamed of having. Let’s face it in the world of fetishes/loves wearing great underwear is pretty tame. I would love it if we got to a place where we could talk underwear like anything else we wear.
Lastly, wear what makes you feel amazing. It’s up to you to make the choice to wear what you want. I have been thin and big. Each time I wear what I want too. I love the fit and feel of a great bikini. The way the pouch holds everything in place. I hate underwear that lets things flop about. Support is the main factor in underwear. If you feel amazing in a thong, wear it. To hell with what others think. Including your significant other. If they really are your significant other they should accept and not make fun of undies. If someone I date makes fun of my underwear at the beginning. I know right then this isn’t going to work.
Feeling sexy is something only you can define for yourself. It could be silk boxers to a lace thong and everything in between. Great underwear has a side effect. It makes you feel more confident. We have heard anecdotal stories about guys wearing amazing undies while working. Most revolve around giving presentations and similar things. We firmly agree this happens!
Back to my journey. The reason I am loosing weight is for myself. I’m not doing it to make someone else happy. I got to where I was because I was very unhappy. To make a step in the right direction I feel this needs to be part of that journey. I will not work to get to a 32 waist and will be quite happy with a 36. I think much smaller than that it looks too thin on me. I will still be rocking my bikinis no matter what size I am. I don’t care what people think. If you don’t think I should wear bikinis, I am not going to listen.
Body image is one thing we need to talk more about in the world of men’s underwear. I hope this will open up a conversation about the topic. This is a very personal post for me. It’s kind of therapeutic for me. I haven’t talked much about this to anyone. I hope you will comment, share on social media and/or email questions/comments.

MALE POWER’S VERY ATTRACTIVE ‘RETRO-ACTIVE’
Summer just became a lot brighter with the launch of Male Power’s hot new underwear line, Retro-Active. This fun collection of mini-shorts, micro bong thongs and moonshine jocks is available in two ultra-vivid colors, purple and orange, and is space dyed to create a dazzling multi-toned effect throughout the fabric.
Made from a sleek and supple, body hugging microfiber, these garments are designed for a perfectly sculpted fit. They are further enhanced with a plush waistband imprinted with a dual color Male Power logo.
Cool, comfortable, and playfully provocative, Retro-Active is classic Male Power. Order now for a June 30th delivery date, and spice up your sales rack.
Addicted has a new campaign out. It’s called Hot Riders. The campaign centers around a bike shop. We hope you enjoy the pictures.
This year’s Reader Survey was the most we have ever had respond. Now we are going to share some basic questions. We are working on the more detailed responses you guys gave and will report on it in early June. We are working as a team to go through the data and interpret it. Then we will report on it! In the mean time we have some quick and easy results for you guys. Feel free to share these on social media and to your friends! (click on any of these to show full size)
We have guys with decent collections. Most have 20-60 pairs and the next highest is is 60-120 pairs. The number that I thought would be higher is 200+ pairs.
You guys buy underwear a few times a month. I’m not sure if it was the question or just buying habits. The daily and weekly is a big lower than I would have thought. I know a few readers who buy weekly! This matches my own habits of buying.
Briefs/Bikinis really took this one by a wide margin. I knew you guys loved them but not by this amount. Thongs come in a second and Boxer Briefs round out the top three.
You guys change underwear more than once a day. This could be working out, change when you come home from the gym or other reasons. This is why you need a bigger underwear collection.
This one made me happy. 43% of you guys have worn swim briefs. And 25% wear them all the time. You guys don’t need our Swimwear Challenge! Only 15% of you guys wouldn’t wear one in public.
The Swim brief is supreme with our readers. And the second popular style is swim shorts. This matches what I figured we would get. Thongs, however, are growing in popularity.
We asked what kind of models do you guys like. Most want a mix of professional, up and coming and real guys. Second is Real guys. This is something we are working towards. (More on this next week). Let us know what or who you want to see in underwear.
This one had a few surprises. First, the spandex wasn’t a surprise. More guys are getting into wearing it. The Lace over the leather was a shock. I wasn’t sure we would have as many guys into it. Lastly, Rubber/latex got a lot less than I was expecting. I am curious about the other? If you answered “other” let us know what it is!
These are the quick results. We will have more soon. This survey will help us create new content as well. We find out what you guys like and it allows us to brainstorm on what you guys love!
Do you enjoy reading the site? Do you love seeing new shoots? Do you want to see more up and coming models? Do you want to see a real guy shoot? If you answered yes to any of the questions then you should visit our Patreon.
Consider donating just $1 a month. It may not seem like a lot of money. Think about all the things you can do with $1. If we have enough of our regular readers donate just that, we could do a lot with $1 donations. We don’t monetize the site to the fullest advantage. You may ask why? Because I value the reader experience. Its the most important thing to me. I hate it when I see ads through out a post on other sites. I don’t want that on my site.
We have been considering a few options of paid content. If you guys donate to Patreon we won’t have to do this! It takes money to run the site, host it, do shoots and more. I would love if I could turn this “hobby” into something more substantial.
How do you donate? Visit the UNB Patreon for all the details. We definitely can use your support. If you can’t give money please share our content or tell your friends about us.
