CandyMan Fashion furnished the PetitQ Two-Tone Green Floral Lace Bikini for review.
Rating: 7.6/10
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
The new collection from ES collection is the Real. It celebrates 10 years of ES collection! It’s an interesting collection! Make sure you go check it out at the ES Collection site.
Hello folks, today I’m reviewing a new pair by one of my favorite companies, Clever. It was furnished by Candyman Fashion. One of their new designs coming out is the Original Sin Boxer (2255). I received the “Black” pair that has Teal as the Accent Front color with Black as the background. The other option available for the Original Sin is the “Red” pair with a Gunmetal as the Accent Front Color.
The main body of the boxer is a 94% cotton/6% elastane. Though the main body of the fabric is a cotton blend, which is usually not my favorite, this blend is nice and smooth. The front of the boxer is a synthetic mesh that isn’t see through. But definitely shows off details very nicely. The front pouch is contoured out and gives nice room for your kit. The background fabric meets the front at the side seams. Then travels almost to the front on the inner thigh. The thread color matches the front fabric, so on all front seams, it blends in. While the back seam goes down the middle of your butt and Y’s out down the legs as a contrast.
The two main things I really love about this boxer are the mesh fabric in front. The subtle design choice that really makes this boxer pop. The mesh in front is a really nice tiny hole mesh fabric. That is lightweight and definitely breathable (great for working out in). The design choice I love is that the contract back fabric wraps around towards the front by the pouch. This makes your pouch “hang” in front of a contrast backdrop. Which really amplifies the visual from the front (which is wear a lot of pouches read as flatter).
On a less happy note, the leg bands of this boxer don’t have a lot of structure to them. So it’s really easy for them to ride up your leg (which is the main reason I end wearing mostly briefs). But it’s not bad enough that I was constantly pulling it down, it was just something I noticed.
I really do like this boxer, and will add it to my drawer of boxers I actually will wear regularly.
PROS:
-Sexy pouch visual.
-Breathable mesh fabric.
-Attractive butt seams.
CONS:
-Legs ride up.
RATINGS:
This pair was furnished for review by Clever. It comes in Black/Teal, and Red/Gunmetal. It goes for $23 on the Candyman Fashion
Gregg Homme new line has just been released! If you love super sexy and revealing undies, this collection is just for you. We will have more about the new line this week! Stay tuned!

Ratings:
Pros: Material, Styling, Pouch, Cut
Cons: none
Let me start off by saying I love Clever Underwear. Before I had switched to wearing thongs almost my entire underwear collection of briefs/trunks/underwear was Clever. I love the fabric, styling, fit, everything this company does; so when I had switched to thongs I naturally had bought several pairs a couple years back. At that time I was greatly disappointed in the cut and style; but that was then. NOW I would have to say their thong line up is on par with the rest of their underwear line up, which is awesome.
This pair, I loved the material, the pouching was comfortable and breathable. The band like all of their bands is very high quality, a little saddened that the pair I had did not have Clever written in the front, but instead I had two partial sections, and the thong strap they finally got right. It is the right thickness so that you don’t feel it and it is cut so emphasize your cheeks.
The Sizing for this and all the underwear I have had of theirs is spot on; my waist is in the 32-34” range, and so I get a Large for them and it fits me well. I received from Clever a Large size, and was very satisfied with it.

Hey Kinksters,
Hope you are all having a little more relief with tax rush being over. I know I said I would do the second Army of Men post for this Fetish Friday. Derrick (owner of Army of Men) are cooking up something delicious. So you’re just gonna have to wait a little longer). Today, I am going to talk about a topic that was inspired by my most recent purchase from Cheapundies.com. I received my first Cellblock 13 garment, the Ambush Short. This is not just a post about that though, this post is about a feature that is found in the Ambush; CONVENIENCE ZIPPERS!
I only own one item with a convenience zipper (but I’m totally up for owning more). I’ve been seeing them in a variety of brands over the years. Zippers in front to release the package, zipper in back to reveal the booty. A lot of brands have caught on to the zipper fun. I know Slick It Up has been doing it for years with their bodysuits. Cellblock 13 has a few different lines out.
In my opinion, it can be totally sexy. Instead of just pulling them down for the big reveal, you can keep it on but open a window for the fun to happen. Front zippers are definitely great because no one wants to have the entire waistband and pouch just pulled down under your balls. Back zippers however I think CAN be great, but aren’t always. Now, back zippers and I have interacted quite a bit. I find the biggest issue of the back zipper is whether it unzips down low enough. There is a certain feature in the butt area (do I really need to say it?) that a zipper needs to go below for the convenience zipper to be truly convenient. If you’re wondering why the zipper not going down enough below the “zone” is needed. Go take a zipper, unzip it part way. Hold the two unzipped parts together. Place two fingers in the bottom of that zipper V and start sliding your fingers in and out of the zipper… YEAH. Not too fun. Now if it hurt your fingers, let’s not even test that out with your tongue or…other body parts that stick out. If the zipper goes low enough however, and it provides enough room to reach your goals. Then I heartily condone that convenience butt zipper.
So, you tell me, do you own undies with convenience zippers? Have you played with someone who had convenience zippers. I wanna know your thoughts. Hope you have a great week all you fancy people. See you next Friday with more fetish fantasticness.
Marital Bliss—Underwear Shopping with Your Wife
On a recent weekend trip to Portland, my wife and I ventured into an alleyway downtown and found this brilliant little French restaurant. I can’t recall what we ate, but I do remember a delightful dessert that came out flaming. The French restaurant is irrelevant to this story, but does set the tone for what happened later on that evening.
As we left dinner, we grabbed hands and made our way back to the main drag. It was then that I noticed a massive green and white sign blaring the name “underU4men” in bright lights as if it were calling my name. I must have made a gawking noise because my wife asked me what was wrong. I simply pointed and insisted that we stroll down the block to check out one of the largest men’s underwear stores on the West Coast. She promptly set the limit of my spending budget, locked her arm in mine, and said, “Let’s go buy some briefs.”
As we approached the large pane glass windows, I was amazed at the enormous inventory on display. People were moving about inside as clerks rang sales at the sleekly designed registers. We entered through the doors and were greeted with a cheery West coast, “Hello!”
I will say that entering into a men’s underwear boutique can sometimes be intimidating. The clerk that greeted us was female and asked what we were looking for. We told her that we were just browsing and she made us feel write at home. The most incredible feeling of the night was that my wife was right beside me talking intelligently about designer underwear.
I asked the clerk about the Andrew Christian Almost Naked line and if they carried Obviously. She answered my questions and pointed to the Obviously wall display. She then engaged my wife in conversation about bargain shopping and showed her an entire wall with pull out bins full of $5 undies. I decided at that moment that I must have died and gone to Undie heaven—cheap designer underwear and a beautiful woman helping me pick them out. We purchased a couple of pairs and headed back to the hotel.
The romantic dinner and the underwear shopping set the tone for great conversation that helped us to connect on a very deep level. What’s the moral of this little story? Take your wife underwear shopping with you—it might just light a new fire in your marriage and create a little marital bliss.

Mickillop and Co, better known for their jockstraps, have recently come out with something new. Their first ever Mickillop thong. They’re super excited about it too! Named the Jagger thong, its image dominates the front page of the Mickillop and Co website, as it should. To quote Mickillop, “The wait was long for a Mckillop Thong but the wait is Now OVER!”
The Jagger thong is a take on the traditional, basic, thong, but with a bit more added if you like. This pair has some fun option available as you will soon see. The thong is available in a variety of colors, and two materials. The color choices range from the basic. Like black and white, up to some quite interesting shades like emerald, fuchsia, lavender, and eggplant. The two material choices also stand out. The new thong comes in the choice of either mesh or modal. The mesh looks to be a very fine type, and gives the pair a fun look. The pairs are simply styled, clean lines, with white or black waistbands. The Micollop logo front and center, in understated coloring. The back is mentioned as a “soft Y back”, and is similar to a traditional thong back. Like other Mickillop products, the Jagger thong is available in a variety of pouch sizes to accommodate various types of guys where it counts. The pouches are all, of course, anatomical. Of note is that on the website, unlike most brands, Mickillop shows the backside of the pair as the main image on the product page, not the front as is usual.
All in all, Mickllop is very excited about its new thong, and we are too!
The Jagger thong is available for $25 at http://mckillop.co . It is available in the following colors: Black, Eggplant, Emerald, Fuchsia, Lavender, Navy, Pink, Red, Royal Blue, Turquoise, and White.
Petit Q Two Tone Lace Bikini – Furnished by Candyman Fashion
Rating: 7/10
Daily Fit: 6/10
Sizing: 6/10
Construction: 9/10
Daily Performance: 7/10
Pros: Sexy as hell, great color combo, fun, different and unique.
Cons: Small sizing, rough fabric for full day wear
Beau Briefs recommendation: Have these on hand for seductive play but not for daily wear.
As is generally the case, the brand name should have given it away, Petit. The first thing that is impossible not to notice is that sizes with Petit Q tend to run small. So the fit was already going to be an issue. It is always important to know and REMEMBER that there are some brands that you need to order up a size. Oops!
So because of the sizing I wasn’t going to be able to try these out for a day long trial, like I generally do. However, let’s be honest, this is not really a pair that one would generally wear for a full day. These briefs have a purpose and it’s not comfort in the office. Its purpose is so that when you slip into them to let someone know that they should “come and get it.” they are going to come and get it!
This is a sexy pair. A seductive pair. A unique pair. And I love a good, unique pair of underwear. It means that this isn’t a pair that every brand will have a variation of, this is specifically a Petit Q pair. The light black lace is beautifully done and punctuated by the yellow flower details. The moody and yet sultry color combination is alluring and fun for the eyes. Of course, it’s also very fun to get the peak a boo view of what lies behind the lace as well. Well hello there, mister.
Given the lace and fabric the pair would not wear the best throughout the day and is not advised. That’s the trade off, sexy check, seductive check, a bit scratchy sadly check. Again, think about slipping into these before a date or when things start to get exciting back at your apartment. The construction is solid and the pouch has a really good structure. For a pair that runs a bit small there is room in the pouch for the goods. There are firm seams around the pouch that create a nice
pocket. I imagine that these same seams/piping that go around the butt would be supportive as well. Unfortunately they cut across my bum because of the size and I cannot fully know.
If you’re a fan of what Petit Q has done in the past. If you’re a fan of the linen and lace type of look. Or if you want to branch out and have a totally unique pair to play in then this could just be the pair for you.

Malebasics asked could they share some content with you guys! After hearing what they wanted to share I said yes. Some of the topics we here at UNB had been talking about as well. The first is Spring Clean Your Undies Drawer. We hope you enjoy!
If you find yourself every morning pulling worn out underwear out of your drawer filled with things you can’t even remember you own (or that aren’t yours). Perhaps it’s time for a little spring clean. We, at Malebasics, believe that every man should have a tidy drawer filled with underwear fit for every aspect of his life. That’s why we got you covered with a plan to get it done. And hey — if it looks like a mess in a month, you will know that it’s filled at least only with wearable pieces.
Plan
First and foremost, choose an time where you won’t be disturbed. Blast out some music, grab a beer and get naked you’re going to be looking at yourself in the mirror a lot).
Purge
Go through your drawer and remove any underwear that can definitely go. Remove anything that is damaged, doesn’t fit, looks worn out, doesn’t fit your lifestyle, or no longer fits your personal style. Before you move on, toss damaged and stained garments.
Try it on
By this point, everything left in your drawer should be undies that you like and that fit you. Quickly try everything on and look in the mirror. Note items that you like but may not be right for your body type – you may want to search for replacements that are suited for you. Make sure you keep playful pieces like jocks and thongs for special occasions.
Divide
As you try on your undies, make a pile for ones that look great and fit your everyday needs, a pile for performance underwear, and a pile for the more frivolous. Note whether or not you have enough underwear for your everyday needs, and record what’s missing.
Shop
Now that everything in there is neat and tidy, it’s time to treat yourself to some shopping therapy. It should be super easy because you got a track record of what you need and what’s missing… oh yeah, don’t forget to another beer!

Hey undie lovers. Undies Rock here with another review for Petit Q’s Hawaii Yellow Bikini (Furnished by Candymanfashion.com). Petit Q is known for pushing the boundaries of men’s underwear with saucier designs. This bikini is no exception. From the cheeky minimalistic cut to the vibrant tropical pattern. This pair is total sexiness.
I have been a fan of Petit Q for quite some time for their fun and exotic styles. When they released their latest collection I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this bikini. I love string bikinis, and though they aren’t my go to style, there is definitely a time and a place for them. One aspect of a string bikini that either makes it or breaks it for me is the length of the side string. I hate it when the string length is only an inch or two. For a string bikini to be considered a string bikini to me, it has to have a generous string length for the side. This bikini sets the bar as the string goes completely from the crotch all the way to the rear.
I for sure feel a little more in touch with my feminine side with this pair as it has more of a lingerie vibe than an underwear vibe. The pouch and butt are extremely low rise, with just enough material to cover you manhood and crack. The butt is incredibly cheeky, and definitely makes you feel sexy. The pouch has a narrow design, and positons my junk in the center, but it maintains a solid pouch.
The 85% nylon 15% spandex material is thin, stretchy, and comfortable. But nothing special or out of the ordinary. I wore a size large which is rated for 34-35 inch waists. I am in the 33-34 inch range, and this pair fit perfectly. I think I could size down for a tighter fit if I was in the mood, but for sure this was the optimal size.
I test drove a pair for a day and there were a few things that I wasn’t a fan of. I found myself adjusting the butt throughout the day as it would ride up and down. Which became annoying. Also, the elastic trim is not the softest. I only say this comparatively speaking to Groovin’s string bikini. Which is crazy soft and comfy. Though this bikini is fine for office work and intimate occasions. I doubt it would be the right choice for athletic activities or lounging. The overall construction is good. But I can tell that it’s not the most solid. For a $20 pair of underwear I expected something that doesn’t feel like it was made in China. Also it’s always a pet peeve of mine when the crotch has a full center seam. Since the crotch is so minimalistic. Your package fits tight, and the center seam was irritating.
Currently you can find these on Amazon for $20, which is a little pricy for what you get. But if you’re looking for a wild to pair to spice things up, look no further. Because the Petit Q Hawaii Bikini is the perfect choice.
Pros:
· Fun/sexy style
· Minimal coverage
· Thin elastic microfiber
Cons:
· Abrasive elastic trim
· Butt tends to move around
· Not appropriate for every occasion

Jockey Spurt 100% Cotton Y-front Brief GBP9.00

If you have been watching Dancing with the Stars you have seen Nyle DiMarco. Or maybe you saw him on America’s Next Top Model he won Cycle 22. He’s now a model for 2(X)IST! If you haven’t seen either, first thing to know outside of his great looks is he’s deaf. His entire family is (parents, siblings and grand parents) but this hasn’t stopped him for perusing a career in modeling or killing it on Dancing with the Stars. Actually he’s one of the best dancers on the show. How he dances without being able to hear or feel the music and stay in step is truly astonishing. It just shows how talented he is in front of the the camera and on the dance floor.
We asked 2(X)IST about having Nyle. “We are very excited to welcome Nyle to the 2(X)IST All-Star team, along with Andre, Veronika and all of the other past campaign models we’ve worked with. For this social media photo shoot, we partnered with photographer Marco Ovando to capture Nyle DiMarco while he was out and about in California. As I’m sure you know, Nyle is currently competing on Dancing with the Stars – and doing quite well, might I add! His disability has not held him back in the least and he truly exemplifies our brand with his passion to find #reasons2XIST.”
The Cheapundies.com performance tights are selling out on the site. They are an amazing deal. This is Colby Melvin in the performance tights.
aussieBum has released a new range. It’s called the CottonHill. aussieBum says this about the range. “Inspired by the sun-drenched, rolling green vistas of CottonHill, this new underwear range is durable, ultra comfortable and easy on the eye. Made with a 1×1 Ribbed cotton for superior fit and style. Understated, tonal marle and a classic branded waistband make this a product range no wardrobe is complete without!”
The new CottonHill range is very classic in it’s design. The two styles available are the brief and the hipster. Both are standard styles in the aussieBum range. The pair has a new waistband from aB. It’s a branded band with aussiebum written around the band with no spaces. It’s actually pretty cool band.
The CottonHill range is made out of 100% cotton. They have gone old school on this line. Most pairs we cover are a blend of fabrics. Usually mixing in a spandex or other fabric to increase the stretch of the pair. The colors available in both styles are Red, Blue and Greymarle. All three are classic colors in the world of underwear.
What do we think of this pair? I think every guy needs some classics in his collection. There are times you may not want to wear something more revealing. This line is definitely in the classic range of underwear. I hear many of you out there are saying that classics are boring. We beg to differ. When done right classics are super sexy. The things to look for in a classic, which this pair has, are fit, fabric and colors. The fit should be great and not loose it’s shape while wearing. Next the fabric has to be high quality. And lastly there needs to be more than just white.
So where can you find this pair? It can be found on the aussieBum site for most people, unless you’re lucky enough to live near a store who stocks aB.

Who is a fan of Camo? Camo is a trend that is big in men’s underwear. However, there are many out there who are not a big fan of the print. teamm8 has done something new with camo. They have released the Defence line! The Defence line is a new take on the world of Camo.
How is a new take? Glad you asked! Its a camo inspired print. Meaning they took the camo idea and expanded on it. The print looks like pixelated print. This makes it so you can see the inspiration but also is different from other camo prints on the market. If you didn’t want to look as is you were about to go duck hunting in your underwear, this print is for you. It’s not a literal print.
I really like how they did the print. Its also available in more than just green. The colors available are Sunny Lime, Honeysuckle (Pink, not available in the trunk) and Blue Radiance. The design adds to the line. The brief has a solid color pouch and the rest of the pair is the camo print. The trunk has a solid color pouch surrounded by white panels and the camo print is in the back. The constrasting trim and branded metallic waistband set the pair off nicely.
Both pairs in the collection are made out of a 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane blend. Meaning it will be comfortable and conform to your body. This blend will be great for wearing to work, around town and even the gym. teamm8 makes great fitting and looking underwear!
My favorite pair in the line is the Pink brief. It isn’t a pastel but a brighter pink. Mix the pink in with the print and I think it’s a total winner. That being said I think the entire line is pretty awesome. Find these pairs on the teamm8 website!
