Your Underwear Gives you Support, Give UNB Support

Support UNB

We are back again with an episode of UNB Public Broadcasting Pledge Week! We aren’t going to promise you DVD’s and Tote bags and we won’t interrupt your content. But we do need your support and help to with UNB! We have had a few of your join and Thanks a lot to you! But we can always use more support!

Whey are we doing a Crowd funding/Patreon? 

I have said it many times I hate ads in the stream of the blog. It just annoys me. Also, my big pet peeve lately is going to a site and having a video ad just spring up from no where and you can’t mute it or close it. It really ruins the reading experience. Lastly, is a site where there is one thing on a page and you have to click through over 10 pages to finally get the list. Our ads are less intrusive. Since the redesign they are all on one side and for companies you guys like and may shop from. So they should be highly relevant to you guys.

Next, is sponsored content. I am not a fan of this. I don’t knock any blog for doing it but I think its not for UNB. The only thing we charge for is a photo shoot for a brand to pay for the cost of the models/photographer. But not to put it on the site. I want you guys to know we are talking about our passion and we’re not paid to promote something we may not like.

We feel that this method of asking our readers is the best way to get additional funding. If you find value in what we do and want to see us improve and move to the next level, then think about donating. I have said it before if we had 25% of readers give just $1 we would have some money to do some great things.

Whats in Patreon for you if you donate? 

We are always trying to make our levels rewards better! Here are a few of them.

  • All levels get previews of shoots we will be releasing
  • Levels over $5 will be in our closed Slack group where you can talk to other Patreon members and the UNB staff. You can talk directly to us!
  • Level over $25 you can get a personal underwear recommendation from UNB
  • Levels over $50 you get to be on a quarterly Skype/Hangout call with the Editor-In-Chief to find out more about the site and give input/ask questions about the site.

Can I remain Anonymous? 

Of course you can! You can go by a pseudonym on the site and through Patreon. You will have to give Patreon your real name and info for payment purposes. However we just see what Pseudonym in our list. If you don’t want to be listed on the site just let us know and we can put Patreon 1, Patreon 2, and etc. We respect your privacy and will never sell or give your info to anyone by joining the Patreon.

What are you doing with the funds from Patreon? 

We aren’t going to use this to throw parties and have fun with it. Running a blog the size of UNB costs money. We have hosting costs that we need to cover every month. Also we want to invest in new technology. Such as a video camera to improve our videos. New computer for the blog to aid in video editing and produce the blog. A rainy day fund for when we have issues like in March, the server going down, we can hire someone to fix it. Right now yours truely is the IT director of the site. Granted I have learned a great deal but there are times when I’m stumped. And WordPress and IT professionals aren’t cheap. Lastly, are shoots featuring new models and brands! Some we can have more of a creative spin with and mix brands together.

How do you Donate? 

Again, Glad you asked! You can go to the UNB Official Patreon page and sign up. You can put in what ever amount you wish to donate. We have ours set up to do once a month! Its easy peasy.

Review Clever Flowery Touch Cheeky Brief

No Comments

5263 (2)CandyMan Fashion furnished the CLEVER Flowery Touch Cheeky Brief for review.

Rating: 9.1/10

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 10/10
  • Construction: 9.5/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 8

Pros: Fun, bold print, true sizing, great mesh.

Cons: No overwhelming cons.

SALVATORE Recommendation: CandyMan Fashion contacted UNB Tim a while ago and asked the team to review CLEVER’s Spring line. Because the entire team loves undies, he agreed and sent out pairs for review. I recently wrote a post about mesh underwear, how to select great pairs, and what types of mesh to wear for different occasions.

I was elated when the pair selected for me to review was the MESH Flowery Touch Cheeky Brief! The mesh was not the only reason I got excited as I tore open the mailer. There were two other reasons: 1.) This brief has an awesome pattern (super manly) and 2.) It has an anatomical pouch. This brief is truly the collision of three utopic components to the perfect pair of underwear: MESH, PATTERN (instead of plain color), and ANATOMICAL POUCH! Perfection at its finest!

Mesh is so tricky in men’s underwear. There is the super wide hole mesh that is more for fetish wear (totally not me, but check out TTHEAMAZING’s Fetish Friday Column. I’m sure he will work in mesh at some point). Then there is the pragmatic mesh that can be worn for a myriad of event types. This brief is definitely practical in the mesh category. I wore the pair on three different occassions:

  • All day in jeans: I made it through the day wearing the brief under jeans. Mesh is hard to wear under jeans because the glans penis (head or tip of the penis) has very sensitive nerve endings that often poke through the mesh and rub on the denim. Not always uncomfortable—sometimes stimulating and often times irritating. This didn’t begin to bother until around dinnertime. I equate this to great construction and careful design implementation seen in CLEVER’s delivery of quality underwear.
  • To bed: What can I say? I felt sexy sleeping in mesh and even sexier knowing that I was wearing a very awesome pattern. I had no issues whatsoever feeling constricted in the crotch throughout the night. Very very good experience.
  • At the  gym during workout: I’d say that this is the bread and butter of this brief. The fact that the mesh is cool and breezy and the anatomical pouch is very supporting allowed me to have free range of motion in a very well constructed brief.

I’m definitely a pouch snob. Read this and you’ll understand why. My underwear collection is almost exclusively ergonomical in pouch nature. I’ve never worn CLEVER before. This made me nervous about whether the pouch on this brief would actually turn out to be anatomical. The first thing I did when I slipped them on was take notice of the inner sewn elastic that separates the body of the brief from the pouch. I relaxed and realized that CLEVER had me in mind when they made this brief.

The construction on the brief is top notch. The pattern is super man-sexy. There is a center line going up the butt area to give you an added lift. An incredibly soft metallic gold waistband accentuates the design. The sizing was spot on for what was advertised. What else can a man ask for? NOTHING!

OUTSIDE OF THE BOX RECOMMENDATION: My wife actually came up with the idea that this brief could be worn as a swim brief if you got in a bind. The great pattern is not completely transparent and leaves enough to the imagination to make most people salivate. The lightweight mesh dries very quickly when wet and the overall construction is solid. We’re moving to Hawaii in the next couple of months. Who knows, maybe I’ll wear them surfing some day soon.  Follow me on Twitter @manatomicallyme to see if I get brave and post a picture!

FETISH FRIDAY: Maskulo Jock

2 Comments

Hello Kinksters,

I hope you’re all doing ok, even though Tax season is spanking me quite hard this year (I tried to do it myself via Turbotax instead of hiring a tax person like I always do…I’ll be filing an extension and hiring a tax person…being a travelling circus artist makes taxes complicated). Even if taxes have you down in the doldrums, I have a great item to discuss today to cheer you up. Today, I am going to be talking about the Jock and Codpiece combo from Maskulo.

MaskuloLogo

First I wanna talk a little about the company Maskulo. They seem to be a really awesome company. They were so enthusiastic when I wrote to them about how I was starting a weekly fetishwear column. They were happy to answer all my questions. When you think of gay fetish wear, you might not instantly think of Russia, because Russia isn’t the most outwardly gay friendly place to be. However, Maskulo stands proud, advertising that they are a “Russian human rights supportive company. A part of our profit is donated to democracy and human rights organizations in Russia.” That’s a pretty badass statement to make.

MaskuloJock1

Back to the fetishwear, I got their jock in the mail, and the feel was dreamy. The jock itself is all elastic that fits like a glove, and the front is an open frame around your package with snaps triangulating from the top corners of the pouch frame to the bottom point underneath. The codpiece is a leather-like fabric filled with foam rubber to give it body. The pouch snaps onto the jock and there you have it. When you wanna keep the jock on, but do a little more frontal action, pouch snaps off completely, and you can get to business.

MaskuloJock2

I tested this jock out for how much it can handle by wearing it to teach a ZUMBA class. Everything was great, the butt straps stayed right where I put them before class, the pouch held everything in. It was breathable, and felt like a cloud. My second test-run did involve the pouch being removed, and it was easy and comfortable (what’s worse than being in the middle of sexy time, and then all of a sudden you have to contort so oddly to unsnap/unzip something? Or your partner has to get out the ikea manual to figure it out…)

MaskuloJock3

The jock comes in just the black straps with contrast white waistband, and has pouches in Black, Navy Blue, Red, Yellow and White. Note: the snap codpieces for the Jock is a different snap system from the Singlets and the Shorts (which use a double snap system). The jock sells for roughly 35 Euros, which is around 40 US Dollars on Maskulo.com or if you’re in the U.S., Jockstrap Central is the Exclusive U.S. Retailer. Another totally classy note of how awesome their are, apparently, with every purchase, they send a little baggy of replacement snaps hardware if you ever have an overenthusiastic undresser. That’s just awesome.

I got a few other things from Maskulo (thanks Maskulo!), so you’ll hear more about their products in the future. For now, keep it kinky, and comment below!

TtheAmazing, over and out.

This is a new brief from Andrew Christian call the Palm Brief. I really love the print and colors. I’m not a big florescent color guy but something about this just pops. The thing I think I like best is the print is against a black background. If it had been a while background It wouldn’t have the same effect.

C-IN2 New Hand Me Down line

No Comments

collections-hmd-2016041201

One of the core lines of C-IN2. It is one of the most comfortable lines that C-IN2 makes. If you’re not familiar with the Hand Me Down line let me break it down for you! Do you have a great pair of underwear that you have had for years? One that is well worn and broken in and fits just right? If you said yes, that is what this line is, a pair that has fabric that feels broken in.

This may sound odd. C-IN2 has a way of creating the fabric that feels amazing. I have tried the line and love the feel. It’s not stiff or too binding. You know how some new undies may feel. You need to wash them a few times before they fit just right.

The new Hand Me Down is a stripe fabric. Stripes I feel aren’t quite a trend in the world of underwear yet. They have been around but not really taken off like prints or the color pink. Stripes definitely have a following. This line has a main color with a constrasting color. For instance the the red has a contrast of a heather/grey. My personal favorite is the green/grey! It just pops for me and I love green.

The colors in the line are: Playing Field Heather (green/grey), Letterman Heather (Gold/Purple), Albers Grey Heather (red/grey) and Victory Heather (blue/black). All of these are great combinations and will brighten up your underwear drawer.

The Hand Me Down comes in some of the classic C-IN2 styles. They are the Profile Brief, Lo No Show Profile Brief, Runner Boxer and Lo No Show Army Trunk. The only one I don’t think most will like is the Runner Boxer. Not a lot of our readers like undies cut like a boxer. However, I could see this as a pair for around the house. The pairs retail from $22 for the briefs and $26 for the Boxer/Trunk.

Find the Hand Me Down Line on the C-IN2 site. See all the colors below in each of the styles

New 2(X)IST Graphic Line

No Comments

hero

2(X)IST just has a fun time designing undies. You can tell that with their new collections. The latest is the Graphic Cotton collection. Prints have been huge in the world of men’s underwear and continue to be strong this year. I think they are here to stay actually!

The new collection maybe a bit different when you see it. Last August when I got to sit down with 2(X)ist at Magic. They showed me this collection. Right away I loved the bold prints they produced for the collection. I wanted them right then! However, but what happens when you are not a big print fan? Are you left out of the line?

Nope! The collection has the prints you see above and ones where it’s a solid and the print is on the waistband. I thought this was genius. Some times you feel like a print and sometimes you don’t, or something like that. This allows the line to reach a broader audience. Believe it or not we have some readers who are not fans of prints. They like more classic colors and cuts. To them putting on something above is a big NO! However, if its the waistband some will definitely go for that!

The collection is available in two cuts. Those cuts are the No-Show brief and trunk. Again both classic cuts for 2(X)ist. And I would dare to say two of their best! Both pairs are made out of a 95% Cotton / 5% Spandex blend. This will give you the breathability of cotton and some stretch from the spandex. The brief retails for $24 and Trunk is $28.

What are the colors: Saffron Zigzag, Safron, Flame Scarlett Zigzag, Dress Blue, Black Fractal Chevron, Bittersweet, Dazzling Fractal Chevron and Dazzling Blue (pictures are in this order below). Each print correlates with a solid color. This is pretty genius by 2(X)ist. See the pictures of both styles below.

Find this at the 2(X)IST site or your favorite retailer!

Sprint in new Sukrew

No Comments

CfZLG-GWwAISlN0When I think of Sukrew, I picture amazing pouch and some great smaller styles. So imagine when I was looking through their Twitter and noticed a longer boxer brief. It made me do a double take. The pictures made them look super sexy. They do a few things I love in a boxer brief. It’s a longer cut and has the Sukrew pouch!

You maybe going “you are not a boxer brief fan.” This is true but the above mentioned things make me really like a pair of Boxer Briefs. I really enjoyed the Sukrew brief pouch. Its one of the best ones on the market. Definitely in my top 10. These look to have that same pouch!

The Boxer Briefs are part of the Sprint style. It comes with the pouch and the U style. The U Style is the pair without a pouch and gives you the feeling of hanging free. This has been in all their designs since the start. I have tried the U style but prefer the full pouch. However, there are many of you out there who love the mix of full undies but letting it all hang out. I would be lying if I didn’t say the Sprint U style has me interested. Something about having that much coverage but being that free.

Sukrew does an awesome job with fabric. The Main Fabric: 95% Polyamide 5% Elastane and Small Panels: 85% Polyamide 15% Elastane for the Jake. The briefs I have feel amazing when I wear them! I would expect nothing less with these
There are three different colors of the the Sprint. It’s available in both styles.

White – Joey – White body with Sukrew blue print fabric

Red/Black – Jake – Red body with black mesh sides and pouch

Sapphire – Topaz – Blue body with a slightly see through Sukrew white print

They all retail for £29.99 at the Sukrew site.

Swimwear Sunday – Go With Prints from JOR

No Comments

0281_Printed_2

I was going to profile a nice calm pair of swim briefs. Ones that are more low key and relaxed. I was thinking a simple black brief, which is classic! However, as my week went on I wanted something with a little more pop in them. So it got me thinking who has some great new swimwear? Then I remembered that JOR just released a brand new line!

There are so many great pairs from JOR. It will grace Swimwear Sunday more than once. The pair I chose this week is the Ibiza Swim Briefs. The Ibiza is a print with a blue background. The image features the great island of Ibiza! Match that with the blue sky and it’s a conversation starter for sure! Made out of Polyester 13% Spandex blend with a hidden draw cord waist.

Swimwear should be a bit different than our underwear. You have to admit it’s flattering when someone comes up and asks about your swimwear. “Who made that suit?” “Where did you get that amazing swim suit?” We are sure if you wear this pair you will be asked those questions. That is because prints are big in swimwear. They have been carried over from underwear I believe. Guys just want to express themselves in different way.

One more thing about the pair. We have to turn you around. The back has the print and says “Welcome Summer.” I love this touch! It just adds to the conversation factor! JOR is all about fun!

How is sizing? The sizing chart states that a Small is 28-30, Medium 30-32, Large 32-34 and XL 34-36. Its not a traditional underwear size but it’s comparable to most undies. I wished it came in more sizes on the larger end.

If you are interested in this pair you can find it at your favorite store or online at Candyman Fashion for $45.48

Bum Chums New Bermuda Cup

No Comments

Bermuda Cup 016Spring is here. Ok it’s nearly here and first off the mark with another new release for this year is that quirky little British Brand Bum-Chums again. This time they’re releasing another new design but in a completely new cut for them. Calling it the Bermuda Cup, this long leg trunk piece is a lot of pants for the pennies. Bum-Chums is launching this new design in a re-vamp of some past favourites as a limited run ahead of new styles coming in for the Spring/Summer 2016 collections.

We caught up with Craig from Bum-Chums who said “we were asked if we’d ever bring back some of the more popular old prints we had and that’s just what we’ve done. As well as adding some stock to the specials, we’ve decided to merge the old with the new. Giving a new style entirely at the same time as spring cleaning the fabric store to make room for the new fabrics!”

Craig added, “We really try to listen hard to our customers and hear what they have to say and learn what they want from our brand too. There are still new designs to make such as a more structured bum-boxer, it’s still on our list, but we did hear you!”

The Bermuda Cup design seems to do what it says on the tin, with a trunk style design the length of the 90’s Bermuda Shorts, combined with a cupped and sculpted front pouch, lifting the manly assets then sculpting the rear with their signature bum-chums curved back seam. From memory, Bum-Chums held a vote on their social media channels asking their followers for input for this design before it was made… Not often would you see a brand brave enough to actually do this and hats off to them for having the balls to get their customers involved.

The long legs are finished a hand-span above the knee and edged with a 1cm finished binding and a 1cm on the top binding surrounding the cup, for that extra lift. The pouch itself has a decorative cover stitching down the front, single panel thickness to allow extra stretch and sexiness and is sculpted to be filled in all the right places.

We wonder if this new design will give rise to more cupped designs, maybe in a much shorter, more-skimpy cut just for contrast… Watch this space… Or better still, as they’re listening, why not get involved and make it your brand too.

The three new styles in the Bermuda Cup Collection are set to be the “Snake Bite”, the “Tropic” and the “Barcode”.

Styles are online and available for you go get your hands on now and because of their limited availability will be available only at www.bum-chums.com prices are set at an introductory special price of £19.99 and as they’re limited editions, they will never again be repeated.

New Earth Line by Modus Vivendi

No Comments

15.MV - Earth Line - Conseptual With LogoThe second new line of Modus Vivendi Spring-Summer 2016 collection has just been released. The line is called Earth Line and comprises underwear and t-shirts in two earthy colours: grey and brown. The underwear of this line comes in three distinctive cuts: briefs, boxers and jockstraps. The two colours are natural dyes and are combined perfectly with metallic silver or gold elasticated waistbands and lighter colour design accents.

The new line’s inspiration is expressed through the brand’s new campaign. The concept is spring’s symbolism of renewal and rebirth. The brand’s optimistic attitude goes one step further with the inclusion of their best selling, and restocked, shiny Metallic underwear in this shoot. Model Alexios Charistos was not afraid to get dirty for the needs of this campaign photographed by P2Photography! The photos, we think, are amazing!

Cellblock 13 Bullet Jockstrap Launches at Jockstrap Central

No Comments

cellblock-13-bullet-jockstrapsBite the bullet and get yourself in Cellblock 13’s latest fetish jockstrap with credentials: The Cellblock 13 Bullet Jockstrap has the look and attitude of leather but it’s actually a high-quality coated polyester/spandex fabric that’s durable yet soft and pliable – exactly what you want cradling your boys. But best feature is, unlike leather, this jock is machine washable.

The front is like a streamlined brief with a contouring so you fit in it just right with a contrasting one and one quarter inch vertical sports stripe down the center. Where things get really interesting: the whole front is the leather-look pouch (i.e no elastic waistband). The sturdy Cellblock 13 elastic waistband attaches to each side and runs around to the back ensuring this jock fits like a glove and it looks freakn’ awesome. The full two inch wide waistband consists of three alternating stripes with the iconic Cellblock 13 written dead center across the back and just above the crack of your ass. Finally two black one inch comfort leg straps finish it all off.

Bullet is unique and definitely masculine and comes in your favorite fetish color combinations like black with white, black with red and black with blue, but our very favorite is the military version with it’s army-green pouch and gunpowder-black stripe. Jockstrap Central model Caleb King will show you what Bullet is all about just head over to the JC website for your lesson.”

Fetish Friday – Army of Men Pt. 1

No Comments

Hello kinksters,

             Today is a Part 1 of a two-part post. I hope your week has been going well, mine has been quite dandy. More things have arrived, and you will hear about them soon. This week, I am painfully excited to share this post. I’ll save you the tl;dr anxiety, and just tell you off the bat: Today’s post is part 1 of 2, reviewing leather gear by “Army of Men” from Australia. Specifically, the Bulldog Harness in Blue, and the Bulldog Cockstrap. We’ll get back to that in a second, but I want to give some context for the elation (if you just want the damn review, skip the next paragraph).

In the past year or so, I have been undergoing a sexual identity reconstruction. For most of my sexually active life. I was under the very wrong impression that anything beyond the world of vanilla was “other” and “weird”. Thankfully, I have encountered some incredible people who have helped me reexamine the boundaries of my sexuality and discover more about myself than I could have on my own. To a very special trio (whom I will humorously discreetly name the “Vermont Glitch-mob”), I want to give them my love and thanks. One of the things I wholeheartedly accept into my life now is my total kinked out feelings about leather. I am a professional seamster, and sew leather pretty regularly, because I make special boots for trapeze artists. I love the feel of leather, I love its texture, and shine. Now, I can also totally say, a stud in leather (including myself) gets me going. When I knew I was going to be re-structuring Fetish Friday into a weekly column, I started connecting with companies all over the world, and the owner of Army of Men responded very enthusiastically, and here we are.

ARMY of MEN Banner

Derrick, owner of Army of Men, responded to me when I began researching companies and products to discuss on my Fetish Fridays. He was super generous with info about his company, and products, and helped me with my selection. After bouncing back and forth with him, we selected the Bulldog Harness in Blue, the Bulldog Cockstrap, and the Leather Jock Base in Blue, with a Chevron Codpiece (you guessed it, in Blue). Everything is made to order, because Derrick makes each piece to fit your measurements. Today, I’m going to discuss the Harness and Cockstrap.

I have a X shaped harness in Neoprene, but this was going to be my first real leather harness, and I was really excited to get the Bulldog harness. As a pretty chesty guy (read: professional aerialist), the Bulldog harness draws focus to my broad shoulders, and chest. Derrick himself makes everything, and builds harnesses with a three snap amount of “ease” so you can snap the straps one step tighter or looser than your “baseline” (with the snaps being about an inch apart). When I opened my package from him, the first thing you notice right away, is the quality of leather being used. As I said, I work with leather all the time, and he is clearly choosing very top grade hides. This harness has a triple layer of leather: a doubled outer layer, with a single black leather layer lining the inside against your skin. His rings are quality metal and welded shut. Snaps are strong and sturdy (and custom colored to match the different leather colors and thread he uses).

                Putting the harness on, this harness is magnificent, Blue straps over the shoulders and around the sides of the torso, with a black straps including centered D rings across the front and back. This D ring is for the second item I got which is the Bulldog Cockstrap. This strap snaps onto the D ring in the front of the harness, and reaches down to a ring which goes around your…read the product name again. It comes with two firm rubber rings, but the strap snaps around the D ring up top, and the ring down below, so you can switch it out to a ring of your choice. The Cockstrap also has an adjustable belt buckle to make it shorter or longer. The leather lining makes everything hug your body so sure and warm.

Being a professional seamster who was “raised” by a group of incredible impeccable seamstresses (thank you Jamie and the Temple University Costume Shop), I can tell you that Derrick puts a lot of love and dedication to his leather work. They are pristine, and bold, and strong. His design eye is also innovative, and not just sticking to the basics.

                 This is just part 1 of the two parter for all the stuff I got. Thanks for tuning in. I think next week, we’ll tackle some of what I received THIS week in the mail, and then we’ll do the 2nd part of Army of Men the week after. If you have a sec, I’d love it if you’d all comment below your own journey with leather, or if you haven’t and want to, let me know. It’d be great to hear from y’all.

Until next time, keep it kinky! TtheAmazing over and out.
