Men’s underwear, swimwear and athletic loungewear brand Modus Vivendi is starting the presentation of its Spring Summer 2016 collection with the new Perforated Line. The line comprises underwear and tank tops in four colour variations, designed to combine two main fashion trends for this season: colour blocking and powdery pastels.
The underwear of the Perforated line come in three distinctive cuts: mini briefs, briefs and boxers. They all feature side and back panels made from a cotton based, high quality sporty mesh to allow moisture wicking and contrasting, solid, cotton based, pouch. These playful designs are perfect not only for the gym but for any other activity and every occasion. The colourways are trendy and modern combining powdery pastels with bold classics. The tank top of this line is a versatile, slim fit design with stylish, contrasting neck and arm trims which you can wear at the gym, as street wear with your favourite jeans or to match the underwear of this line.
For the first part of its extensive Spring Summer 2016 campaign, Modus Vivendi chose talented Greek photographer George Kostopoulos and new face, model Alexios Charistos. This campaign is called P4 which stands for the four new colour combinations of this line and its design elements: Playful, Perforated and Powdery Pastels.

Expiration dates seem to plague the refrigerator in my house. From milk to jams to sandwich meat, food producers are constantly telling us the “best used by” date to hamburger meats and any other assortment of produce, canned goods, frozen products, and the classic “refrigerate after opening” products that we all use. No doubt, this is to protect our bodies from harmful organism growth that takes place once our food reaches its shelf life. Although underwear doesn’t spoil per se (well, I guess if you are into some really interesting stuff like never washing, it will), I believe undies do have a wear out date.
Because I believe that great undies never go out of style, they obviously can’t spoil like our food. This leads me to lay down a solid definition of “wear-out-date.” Salvatore’s definition of wear-out-date is simple; the point in which your undies need to be thrown in the trash. If you are into super kinky fetish things—this post is not directed at you and what you like. I don’t condemn or condone fetishes, but don’t want to give off the feel that I am putting you down for what you like. My consistent statement about underwear is that YOU have to be comfortable with what YOU like. With that said, let’s get started.
Collecting vs. Hoarding
We’ve all seen the reality T.V. shows detailing how little Ms. So and So from 4th Street has been attempting to take care of dozens of cats in her two bedroom apartment only to find out that her sanitary level is below the cut line. This is an example of hoarding. We’ve also seen the shows where Mr. Antique Man finds all of the cool oil company signs and displays them in a museum like manner for the neighbors and townspeople to gawk at when they visit for the annual Christmas charity dinner. This is called collecting. The major difference in hoarding and collecting boils down to three simple categories: organization of product, recognition of junk, and highlighting every piece within the repertoire in an appropriate manner. Hoarders simply fail to draw the lines and negotiate the obstacle of getting rid of junk. Collectors have a system that allows for max use of the collection. Again, neither one is right. Neither one is wrong. I want to target those of you that are interested in being a superb collector of fine underthings for men. So here goes!
My Determination to Collect and Cull
A couple of years ago, I discovered that I can truly find the perfect fit of underwear if I am diligent in trying new things and search hard for the latest and greatest. I stumbled upon Andrew Christian’s Almost Naked Limited Edition Infinity Line. I purchased two pairs to try out. They both were striped. In fact, I’m wearing one of the briefs as I type this post. This was the first time that I encountered the anatomical pouch. If you’ve read any other of my posts, you know that I’m an anatomical pouch brief fanatic. Why—Simply because this style of pouch and cut of underwear is what I feel most comfortable in and enjoy the most. Could have easily have been thongs or boxer briefs. I just like briefs with anatomical pouches.
This newfound obsession quickly led to a dilemma of sorts. I found myself wearing the same two pairs of underwear over and over again. Because of this, I was washing them daily just so I could enjoy what I was wearing. A few weeks went by and the fabric started wearing out. The other thing I noticed is that I had hundreds of dollars in designer briefs that I no longer enjoyed slipping on. The anatomical briefs and the obsession that ensued was kind of like the first time I experienced the ice cream cones with the chocolate in the bottom. I didn’t want to go back to the plain cones or plain, non-anatomical underwear any more. Andrew Christian briefs are not exactly cheap and I certainly didn’t want to have to get rid of them after a few months of wear because of overuse. I slowly added more to the collection and then had some decisions to make: 1.) What do I do with the rest of the collection? 2.) How do I ensure that I wear everything in the collection? 3.) How do I change my laundry habits to cut down on fabric wear. The answers to these questions have helped me to lengthen the wear out date of my fabulous designer underwear collection (almost exclusively anatomical pouch briefs).
3 Steps to Collecting Well
1.) CULL the COLLECTION
The first step to being an aficionado of fine men’s underwear is to cull the collection. When I stumbled upon the anatomical pouch phenomenon, I went through a few phases of collecting. First, I put all of the non-anatomical pouch briefs into a forgotten drawer that I never used. That’s right, I stopped wearing around 75 pairs of great undies in favor my start up collection of anatomical pouch briefs. I occasionally had to dip in the “no longer wear” pile during emergency laundry situations. Once my anatomical collection got up to around 20 pairs, I started to give away or throw away the briefs that I no longer wore. This was painful, but liberating! The key to this portion of culling is to RID YOURSELF OF WHAT YOU NO LONGER WEAR!
I’d say the other cull that is necessary is to get rid of anything that is dingy, has holes in it, is soiled badly, or has fabric that is beginning to fray. There is nothing worse than dropping your pants at the gym or in the bedroom to reveal designer undies that look like they’ve been run over by a freight train that pooped on them. Many people think that there is no reason to get rid of disgusting undies. After all, no one will ever see them right? What happens if you get in a car wreck and the hot nurse has to cut your pants off? What about when my wife surprises me with a little late night or middle of the day pillow talk (very little talking involved)? You name the surprise situation and I guarantee you that you’d rather have nice serviceable undies as opposed to beat up worn out drawers to put on display. Simply TOSS THE BEAT UP UNDERPANTS!
2.) ORGANIZE THE COLLECTION
If you are like me, for years I just threw my expensive undies in a pile in the drawer. I never new what I had available for wear, where to find it, or how many clean pairs I had left. One day, playing off of my wife’s extremely organized dresser drawers and closet. I took her advice and starting organizing my underwear in a fashion that is easily viewable and accessible. I roll them and stand them waistband up. This allows me to see the brand and the color in one fell swoop. I then place the underwear into three different drawers based on three basic categories: everyday wear, workout wear (sports brief or no side panel just the waistband), and sleep/lounge wear (usually super skimpy, revealing, and low-cut).
How does this help preserve the collection and lengthen wear out date? I’m glad you asked. By organizing in a manner that is easy to access and easy to view, I tend to where a large variety of things. Because I typically go through three pairs of undies a day (workout, all day, and sleep). I need to be able to access all three types quickly without defaulting to whatever is on top of the pile (usually what you just wore and washed lands on top). This causes a less frequent wear time for each individual pair in turn lengthening the wear out date.
3.) WASH THE COLLECTION
That means exactly what it says. I wash the entire collection at one time in one load. Why? I have found that if I force myself to wear every piece in the collection before I wash. I not only wear everything in my dresser. I don’t over wear the colors, patterns, and particular brands that I like the most. The fastest way to destroy your collection is overuse. Fabrics will fray and you will have to cull a whole lot quicker.
The system that I use to do this is simple. I have a laundry bag in the corner of my closest (so my wife doesn’t see it and assume I want to wash). I wear a pair and throw it in the bag. I don’t wash the contents of the bag until I have completely depleted what’s in my dresser. You figured it out. That means that on the nights that I wash, I have ZERO pairs left to choose from to sleep in—SO I GO COMMANDO! I wash overnight. The next morning I roll (fold) the entire collection at one time. It’s my favorite day of the month. I get to see every pair of anatomical briefs that I own at one time. Every color, every pattern, and every awesome waistband is right in front of me for my own viewing pleasure.
This third and final step has been crucial to lengthening the wear out date. The fabrics remain nice and smooth. The colors stay bright. The waistbands stay crisp and sharp. Because I don’t want to buy anything expensive and wear it out in short order. I highly recommend that you systematize your wash process.
To Sum it Up
By reading this post, you, my friend, are on your way to having a collection that all men will envy. Some of you will take my advice and move from being a hoarder to being a collector. I am so in tune with what I like that I don’t even wear a pair if I try them on and they don’t fit just right. In fact, I have six pairs in a bottom drawer that I wasn’t too excited about the pouch. I will be giving them to @UNBTim because he’s a good friend to me and we share the same passion—UNDERWEAR! Collect your underwear like you are collecting vintage baseball cards. Take care of them and put them on display. Don’t keep junk. Always look for the mint condition undies that fit your pearls well. Enjoy your UNDERPANTS.

Looking for some new runners? Aronik has started branching out beyond swimwear. They now make work out wear!
It’s time for Baskit $12 Tuesday! Meaning you get awesome undies for only $12! This week the pair is the Contrast trunk. Some of you guys aren’t fan’s of briefs and this week is all for you! To get the sale go to the Baskit site before Midnight!
Are you a fan of Nasty Pig? If you are there is a new collection called MANEUVER. Its very fitting for Nasty Pig, I think. Nasty Pig is all about having fun with your underwear and gear. The Maneuver line is a really fun new print for them.
You maybe going, Camo? Haven’t we seen this before? Yeah there have been tons of camo undies on the market. However, this has the Nasty Pig spin on it. The print is a custom camo that was designed for them! Each of the prints has the Nasty Pig logo mixed in. Which I really love how they did that! The prints are in blue and green. Green the traditional and the blue is a little more fun.
Also in this pair is a new custom waistband. I love waistbands. This one has the Nasty Pig name in a stencil font. The background is black and the accent color matches the pair. Its a good sized band and really fits the military theme of the line. Well, except the bikini
The one thing I really love is the fabric. It’s made out of a 94% Modal 6% Spandex blend. Modal is one of the best fabrics you can make undies in. It keeps you cool and is super soft. If I could get all my undies made out of a material this would be it. This means this pair can be worn to the gym, work, around town or play time. Or if you’re lucky all the above! The Bikini is made out of Shell: 85% Polyamide, 15% Spandex, Lining: 100% Polyester.
There are three styles in this collection. They are the bikini, jock and brief. The bikini is a cut a swim brief!. If you are a bikini fan, it’s not a super small cut. It’s a fuller brief but has no accents on the front and a center seam pouch. The waistband in the bikini is covered and is a great addition to the pair. It’s super sexy swimwear. The next style is the Jock. Nasty Pig knows how to make a jock and they have taken their awesome design and used it to create a fun camo jock. Lastly is the Brief. It’s a similar cut to the bikini but it has but the regular waistband and trim on each side of the pouch. Its definitely a more traditional cut.
The pairs retail for:
Sizes: Small – XL

I started my underwear journey in small town America. With very little means of acquiring the latest and greatest in men’s underthings. As I have shared many times before. The only stores in my hometown that sold undies involved Wal-Mart and an old department store named MM Cohn’s. Wal-Mart carried mainly Hanes bikini briefs and Fruit of the Loom low-rise briefs. MM Cohn’s had a wonderful selection of Jockey Elance Bikini brief threesomes packaged nicely in a plastic tube. I can still envision the mannequin torsos bearing the sexy prints and ribs. I believe the three-pack was $12, and I remember saving up on numerous occasions to purchase the hottest newbies in the store.
One day, while venturing through Wal-Mart with my girlfriend (I was in high school). We stumbled upon some very strappy all silk bikini briefs. I had to have them. She bought them for me. No big deal. After all, it was the 1990s and everyone wore some form of a brief. Most guys wore bikini briefs. It was super socially acceptable at the time—don’t worry guys. I believe we are getting back there. Back to the story: This experience opened Pandora’s box of desire for my undies habits. I found myself wanting skimpier cuts and sexier fabrics. I experimented with thongs, string tangas, and even a few jock straps (back when everyone wore them to the gym, but no one wore them for everyday wear). This spiraled to rayon—SUPER SEXY LOOK AND FEEL. Eventually landed me in the new phenomenon of MESH.
Mesh to me offers several components that I want to explore. Including hole size, breath-ability, and functionality. I would like my opening statement on this subject to be simple. MESH IS A PRACTICAL OPTION THAT IS DOWNRIGHT SEXY—Afterall, you can see through it.
So what do I look for when buying mesh briefs (you can get boxer briefs and thongs too)? I’m glad you asked.
HOLE SIZE (Keep Your Mind Out of the Gutter)
The very definition of the word “mesh” is a material that has space between threads at consistent intervals to create openings for air and other substances to pass through. Naturally, the first thing I do is analyze the hole size. This analysis is done with purpose. Depending on the activity that you are engaged in, size of the space in the mesh will either limit or delimit your opportunity to succeed at the desired task.
For instance, if I’m going to be working out, I might want a tight mesh (smaller holes). In my experience, large-hole mesh often causes chafing when I run or do other workout activities for a long period of time. If I am lifting weights, I can probably go with a larger-hole mesh. If I am going to be wearing mesh for sex appeal (I’m straight and sometimes wear my undies for my wife’s viewing pleasure). I’m probably going to still choose a small-hole mesh. Large-hole mesh tends to pinch a growing anatomy (if you know what I mean—not that they’re staying on long anyway). If I am going to wear them under board shorts (don’t crucify me because I don’t wear swim briefs every time I go to the beach). I’m definitely going to go for larger-hole mesh so the water can run out and the fabric will dry faster. Large-hole is also good for sleeping and lounging on a lazy Saturday. Now that we’ve gotten the basics out of the way, let’s talk about some of the other things to look for.
BREATH-ABILITY
Several years ago, the underwear industry went through this very awkward phase of synthetic fabrics that had no porous value at all. This translated to a sexy feel, but with sweaty balls and butt crack. The end result was a putrid smell that caused men to lose all sex appeal when undressing. Thankfully, designers and fabric specialists have found softer modal materials. That eliminate this issue without having to resort solely to the moisture absorbing greatness of cotton. Although these nice modals and blends exist, if you are truly active, you will like a little extra breathability that is provided by mesh.
I understand that not everyone reading this post walks or runs 6 or 7 miles a day. Given that most climates in the world have a season of heat accompanied by humidity. I’d say the breathability offered by mesh fabric is still relevant to all. Where I live, you can lose a pound of body sweat walking from the car to the front door of your house in some of the summer months. Mesh is just a great option to have at the ready in your underwear drawer. It breaths well and allows the boys to get fresh air.
FUNCTIONALITY
Whether you are about to engage in a rapid, heart intensive workout, or your engines are getting revved up for that special loved-one, mesh underwear can be a very functional choice. I consider the mesh briefs that I have in my collection to be a viable option for everyday wear. However, I want to give two strong words of caution if you are going to branch out in to the realm of mesh underwear.
Functionality is key to anything that you are going to be wearing for a long period of time. I believe the tips that I just gave and the tips that you will discover along your undie journey can help others discover pleasure under their pants. Remember, that some things function well with some activities while they don’t with others. Functionality is important when buying any underwear, but especially with mesh.
TO SUM IT UP:
If you are like me and are constantly scouring the Internet for the sexiest and latest designs and cuts. You are already on the journey to finding great fitting and looking undies. I personally love to talk about the industry and quite honestly am enjoying the new found freedom that www.underwearnewsbriefs.com is giving me as a blogger. I definitely recommend that you take the time to try MESH. Buy a pair and go on a run or a long walk. See how they feel. Take a nice hot shower, powder your nether regions, and slip into some sexy mesh undies. Drop your towel or pants like a boss and see how your wife or girlfriend, or whatever your flavor reacts. Talk to others about your experiences. Heck, comment on this post and let us know! I guarantee you that MESH will liven up your workouts and your love life. ENJOY!
Picture features Cocksox new Mesh line
Have you ever gone swimming in your underwear? I think there are a few of us who can say we’ve done it. It’s not the most ideal situation. Swimming in underwear can be interesting, especially if it’s 100% cotton. Suppose you can have the best of swimwear and underwear? Rufskin has created the Hybrid. Rufskin says this about the collection, “between underwear and poolside leisure wear is born with this conceptual collection combining high-performance fabric and contemporary design”
The Hybrid line has three styles. The Nelson (a string bikini), Enzo (Brief) and Mahino (trunk). Each of the styles is only available in black. The fabric is 67% Rayon 28% Nylon 5% Spandex blend. “Contrasting fully enclosed elastic waistband constructed from a rubber-look poly-spandex blend with a matte finish.” Which is a great way to top off this line.
The Nelson is an “ultra sexy, euro-cut bikini brief.” It’s more of a string bikini with a one inch waistband. The back looks not quite full but more of a 3/4 cut. It will cover your backside for the most part! This is definitely a super sexy cut that will be fun to wear as a pair of underwear or swimwear. The Nelson retails for $58
The next pair is the Enzo. The Enzo is an “elegant euro-style brief.” To me its more retro and a throw back to classic cut from the 50’s or 60’s. Its not a bikini but it’s a full cut brief. It’s almost a trunk. It is for the guy who doesn’t want to go as bare as the Nelson but doesn’t quite want a trunk. The Enzo retails for $62
The last pair is the Mahino. The Mahino is a trunk cut. Meaning it’s tight and cut just below the crotch. This pair is perfect for the trunk lover in underwear or swimwear. This is the most conservative pair of the collection. If you are a little wary of wearing a brief on the beach this could be for you. The Mahino retails for $66.
This collection is one of the best hybrid collections I have seen on the market. It’s classic and fun. The black allows it to be used as both underwear and swimwear with out people really noticing. Find all three styles on the Rufskin site!
Sukrew makes some really great undies. Including the This is the back of the Cobalt FV Brief. Which has the jock back! It’s super sexy and fun!
C-IN2 has released a new collection called C-Theory. This collection isn’t as wild as previous ones like the Culture Club. I think this collection could be considered a basic collection. It’s three styles and up to three colors. There is something to be said about a great pair of underwear with a classic design but in amazing colors.
The three styles in the collection are Low Rise Profile Brief, Jockstrap and Punt Trunk. Each one of these styles has a two toned waistband with the C-IN2 name written on it. The Jockstrap waistband is more of a traditional band. Meaning it’s a lot thicker than the other two styles. It’s really a throw back to the classic jock. It’s glad to see they paid homage to the past.
The colors for this line are Olympic Gold, Pool Boy (Blue) and Red Sun. The Jock and Punt have all three colors. The brief isn’t available in the Olympic Gold. Its great to see that C-IN2 is bringing some bright colors! Underwear should be fun and bright. C-IN2 isn’t afraid to go bold!
The three pairs retail for : Brief -$24, Jock – $22, Punt Trunk -$26. Find them at the C-IN2 website.
This past week in the world of UNB was a trying one. The site went down for a majority of three days. The worst part it was beyond our control. We are still in the process to move to a better server! The move should happen very soon. (I’m crossing my fingers it happens sooner than later).
When things happen like the server, it helps if you guys join our Patreon. It allows us to do unexpected things and help hiring professionals to assist us. After the server went down and I made the decision to move to a new server. I had a crash course lesson on how to manage a web server. This is great knowledge to have and will assist me in the future. However, having to pay to move the site is an expense I wasn’t expecting.
What is Patreon? It’s a way for content creators to ask readers to support them. Putting on UNB takes a lot of people and resources so every bit helps! As I have said before, we haven’t taken any advertising outside the side ads. Ads, be it video or in the blog feed, are annoying to me. I think the reader experience is one of the most important things to UNB.
Where will your money go? As noted this week it will definitely upgrade our technology. The server we were on was a bit dated in both hardware and software. You should notice a difference when it’s finally moved. Also we are going to get new video equipment (software and hardware), and new gear to review!
If you don’t want to do a Patreon you can go to our Support Page and donate a one time donation via PayPal. We will really appreciate your support! If you have any questions email us and we will gladly answer them! We love you guys and think we have the best readers in the world.
Remember guys its in the Briefs! If you can’t donate just share our content on social media or with someone who is an underwear lover!
We profiled one pic of Garcon Model last week. This is a series shot by Marco Ovando featuring model Pedro De Andrade. We hope you enjoy the rest of the pics!
Cocksox has some great things planned this year! When I was in Vegas I got a chance to catch up and see some of the new stuff. First they told me that they are going to have seasonal colors that will be limited editions. They have released the first of new colors! They are Vivid, Coral Blue, Lush Green, Nightfall, Emperor Red and Fervent Blue.
Outside of new colors there are two new styles. The first new style is a variation of the classic CX01. Its the CX01CB, which is the bikini cut with a contrasting color bind. The contrast gives the line a really cool look. To put it simply its the CXO1 with an accenting trim on the legs and waistband. I really like the color combinations they came up with. The style is available in 4 different colors!
The CXo1 is one of my all time favorites. I think they did this pair justice with the new spin on the classic. If you love the CX01 pouch but wanted something with a little more flash and flair, now you have it! The CX01CB is also made out of the supplex fabric blend of the original. I can’t wait to add these to my collection!
The colors are: Coral Blue, Carbon Black, Vivid and Nightfall. The pair retails for $25
The next pair is for the thong lover! They have taken one of their new classic styles and turned it into a thong! You may be familiar with the Sports Brief CX76N. Cocksox has taken the waistband of the sports brief and made the new CX05SP Sports Thong. I am not the biggest thong fan but I love the look of this. It definitely could be used for sports/working out.
What does this thong have going for it? First it has the Cocksox pouch. Like all pairs in the collection it gives amazing support and will show off what you have! Next the waistband is supper soft with Cocksox branding in the elastic. Lastly, The back is a little fuller than other thongs to give you extra support in the front when needed.
The colors for the pair are: Nightfall, Lush Green and Fervent Blue. The pair retails for $25.00
Find both pairs on the Cocksox website along with the new colors in the other pairs.
Growing up in a pretty conservative home made it difficult for me to go after my underwear desires. I remember doing my own laundry so my mom wouldn’t find out. Hiding in the corner of the locker room to change after gym class. Even sometimes wearing boxers over my bikini briefs so not to give away my passions. Looking back on that, I feel totally silly. A quick analysis of the situation reveals that I let other people’s ideas of normal affect my choices of comfort. This limited my ability to feel sexy and forced my underwear habits into the closet.
The very first encounter I had with anything other than plain old briefs (granted, I did have a splash of color and even stripes in my Fruit of the Looms) happened when I was twelve years old. A person that I looked up to and admired was a huge underwear fanatic. His name was Dan. Dan was straight, athletic, had a gorgeous fiancé and wore the skimpiest, sexiest, strappiest, and slinkiest underwear on the market. It was the early 1990s and underwear seemed to be anything but normal for men. After all, this was the era where professional athletes openly wore bikini briefs that were sometimes see through, too tight for the boys to enjoy, and downright edgy.
People who exhibit influence over others are leaders in the truest definition. I don’t think we realize how much power of persuasion these individuals have on everyday choices—including underwear selection. Dan opened my world to the opportunity to be an undie fan. And the plethora of choices that plaque my shopping experience today. I’m appreciative to this gentleman and have had a couple of conversations about underwear with him later on in adulthood. He still wears sexy briefs!
Seeing that Dan, one of the coolest guys I knew at the time. I paid a whole lot of attention to his first layer of clothing. I decided that I was going to toss the tightie whities to the curb and opt for the best choice in my rural community—Hanes bikini briefs from Wal-Mart. This was 3 years later when I was around 15. I rounded up a very close friend who could drive to take me to the store. I’d saved the $7 necessary to buy a three pack and had previously laid my eyes on a combo that included a hot pink, black, and blue in a fairly high cut brief. My friend was there for the transaction and immediately started in on how stupid it was that I was buying underwear. He just didn’t get it. No matter how much I looked up to Dan and his choice of undies, voices of dissension played a huge role in my decision to hide my underwear fascination. This led me to perceive that something was wrong with me.
Perception is reality. We live in a society that places high regard on what others think. We teach our children in school to worry worry worry about groups of other children and how to fit in. This plays well into the hands of underwear fanatics both gay and straight. I’ve wondered many times what people would think if I were to have an emergency and the paramedic had to cut my pants off only to reveal my bikini briefs. We’d rather wear no underwear at all than to be caught in something that might not fit a proper perception. For far too long I’ve let others opinions and ideas about men’s underwear keep me from feeling my best and being comfortable in my favorite undies. I’d like to re-phrase the question. Who SHOULD be the biggest influence on your underwear? Unequivocally, YOU! Be who you are. Enjoy your own style. Pull on that thong with confidence. Strut your bikini briefs in the gym locker room. Simply be YOU!
I want to thank Dan for being the biggest influence on my underwear in the past.
However, the truth is that my underwear is my business and my ability to feel great is my choice. I am the biggest influence on my underwear and letting other’s opinions sway that is totally shallow. I’m thankful for my wife who encourages me to be who I am unashamedly. I am also thankful for my Underwear News Briefs family that encourages expression in the purest of ways. For all of the guys out there who hid their inner undie desire, let’s stand up for our briefs!

Underrated Underwear—Is this Even Possible?
Let’s be honest—the men’s underwear world has a very expansive repertoire of brands displaying the latest fabrics. A wide array of cuts, and prices that range from a couple of bucks to well over a hundred dollars a pair. Conduct a simple web search of “men’s underwear brands” and you come up with a seemingly never-ending list of choices. It’s safe to say that the market is inundated with new designers constantly emerging.
Because of this, some of the greatest brands out there are often overlooked. Causing them to fall into the “Underrated Underwear” category. Being that my current fascination is the anatomical/ergonomical pouch brief (see post from March 6, 2016 BRIEF TALK –THE RISE OF THE POUCHES BY UNB TIM AND SALVATORE). I constantly troll the Internet for exciting and new briefs that allow my package to hang naturally as the creator intended. This has led me to find what I believe to be a hidden gym and all too often overlooked brand—John Sievers sold exclusively by www.internationaljock.com.
John Sievers is not your ordinary underwear line. The colors are bold. The fabrics are soft. The cuts are classic. Most importantly, the pouch is to die for. The next several lines of text will be devoted to enlightening readers to the genitalia utopia that John Sievers has to offer. Your most prized organ through fabric, cuts, colors, and pouch design.
Fabric:
Fabric is important to the overall feel and durability of any underwear that you purchase. You can immediately tell if you have gotten your monies worth by how well the cloth your underwear is made of feels to the touch of your most sensitive areas. John Sievers mainly offers a blend of Modal and Lycra. However, there are several Cotton and Lycra crosses in the line. Both blends are extremely soft, moisture wicking, and honestly sexually charged when holding on to your loin area. The designer has done a wonderful job of selecting fabrics that offer stretch-ability and durability. I think you will love how the fabric fits.
Cuts:
The cuts are classic, modern, and appealing to the eye. John Sievers offers two different side seam length; one that is 3 inches and one that is 5 inches. The 3 inch side seam is similar to a low rise high cut brief that you would find in other brands. It’s not quite a bikini, but doesn’t look like a full cut brief either. I love the version known as the “Natural Pouch Brief.” The 5 inch side seam is a cross between a full cut brief and a square cut boxer brief. Known as the “Natural Pouch Freestyler,” this design looks similar to a full coverage swimsuit that was popular in the 1950s. I see this option as perfect for the guy who enjoys the coverage of a boxer brief. But doesn’t like the constant riding up the legs that most boxer briefs offer—that sounds like me; wait, it is me!
**Of note, is the very comfortable 1 inch waistband that might be the softest on the market. The very bold print “John Sievers” brand name is scribed all the way around on most selections. It offers a masculine appeal to the manliest of men.
Colors:
The John Sievers brand offers the normal range of blues, blacks, white, grays, etc. However, what I find most appealing are the very odd colors that I just can’t find in any other brand. Persimmon, Marigold, Orchid, Lilac, and Grotto Blue are just a few of the bright hues offered in the line. I really enjoy a variety of color in my collection and consider rare colors a must have for my undie drawers. John Sievers definitely offers that.
Pouch:
For me, the Pouch of a brief is the most important consideration when purchasing. After all, great underwear can cost upwards of $25 to $35. Your manhood should be fully satisfied if your going to pay that much money for something very few people see.
The John Sievers pouch is described as natural. That’s because the pouch in every one of the briefs or freestyler designs is ergonomically constructed. To allow you to freely hang without restriction and binding. Scientifically, this offers all kinds of benefits from sperm production (if you are straight and want to make babies) to full erection while wearing the briefs (if you happen to have one of those moments that spontaneously happen beginning around age 12). THE POUCH IS AWESOME. If I had to rate the pouch on a scale of 1 to 10, I would definitely go with 10! Why you say? I haven’t purchased any other anatomical underwear that combine the feel of fabric with pouch size and true natural hang that John Sievers. The brand is simply underwear bliss for me.
To Sum it Up:
I recommend that every underwear enthusiast out there try this brand. Sadly, they are sold exclusively by International Jock and have not competing interests forcing a sale on the items. You can expect to pay around $25 a pair. International Jock runs a sale occasionally and is a great company to work with. I’ve never had any issues ordering from them and have enjoyed over the top friendly customer service.
In short, give John Sievers a shot! Hope to see you in some form of a Natural Pouch Brief soon! If you have any questions or want specific advice on pouches, hit me up on Twitter @manatomicallyme.
When you think classic, thongs may not come to mind. However, the Torrid thong from Gregg Homme is a classic, as far as we are concerned. It has been in their collection for a few years and for good reason. It’s super comfortable and fits amazing. This is the reason we chose this as our Thong recommendation of the week. Plus this is a great first thong for you guys who want to give them a try.
When you get the pair (if it is your first time wearing one). You will open the package and go how is my package supposed to fit in this. This must be a missize. Take my word, what may look like 2 sizes too small, is made out of an amazing fabric with 8 way stretch. This tiny thong will stretch to fit just about anyone. It really amazed me the first time I tried it. Its like there is magic in the fabric. To add to that magic is the light weight and durability of the fabric.
The fabric alone is reason enough for the thong! The color range is the second reason why we recommend the thong. They have not one, not two, not even 5 colors but 10! Yes its available in just about every color in the rainbow. You can get a purple, Orange, White, Black or even pink.
If you are new to thongs as we mentioned, this would be a great starter thong. Yes, it’s a bit pricy, but Gregg Homme is some of the best made undies on the market. They are made to wear all day and built to last. If you want to try this thong for thong Thursday, head to the Gregg Homme site. The Torrid Thong is listed under Essentials collection. It retails for $26.95!

Hey guys, Undies Rock here back at it with another review for the new Tommy John Move 360 sport boxer brief (furnished by Tommy John). I’m not a huge advocate of boxer briefs. I have heard good things about Tommy John and I have yet to try any of their products so I figured I’d give them a shot.
First off, whenever I get a new pair of underwear one thing that always sticks out to me is the quality. Right from the get go I could tell that this was a high quality pair of underwear. From the construction, to the material, to the waist band, everything was as solid as it could be. They are definitely designed for athletic guys in mind to withstand the most rigorous activities and multiple washes thereafter. Unlike the other boxer briefs I have tried, this pair provides substantial amount coverage. The length of the leg sits a couple inches above your knee, and the waist sits at your navel.
The 84% polyester 16% spandex material is smooth and soft. It doesn’t feel cheap, and provides the right amount of support and flexibility. It is also anti-microbial and anti-odor technology, which is great for athletic wear. The legs are constructed with, I would describe, as a traditional microfiber fabric. While the crotch and butt are more of a mesh (cooling zones) material for additional breathability. The material is offered in three standard colors: black, dress navy blue, and turbulence grey. They aren’t the most flattering, but they are good for everyday wear.
One feature that impressed me about this pair is the strong yet soft and not too restricting tagless waistband. Tommy John is stitched into the front center of the waistband. While the remainder of the waistband is detailed with dashes. Which I find adds an edgy vibe to a pair that would otherwise feel like traditional boxer brief.
This pair also has some unique features such as a utility pocket. It’s reinforced around the opening lips for added strength. I know it’s not a deal breaker when buying a pair of underwear, but this could be useful for stashing keys when on a run. Also the opening for the crotch is from the top. Which makes it more functional compared to the traditional side entry.
To get a feel for the pair, I test drove them through a normal day at work. The soft material and waistband maintained comfort throughout the day. There were no pinch points or any exceptionally tight regions. I have a ~34” waist and the medium I was wearing (rated for 31”-34” waist) felt true to size. Not too tight and not too loose. One observation that I made with this pair is that I was constantly adjusting myself throughout the day. I think this may be true for most boxer briefs for me, so it might be a symptom specific to all boxer briefs. The crotch has a lower center seam to aid the cupping effect of the pouch and give the appearance of a seamless crotch. Which is a huge plus for me. However, I found the crotch to slide down throughout the day. Instead of the pouch providing support, it just pushed my junk against the side of my leg. I knew I would start chaffing if I didn’t adjust, so I had to, which became annoying after awhile. For a pair that is advertised as requiring no adjustment, I was a little disappointed.
Currently you can find these directly from the Tommy John webpage for $34. This may be a little pricey, but the quality is well worth the price. Overall, although this isn’t an ideal pair for me (I might dig them in a brief). I can definitely tell from the construction that this would be a perfect pair for athletic guys who prefer a modern kick to the boxer brief.
