When Saxx asked me if I wanted to review the new Holiday collection I immediately said YES! They sent me two pairs to review! I was told the new collection was based on the “Ugly Christmas Sweater” and I said SOLD! I had to get these! They send some really great ones. The first pair I am reviewing is the Grey with Reindeer print.
I have tried a few pairs of Saxx over the years. They have an innovative pouch design that is designed to give some great support and cause less issues that would make you adjust. The first time you put on a pouch you kinda go “What the heck?” But there are no tricks or such to get it on. You can wear them for every day or to work out in.
We all know I’m not a big fan of trunks/boxer briefs. I never like the lack of support I get from many pairs. This is not something I had to worry about with Saxx. The innovative pouch design would guarantee me good support. There were a few times that it required some adjustment but it wasn’t bad.
I wore this pair on a day full of errands. I was pleasantly surprised that the legs stayed in place. These were a bit longer than previous pairs I have reviewed. They never rode up or caused issues. The pouch like I said gave me some issues but it
wasn’t a constant ongoing issue. The fabric is great with Saxx. It’s a 95% Viscose / 5% Spandex blend.
Let’s talk about the print. I am a big fan of prints and this one is amazing. It definitely was ugly sweater inspired. But to me it wasn’t ugly enough! It’s a lot of fun though. This would be a great pair to wear to a Holiday Party or home for the Holidays. It’s definitely something I haven’t seen in underwear before. Few companies have ever done pairs like this, my hat is off to Saxx!
The sizing is good with Saxx. The best thing to do is look at the sizing chart. The XL they sent fit me pretty well. I had no issues with it. It should be pretty standard with US sizing. They are based out of Canada and most Canadian companies match the US sizing standards pretty well.

Ken Wroy has been quite for a while on the underwear scene. I was pleased when they emailed me about two new collections. They are releasing the new Great Skylines and Golden Basics collections! I will say the Skylines really impresses me! The basics on the other hand are welcome as well. We all need amazing basics in our underwear drawer!
The Skyline are my personal favorite! They were inspired by the travels of Ken Wroy all over the world! This is what they had to say about the collection: “We captured the hustle and bustle of New York, the relaxing beaches of Sydney, the charming cafe’s on the streets of Paris, the hidden alleys of High energy Tokyo, and the contrasting rock-royalty of London, in our globetrotter underwear!”
One of the most innovative things is they inverted the sky line to it’s upside down. It adds a bit of interest to the pair with out making it too kitchy. Here are the pairs for each city:
The Golden Basics is part of the fundamental collection. I think basic collections are a lot of time under rated. I love wild colors and prints but there is something said about a pair of black briefs. They are classic and every guy should own a pair. The Golden Basics has a black brief with a gold waistband. This is a great addition to the classic line! The fit of Ken Wroy along with a classic cut makes a winner in my book!
These collections are now LIVE at the Ken Wroy site! We are going to review a pair soon! We hope you go check it out, you may have a new favorite underwear company
We love Jack! He’s been a great supporter of UNB and I ran across these pics on a hard drive and had to share on our Throwback Thursday! This was a shoot he did featuring Baskit underwear and swimwear
Kikini furnished several items from the new Allure collection. One of those pairs is the Bandicoot Jockstrap. This pair is the Kiniki take on the jock strap. The first thing you can count on is that the jock will be very sexy! This definitely is the case and one reason I really liked it!
They say this about the pair: Butt hugging Jock strap style rear with exposed back panel makes this tanga one to remember. They call this jock a tanga. What is a tanga? According to Google it’s “a pair of briefs consisting of small panels connected by strings at the sides” Meaning it’s more like a string bikini. This pair has a solid waist band with a pouch in front ad the exposed back panel.
This pair was a lot of fun to wear. Its made out of a great fabric and the back has a design I really liked. Unlike a traditional jock with elastic straps this pair has straps made out of material. It may sound odd but look at the picture below. Its as they described, a cut out panel. Its basically like they made a Tanga and cut the middle of the back out. The straps held their place and felt great on. Unlike a traditional jock, this pair didn’t bind or feel too tight in the leg straps.
The Bandicoot line has the same waistband as the Peek-A-Boo line. It’s a silver band with Kiniki written in the band. It’s a really great contrast against the black. To me this make the pair just pop. Its sexy without going too cliché.
I wore this to work and running errands. I really loved the support this pair gave me. The straps as I have mentioned stayed in place. It’s a great pair for being active. There was no binding or issues moving or lifting with this pair on. It can be worn by guys who have an active job or a desk job.
The one issue I had with the pair is the sizing. It did fit me in the size they sent. The issue was the waistband was a bit tight at times. In normal wear it didn’t bother me. When I put it on or took it off I could tell that the waistband was at the limit. So if you’re on the upper end of the chart pay attention.

BodyAware furnished us with a few hot things to review. The Backless Thrasher Brief is one I specifically requested. One of the previous pairs I have from them is the Well Endowed brief and I loved it. This seems to be a similar cut and I had to try it. So, when I opened the package and there it was I got really excited!
When I opened the package and saw the brief I was a little worried about the size. It didn’t seem like it would fit me very well. I mean the pouch is small in the front. I slid it on and the fabric stretched and became very form fitting. The brief is made out of the most amazing fabric. The fabric is 85% nylon/ 15% spandex. The brief is a VERY brief cut. For many out there this is a selling feature of the pair. The back is more of a jock brief than a brief.
I wore this to the UNB Holiday shoot. I knew it would go through it’s paces. You may think a shoot is easy work but it’s on the go the entire time. It really amazed me how well the brief did during the day. After my initial “This isn’t going to fit.” I swear the pair molded to my body and just felt amazing. The entire day it felt like I wasn’t wearing anything. This has to be one of the favorite pairs of this year that I have reviewed.
One feature that I have to talk about is the “unique up-front pouch design.” BodyAware is known for their great pouches. They give you great support and fit the way it should fit! This pouch reminded me of an ergonomically designed pouch. It didn’t give you too much of a bulge and could be worn to work without being too bulgy. They did an amazing job on the pouch!
The fabric while it felt amazing. I didn’t notice it till the end of the day that it’s mildly see through. I received the black pair and until I went to take it off I didn’t notice how see through it was. If you see the picture here you can see the transparency. It’s not bad but could be another selling point for some of our readers.
The sizing of BodyAware is pretty awesome. This pair I feel even if you bought the smaller size it would stretch and feel great. Sizing on the site runs anywhere from small to XXL. They make underwear for guys of all sizes. We all should be sexy regardless of the size!

I don’t normally give things 10’s but this has to be one of my favorite pairs I have reviewed in a long time. It hit all the right notes for me. It didn’t want to take it off the fabric felt great and the fit was amazing. If you haven’t tried BodyAware I recommend it. This pair is AWESOME!

Andrew Christian furnished a few of the new Black line to review. The new line is one of their newest collections. It is “Our BLACK Collection features a no frills, all sexy brief you can enjoy anywhere from work to the gym and on to your hottest date.” This is the answer to those who wanted a more classic design from Andrew Christian.
I really liked the look of the new Black brief. It’s very classic but not too classic. That may sound odd, but it’s a great classic design with new fabrics. The fabric of the pair is one of my favorite things about the line. It’s a 93% Rayon Made From Bamboo, 7% Spandex. Which may seem a little odd but it fits really well. The rayon is super soft and mix in the spandex for some great support.
The day I wore this was over a work day. As I have said before the new job is a bit more active. So I have to do a lot more than my desk job. Picking a pair of great underwear is even more important. The pouch gave really great support and it fit very well. The classic design had a full back which stayed in place. It moved with me and did an amazing job. This definitely could be a work pair or gym or date night. It’s pretty versatile pair of underwear.
Colors are more classic as well. Some of the previous collections have been a lot of neons and other bright colors. This has red, black and blue. The waistband is a black band with yellow trim and the Black name in the band. Its not classic but not over the top either. I think it’s a nice touch to the pair.
Sizing for Andrew Christian is pretty standard. I can’t remember when I had an issue with a pair being too small. I have found that the XL can fit larger than suggested. Trust me I know this for fact. Their size chart isn’t that crazy either. Its been pretty standard for the last few years.

Find the Black Brief at the Andrew Christian site for $25.00. I definitely will wear this pair pretty often. I have two more pairs from the line to review including a trunk! Look for those soon!
There is a new brand on the market called Matthew Jewson Bodywear. Matthew Jewson is based out of Canada and has a very fun first collection. “Matthew Jewson Bodywear is a Luxury Menswear line that revolves around the basis of well fitting clothing. From there it can be as sexy, fun, or classic as you want, but all the while remaining well fitted to give any man a boost of confidence from the minute they slip a pair on. All of the items you purchase are Handmade in CANADA.”
What is in the first collection? It consists of Underwear, Swimwear, Eroticwear, Pleather and Latex look items. The collection has some very sexy cuts and materials. Matthew is about embracing your sexual side and having fun with it. At least thats the impression I get from the collection. I am liking what I am seeing from the initial collection. I am going to profile one piece from each category.
The Matthew Jewson Entice Boxer is a boxer that has a bamboo pouch sounded by mesh. It has the MJ logo on the front. We guarantee you will feel sexy wearing it
The Matthew Jewson Contour Swim Jock. A few brands have done these over the years but I like how Matthew made a jock brief cut in a swim. So many guys want this cut to wear. I’m sure it will be one of the most popular pairs of the swim collection.
The Erotic Collection in Matthew Jewson Combat Complete set. They do something I wished more brand would do is sell everything in one collection. The Combat collection contains the ” Combat Harness is made of black elastic giving an easier fit than most leather harnesses and may be worn above the pecs or below and the Combat Holster, inspired by the classic gun holsters, is a mixture of a jock with leg straps featuring a pleather front lifting pouch”
The Matthew Jewson Latex Look Thong. Are you a fan of the look of latex? But hate the way you have to care for it? The Latex look collection is made out of a specialty spandex fabric to give you the look of latex without the hassle. The pouch has a lifting strap for maximum lift and the back will accentuate your assets.
One thing you should note is the sizing of the brand. The XL is 34-36. The reason for this is that Matthew “had been working on creating a well-fitting pair of underwear; due to his extra thin stature.” so the sizing starts at 26 and goes through 36 inches.
If you want to check out the initial collection go to the Matthew Jewson site.
Ergowear has a new Max Suave collection out. What makes it so awesome is the Gold Edition, aka Gold waistband. We hope you give it a look
Review Kiniki Peek-A-Boo Brief
Kiniki is becoming one of my new favorite brands. The last reviews we did were a lot of fun and they asked us to review some of the new Allure line. Kikini furnished us with this pair and many others to review. The Allure line is super sexy and fun. It has a lot of mesh, sexy designs and skimpy cuts. Mix all that together and you have a really awesome collection. The pair I will be reviewing for this review is the Peek-A-Boo Brief.
The Peek-A-Boo brief is a mix of mesh and solids. The mesh panels are in the pouch and back. This means you will show off all your goods. The black fabric and mesh are super sexy to me. The cut outs with the mesh are made to be shown off. Unfortunately for my review I was the only one who saw the pair on me! This is a total date night pair. Your other half will definitely enjoy the reveal after the date!
The pair has a classic brief cut. Meaning it’s not cut too high or too low. The waistband is the Kikini signature band in metallic silver. The contrast to the black to me is a great touch. I think if they had had a black band it would have gotten lost. The silver just pops and adds something to the pair. The mesh panels make for sexy cut outs.
I wore this pair to a new part time job I have that is a bit more active. I wanted to see how well it would do under an active situation. The fit on these were great. They moved through the day and didn’t bunch or bind. The only issue I had was with the pouch. The seam down the front was a little annoying at times through out the day. I had to adjust so I didn’t rub against it. The back seams didn’t have the same issue.
The sizing in Kikini is pretty spot on. The XL I received fit me well. It was a bit tight but not binding tight. The other pairs I had fit a little looser. However, this didn’t detract from the pair at all. I would say double check the size charts from Kiniki.

Find the Peek-A-Boo Brief on the Kikini site for £18.90. Will I wear this pair again? Yes I definitely will. The seam was only a minor issue to me.

Jack Adams is back at Jockstrap Central, bigger and bolder than ever which new jockstraps and sexy retro styled gym short shorts along with a new hot model with a killer looks and body to match. Here’s the details:
RUGGED AND MASCULINE JACK ADAMS ATHLETIC JOCKSTRAPS
Like last year’s Old School Jock, Jack Adams’ latest jockstrap creation takes inspiration from the classic jocks of yesteryear but improves on those jocks at every turn. These sturdy jocks include all your favorite sport jock features like a rugged, super wide waistband and a durable woven pouch. The quality is impeccable and constructed to withstand any vigorous workout.
First, the pouch: It’s a ribbed knit made with a soft, right out of the box, poly cotton blend. The rib provides support, stretch and expansion where you need it. The rib also helps define your manhood.
The waistband is unbelievable: It’s just short of 3 inches wide made with a high density weave that’s snug enough to keep everything in place and sturdy enough to prevent the waistband from folding over. Two quarter inch horizontal fabric stripes are sewn top and bottom and not only provide extra support but also add a sporty and stylish touch. Finally, full 1 inch wide elastic leg straps finish it all off.
The three color variations are bold and masculine in either royal-blue and grey, grey and navy-blue or red and black. Definitely a jockstrap that deserves top drawer (or locker) status.
RETRO AND SUPER SEXY AIR MESH GYM SHORT SHORTS
Whether it’s for unencumbered movement during running or jogging or simply to show off, Jack Adams new Air Mesh Track Shorts will do the trick.
It’s a 1970’s retro style throwback short short that’s super sexy with a super low rise of 8 inches and an inseam of only 3 inches. It’s made with “air mesh” and even with the light inner lining in white, air will flow freely when you work up a sweat. And speaking of lining, in the case of the black and red versions, the white lining shows through the outer mesh has the added bonus of really defining your bulge.
More details: The welcome V slit up each leg helps with movement, contrasting piping down each side and around each leg opening hit home the sporty retro look and a contrasting draw string will keep things secure.
Available in three colors, White with blue detailing, Black with white detailing or Red with black detailing. With limited stock and an awesome price, these are going to sell out quickly at Jockstrap Central.
JACK ADAMS BACK TO OLD SCHOOL
Finally, the best selling Jack Adams Old School 2.0 Jockstrap is back in all three original colors but also a new version in black with blue detailing but the best news is the reduced regular pricing.
As always, be sure to check out Jockstrap Central for all their hot models putting the new gear through their paces

To day is Fetish Friday. The day we celebrate all things fun and to make you feel sexy as hell! Before we delve into more fetish wear I though we needed some super hot undies to cover today. One brand that is a lot of fun and boarding on fetish is the Thrust line from McKillop or if you want to get naught go to UnderFetish to see super not safe for work pictures.
This brings us to the Thrust line. This line is no stranger to being sexy. The new line you can go sexy or you can go freaking sexy. Whats the difference? The sexy line is made out of solid fabric where as the freaking sexy is totally mesh. By mesh we mean there is NOTHING left to the imagination! You will be showing it all off who ever you choose to show off!
The collection in the whole scheme of things is not over the top. It’s more of an every day line with a fun twist. You can wear the solid fabric maybe on a first date and then the mesh on the fourth! I have to throw in my opinion, the mesh is the “I’m going to get busy tonight and want to get prepared” pair. It’s all about feeling sexy and doing something about it!
So whats’ in the new collection? (Bespoke) Thrust Brief Black Mesh, (Bespoke) Thrust Brief Black Modal, (Bespoke) Thrust Full-Jock Black Mesh, (Bespoke) Thrust Full-Jock Black Modal, (Bespoke) Thrust Hiphugger Black Mesh, (Bespoke) Thrust Hiphugger Black Modal, Thrust Jock Black Mesh, Thrust Jock Black Modal, Thrust Pouch Black Mesh, Thrust Pouch Black Modal and XXX Thrust Glory Hole Jock (black Mesh). Prices range from $24-$33.
We just showed you the Modal collection here. If you want to see the mesh go to McKillop site or to UnderFetish to see the really NSFW pics.
Finding new fetish brands for you guys is one thing I really love! One of the new brands I just love is Maskulo. You may have seen them at Jockstrap Central. We have promoted them a few times. I wanted to give you guys a more in depth view of this company. Which totally fits our Fetish Friday brand! This is not gear you wear to the grocery store, but for a fun night.
The first thing that stuck me about the company is they are based out of Russia. I wasn’t expecting it, rather I was thinking they were out of Germany. I say this because of all the political issues surrounding being gay in Russia. This brand definitely is after the gay market but anyone wanting to have fun is definitely welcome!
One thing you may notice about the pairs is, they are inspired by Football (American that is). Most of the pairs have a padded section that will remind you of football pants or shoulder pads. My personal opinion is I Love this look. I have always had a thing for this kind of gear. I can’t just break out the UNB budget on the gear. The Jocks are at the low end at $38.52 (with exchange rates on 35.40 Euros).
What gear do they have?
Men’s Codpiece JockStrap G-string Thong Underwear – If I had to pick a favorite piece in the collection it would be the jock. I love the football inspired look of the entire collection and the gear geek in me would love to put it all on. The jock to me is HOT. It has a foam rubber cod piece. That detaches from the jock for easy access. Another piece of the jock I like is the waistband. Unlike a lot of leather looking fetish jock, its has a more traditional waistband. But much like a leather jock this is made for fun!
Men’s Leggings. Codpiece, leather-look pads. Gay fetish gear. Electric Blue – Not everything is backless in the collection. The leggings are more like runners with a cod piece. “the leather look rubber-foam pads will make your thighs and calves look very impressive. You can enjoy them by your own or invite several more lycra or muscle fans.”
Men’s Fetish Spandex Shorts. American football style. Codpiece, Thigh pads. White, Black – You can see the football inspiration in the pants. On the thighs are two padded panels that definitely mimic the football pads. The white also bring out more of the compression gear as well. Image if UnderArmour went fetish and you get this pair!
Men’s Fetish Spandex Wrestling Singlet. Yellow Lycra XS XL XXL Kickboxing COR – The singlets are a like a lot of the fetish singlets. It’s low cut and has an open back. The one addition that makes it truly Maskulo is the cod piece in the front that is detachable. You can wear it on or off.
Mens Fetish Top (Short Sleeve T-Shirt) with Shoulder guards / pads. Red – “Huge shoulders make a man look very impressive! That is why we created fetish t-shirt / top with leather-look shoulder pads!” This shirt has the look and feel of shoulder pads with out the bulk. It’s a super hot look in the shirt.
The sizing made me do a double take. The sizing is: 2XS (26-28″, 67-71 cm), XS (28-30″, 72-76 cm), S (30-32″, 77-81 cm), M (32-34″, 82-86 cm), L (34-36″, 87-91 cm), XL (36-38″, 92-96 cm), 2XL (38-40″, 97-101 cm), 3XL (40-42″, 102-106 cm), 4XL (42-44″, 107-111 cm), 5XL (44-46″, 112-116 cm). It’s every two inches is a new size.

We got a chance to talk to the Emperor of Crochet Empire, Andy! We talked to him about the new collection. We hope you will check it out
Crochet Empire has come on the market and really taken a place in the world of Jocks, what has made you guys so popular in the world of jocks?
I think people really like that the designs are customizable and they’re just so comfortable. There’s a lot of presumption that the pouches will be scratchy, but they’re extremely soft and comfortable.
Now we are moving on to Crochet Empire 2.0, what can you tell us about the new collection? What sets it apart from the first collection?
The only structural change is in the leg straps. I received some feedback that they were a little long, so I’ve made them a little more snug.
The other changes is an organized line with designs that fit into a group. All jocks are made with the same yarn, no matter who made it. There are 7 new sexy designs will be quite sharp.
Did you have an inspiration for the new collection? What was it?
A long time ago I found several patterns I loved, and am just takin advantage of being in charge to finally make them.
Do you have big plans for the launch of the new collection? If so what do you plan on doing?
Hm. No. Just a social media campaign. I probably should have done something. Oops.
The jocks are all hand made, how long does it take to make a jock? Does this affect availability of pairs?
These jocks are probably all 4-6 hours of crocheting. There’s a lot of design in each one and the yarn changes often. That’s what makes them take longer.
You Jocks have been seen on Seth F and Jack Mackenroth, who would you like to see in your jock?
Oh, there are so many guys who would be amazing. Jonathan Toews, Jake Arrieta, Chris Evans and so many more.
When will the new collection be released?
Any day now.
