EW0334-2Before I start the review. Bikinis are my favorite cut of underwear. I love the fit and feel of them. When I saw the new Vermouth collection from Ergowear I knew I had to get some. I have a series of 3 underwear reviews coming up featuring Ergowear.

I have loved Ergowear since the early 2000’s. They make amazing pouches that fit like a glove. One of my favorites is a X3D brief in white. It’s got to be 10 years old and I still wear it. It’s one of those pairs I cant get rid of because of the fit. Flash forward to the new Vermouth collection.

EW0334-3

A few things to know about the Vermouth Collection. It’s a special collection they have released featuring some of their best sellers. They include styles from the X3D, Feel and Max collections. The styles include the thong, bikini and mini boxer. Also, there is just one color. It’s sort of a lilac (purple/pink color). This may scare some of you off but don’t let it.

So on with the review. Having a positive history with Ergowear, I was excited to try this line. When I slid it the Vermouth X3D bikini on I knew it would be a new favorite. The first thing I noticed was the fit. It’s a smaller cut bikini but with that ergonomic pouch. I loved the pouch and how it held everything together. The next thing I noticed was the amazing microfiber fabric. The fabric is some of the softest I have worn in a while. I thought it maybe modal but it’s a polyester/nylon blend. I love loved how it felt .

I wore the pair running errands. I wished I had had this pair in Vegas. The pair really breathes and moves with you. Its perfect for someone active or being outside in the hot sun. The fit kept all day and gave me amazing support. I really LOVED this pair. I wanted to wear it a second day, and  wished I had more than one pair.

Ergowear has one of the best sizing guides on the market. This will allow you to pick the perfect size. It think more brands should create a guide like they do. They tell you when you may want to go up a size. My XL fit me perfect. It wasn’t too tight or too loose. It was just right. I honestly don’t think you will have issues in sizing.

Pros:

  • Super comfortable fabric
  • Loved the color
  • Amazing and supportive pouch

Cons:

  • Some may not like the color
  • Some may not like the smaller cut

Reviews:

  • Daily fit: 10
  • Sizing: 10
  • Materials: 10
  • Styling: 10
  • Daily Performance: 10
  • Overall: 10

If you are a bikini fan this is a MUST have! Its not often I give a 10/10 on ratings but this has been one of my most favorite pairs I have reviewed in a long time.

The Ergowear Vermouth X3D Bikini was furnished by Candyman Fashion and is available for $28.48.

Underwear Kickstarters are taking off! The latest in the Kickstarter is JockUp!  I have followed them for a bit on Twitter and they reached out and told us about this effort. I really love underwear kick starters because you guys get to participate in the industry. If you see a company you like you can directly support them!

So what is JockUp doing?

“JockUp features a full line of underwear for the modern guy, specifically: real, masculine men that seek a fit and active lifestyle while wanting to look good. JockUp’s products are clean and confident with thoughtful detailing, which sets it apart from baggy ill-fitting cuts, crazy colors and materials of other brands. All garments are proudly designed and manufactured in California with moisture-wicking fabric, cut and sewn to enhance athletic performance.”

Their reward levels are pretty good as well. Here is a graphic explaining it all:

I personally think JockUp is doing some good things here. You guys should go look over the JockUp Kickstarter and if you like it, give some money!

FullSizeRender-1Summer is almost over but the ability to get great swimwear isn’t. I ran across the brand thanks to Colby Melvin. He posted a picture on his Instagram and I have to find out more about the brand! We got a chance to chat with them about the brand.
Q: What made you start your own swimwear line? How long have you been making these fun pairs of swimwear? 
I have always had an obsession with the beach since I was a little man, as I grew up older I always looked for the hottest swimwear and was never satisfied. Suits where always plain and simple solid colors and nothing that impressive that would catch someones attention . Till I made my own…DANNY MIAMI Swimwear!
Q: Some of your pairs are named Royal Lust and Lavish Lave. Where do you get inspiration for these prints? 
It represents me and my love for fashion with a touch from the sexiest place in the world… Miami.
I started the process at the begging of this year and recently launched the brand about 7 weeks ago, my inspiration for the prints always come from rich and vivid colors, extravagant, fancy prints like none other that  I call it Casual Luxury, there is nothing more casual then swimwear and underwear… Lol

jS8NLsN2.jpg-largeI’m N2-it, that’s for sure. N2N Air Jock Jockstrap

 

 

When you need a reliable, comfortable and sexy brand it’s hard to beat out N2N. They constantly produce high quality lines that define, support and accentuate all of the goods. This jockstrap was no different.

With a very cute, lean band the waist band design took on a “skinnier” look and design from most traditional jockstraps. The logo design is sleek and edgy with a streamline (literally, line) look. That plays very well in black and white, especially when constricted with the bold red pouch. The one thing that I thought was a bit off was just the sturdiness of the straps and band themselves.

I often say that I’ve got a nice lil booty for an average white boy. So perhaps that’s why I feel the straps and band were a little lackluster in their ‘support’. And comparing it with other N2N lines, like my thong, the straps are almost identical but the strength of them seem different. Perhaps it’s all in my head (very well could be) and does it mean that this isn’t still a super great jockstrap? No it does not.

Speaking of that red pouch from earlier, YAY! It is a classically perfect N2N pouch. It holds everything that it should well and helps really draw the eye. Everything from the bursting red color to the smoothness of the fabric makes this pouch pop. You’ll be able to rock this all day, all night and for some, even on the walk of shame (#nojudgment).

Look at this jockstrap as a whole and it is SO well done. The sleek and slim, black and white design of the waist band and straps plays just perfectly with the popping pouch of eye catching red. While the straps didn’t feel like they lifted my buns to high. holy heaven they did do their job well enough for me to be happy with this new pair from N2N.

Sizing will be consistent with your normal sizing and the 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex fabric blend is perfectly delightful.

Pros: Sleek and stylish, comfy and supportive pouch, playful colors

Cons: Smaller straps could mean less support,

Rating: 7.5/10

If you’re looking for a slender jockstrap to add to the bunch this is a good one to consider. Find the Air Jock on the N2N Bodywear page for $19.00

CX02_Shiraz_EditorialWe have to say Scott Cullens is one of the hottest models on the Underwear/Swimwear scene. In all our dealings with Scott he’s as nice as he is hot. He’s just one of those really nice guys out there. But now you can own a piece of Scott. It’s not exactly what you think. I know many out there would love to buy his underwear right off him. He’s auctioning off some of his shoes.

If you follow Scott on any social media you know he’s a big time shoe guy. He’s got a massive collection of everything you can imagine. I’m quite jealous of some of his shoes. Here is exactly what he’s doing:

100% of all proceeds go directly to Soles4Souls. 1.2 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day. 400 million are children. Many don’t have access to one of life’s most basic necessities: a good pair of shoes. Soles4Souls is a global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing.

All of the shoes are from my personal collection. Some are never worn, some barely worn, and some are collector’s editions. ALL are cared for and look new. These shoes are merely an incentive to open your hearts and donate to help another human being live better than they do at this moment. Help a child with basic life necessities we take for granted.

Go to Ebay and bid it’s only one for a few more hours!

PN_OnHK3.jpg-largeLast week my bum got chummy with my new pair of Bum Chums, British Puddings Rhubarb and Custard Trunks.

 

For starters I LOVE any pair of undies that calls its color Rhubarb, you won me over with that one BumChums. Now I just want pie. Anyway, I do honestly really love the color. Especially the contrast piping listed as (Custard, I mean come on! Love it). Enough about the colors? Fine.

The first thing that I noticed is that there is a definite difference between the tightness of the waist band verses the legs. I’m a size 31 waist so smalls can technically be hit or miss with me, there are a few brands that I know to just order up a size. This one however was the opposite, the waist band felt looser. Now, not loose as in I was gonna have dropping drawers throughout the day but it just didn’t have that relaxed hug. Comparatively the piping around the legs were very snug, on the boarder of a bit too much and passable.

Now the fabric is Polyamide 92% and Elastane 8% blend and do you know what they means? Heaven J The feel of the fabric is exactly what one wants in an underwear. It’s got a smooth, soft feel but it fits and holds the things it needs to fit and hold…if you catch my drift.

If you didn’t catch my drift, the pouch or “bulge” area was perfectly comfortable. It had a fair amount of room but it also had a fair amount of restriction. I am personally not a fan of underwear that I feel won’t give any resistance to hardening opposition. So I was very happy with this pairs pouch. 10 points to Gryffindor, I mean, BumChums.

Overall this pair of trunks was wonderful. It wore nicely throughout the day and was very comfortable in any position and motion. Sometimes great pairs aren’t so great when one does too much walking or steps throughout the day. These held up perfectly without losing any of the comfort. My one critique was just the waist band. The band itself is very cute and fun I just wanted a little more hug.

Pros: Super fun and creative colors, good wear throughout the day, super comfortable fabric

Cons: Slightly tight leg piping, a bit slack waist band

Rating: 8.5/10

These will make a great new addition to your undies collection! The British Puddings Rhubarb and Custard trunks for £15.99 at the Bum-Chums site

Bum-Chums furnished this pair for review

maskulo-wrestling-singletsJust arrived and still exclusive in North America to Jockstrap Central it’s fetish gear designer Maskulo with their latest creation – a ridiculously hot wrestling singlet.

Available in three colors, these full featured singlets all have Maskulo’s signature removable codpiece and an easy access open back – perfect for that next kink fueled wrestling session. Whether you’re grappling, tackling, or getting ready to be pinned, Maskulo’s edgy design is the sure fire way to get your body slammed… Inside or outside of the ring. Here’s the details:

Made with a stretchy spandex that wears like a second skin with shoulder straps that swoop dangerously down to the top of Maskulo’s signature black padded detachable formed cod piece (pouch) giving you one massive bulge no matter what state you’re in. Contrasting vertical racing stripes enhance the contours. Unsnap just a bit of the pouch for a tease or all the way for a full frontal assault. Contrasting inner leg racing stripes and piping hit home the sports fetish look.

Spinning around, you’ll find an open concept design – whether it’s the exposed back created by the single narrow fabric running vertically down from the shoulders or the pièce de rèsistance: a convenient and welcome exposed ass.

Made with durable fabrics, double stitching and all come with a complete extra set of hardware (snaps), they’re quality all the way. They’re available in white and black, blue and black or red and black. Be sure to check out our model Mick taking these bad boys ringside for a workout over at the Jockstrap Central website. Needless to say, the view over there is often Not Safe For Work.
