It still makes me laugh that the Baskit Just /b/ Trunk review was banned on YouTube. We did it over a year ago and BAM the YouTube gods said NO it must go. Now you can buy a pair of banned underwear for just $12. Also, check out some of the $5 deals on the specials page. You can stock up on some great undies.
Paul Groslouis a fan of Cheapundies.com sent this in to Cheapundies for them. Its’ a pole dance while he is playing happy birthday on the clarinet. Its creative I will say!
Have you heard of Genius underwear? If not you’re not alone they are a company out of Lima Peru. They have some great colors and prints. Here is one of their pairs. Be warned the site is in spanish.
We all love underwear and the guys here at UNB are some of the biggest underwear lovers around. So I asked the guys which brands/pairs they wanted to try in 2015. You may think we have tried it all but there are so many brands out there I don’t think we could possibly try them all. So here are some from the guys and what they want in 2015
UNB Bryce – Being a fan of underwear there are always brands I have yet to try. In 2015 one brand I would love to try out is Stonemen. It is based out of Australia and has some of the most unique prints I have seen on underwear. The underwear features artwork rather than just a print that is repeated. It is so unique. The way the pairs fit in the photos looks like they would be comfortable and supportive. So that is the one brand I am hoping to try out in 2015.
UNBATL Briefs – For years and years I always wore briefs. Maybe a jock or two. As my collection grew I started branching out. In 2014 I really got into wearing thongs. In 2015 I want to try some of the more erotic underwear that’s out there. Both Cocksox and N2N have a great selection to pick from. The Cocksox slingshot is so skimpy; I imagine it’s like wearing nothing at all. And the N2N Titan Jock intrigues me; are those snaps really functional or more for the look? Only way to find out is to try them both.
UNB TMB – The reason I want to try Bjorn Borg underwear is threefold. First, the cut and style of their underwear seems like it would be comfortable. Two, the patterns and choice of colors are fun and exciting. Three, the combination if the cut and style and color and patterns make for very sexy and fun underwear.
UNB Kyle – One of the biggest referrals for underwear is word of mouth. We all want to experience that exceptional style and comfort and lean on our friends to give suggestions or feedback on what they have tried and love. A friend suggested 2EROS which I have never tried and it immediately shot high up on my list. The Icon brief is a brief that has simplistic yet outstanding visual appeal with contrasting colors, signature waistband and icon on the butt. It also comes in low rise which is something I always look for in my briefs.
UNB Tim – I have been talking to a few guys on Twitter and want to step outside my box a little and get some more fetishwear pairs. One that has caught my eye is the BodyAware Latex Pouch Brief. I have never had any latex but the one thing that made me want this pair is that it’s available in PINK. I would take either the black or Pink but I have a weakness for pink. I think BodyAware is an amazing company that does super fun pairs.
Who doesn’t love a thong? Well in the lasted Andrew Christian video Ab-stract he features some of his newest undies including this thong. If you want to watch the video or check out the undies go to the Andrew Christian
website.
You may have seen the new brand called Thrust from McKillop. We got a chance to talk to Ryan and find out all about the brand. Here is the interview we did!
Can tell us about Thrust? Why create another line? How is it different form McKillop?
Thrust was created as an alter ego to our Mckillop brand, Mckillop was created as the utmost in sophistication and with that we set up a storyline that very conservative in nature over the past 5 years we thought about what to do next, we could have simply expanded our color scheme but then our original theme would have been lost. We also felt that the path Mckillop was on couldn’t get as “Dirty” as we wanted it to because of our name. Mckillop has a lot of amazing plans for the future and we wanted to keep that name out of the bedroom per say and with Thrust we intend on being a bit more raunchy. With that being said Thrust is also quickly (and I mean very quickly – in a matter of days) is already growing into its own storyline where we believe Thrust is not only going to be attracting a tawdry audience it is also going to target the real man. After being in this industry and being shown image after image of athletic perfection there is no one showcasing a realistic viewpoint of what real men look like and it is our goal to bring this change through Thrust.
Your email you sent out said it was a year in the making, What is the philosophy for the brand?
We actually started this I think 2 years ago now, it was an idea we had when we were still in Canada. But the past year is when we really committed to it. And quite frankly we needed our design studio to be up and running in Mexico before expanding into a new and more complicated color scheme. We spent all of December creating our first phase of designs and training everyone on a completely new direction [manufacturing wise]. The philosophy simply put is to be as different as possible from Mckillop and our competitors and to speak to a new audience in the language the understand instead of trying to fulfill an ideal that really is impossible.
Who is the line made for? Do you have a specific guy in mind?
The line is made for a more rustic man that is in tune with his sexuality and is not afraid to express himself. It is also for any man that is also in tune with our idea to depart from the plastic ideal of what is means to be a man. Perfection is over rated and we are making thrust for men that know who they are and don’t need an underwear box to tell them what they need to be like to be considered a man – or a part of the gay community
Can you tell us about the three different line? The Command, Conquer and Triumph
Command is Thrusts signature collection – with just a sliver of mesh on the front it shows just enough to to turn curiosity into action. It comes in pouch, jock, brief and low boxer. Made of modal and mesh it is soft for daily wear and just the right amount of risque for the weekend.
Conquer is our modal and cotton line of everyday underwear, we have designed a Jock, Pouch, and 2 boxers in our signature colors black, white, red. Conquer takes the best cuts and fabrics and adds a little excitement with our colors.
Triumph is awesome , we have taken 2 things we love and put them together, We love the nylon fabric combination with the mesh and created a line that is daring but also leaves a little to the imagination with the solid covered pouch. We have also created 3 different pouches Grow, Show and Impress so the fit is totally customizable to your anatomy. In Triumph you will look and feel your best and no one ever needs to know what is below the waistband they will have to find out for themselves. Triumph comes in briefs, jocks, pouches, and boxers in the 3 custom fronts.
What makes this different from other underwear on the market?
We find that the market is oversaturated with all of the same images and styles and we feel they are only communicating to one type of person, Thrust is here to communicate a very different story to a man that has been neglected for way too long. And to get a little dirty along the way.
Where can I readers find the brand?
Thrust is Now Open at www.Thrustmen.com – We are also opening with 2 massive deals $2.00 jocks while supplies last and 50% Off everything else until Jan 15th
Colorful prints are one of my new passions for underwear. There is one company that has taken the print and run with it, that brand is Discover. Its a relatively new brand that came on the market in August/September of last year. They just released the second collection. It’s a lot more prints and patterns. The previous collection was a mix of solids and prints.
These are lifestyle images of the current collection. You can see the product images at GDD World site. If you can’t find it at your Favorite Underwear retailer then go to Candyman Fashions to buy them!
The new Trophy boy brief is out. I will say this is one of my favorite lines from Andrew Christian. This line is made for the guy who’s got a trophy to show off. It has a super large pouch and is a blessing or guys who need it. Each guy has different needs in underwear, some need pouch, some need back coverage and the list goes on. Andrew Christian answered the endowed problem and has kept the line around!
Here is what Andrew Christian has to say about the pair: “The waistband features our signature Trophy Boy label with a pop of color and is soft to the touch as well giving the appearance of a smaller waistline. Bold colors with contrasting stitching and trim, will get you excited to put these on. This brief is very similar to our Almost Naked collection with more room in front, just where you need it. The anatomically correct brief features dual contrasting fashion detailed leg openings. When you pull them on it feels like You’re not wearing any underwear at all, your package falls naturally into the super soft snuggle pocket to create a truly enjoyable unique wearing experience. Virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, re-adjusting, sweating and chafing.”
The new colors available are heather and purple. This is a limited edition pair so it won’t be around long so you snooze you loose! Its available for $19.93 from the Andrew Christian site. Check it out if you are interested fast!

You may or may not know about JW Collection Hard Impact Underwear. The picture features Jake the owner and designer of JW Collection. Check them out
The League range from aussieBum is a staple of the brand. Each year this line is updated. Some years its a a slight color update, meaning they add one or two colors. Other times they do a complete revamp. This year they did a complete revamp of the line. The colors they chose are a mix of colors you don’t normally see in swimmer. I really like the color selections.
The colors they chose are: Flamingos (pictured above), Peacocks, Sharks, Sparrows, Dolphins, Tiger, Doves, Leopard and Whales. Can you guess which colors is which? I bet you can’t. Well Flamingos is pink, Peacocks is a teal, Sharks is a lighter blue, Sparrows is red, Dolphins is a medium blue, Tiger is orange, Doves is white, Leopard is black and Whales is a dark blue. All pretty cool colors.
The line is a square cut design. Each year is represented on the front right hip or back in the number. This year is 15 so there is a 15 on it. This series has been around for over 5 years so you may have seen it on the net with different pictures. The first time I remember seeing it was in 2010 and they did a Water Polo shoot.
It’s a great suit for those not wanting to go full swim brief but wear something fun at the beach or pool. With the addition of these amazing colors you will stand out for sure. Especially if you wear the Flamingos pink suit. That suit, mark my words will be one of the first to sell out. Pink in swimwear is always awesome. Pink isn’t going anywhere in men’s underwear or swimwear.
If you are interested in the line you can see all the pictures at the aussieBum site. The suits retail for $36.21 on the aussieBum site.
What happens when you mix a great photographer and amazing underwear? You get the ErgoWear shoot Armando Adajar just completed. This series features Xavier Sanchez.
It’s super cold today prob the coldest of the winter so far here in the ATL so I wanted a picture to warm climates today. This pic from Aronik fit the bill. Hope you enjoy!
When you think Pop Stars you would want as as an underwear model, I would be safe to assume that Justin Bieber is not top of your list. But he is the new face of Calvin Klein. It was released on his Twitter with the phrase “it begins.” I will be the first to admit the pictures don’t look half bad.
Justin joins former CK underwear models Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Sabato Jr, Marcus Schenkenberg, Fredrik Ljungberg, Djimon Hounsou and Brandon Stoughton. CK has never shied away from making controversial picks for their models. In the 197o’s he had a very young Brooke Shields say “Nothing becomes between her and her Calvins” when she was just 17. When he got Marky Mark aka Mark Wahlberg he had a rougher image than he does today. So many people were skeptical about it.
When I first saw this I thought maybe it was a hoax. Back in the 90’s Woody Harrelson had a bill board up in Times Square as a CK underwear model. It turned out it was just part of a movie called “The Cowboy Way.” But do a Google search and you will see this is legit. It’s reported in everything from the Daily Mail in the UK to US Magazine. So the Bieb’s is going to be in CK for a bit.
What do you guys think to this choice? It’s not the one I would choose for them. I think they should get an someone like Adam Levine, Chris Evans, Liam Hemsworth or for a lesser known actor maybe Matt McGorry. But I can see why they would pic Justin. For one, he’s a controversial figure and they are going to get massive publicity (we are doing a post on it). Next, you got to admit he does look good in the pics. I was surprised he has put on some muscle, has a few more tats and yeah prob photoshopped for it.
Do you feel CK made a good choice in choosing Justin s the new face of CK? Or do you think they made a big mistake in having him pose in his undies and joining the ranks of previous models.
Are you going to refresh your underwear drawer? As I said earlier in the Baskit post we need to create a new tradition where we buy new underwear at the start of the year! So we want to know are you planning to buy new underwear? Or have you? Vote in our poll below
Looking for a great new brief? Check out the Pop Noir Brief from Go Softwear! We love them and are looking forward to their new collection next month.
The temperature is about to turn COLD here in the States. Even in warmer climates a cold front is moving in and bringing below average temperatures! So it’s the weather for Long Johns. It’s making wish I had snagged me a pair before now! Go Softwear’s American Jock has added pair of long johns to the Active line.
These aren’t your typical long johns. They are made out of a “lightweight athletic stretch mesh fabric making them ideal to wear underneath regular pants for warmth or with your favorite workout gear for added muscle support.” So they may not be ideal for super cold climates but if you’re planning to be active and want some extra coverage these maybe perfect for you!
The entire Active line is black with a trim color. Those colors are red, royal and yellow. The design as described by Go Softwear is ” This design has a functioning front fly for easy access as well as banded at the bottom with contrast color trim for a clean sporty look. The colorful 1 ¼ inch waist band is superbly woven with AMERICAN JOCK logo feels like a second skin”. The long Johns retail for $49.50!
It’s a really new take on long johns. I love the what Go Softwear does for men’s underwear. They are a company that has it’s own vision and has been around for a while. They continually do amazing underwear! Check these out and more at the Go Softwear site.

Mystery Underwear Challenge
One of the best things about underwear is the common ground it gives you with other underwear enthusiasts. There is so much about underwear that can bring people together as we have noticed at Underwear News Briefs with our staff and readers. From the brands to the styles, colors, design, and fit, the conversation pieces are endless. Male, female, gay, straight, it does not matter because we all love underwear and we love sharing what we love about underwear with one another.
Since starting at UNB, I (@UNBKyle) have made some great relationships with all of the above. I have bonded through underwear with other staff members, brands, readers and even models. One bond that has continue to grow was with my fellow writer UNBJon (@UNB_J). This dynamic duo has been quite fascinating as we cover a wide variety of likes and dislikes. As we continued to talk and discuss underwear, we came up with a great way to strengthen this new found friendship and underwear collection.
Throughout 2015, we are going to choose 1 pair of underwear a month for each other as a way to step out of what we know and love and experience either what the other loves or what we have not experienced yet. It is our Mystery Pair Challenge in which each month we will select a pair of underwear from any brand and style of our choosing for the other to wear and review. We will send the pair to one another and not know what it is until we open the package and reveal our new gift. No matter how different or familiar with what we already know, the gift must be accepted each month. It is both nerve wracking and exciting at the same time.
Stay tuned for the 1st Mystery Pair reveal!
Today’s Brief Distraction is Cellblock13. This is Vasil wearing the Enforcer Jockstrap in Green. It was photographed by Timoteo.

Here is what they have to say about the pictures “First of all we wish you a very happy new year ! Here are the latest photos taken by photographer Fab Photographie in our small town Saumur. Of course we are wearing our new Petit Q underwear collection ;)”

Welcome to 2015
Happy New Year to all of our Underwear News Briefs readers out there. Another year has come to a close and whether it was a good year or a bad year we are all ready to see what 2015 will bring us. Personally, 2014 was a decent year for me and it is where my start came with Underwear News Briefs. I was honored and privileged to join the UNB team where I have made some great new friends and been able to experience more of the underwear world than I had done in the past.
As I have been in my first year at UNB, I have been exposed to many new brands through posts and advertising but have not had the ability to wear them yet. We have some great new UNB projects coming this year that we will tell everyone about soon!
For myself, I want to really expand my underwear knowledge and drawer with new brands that have been standing out in advertising for me but I have yet to slip on. So for 2015, I am ready to try 15 new brands that I have never worn before. These 15 brands have been on my wish list for a while and I am not going to make them a reality. For some of these brands, I am not sure exactly what pair to buy yet and would love any input or suggestions from our readers. Feel free to email me at kyle@underwearnewsbriefs.com or tweet me at @UNBKyle if you have suggestions or want to pick a pair from one of my upcoming purchases.
