Andrew Christian is no stranger to making super fun undies. The latest Trophy Boy Gigolo Boxer. It’s more of a cross between a brief and a trunk than a full on boxer. For a boxer you think longer legs and a full body. this has more of a shorter leg and two cut outs on the side. I neglected to mention the sheer pouch!

This pair is part of the Trophy Boy line, which means its made for men with larger endowments. The pouch is specifically made so it will fit and show off what a larger guy has to show. The pouch also will, literally show off, what you have. It’s not super sheer but you will see everything, so if you’re thinking of wearing to the gym, you may think again or if your’e that bold I say go for it.

It’s part of his limited edition pairs. So this will sell out quick if you don’t get it early. It is also available in blue or red. It has the “Trophy Boy” branded waistband and contrasting accents on the trim. Made out of a 93% Rayon Made From Bamboo, 7% Spandex blend so it will fit to any body type.

If you wan this pair it currently retails for $27.43 at the Andrew Christian website.

Modus Vivendi Military line - Tom Cullis 09Modus Vivendi proudly presents the second part of its 2015 campaign in which its new collection is presented over a huge 10-part series in which the latest Modus Vivendi lines are sent around the globe to be worn by some of today’s most charismatic models and photographed by 10 visionary photographers.

After our first stop in Leicester, England, where we saw the Pride line sumptuously photographed by Gavin Harrison, our next stop is beautiful Newport Beach, California. The line presented is Modus Vivendi’s new Military line and the photographer who created these knock-out images is the renowned Tom Cullis. Recruiting an army of seven models (five men and two women) Cullis set to work interpreting the spirit of this new line and the results are, we think, sensational.

Xavier Guttierez, Adam Fletcher, Darrell Thomas, Matt LeMond, Rocky Russo, Mona Dash, Erin Lup and set assistant Joseph Sayers worked together with the photographer to create some of the most striking Modus Vivendi campaign images we have ever seen.

The Military line comprises boxers, briefs, jockstraps and tank tops along with hoodies, joggers and bermuda style shorts. All in khaki and black tones. A range of outstanding quality fabrics, with blends of cotton, wool, polyester and acrylic, has been used with touches of leatherette and other stylish details to create a mesmerising male clothing line, perfect for the upcoming winter.

LR_UNDaB14011_Lleg_blueThe Wonder Jock collection is pretty much a staple with aussieBum. Meaning it’s one of the collections they keep retooling and making better and better. The WJ collection is one that has a pouch that accents and shows off what you have, consider it the male equivalent of the wonder bra!

“WJBare by aussieBum is the perfect combination of your favourite aussieBum features in one product. Made with the exclusive Wonderjock technology, an original aussieBum waistband and our super-soft modal fabric, this range encapsulates ultimate aussieBum comfort and style. Available in 4 classic colours, WJBare comes in a traditional brief and the popular long-leg styles.”

This collection is available in a hipster and a brief. The two classic styles the WJ has been known for over the year. The pairs retail for $20 for the brief and $22 for the Hipster.

0a6245b1-18a3-449d-99f1-0a0b886b464fNasty Pig is a brand that isn’t afraid to take some risks! They have released the new Venom briefs. Which many may know by the title is a Snake print pattern! This was a pattern that was specifically designed by Nasty Pig for this pair. This one is one of the best they have ever released! Here is what they say about the pairs:

“Our venom briefs have an engineered snake print on them. That means the pattern doesn’t simply repeat, but the right scales fall in the right spots to accentuate the right things. The waistband has NASTYPIG woven in with a metallic thread. The colors are strong and loud…much like our customers.”

So this isn’t a pattern that was cut out and just pieced together. The scales on the pouch will accent what you have! It’s great to have more companies pay attention to patterns and prints. This pair is also available in Pink (as pictured) yellow and blue.

It retails for $29.oo on the Nasty Pig Site.

I consider myself a pretty active guy: I swim, run, bike, and I like play tennis and volleyball as well. I’m also an avid sports fan: I enjoy watching my favorite EPL (English Premier League) teams take the pitch on Saturday morning, or catching a clutch college football (American) game with a friend on the weekend.

So, when the issue of underwear for workouts was posed to the blog’s editorial staff, I quickly volunteered to submit a piece, because I take cues both from my own athletic experiences and what I see in media in terms of what professional athletes wear under their uniforms.

Before I delve into my recommendations, I have to say that I abhor compression shorts. I don’t get why they are necessary outside of letting the major sports labels market yet another garment that they can make a quick coin on. Another thought on the issue: why would you want to compress anything down there?

I’ve instead taken a cue of what to wear from our friends across the Atlantic, where briefs are still worn proudly under shorts across the continent. Watch any sport that involves Spaniards, Italians, Poles, Russians, or any European for that matter, and you’ll probably catch a briefline, if not a full brief sighting. What you’ll see is a low rise brief or bikini, typically in white but sometimes black (or even a color to match the team uniform).

With that reference in mind, here are my recommendations for some great white briefs to wear under your gym apparel. I’ve drawn inspiration from some of my favorite tennis and soccer players.


match1

The unlined front and seaming at the sides make the Jockey Elance bikini different from a lot of its peers. Hopefully you’ll be luckier than Nicklas Helenius and not get pantsed during a strike at goal.

match2

These Calvin Klein Tech Active sports briefs are motto bene. I’m sure Italian tennis stud, Fabio Fognini, would agree with my assessment since he wears these under his tennis kit too.

match3

What a joy it is when you combine the minimal cut of this Calvin Klein bikini with the soft and sumptuous modal fabric. Joe Cole would agree that bikinis are the way to go, especially when you are in the midst of a sweaty workout.

So that’s my recommendations for what to wear under your workout gear, whether you’re a professional or amateur athlete.

Joe Snyder Pride Frame Neon Tanga 03 GBP 18.00 @ Deadgoodundies.comWith a passion for thongs and underwear that shows off a butt, I was quite excited to receive my first pair of Joe Snyder underwear which happened to also be a thong. Joe Snyder is a brand that in my mind I have associated with thongs and sexy small underwear ever since I first discovered the brand. Now, I finally got to slide a pair on. It was the Tanga Pride Frame thong and its look was beautiful. This thong was black in color with a bright eye popping neon orange piping that wrapped around the entire pair. This color combination was a great choice by Joe Snyder and they have several more varieties to choose from. Another great thing about this thong is that it truly reminds me of what a thong is supposed to be, thin waistband with a high cut back, exposing the entire butt.

I decided to enjoy myself over a weekend and gave this pair a run through some errands, lunch with a friend, and good lounging at home. I slide the pair on, adjusted myself, and took a look in the mirror. This pair has a great package enhancing style to it. The piping wraps around the bulge in front giving you a nice lift that extenuates what you want to show off. An interesting thing about this pair is that the front pouch may begin to feel too small and you may feel that you are falling out of the sides. When I took a closer look I noticed a continuation of fabric under the piping at the bottom of the pouch. This is a great design catch! The pair offers a tight, lifting bulge but allows for additional fabric at the bottom to make sure nothing falls of out of the side. I loved this fact! I will say that at times I did get that feeling that I was coming out of the side and double checked, even though I knew that extra material was there.

The material is a nice soft nylon/lycra which offered comfort throughout my day. I wear a medium and the thong stayed true to size. Noting that the front pouch felt tight at times to me, I am not sure how bigger endowed men would feel wearing the thong. Perhaps as you move up in size, the pouch grows too.

I love a good thong and Joe Snyder did not disappoint. Not only was the thong beautiful to look at, the design was amazing, and the feel was great! I can’t wait to add this pair to my main rotation and wear it to work! No one will know what is under my suit that day but I will be proud of it! An additional note about the pair, Joe Snyder has made them chlorine resistant so that they may be interchangeable as underwear and swimwear! Great versatility for indoor and outdoor fun!

Pros:

  • Great piping contrast
  • Bulge enhancing with additional material for side support
  • Slim waistband

Cons:

  • Slight feeling of falling out of the side with tight pouch

This is the new line I hope you love it and go buy some. I want one of everything!

 

_MG_0419PPU has released their new Fall/winter collection. PPU is one brand that really reinvents itself. The last collection had new boxer briefs this one is more jock and bikini heavy. Which isn’t  a bad thing. They change things up in styles and colors quite often. Also, the brand is not afraid to mix it up with new materials, mesh and bright fun colors. Underwear should be fun shouldn’t it?

PPU has put their own spin on the jock several of the new pairs are a lot of fun. The jocks that I think are the most innovative are :

PPU_1455_blue_1

PPU 1455 Jockstrap is a not quite a jock brief but not quite  a jock

PPU_1458_red_1

PPU 1458 has the front of a bikini and not one but two straps in the back.

PPU_1463_white_1.jpg

PPU 1463 has a smaller front pouch and a regular jock back.

briefs or bikinis are big in this collection too. Briefs are making a big come back across all undies. The pairs I love are:

PPU_1466_salmon_2.jpg

PPU 1466 Bikini in salmon – has a super skimpy cut

PPU_1469_purple_1.jpg

PPU 1469 Bikini has a big bigger, but not by much cut of the 1466 but in three colors

PPU_1470_black_1.jpg

PPU 1470 Bikini is the largest of the cuts with a semi transparent fabric.

When you think of a basic collection, one brand that doesn’t come to mind is Gregg Homme. When you think of Gregg Homme, you think super sexy and amazing underwear. Ones you wear on an anniversary dinner or a hot date! So when I got the Torrid Basic Brief I thought, “oh cool a basic line” Well I should have known they put their own spin on the basic!

I say this because if you think it’s going to be totally basic, you are wrong. The first think you notice is the size. Like many pairs from Gregg Homme you pick them up and ask, how is this going to fit me its WAY too small. But the fabrics they use have amazing stretch and feel. How they find this fabric is beyond me but its some of the most amazing in underwear today.

The first thing you notice when you put it on is the fabric is slightly see through. After I put it on I could see pretty much everything. Granted it wasn’t a full on here’s all my business but it was noticeable. So I wouldn’t recommend then to be worn at a gym. The fit on the pair was very well.  As I mentioned above, if this is your first pair, you will not believe how one pair will stretch and feel amazing.

I wore these to work. Which is quite busy and always up and down so I knew they would get a good work out. When I put them on to begin with they felt a little small so I hoped this wouldn’t be an issue. But as the day went on they felt great and I didn’t notice them. The fabric has an 8 way stretch that will conform to any guy.

Sizing has never been an issue with me and Gregg Homme. They make their undies out of great fabrics that will fit their sizing charts. As I have said you may pull it out and go “NO WAY” but put it on and you will see. The pair i received was an XL and it fit great. As I said I had wondered about the fit through the day but it really held up great and didn’t ride down or feel too snug in any way !

Pros:

  • Amazing Fabric
  • Sexy see through material
  • Fit great

Cons:

  • I would like a bigger was it band (but thats a personal choice)
  • My not be great for a gym work out!

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing- 9
  • Construction/Materials -10
  • Styling -9
    Daily Performance  – 9
    Overall: 9.2

Gregg Homme furnished this pair for review. There are seven colors and it is available for $32.95 from the Gregg Homme Site.

The UNB Holiday shoot was shot! Many maybe going, shooting for the Holiday’s already? YES, to get it out to you guys we have to shoot it this time of year! The actual shoot will be out in Nov (shhh. Nov 28th). We had Derek Yates we have worked with a few times before. He is alway amazing to work with on each shoot. Then we had Nathan, new model we have never worked. He came down to be in the shoot and was a lot of fun (plus he wore our jock brief). Next we had Michael, who we found out is a big geek a heart and works at a video game store and is also a fitness competitor. I told him I never see guys like you working in my local video game store! And lastly is Chandler (who we profiled on the Brief Distraction today) who is a also a fitness guy and is TALL!

It was a long day for me because I have to head over 2 hours to the shoot and then back home in a day. The day had to glitches. The first was my DLSR camera’s batteries rand out halfway through for video and I had to use my phone. Which I hope turns out ok! I made the determination I need a real video camera. So if you notice a difference that is why! Next we had two pairs of underwear walk away. Lucky we had back ups but I was told the house we shot at in Birmingham is haunted so maybe the ghosts needed some new undies.

Above is a brief preview! We will have a lot more soon on the site and including videos. But follow us at the UNB Instagram account for more stuff from the shoot. We will post exclusive video previews and such there! I want to thank our brands in it, Clever, JOR, ManView, Modus Vivendi, Cocksox, aussieBum, Charles Owo and Wood Underwear.

I can’t wait to show you guys! I think you are going to love it!
