Review Teamm8 Mate Brief

No Comments

Mate-White-Underwear-0-15x15I am excited to get to review for everyone the teamm8 Mate Brief in white. I was blown away when I got them. I absolutely loved them as soon as I saw them. They are the low cut briefs in white and they have a draw string waist.

At first I wondered if they were swim trunks, but they are 95% cotton 5% Elastane, ad they don’t have a lined crotch area so I realize they are underwear.

I have always loved underwear with a draw string waist. I don’t know why, they are sexy, comfy, fun and if you eat a lot you can adjust the waist.

I decided the second I saw these that they were going to be for special occasions. I didn’t wear them to work for a day but I would rear them out for a special night.

When I first pulled them on I totally LOVED them. They were comfy and very sexy The cut is perfect and have the right amount of room in the front and the butt. The waist we perfect because you tie them to your liking.

Throughout the night they were perfect. The drawstring waist was comfy, not too tight and not too lose. The leg openings were snug but not so tight that they hurt or were binding.

I am pleased to say I was told how sexy they look on me. I wont go into details but I have worn them once since them and I love them. I wear a size medium and these fit perfectly.

Pros:

  • Soft material
  • Great construction
  • Comfortable, great fit and cut
  • Draw string waist is the best.
  • Very sexy cut and style.

Cons:

  • Nothing, I love these underwear

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 10
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Material – 10
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 10

I recommend you get a pair of the Teamm8 Mate Draw String Briefs for those special occasions or for everyday wear. Teamm8 furnished this pair for review.

Is Nick Jonas the next Marky Mark

No Comments

nick_jonas_03

From the looks of the recent shoot Nick Jonas did for Flaunt Magazine, he was channeling his inner Marky Mark from the 90’s. When I first saw this the first thing that came to mind of seeing the B/W image of Mark in his CK boxer briefs grabbing his junk and smiling. I remember it was a little controversial in the 90’s. Now, this picture got more of the OMG there is no more squeaky clean image.

All too often male stars will never been seen in their underwear. A good thing is that it’s not shocking that he was in his undies but I heard more “OMG Nick Jonas isn’t the squeaky clean boy we knew in the Jonas Brothers” The question is will he be in undies more often? I think a brand should pick him up for a spokes model! Just sayin’! Whats your thoughts on him working for a brand?

Review Wood Underwear Camo Trunks

No Comments

3000T_digitalcamo_front__11739.1409069976.1280.1280I am really excited to be able to review for you readers the Wood Trunk, Digital Camo print. When I first received them I was beyond excited. The pattern is great fun and to add to the charm is a small “W” in a circle randomly placed throughout the pattern. This adds a touch of fun that is always needed with underwear.

Upon getting them I did my visual QC inspection and was very pleased with the material and the construction. The camo pattern was fun and something totally new for me. I love bright colors and patterns with my underwear, but I have never had camo print underwear. The material was soft and stretchy but supportive. The combination of 35% Tencil, 60% cotton and 5% Elastane proved to be the perfect combination.

I always prefer to wear my review underwear to work because I do a lot of moving at work. Sitting, standing, bending, lifting, stretching and climbing stairs. I want to make sure I do a full range of motions to provide an accurate review.

From the moment I put them on in the morning they were amazingly comfortable. The wide waistband was snug and perfect fitting. Not binding or pinching but smooth feeling. The leg openings were perfect. Not too tight and not too lose. The butt was perfect as was the front pouch. Both were really well designed and fit like they were tailor made.

Throughout the entire day I had no issues with them the legs didn’t ride up or bunch. The waistband was smooth and stayed in place. Even during my workout they were ideal.

The Wood Trunks did not overheat or feel sweaty. The cotton breathed nicely. They were truly a pleasure to wear all day.

I have worn them a couple times since my first wearing and I am really pleased with how they hold up after wearing them and laundering them. One small drawback is after several washings the color has started to fade just a little.

Pros:

  • Soft material
  • Fun and stylish print
  • Comfortable for all day wearing
  • Great fit for your butt and crotch
  • Very sexy and stylish underwear

Cons:

  • The print started to fade a little bit

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 10
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Material – 9.5
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 9.92

I totally recommend you guys give the Wood Trunk Camo Print a try. They are a newer brand and they make great underwear. These trunks are in my regular rotations now.

Three Every Day EasySteps to a Healthy Lifestyle

No Comments
tumblr_moyl4t9DOO1r7d7k9o1_500
Drink plenty of water
Drink water throughout the day.  You body need water to function and operate.  There are so many guidelines for recommendations of how much water to have in the day.  I suggest having a glass right away in the morning before you do or eat anything.  Then carry on the rest of you morning routine be it breakfast (which you should be eating anyway).  Take a water bottle with you as much as possible.  You should have a good mouthful of water every 30 minutes or so.  If you every find yourself thirsty you are already dehydrated so don’t ever get to that point.  If you are doing a lot of activity (workout) and causing you to sweat you will need to drink more water to replace.  Remember that drinks like coffee, some teas, alcohol, and pop (drinks with a lot of sugar and or caffeine) do not count to your water intake.  Drinks like natural juices, and coconut water are a good way to mix it up but still water is the best.
Drink a cup of green tea a day
Having a cup of green tea once a day and replace a can of pop or a cup of coffee will help detoxify your body.  There are numerous antioxidants in green tea that help clean the body.  Without changing anything else in your diet or your activity levels this one change will help you body be healthy and thus stronger.  Your organs and body functions will run much smoother and cleaner with green tea daily.  we are exposed to daily toxins in life through the environment, the air we breathe, and food we eat.  Drinking green tea will help out body’s rid those toxins out.
Eat Good Healthy Fats
There are a lot of fats out there and some of them are terrible for you.  But you body does need some fat to function so select good fats and you will benefit your overall health.  Olive oil, Avocodo oil,and coconut oil are great fats to have. For the most part you can substitute them in where any other type of oil or magerin is used. Remember that too much of a good thing is still bad.  Just because these are healthier choices does not mean use twice as much.
Make these small changes in your everyday life and you body will thanks you.  You will have cleaner skin, more energy, and better sleep.  Who does not want that?

Review Cocksox CSX68 Trunk

No Comments

csx68_carbonblack_frontToday’s review is the Cocksox CSX Trunk. I have never tried Cocksox and I was excited to finally try something from them. When I received them I was really excited and couldn’t wait to wear them.

My initial QC review impressed me. The construction was very high quality and I was very impressed with the material used. I don’t thin k I’ve ever tried Supplex but I love this material. The color combination is fun and playful (the pair I got to review was the Azure Blue with white and sea foam trim).

When I pulled them on for my first review day I was very happy with the trunks overall fit and look. I am a sucker for a soft waistband and the CSX waistband was ideal. It was soft and didn’t cause any skin irritation or discomfort.

The leg openings were comfy and not binding or pinching but also did not get saggy. The front pouch was roomy and the butt was comfy without feeling saggy. Two drawbacks to this pair are a seam that runs from the waistband down the center of the butt section, and a seam that runs between the legs openings low on the butt section. A couple times throughout the day I felt it, and that was the only time I even realized I was wearing them.

The material was airy and breathed very nicely and I didn’t overheat or feel sweaty down there. They were a true joy to wear and they stood up to a tough day at work and working out.

These are in my “Special Occasion” drawer, so I don’t wear them as often but save them for those times when only the best will due.

Pros:

  • Amazing material
  • Fun color combination
  • Comfortable, offering great support
  • Great fit for your butt and crotch
  • The Supplex material stands up to repeated washes and wearings.

Cons:

  • The two seams on the butt I mentioned before..

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 9.5
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Material – 10
  • Styling – 9.5
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 9.83

I am going to order more of the CSX from Cocksox. They offer several different cuts and colors and they are a MUST for every mans underwear drawer. Cocksox furnished this pair for review.

A Brief Look Back – Calvin Klein

No Comments

1982-hintnausWhen you ask someone about the evolution of men’s designer underwear, there’s really only one name that should spring to mind as the starting point, the foundation: Calvin Klein. Back before Andrew Christian was a gleam in his parents’ eyes, before people knew how to pronounce 2(x)ist or C-IN2, when AussieBum was just the name for an Australian guy’s butt; Calvin Klein was gracing the cover of Vogue magazine and forging his own empire. In September of 1969, only a year after releasing his first clothing line, Calvin Klein was featured on the cover of the iconic fashion magazine, and even though it would be another ten years before he would venture into the men’s underwear scene, things were about to change.

In today’s world of men’s designer underwear, it’s hard to tell where things got started. There seems to be a new style every week, straps are added and subtracted at will, colors and prints come and go with seasons; but you can trace everything we have to choose from now back to the revolution that happened in the 80s and 90s, and Calvin Klein was at the forefront of that revolution. Up until that point men’s underwear was simply an item of necessity, but the emergence of designer underwear made it sexy. Full-cut briefs gave way to sleeker, more European-inspired styles with high cut legs and less coverage. Boxer briefs became wardrobe staples. Colors and prints became huge selling points. Men’s underwear was no longer something to be kept hidden, and the new styles, prints, and colors were almost daring men to show them off.

Marketing also played a huge role in the emergence of men’s designer underwear, and perhaps the most recognizable marketing campaign was Calvin Klein’s partnership with rapper/model/actor Mark Wahlberg (then, Marky Mark). Many other stars have followed, but Mark Wahlberg’s ads seem to be the ones that have stuck with everyone the most. Calvin Klein had made men’s underwear sexy and appealing, but Mark Wahlberg made it cool. Calvin Klein is no stranger to scandalous, provocative, scantily clad advertisements, and has actually gotten into some trouble over some in the past, but that kind of “in your face” marketing got everyone’s attention. If underwear wasn’t something men were talking about, Mark Wahlberg’s partnership with Calvin Klein got them talking. All of a sudden, men’s underwear was here to stay, and Calvin Klein brought it to us.

In the years that followed, other brands popped up to leave their mark on the underwear industry, but Calvin Klein has always remained a staple. Calvin Klein seems to have always operated under the “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” rule. While other brands are certainly more innovative, more daring, the classic simplicity of Calvin Klein underwear has always persisted, and still holds true today. Calvin Klein underwear has grown from the basic black and white that it started as to include multiple different lines, colors, fabrics, and prints, but their styles have always stayed remarkably consistent. The Steel line has been one of my favorites and has included a great selection of colors over the years; and their Body line should be a staple in any man’s underwear drawer. You’re pretty hard pressed to find a Calvin Klein jockstrap or thong these days, but they existed for a while, and they’re still out there if you know where to find them.

In September of 1969, when Calvin Klein appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine, his brand was a fledgling company, barely past infancy. No one could have known 45 years ago that his company would have made the impact on the underwear scene as it has today. It wasn’t always an easy ride for the Calvin Klein brand, facing economic troubles, failed product lines, and ever-growing market competition; but I think every other designer underwear company out there today owes a great debt of gratitude towards Calvin Klein for not only designing sexy underwear, but for bringing it to everyone’s attention. Would men’s underwear have evolved without Calvin Klein? Probably. But at the same time, we might not be where we are today. I’m pretty pleased with how far underwear has come, and I’m certain that I’ll enjoy the ride as men’s underwear continues to evolve.

Interview Jockstrap Central’s Celebrates 9 Years in Business

No Comments

jsc-nasty-pig-champ-63

We got a chance to ask one of our long time favorites, Jockstrap Central a few questions about the first 9 years of their business. I think this interview shows their personality and why we like them so much!

How did you guys come up with the idea for Jockstrap Central?

Both Adrian and I (John) were both at career crossroads when we met 10 years ago. I was a graphic designer / programmer with an internet marketing background from my previous job and had a huge underwear fetish. Adrian always wanted to open a brick and mortar underwear store. We combined our ideas and chose to focus on the underwear style we loved the most.

Did you think it would last 9 years when you created the site?

I guess starting any new business there’s always a bit of doubt but I felt pretty confident in what we were creating. At the time I ran a community based website for underwear enthusiasts and saw a movement happening. I saw guys that were obsessed with underwear (including myself) being fueled by the Internet and the access we all had to international brands and styles. No longer were we stuck with the boring department store offerings.

What has been the biggest joy in creating Jockstrap Central?

Working side by side with my husband creating something I love with the guy I love (yeah I know, pretty sappy!)

What have been some of the more popular jocks you have sold?

Nine years and countless jockstraps, that’s a pretty tough question. The one obvious one is the Bike #10s (RIP), that’s the one that started it all. In the fashion/fetish category, anything Nasty Pig and Cellblock 13 create as their designs are so edgy and the quality impeccable. Of course, anything mesh and see-through sell well for us. Probably because we’re totally uncensored, but if I had to choose one from that category it would be the Pulse Stretch Mesh Jockstrap (hopefully back in stock soon!)

Since it’s all jockstraps, what is your favorite jockstrap?

My all time favorite jockstrap was the Nasty Pig Knockout Jockstrap in blue white and red. It’s been discontinued, but it really spoke to me on so many levels. It tickled my graphic design sensibilities with it’s retro feel and comic book reference. (I’ve included a photo).

You have always produced your own photography, do you have a favorite model? (Mine is Trent)

Our photography is core to our business. Not only is it a huge part of our image but being an online store, our job is to instill confidence inadam stray customers when purchasing. In a brick and mortar store, customers can touch the goods. As an online store, all we have are our lengthy descriptions and our extensive and highly detailed photography. Sure, manufacturers supply photography but most isn’t great, won’t fit the format of our website, doesn’t show the detail we require and isn’t blatantly sexual or has that dash of irreverent fun that we’re all about.

As for models: There’s not one model that I don’t love (well, ok there was one but we won’t go there). I know a lot of guys have a “type” but I don’t and that’s the reason our models are so varied and based on feedback, our customers and fans appreciate that. But since you’ve asked me to choose, I’ll say that Trent is a favorite as he’s just a dream to work with and he’s so handsome but the one model who I have a (platonic) crush on would have to be Adam Stray. There’s something about him, his look, his personality that drives me crazy plus he’s definitely not shy so if there’s something mesh or something that requires frontal exposure, he’s our go to guy.

What does the future hold for Jockstrap Central?

Although our focus is and always will be jockstraps, we’ll certainly be continuing to branch out into underwear and sportswear as we’ve been doing over the past year.

Express…not just for fitted dress shirts

No Comments

express-undiesOk good, now with that out of the way let me tell you about one of my favorite brands of underwear. Express is known for great fitting dress shirts, and stylish clothing, but something they do well also is underwear. It comes in Sport Trunks, Boxer Briefs, and then online they have briefs.

I started buying their underwear because I liked the colors and patterns on it. For me these aren’t your fancy underwear but a nice pair to just wear on a day to day basis. To me they are a more upscale version of Hanes. I mainly started buying pairs when I would find them on clearance, can’t pass up a pair for $6.

My favorite style Express offers is the Sports trunk. This is a redesign for them from a normal trunk. The sport truck is slightly shorter. The materials are cotton and spandex. The material is extremely comfortable and fits excellent around my bubble butt.

The briefs, when you can find them online in your size, which can be hard to do sometimes are really nice. I enjoy the feel of them against me. The elastic around the legs does an excellent job of holding up throughout the day. It also stretches nicely to accommodate my butt.

So if you get a chance to check out some Express underwear I do recommend it. They just started carrying a Core Performance line for working out. I know I am going to be getting them soon to try them out.

Disclaimer: I am an employee of Express. I am not getting compensated for writing a review about their product…I just like it on my own accord.

Jockstrap Central Brings Back Trent for Nasty Pig

No Comments

jsc-nasty-pig-champ-40I will way in the world of underwear models I have a few favorites. Mostly they are guys I either know or have worked with before. But there is one model I just love and think if we ever did work with him it would be awesome. I’m not sure Jockstrap Central would like that but the model is Trent. He’s been a long time model for Jockstrap Central and does shoots for them every so often. I wish more than every so often but when you do get pics they are awesome. This time he’s put on some muscle mass and is back for more jock pics.

From Jockstrap Central: Our fan favorite model Trent is back with a bulked up body to model our new Nasty Pig Champ range of jockstrap, briefs, long johns and socks. Between Trent’s amazing looks and hot body, the incredibly striking and stylish new gear, we were inspired and I hope I don’t come off as too boastful bit I think this is some of our best photographic work yet.

I hope you enjoy the photo set! (Post contains an affiliate sales link)

Review Marcuse Ultra Brief

No Comments

ultra-brief-whiteEver since I started with UNB, I have put some underwear designers on my wish list to try. This week I was excited to learn that one of my dream pairs from Marcuse had arrived for me to review. The pair was the Ultra Brief in white which I had seen in various advertisement photos. On first look, this is a very sexy pair of briefs. You expect to see a basic white brief but instead are met with lines that ad sophistication and sexy curves to the pair. I was also able to instantly tell how soft the fabric was to the touch. I slid the pair on and the sexiness continued.

Anyone who is a fan of briefs knows that there are many different types ranging from basic and sport, to thicker sides and thinner sides, waist level and low rise. This pair was definitely low rise and smaller as they barely came up to the top of my butt. There are people who may find this uncomfortable or feel as though your underwear needs to be pulled up throughout the day. This was not the case here. I wore them through an entire work day, moving around quite a bit, and did not ever feel as though I needed to pull my underwear up. The back of the briefs fit just around the butt with no extra coverage to bother the wearer. At the top of the back there is a thin strap, similar to what I used to see in dress shirts. I did not see a purpose for this strap nor do I find it very visually appealing. It did not bother the pair or its wear ability.

When it comes to smaller briefs, it can be difficult to gauge the sizing factor. I wear a medium and as I mentioned the pair came to the top of my butt. Since it is a smaller brief, it felt very tight on me all day long. I could feel the tightness under my suit. This did not bother me but it is a notable observation that I feel I should share with my fellow UNB readers. With the smaller briefs, there is usually less fabric and less room. I did find the front pouch to be tighter than I expected. I did not feel as though I had much room which led to slight discomfort throughout the day.

Overall, I am happy that I was able to add Marcuse to my underwear drawer. This is a very hot pair and I love the look of it on. The small concerns I had with the pair could be a result of the way it felt on me today and would not keep me from wearing them again. I nominate this pair for a second wear in a few weeks to see how it feels that day. I have complete confidence that they will be even better the second time around.

 

Pros:

  • Sexy look
  • Soft fabric
  • Low rise fit

Cons:

  • Smaller front pouch
  • Back design

 

Ratings

  • Daily Fit = 8
  • Sizing = 8
  • Construction/Materials = 8.5
  • Styling = 8
  • Daily Performance = 8.5
  • Overall = 8
