Looking for something a little different? Then you need to check out the Pikante Torino Boxer. The pair show in Blue but its also available in black and grey.
Alex is finishing up his last reviews. This time he’s doing a review of the Garçon Model SoBe Trunk! Garçon Model furnished this pair for review.
aussieBum has released a new ranged called Chrome. This year they have really come on strong with a lot of great underwear. The pairs ranged from the expensive to the reasonable. This pair falls in the reasonable range. This new range has a very classic styling and not in wilder colors. Some of the previous ranges had some amazing colors, but sometimes you need something classic.
Here is what aussieBum has to say about the line: “This chic and stylish underwear features a new vertical wide-ribbed fabric for maximum extension and comfort. The vintage cut is sure to fit you like a second skin! Available in four classic colours in both brief and hipster styles. Strong style for strong men!”
The two styles are a hipster and a brief. Each is available in white, black, grey and navy. The material made out of 60% Polyester, 35% Cotton, 5% Elastane has a vertical ribbed design that should be super comfy. Each pair is reasonably priced, the brief is $16.71 and the hipster is 17.61. Which is an amazing price and with free shipping to the US, how can you not get them!
As someone with a lot of underwear it is hard to pick my favorite pair of underwear. My favorite can change as quick as the weather does here in Oregon, and that is very quickly. I have a few pairs that I love and would call favorites but there is one pair I want to wear all the time.
My current favorite pair was actually reviewed by Alex on here. It is the MyPackage Weekday boxer briefs. What makes me love these so much is the fabric. It is made from 95% Modal and 5% spandex. I don’t know if I have ever felt such a comfortable pair of underwear before. They also stretch perfectly over my bubble butt and with all the movements I make during the day.
The color of this pair is really fun too…it is bright orange with a nice sea foam green color on the inside of the waistband. They are bright and just fun to look at…they may be plain looking just like boxer briefs, but I feel the color makes them interesting.
Another part I love is the pouch, even though I don’t need a big pouch. MyPackage includes KeyHole technology that is a nice comfortable pouch to hold your package. The special pouch also helped to keep your “boys” from getting sticky and sweaty during the day.
So if you get a change I highly recommend you check out MyPackage….I also have the Weekend Boxer Briefs and love them as well.
Garçon Model has always done some amazing pics. This time they are sharing these beautiful photos of model Ygor Pignatari shot by brasilian photogrpaher Antonio Bezerra.
Retail businesses have to seek new customers to purchase their products and show their brand on a continuous basis. Underwear companies, like any other business, creatively determine the best advertising methods in order to showcase their product and entice customers to come forward. Think about advertising for food. We can not taste it but we know it looks delicious when we see that picture. Our mouth waters and we increase our want. Underwear is built on our sense of touch. We choose what feels comfortable, what feels good against our skin, as well as for looks and practicality. So when it comes to advertising, how do the companies draw us in without being able to feel each pair?
Advertising is a process and companies know how to make that process work for their clientele. Each model, pair, scene, and pose is chosen specifically with the customer’s sense of sight in mind. The smooth chest, the exotic island, the large package, and the smooth bubble butt are all ways in which these companies increase our want for their brand. Recently brands such as Andrew Christian, Cheap Undies, and more have taken the visual to a new level in video advertising. These short clips create stronger connections between customer and brand, associating multiple models, movement, and sex appeal throughout the brain.
Sex is another big seller among underwear companies. We have always heard the saying “sex sells” and it is true. We are a culture built on desire, want, vanity, and the best. We know what we want and we go for it. The same should be for our underwear choices. We want the pair that makes our body look the best, makes someone want us, makes us feel sexy, and draws attention in all of the right places. This is why so many brands focus on package enhances and bubble butt boosters in order to accentuate what we want to flaunt.
Finally, one of my favorite advertising campaigns that I have seen in some print ads online is when the product, in this case the underwear, is not even on the model! One that comes to mind is this print with Addicted where the model is kneeling down with shadows covering all of the right places and we can not even see the underwear. But as they want, I am addicted to it and want to buy it! Or imagine a male model laying naked in bed, a view of a perfectly toned butt that any man would work hard in the gym for. The pair of briefs lays on the edge of the bed next to him. He is not wearing them but we want to purchase that underwear.
Think back to some of the advertising that you have seen out there. Was there an ad that led you to purchase a specific pair of underwear or start buying from a brand? Do you have a favorite advertising picture that appeals to your sense? Share your experience with us and become your own ad for that brand!
HOM has released some pics of their new collection, this is part of the Temptation range. If you’re not familar with them I would suggest you check them out! They cost more but are amazing!
Today you can get some great underwear for a great price. Every Tuesday Baskit has $12 Tuesday. A certain pair is on sale for just $12 all day. But there are many more pairs on sale on the Specials page. This week’s pair is the Ribbed Brief. It’s available in 8 different colors! So go check this and all the other pairs out!
A new brand contacted us this past week. It’s called 1st Man Underwear. They out of the UK and seem pretty interesting. So we are going to tell you a little about them and give you a discount code to try them out.
“1ST Man is the 1st Collection of Men’s underwear for the Brand behind Louise Ferdinand Lingerie. It is based on the theme of the 1st Man on earth Adam from the Biblical story of ‘Adam and Eve’. The design ethos is classic and simple with combined with a sporty and vintage theme. All of the fabrics and trims are British sourced and are made to high standards by European ateliers. The boxers and briefs made up using UK microfiber and are cut to create ergonomic lines that are amazingly comfortable to wear. Gorgeous everyday underwear for that discerning man….”
They are starting off with a trunk and brief. So they are starting off small and will more than likely build up their collections. Which is good to see a brand going slow to build up a fan base. The underwear is made out of microfiber and is only available in black.
If you’re interested check out the 1st Man Underwear site and use code NEWSBRIEFS10% at check out to get 10% off your order. The code is good until October 16th
There is a debate in the underwear world which is better a thong or a jock? We have guys who fall on both sides of this issue. I think the main argument is that the Jock is considered by some to masculine, where as the Thong is considered to be feminine. I think this is the totally wrong way to look at the issue.
The main question comes down to comfort. As it should with any pair of underwear. Now I hear some of you out there that you don’t want something giving you a wedgie during the day. Speaking from experience you get the right thong and you never notice the string during the day. Get the wrong string and it won’t last more than 5 minutes.
Jocks have been considered a piece of underwear for sporting activities. We have many readers who will wear nothing but a Bike #10 classic jock, where other guys wear anything and like to mix it up with fashion jocks. The pouch sizes on all these differ, which is the most important factor in a jock. It has to hold you and give you amazing support.
So this brings me back to the question Jock Vs. Thong? After six years of doing the blog I have found you are either one or the other. Meaning one is your favorite over the other, not that you only wear one of the other. Our very own Kyle loves both jocks and thongs. But if you have someone give you two pairs of underwear a thong and a jock, which would you wear first? The next question is if you are a thong or jock guy would you try the other pair?
We are curious as to what you guys think. Leave a comment here or let us know through Twitter or email. Also share your favorite Jock or Thong!
It’s been a while since we ran any Narciso. They are an underwear company out of Argentina. This is a shot from their new collection. We hope you enjoy it.
Hello UNB readers. I hope everyone is wearing comfy undies that they love. I am excited that fall is just around the corner. For me, fall is great because the cool nights are on their way.
I am a lover of running pants, leggings, long johns or what ever name you prefer to call them. I find that wearing them on a chilly evening while watching the tv is cozy and in an odd way, very sexy. The compression of the material and the feel is relaxing and almost hypnotic. I am hoping this fall I will have that someone special I can introduce them to and cuddle with.
Another of my favorite fall activities is to go out for a hot chocolate and hit some of my favorite book stores and enjoy the crisp night air. Of course nder my jeans I am wearing a pair of long johns. The warmth of them along with me knowing what sexy surprise im wearing under my jeans makes for a fun outing.
I often wonder if any of the other guys are also wearing long johns and if so do they love them as much as I do. I have noticed this year more companies are coming out with great long johns that are sexy and stylish.
Do any of you feel the same way about long johns? What are some of your favorite brands? Colors? Material? Tell us about it. We are all friends here and want to share and get our readers involved.

I 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:
Ratings:
- Daily fit – 10
- Sizing – 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.
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?
I was super excited for getting to work with Justin Case. They are such an amazing company. We hope to see many good things from them this year. But they have a new face for the year. When I talked to Mr. Justin AKA Ryan the owner, he said they get a new model every year! Here is the new face for the year.

I 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.

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?

Today’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

When 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.
