We take you back to the first anniversary of UNB. This picture features ES Collection, which featured a mountain scene of guys snow skiing and snowboarding. This shoot is still iconic today.
Underwear shopping is one of life’s joys. I love to go to a store, look around, and see what’s out there and how it feels. I remember going to the department stores and sorting through all the CK and 2(X)ist’s in my 20s and the first time I saw a y-back thong in a mainstream store I about jumped for joy. However, not many guys out there have access to an underwear store. There was a second-best thing back in the day, the discount stores such as Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshall’s.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, you could find serious deals and amazing undies at these stores. There were bikinis, thongs, and briefs galore. You could always dig through the pairs and find a jewel in the mix. I remember walking out of those stores so happy to find a pair of underwear. I could never afford being a student but snagged for $5.
After the mid-2000s, the underwear started to dry up. I don’t know if this was the rise of the boxer/boxer briefs or if the buyer didn’t see a market for the sexier side of undies. The underwear went super boring for anyone who reads this blog. It was all white briefs (sorry, white fans), boxer briefs (including trunks), and boxers. It’s rare I even go through the underwear section at these stores, but occasionally I’ll glance and leave let down.
There was one exception to this, and that was Century 21 in NYC. I went with an ex and spent probably 30 minutes in the underwear section. They had so many brands and styles. This was discount underwear heaven. I grabbed about $200 worth of underwear (which I couldn’t afford) and pared it down to the brands I didn’t have at home. I returned all the 2(X)IST, CK, and others. The sad thing is that they closed a few years ago.
Hope is not lost because I have seen guys posting some good things at these stores in the last month. One person posted a five-pack of Nike jocks. And another posted about some CK briefs. I still need to get my hopes up, but I want them to return to the old ways, offer different types of underwear, and let guys experience underwear they may not usually buy.
Have you guys tried Xtremen? If not, it’s a brand that has transformed it self and now created super sexy and fun undies. They have some great bikinis, jockbriefs, and thongs. Plus, they have recently been adding new colors that make the undies pop.
Today is the last day of our 20% off sale on Candyman and Clever & Bitewear. Shop the UNB Store till midnight and get 20% off all these collections. Shop the new bodysuit, many thongs and amazing fun styles in this new collection.
What is better than a good pair of underwear? one with the perfect fabric? BiteWear combines both style and outstanding materials to give you comfort and style. Classic styles are elaborated in soft and airy fabrics so you can wear them daily and on every occasion.
Shop Bitewear now on the UNB Store.
GX3 is a brand known for it’s skimpy gear. However they do make something a little longer. I love super tight boxer briefs like this that have a pouch.

WOW, today marks the 15th anniversary of UNB. It seems just like yesterday. I started this little blog. It has grown into something much bigger than I ever would have dreamt. My six-month project became a significant part of my life, opening me to new friendships and business opportunities.
I started the blog as a way for me to share my love of underwear; it grew and grew. I’m still amazed it became one of the big underwear blogs on the net. Even today, I keep thinking only a few friends read what I write on the blog. I have pulled back from posting as much just due to my own bandwidth. I went from a staff at the greatest of 9 guys to just me. The world of blogs changed, and most guys went to social media. Many of you still read us, but I thought of the future. That future was the podcast and the store.
The podcast has already surpassed my wildest dreams. It’s become the heart of the blog. You get to hear real guys talk about their love of underwear, the insecurities they have, and the journeys that made them the men they are today. I have to thank Erik and Andy for all their hard work and for being two amazing friends. They are the OGs and will always be a part of the podcast cause they are two of my favorite people in the world. Without them, I never would have kept doing the podcast before it took off. Now I get messages, “When are we getting a new episode?” Which I love getting. It lets me know I’m doing something good in the community. I have so much planned for the podcast; stay tuned! BTW you can join our Patreon as a follower to be part of the community; go to www.patreon.com/unbblog and hit follow. I plan on doing a lot over there since they are doing things for content creators.
Since the last Anniversary, I launched the UNB Store. I said I would never do a store, but life changes, and you do what you have to do. I enjoy doing it and offering some amazing undies, and I plan on growing the store this year to more brands. I get questions about why I started the store. The main reason is that to continue doing UNB, I needed a new source of Income to fund the site. Advertising is going down on blogs, and I knew I would end up with few advertisers over this decade. And so far, that has been the case. I made enough money to pay all the expenses, go to Vegas 2x a year, and do other things. But now, I’m just paying expenses and not much more, and in the next year, I think advertising revenue will go below that level. Just this month, we had another end, and it’s a business decision for them, and I give no ill will towards anyone for that. If you aren’t getting the traffic you used to, then it’s time to try something new. The store allows me more flexibility and a chance of income that the blog would never give me. It’s a win-win
Where will the next anniversary lead me? The 20th? I have no clue, but I don’t plan on stopping UNB. I’m going to go with the flow. Media and social media will change, and we will change with the times. I am excited to see what the next five years will be like.
Love you guys!!!
