I got the opportunity to talk to C-IN2 last week. They said there was a new video releasing this week! This is a video shot in the Mediterranean by Rick Day. It features the new swimwear from C-IN2
We have reviewed a few pairs of the Spot collection. Male Basics created a new series of pictures featuring the line. We hope you enjoy the pic and will give them a try!
You know we don’t give thongs as much love as we should on here. That is because they really aren’t my go to pair, its not that I don’t like them, but just not everyday wear. I usually wear them for special occasion (such as a date, anniversary or such) or if I want something different that day. We have Kyle who LOVES them and we’re going to get him on it to profile whats new and best in thongs.
Timoteo is known for their great undies but you don’t think of thongs form them. Yes, you think of briefs, jock briefs, jocks and more fetishwear but thongs are not top of mind. That doesn’t mean they aren’t good at making them! One of the most recent lines they have created was the Proton line.
The Proton line was released this past Spring. The first thing that struck me was the really bright fun waistband. I am a waistband guy. I love them and love seeing new things. I hate when companies use the same waistband for everything. Timoteo is known for doing really great and fun waistband. This one I couldn’t keep my eyes off them. They have the Timoteo Sport in bright florescent lettering with same lines around the waist. Super fun.
The pair is made out of a 54% Rayon 40% Polyester and 6% Spandex blend . So it will be body hugging and fit you very well. The pouch as you can see should be able to hold the most endowed guy and hopefully be comfy all day.
If you want to see this and more go to the Timoteo site. The Proton Glow Booty Thong retails for $22.00
As a collector of underwear my “favorite” pair changes almost as often as I actually change underwear. But I have a new fave that’s held the top spot for a couple months now and I want to tell you about them.
My current favorite underwear is the 2Xist Speed no show brief. Now I like all cuts and styles of underwear, but the Speed are really unique. The nylon spandex combination stretches and gives in all the right places yet still offers support where it’s needed.
The feel of the material is soft and sensual but stands up after repeated wearing and washings. They have a nice shimmer to them, which makes them stand out when I’m wearing them.
The colors are bright and vivid. They don’t fade after several washings. They look as red now as when I first got them. The red is my favorite color, but the black and two shades of blue (light and darker) are awesome too. I even have a pair of the white and I am not a big fan of white underwear.
They have a nice wide waist band with colorful, contrasting logo and stripes. One of my favorite parts of the design of the brief is the seams just above the leg holes that are contrasting stitching with a tasteful embroidery look.
If you’re a briefs kind of guy they are a must have for your collection, and if you don’t wear briefs often these might be the pair to change your mind.
You can find these at many of the big retailers as well as the web. www.2xist.com has them and they also have trunks and jock straps. Give them a try, I bet you will love them.
Happy collecting and give these a try.
My name is Chris, and I’m a 37 year old gay male living in the midwest. I have had a love for mens underwear for as long as I can remember. I still remember the excitement I felt when I pulled on that very first pair of non-tighty whities. Now, my collection has grown to over 450 pairs, including all colors and styles – briefs, bikinis, trunks, jockstraps, jock briefs, thongs, and even speedos.I don’t expect anyone to love underwear like I do, but I do think every man — of every age — should pay more attention to their underwear choices. The newest underwear fashions aren’t only for guys in their teens and 20’s. Men in their 30’s (like me) and beyond can and should enjoy the comfort and sensuality of wearing underwear that fit well and are designed to show off their assets. We all strive to look good on the outside. I think underwear is just an extension of that. For me, underwear helps drive my mood: sometimes, it’s playful and sexy; other times, it’s confidence.
Let’s not forget that underwear performs a much needed function; but a man’s underwear choices should not merely satisfy that simple function. Underwear can make us more attractive in several ways. They can improve our self-confidence — making us feel better about ourselves, which in turns makes us more attractive to others. A pair of underwear that fits well and flatters a man’s body also makes him more attractive, to those lucky enough to get to see them. Underwear can also help shape and support a man’s anatomy making it more appealing, even through outer layers of clothing.
In short, all men, regardless of their age, should invest in underwear that makes them feel comfortable and sexy, rather than just covering their junk under their jeans.
Every guy needs some basics in his underwear drawer. You know the classic white or black brief. I think it’s a staple for any guy. This week the Urban Basics Brief is the $12 Tuesday pair. The pair only comes in white and black. The price is so good you can get one of each. Also while you’re on the specials page check out the other pairs on sale. Go to the Baskit site and go under specials!
Today’s review is the Male Basics Sport Boxer. As always when I received them I couldn’t wait the open them and see them. The first thing I noticed was the great design of the sports brief. I have never had mesh type underwear and was excited to try them.
As always I wore them on a busy work day. I prefer to try them on busy days when I know I will be moving a lot so I can get the best results for my review. I am a true size medium, but I found these to run a little small. They were snug in the waist and tight around the leg holes. I do have somewhat muscular legs and even taking that into consideration they tended to bind and pinch my legs throughout the day. I tried to gently stretch them but with not much luck.
I was hoping the mesh type material would be cool and airy, but I found them to be a bit on the hot side. Like I said I’ve never tried mesh type underwear and maybe this is the norm. The material is very sturdy and of good quality. I always go for high quality underwear and Male Basics defiantly makes high quality
The design and construction were superb, and they look very sexy, both on an off. I was impressed with how well they were made. Much better than I thought they would be. I thought with the mesh type fabric the construction wouldn’t be very good but I could tell these are made to last.
I tried them two more times but not at work One time was dinner with friends and one day was out running errands, and as fun and sexy as they are they just didn’t fit the way I was hoping. I am thinking of getting a pair in large and see how they do.
If you like sport boxers, mesh type underwear or something fun, sexy and different these are a must have for your collection.
Pros:
- Great material
- Fun design
- Stands up after washing and wearing several times
- Great construction/ quality underwear
Cons:
- A little on the snug side
- During strenuous activity it got warm down there.
Ratings:
- Daily fit – 8

I suggest you try them if you like mesh fun underwear, and you will definitely get a quality underwear. Male Basics furnished this pair for review.
Are you a fan of trunks and jocks? If you are the new Coolflex Arrow Jock is for you! Andrew Christian is always taking underwear we know and turning it into something new and fun. This pair has the cut of a Trunk but with the sides and back cut out (as you can see with the picture).
You maybe asking, the pouch is only attached in one place, what makes it so you won’t fall out? The answer to that question is it features the Show-it Tech. So you will be held in place through out the day. Which is a good thing, because we don’t want underwear that we fall out of it.
Some things you guys should know about this pair are: The pair is a limited edition pair so once its gone its gone and won’t be made again. Next, it’s made out of a modal fabric. Modal is one of my favorite fabrics. It feel so amazing against the skin. Last its just super fun. The hybrid underwear is big right now in the world of men’s underwear. Designers are always taking two styles and meshing them together to see what they can come up with! Its really cool to see the designs.
If you want to get this pair go to the Andrew Christian website, it retails for $24.93. Post contains an affiliate sales link
Blue Collar Underwear is one of my new favorite underwear company. The fit is really great and I enjoyed the reviews I did this past month. I love the jocks and hope I get to try one very soon! This is the Black/Red Sports Jock Strap.

Fetishwear is HUGE this year. It’s becoming more widely accepted by the masses. We are allowing ourselves to be more creative in our underwear for reg and fun times with our partner. Go Softwear has released the Hard Core line. I first saw this line in Magic. It was great seeing them there after a year or so! I got a quick overview of the lines and this one jumped out at me. Its a mix of fetish and leather and mixed with red, blue and yellow accents.
Here is what Go Softwear says about the line:
Introducing the HARD CORE Collection by GO SOFTWEAR where fetish attire meets fashion! This assemblage is designed with a bit of an edge by incorporating both pleather (faux leather) and athletic mesh in colors and bodies that allow individuals to express a provocative, daring and mischievous side! Whatever your choice we want you to look great in one of our HARD CORE creations.
The entire collection consists: Bikini Brief, Jockstrap, Jock Brief, Backless sq-cut, Zip Front Tee, Freedom Cup, Quilted Jockstrap, Zip Front Tee, Vulcan singlet and our popular and best seller Dungeon short.
I think this line is perfect for those wanting leather but not the leather price. The price ranges are from $30-40 in a great price range! So head over to Go Softwear to see the entire line.
Male Power doesn’t always make super sexy underwear. They have been known to make some great underwear you could wear to the gym. The Bamboo line is one that comes to mind that did very well for them. The newest line is the Rayon Swag line. It gives you the feel of silk without the price of silk!
Here is the write up from Male Power:
Men who like the look and feel of silk, but not the cost, will really enjoy the Rayon Swag collection from Male Power.
Rayon, nylon and spandex combine to create highly attractive undergarments that are sensationally soft and stretchable. The fabric, in either black or taupe, contains a subtle texture and a hint of sheen. Rayon Swag comes in five classic styles, including racer back tank top, mini short, wonder bikini, wonder thong and posing strap.
The classically styled wonder bikini and thong offer full, round uplift pouches. The mini short pairs perfectly with the tank top. None of the garments contain any exposed elastic.

There is a new store on the market and it’s from an underwear blogger. So we had to interview him and talk about his journey form blogger to retailer. Also find out what his store is all about!
So what made you start an underwear store after being an underwear blogger?
Ever since I was a young boy I’ve always known I’ve had a passion for men’s underwear. Underwear to me is so attractive. I founded UndieFan.com when I was 18 and it’s been a passion of mine ever since. Blogging for so long made me realize that I love independent underwear brands. It also helped me learn that my favorite style is the jockstrap. I founded HisJock.com to help me express my passion for underwear, jockstraps, independent brands, customer service and retail. I get so excited when I receive an order that I drop whatever I’m doing to pack that order, and ship it out. As a customer for so long I know how excited I am to get my undies in the mail.
Tell us about your store? What brands do you currently carry?
His Jock focuses mostly on independent brands and jockstraps. If you love a good jock then you have to check out our brands. We currently carry 2EROS, Cell Block 13, Colt, N2N Bodywear, Papi, Pistol Pete, Supawear, Timoteo, and Todd Sanfield. We also plan on adding more very shortly.
What sets you apart from other retailers on the market?
Any customer can contact me direct. I’m willing to help any customer at anytime, personally. Like I said above I drop whatever I do to get a new order out. I love talking to customers about underwear and helping them with their needs. Also I’m open to hearing about new brands we should pick up based off what customers want!
Who are your current favorite underwear companies?
Currently I’m obsessed with the new Todd Sanfield Collection. I love the colors they used and each style has a great fit. Not to mention that the fabric is uber soft. I’m also very obsessed with anything that PUMP! comes out with. Hopefully we will pick them up at our store sometime soon.
I’d love to offer all your readers Free shipping with the discount code “UNB”. Only applies to U.S. orders at His Jock.
Looking for new fetish wear? Then you need to check out the new Cellblock13 Stryker pant and harness. The pants have cut outs, and if I recall correctly from Magic each has cut outs on the pants. Its an amazing process they do! Timoteo’s Cellblock13 is becoming one of the must have fetishwear brands.
Our Brief Distraction today goes along our over 30 post last week. This is Rob Richards. He emailed us last week saying he’s a model at the age of 58, Yes we just said age of 58! So see you can wear swim briefs over the age of 30!
I’m so glad Gavin Harrison has started sharing pictures with us! He’s done some great work and we are happy to share this with you, the Restless Night series.

We are bringing you a new fitness column. We have had them off and on the last few years but have a great guy now wanting to share his info with you. The first column is about a 30 Day Squat Challenge:
Spring is here and summer is upon us. It is that time we start wearing shorts and swim briefs (especially if you are take the swim briefs challenge). Get way to get your legs in shape for the summer and you need to start now. Weather you are new to fitness or a fitness buff this challenge (and squats in general) is good for all! Don’t care who you are everyone likes and wants a nice firm shapely bubble but.
The squat is one, if not, the best exercise you can do for your body. It works the whole body not just your legs. It activates the back to stay tall in the movement lots of core stability to move and a whole lot of legs get shaped up and stronger.
How to do this challenge:
The number of squats as your progress maybe a little daunting but do not worry. You have all day to do them. You can do 20 – 25 at a time though out the day. Another nice thing is you don’t need to go to the gym to do this. You can do your squats anyway you can stand up, at home, on an elevator between floors, at the beach, etc.
- Anchor you heals into the ground in an athletic stance with the feet slightly turned out (athletic stance has some variation depending on your hip flexibility and mobility. Good rule is anywhere from hip width to a toe heal wider on both legs).
- Keep your torso as tall as possible (chest lifted) through out the movement. Shoulder blade pulled together and core engagement and working
- Press your hips back (hip hinge) to start the movement (as if you were sitting in a chair behind you). This is how you will squat down by pressing your hips back. Do not start the movement from you knees. You should work to keep your torso and shines as vertical as you can throughout the movement.
- Squat depth varies from person to person. In the perfect world ass to ankles. Each person’s hip and ankle flexibility will dictate how long then can go. Aim for a depth between your thigh bone being parallel and ass to ankle is get.
Things to think about (it’s a lot but you have 30 day to work on it)
- focus on the muscle you are using. Keep everything strong and engaged
- don’t rush through the movement
- breath! inhale on the down phase exhale on the effort or push phase
- on the up phase think of pulling the floor or ground apart as you stand
- squeeze your glutes (butt) at the top to finish
- arms either straight out from your shoulders parallel to the ground or hands on your hips for balance.

I guess I had better preface this review by saying it’s been a while since I’ve been able to write about mens underwear for UNB. It’s been even longer since I have had any new underwear to review, and in many ways I am starting fresh. There has been a lot going on in my life that has kept me away from the underwear industry and worse, writing about underwear. But after a long time on the sidelines and a bit more stability in my life, I am finally ready to get back into the swing of things here on UNB.
I figured the easiest way to blog about underwear is to actually give myself a specific pair to write about, so I hit up the Memorial Day Sale that just wrapped up at Freshpair.com and came away with a pair of underwear I’ve had my eye on for months. I am talking about the Doreanse “Warrior Thong,” which is still available at Freshpair.com and a few other online retailers. A few things attracted me to this thong from the get-go. First, I had heard good things about the brand, specifically that their thongs are worth a try, but secondly and far more prominently I was really drawn in by the look. The cut was masculine without looking too much like some thongs that can be easily mistaken for a jockstrap.
While I wouldn’t call myself thong-obsessed (I prefer briefs 8 times out of 10 for daily wear), I do like the support thongs offer (when they fit right) and if I can find those thongs and g-strings that add just the right amount of flair without being too flashy I will usually pull the credit card out for them. I work a desk job that happens to require me to move around quite a bit, so this thong got a very full day’s worth of work in. I probably got up from my desk 15-20 times today, including a trip to the car wash and Chipotle (yum) for lunch, the only thing I did not do today was work out as I am getting over a brief cold. Needless to say, this thong went through a tough day’s worth of activity and performed flawlessly. I never once had to go to the bathroom to “re-adjust” or never once felt any discomfort with this thong. Most thong-guys would tell you that the best thongs are the ones you can wear all day and forget that you’re wearing underwear at all, and the Warrior Thong fits firmly in that category.
Once you pull this thong on, the first thing you’ll notice is the quality, but that wasn’t the case when I was pulling it out of the packaging. Attached to the pouch and the back “string/thong” material is about an inch worth of ribbed cotton (think “wife beater” tank top) which aside from the stitching that holds it to the waistband has little structure. I was worried that this would roll up and get uncomfortable, but if you get the right size, and get this thong on the correct way, it won’t move. Somewhat ironically, I figured out that these strips of ribbed cotton I was worried about may actually be what may have kept me from passing on this thong altogether. Why? Well if you were to take it away, you would be left with just another run-of-the-mill thong that looks like a jock (think CK Body Thong), which is a style I tend to stay away from.
Aside from the masculine, “Warrior” look this thong gives its wearer, there cannot be enough said about the thong’s most redeeming quality. Its comfort. Holy smokes this thing is comfortable! I attribute the comfort to two things: 1.) The bulk of the thong is made of a 45/45 modal/cotton blend, which for my 200-some pair collection is the most comfortable fabric blend out there. 2.) Getting the right size, which is crucial to every thong’s success on a guy. I am in the process of losing weight, but even when I am at my best, attainable weight I am still in a size 36 pant (I’m currently 6’4″ 240 with an athletic build). I bought this thong in XL which fits a 37-38″ waist, according to the Doreanse size chart. Some of the online reviews on Freshpair.com said this runs small, which is why I decided to go to the size bigger than my pant size. I was initially nervous that it would be too big, because athletically cut thongs tend to run big, but the XL fits wonderfully on me and since I am somewhat well endowed, even if the L fit my waist, the pouch would be too cramped. So when you go get this thong, make sure you order one size up from your pant size and you’ll still get the support you require.
I say when because there is no reason for you not to buy this thong. I am so confident that you will love this thong that I would say that it’s the perfect thong for the guy who’s been kicking around the idea of buying his first one. Or, if you’re more of an Aficianado of the style like me, you can’t go wrong with this pair and the diversity the Warrior Thong’s style will bring your thong collection. I say when because even when it isn’t on sale it’s only $15 at Freshpair.com and right now it is on sale for $11.25!!! though, it is backordered. All that means is that you’ll have to wait an extra week or two to get it delivered, and that this review is spot-on!
Like the underwear industry and UNB, I could not stay away from this thong – and boy am I glad I finally got it and I am even more happy that I could share this review of it as my first post back here at UNB.
Pros:
- Out-of-this-world comfort, coming from the modal/cotton blend
- Masculine, but fashion conscious look
- You could wear this thong 24/7
Cons:
- Only 3 color combinations available, just two on freshpair.com
- That I can’t say enough good things about this thong…

TOTALLY EXPOSED WITH THE ALL NEW PISTOL PETE XPOSE JOCKS AT JOCKSTRAP CENTRAL
Be prepared this summer, with your own personal air conditioning – in the form of these new wide mesh jockstraps from Pistol Pete that just hit the shelves of Jockstrap Central. Just like their best selling singlets, the Xpose Jockstraps feature a sexy and very revealing wide mesh pouch – unlike Justin Bieber and Rob Ford, sometimes being over exposed is a good thing. Here’s the details:
The pouches on these jocks are constructed of Pistol Pete’s signature wide mesh fabric and includes a center seam and outer piping for structure and support. It’s fairly generous with a bit of stretch to accommodate most guys. Our model Josh is pretty well endowed (as you can see from our photos) with both large balls and shaft and he just loved wearing the Xpose Jocks.
Although the pouch is the real star, the waistband is pretty spectacular too: It’s sturdy, plushed for comfort and 1 1/4 inches wide with the highly stylized Pistol Pete “P” logo up front and center which compliments the almost Aztec motif running throughout the rest of the waistband. Finally, two masculine 1 1/8 inch leg straps complete this jockstrap.
The Xpose jocks are available in four flavors – black, blue, red or white. Be sure to check out Jockstrap Central’s website for their countless and always uncensored photos.
Also, if you act quickly (before Sunday, June 8th) Jockstrap Central is offering free USA shipping or discounted world shipping on all orders of $20 or more. Just buy one of the new Xpose Jocks or any one of most of their fashion or fetish jocks and you’ll get the free or discounted shipping. Get Shopping
