Are you a fan of the aussieBum Wonder Jock line? If you’re not familar the Wonder Jock (WJ) line, it did to men’s underwear what the Wonder Bra did for women’s undies. The WJ takes what you have and enhances it. To do this the it has a pouch to put your goods in and the WJ does the rest! See the pictures below to see how this is made into the brief and hipster.
aussieBum has now created a jock brief and jock boxer brief. Each style has the traditional cuts of the brief and trunk, but the back is cut out. I believe this if one of the first jock briefs they have done. One thing I really love about this collection is the green color. It’s by an far my favorite color and very few undies companies make green underwear. The official names of colors offered are: lagoon Forest, Chocolate, Burgundy and deep purple. Also made with the signature aB logo wasitband.
If you’re interested in these pairs the brief retails for $21 and the trunk/hipster is $24. You can find these and more at the aussieBum website.
Underwear Nation does some AMAZING pictures. This is from the selection from March! It features the Supawear jock. The new selection will be out this shortly. Also, Jerrad the photographer, was the cover of DNA Magazine with a 10 page spread this month!

How does one find out they are an underwear nut? I suppose for me it began when I was probably 14 or 15 years old. I was discovering that I was gay and living in a part of the country where homosexuality was not heard of and definitely not acted upon. So being secluded from all things gay I was left with catalogs and newspapers to satisfy that need to see a guy’s physical form. What began with JcPenny catalogs and weekly flyers from Shopko, quickly grew into an obsession (on Twitter @undieobsession). The next thing I remember entering into my life was pack of Hanes bikini briefs I got from Shopko. Now, I could not get them at my local store, so I had to travel to a neighboring community to purchase them. This had to wait until I had my driver’s license too.
Once I could I drive to places on my own, my ability to seek out different underwear was ON! The first brand I remember truly seeking out was BVD. I saw an advertisement somewhere and the image on the package made me realized I had to have those! So as I began my search for them I knew it was something that would never end with just this pair. Once I acquired the BVDs I knew very quickly they were nothing more than another style similar to Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. What I saw in that package though, ignited something that would carry on to this day.
My hunger for underwear subsided as I enter the straight world of the US Military. I could not be seen wearing what I truly wanted to wear as I was walking around the barracks in boot camp. I feared that if I wore what I wanted I would be outed or judge.
So I strategically started wearing boxers. I know, how straight!? As my military career grew on I became more comfortable again with the idea of wearing boxer briefs and quickly trunks. I exclusively shopped for Calvin Klein (CK) underwear. I was very particular and would only wear CK. I think that image of a young Michael J. Fox in his pink CKs in Back to the Future: Part 1 was to blame for this long lasting obsession with CK. It took several years before I began to venture away from CK.
If I remember correctly the first pair of none CK underwear I purchased was a pair of Tommy Hilfiger boxer briefs. About that same time I also purchased a pair of Tommy Hilfiger briefs for my boyfriend. He pulled them off just as well as the guy on the package. It was so much fun to dress him in underwear I thought were sexy and fun.
I am glad he allowed me the freedom to do it. I have not stopped dressing up my guys in underwear I find sexy or fun. Whenever I buy a pair for myself I usually buy a pair for my boyfriend.
The time has passed and my underwear knowledge and collection has grown. Today I own a total of 290 pairs of underwear. A combination of briefs, trunks, bikinis, and the one odd pair of boxer briefs. I have also started a collection of jockstraps, which now number 67 pair. I will delve deeper into this as we become better friends.
My closet also contains a collection of fun swimsuits. I have 30 of those as this point. Yes, all numbers are exact! This whole obsession would not have been possible had I not start with that package of BVDs. I am thankful everyday for passion I have developed. It has and will continue to be fun. I look forward to seeing all the new styles, designs, color patterns, and whatever else underwear companies can come up with. I also look forward to sharing this love with you all.
While you are enjoying your morning coffee and reading UNB take a few minutes to give us feedback on the site! We want to hear your feedback! It’s very important for us to hear what you guys want so we can make the site better! To do the survey go up to the “Reader Survey” at the top menu. It only takes a few minutes!
Today we bring you a new brand called Charles Owo underwear. They are out of NYC and have a really cool collection. We will have an interview about them soon. Go check them out in the mean time
I got a chance to meet the guys behind Garcon Model, Patrick & Mehdi. Both really amazing guys with a big passion for underwear. They told me a little about the line and now its out! If you remember they did a Kickstarter campaign for the collection. I will be reaching out for more info about the collection and bring you more. Here is the press release we recieved:
Canadian underwear brand Garçon Model returns with a second collection for Spring/Summer 2014 continuing its quest to offer premium men’s underwear with a bold aesthetic.
Garçon Model has quickly positioned itself as one of the most sought-after new male bodywear brands. Its fresh colour palette and instantly recognisable logo demand attention with classic styles that are familiar, and a quality that is superior.
The brand’s popularity was put to good use in December 2013 when it called upon the support of its customers and fans to help raise investment to the sum of $10,000 using crowd-sourcing website Kickstarter.
The campaign saw backers pledging over double the target goal in just over a month of the launch. This money was re-invested into market research, product development and an increased product offering to ensure that the brand continues to strengthen over the coming months.
With much anticipation for the follow-up collection Garçon Model drew inspiration from Miami, playground of the rich and famous, for Spring/Summer 2014.
From the bright lights of Ocean Drive and Art Deco pastels of South Beach to the energy of Downtown Miami, Garçon Model presents an unashamedly vibrant range of 17 colours and styles for the season ahead.
The iron-free microfiber range of form fitting briefs, trunks and boxers all boast the iconic Garçon Model waistband that is guaranteed to add a pop of colour or flash of style to any outfit.
“There is something really celebratory about this collection and we feel that is reflected in the designs. Men’s underwear really needs a refreshing splash of colour and by taking inspiration from Miami we were able to bring a sense of elegance but with a vibrant twist. Our primary goal is to help men look good and feel sexy without compromising comfort.” – Patrick Lafontaine, co-founder of Garçon Model.
All-American male model Tyler Kenyon becomes the face of Garçon Model for SS14 with a series of campaign images and film shot on location in Miami by photographer Daniel Jaems. Sport loving Tyler, who has been shot by some of the world’s top fashion photographers, personifies the masculine, sexy and universal appeal of Garçon Model range.

We all love great undies if reading this blog, that’s a given! But not all of us have an amazing budget to buy underwear. I know you think the life of an underwear blogger is all underwear all the time, but it’s not. Just like you guys, we look for great deals for underwear too. I freely admit I don’t like paying full price.
One way I have found to save money is to buy underwear in three packs. I”m not saying the ones you used to wear and buy at Wal-Mart. I will NEVER go back to those! If I did you guys would have ever right to stop reading the blog. Because I will have gone insane and would loose all credibility.
Three packs are what most companies call basics. Meaning they won’t be the uber stylish newest undies out by the company. They will be their take on the classic brief. Which, I think every guy should own a pair of classic white undies. Its a must have pair in my opinion.
Here are some great suggestions for those wanting good undies at a better price.
2(X)ist Men’s Essential Collection – This is the 2(X)ist classic brief! Which is available in white with a functional fly. I used to LOVE the classic brief from 2(X)st, they were the only classic brief I ever owned. 2(X)ist makes some of the best undies lately. Available for $32 from 2(X)ist
Papi Cotton Low Rise Brief – These briefs from Papi aren’t traditional, meaning they don’t have a fly. But they are super comfy. I have owned quite a few of these over the years. Previous collections were white with different color writing on the waistband, now they are available in different colors/waistbands. They now have 8 different color combos. They are really great quality at an amazing price. Perfect for everyday wear. Available for $24 from Papi Underwear
Calvin Klein Low Rise Brief – CK is prob one the company you think of when you think of classic underwear. They have been around since the 80’s. Their iconic ad back then featured a guy in white briefs against a white stone. It, in my opinion, sparked the men’s underwear market. They now have the briefs in three packs in black, white, grey, and two blues. Available for $27.50 from CK Underwear
These are some suggestions for those wanting classic undies. We will be bringing you more suggestions soon for all kinds of undies!
Last time I posted I got the name wrong. So this time I have the name right. This is more of the MaleBasics Spot collection. This is the jock in Black! Make sure you check out the entire line
PPU makes really fun underwear. Thew new pair 1413 brief is a mesh brief that won’t show it all off. The pouch is a half pouch that hides enough but shows off the rest!
New at Jockstrap Central: Cellblock 13’s Knockout Jockstraps are the perfect combination of sport jock, fetish jock and edgy fashion jock and have to go down as some of CB13’s most comfortable jocks to date. Not only do they feel awesome, they also have the looks – coming in all your favorite fetish forward colors: black and blue, black and red and of course, black and yellow.
With a naturally contoured soft cotton pouch, a hint of spandex for shape expansion and retention plus a liberating four-way stretch, these jocks were designed to fit. The jet black pouch includes a single one and a quarter inch wide contrasting color racing stripe running vertically through the center of the pouch which along with the matching piping not only looks good but perfectly highlights what you’re packing.
The 2 inch wide plushed waistband is totally masculine with the edgy CellBlock 13 logo and stylish with the multicolored horizontal racing stripes all woven right into the band. Finally, high quality one inch nylon and rubber elastic leg straps finish it all off.
In case you don’t know, Cellblock 13 is made by Timoteo so you just know that these great looking jocks are built to last. Be sure to head over to Jockstrap Central to see their dreamy boy-next-door model Spence in all the new jockstraps.”

I know we have plenty of fans of skimpy undies. No matter if you’re gay or straight we have heard each side loves something smaller. The new PPU line has the 1417 Jockstrap. Which is a new take on the classic jock!
The first thing you notice is the pouch. It’s way smaller and has two straps attaching it to the waistband. Which makes it even smaller! This pair is not for the guy who’s not willing to show it all off! Second, is the waistband. It’s available in two colors the Gold/Black and Pink/Grey. Both make a bold statement.
The back is the same as regular jocks but that’s the only thing that is like the original inspiration pair. It makes me wonder were would you wear this pair? I would say you probably wouldn’t wear it to the gym. We would suggest a date night or even a fun night out.
These have just been released and will be in stores soon. What do you think of the new jock from PPU?
Fetishwear has a broad definition. For our poll we define it with underwear such as Cellblock13, Gregg Homme (the wilder stuff) like the Cowboy collection, Mesh (like Clever trunk). It’s the stuff you may not wear to the doctor! It’s underwear that is fun and can express a part of you that you may hide in regular life.
So do you wear fetish wear underwear? Let us know!
I”m still bummed I didn’t get to meet with C-IN2 in Vegas. I really enjoy seeing whats coming from them over the next year. But we received these pics form them. They were shot by Rick Day and feature the Culture Club collection. I told you guys that prints would be making a big splash on the men’s underwear market. These are bright and fun and have a great waistband.
I personally love this line. It’s not my typical every day wear, but I think we all need to step outside our box and have some fun. Here is what C-IN2 told us:
C-IN2 is now Pop Culture Art inspired with a new printed underwear collection called Culture Club. Why’s this different? Each art print is placed on a specific location on the underwear. We call this engineered printing which is different from printing fabric and letting the pattern fall wherever it may. This means we have to print each underwear pattern piece by piece. The fabric is made of 90% (super-soft) Tencel with 10% Spandex. The waistband is microfiber with high gloss printed logos. C-IN2 is so excited about this collection, we’re calling it a 2014 Event.
