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.

Paul Ferrer has done some amazing photography. This makes me ask the question would you sky dive in just your undies? Or for that matter sky dive at all?
Today is the day to get great undies. Maybe you didn’t have any green undies for St. Patrick’s Day? if not get some for next year. This week’s $12 Tuesday pair is the Light Trunk. Grab these and there are some great deals for $8 as well on the specials page! Go to the Baskit site for this and all the deals.
As a gay man, I have loved underwear as far back as I could remember. As a child of the 80’s, before the internet, the only sexual outlet I had was the J.C. Penny’s catalog, turning to the underwear section. I would stare at the pictures for hours and always looked forward to the new catalog coming out.
Growing up, I was stuck wearing the cheapest tightie whities my mother could find. I hated them lol. I drempt of the day I could wear something colorful, sexy and fun. To this day, Droopy tightie whities are a boner killer for me.
I remember the very first pair I purchased. The drug store in town had mens bikini briefs on sale. I had the money and for a several day I would go in and look at them. When I looked at them my heart raced, because to me, it was like buying a porn movie. (I was 8 or 9 at the time). Finally I worked up the nerve to purchase a pair. I selected a grey pair. I was flushed and my heart was pounding. Looking back at it, I really had no reason to be scared, but I was. I snuck them home and couldn’t wait to put them on.
I remember putting them on and was looking at myself in the mirror, admiring them on me, and how “brave” I was. Just then there was a knock on the bathroom door, I was being told we were going out for dinner. I immidiatly put my pants on and raced out for dinner. The entire evening all I could think of was the sexy grey bikini briefs I was wearing.
After that, I started my first “collection”. I would buy any underwear I could find, that were not tightie whities. Colored briefs, bikinis and boxers. I hid my collection in an old car my father had, thinking it would never be found. My “collection” was maybe 25 pair and I loved them.
One day I came home and found that my father had sold the old junker, and worse yet, found my “collection”. He was mad and I was scared. All my brothers and I got yelled at about the underwear he found and the box with my treasures disappeared.
As time went on, and I got my own place and started to buy my own underwear, there were no cheap tightie whities to be found.
Now, my collection numbers more than 200 pair of underwear. I have every type made now. Depending on my mood depends on what I wear. Some days boxers are the right choice. Sometimes briefs and even thongs and jocks.
My new “collection” takes up three drawers in my dresser. I also love swimwear and lycra/spandex gear. Tight running pants, leggings, compression shorts and wrestling singlet’s are a separate part of my “collection”.
Over the past 25 years, I have purchased at least 1000 pair of underwear. A lot for me, but also as gifts for boyfriends and friends. I have tried countless brands, styles and cuts and I’m always looking to try new brands and styles.
Most of my friends ask me for advice when it comes to buying underwear, and I am always willing to take them underwear shopping. It’s kind of scary that there are gay men out there who don’t put much thought in the MOST important piece of clothing a man wears.
The single most attractive thing about a man, in my opinion, is seeing a man in his underwear. It never gets old to me. When I am out and about and see a hot guy, my first thought is “what underwear is he wearing”. I always look for a hint of his choice for the day. A brief line along his butt, a boxer line on his leg, Or a hint of the waist band if he bends over.
I am glad you asked for people who follow and enjoy your website to say why they love your website, underwear and how it all started. Even if I am not part of your focus group, I just want to say thank you for having the best blog on the web.
I look forward to your future posts.
After this week I need a vacation to the mountains to hang in my undies for a weekend! Mundo Unico Store furnished this pic and it’s one of my favorite colors! We’ll bring you more about them shortly! Oh, also Happy St. Patrick’s Day too!
While I love underwear, I still have much to learn and many new styles to try. If I was to be ranked based upon school year, I would probably be somewhere between a sophomore and junior. I wear premium underwear brands such as 2xist and C-IN2 and I stay away from mass produced ill fitting skivvies. On the scale of all straight guys, I fall in the upper quartile of quality of underwear worn, but to an underwear lover such as myself, this is not enough. I need to try new things and new styles for which I have yet to try. Thongs, jocks, and jock briefs have all never been worn by me and this is something I really want to change sooner rather than later.
Paul here! I’m a bit of a creature of habit when it comes to my pairs. Calvin Klien, Go Softwear and Ralph Lauren have held my business for many years, but I’ve admired many other brands from afar for a long time. I have a ton of briefs, some jock briefs and trunks but that isn’t even the tip of the iceberg! Being new the UNB family means that it’s time to push myself, and make the jump to something new and exciting; and I couldn’t think of a better way to do it! UNBJon has been great with welcoming me to the team, and his knowledge of what’s out there is extremely impressive.
So here’s the deal: UNBPaul and UNBJon have agreed to let each pick a random pair of underwear that the other is unfamiliar for them to try. There was no guidance in this decision and the other must buy the chosen pair and try it in good faith. It’s the ultimate experiment and you are all witnesses to it. Within the next week both guys will have a synopsis of their experiences to share with you all. Until then, pass the time by trying to guess the exact pair each guy will be receiving and feel free to continue the conversation on twitter @UNBBlog, @UNBPaul, @UNBJon, or on Facebook as well.
HI guys, First off let me say this has been in the works for over 4 months. Most of those four months it was very hush hush and only a few knew we are doing this. It took me a month to pick a new theme followed by installing it on a test site and then customizing it so it will fit our needs.
I picked one theme but came to realize that it would not suit our needs so I had to go back to the drawing board and pick a new one. Hence this design. I wanted a magazine feel, I will be the first to admit I am old school when it came to blogging and wanted a blog that felt, like a blog. But, as time moves on we must change too! After looking at blogs out there, not just underwear blogs but other fashion blogs I realized we were WAY behind the times.
I was in Vegas and I showed most brands the new site. They loved it, and I hope you do too! There are some changes:
- The menu is easier to find – the old site it was hard to find, now it’s front and center
- Menu Organization – The menus are a work in progress but you can find everything you need up there to go directly to things. Review which maybe Reviews will be all the reviews we’ve done. We will be adding different types (briefs, jocks, thongs) below it. Also our social links are way easier to find!
- New slider – the images at the top will show you whats new and can click directly on a post. It will always show the last 5 posts.
- Ads are all on one side. That was one of the biggest complaints we had about the old site, it was confusing and crazy but no more!
We think this will be way easier to navigate and take us forward. Let us know what you think and we look forward to going into the 2014 with this great site! Thanks to all our loyal readers! Any questions or comments email us at info@underewarnewsbriefs.com
We hope you are enjoying our new design! We wanted a really fun picture for the first post on the new site! So we choose the MaleBasics Spot collection. If I could have a pillow fight this morning I would! The Dots collection has a sports mesh type material in it. The briefs and trunks have them around the side and back, while the jock has a mesh pouch.
Shapewear is still something that is a growing market in the world of men’s underwear. We have a few brands doing it, most notably Spanx. Which I have reviewed many of those! The one thing about most shapewear on the men’s market is its super expensive. The Spanx shirts, which I think are great, are about $60 a shirt or more. Granted that’s a lot of money to spend.
Then enter aussieBum in the shapewear market. They created the Body Wrap. Which is a compression fit fabric that is more of a body suit rather than a shirt or underwear. It’s basically more like a singlet. The aB site says “The aussieBum ‘BODY WRAP’ is designed to make you look and feel great. Utilising the latest in compression fit fabric technologies to give you that slim rock-hard look without the hours at the gym.”
I think this is an important to cover. I think over the next few years we’ll see a lot more shapewear for men. To me this pair is cool because it looks easier to put on. I hear many of you going. HUH? If you have tried shapewear shirts sometimes you have to wrestle to get in them. I mean one time it took me over 10 minutes to put on a shirt. Why you may ask? Well the shirt gets rolled up on it self when you try to put it on. Its hard to put on if you’re just out of the shower. Sometimes you say to hell with it! This pair if you put on line a singlet you won’t have to wrestle with your clothes to put them on.
Also the design of these are pretty cool. From the picture it looks like they paid attention to creating zones where you have support, such as the pouch, around the check and waist. It would be incredibly bad if it lost shape in any of these areas. It should be tight around you to give you the bodyshaping you are after.
The pair is available at aussieBum site for just $45. It is also available in black and white. This is an amazing price if you’re looking for something to give you a little extra shape!
PPU has a new collection that has been released. We thought we would share one of the new pictures! This collection has more boxer briefs than previous collections. So if you’re a Boxer Brief fan then check out the entire colleciton
We are giving you a sneak preview of the new site. YES, UNB is getting a makeover. It has been in the works for a few months. Not many knew about it. But For the last six months I have been pouring over themes, and finally decided on 2 and then narrowed down to one!
We have been doing massive amounts of backend work for the last few months. With the help of some plug-ins and some hard work we are ready to unveil the new site! This is a brief look! It’s going to be a magazine style, with a slider at the top and all the ads will move to the right hand side. It will make it easier to read!
We also have redone the menu (see above) and will be easier to find our site’s features. I”m super excited about this and should take UNB into the future. It’s clean, sleek and I think you guys will like. I showed many of the advertisers and brands in Vegas and they loved it!
This will happen this Sunday morning. I’m not expecting problems but barring problems the site will be down just for a bit early morning and back up after no more than an hour. So if you come to the site that morning and things go wonky. Then you will know whats going on!
Stay Tuned for NEW UNB!

Croota underwear (www.croota.com) has listened to its customers and has re-released two of its most popular underwear ranges as part of its 2014 rollout of products, which will soon also include tank tops. Known for its comfort, fit and style, the California-based underwear label is heating up men’s underwear drawers just in time for Spring with its ‘Pattern Breaker Hipster’ range available in two color options, along with its ‘Croota Through’ range.
Croota’s ‘Pattern Breaker Hipster’ was originally released in 2012, providing guys with sophisticated designs in both purple and black options. Its pattern was inspired by the stars of the Australian flag, as well as Croota’s unique star logo. The combination of waistband materials, including satin and polyurethane, was the first of its kind, and remains rare among underwear brands on the market today. A partial and breaking silver satin logo found along the elastic band are the hardest techniques for manufacturers to produce, but Croota is known for its quality and had no issue in re-releasing this range for its most die-hard customers.
The ‘Croota Through’ low-rise hipster range was first released in early 2011, but still features a sporty square-cut and body-hugging design. Made from high-quality cotton that feels great against skin, the mixed cotton and satin waistband complements the brand’s unique dedication for all-around comfort. The range, which was even featured in a photo shoot with Russian Regional Freeski Champion, Artem Chu Glebov, is available in its original navy color and orange waistband.
Both ‘Pattern Breaker Hipster’ and ‘Croota Through’ underwear ranges are made with 95% cotton and 5% spandex. Each range retails for $22.90, and both are available at www.croota.com.
Jockstrap Central has a new model Spence. He’s modeling the new Colt line of Jockstraps. They have been redone by the team at Timoteo and you know they will be high quality and fun to wear

It’s Throwback Thursday! We are bringing you a great shot from the Cocksox Leopard print. They no longer sell this one but it was one of my favorites!
Over the past few years at Magic we have had a “Meet and Greet” for brands, buyers and others attending Magic. Its a social gathering where everyone can get together and talk. You may think this sounds strange but at the show usually most brands don’t have time to talk to other brands. You have clients in all day and then on the last day you’re so worn out you pretty much hang in your both.
This year we had it in the Luxor at Centra. I will say I was a little worried that it was a short walk and people wouldn’t come over from the Mandalay Bay. But it was a lot of fun and brands did come! The brands that attended were 2EROS, SupaWear, N2N Bodywear, Frank Dandy, Bwet Swimwear, Shrine Boxers, Timoteo, Underwear Nation, Garcon Model, Wood Underwear, BoyRio, PetitQ and I know I”m missing someone, and I apologize if I did!
It was great hearing the brands say they are glad we had something social. We used to do them just in February but we are going to do them every Magic. So if you’re a brand or buyer going to Magic let us know so we can include you!
Belive it or not, spring is on the way. Underwear Nation has a new issue this month called Fresh. They picked some bright fun colors for this issue. Go check it out
