Let’s face it, we all want underwear that is super sexy. That’s part of the reason we really want to buy underwear. If it doesn’t feel sexy then why bother right? The newest range from aussieBum is the Riot line. First thing you notice is the color. The bright blue trim and waistband offset the white sports mesh material.
The next thing you notice is the cut outs. There are two cut outs, the first is over the pouch and the second is in the back (well in the brief), the jock is of course open but has the same front as the brief. Last thing you may notice in the pics is the material. It’s a white sports mesh! Which leads me to wonder if you use this to work out will it become see through? This maybe a sticking point to some and a selling point to others!
aussieBum has never been a stranger to hot undies. They released the new Rugby shorts a while back and now are entering a more sports market. Granted I don’t know if we’ll see these at the gym but they would be great for working out, activities and a great date! The brief is around $25 and the jock is $23 at the aussieBum site.
If you’re a fan of our Brief Distractions then you will love UNB Photography. Originally a site used to promote the best in underwear photography and interviews with models, photographers and brands. I decided UNB is the best place for interviews. However there is so much amazing photography we don’t profile on the blog. So this site will be pretty much all galleries of pictures. Ones we have uploaded already are:
- Jockstrap Centrals’ Bike 10 Pics (pictured above)
- Mike Stalker for C-IN2 as photographed by Rick Day
- CR7 Launch Pictures
- Basskit Colorado Fire Fighters

And much more. We will be adding them as we get them and uploading some older pics. Don’t expect to see much text but tons of great pics! So go to the site and check it out and follow UNB Photography on Twitter to see all posts as they go live and the UNB Photography Facebook page to post pics when appropriate for FB

It was snow central down here in the south. Roads shut down, people in their houses, what do you do? If you’re model Derek Yates you strip to your C-IN2 undies and take a few pics. These are awesome!
I asked our guys, what you are planning to wear for Valentine’s Day. We have a mix of single/dating and gay/straight so where are what some of us will be wearing.
Alex – I’ll be wearing my new Andrew Christian punted tighty whitie jock. It’s a new sexy take on an old classic. Just the fun valentines day needs!!
Shane – Being the special day that it is to celebrate love and infatuation, I will be wearing the color of love – RED! I will be wearing the newest pair of red underwear that I have added to my collection, the Modus Vivendi metallic loose fit boxer. It is simply wonderful! I love the stripes being dark and bright red with a slightly metallic sheen. They fit great and look great. These are not your dad’s boxers. They make me feel confident and look great on. Love them!
T – I’ll be wearing the Gregg Homme Pump Up Thong, just in case I bump into a guy who wants to start a whirlwind romance then and there 🙂 I’ll be wearing good undies, supportive, but still scandalous.
John – Having been in a relationship now for over 8 years, Valentines Day is just another day that I get to spend with the guy that I love. As for my underwear selection… I think I will be in a jock. My partner loves when I wear a jockstrap, so since the day is about showing him how much I love him, that is the way I will go. I have a cute new pair of Andrew Christians that will be just perfect. It is a pair of his dark red Teaser Air Jock. I love these because they are super comfy and light weight with plenty of room so they are great to wear all day, yet sexy and playful so that what ever happens that night is just as exciting.
Tim (ME) – I”ll be traveling so I won’t have any romantic dinners unless you count having one on a Southwest flight 32,000 feet in the air with 200 of my closest friends. I am going to wear my John Seivers California Gold Brief. This is one of the best briefs I have for traveling. Will anyone see it, NOPE just me but I’ll be in Vegas that night so how bad could it be?
ES Collection has a great new line of active wear. This is part of the new collection that includes the runners as well. Enjoy the picture
I’ve been an avid fan of underwear for way too many years. I see new styles I like, new colors or patterns, or just a new version of an old favorite and I simply have to have it. I wait until I can find it on sale (I do have bills to pay, you know) and then I strike. There’s usually a package in the mail containing a pair or two at least twice a month. So it’s no wonder that my collection has outgrown the space I’ve designated to store them in. I have two drawers in my dresser where I keep the ones that I wear on a regular basis. Two other storage containers in the closet keep the ones that I don’t wear but simply can’t bear to part with. Is it time for an intervention? Some might think so, but I don’t think I’m quite at hoarder status yet. Not quite, but close.
I recently decided it was time to do some organizing. Usually when i do the laundry I just throw all my underwear into one of the two designated drawers. So every morning when I am getting dressed I spend a good amount of time rummaging, digging through the pile to see what strikes my fancy for the day. This is what one of the drawers looks like on any given day.
I painstakingly took them all out of the drawer and laid them out on the bed. Separated them by brand and style. If I had the space I would have just left them there, they looked so nice.
I posed the question on twitter, asking my followers how they managed their underwear. Here are some of their responses.
@Sergio_Trentin Jan 22 : Usually I roll up all my underwear and I place in a fine Ikea boxes for briefs or boxers.
@BikinisNThongs : By style. Thongs, bikinis, jocks, etc. are all in their own drawers.
separate drawers for style, but just tossed in one big messy pile in each drawer.
My organization works because I typically know what style I want to wear that day based on mood, etc. Then I just reach in a drawer and get a surprise. Its very rare that I’m looking for a very specific pair. I have considered keeping another drawer for my most favorites….those that I like to wear for special occasions. But then I feel like they would be excluded from the normal rotation.
@undiescanuck : By style, then alphabetical by brand 🙂
I decided to go with rolling up the underwear. It seemed like a good way to get the sorted and hopefully keep them that way. And much easier than trying to fold them. This is what I ended up with.
So far it seems to have worked. They are three deep down in the drawer, with the ones that I wear most often from each brand at the top. Easy to get to the other ones should I decide I want to wear something a little different. Now here is the next problem. This is only one drawer. I still have another drawer to do. Should I do the same thing or something different? And what about all those pairs in the close that I don’t wear at all? Does it ever end? Let’s hope not! =)
It’s Monday, wear some great undies and pick some great colors such as these from Skmpeez! We believe every Monday you should wear BRIGHT underwear
We all make New Years Resolutions, and one of the most common resolutions is to lose weight, or “live healthier.” For me, it has unfortunately become an annual thing. From January to May or early June I really work hard on losing weight and eating right, and as summer gets going I find it easier to eat lighter and be active. But once football season rolls around, the sun doesn’t rise as early and I always fall into the same trap. I succumb to the temptations of bar food and snacks and I stop working out as my clothing gets heavier and masks my physique. After Christmas, the number on the scale is back to where I never wanted it be again when I began the process in January.
I know I am not alone in such a struggle, but if you’re like me when it comes to underwear, I buy the most underwear when I am feeling the best about my body. For me, that happens to be in the summer, when I almost always need to go down a pant size (but won’t because I know I’ll just give into temptation in the Fall), I am tan and look more like a professional athlete than the desk-jockey I am. But if you are like me and give into temptation and start eating poorly as Winter approaches, those sexy briefs that made you look like Apollo in July start to make you feel like Chris Farley in the Chippendale’s sketch.
I don’t think I’d be going out on a limb to say that for a lot of us underwear aficionados, nothing can make you start feeling poorly about yourself than when a pair of underwear you love goes from sexy to unflattering in the matter of just a couple of months. The best remedy to avoid this feeling is obvious–continue to eat and workout like you’re always preparing for Summer. But it’s January, and we are all diligently watching our calories, and working out when we can (right?!). Our bodies, softened from the last two months of seemingly constant temptation, don’t look the greatest in some of our favorite pairs. So what can we do that offers a temporary fix to this temporary (right?!) problem?
The underwear savants here at UNB have long advised our readers to diversify their underwear drawers, so if you struggle to maintain that summer body as you go into the late Fall and Winter months, you need to think about getting some pairs you know you’ll always look your best in, no matter how trim you are. Follow these three tricks to keep yourself looking great and feeling good on your way to that body you’ll have in a few months.
Trick #1: Bigger Can Be Better
If your like me and your love handles tend to re-appear as you near Christmas, it may be a good idea to stow away a few pairs in your favorite brands and styles that happen to be a size larger than your normal underwear. XL and L are sizes that are almost always available when the big underwear brands go on sale or clearance on sites like Freshpair.com or MensUnderwearStore.com, so this trick isn’t going to hurt your wallet. And if you’re a Small normally, while you may not find clearance-priced Mediums, those websites always have substantial sales going on. Finally, pay attention to how your favorite brands run for sizing. Big, American labels like 2(X)ist and Calvin Klein run fairly big, which affords you to stay in your favorite styles while only changing size.
Trick #2: Know that There is no “Cut” Above the Rest…
Cut and Fit. These are the two factors that can turn a good looking pair of underwear into a not-so-good looking pair of underwear once you’ve got them on. If you’re like me and prefer more athletically cut, bikini or hip briefs but have been known to put on some weight towards the end of the year, they can get tight in certain areas and loose in others. This is the “cut” affecting the “fit” and this is where the importance of diversity in your underwear drawer really comes in. So if you’ve put on a few extra pounds but maybe Trick #1 is not necessary, a great way to feel better about your appearance in your skivvies is to stock several “cuts” of underwear.
Trick #3: Dial Down the Skimpiness
Not feeling great in these? Try these instead.
No matter what your preference when it comes to your go-to underwear cuts and styles, when you’re carrying some “Winter Weight” you’re going to look (and feel) your best when every thing is covered or contained comfortably and stylishly. No guy carries their extra pounds in the same place as the next guy, but a trick I use in these winter months I call the, “Next-Less-Skimpy Rule.” It’s sort of the cumulative result of the first two tricks but shouldn’t necessitate you going out and buying more underwear.
Here’s how I apply the Next-Less-Skimpy Rule: If I get a pair on and its not fitting how I like it to fit, or it is entirely unflattering when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I drop them to the floor, fold them and pick a pair that provides the next-less-skimpy look and feel. Recently, I couldn’t get my butt all the way into a pair of skimpier Body Aware briefs. I folded them back up and put on a pair of CK hip briefs. I looked and felt a heck of a lot better in an instant.
If you’re like me and over the cold weather we are experiencing here in the States, I think we need a nice warm picture featuring Marcuse underwear. I wish I was there…
Mr. S Leather, the ultimate brand in fetish gear has branched out into fetish underwear choosing Timoteo, one of the world’s top underwear designers to make it happen. As you probably know, using Timoteo not only means this is one hell of a quality collection but it’s also made in the USA.
As to be expected, most of this edgy collection of jockstraps and jock briefs all have a base color of black with detailing designed to either highlight your package, your ass or both. The exception is their take on the classic athletic supporter complete with mesh pouch and full 3 inch wide waistband available in black or white.
As for the waistbands, all designs include woven horizontal racing stripes and a rubber patch with the Mr. S. Leather logo front and center reinforcing the whole sport and fetish connection.
A picture paints a thousand words: Instead of us attempting to describe all the new jocks in a lengthy email, just visit Jockstrap Central to see our extensive high resolution photos of our model Derek giving all the Mr. S Leather jocks a thorough workout.
