MODUS VIVENDI Launches Sunshine Line and the “Bright Side” Campaign – A Fresh Serve of Style and Sustainability.
MODUS VIVENDI presents the Sunshine Line, a standout addition to the Upcycling Collection, where vibrant design meets responsible fashion. Made for those who value comfort and conscience, this line is crafted from upcycled, soft, printed elasticated fabric—bringing a joyful energy to your everyday essentials.
The Sunshine Line features a range of underwear styles in three radiant shades—Green, Orange, and Yellow—each chosen to reflect the warmth and optimism of a sun-soaked day. With a body-hugging fit and breathable finish, these pieces offer maximum comfort with a light-hearted yet elevated aesthetic. Whether you’re powering through your day or enjoying a laid-back weekend, the Sunshine Line brings feel-good vibes, inside and out.
What sets the Sunshine Line apart is its purpose-driven production. Part of our Responsibility Edit, this collection supports the circular economy by using upcycled materials—textiles that may have gone to waste are reimagined into something fresh, wearable, and valuable. By transforming surplus high-quality fabric into modern, fashionable pieces, MODUS VIVENDI continues its mission to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable choices.
To showcase the dynamic spirit of this line, the Sunshine campaign captures a playful, athletic mood: a man in Sunshine underwear confidently takes to the tennis court, radiating energy, movement, and eco-conscious style. It’s a bold visual metaphor that celebrates both performance and sustainability—because looking good and doing good should go hand in hand.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, UNB Tim is joined by Scott, a straight man and long-time thong and spandex wearer, for a deep dive into masculinity, societal expectations, and the uneven playing field between gay and straight men when it comes to self-expression. Together, they unpack the cultural double standards that dictate what straight men can and can’t wear, how those rules stem from patriarchal control, and the emotional journey many men go through in embracing their authentic selves.
Scott opens up about his journey from high school football lineman and military Blackhawk pilot to body-positive advocate and unapologetic spandex-wearing gym-goer. He shares his near-death experience that led him to reevaluate his relationship with masculinity and stop living for others’ approval. This conversation touches on the societal discomfort with men expressing sexiness, why straight men face harsher criticism for non-traditional clothing choices, and how control, not attire, lies at the heart of these reactions.
Whether you’re gay, straight, or somewhere in between, this episode is a wake-up call to examine how masculinity is policed—and how liberating it is to break free from those constraints.

“Men fear the most the things that set them free.” – Scott
“It’s not the thong they’re offended by—it’s what the thong represents to them.” – UNB Tim
“You’re only as manly as the last thing you did. So if you’re not doing manly things, people start to question who you are.” – Scott
“Straight men want to be in control of everything in their life… and when they can’t control another man, it terrifies them.” – Scott
“What you wear doesn’t make you a man. But needing to control what other men wear? That says more about you than them.” – Scott
“If you look someone in the eye with conviction and show them you’re not afraid, bullies back down. They don’t know what to do with that energy.” – Scott
“Most people are too busy with their own lives to care what underwear you’re wearing. The fear is in your head.” – Scott
“You may lose some friends, but you’ll gain better ones. Burn out the deadwood. What you gain on the other side is worth it.” – Scott
“This isn’t just about underwear. This is about saving men from themselves—and the violence that grows from unchecked masculinity.” – Scott
“For anyone wanting to explore this more, read For the Love of Men by Liz Plank. It shifted my entire mindset.” – Scott

One brand that really brought a fetish twist to the world of underwear and gear is Maskulo. This brand out of Russia was one of the first to make the marriage of gear and sports gear. These singlets had the cod piece and pads on the quads. It reminded me of football gear, but with a kinky twist. This picture was from 2017, but they are still going strong and making amazing gear
