There has always been a market for fetish wear in the underwear community for men. Over the last few years I have noticed a new trend in designs. Functional underwear design and fetish wear design are merging together. The Modus Vivendi Denim Look Brief is an example of this trend and I was lucky enough to review it and have to admit that even though I wear mostly thongs there is nothing sexier than putting in a great brief. This sporty brief, part of Modus Vivendi’s Fishermen Collection, with a football pant inspired cross lace front is definitely a great addition to my underwear collection.
There is no denying the main design on this brief is to accent your crotch. Tie the cotton cords tight or leave it lose. The versatility of the look depends on how much you wanna show off. The lace ties are accented by a border of leather looking material. There is definitely a visual accent to the crotch by these vertical black accents. But there is more design that just peek a boo pubes. Keeping with the denim look of the briefs there is a cute plastic appliqué to the rear waistband that mimics the label on a pair of Levis.
The softness of fabric, made of 95% Vicose (Rayon) and 5% Elastan, provides a pleasurable experience to wear the garment all day. Here is a tip: If you are gonna wear these briefs under your jeans all day then leave the ties loose. The leather look material rubs aggressively in your skin if the ties are tied tights. After sitting at my desk for a few hours I had to loosen the ties for more comfort. I also found the ties to be a little too long so I just cut a few inches off.
I had never worn a pair by this brand before. I have found that when an underwear brand markets itself to cater to the fetish community there tends to be a cheapness to the production value. The materials, design and finish of a garment for high quality fetish wear can really break your bank. This brief is fun, functional and is affordable.
If I were to continue with the rest of my review of this brief then we would need to post it on a more adult website. Let’s just say that the lace in the front got loose. Very loose. And I dont think I have more fun with a pair of briefs on. 🙂

Today’s Brief Distraction is a UNB original. We have teamed up with photographer Scott Barnes. We have profiled his work on the blog and now we have him doing some great pictures for us. This pair featured underwear furnished by Baskit!
It’s Friday so that means that its time for Underwear of the Week. The third week is a jockstrap! This week we choose the Candyman Two Shades Jockstrap! The reason this wins this week is it’s just FUN! I got a chance to see this one in Vegas and I really love the way it looked!
Over the last few years jocks have become their own category in undies. I think before that it was always considered a part of the “fetish” world. Now they are front and center in many collections. Companies are making jocks in fun colors, different materials and are not just creating “classic” jocks. This is not a “classic” jock but a new take on a classic pair of men’s underwear.
Reasons this pair made underwear of the week:
- Two tone pouch is new and fun
- Branded leg straps
- Available in two color combinations
- Blue & White
- Polyester/Spandex fabric blend
This pair is out in stores now. So check it out and let us know what you think!
Andrew Christian is one of those companies where it’s hard to keep up with all the new styles coming out. They have at least one one pair of underwear come out a week! We try to keep up but even we have trouble keeping it all in order!

Celebrating 20 years of selling men’s underwear is Topdrawers, a single shop in Vancouver that greatly expanded its reach as one of the early adopters of online selling.
“We are really grateful to our local customers that have supported us for so long, which allowed us to make the leap to online sales 12 years ago,” said David King, the business owner.
“Back when we started in 1992 there were a half dozen underwear stores in North America and about as many on the entire internet,” said David, adding that now there are dozens of similar operations, as well as hundreds of directories, review sites, eye candy sites and blogs, all dedicated to men’s underwear.
“And it’s amazing how the product has developed over this time. Twenty years ago we were really just leaving the stone age. The only “fashion” we had were a few fancy European bikinis and the Calvin Klein tighty-whitey. So much has improved in terms of quality and design and fabrication.”
Vancouver has an unusually developed underwear culture, being the birthplace of quite a few brands, said David.
“It started with Ginch Gonch, which skyrocketed men’s underwear into a fun new direction seven or eight years ago. Now successful lines out of the city include Saxx, Naked, and Mckillop. All are quite different but all are thriving.”
To mark this 20thanniversary milestone and thank its customers Topdrawers is offering 20% off the regular price of everything it sells in-store and at Topdrawers.com this weekend September 21 to 23, 2012.
Today’s Brief Distraction features SupaWear Swimwear. We just profiled them and magic this week! This picture was taken by West Phillips. He’s a new photog we ran across a few months back and hope to see more from him!
BoyRio is an underwear/swimwear company based in Rio de Janeiro, and you can tell because all of their pieces would look great on a bright sandy beach locale. I got a pair of their Full brief to review. Disguised as a basic pair of briefs, these undies are quite nice to wear, even though you’ll be a little surprised at the fabric.
The fabric blend is a 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex blend. The result is a cool forest green that has a slight luxe sheen to it. The brief is a pouch brief style, with the two-panel pouch inset into the front of the brief with deep brown contrast flatlock stitching. To finish off, the brief has black finishing on the leg holes, and a black elastic at the waist. The only wonky part of the fabrication for me was the taggage; there is a tag at the back center with the size and washing instructions, as well as a little hang tag coming out of the front hip with the brand.
In addition to that, the waist elastic seam (when the elastic is made into a loop) is set at the center front, so they added an additional brand label at the center front. For me, that’s a little too much, but the front two are at least on the outside, so it shouldn’t affect your comfort level. The leg holes are nice and stretchy without being too loose.
What I like about the underwear is it has a nice lifting effect to everything. The pouch isn’t a c-ring style lift, but it does keep everything up front. The elastic in the legs picks the butt up quite nicely. This is a very low rise brief. I would suggest ordering a size up as well, because my regular size is a bit too snug for my comfort.
All in all, a nice sexy brief, design wise, I wouldn’t say it’s anything special, it’s the sexy Rio version of a classic.
Pros:
- Surprisingly nice fabric.
- Snug pouch.
Cons:
- Not too special in it’s design.
- A little excessive on the taggage.

We ran this video because we want to change undies for all! But how many guys do we know with bad undies like the picture? We’re glad we’re not the only one wanting to change the underwear habits of men!
Today’s Brief Distraction is from photographer Scott Barnes. We are teaming up with him to do some great things just for UNB. We will bring you more soon but enjoy this pic of his!
This was the first time I got to meet with 2EROS. I think this was the first time they were at a US show! It was great to see the new collection and find out more about them. I know they aren’t too well known in the US. I have seen a few retailers selling them however it’s mainly been on Facebook and the internet that I ran across them. They have been around I think since the start of UNB. We have covered them in the past and after meeting them you can definitely count on seeing them more on UNB.
One thing I think is great about 2EROS is they have a lot of fun creating underwear. It shows in the designs and colors they use. They aren’t a line you would think plain. They mix leather and rubber accents with colors and different fabrics.
Here is bit of what we talked about at Magic!
