It’s been HOT, not just hot but strip to your undies hot weather. All across the east record temps have been set and the weather is heading west! With that in mind we thought we would give you 5 pairs that you should own in this heat. They will keep you cool and comfy (well as much as you can in 100+ temps).
We looked at pairs that were breathable, fashionable and has a great fit. We think these fit all those categories. Some of these you may have seen others you may not have!
These are just a few choices you should consider during the hot summer! We would love to hear your favorite pair for keeping cool in the summer. Post a comment here or on our Facebook page!
Today’s Brief Distraction is one for all the HEAT we’ve been having, Here in Atlanta we had two days of 106 weather and a swim suit is all you can stand to wear. This is Undergear.com‘s Tactics Ipanema Swim Bikini. Perfect for those guys who want something different. It’s $36 but if you hurry you can get it on sale for $21!
Have you missed Ginch Gonch? It’s been a few years since we got a new collection from them. I heard from several people from the sites and friends asking when Ginch Gonce would be back. Well your wait is over. They just released a new line and are making a return. The one thing I always liked about the undies is they fit me well and conformed to me. Even without a pouch it felt really good.
Here is some info they sent us and we hope to see more from them soon!
Our brand name comes from Western Canada. Ginch Gonch is Canadian slang for underwear. Ginch is Masculine Gonch is Feminine.
Guys want more fun, color and playfulness (youthfulness) in their intimate apparel. That’s what separates us from the pack. “Intimacy is playful, so why shouldn’t guy’s intimate apparel be as well”. You can quote me on that. Our company Motto is “Live Like A Kid”… You should practice this in all you do, and show it off, in your wear.
For Men, we offer the traditional Brief cut and Sport brief cut underwear (like a tight boxer), we also offer men a “low rise” underwear as well as a loose boxer, PJ pant, and off course in the winter for the colder states, Long John’s, which are way cooler then the traditional ones that just keep your legs warm. These can be worn to bed, rocked out as lounge pants etc. Men need to know, “that no matter their inches we’ll cover them in our Ginches”.
We find that women who like wearing male boxers, love and wear our Brand as well. This prompted us to come out with specific silhouettes for women, with all our crazy prints and playfulness as their male counterparts. We say to them “setting the trend for your rear end”. You can see all the body types and their descriptions in the attached retailer info kit.
All our fabrics are breathable cotton with a small hint of lycra so as to be soft on body parts. Lycra gives that elasticity that’s needed to keep the stretch after time and washes. Since we recommend to all our customers WASH this PRODUCT DIALY! It’s even printed on our hangtags. Lol. We feel It’s important to have some Lycra with cotton, but not too much of it, otherwise it becomes to tight and uncomfortable, you need just the right mixture to give the cotton the softness and have a snug look & fit. It cannot be baggy, butt not to snug, as no one enjoys being squished all day and night.
Ginch Gonch offers a little controversy in your pants, that’s why people love us so much, it gives them something different to talk about other then the weather, and “Who doesn’t like to talk & Laugh about undies, It can lead to so many better conversations and places”…………. And ours look great on the floor in the morning!

Pistol Pete Menswear is proud to be featured in the highly anticipated and critically acclaimed release of Magic Mike the movie. In a recent interview with Glamour Magazine, costume designer Christopher Peterson explains how the form-fitting custom designs were essential to the characters in the film, “All of the thongs that are out there are just the most ill-fitting, not film worthy things ever. We tried a million different thongs and none of them worked. So we found this great company called Pistol Pete who custom made all of them. They came in and we found fabrics for them, they printed fabrics for me, and everything was custom made, which took away some of that awkwardness with the fittings.”
Director Steven Soderbergh further elaborates to emanuellevy.com on the costuming by Christopher Peterson and explains Pistol Pete’s key role in fitting and design, “For a patriotic military-themed piece [Christopher] raided an Army Surplus store. But one essential element on which he did not compromise were the thongs, which were custom made in specific fabric and colors, from a company called Pistol Pete. “
“Being featured in films and on TV, and the overall success of Pistol Pete is due to our amazing customers; they inspire me to design and create,” said designer Peter Diaz of Pistol Pete. “We encourage everyone to stay tuned to our collection as we incorporate Magic Mike inspired looks into future campaigns that will be available to everyone.”
Marketing Director and COO Sami Tarrab is available to answer questions and to dispense additional information on Pistol Pete’s collaboration with Magic Mike for consideration in other media outlets.

Just imagine that it is your car that breaks down and Sean Paul Lockhart (aka Brent Corrigan grown up) comes trotting up on a horse in a jock strap! When he asks, “Do you need a hand?” Of course you say yes and are lead into the ranch. The first thing you see is two gorgeous boys making out (Colby Melvin and Brandon Robert Brown aka Colbrandon) in their CoolFlex Active Jock w/ Show-It Tech. Sean then leads you over to an old Jeep where the two of you cozy up and your hands end up all over his tight body.
The party doesn’t stop there! Quinn Jaxon takes you for a ride in his wheel barrow and Colby Melvin give you a ride on his tractor you will never forget. The car might be fixed, but are you actually going to leave? Watch the video and decide for yourself!

This is the 2nd pair from Pistol Pete that I’ve gotten to review. And just like the first they did not disappoint! The super sexy mesh brief is a nylon/lycra spandex blend. The fabric holds it’s shape exceptionally well considering the fact there’s really not much there. The black medium fit me perfectly when I put it on; it took me a few minutes to get used to how they felt and my day began.
This pair was very comfortable for the work day. Lots of sitting at my desk with the occasional walk around through the building. The waistband (which has the Pistol Pete logo front and back) felt great. The reinforced leg openings maintained their grip without pinching, and the pouch front kept everything right where it was supposed to be.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a shy guy. But even I would not normally wear something like this to the gym if I am going to have to change clothes there. But that afternoon I decided to throw caution to the wind and hit the gym after work. Thankfully the gym I go to isn’t ever insanely crowded. The after-work gym bunnies were there, and as I began to change I had a moment of “What the hell are you thinking” before I dropped my pants to put on my gym shorts. I don’t know if I was expecting to hear a laugh track or what, but other than a few inquisitive glances there was really no reaction from any of the other guys around me. I did my workout, and while these briefs aren’t made to “wick” moisture away from the body they did a great job of keeping me air conditioned.
Available in white and black, I love the way these briefs look on the body. The pouch front offers great support and the rear supports the buns perfectly as well. And while I didn’t have the opportunity, I am quite sure that this pair of underwear would spice up any guy’s nightlife, if you know what I mean.

Today’s Brief Distraction is from the new collection by Ben Cohen. We posted a few pics on Facebook and Google Plus. But in case you missed them here is one. To preorder the underwear go to the Stand Up! Foundation website.
I have been a fan of N2N for a few years now. They’re material and fabrication is always extremely quality, matched by a very comprehensive understanding of design. The whole brand has many facets (their sportier looks vs their loungewear…) but as a whole, they are always known for being comfortable, looking sexy, and feeling good about what you’re wearing.
This week I get to review the Cotton Pouch Boxer, I actually own 2 of these, one in an olive color, and the one I was sent for reviewing in white. The first thing you’ll notice is the texture. This is super soft cotton. It’s actually a 90% cotton 10% spandex blend, but all you feel is the heavenly cotton that practically put you in a state of serenity just upon wearing them.
The magic trait of the Cotton Pouch Boxer is the elastic sewn into the seam around the pouch. This creates a slight perch for which your genitals will hang down over. This creates a natural hanging but very full pouch in front. The waistband is sturdy but soft elastic to keep the underwear in place. Other than that, the underwear is very subtle in its wear, with no leg elastics, or tight thong-like seams in the back.
I find this underwear wears best in low-athleticism environments. They make great sleepwear, or undies to go under a loose pair of shorts for a nice stroll. I wouldn’t recommend these for running/working out at the gym. Because of the looseness/comfortable cut of the boxer, it can be slightly prone to bunch up at the leg holes. Not to be vulgar, but if it’s cold out, or you’re not a necessarily “hanging down” type of guy, because the pouch elastic border isn’t being anchored from behind (for example like a jock strap would be) you might have some slipping out occur. This doesn’t necessarily feel uncomfortable because the elastic isn’t tensions to an uncomfortable level, but the “presentation” might be thrown off a bit.
The price was fair at 19$ for this super soft pair, and the sizing is on point (as N2N always is), and it will really make you feel extra sexy.

We bring you another great picture from PUMP! This is part of the new underwear line called Touchdown. This is the Touch Down Brief. Touch Down is a brief made with high quality ultra comfortable sporty black mesh with a full cotton double-lined cup. The cup is accented with red piping and red stitching. The waist elastic is bright fire-engine red, soft yet sturdy with ultimate stretchability and hold. The legs are accented with red cotton.

Hey UNB readers! Its me again. And it’s another thong review. I know you love reading about thongs so I wont delay anymore and just get to it. In the mail came another MaleBasics thong. This particular thong is the Malebasics Micro Fiber V-string Thong. I got a red pair. This is actually a great thong and I think the photos and description on their website don’t really display the material this thong is made from. Sure it states that its made from brushed micro-fiber (Nylon 78% Spandex 22%). If you read that would you really know what that means? Me either.
So I opened the packaged and was surprised to see that the pouch was made from a material that is identical to the gym shorts with the perforated holes. We all have a pair of these shorts. I always slip them on for the gym or a hot summer night in my NYC apartment. Now imagine a thong made from it. Genius. It’s soft and is very breathable.
The pouch is made from this great material. Its got a nice curve to the pouch and offered lots of room. The waistband and thong strap are thin elastic in a matching color. The back has a cute touch to the thong. A triangle piece of the brushed micro-fiber sits nicely in the middle of the back connecting the thong strap and waistband.
My one complaint about this item was the thong strap. Since the thong is available in only two sizes (S/M and L/XL) its not as forming fitting as a thong that is truly the size you need. I found the thong strap to be slightly shorter than what I would consider comfortable. I am sure after some wear and tear it will stretch more to fit me better.
