Men’s Underwear

N2N Bodywear never fails to impress me with styling, look, and color combination when it comes to their varying underwear forms and fashion.  The Quantum Brief from n2n Bodywear in Spicy Orange was a nice brief to try.  The fabric consists of 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex to provide a soft feel with the perfect amount of stretch and give.  Most companies are beginning to use fabric blends instead of the standard 100% cotton we are all used to and I like it.  Size large was an okay fit, but not necessarily true to size with a comfortable one and a half inch dark grey, white, and orange striped waistband with the N2N logo placed several times on the waistband.

Upon first inspection, I found the brief to be more of a mini brief rather than an actual brief, the quality was good, the spicy orange (think a dark orange) color with grey, orange, and white striped waistband was a nice contrast, grey outlined leg openings, and the crotch fabric was slim for easy movement and no bunching.  There is a very slight pouch (if you really want to call it that) near the bottom of the front of the brief.  This brief is more of a flat stretchy piece of fabric rather than an actual pouch brief.  After putting this pair on and viewing myself in the mirror, size large was a bit smallish, but not tragically so.  The rear fit well and the brief moved with my body movements and conformed to the body in a nice way.  Overall, I enjoyed this brief with the fit and color combination.

I wore this N2N Bodywear Quantum Brief from beginning of the day until around 6:30 that evening.  I began the day with an hour and a half drive to a local tourist town, spent the day shopping and such in the heat, ate lunch, and drove back home before peeling this brief off.  The brief was comfortable and supportive throughout the day and I had no issue with riding up or bunching of fabric.

Overall, this was an enjoyable pair of underwear and loved the color combination of dark orange and grey.  I liked the feel of the fabric and the look of the brief.  The price is reasonable for this type of specialty underwear.  In general, I have a couple of complaints about this brief.  First, sizing for N2N undies seems to be slightly off, but not dramatically so.  Second, these undies come with washing it by hand (or wash with like colors) instructions which could be an issue with some guys, but I have no problem performing this simple routine of washing.  I would HIGHLY recommend washing the brief by hand, or on cold and delicate cycle if you use a machine then hanging/laying it flat to dry.

This pair of underwear was furnished by, N2N Bodywear, and may be found the N2N Website for  $21.

A couple months ago, I was alerted of this small new website called CheapUndies.com by none other than the Underwear News Briefs blog. I was instantly intrigued, because well…cheap and undies for me sadly don’t always get to go together. I am a fan of nice underwear, but as a young budding circus artist, I am usually found perusing the sale racks only, finding an awful lot of certain brands, and unable to afford the loftier brands.

Enter Cheapundies.com, this company is grounded in the “woot.com” One Deal One Day mold that brings you ONE item per day at a really discounted price. What I saw when I first clicked is a man’s body and a woman’s body, each modeling the certain pair of undies on sale that day. The pair of underwear I saw that day was probably 60-75% off its original price, coming in at roughly $5. I was in shock, and started to check out the other costs involved (where’s the catch). After snooping around, I discovered the only other fee is the one for shipping, which is a very reasonable $5 for regular post to my location. I wasn’t ready to chip in $5 shipping for a $5 dollar pair of undies just yet. I know it’s only $10, but paying the same amount in shipping as the product just felt odd to me.

For a moment let’s go back to how the site works. CheapUndies spends most of their time (when not shipping undies off to happy customers) sourcing underwear companies that are willing to sell a huge amount of one pair of undies to them for a very low price. This low price for CheapUndies allows them to extend the deal to you, and by spreading out the deals among many underwear brands, no single brand is getting short-changed. So basically, each day CheapUndies gets a huge haul of one pair of undies for incredibly cheap. This is where the magic kicks in.

What happens if not ALL of the pairs of undies are gone by the end of the 24 hours? Well, those undies go into the part of the website called Last Chance Deals. These are not on the One Day time restriction anymore, they are the excess, still priced at their extremely discounted rate. And that, my friends, is where my magic moment happened.

Last week, I fell in love with the pair that was being advertized for the day, but I wanted to maximize the undies to shipping ratio, so I went into the Last Chance Deals, and looked around for other pairs to supplement my main pair, to mollify my worries about the shipping. I ended up getting 3 pairs of undies + shipping to the tune of $20.00. For your information, I got one brief, a thong, and a boxster, and all are incredibly wonderful to wear. I placed my order at around 11pm on May 17th, and they arrived May 21st. So, for $20, I got 3 pairs of quality, well fitted and designed undies, plus shipping that arrived in about 3 days, from CheapUndies.com… I rest my case.

The Air Bikini is a winner in my book!  Known for creating underwear that looks great and feels exceptionally good, N2N has done it again!  The fabric is 60% polyester, 30% rayon and 8% spandex, giving it that famous N2N  “almost nothing” feel.   I received it in black; it is also available in white, grey, and cream.  As soon as I took it out of the package I knew I was going to love this underwear.

I started my day working in the office, wearing them under a pair of long shorts.  To say that they felt great is an understatement.  I love the way they hugged the goods in front like a second skin.  This bikini does a great job of keep everything just where you want it.   And don’t let the term ‘bikini’ fool you.

The seat is full and felt great; I didn’t have to adjust it at all.  A medium fit my 31” waist perfectly.  And I must admit, there is a certain sexy feeling I got wearing underwear that so many other would consider too skimpy.   I showed them to a couple of good friends; the defining comment was “Wow, who knew a men’s bikini could be that hot!”.  The shorts I had on sat low on my hips and several times I realized that the band of the waist was showing, with a little skin showing below them and it didn’t bother me at all.

I can honestly say that I have nothing negative to say about this pair.  They look and feel great, and I can’t wait to get the other colors!

N2N Bodywear has nice underwear.  I am never disappointed by their styling, look, and color combinations.  They seem to really have figured out what guys like in underwear and how underwear should fit and function.  The N2NBodywear Signature Boxer in white with black trim and yellow lettering was nice to try due to many of the reasons that I mentioned earlier.  The fabric consists of 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex for a soft feel with perfect stretch and conforming abilities to provide adequate support and lines.  Size Large was a nice fit and was true to size with a comfortable one and a half inch black waistband and N2NBodywear listed around the waistband in yellow and white lettering to provide a nice contrast against the black band.  The body of the brief was white with black contrasting detailing around the leg openings and next to the pouch.

Upon first inspection, the signature boxer is more of a squarecut low rise brief (think of a shorter version of a squarecut brief), the quality was good, the white with black trim and yellow lettering was a excellent touch. The rear consisted of three separate panels to provide support and definition of the rear and the pouch size was adequate (stretchy and accommodating for the larger package).  After putting this pair on, I found the pouch to be defining and I loved the two black strips of fabric on each side of the pouch to enhance the pouch and draw attention to the goody basket.  One of the strips of fabric actually creates the pouch and nestles behind the package to provide lift and places the goods out front.  I like this addition.  The fabric was conforming and felt like a second skin against my body as it moved fluidly with my body movements.  The rear was excellent!  The way the rear is paneled together in three pieces allows for definition and provided a nice look.

I wore this N2NBodywear Signature Boxer from beginning of the day until around 10:30 that night.  I began the day with my two hour drive to a contract position, providing assessments from 9:00am-1:00pm, driving to do a bit of shopping and trying on clothes, and driving another hour back home.  After all of this, the boxer remained comfortable and supportive.  I had no problem with riding up or bunching of fabric as this boxer really felt like I was not wearing anything at all and acted like a second skin.   The pouch was supportive and comfortable.

Overall, this was a great pair of underwear and served the purpose well.  I liked the look of the rear panels, the feel of the fabric, the overall look of the brief, the conforming nature of the fabric, and the contrasting of black and white coloring.  The price is reasonable for this type of specialty underwear due to styling, coloring, and fit.  In general, I have no major complaints about this boxer other than the washing it by hand instructions (or with like colors, it states on the tag) which could be an issue with some guys, but I have no problem performing this simple routine of washing.  One could simply wash the undies in cold water and hang/lay flat to dry with no problems.

Monday night (here in the U.S.) aussieBum streamed live their photo shoot. If you are a fan of our Facebook page, we posted a link to the aB LiveStream channel. aB really knows how to use social media to their advantage. The feed was a little testy for a bit. It would play then cut out and pick back up. I watched for about 30 mins at the beginning.

It is a great way to see how a photo shoot is conducted in the underwear/swimwear business. Very few companies actually will show you the behind the scenes of a shoot in this detail. There have been others who have done this but aB has started doing this on a regular basis.

The shoot was for a DNA Magazine cover. As you see form the picture here they will be releasing a singlet soon! We will have all the information about it when it is released. Next time they do a stream we hope to post it before it goes live!

Today’s Brief Distraction is from Vuthy! This is another awesome pic from our Swimwear guide and features our model Juan. He is wearing the White/Black 271 Suit. We hope you enjoy these because we have loved bringing them to you! We will bring you 7 more days of exclusive pictures from the shoot, so stay tuned!

Just when you thought the videos could not get any more erotic, this one paints a new fantasy that will leave you dreaming of muscles and paint dripping. The video begins with a group of boys in an art studio, waiting for the nude male model (Brandon Wertz) to show up and drop his robe. Once the robe hits the ground you can see the lust in all of their eyes. The instigator of the group (Jose Valdivia) cannot help himself and he is the first to go up to Brandon for a closer look. As Kat Graham sings “Put Your Grifitti On Me,” Jose takes his chances and starts to finger paint Brandon’s chest. Of course it is only a matter of time before the two best friends (fan favorites Steven Dehler and Quinn Jaxon) and new AC model Johnathan Myers join in the fun. Jose notices that one of the guys (Marcel Cruz) is being shy, so he goes over to lure him into the action.

As they playfully paint each other’s bodies the heat index reaches a whole new level. Body paint drips off of their gorgeous bodies as they give each other a rub down that will have all of you begging “Put Your Graffiti On Me.”
