Review – Gregg Homme – Hot Shot Booty Shorts

No Comments

Gregg Homme’s own website stated it best. This piece is “blisteringly sexy”. The Gregg Homme Hot Shot Booty Shorts are a statement beyond any other this reviewer has seen. With their criss-crossing elastic side panels, discreet metal rings, and ‘liquid touch’ fabric this gladiator style undergarment is more than your typical short. It is a magnet for attraction.

The beauty of the piece does have its limits, however. There are certain things anyone looking for a piece of sexy underwear should know. This type of underwear is not what I would call an everyday wear piece. Instead this is definitely designed and meant for special occasions. In a similar way that a woman buys a piece of lingerie, this is lingerie for men. I have to state this because after wearing it under a pair for jeans for a few hours, the elastic stitching popped on one of the criss crosses. That does not mean it was uncomfortable, it simply means I think the movement was too much for the stitching to handle.

Throughout the day of wearing, this piece stayed extremely comfortable. The brief style top to the rear in conjunction with the thong base took a little getting used to; however, after wearing for about 10 minutes it was extremely comfortable. I greatly enjoyed the hybrid style of the back. Not to mention that the hybrid was wonderful at showing off certain assets, in both the front and back. Add to that the fact that the fabric is cool and sleek and this piece is a pleasure to wear.

Coming in all sizes and 4 colors (Black, white, red and purple) this piece is a must have for any man that is looking to show off his Roman side and have a sexy piece to show off all of the important assets.

Gregg Homme Interview

No Comments

What were the inspirations for each line, is there a story behind them?

The inspirations of our collections come from all different angles: we travel a lot, we read a lot, we web-surf a lot, so we are constantly bombarded by thousands of images from fields that are not necessary fashion.  We are also constantly solicited by our fans sharing their needs and fantasies and finally, we have an incredible creative team.  All this put together reflects in our collections.  As crazy as it may sound, a regular item from the day to day life could be the starting point of a new seem, a new fit or an extraordinary underwear innovative design.

Gregg Homme is known for its incredible use of super soft and stretchy materials, can you tell us about what you used in this collection

Our recent Liquid Touch Hyperstretch Microfiber that we timidly introduced in the KINK of the past season is making a definite statement in this new collection: there no words in the dictionary to explain the tactile sensation of that fabric.  The sponginess and silkiness and that fabric is simply beyond words and to this day, everyone who ever touched that fabric looked back at us totally mesmerized, trying to describe that incredible sensation.  If you get that feeling on your hand, you can just imagine what it feels like when you actually wear it.

Gregg Homme, for the last few years, has done amazing videos; tell us about this year’s video.

There are no doubts about that; our videos are tattooed with fantasies and sensuality.  Our fans not only appreciate them but keep asking for more.  This new campaign is exploring the angle of the Urban Spy Voyeurism: who can pretend not being drawn to check the cute neighbor walking around his apartment in his underwear?

Where did you get the idea for the plot?

We are well surrounded by a very gifted creative team: there is a perfect synergy between the internal staff and the outside agencies putting all the results together.

Brief Distraction

No Comments

Today’s Brief Distraction is the Perfekbum from Gregg Homme. The very well-rounded PERFEKBȖM collection is yet another ground-breaking creation by Gregg Homme that endows the wearer with fuller, better defined buttocks, especially beneath gym pants and similar thin-fabric bottoms. The clever little secret is an elastic string bum outliner sewn just under and behind the pouch, running between both cheeks (but not like a thong – the elastic string runs on the outside of the garment!) and up to the middle back of the waistband. Made from a liquid-touch, hyperstretch microfiber for maximum comfort and minimum worry, the PERFEKBȖM collection is the perfeckt addition to the fashion-forward thinking man’s wardrobe!

Find these at the Gregg Homme Site!

Review -Gregg Homme Glory String Pouch

No Comments

I am reviewing this fantastic Glory String thong by Gregg Homme. This black thong is made of 76% Nylon and 24% Spandex. The waistband and straps around the pouch has the look of rubber or leather. The straps framing the pouch fit perfectly. It seemed as if I had gone to a fitting to have this underwear built for me because the waistband was such a perfect fit. The thong strap was another piece of spandex but with a matte finish and  has more stretch to it than the waistband. The pouch is a very thin and luxuriously soft spandex and seemed like it was a miliskin spandex but the label doesn’t specify. Overall, the materials were a great combination to create this thong. The first thing i did was remove the big white tag sticking out of the back of the waistband. Its easy to rip off and I suggest you do that before wearing them.

So when I put on this thong it immediately felt like it was a second skin and I was going to really put it to the test. First stop was the gym. I did my usual routine of weights, core and running. It doesn’t happen often but I forgot that I had on this thong. The pouch is so soft and stretchy that I never needed to adjust and it is engineered to really hold you in place. After the gym I had tickets to see an Off Broadway show. This is usually the real test for me with a thong. If I can sit through two and a half hours without any discomfort than I know a thong is a keeper and it passed this test. After the show I spent a few hours hanging out with friends before heading home. If Gregg Homme made more color options I might just wear this style everyday. When I got home there was more activity with the thong but this isn’t that kind of site. But let’s just say everyone liked it.

Every guy who is an underwear enthusiast should have own some staple brands in their collection. Some might be more expensive than others but I can’t urge you more to make sure that you have at least one pair of Gregg Homme’s underwear in your drawer. As a man that wears thongs I have always admired the collections they design. There is a masculinity in their work even when it is just a few skimpy straps. I can be very picky when it comes to my thongs. They need to be comfortable, well designed, made from good materials and the craftsmanship needs to be excellent. The Glory String is all that and it still conveys a sensual masculinity. This is not my first pair of Gregg Homme and it certainly won’t be my last.
Pros

  • Great materials
  • Great design
  • Very comfortable

Cons

  • It only comes in one color.
  • Tag sewn into back of waistband could be eliminated or made smaller.

Review: Gregg Homme Voyeur Brief

No Comments

The pair I was lucky enough to review is the Gregg Homme Voyeur Brief.  This is a first time we have reviewed Gregg Homme on the site. It’s part of our week long celebration of the new Gregg Homme line. There will be many fun things this week, so stay tuned!

I will say when I first took the pair out of the envelope I was a little worried. Because the pouch looked a little small and I wasn’t sure I was going to fit in it. This was a worry I should not have had, after many years of seeing them at Curve, I know their fabric stretches and fits your body like a glove!

This pair I wore to work to see how it would hold up during a day. The fabric really was form fitting and a bit sheer. Which to me added to the sexiness of the pair. There is nothing better then wearing a sexy pair of underwear to work to give you a little bit of extra confidence through out the day!

The Voyeur Brief has a very thin waistband and it held up through the day. I was very impressed on this pair. My only complaint and it was a minor one was the tag bothered me a few times but nothing too terrible. The sizing is pretty much spot on and I had no issues at all. If you follow the sizing guide on the Gregg Homme site you should be fine!

These would make a really awesome date night pair of underwear. It is super sexy with a hint of sheer. It made me feel sexy all day. I would definitely recommend this pair for anyone who likes sexy underwear that wears well! It goes back to what I have always said, “Gregg Homme does sexy and does it well.” Unlike some sexy undies these you can wear and are not made to come off after an hour of wearing!

Pros:

  • Fabric was amazing
  • Sheer but not totally see through
  • Sexy done right

Con:

  • Only one was the tag annoyed me about 2-3 times, but wasn’t bad

Review – Pistol Pete Tease Jock Strap

No Comments

The pair I got to review is the Pistol Pete Tease Jock. Having the feeling of support is most important when wearing a jock strap. But having the freedom is also important.

Mostly I have nothing but positive comments to make in regards to this jock strap. First of all, I LOVED the fit. It was very comfortable. At times, it felt as though I was wearing nothing. It was fantastic. The Sheer material was very soft and breathable which I love. The top band doesn’t cut off or restrict your waist. It has a very pleasant feel to it and it also cups your package very well. This Jock Strap feels like you are wearing nothing but yet I still have the support. Also the sheer material keeps you nice and cool down there so you don’t get sweaty as you can with wearing a regular jock strap.

The first and only con I have is that it is made of a thin material so I would be scared for it to rip easily or not being durable. Even though it moves well, if it was to shrink it may rip. But With the material being Sheer and pre shrunk, I don’t think it would rip unless pulled on very hard or getting caught by a sharp object.

Overall, This is a pair of underwear that you can wear daily or wear in sporting events. Just make sure the other boys don’t get too jealous of your jock! I would recommend this to any man that wants to try a jock strap that he can wear with any activity. Or for a man who is just getting into some gear wear. It is so good, that you can wear it wherever and whenever you want!

Pros

  • Great Fit
  • Soft Materials
  • Great pouch

Cons

  • Thin Material

Review – Bum-Chums Sneak Peek Hip Brief

No Comments

The saying usually goes ‘Now you see it, now you don’t’ … but the Bum Chums Sneak Peek briefs let others see it all day long! This particular pair comes in black and features mesh-body brief with their signature, logo waistband. The Waistband is elastane, while the body of the brief is made of nylon and lycra.

I tossed these briefs into my gym bag, knowing that I would be heading out straight from the gym that night for and event before a late dinner. Upon first inspection, I noticed that the rise was slightly lower than a previous pair of Bum Chums I had reviewed a week or two prior. I preferred this lower rise, and also how thin and light the fabric was, fitting nicely under my ‘straight from the dryer’ jeans that night! I always enjoy knowing that I have a fun secret under it all!

Who couldn’t resist a pair of mesh briefs? Especially in a black basic cut like this particular pair! The briefs were quite comfortable, with a soft waistband and elastic trip. I really enjoyed the fact that these had a single-layered pouch; I have noticed that many brand double layer the front of mesh briefs for some reason or another. There is a center seam that runs down the front of the pouch, while the rear is constructed of a single piece. The cut of the brief accentuated my assets quite nicely, however, the pouch didn’t have much of a contour to it, squishing my ‘gents’ quite close to my body … This didn’t look right, I have come to find that for a mesh brief to achieve a certain level of ‘sex appeal,’ they have to have more of a pouch to properly present things up and out, as opposed to compressing them.

Like with all Bum Chums, my only real complaint it the large tag fixed to the outside of the wait band on most of their garments. This tag is far too large, and doesn’t have much of a purpose other than carrying a logo. There is a size and care tag sticker fixed to the inside of the waistband, which is meant to be removed before use, however, I am the first to forget such instructions. The pouch was also not quite roomy enough.

Pros

  • single layered pouch
  • sheer, soft mesh
  • soft waistband

Con’s

  • uneven seaming
  • small pouch
  • front logo tag

 

Fit  3.5
Material  4
Construction  3.5

Review – Bum-Chums In2cooler Air Brief

No Comments

Coming off of a very strong first pair, I’m now ready to conquer another Bum-Chums review. But will it fair as well as its counterpart?

Yes! I’m thoroughly impressed with Bum-Chums so far. Their underwear is sexy, stylish, unique, well built, and not badly priced. The Bum-Chums In2Cooler Air Brief is no exception. Made of a cotton/Lycra/polyamide mesh blend, and available in white, black, and red. This brief encompasses everything that I’m starting to feel Bum-Chums stands for.

Take for example the mesh. Other companies mesh can look trashy, either cheaply made or just being too blunt in what is shown. Bum-Chums (while showing off a great deal in this pair) has found a way to show off the mesh in a very playful and classy way. The mesh is well made, and shaped to show off, but not totally expose.

They are perfect for the average day of wear. I’m not sure I buy into the idea of the mesh cooling your lower bits, but they are quite comfortable even during an early summer picnic.

If Bum-Chums continues in this direction, I’ll have a new favorite brand. They’re fun, sexy, comfortable and always leave me looking forward to the next time that I can wear them (as well as my next pair that I get to review).

  • Comfortable
  • Sexy
  • Playful while still being classy
