My Second outing on my Enhancement Underwear journey was with the Andrew Christian Shockjock Flirt Brief. This particular style is what inspired me to start thinking about the different styles of enhancing undies. When I first saw Shockjock Flirt Brief I thought “This has gone too far!” Andrew Christian is one of my favorite brands, so put my initial thoughts aside and gave them a try.
The Shockjock brief, according to Andrew Christian, can add up to 2 inches ( 5cm ) to your frontal measurement. This enhancement is accomplished by means of an insert which they call the “Active Shaping Technology Cup.” This “cup” is inserted into the brief in a pouch. This cup is essentially a padding that is shaped to look like a man’s bulge.
As with virtually every pair of Andrew Christian I have worn, the Shockjock brief was extremely comfortable. It is made of 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex so the stretch is apparent.
Here are my thoughts on the Shockjock Flirt Brief:
Final Thought – My second wear of the pair I did without the cup insert in place. This is how I will wear this pair in the future–just another comfortable stylish Andrew Christian design that is better off without the cup gimmick.
These were furnished by Andrew Christian for review. You can find them on the Andrew Christian
Site!
Erogenos has some great new undies from Papi and N2N Bodywear. If you aren’t familiar with Erogenos you need to check them out. They believe that undies should be fun and they should match you personality as well. You won’t find much boring there! Great customer service and free shipping are the two best reasons to check them out!
But back to the undies, they have the new Papi line that was just released. The pair featured is Ibeza Plaid trunk. I personally am loving the plaid. Just a really fun pair. While the N2N Bodyweaar is part of the new swimwear collection. N2N always does some really cool undies and swimwear that will show off what you got!
I hope you go check it out and find some new undies at Erogenos
We bring you an UNB original Brief Distraction. This is the model for Good Boy Gone Bad. He was very popular on our facebook page and in the Good Boy Gone Bad video! We hope you enjoy it. I realized I didn’t post a lot of pics from Magic/Curve on the blog so we’ll post a few as Brief Distractions coming up!
I have owned a few pairs of Aussiebum’s line of Wonderjock briefs. Needless to say I was excited to try their new line of Wonderjock Pro. The Wonderjock Pro, at first glance, looks just like the older version of the Wonderjock. As soon as you feel the fabric though, the difference is clear. The Pro is much softer and has a “stretchier” feel than its predecessor. The style is traditional Aussiebum with their signature logo waistband and colored piping along the borders of the brief.
The enhancing effect is once again, like the original Wonderjock, accomplished by a sewn in pouch in the front to which you put your entire package. The Pro feels much more comfortable than the original, and allows for more movement so you don’t feel so compressed. Aussiebum is using the term “free swing technology” which I think is a fitting name and a praiseworthy upgrade from the previous design. I was comfortable all day and never once felt like I was wearing anything but traditional stretchy underwear. The enhancing the briefs provide is noticeable but not laughable. The Wonderjock Pro provided with a boost but no one would be the wiser that you are wearing enhancement briefs.
Here’s how I rated the Wonderjock Pro:
These were furnished for review by aussieBum. They can be bought at the aussieBum site.
Andrew Christian is having some really great sales lately. Today is no exception. The pair on sale for the next 48 Hours is the Almost Naked Varsity Boxer. Almost Naked line is one of my favorites of the Andrew Christian line. It’s ergonomically designed underwear that has no hidden cups or padding. It’s regular price is $32.00 and the sale price is $26.56. Buy it from the Andrew Christian Shop.
The latest trend in men’s underwear is enhancing underwear. Virtually every brand and line is experimenting in ways to boost, well, a man’s confidence. I thought it might be a wise and fun idea to more closely examine what some of the different companies are offering and really put them to the test.
Different companies use various ways to plump up your front; I’ve seen everything from slings and rings, straps and pouches and even padding. With all these options out there, someone was going to have to wade through them and find out what does what, and what does it well. Yes UNB readers, I shall put my goods through the trials and tribulations and give you my honest opinion on what these enhancing undies can do for your junk.
I will evaluate the different pairs using several criteria. Each pair will be rated in fit, comfort, enhancing factor, and a little something I’ve come up with called the “fraud factor”. The Fraud Factor is simply this: should someone be intrigued by your newly enhanced front, how embarrassing or awkward will it be to a) remove your boys from the various contraptions and b) explain the sudden deflation. A score of 0 means that no one would be the wiser, but a 5 is equivalent to gym socks stuffed down your front.
So far I’ve had a blast with this little side project and I hope you will find it to “enhance” our postings here on the site! Look for reviews starting this week!
Today’s Brief Distraction is from ES Collection. This is part of their 2011 Underwear Collection. ES Collection does some amazing work in the world of men’s underwear! We will be bringing a few of these too you!
It’s Tuesday so that means one thing, Baskit $12 Tuesday! This week’s pair is the SnugFit Seamless Trunk. If you like underwear that is not “bulky” then check these out! This pair is on sale until midnight, remember just go the Special section on the Baskit Website
When I first received this jockstrap, the words that entered my mind were, ‘you’ve got to be kidding’. However, being the open-minded person that I self-proclaim, I was open to trying the innovated design and construction that sets this manufacturer apart from their counterparts. Based on the quality of materials and traditional style of the typical jockstrap, something convinced me that it couldn’t all be wrong.
This particular line designed by Intymen called ‘Fill It’ consists of a built in c-ring that is sown into the pouch that provides a comfortable and and yet supportive feature, which turns up the sex appeal without compromising the functionality of a jockstrap. The exterior portion of the pouch includes two lateral slots on either side providing easy access to your goods. As intended, this jock provides a lifting effect and enhances your overall package.
I pushed the envelope a bit and gave this jock a real workout at the gym recently. It provided adequate support as a good jock should and still felt comfortable and unobtrusive in supporting the goods. I guess it comes to no surprise considering that these are constructed with 92% cotton and 8% Spandex. Likewise, the pouch is trimmed in black along with the company’s signature name across the front of the waist band. I was totally pleased with the visual appeal and fit of this jock which says a lot for a guy who prefers the traditional trunk for everyday underwear.
In summary, with warmer weather just days ahead for most of us, if you’re looking for a new jock to add to your spring collection, you might strongly consider this manufacture. However, if you’re simply looking to add some sex appeal to your underwear collection, Intymen also provides a variety of additional jockstraps, thongs and several see through pieces.
Personal scoring as follows:
| Fit: | 4.5 |
| Materials: | 5.0 |
| Construction: | 5.0 |
| Look: | 4.5 |
| Daily Wear: | 4.5 |
| Overall: | 4.7 |
This jockstrap was provided by Underwear Station and can be purchased from various vendors listed on their website at the following: http://www.underwearstation.com
In the world of underwear it seems there can’t be much new. But then someone comes out with a pair you never thought was possible. The same goes for technology. Skiviez is doing something that is pretty awesome, they have created a mobile site to shop for undies on your phone. This is one of the few sites I have seen from an underwear company that is specifically for mobile devices.
Skiviez has created a site that is pretty easy to navigate and has a big selection. In my real life I work in marketing and deal with social media and emerging media. So, I am quite familiar with mobile and what is happening in the space. Currently very few companies are really utilizing mobile sites. Here in the US anything mobile is still a new thing. Skiviez has always been on the cutting edge, it’s awesome to see an underwear company venture into a new territory.
The mobile Skiviez site is very easy to navigate. I played around with it this morning and you will be able to find underwear easily. From the main page you can see the following categories: brands, sales, styles, new and top sellers. But you are not limited to just these, you can also search for a particular pair. Let’s say you were out at a bar and someone told you about a new pair of Baskit, you can open your phone’s browser, find it on the site and ask the friend if that is the right pair! Underwear shopping never was so easy!
Once you get to the pair you want simply click the pair. Then you will be brought to the product page. On that page, we couldn’t have said it better then ourselves, this is from the Skiviez blog: “we display only the most pertinent information without the fluff: images, fabric information, and customer reviews.” You will not have to wade through tons of info and there is nothing worse then trying to read a lot of info on your phone.
Once you found the perfect pair or pairs you need to buy them. They have two options buy directly on your phone or computer. If you choose to buy on your phone you can check out through PayPal or Google Check out. But, say you are somewhere and you don’t have time to break out your credit card and put in all the info, and you don’t want to shop all over. In this case you can email your shopping cart to yourself or a friend to complete the order process on a computer. To use this feature, when in your cart use “Email Cart.” Instructions will be sent how to finish the order. Don’t worry, any email used in this feature will not be added to the email list. You must opt in on your own!
Lastly, once your order is placed you can use the phone to track orders. I know many of you are like me, you placed and order and takes longer then expected. Again, if like me a day is longer then expected, cause you want it NOW! But the US Postal service, UPS or FedEx work at their own speeds sometime. The mobile site will let you track your order and you will know exactly when your new undies will arrive.
If you have an internet enabled phone I highly recommend you check out the Skiviez mobile site. It doesn’t matter if you have an iPhone, Android, Blackberry or what ever! You just need a mobile browser and time to shop! To get to the mobile site just go to the regular Skiviez site, http://www.skiviez.com and you will be automatically redicrected!
The pictures in this post were taken from my phone. I will say this is one of the best mobile sites I have seen. It’s very easy to navigate, has just the right amount of info and its UNDIES! I hope you will check it out. GOOD JOB SKIVIEZ!
We bring you another picture from photographer Shaun Simpson. This time its model Scott wearing a one piece from American Apparel. We hope you enjoy
