Review: Male Power Mesh Pouch Short

No Comments

It’s been a long while since I reviewed my last pair of Male Power underwear.  Unfortunately, this time is not going to be any better.  I understand making men’s underwear more sexy and intriguing, but there really is a line where things aren’t as intended.  I’ve never been a fan of mesh clothing.  I do own a pair some would consider mesh, but the holes are farther apart and the brief is not totally see through.  The air flow is as unhindered as this mesh material without the less attractive look and uncomfortable feel.

The construction of this pair is quite uncomfortable to me.  The waistband, the leg openings, and the piping around the pouch have this leather-like shiny material that gives very little room for stretching.  It feels like there is a bit of elastic underneath the material.  The waistband, about ¾ inches (2 cm), cuts into the skin the longer they are worn, along with the leg openings, leading me to the fact that these wouldn’t be good for all day wear.

It saddens me that this pair of underwear did not work for me.  Being an occasional kilt wearer, I like the feel of the breeze wafting around the manly parts and this would have been perfect.  If worn with some type of support underneath, mesh-type underwear is preferable, whether it is a jock, thong, briefs, or this square cut design.  I wore my kilt not long ago at a local Renaissance festival and seriously thought about wearing them to give them another chance.  I couldn’t bring myself to wear them when remembering back to the first time I tried to wear them.  I couldn’t wear them for eight hours without pulling them off and stuffing them into my pocket.

By all means, if you like mesh underwear, try this pair for yourself.  This pair may work for you and turn out to be a favorite.  Even if this pair was not mesh, the construction doesn’t work for me.  You can purchase a pair from this line and others made by Male Power from their website at www.malepower.com.

Review: Candyman 9525 Black Brief

No Comments

I have written an article in the past for Candyman.  It was the seaman brief with the chain and anchor pattern.  I loved the fit of that selection.  This brief, known only as the 9525 brief, failed to deliver that same great fit.

The overall look of the brief is great.  I can definitely see the sex appeal it would create.  Actually, just before writing this article, a very handsome gentleman I’m acquainted with put them on for a little modeling session.  I have to say with his skin tone, his lovely Italian body hair, and his great build, this pair of underwear looked fantastic and would easily take the breath away from any onlooker.  The pouch, generously filled….the rear, greatly accentuated.

But, I digress.  When I wore the brief, its construction seemed a bit far fetched.  The back wasn’t as uncomfortable as the front.  There is a stretchable seam that runs from the top of the pouch under and up to the waistband in the back.  The seam sits neatly in the crack, but it irritates the manly parts in the pouch.  It basically tells your rod, “Hey, pick a side!”  For those men who are more endowed, the seam will serve as a nice attribute as it allows the pouch to expand outward.  I felt it to be unnecessary for me and a cause for irritation.  As with a previously reviewed pair of underwear, these briefs had to be taken off before I arrived back home.

The brief is made of 90% nylon and 10% Spandex, making a nice stretchy and smooth combination.  The waistband is 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) and doesn’t cut in at all.  That’s always good!  Not taking the seam into consideration, the brief feels awesome.  It is definitely a brief I would love to feel against me all day.

Review: Mundo Unico Fresco

1 Comment

Mundo Unico always makes good stuff and the Fresco is certainly an example of that fact.  Being form fitting, it’s extremely comfortable and rather stylish.  This is a perfect pair of underwear and it’s always a treat to wear.  If you’re someone that likes athletic shorts and whatnot, then you will love this underwear.

The pair survived the typical test and it did so with flying colors.  It was nothing but the best from Unico.  That wasn’t unexpected.  I attribute most of that to the design that Unico has mastered and the unique mix of 82% Nylon and 18% Spandex.  This is one of those rare pairs that earned a five on each rating for good reason.

Unico knows how to make seriously good underwear. It’s super comfortable and the pouch isn’t intrusive.  It’s not so much a pouch as it is great front support.  The other part is the breathability.  The mesh factor is something I really enjoyed and haven’t seen much of in underwear these days.

Review: Croota Denim Blue Tang BT01

No Comments

It’s pretty amazing what some companies are doing these days with their underwear designs.  Croota is definitely one of those amazing companies.  The Blue Tang is a work of art in itself with its unique outside design.  Combine it with the stitching, logo, and waistband and you have yourself one awesome pair of underwear.

As you may or may not know, Croota is what I would consider a “sassy brand”, or one that gives little thought to the opinions of others, giving it an awesome factor. You have the wittiness on the site and you also have it in the underwear label itself. Check this new brand out.  It’s going to explode soon!

Just like the other Croota pair I’ve reviewed, this is made of 95% cotton and 5% Spandex, yet it looks like no other underwear.  It’s really stunning and sticks out when you open the undies drawer, causing it to be one of the first pairs worn every time you make a choice.  If you’re looking for that pair of underwear to complete your collection and at a price that won’t break the bank, check out the Blue Tang!

Review: Croota Neo Night Black NN02

No Comments

Though it may seem I am wowed often, I’m actually not.  That is, except for now!  I have one of the greatest pairs of underwear imaginable.  The brand gives a middle finger to the world style.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, head to their homepage at http://croota.com and you’ll see.

Speaking of that middle finger to the world, there’s a bit of humor as well as some serious individuality.  What’s that humor you ask?  You’ll have to find out for yourself.  It’s on the label and it should give you quite a laugh.  The waistband is cool with the right amount of accentuation with the mixture of red, black, and white.

This fine pair is constructed of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, equaling 100% of harmony.  I cannot get over how comfortable and natural feeling it is.  This stuff is perfect and the prices can’t be beat.  If you’re looking for some great underwear from down under, perfect for your down under, then look no further than the Croota Neo Night collection.

New Geovanni Underwear at 10Percent.com

No Comments

Geovanny is another one I got to meet at Magic. He’s a former dancer turned underwear designer. I know I sound like a broken record, but he’s doing some really great designs in underwear. I think we are going through like a renaissance in men’s underwear. I mean every time you turn around lately someone is doing something with color, patter or design. Geovanny is no exception. 10Percent.com has the new line of Geovanny underwear!

The reason I really love these is I think the designs really flatter a guy. I thin the placement of the seams really accent and show off all his assets. He has designed them with the seams in front that give it a really great looking pouch. I think he took the time out to really think about underwear should fit a man. I really like them and hope we get to see a lot more about him soon!

You can get Geovanny from 10Percent.com. We hope you will check these about and let us know what you think of the line! The top picture is the Geovanny Alexander Boy Brief. The three pics below is the Geovanny “Geovanny” Brief, the last one is the Geovanny Alexander Boy Brief

Review: Croota Beige Surfers Paradise BSF02

1 Comment

It’s that time of the year…Summer!  More importantly, swimwear time is upon us.  If you’re like me, then your collection has quite a few new swimsuits from down under, most being shorter than your usual American swimsuit.

Croota is a new, shorter swimwear collection.  One of two pairs I’ve received, the Surfers Paradise, is quite interesting.  Being someone that has never worn a shorter-than-board short swimsuit, I’ve been pleasantly surprised and I definitely recommend this pair to all who need to spice up their swimwear collection!

This interesting pair of swimwear is made of 85% Cotton and 15% Spandex, making for a quite comfortable combination.  Granted, I’m not completely sure what it is, but there is a second layer of material on the front that seems to be extra protection against visibility of the front.  I may be completely wrong.  That gives this pair a sort of hidden feature style that I like.  Head on over to Croota.com and check it out!
