The 8th Annual National Underwear Day launches today and two of the newest names in underwear are making their big debut, Piss & Vinegar and Expose Underwear.

Piss & Vinegar is the new underwear line from the team that started Ginch Gonch.  It is named after an old phrase seething with sarcasm and is a modern, expressive range of briefs, trunks and jock straps.

Expose is one of the hottest brands in Colombia, offering a sporty line of trunks, briefs, thongs and jock straps in sleek fabrics that range from silky, to sheer, to completely see-through.

Creative Director Jason Sutherland says, “A lot of what we offer caters to the guy who likes to express himself through his underwear, so whether it’s bold colors and graphics or a more revealing style, his underwear can do all the talking.”

Piss and Vinegar and Expose are proud to be the lead sponsors of National Underwear Day. Founded by Freshpair in 2003, National Underwear Day is a yearly holiday that gives people all around the country a chance to celebrate what’s hidden the other 364 days. Past festivities have ranged from Times Square takeovers, where underwear-clad models mingled with tourists and New Yorkers alike, to star-studded underwear runway shows.

As part of this years event, Freshpair is giving away 5,000 pairs of underwear from the best and brightest brands.

80% of Americans never change their style of underwear.  60% of those that do don’t wear underwear that properly fits.   “We figured the best way to get people to try a new style is to put it right in their hands, no strings attached,” says Freshpair President Michael Kleinmann.

Piss & Vinegar and Expose Underwear are on sale exclusively at Freshpair.com until August 15th.

Find Piss & Vinegar and Expose Underwear on Facebook, as well as the National Underwear Day at the Fresh Pair page

Hi guys.  I’m Wayne, and although I spend a lot of time on the site, this is my first time reviewing.  In other words, bear with me!

Recently, I purchased a pair of the Andrew Christian “Show-It” thongs.  I know what some of you are saying right off the bat.  “OMG!  That’s enhancing underwear!”  Why, yes it is.  I work in retail as a department manager, sometimes putting in 13 hours a day.  I need a pair of briefs to provide the right amount of support so I don’t have to make the dreaded “crotch adjustment” in public.  That was my reasoning behind this purchase.

Andrew Christian underwear is made in the good old U.S.A.  Maybe someone at AC likes me, but every time I place an order, even though I pay for the regular USPS ground shipping, someone bucks it up to priority shipping without charging me anything extra.  No complaints here!

These undies are made from 90% cotton and 10% spandex.  The cotton makes them breathable while the spandex provides support in all the right areas.  The waistband is only a mere 1 1/4″ with the “anti-muffin top elastic”.  The designers hit the mark.  Personally, I can’t stand elastic that bunches up or rolls over during the course of the day.

The “show-it” technology incorporates a cotton pouch for your junk.  Slide them on, and with one adjustment, you’re pretty much good to go.  It kept my package in place all day without me having to make the any adjustments.

I’ve worn these underwear two times since receiving them.  They look great and feel just as wonderful (that is, if you’re into wearing a thong, which I can understand if that’s not your style).  I was at work during both times I’ve worn them.  The first time was for only an eight hour shift.  No problems and   comfy all day long.  The second time I wore them, it was for a longer day…a 13 hour shift.

I feel the thong strap could have been cut a bit longer because after many hours, they were becoming a little uncomfortable.  I powered on, however, and made it through the day.  I’d have to say that for a regular day, or a night out on the town, you’ll be fine and comfy the entire time.  Depending on how tight you pull up the thong back, you may want to rethink your choice if you’re going to be wearing them as long as I did.

We reported this on the Facebook page but here’s the official announcement. The question is will he do underwear ads like Jim Palmer did back in the day? We will see..

Jockey International, Inc. today announced that pro football quarterback Tim Tebow has agreed to a multi-year contract in which Tebow will serve as a Jockey spokesperson beginning in July, 2010.

“Tim is a highly gifted athlete with a positive attitude and an admirable character,” remarked Jockey Chairman and CEO Debra S. Waller. “We at Jockey see a very bright future with Tim, and believe that he is an excellent representative for the brand. Tim is genuine, smart and driven and those qualities align well with Jockey. We look forward to building a long and collaborative relationship with him in the coming years.”

“I’m excited to represent the Jockey brand and to work with such an innovative company,” said Tebow. “I’ve long been a fan and consumer of Jockey, and think they make a quality product with a great fit. I’m looking forward to a great relationship with such a respectable company.”

Tebow will work with several of Jockey’s lines, including the Jockey® “Staycool” collection, which launches in spring 2011. Tebow will be featured in Jockey’s catalog, TV and print advertisements and on jockey.com. Jockey and Tebow will also collaborate on unique content for social media platforms.

Tim Tebow was a first round NFL draft pick in 2010. In college he won two national championships and was the first ever sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. He also was a two-time winner of the Maxwell Award as the nation’s top college football player, as well as the winner of the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s best college quarterback, and the James E. Sullivan Award as the nation’s most outstanding amateur athlete in any sport.

Andrew Christian is probably the brand that has a chance to make designer underwear mainstream.  Usually, I really like the brand because it fits and feels great.  This pair looks great, but I did have a few issues with the pouch technology.  Those issues aside, it was a pretty good pair of underwear.  If you love pouch underwear that makes you use the pouch, then you’ll love this pair.

Like usual, the fabric is 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex.  That’s always a good combination.  I really enjoy the piping on the side.  The waistband is also comfortable with the Anti-Muffin technology.

I put these through the daily grind and I was actually a bit disappointed.  I know underwear companies these days keep putting pouches in underwear.  Frankly, I do not know why.  I find them to be terribly annoying and extremely uncomfortable.  I only know of a few companies, or pairs even, that manage to get it right.  If you have the pouch design, you need to make it so that you don’t have to use the pouch if desired.

That being said, it’s still a pretty decent pair of underwear.  Like I said before, if you like the pouch, then you’ll probably love this pair.  If you don’t like the pouch, then you won’t.  It’s all up to the wearer.

Summer 2010 is upon us.  I sure hope you have something exciting to wear to the beach and the pool this year.  If you don’t, there’s no need to worry!  There is still hope coming to you from Croota.

The White Austar sports some pretty awesome designs.  Each section has some sort or writing or logo, giving you a total of four to complete a seriously awesome look. It’s a great looking pair and though white swimwear has a special place in my heart, this pair has an even more special place where it’s well deserved.

Like the other pair of Croota swimwear I have, this pair is made of 85% cotton and 15% Spandex.  It has what I think is something to protect the privates from showing when the suit gets wet.  With that nifty add-on, it’s a really comfortable swimsuit.  You should check out this pair.  With its great price, you will definitely want to add it to your collection.

You can get the Austar low-cut hipster in white or khaki from Croota’s website at http://croota.com.  A full range of sizes is available from S-XL.

Croota provided me with this pair of underwear to review.

Masculine, sexy and athletic are the words that come to mind for all Nasty Pig jockstraps but they kicked it up with the all new Takedown Jock surpassing their standard of excellence and as to be expected, they are now available on Jockstrap Central.

This jock has incredible styling using their iconic Nasty Pig pig logo front and center with complimentary contrasting dual racing stripes both down the center of the pouch and across the waistband. Complimentary piping edging the jockstrap pouch finishes off the whole design for a touch of pure class. It’s those little details that set Nasty Pig apart from the rest.

Incredible styling aside, like all Nasty Pig jockstraps that have come before, the Takedown Jock is one of the most comfortable and well made jockstraps you’ll ever own – made with a super soft durable ribbed cotton with just a hint of spandex to maintain the perfect fit. It also includes a super plushed 1 and 3/4 inch waistband with 3/4 inch leg straps to keep your boys all happy and in place.

The Takedown jock comes in three slick variations – red and black, white and black, and yellow and black so make sure you get over to Jockstrap Central and grab all three!”
