2wink Australia, one of Australia’s most popular men’s underwear companies, knows who understands underwear best – those who buy it. Keeping that in mind, the brand has now enlisted the help of this supportive demographic to discover the brand’s newest collection – by having them create it themselves.
The brand’s current promotional campaign, “A Chance 2Design,” will offer underwear fanatics a fun and innovative opportunity to find their inner fashionista by allowing them to design their very own pair of limited-edition underwear with a chance to win large prizes, such as a AU$200 2wink gift voucher, or even a grand prize of AU$1,500 cash.
Starting today, contestants can either manually or digitally design an entire pair of underwear and enter their original designs into the online design competition.
After the eight-week-long submissions process ends, three celebrity judges, including reality TV star Jack Mackenroth (Project Runway), award-winning comedienne Deven Green (“Welcome to My…” parody series) and Pinstripe Magazine Editor-in-Chief Marv Valladares, will enter various rounds of judging over the course of two weeks before selecting the winning design, taking into account factors like the best use of color, most creative pattern and other criteria.
Once the winning design is chosen by the team of judges, the brand expects to have 5,000 limited-edition pairs manufactured within eighteen weeks and ready to hit 2wink’s on-line store shelves shortly after. 2wink will donate 50-percent of its net sales profits of the winning design directly to fight prostate cancer. Currently, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, behind only lung cancer. A non-smoking man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma and kidney cancer combined. This year, in America alone, more than 32,000 men will die from the disease and more than 218,000 new cases will be diagnosed, according to Prostate Cancer Foundation.
Contest entries must be received no later than August 26, 2010. All original designs are eligible and contestants must design the entire pair. All colors are allowed and the waistband width is 4 cm. Entries must be submitted via e-mail in either .pdf or .jpg format to events@2wink.com.au.
All designs entered will become the property of 2wink Pty. Ltd., which reserves the right to manufacture any design without compensation or with notifying the entrant. The winner of the contest must be willing to sign a release form. Entries must include name, mailing address and contact details for participant.

We have had our eye on Andrew Christian for quite a while and had full intentions of eventually bringing his jockstraps in, but due to the overwhelming request for them during our recent survey we made the call and they are now in stock.
We’ve launched with two of his hottest styles in two colors both featuring Andrew Christian’s Show-it boosting technology. Here’s some more info:

The leg openings are trimmed in contrast color piping for a classic male look. This masculine athletic mesh offers more than just a hint of provocative transparency and has a slight sheen to catch the light. One inch wide waistband and 7/8th of an inch leg straps are made of a super plush elastic with the Andrew Christian logo.
DRY N’ NAKED: This patented Moisture Wicking Jock from Andrew Christian features Dry Mesh which dries 4x faster than cotton, doesn’t discolor and virtually eliminates odors. This jockstrap also includes the Show-it double pouch technology with super soft elastic one inch waistband and 7/8th of an inch leg straps.

Here is another great shot from Karim Konrad. I really love his creativity in his work. He’s mixing things all the time, this time it’s cowboy and underwear. I hope you enjoy
The retro gym short made by Andrew Christian will leave much to the imagination whether you are running, walking, or working out at the gym. These are the equivalent to the traditional ‘daisy dukes’. While these sporty shorts are made out of 100% fast dry moisture wicking polyester sports mesh, which provides a cool masculine look in my humble opinion, they are too short to be taken seriously. Okay, I totally get the retro style that AC is trying to achieve but honestly, there’s a fine line between looking like a caricature from the movie Bruno and looking masculine.
My first tryout with this sassy pair included wearing the silver/black shorts while outdoors. The cut is too tight, short, and honestly, look like girl shorts. In an effort to remain fair and subjective, there are a few things I do like about this style. First, the white drawstring is located inside the shorts…a real positive for me. Traditionally drawstrings outside of some shorts are a bit bulky when tied and can be plain distracting at times. Secondly, the black seam along the side and bottom of the shorts give them a nice contrasting and finished look.
This particular style of Andrew Christian retro shorts comes in light blue/burgundy, navy/kelly, black/gold, and silver/black. You’ll find the small Andrew Christian woven red and white signature cross logo located in the front left of the shorts.

We bring you another AWESOME picture from Karim Konrad. He supplied us with a bunch of pictures and i hope you are enjoying them.
Australian manufacturer, Boys and their Hardwear, continues to deliver on their eclectic and inventive style of briefs with their Pornstar brief. These definitely are marketed to us guys who enjoy a little shock factor reaction when showing off a sporty brief. As if the brand name wasn’t enough, they’ve created a brief that includes a stenciled filmstrip of hot, red lips across mid hip with the word, ‘Pornstar’ traveling across the top of the strip.
These meet the standard expectation of any traditional white brief as they are well constructed with a combination of fixed fabrics comprised of 90% organic cotton and 10% spandex. Likewise, these are extremely comfortable and offer an open fly contour pouch for convenience and support. I found the elastic waistband to be just the right width to provide the appropriate support and keep these in place. The red colored trim really offers an extra pop and sizzle to these sexy whitie tighties.
While I’m not a huge fan of the traditional white brief, they do create the appropriate fantasy that we can all attest to in our pursuit of the perfect job. If you’re looking for something a little different that offers the right balance of style, construction, and a surprised reaction, these are due serious consideration.

In reviewing several underwear manufacturers over the past couple of months, there’s one common denominator I have found with those who are based and construct their products in the US. It can be summed up in two words…well constructed! I have several N2N pair of underwear in an array of styles and they are consistently made well and fit perfectly as designed. N2N’s recent pair, the Freedom Bikini, is no different.
I wore these all day and to the gym in the evening and found them extremely comfortable. Another observation is that these are very conducive to warmer weather as they offer extra freedom and breathable cotton that makes these cooler than your traditional pair of bikini briefs. The baby ribbed material provides an extra sporty and textured look that gives their vibrant color an extra added visual punch (also available in red).
The spandex elastic waistband provides the appropriate support. Likewise, the matching horizontal blue colored stripe along with the complementally red stripe adds an extra element, making these briefs both visually appealing and functional. My only wish is that the front and back cotton panels included a little spandex or Lycra to give these a more polished look and ultimately a longer life. I suspect that over time, the cotton will stretch out and not retain its intended shape and support.
