I was pretty skeptical when asked to review undies from Male Power. I am not use to extreme undies and, to me, these were EXTREME! When I received them in the mail and showed them to my wife we were both pretty skeptical. She thought they were going to be extremely uncomfortable because of the material. I haven’t tried many thongs but I was given a pair of Grip & Rip Thongs to review from their Extreme Collection. I thought, “Okay, I’ll give them a try and keep an open mind about the whole thing.” With one eyebrow raised, I put them on and wore them all day.
I was concerned about the Velcro bothering my skin or getting caught on other articles of clothing and coming undone. That became a non-issue. I was also worried about placement, but that was soon dismissed. The thong fit nicely and, I must say, it was an all around good experience. The material was a comfortable “cire” – which was new to me. I had to adjust the way I “ride” in undies as the pouch was a little low and the grab strap did not help keeping things in place. I would not recommend these for all day wear as they would be best for a special, plan ahead to wear, event.
Put on the Male Power Extreme Grip and Rip Thong, grab a strap, and hang on tight as it will take you for a wild ride! These are made of matte finished polyester and spandex with an added tear-away front pouch for easy access.

Thanks to Male Power for sending these for us to try. I really enjoyed the Extreme experience and so did my wife later that evening!
Today’s Brief Distraction is from Sweat Under Gear! We haven’t profiled them in a while and thought this picture was perfect for us! I know they are going to have new lines out soon and we will keep you posted when they are released!
I’m sure at one point in your life, you’ve wanted to be a doctor, nurse, or wear a white coat with the purpose of helping people. If that career path didn’t work out, there is always hope of being another kind of nurse: a Knockout Nurse, thanks to Candyman Fashion. Simple, eye-catching, and useful; these three words define the Knockout Nurse underwear to a tee. From the rhinestones to the pouch and the red and white theme, you can’t go wrong with this pair.
92% Polyester and 8% Spandex and some rhinestones are exactly what the doctor ordered. When mixed together, you have the perfect cure for boring underwear. They are equipped with a pouch…a very large pouch actually, and to be honest, I wasn’t accustomed to pouches. You never know how handy pouches are until you don’t have them. Another feature of this pair is the rhinestone RX on the side, not to mention the White Cross on the opposite side. This pair has no problem getting attention.
When I tried them on, I noticed that they are pretty snug and there isn’t any riding up. They are a pretty comfortable pair of underwear. To my surprise, there wasn’t an issue with the rhinestones, which I actually figured would be a problem. I was presently surprised when it wasn’t. This pair survived a full day of class, lying around, and the gym. They held up like a champ. I would definitely recommend this Candyman selection.

Male Power is a designer of sexy underwear for the modern man. We find from their company website that they were created in 1974. I never would have thought they had been around for that long. It was only a few months ago that I first saw a pair in a catalog. They have been shown in various publications during their company lifespan. Out of their vast collection, I was given the Tattoo Mini Short to review.
This was the first pair made by them that I have worn. Immediately after putting them on, I realized that sizing was an issue. I normally wear smalls and that’s what I was supplied. If you are on the upper end of their size ranges, get the next size up. Male Power smalls are 28-30. There were other issues that would have been present other than the size. Even though they were a little snug, they were fine to wear in the beginning of the day. I chose to carry on with my review and hope for the best.
As you can tell by the picture, the waistband is almost non-existent. The waistband measures .86 in (2.22 cm). I, personally, am used to a wider waistband because of the cut-in issue. The same material is used in the leg openings. I, like many of our readers, have thick thighs and need more forgiving material in that area. Over the period of time I wore this pair, the piping material began to cut into my thighs. I can’t deal with this on any underwear and so I took them off halfway through a work shift.
The material used to make the mini short was a great choice. I loved the feel against my skin. The material is made of 85% nylon and 15% spandex. This combination allows for a bit of stretch. There is a pouch design incorporated into the front of the short. Whether that allows for enough room is per the individual. It was OK with me. I’m not really a fan of the print, but that is totally up to the wearer. Some of the seams should be looked at when producing the product as there were some spots where the stitching was questionable as to how long it would hold out in daily wear.
As long as the size works with the wearer, I don’t see any problems with daily wear. The material is comfortable and it gives a fair amount under normal circumstances. The care instructions advise to wash in cool water (no bleach) and tumble dry cool. It would probably be better to simply hang them to dry. I don’t know of anyone that drys anything cool.

If you would like to try a pair of Male Power underwear, you can purchase them from many different sites including http://www.abcunderwear.com or you can buy them in retailers in your area. In the Atlanta area, I know that Poster Hut carries a large selection of Male Power briefs, thongs, and other styles.
These shorts were provided by Male Power for our review.
Everyone and everything has a modest side and Candyman Fashion is no exception. The 9515 Boxer is one of their more modest pairs and even someone as exciting as me needs a break now and then to enjoy some simple, but enjoyable, boxer briefs. Though I did say simple, they are quite shiny and in the right light, they are a little see-through. When you have them on, you don’t have to worry about anything being seen.
This pair is made of 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex, all of which is again, very shiny, almost a little too shiny for my likings. Since I wear pants over them, it’s not that big of a deal. There is a simple design on the front of red horizontal stripes on the legs that connect to a black pouch, all with a bit of glitter to them. Surround that with a silver background and you have yourself a modest pair of underwear.
When it comes to actually wearing the pair, the 9514 is a little loose and it has an interesting feel. I can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s a tight feel, even though the pair is somewhat loose. Don’t let that deter you, however, from giving the 9514 a try. They are still a great pair of underwear. If you would like a good fitting, comfortably simple, and modest pair, I would certainly recommend that you go and buy the 9514 Boxer!

I promised myself back in January that I wasn’t going to purchase any new underwear until after my holiday to Australia in April – kind of needed to do some serious saving! However a 40% weekend extravaganza sale on Calvin Klein underwear soon changed my mind and I went and purchased two pairs of their new X range. I went for two pairs of the cotton trunks version in black and neon pink – the latter colour only appears to be available in the UK at the moment!
I’ve given the underwear a thorough testing on your behalf, having worn them a number of times and in a variety of circumstances (at work, working out, walking round and simply lounging round the apartment) and with a range of clothing (gym gear, work clobber and casual clothing) and all I can say is these are some seriously comfy underwear.
The soft and stretchy cotton/modal material helps shape the trunks to your body whilst keeping everything nicely supported all day long. The wide waistband is made from a soft touch material and feels great against your body. The trunks fit well, although they do suffer from the usual leg rising issue when I was working out in them, but the soft material means they don’t really become uncomfortable. Having said that, it really is a minor niggle on a great pair of underwear.
Overall I was really impressed with these trunks – they are seriously comfy, fit well and are suitable for use in all circumstances. Will I be buying more? Definitely!

If you have been looking for an underwear company who specializes in a wide variety of underwear, we believe we have found that company for you. Candyman offers the modern man a chance to express himself in a new line of fashions. Whether you want to be a police officer, a tux wearing gentleman, or a dirty devil, they offer the perfect selection of patterns and appropriate accessories. If there is something we believe in at UNB, it’s that men should express their inner selves. There’s no better way to do that than pull on a pair of Candyman underwear and be your inner fantasy man.
Recently, I wore the Sailor Brief in size medium. I normally wear a small (31” waist), but after speaking with a fellow reviewer, I chose the medium. Going one size up in most underwear brands means loose briefs. The fit was perfect for me with no drooping, no binding, and staying in place wasn’t an issue.
The cut allowed for perfect coverage. I don’t know if this would be called a full brief but I would not call it a hip brief. However corny it may sound, I would call it an awesome brief. Made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex, the material is smooth to the touch and allows for a fair amount of stretch. The wash instructions are to wash separately, do not bleach (of course), and to drip dry. That can be taken in different ways, but my mind would believe they mean hand wash. The material is not the only aspect of the underwear that would lead me to believe these should be hand washed.
A gold chain is located on the pouch underneath the waistband. This addition to the brief is questionable. The chain’s only purpose is aesthetic and is held on by one or two loops of thread through the underwear material…not the waistband. This can easily be broken off in the wash. I personally had a few issues with the chain while wearing the brief when in the restroom. The chain would get in the way when lifting up the tucked in shirt and pulling down the waistband. Another reason to be careful with washing is the anchor on the left leg. The glitter substance used to create the symbol, over time, may deteriorate from the harsh washing detergents. My personal suggestion is to hand wash these delicates and then hang them up to dry.
The Sailor Brief is a great feeling brief and one that will make a seaman out of you whenever the mood strikes. Minus some construction issues, this is a nice brief to add to your collection. Would I think this brief is a daily wear brief? Maybe if you are careful. Make sure you watch for the chain when reaching in to the fly of your pants.

Thanks to Candyman for supplying these briefs for review.
We had some new undies come out in the past week or so.
Dry & Naked Sports Thong with Show-It Technology
This is one of the few thongs I have seen from Andrew Christian. Its one that have a very interesting styling. To me it reminds me of kind of a half thong in the back. The front has the Show-It technology in the pouch. I think it’s something to really check out if you’re a thong guy. Here is the description from the Andrew Christian Website:
A brand new addition to the Dry & Naked line. This sports thong is made from super moisture wicking patented fabric. The back panel of the thong is designed so the center strap won’t ride up and become uncomfortable. The sides and back are white and the cup is contrasted in grey.
Wolf Athletic Supporter
I know we have quite a few Jockstrap lovers out there. And the search for a really cool and affordable fashion jock is one that many of you do. I have checked some prices of jocks and they can be quite expensive, up to $25 a piece. Well our friends at Jockstrap Central have found a fashion jock company that is affordable and it looks awesome. They have the traditional jock styling with the wide waistband. Colors available are Blue, Black and white. One thing I think will make these jocks awesome are they are made with 95% cotton/5% spandex blend. If you are a true jock lover then check these out, exclusively at Jockstrap Central!
Diesel Reverse Logo Brief
I think if you’re a long time reader of the blog, you know I”m a fan of really cool waistbands. This holds true with the new Diesel Reverse Brief. They just ran the name backwards in the waist band. I saw these on the International Jock website and loved them. The waistband is 1.5 inches wide. So it’s a rather wide band for most people. They also have made a trunk in the same. Both styles are made with the 95% cotton/5% cotton blend, so you know they will have a great fit. Check out all the pairs at International Jock
