The Twitter dumpster fire rages, and someone pours gasoline to enflame the fire. When this happens, I wonder when it will finally implode, and the kingdom will come crashing down. This is also bad for the underwear community because Twitter is a big space to connect and share with other guys online.
Over the last few months, we have seen some Twitter alternatives come and not entirely take off—sites like Hive and Mastodon. We also have new services like BlueSky come on to the scene. However, I have given Mastodon a second look and Wanted to share a few tips on navigating the site.
The site design is horrible – Yes, I admit that the site design is terrible. It’s not as “elegant” as Twitter or other sites. Another super confusing is logging in on the server you signed up on. Meaning you can’t go to Mastodon. Social and sign in, you will get an error message. There are apps and other sites that make the service more palatable.
Following people is more challenging than clicking a button – There are so many servers, and to follow someone, you need to copy and paste their link in the search to find and add them. It took me doing some research to figure this out.
New Servers are coming online – New servers are coming online dedicated to underwear and gear. I am looking into doing a UNB server, but it isn’t very clear so far.
Fewer restrictions on Mastodon – One thing I like best is being decentralized; the individual servers set the rules for members to follow and not a group of names people to delete your post because it’s against their TOS.
This post is not about how Mastodon will be the new home of Underwear/gear, but it has more potential than I realized before. Unlike Hive, there has been more activity, and it keeps growing. But don’t worry; I “m sure we will get many more companies making Mastodon apps and the service more straightforward to use. If you are on Mastodon, let me know, and we can follow each other and talk undies/gear.
I had an amazing podcast last night and that podcast will go into detail about the Japanese Underwear market including this amazing brand called GX3. And yes they have a site in English!
Join Stevie (aka UndiesCub) and myself (UNBTime) as we discuss how the jockstrap was invented in the late 1800s to provide support for bike jockeys riding on bumpy roads. It became popular among athletes in various sports and was even used as a medical device for hernia support. The history of the jockstrap has been documented in various articles and books, and this podcast is dedicated to exploring its origins and evolution.
Fun Fact it was invented in Boston close to where Stevie is located. We talk more about jocks, cups and more. This is a first in the Brief History series. We will be bringing you much more history about men’s underwear in every episode. Send in what you want to hear us talk about or any interesting articles, videos, or facts that we should look into and include on future podcasts.

On this Jockstrap Wednesday, we chose the Timoteo Coral Sands Striped Jockstrap. Not every guy out there wants a fetish jock; some of you guys want to rock a jock any day of the week to work, to the gym, or hang out. Plus, this is a fantastic-looking jock.
This is what Timoteo says about the jock:
Fresh new stripes, great construction and high quality materials define the Coral Sands collection by Timoteo. This jockstrap sits low on the hips and is made of a light, super soft and body-hugging cotton/spandex fabric that delivers outstanding comfort.
Things I love about this jock are:
The super fun duo color waistband. It’s something different and fun
The jock comes in three fun colors – Blue, Mint, or Pink
The stripes are fun and remind me of pairs I had back in the day. I don’t think we do enough strips in men’s underwear.
It’s Jockstrap Wednesday, and we ran a few weeks ago. Teamm8 has been working on a collection with the model and influencer Ryan Greasley. Together, we created THE RYAN, an American-style jockstrap with a thick waistband. The jockstrap is available in navy blue, red and white.
We rave about the Todd Sanfield Underwear collection. It’s one of my favorites in my underwear drawer. It’s just well-made and feels fantastic. He has just dropped his new swimwear line for 2023, featuring some unique colors and a new style! I won’t focus on all the new colors in every style, but I know thongs are hot, and those will be pictured. But check out the Todd Sanfield site for all the fun new swim.
Here are some new colors and prints/stripes for the new collection. The new colors are bold and fun. I know the pink (or Lotus) will be a fantastic seller. Also, the prints and stripes are for those guys who want something different on the beach. I think there are many of you out there who will love these new colors.
The new style is the Low Tide Swim Brief. This brief has a full back, as you can see, and string sides are similar to a string bikini or a tanga with a small waistband. I think this will be super popular as well. I know so many out there love minimal and barely there swimwear. This is perfect for the guy who may not want to go full-on thong and still wants to show some skin.
JOR has been showing its new Wonderland collection on social media. In fact, the collection should be out on the JOR international site but not here in the US just yet! It’s coming soon.
Add a touch of sophistication and elegance with Linn and Rokkakkei swim. Less is more with the V20 swim fit, boasting a daring fit that accentuates and emphasises your body. The eco-friendly V20 Core swimwear series 2 is made with REPREVE® fabric so that you look and feel good while doing good. Shop at the 2EROS site.
