REVIEW: Life Iz Pantz

3 Comments

Unique is something I have never shied away from when it comes to underwear.  I love when a brand does something unique and different.  Life Iz Pantz is a brand that has not only taken unique to a new level, but versatility as well.

Life Iz Pantz is a company that has been around for a short while but has recently started to catch on. They offer a one size fits all line of knit men’s underwear that’s available in a variety of colorful stripe patterns.  Life Iz Pantz tells us you can wear these undies for almost every occasion.  They can be worn as underwear, beachwear, clubwear, and just about anywhere you might feel the need to be sexy and show off a little color.

Instead of names for their styles, numbers are assigned to them. I received a number 01 style for review.  It is a very bright combination of white, red, navy blue, greens, yellow, and orange strips that will make just about anyone’s head turn.  In total, Life Iz Pantz comes in about 13 different color patterns.  Life Iz Pantz only offers one size.  They recommend their undies for guys with a size 33” waist or smaller.  I am a 32” and they fit amazingly!

My Life Iz Pantz arrived in the mail, shipped in about a 2” by 2” package, and I immediately thought, “There is no way I am going to get these over my left thigh, let alone my waist.” I slipped them on and, sure enough, as they say, they stretched and molded to my exact body shape.  One thing not found in these undies is a fly or even a tag.  I did notice that I really had to examine the underwear to figure out if I was putting them on correctly.  You will find some different stitching in the pouch, guiding you as to which side is the front.

The knit fabric is very comfortable and I found these to be absolutely amazing to wear.  I have worn these not only for everyday wear, but also for lying in the sun and gym wear. They held up perfectly.  I was a little concerned when I first wore them to the gym as the stitching doesn’t appear to be that great, but they held up fine and I haven’t had any issues with the stitching or seams ripping out at all.

Overall, I really enjoyed these undies. They are unique, stylish, and versatile…three of the most important things that I look for in a pair of underwear.

Fit: 5
Materials: 5
Contruction 5
Look 5
Daily Wear 5
Overall 5

You can purchase Life Iz Pantz directly from their website.  They offer many different color patterns and each pair is going to cost you 24.67 EUR or about $33 USD.  Their website also offers an eye candy section which I would recommend checking out.

Life Iz Pantz supplied me with this pair to review.

REVIEW: Candid – Yellow Houndstooth – Low Rise Brief

No Comments

Candid Underwear has always been a favorite brand of mine, so when I found out I was getting a pair of their new Houndstooth collection to review, I was very excited.  It has been a couple of months or so since I tried my first pair of Candid.  I wanted to see if my first impression of this brand lived true.

For those of you that aren’t familiar with Candid as a brand, they operate under the philosophy that “men shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and style.”  They are right on when they say the look that Candid provides is chic, masculine, and fashionable.

Candid Underwear has three collections currently available and is looking at expanding even more this year.  They have a Plaid collection, the Houndstooth collection, and the Chromatic collection.  One thing I love about Candid is the way they take more well known patters like plaid and houndstooth and make them modern and fashionable again.  I think this is a trend we are starting to see more and more underwear companies turn too.

I received the yellow Houndstooth Low Rise Brief in a size medium.  When they first arrived, the first thing that caught my eye was the yellow color.  It was more of a bright gold than a true yellow, and I loved it.  It was also a nice touch how Candid tied the color and cut into the packaging.  I took them out of the package and noticed the soft feel of the fabric.  If you have read any of my other reviews, you will know that I am BIG on fabric.  It is an amazing blend of cotton and spandex, offering a nice combination of strength and stretch.

The Houndstooth comes with a white waistband with a matching yellow logo on the front.  The waist band is very comfortable and looks amazing.  I have worn these briefs to work under both jeans and dress pants and have not had a problem with them bunching or riding.  The front pouch is very roomy yet offers great support.  The cut is awesome as well.  It doesn’t ride to high on the hips and offers plenty of coverage in the rear.  The one thing I will say I didn’t care for was the back tag. The waist band is so comfortable, but I had to deal with the “itchy tag” feeling.

Overall, I really enjoyed these undies.  Candid has done a nice job of taking a traditional pattern and making them into something fun and fashionable as well as comfortable and wearable.

Fit: 5
Materials: 5
Put Together: 5
Look: 5
Daily Wear: 4
Overall: 4.8

You can purchase Candid directly from their website.  The Houndstooth collection comes in a variety of colors like blue, green, pink, as well as the yellow.  These colors are available in either the low rise brief or a low rise trunk.  The briefs are going to run about $21.  Also, check out their Plaid and Chromatic collections to add even more style to your underwear drawer.

Candid provided me with this pair of underwear to review.

Review: Andrew Christian Almost Naked Jock

2 Comments

We gave away a ton of Andrew Christian jocks a few weeks back but they also sent us a jock to review.  I really love the Almost Naked line.  Michael is going to review the Almost Naked Brief and it’s amazing.  We talked about it on the podcast.  I got a chance to review the Almost Naked Jockstrap in royal blue.

As always when I put on something from the Almost Naked line, I wonder if it’s going to be too loose.  So far, I have always been proven wrong.  They really fit incredibly well.  I don’t know how Andrew came up with this design or how long he worked on it, but it is my favorite of his lines.  I put it on and wore it for another day full of errands.  I usually wear review underwear while running errands in case I don’t like them and I can take them off on the go.  I will wear them at a workday sometimes to give me a better feel for the undies.  Sounds scientific doesn’t it? Not really!  It gives me a quick impression of if I will like them.

My only complaint about the jockstrap is the leg straps get twisted. This is only a minor thing to me.  For the most part, it was only noticed if I took my pants off.  It was more aesthetic than function.  With some jocks, if the straps twist, it makes for a really uncomfortable experience.  If you are a fan of jocks, you really need to check these out.  They are perfect for daily wear.

Fit 4.5

Construction 5

Daily Wear 4.5

You can get these from the Andrew Christian website.  They are available in red, royal, white, black and navy.  They currently retail for $20.00.  This pair was furnished for review.

Andrew Christian Sports Mesh Brief Navy/Kelly

No Comments

When we got the Sports Mesh Briefs from Andrew Christian, they were going to go to Michael.  But, when they sent my size, I got to review them.  Skeptical about another pair of underwear…yes!  They are made of the sports mesh you see many basketball and work out shorts made from and they have no lining.  They aren’t necessarily see-through, but they aren’t solid.  Being made by Andrew Christian, I felt I shouldn’t have much to worry about.

I wore them to a conference I attended and I didn’t know what to expect.  When you are at an important event, there is nothing worse than having a bad fitting pair of undies.  As the day went on, I felt really good in them.  I was surprised they didn’t get hotter.  I guess the holes in the fabric allow for more air circulation.

Andrew Christian seems to have a good insight when designing underwear.  He always seems to take something that doesn’t seem as though it would work and makes a great item.  This pair also has a fun factor to it.  It’s a traditional cut with untraditional materials.

The sports mesh brief is available directly from the Andrew Christian website.  It retails for $22.00.  It is also available in blue, navy, and black.  This pair was furnished for review.

Review: Papi Cotton Stretch Brief

No Comments

The last of the new Papi reviews is the Cotton Stretch Brief.  I am a briefs guy so I was very happy to review them.  I haven’t had too many cotton briefs lately.  I have been loving spandex/nylon blends that fit me.  It was good to try a cotton brief.

These are a fuller cut brief and really didn’t seem like it.  You know sometimes when you wear a full brief that it can feel like granny panties?  I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.  It’s huge and will drive you crazy!  These didn’t have that feeling.  They fit well and didn’t lose their form throughout the day.  I think it is great that many more companies are taking the time to make great fitting underwear that looks great as well.  Papi has done that in many of their lines.

These would be fantastic for daily wear.  Being that they are cotton, I wouldn’t recommend them for the gym.  For work, running errands, or just hanging out, I think you will really like them.  They have a mix of spandex and cotton.  In order to give Papi a great compliment…remember the original CK tighty whities, the ones that really fit great?  Well, this pair reminded me of them.  They have classical styling but a much better fit than FTL or Hanes.

Review: Papi Modern Stretch Trunk

No Comments

I continue my reviews of Papi with the Modern Stretch Trunk.  The last one is not one my favorites, the cotton boxer briefs, but this one is what I like.  When I have worn boxer briefs/trunks, they have always been a nylon/spandex blend.  I prefer them to hold everything in place and fit like a glove.  Notice a trend here?  I don’t like loose or baggy underwear.

I have a pair of the Modern Stretch low-rise briefs and I love them.  I was all for having the chance to review these.  I wore them for another day of running around and errands.  I put them on and at first, they seemed a little loose and I wondered if I should have ordered a smaller size.  As the day went on, I was pleasantly surprised that they held up well and they weren’t as loose as I thought.

They are made of a spandex/nylon blend that really fit well and I had no issues with them.  In fact, it was a pair that I found myself not realizing they were there.  To me, that is one of the best things you can say about a pair.  You feel so comfortable you don’t feel like you are wearing undies.

Review: Papi Premium Cotton Stretch Trunk

No Comments

I will admit that I was very excited to receive some Papi products to review.  I have two pair of their underwear and really wanted to try more.  I have the modern stretch brief and a trunk.  Getting the chance to try more of the line…who am I to complain!  The first pair I am reviewing is the Cotton Stretch Trunk.

When I first opened them I was a little skeptical.  I am not really a fan of cotton boxer briefs.  Since the first ones CK introduced, I just haven’t ever cared for them.  They bunch, ride up, and simply drive me crazy.  I knew I had to keep an open mind.

I wore them around for a day.  I will say that I was surprised they didn’t ride up.  The legs stayed in place.  For that, I was thankful because the last time I wore cotton boxer briefs, they made it till 10 AM and I went without underwear the rest of the day.  The pair had great construction and is made from high quality cotton.  I like these and will wear them again.

These fall in the middle of the road for me.  I think it is mainly because I am not a cotton boxer brief/trunk kind of guy.  They are really well made.  I have never had any issues with Papi.  If you are a fan of cotton boxer briefs/trunks, I think you should definitely check them out.
