Men’s Underwear

Category

I hope this review finds all of you guys doing well. I had the opportunity recently to sport the ever so trendy underwear from Ginch Gonch. I own their Red Bandana Jockstrap and LOVE IT! Therefore, I became very interested in reviewing a pair of their new briefs. Ginch Gonch provided a pair of the Spokey Pokey low-rise briefs for me to review. When I received them in the mail, my first thought was, “interesting”.

7114-113

Ginch Gonch has a unique style that separates them from other underwear designers. It has developed underwear lines for both men and women. I feel that it has taken a classic look of underwear and given it a modern feel. I also feel that it does a great job of making underwear fun again. I think, above all else, the latter is the truest point I can make.

While reviewing the Spokey Pokey low-rise briefs from Ginch Gonch, I found them to be very satisfying. I will admit that at first, the name of the briefs threw me, but the design on them explained it all. The briefs are mainly white briefs with a classic look, but on them appears a design involving dirt bikes. This obviously lends to the name of the briefs. I found the briefs to fit pretty well. I reviewed a size large and feel that the fit wasn’t too bad, but for a guy like me, I am curious to know how the XL size would fit. As of any Ginch Gonch underwear, the material is high quality and soft. It is very comfortable for everyday wear and even for a trip to the gym. Being someone who has both a reasonably sized package as well as some decent “junk in the trunk”, I would say that the particular design doesn’t totally work well for my body type. I personally feel much more comfortable with underwear that has a more defined pouch that aids in placement and growth. I don’t know whether going up a size would solve this issue or not.

The look of the briefs is a classic but modern take on the typical briefs of the past. Along with my low-rise version, there is the classic brief version as well as trunks and a jock in this particular design. As I mentioned earlier, this particular pair, along with many others that Ginch Gonch sells, has a very fun and childlike theme. Whether they are trucks, motorcycles, or super heroes, Ginch Gonch is working hard to bring a sense of fun and playfulness back into the underwear world. It’s something we all had when we were much younger but were forced to grow out of too soon.

In conclusion, the Ginch Gonch Spokey Pokey briefs are a pretty good pair of low-rise briefs. I give them an overall rating of 4.2 on a scale of 5.

WesCocksoxMeshBB3

Over the past few years, we have seen a growth in the number of designers who have jumped on the glorious bandwagon of men’s accentuating underwear. In my opinion, there couldn’t be enough. The male body has been screaming since the inception of form fitting underwear for a bit more fabric and forgiveness in the front of these garments. Cocksox realized this WesCocksoxMeshBB2need and has come to the rescue by producing briefs, boxer briefs, and thongs in underwear and a few designs in swimwear as well.

For my review, I was given the Cocksox Mesh Boxer. Before you conjure up opinions based on the single word “mesh”, take into consideration the style of the cut. It is a boxer brief which covers more or the body. Now, picture that style made of mesh material. It’s coverage on a minimal scale. They are boxers with an accentuating pouch, extremely breathable, and they give you the expected feel and fit of a boxer brief. The only thing different than the usual expectation is that it allows more air to an otherwise covered area.

My normal size in underwear is a small and these were just that. I put them on with the hesitation that they might not fit true to size, but as they were lifted into place, I was put at ease. The mesh boxer instantly won me over in the sense that I didn’t feel overly covered. I do favor the idea of minimal coverage of clothing. The pouch formed around the crotch area nicely. This aspect became better WesCocksoxMeshBB1throughout the day.

There were two things that I would have wished were different. A band of about an inch is at the leg opening. I noticed these were a bit tight and I hoped this would counteract the riding associated with many brands of boxer briefs. I understand this is needed to secure the mesh. This may not be something most wearers will experience, but because of this tightness, the bands rolled up during the day. The other point was the tag location. When the tag is too long and sewn into the bottom of the waistband, I refer to it as “crack tag”. This is because during wear, you continue to feel the tag touching the top of your crack. It would have been better if it had been sewn onto the waistband. My easy fix to that would be to simply cut it out, but I don’t know how others feel about removing tags from their clothes.

Overall, I give the Cocksox Mesh Boxer a 4.86. I can’t say the leg opening issue will happen to anyone else. If I had worn a medium, the waistband would have been too loose which makes a small in these the perfect size. I do, however, stick with my opinion on the care/size tag.

QUAKE-RED SUPERLOWjpg

As we have already posted this week, Quake started its Online Magazine and released the new underwear line Quake. Both are big accomplishments for the company.

QUAKE GREY SUPERLOWThe “QUAKE” underwear line boasts an All Natural Lift construction that enhances the male physique without any artificial gimmicks or apparatus.  The line is being launched with a new designer waistband designed in 4 color stories included in the Low Rise Brief, the Boxer Brief, the Original Classic Brief and the Totally Designed Jockstrap.

“We are thrilled to bring our customers an online magazine that captures the essence of who we are as a brand,” said Timoteo Ocampo, the company’s Creative Director and Co-Owner.  “With the launch of our swimwear in 2004 and our underwear line in 2007, our brand has become a lifestyle for our customers.  Timoteo customers want contemporary design and above all else want us to ensure that the fit is a continuation of the design, Timoteo said.”

Already closely followed on Facebook and Twitter, Timoteo made the move to go online with its online magazine as an extension of their presence in the social media landscape. Timoteo CEO and Co-Owner, Joel Johnston, explains, “Our customers are online in every aspect of their life.  They are consuming more than 60% of their daily allotment of media online.  Viral communication is at the forefront of how they communicate and interact socially.  What better way to showcase this brand than in an online QUAKE WHITE BOXERBRIEFmagazine.”

Since its inception in 2001, Timoteo has produced provocative advertising campaigns every year.  Issue 1 of the online magazine features new photography by Allen Zaki and Tom Cullis, both Southern California based photographers.  “Historically, we have had great success with our photography campaigns and feel like we have grown this brand because of the vision we bring to our advertising each and every year” said Ocampo. “Both Tom and Allen have an eye for shooting contemporary ad campaigns that showcase the lifestyle of our brand and not just ‘pin up’ boys in underwear or swimwear, said Ocampo.

Mr. Ocampo concluded, “With the release of our online magazine and the introduction of our Quake underwear line, we hope our customers will see our continued commitment to the lifestyle they have grown accustomed to from us.”

Sorry for the delay in the Underwear of the Week, but the pair we choose this week is the Ergowear Plus line. The only pouch underwear that doesn’t have a seam in the front. If you like to wear undies with out a pouch these are for you!

International Jock is proud to be the only North American reseller offering Ergowear’s new PLUS line of mens underwear styles with seamless contoured pouches. Previously, creating a pouch for the male anatomy has always required an often uncomfortable and distracting seam down the center of the support pouch to achieve the rounded shape. Now, for the first time ever, Ergowear has created a line of form-fitting underwear with a 3-dimensional rounded pouch that offers the desired concave pouch contour without a center vertical seam : Ergowear PLUS

Made from a blend of 90% cotton and 10% Lycra, the PLUS line offers the softness of cotton along with the support and shape retention of Lycra. The proprietary manufacturing process used to create Ergowear’s exclusive seamless pouch design stretches the fabric into a rounded shape while also largely neutralizing the Lycra in the pouch area so that the genitals are not compressed.

Ergowear’s PLUS line offers uniquely comfortable ergonometric styling, and the world’s first seamless male pouch up front.

You were a model before having your own underwear line. How did you get into the underwear business?

I used to always model underwear and rarely would wear the underwear ever again after the shoot. They just weren’t that comfortable. So this year, I got the idea to do my own line with the focus on comfort and style. The goal is to create the world’s most comfortable underwear that also looks “Hot!”1ray

What made you choose bamboo as the material used in your line?

It’s the most comfortable fabric I’ve found. I believe a good pair of underwear should be comfortable. I want Rich Underwear to be the most comfortable underwear in the world. Bamboo plants are great for the environment and I’m all about good health.

Why did you choose the current styles you are selling? What is your best seller?

We started with 5 styles and ended with two for now. If a style didn’t feel super comfortable and look hot, we didn’t use it. Currently we have a Low-rise brief and a sexy bikini brief. I get great feedback on both, so it seems people love both styles.

You have done a DVD of you in your underwear. Can you tell us about that project and what made you create a DVD?

IMG_9663 I figured an underwear workout DVD would be a great way to promote the new Rich Underwear line. Plus, people can see how the underwear will fit to the body while you move around.

What has been the best experience that has come out of you starting the line?

Getting to wear comfortable underwear all the time. About half the time, I’m wearing our Rich Underwear and the other half I’m testing out new designs and samples.

I have three tests for determining which styles are good and will be keepers:

  1. The “I forgot I’m wearing underwear” Test – If I’m testing a new design and I forget I’m wearing underwear, because it’s so comfortable, then it’s a keeper.
  2. “The Workout Test” – When you exercise, you move [around] in many different positions. A great pair of underwear will naturally move with you and feel great.
  3. “The Boner Test”, or “Erection Test” – I know this one sounds funny, but it’s the most important. If I wear a super comfortable pair of underwear, I’ll get many boners throughout the day because it feels so good against my skin. Most underwear is too restrictive and hurts your little man when he gets hard. I want to make sure Rich Underwear comfortably allows your ‘rocket’ room to launch.

Are you going to expand the line, maybe into thongs or jocks?Photo_041009_002

Yes. I work everyday on expanding the line. My goal is comfort, comfort, and then more comfort! I [am] constantly looking at different types of bamboo fabric and styles, testing them, and altering them to make Rich Underwear the most comfortable underwear you can buy. We will be coming out with boxers, boxer-briefs, and possibly jocks this year.

JunkProduct1

I was given the privilege to review a new brand of underwear soon to be hitting the streets.  Junk Underjeans provided us a couple of pairs to test and review.  First impressions were very soft material, very comfortable upon putting them on, and really cool patterns.  I wasn’t too sure about the first pair, as it did not seem to do a good job with holding the boys in place.  Now, having tried the second pair, I think it might have been operator error.  I wasn’t sure about the zipper fly combined with the internal pouch and how it all worked together.

What happened with the first pair was that it seemed to stretch out and not keep everything secure.  I am sure my exploration of the ins and outs of the undies did not help matters.  I was a little concerned by this until I tried the second pair.  On the second pair, I did not check out or explore its features, but wore them as one probably should.  I put them on and away I went.  Everything fit perfectly, stayed in place, and they were extremely comfortable the entire day.

My wife loved the second pair, too.  She liked the look of them with the silver dots on the sides, the zipper, the way they conformed to my body, and pretty much everything else.  With that in mind, I would have to say they are great undies and will be enjoyed by all!
