Fetishwear is one area of the Survey that we have cut back on and has surprised me. I thought we would have guys who loved it and wore it. Nope, it’s always been lower than I expected, so I cut all the questions other than what you like and where you wear it. I enjoy many of these things, but you guys love undies and swim way more.
This slide sums it up. Over 40% of you guys answered none. The second closest was Spandex gear below 30%. I’m debating cutting this section entirely from the 2023 survey.
Just a quick slide on where you guys buy fetishwear. Most buy online, and few go to a specialty store for the type of gear.
Now on to something incredible. 75% of you want us to show guys of all sizes. I’m working on a system to have guys submit pics and profile guys in our brief distraction with a short list of questions so you can share where you are, your social, and a brief message on what you love in undies.
You want to see real guys across just about everywhere on the site. We love that and are trying to get more guys to be on the site. It’s not been easy to recruit guys. I have been hitting guys up on social media (IG and Twitter) to come on the podcast, and it’s been hit or miss. Please reach out if you want to come on or submit a picture.
This slide! OMG, I have such big ideas for this but a minimal budget. There is a lot that could be done but hiring a photog and getting pics isn’t cheap. Plus, we want to do a real guy shoot. I am trying to find guys in ATL who want to work with us regularly but have yet to find them. We have a significant gay community and bear community, but most don’t want to do an underwear shoot.
GUYS! Almost 50% don’t want to participate in a real guy segment. I love it when regular guys come on and share. It gives other guys the courage to come forward and feel they are not alone.
I’m glad most of you follow brands on social media. I know many of you can’t due to work, but many of you have Alt accounts and share your love. See the slide below.
Do you love Candyman? Candyman has always designed by their own rules and mixed the masc/fem together for guys. I thought I would drop a podcast plan. We are actively working on a lingerie show and it’s in the planning stage, guests have been booked, topics set up and we are going to record very soon!
Today is a TBT from July 2018 featuring the Modus Vivendi Nude swim line. This is the only post for today I have a lot going on and I need to decompress and regroup. I have a few podcasts to edit and done for next week! Enjoy and have a great day everyone!
We bring you the next part of our reader survey results. This time it’s Gymwear! We wanted to know what you guys wear while working out. I think we see a rise in spandex and other workout wear. Here are some of the
Running is an exercise that I hate; I only run when being chased! But I wondered what you guys wear. The main article is the gym short. I’m not surprised, but it’s good to see about 25% of you wear runners (spandex) and spandex shorts!
Workout wear is changing. No longer are we wearing shorts and tees. Guys are wearing a lot more. You may not see it on this survey, but there is one thing on this slide that keys you in. Don’t change. That is singlets. It’s growing, and we have seen more IG guys working out in singlets. I”m a little disappointed that runners and spandex shorts aren’t more significant, but fingers crossed it grows. I prefer spandex when working out for the support it gives. If you are old enough to remember the 80, there was a brand that I LOVED called Hind. They had some of the thickets and most comfy spandex shorts ever. They gave me such incredible support when working out my legs.
Gym shorts reign supreme on this survey. But I am showing hope that runners and spandex shorts are gaining acceptance. Over 25% of young guys wear runners while doing cardio. Two, in cardio, it depends on what you are doing.
I asked for Cross fit because I think it’s an evil workout regime. But many guys wear it. Again we see the gym short by a WIDE margin.
I thought that yoga would see more spandex in general but nope. However, we see a rise in Yoa pants in the Track/sweat pants (I shortened the yoga pants for the slide). Ok, next year I”m asking what kind of shorts you guys wear.
Our last question is how much do you spend on gym wear. You guys spend more on gym wear than you do underwear. It’s in the $36-$50 range. Gymwear is also a lot more expensive than undies. There are higher-end brands that go for over $70 for pieces.
Gym wear let me down a little, but there’s more coming soon, including fetishwear and some more fun things.

They say that “necessity is the mother of invention” and nothing could be more true. Light was born out of repeated requests by baskit men living in warmer climates who wanted a lighter fabric.
While we normally use heavier interlock cotton blends weighing in around 180grams, Light is made from a lighter 95/5 blend of premium cotton jersey and elastane at 150grams.
So it’s perfect for whatever heat life throws your way.

Today in our UNB Reder Survey Results, We go over swimwear. Here I am, though; I’m in the home stretch. I had all the tabulations done (of if I did, I lost the file), and All I have to do is make the slides. NOPE, I didn’t finish things and had more tabulations. UGH, But I managed to bang out the swimwear slides to get out to you guys
What are you guys going to wear this year? The swim brief still reigns supreme. More than half of you guys plan to wear them. The surprise to me was just a little more preferred the swim shorts over the swim Trunk Thongs became a strong third with almost 25% of you guys going to suns out buns out on the beach.
Speaking of swim thongs! We asked if you have worn thongs; if you haven’t, would you wear them? Over 35%have worn the thong. Another 30% would be willing to wear thongs, and just under 30% have no desire to wear them. That makes the majority of you guys want to wear thongs.
Compare this to what you guys are wearing. Again most guys will be wearing a swim brief. But they were tied in trunks and Thongs for second place, with swim shorts coming in a close fourth—this question allowed for more than one answer per person.
We were curious how many pairs of swimwear you guys buy each year. The first thing you notice is that no one is planning to buy one pair, which is surprising. You guys buy 2-6 new pairs a year. I want to know w ho buys 11+ pairs!
Next, we asked how much you spend on swimwear. You guys spend a lot more than I do! Most of you spend $51-65 on a pair of swim. The next group is in my price range of $35-50 . Some guys splurge at 80+.
One thing to notice in these slides series is whether it’s a public or private space. If it’s more public, you guys wear more coverage, such as swim shots. You guys break out the swim briefs and thongs if it’s a private place. However, across most of these, the swim briefs are pretty strong. I think we will constantly see them grow over the next few years.
It is June, a month that gives the LGBTQ+ community the opportunity to celebrate, but also offers the possibility to peacefully protest and raise awareness of any of the current issues it faces. Gay Pride is about equality, dignity, freedom and the increased visibility of the LGBTQ+ community as a social group.

Today’s Pool Party is a thonger party! At this party thongs are mandatory and it’s time to sun those buns. The first of the annual “Proud thonger” party. How many wish they were at this pool party?
It’s swimwear season! Time to check out what’s out there, one brand that makes super fun swimwear is ES Collection. They are based out of Spain and always have a good mix of colors and styles.
There’s a reason Wolf and Omtex have been some of our best selling jocks for the past 12 years: they’re simply that good. They’re also available in size small to 3XL.
Well, now’s the chance to either try them out, or for the converts out there… stock up. We’ve just received a huge restock on both our Wolf and Omtex brands and they’re now on sale for 15% off until Tuesday, June 21st.
Both Wolf and Omtex (made by the same company) offer an alternative to most of the North American sports jocks – with their awesome brushed cotton pouches, you can have support and pure comfort in a sports jock.
Although similar, here’s the main difference between the two brands:
— Omtex supporters have double-walled pouches for extra absorption whereas Wolf supporters have just one layer.
— Both are made with a super soft brushed cotton with a hint of Lycra to ensure the perfect fit.
— Omtex jockstraps have plain 3 inch wide waistbands with a wider horizontal rib whereas Wolf have a finer rib and have horizontal micro sports striping as you’d find in most classic sports jocks.
— Finally, both have one inch wide leg straps however the Wolf jock’s elastic straps are wrapped in cotton for extra comfort.
Which you choose all comes down to personal preference. They’re inexpensive, and ever more so with this sale so why not try both to figure out which jock you prefer
OMTEX ARMY ARE ALSO BACK IN STOCK AND ON SALEAs well as the sports jocks mentioned above, Omtex also produces an awesome military inspired jock called the Army Jock. We have sold thousands of them over the years and are continually selling out.It has a stunning ribbed cotton pouch with a hint of Lycra for fit and comfort and a two-inch wide waistband in green camouflage. Matching 1 inch wide leg straps finish the whole thing off.It’s a must-have for your jock collection. They are now on sale for 15% off until Tuesday.

Both of these boys rock the swim briefs or less every time they go to the pool or beach.

We take you back to 2013 with our TBT. We posted this in June 2013 with the What’s Hot in the UK from our friends at Deadgoodundies.com. If you are in the UK or in the US and love HOM check them out they are amazing people!
Today we have factors that are important to buy undies. I think next year we are going to update these to some new ones and drop some of them. I haven’t made up my mind yet but I think we may make it more clear.
Material – This is one of the most important factors in choosing undies. I mean bad fabric equals a bad day. I prefer modal, spandex and things that move and breathe.
Cut – Next on our list is cut, which cut do you like a higher cut leg, a thong, a wide string, or a small? it’s important to find brands that makes what you love.
Fit – the most important is the fit does it keep it’s shape? Does it ride up or does it feel amazing through out the day and being active.
Pouch – Pouch is one that rotates in and out of importance. This year while important it didn’t make our top three. Pouch can either be too small or big.
Sizing – is always an issue and how does the sizing chart compare to the actual pair. Is it right? does it run small or big?
Style- Style is another important factor. We define style as is it a bikini, briefs, thong, jock, etc. It’s not fashion but what style is best for you.
Color – I think by this result that color is a secondary factor for most guys. It’s important but other items on the list over ride color.
Price – Being price sensitive isn’t big for you guys. This was done back in March/April and I think now it would be higher due to inflation and gas prices.
Sex Appeal – This one surprises me, that yeah you guys want to feel sexy in undies but you don’t hold it high up on your criteria.
Fashion – What this slide tell me is you guys know what you like and want to get it. You want to be fashionable but you want to be comfortable as well.
Construction – How well is the pair made? is it going to keep up with your activities? Does it wear out after one wearing? It’s important but not a big three factor.
Be Loud and proud in the new Pride collection from Marek + Richard. I’m not going to lie, I love the pride bodysuit in this video, it’s super cute and a lot of fun.
Wear something fun today and outside your box! One company that makes super fun gear is Sparta Harness. They have everything from jocks, to harnesses, to shorts. Rock something super fun.
We are in Pride month. Not all pride pairs have to be over the rainbow. The JOR Pride swim brief has a side panel of the rainbow in a blue, white, or black colid color. Check out all our pride gear on the UNB Store.
We are all about color for this update (well, half of the update). We asked two questions. The first is what are your favorite colors. Our top 5 colors for this year are Blue, Black, Red, Green, and Purple. As you can see, guys could choose more than one color. I’m surprised that pink wasn’t higher on our list as well as it sells.
We got the top colors, but what do guys prefer? Is it solid, prints, or stripes? By a wide margin, you guys love solids best. Followed by prints and stripes. I’m surprised that more of you don’t wear prints. I guess more of you want to do prints in swimwear and not underwear.
I kept this one in random order because it’s always interesting to see what guys think of as the most annoying thing in undies. Over the years, it changes and rotates from tags, sizing, fit, and more. This year Sizing issues are back on top. Guys hate to buy undies that have issues with sizing, such as a strange size chart or pairs that run small (rarely is it running bigger). The second is a classic tag or label issue. You pay $30 for a pair, and the tag rubs you the wrong way, sometimes making the pair unwearable. The third is pouch too small. Pouch issues are always in the top 5. No one hates to get squeezed throughout the day. The last two are construction issues and store sales.
This year’s new question inspired by the podcast is what do you do with old undies. It doesn’t necessarily mean worn-out undies but undies that you no longer like for various reasons. Most of you throw them out and get rid of them. I need to do this for a lot of pairs I have and redo my collection. Next is to put them in storage. I have several pairs I love so much I don’t want to get rid of them, even if they are unwearable. The last two are sold on a site like Poshmark (although they are cracking down on undies sales0> Last is to give them to a friend!
I limited this because the next topic is long, so I didn’t want to run 20 results in a post.
The Titan line is BACK! This is one of my favorite lines from N2N Bodywear! If you aren’t familiar with the line, they have a snap-off pouch! This line gives you an incredible bulge. Get this line while you can before it gets sold out
