NP3-15-A

March is one of my favorite times of year. You may think its due to the change in weather, winter is leaving and spring is about to be sprung. Yeah I do enjoy that but my favorite is that N2N Bodywear releases its new collection. Unlike other brands they just do one collection a year.

In February of this year they released a limited collection to tease us. It was kind of out of the blue. One of the linesthey released was the Primary Collection. The name comes from the colors of the collection. It’s available in Red, Blue and Green. I of course got the green. Which is my favorite color. It is a color that is rare in underwear. So I jumped at the chance for green undies.

N2N sent us a few different pairs to review. This being one of them. We have a few more reviews coming soon from thenew collection including swimwear and underwear! Not to mention one singlet.

NP4-15-AI wore the pair for a lazy day at home. I had no real plans and wanted a pair of great undies to lounge around the house. This pair is really comfortable and has the signature N2N pouch. I don’t know how Andrew does it but they have one of my favorite pouches and it caries across all their lines. The contrasting yellow piping really makes the pair pop.

This collection is a simple design. Simple is not a bad things. One of the latest trends in men’s underwear is having amazing and colorful prints. Sometimes you need something simple in your underwear drawer. The fabric is a 90% cotton and 10% spandex blend. Which will make this simple design fit amazing.

Sizing for N2N Bodywear is pretty consistent. I have had very few issues with pairs not fitting. My only concern is I’m going to work on loosing weight again and love this pair so if I loose too much weight I won’t be able to wear it. The size I received is an XL and it fit amazing.

Pros:

  • Amazing Pouch
  • Great material
  • Simple Design

Cons:

  • Some may not like bright colors
  • No other cons

Ratings:

  • Daily fit: 9
  • Sizing 9
  • Construction 9
  • Styling 9
  • Daily Performance 9
  • Overall: 9

 

N2N Bodywear furnished this pair for review. You can get this pair from the N2N Bodywear site for $22

All the conversations I have with readers, I have discovered you guys LOVE erotic wear. It doesn’t matter if you are gay, bi or straight. It’s something that all guys love. I guess it boils our inherent need to show off! Some wear it out for others to see and other just wear it for our loved one.

Flash forward to February of this year. I have said it before but I LOVE the N2N Bodywear Guys. They are just the nicest guys out there and its so much fun to hang out with them. They showed their collection in a suite at the Mandalay Bay. So I got an overview of the entire collection. One thing that really stood out was the new Liquid Skins. It is a line you maybe familiar with because it used to be called the Black Collection.

The Black collection is one made out of a rubber like material. Unlike rubber this material will breathe and feel good. If you’re not a rubber fan, it can get very hot and constricting. Not to mention it can be hard to remove. The black collection gave you the look of rubber with the feel of spandex. Its the best of both worlds!

B1-15-Full

Back to the Liquid Skins. The new color they added was silver. I wasn’t expecting it but it’s SUPER HOT. When their model came out I went “BLACK COLLECTION!” The black is great for wanting to not stand out and still have have something fun. The Silver has a metallic sheen and will be noticed. Its like these pairs say “LOOK AT ME.” Some of our readers are going to love this. I definitely can picture many guys wearing this out to fetish bar nights or heck just a Friday or Saturday night out.

B6-15-Full

The styles in the collection you may already know but they are; Bikini, Sport Brief, Short, Jock, Slingshot, Wrestler, Skins (leggings), Muscle (shirt) and G. The material is 83% nylon 17% spandex matte coated tricot. Making it look just like rubber. I have tried the bikini and it’s awesome. If you get this make sure you take note of the care instructions. “Chlorine, bleach, oil (lube, suntan lotion, baby oil, etc…) may break down the special matte coating of this novelty fabric.” So be very careful what you get on the fabric.

If you’re in the market for some rubber but don’t have the wallet to pay for it. Definitely give the Liquid Skins line a look over. You could get some great pieces for lower cost. To see this and other lines just released go to the N2N Bodywear site.

6 Bikinis

I’ve been wearing bikinis (or bikini briefs) for the past 20+ years.  Thankfully, this underwear style has come a long way in that time.  Below are six of my favorite pairs available for purchase today, in no particular order.  I actually own all but one of these pairs, which I plan on correcting very soon!

222180Cover Male – Cheeky Bikini.  (Available at freshpair.com for US $23)
This pair is a fun “cheeky” mix between a bikini brief and a thong, showing off a lot more cheek than a traditional bikini back without riding up too much.  The stretchy microfiber fabric has a shiny finish to it that adds to the edginess of the pair.  This is the pair for someone who is a little more daring in their underwear choices.
UN82-12-AN2N – Air Bikini (Available at n2nbodywear.com for US $20)
N2N is by far one of my favorite underwear brands and they never go wrong with their styles.  I chose the Air Bikini because of the freedom of movement they provide with the open leg (aka “string bikini”) design.  This pair is extremely comfortable to wear, so comfortable that I usually forget I have them on.
IS_UND_Billy_Plain_Blue_1_130305105041Aussiebum – Billy (Available at aussiebum.com for US $12.86)
I tried this pair a couple of years ago because of the fun patterns (also available in solid colors); and I’m glad I did.  They’re made from a lightweight cotton that very comfortable to wear.  Aussiebum continues to release new patterns for this style brief, so continue to check back if you’re one that likes fun patterns.  (Note:  The Billy line is also available as a trunk, but I haven’t tried it yet.)
Unknown-136Rufskin – Virgo (Available at rufskin.com for US $21)
This isn’t a brand that I hear much about, but I discovered it a couple of years ago and make a point to try out their new pairs every year.  This year, I found this pair which reminded me a lot of the bikinis from the late 80s and 90s.  I purchased a pair and, when I pulled it on the first time, I was reminded of my very first bikinis all those years ago.  This is the pair for you if you’re looking for an update on that “blast from the past” or enjoy the retro look.
9687_4389cAndrew Christian – Almost Naked Spree Brief (Available at andrewchristian.com for US $20.20)
This is the one pair that I don’t yet own, but I plan to make a purchase soon.  I absolutely love the Almost Naked line for its “hang free” design; I love all underwear that feel like you’re wearing nothing at all yet still look sexy and are comfortable.  What draws me to this pair the most is the contrast waistband with the crisscross feature just above the pouch.
31949Intymen – Sport Brief (Available at freshpair.com for US $21.50)
I was only supposed to include five pairs in this post, but when I saw these were still available for purchase at FreshPair, I just had to include them.  Want to wear a pair that are so light, yet provide good support throughout the day?  This pair is a must have!  I have several of these and am always amazed how well they hold up after a long day at work, a tough workout, or a grueling tennis match.
Of course, there are many other wonderful bikinis in the market today.  What are your favorites?  What pair would you recommend to someone who is trying this style for the first time?
SingletsSinglets are one of the hottest things on the men’s market right now. Each year more and more come on the market. Late last year we brought you a 101 post on singlets and what do look for with your first singlet. Now we bring you 5 great singlets on the market.
The singlets we choose range from traditional to erotic. It all depends on where you want to wear the single and how much you want to show off. These are some of my favorite singlets out on the market right now.
Unknown-116N2N Bodywear – USA Singlet – This is “hot off the presses” as they say. It was just released in the last two weeks. I think the colors (red, green, blue) are just amazing! The cut and design make it one of the hottest singlets on the market! $50
Cellblock13 GForce SingletCellblock13 – G-Force Singlet – Let’s face it, sometimes you want a singlet for some fun times and not wear out. The G-Force Singlet is one perfect for play time. G-Force is a low cut singlet in 4 colors (grey, blue, yellow and red) with a black stripe on the side. But what makes it super sexy is the mesh pouch you can wear with or without a pouch – $69.00
1_268883e3-6ea3-4afa-af8a-e945c041bdad_largeGo Softwear – AJ  Endurance Singlet – Say you aren’t ready to try the mesh of the G-Force, the Endurance Singlet is a very traditional singlet. It has a full cut and longer legs that come just above the knee. Available in three colors (navy, grey and black) with a contrasting trim around the neck and arms. – $48.50
Unknown-120Pistol Pete – Power Mesh Singlet – This is a super fun design from Pistol Pete. It’s one that is a mix of some traditional design and some erotic. The singlet itself is made  out of sports mesh material. So it’s slightly see through depending on the color you get. The colors (red, black, navy, royal and yellow) are made with contrasting accents. The design accents everything you have! – $59.50
Unknown-121N2N Bodywear – PX Singlet – I had to put N2N on here twice because they have embraced the singlet. This is one of my favorite singlets of all time. The PX line has has several color schemes over the years but the design stays the same. It’s super low cut but the legs go mid thigh. The thing that makes it amazing to me is the pouch. They put the famous N2N Pouch in the singlet. I swear by this one! – $56.00
I hope you enjoy the singlets listed. You can’t go wrong with any of these. Each year more come out and we will bring you more as they are released! Are you a fan of singlets? If so which are your favorites?

L14-14-FullI am so excited to be writing this review. I am reviewing the N2N Lounge Onezee. I have always loved loungewear and This Onezee is the ultimate in fun and sexy loungewear.

The material is a perfect blend of 95% Rayon 5% spandex. It is soft and sensual and so amazingly comfy. The design is a perfect mix of classic styling and modern sex appeal.

When I first put it on I was beyond impressed. The short legs and jersey length arms are the perfect compromise between being too long and too short. The button up front is fun, stylish and really comfortable. Of course the fit is tight, but not overly tight or binding.

The N2N Onezee if the ideal lounge outfit on a cool night. I have enjoyed my Onezee several times and I absolutely love it. I was so pleased with it I went and purchased one for my best friend, and he loves it as well.

I truly recommend the N2N Onezee to everyone who enjoys relaxing in comfy and sex loungewear. N2N has an extensive loungewear line so your choices are vast and you wont be let down no matter what you choose.

Pros:

  • Awesome material and construction.
  • Great cut and style.
  • Comfortable, perfect for lounging around the house.
  • Very sexy cut, fit and look.

Cons:

  • I honestly do not have a “con” to mention

We all love underwear and the guys here at UNB are some of the biggest underwear lovers around. So I asked the guys which brands/pairs they wanted to try in 2015. You may think we have tried it all but there are so many brands out there I don’t think we could possibly try them all. So here are some from the guys and what they want in 2015

1381738_10151657003625780_1934276232_nUNB Bryce – Being a fan of underwear there are always brands I have yet to try. In 2015 one brand I would love to try out is Stonemen. It is based out of Australia and has some of the most unique prints I have seen on underwear. The underwear features artwork rather than just a print that is repeated. It is so unique. The way the pairs fit in the photos looks like they would be comfortable and supportive. So that is the one brand I am hoping to try out in 2015.

B81-AUNBATL Briefs – For years and years I always wore briefs.  Maybe a jock or two.  As my collection grew I started branching out.  In 2014 I really got into wearing thongs.  In 2015 I want to try some of the more erotic underwear that’s out there.  Both Cocksox and N2N have a great selection to pick from.   The Cocksox slingshot is so skimpy; I imagine it’s like wearing nothing at all.  And the N2N Titan Jock intrigues me; are those snaps really functional or more for the look?  Only way to find out is to try them both.

10393555_10152679359309597_6752042425904232449_n

UNB TMB – The reason I want to try Bjorn Borg underwear is threefold. First, the cut and style of their underwear seems like it would be comfortable. Two, the patterns and choice of colors are fun and exciting. Three, the combination if the cut and style and color and patterns make for very sexy and fun underwear.

2eros Icon BriefUNB Kyle – One of the biggest referrals for underwear is word of mouth.  We all want to experience that exceptional style and comfort and lean on our friends to give suggestions or feedback on what they have tried and love.  A friend suggested 2EROS which I have never tried and it immediately shot high up on my list.  The Icon brief is a brief that has simplistic yet outstanding visual appeal with contrasting colors, signature waistband and icon on the butt.  It also comes in low rise which is something I always look for in my briefs.

BodyAware Latex Brief PinkUNB Tim – I have been talking to a few guys on Twitter and want to step outside my box a little and get some more fetishwear pairs. One that has caught my eye is the BodyAware Latex Pouch Brief. I have never had any latex but the one thing that made me want this pair is that it’s available in PINK. I would take either the black or Pink but I have a weakness for pink. I think  BodyAware is an amazing company that does super fun pairs.

I know we ask you guys what you want for Holidays. I thought I would share what I have on my wish list for this Holiday season. There are some great pairs out there right now that I really want to try or have my collection updated:

csx76-emerald_green-1

Cocksox CSX 76 Sports Brief – I love the fit of Cocksox and believe it or not I haven’t tried any of the CSX Collection. This pair comes in my favorite color, GREEN

esbs08_n_2z1__39135.1405425469.1280.1280

Ergowear BSC Bikini – One of my very first brands I discovered that fit guys who need extra room in the pouch. I also love a bikini cut

9558_2_

Andrew Christian Trophy Boy Brief – I really love this line from Andrew Christian. I want to spice up my underwear drawer with some bright colors and this yellow would be perfect

IS_Billy_EssenceNavy_02_140812085546

aussieBum Billy Boy Brief – This line from aussieBum reminds me of the underwear I bought growing up. The prints are amazing and fun. Plus it’s not a small bikini cut but just right.

Unknown-9

Mundo Unico Short Boxer Pinos – One of my latest things I love in underwear are patterns and prints. Mundy Unico has always done amazing work in both. Even before it became one of the in things in underwear. I love the Unico Pouch as well!

PM1-14-Full

N2N Bodywear Power Mesh Jock – Now I couldn’t all do briefs. I do have jocks on my list as well. N2N makes underwear for every guy to feel sexy in. I love the red jock best but anything they make is good with me!

Unknown-15

2EROS Neo Brief – I have the jock and love it. The pouch is amazing and fits really well. Plus I love the bright colors adjacent the black fabric. It’s just a great pair not to mention the cool fly design.

These are just a few of the MANY pairs I want. When I sat down to do this post my brain is on over load and as soon as I post this I will remember about 10 other pairs I want. Plus this list is always changing. But this is an overview of what I would love to get this holiday season from someone special. Since I don’t have someone special I guess I’ll have to get them myself !

As I sit here typing i have just in from doing the Long Johns shoot with some amazing N2N. One pair in that shoot is the N2N Lounge Pants. Which I’m supposed to be reviewing in this review but… I sorta mailed them to Tim in LA by mistake and kept his Onezee. So we’re trading them out and will have those reviews soon! DOH!

The Lounge collection is amazingly soft. Its made to do just what it says, lounge around the house and feel comfy all day. The brief is no different. When I slid them on I immediately noticed how soft they were. I was a little worried they may not have great support through the day. But, being N2N, I should have known better. They now how to make underwear with an amazing pouch and support.

This pair is made out of 95% rayon/5% spandex and says “conforms to every curve yet has enough fabulous stretch to accommodate for maximum comfort. “ Which I can attest to it does everything in the description. I wore it to work on a regular day. It wasn’t running up and down stairs or any of that but a lot of up and down and around the office. The pair always felt amazing and most of the day I forgot I was wearing underwear.

The sizing is always pretty standard with them. I rarely have an issues with missizing or things running small. You can always count on N2N having great sizing across all lines. If you are a large in one line you are going to be a large in another. This is, I feel, one of their strengths. I received and XL and it was a little larger on me, I did go up in waist size but working on going smaller again.

This pair is a great pair for lounging around the house. Just super comfy and amazing. I can see many of you out there having your Sunday morning coffee and relaxing around the house, reading the paper or watching Netflix

Pros:

  • Amazing material that is super soft
  • Great pouch design
  • True sizing

Cons:

  • wish had more colors
  • some guys may not like the looser fit.

N2N Bodywear furnished this pair for review.

L14-14-FullThe weather is starting to turn colder.  And before too long we will be in snow season. So it’s time to turn our attention to cold weather gear.  You know the kind that is perfect for lounging by the fire drinking hot chocolate. Over the next few weeks we are going to share some great winter underwear.

The first pair we are going to profile is the N2N Bodywear Onezee. This was first unveiled last spring and in much of the country it had been too warm to wear this pair since the release. I would say this is N2N’s take on a union suit. Unlike traditional Union suits this one has no flap in the back. I know some are you are upset about this but N2N put their sexy spin on it.

The suit is perfect for a lazy day at home. You know the kind of day where you don’t plan to leave the house and pick up your favorite book or watch Netflix all day. It’s  not exactly underwear, sure you could wear it under you clothes but I would consider it more loungewear. It is in fact listed in the N2N site under loungewear.

What do I like about the pair? Its not super long. The sleeves come to the elbow and the legs go just below the knee. The buttons in front, well the N2N site has the best description “The long line of buttons allow you to be as comfortable or as daringly suggestive as you’d like.” It is available in Iced Blue, Iced Moca and Iced Silver. Made out of 95% rayon/5% spandex blend so it will be super soft. It is retailing for $60 at the N2N site.

We hope you will give this pair a look and consider it for part of your cold weather gear! 

CD1-14-2One of my personal favorite underwear brands is N2N Bodywear. They currently hold the title of one of my fave pairs of briefs that I own. I was vey excited to be presented with the chance to review their new jockstrap from the California Dreamin’ collection. With all of the new jockstraps on the market, it is nice to keep involved with the traditional style we are all used to. The jockstrap has a great small front pouch that is colorful with greens, yellows, red, and purples. I love seeing that a company can incorporate so much color into such a small space and make it look fantastic. The only fabric on this pair is a small section covering the front and they did it justice. Apart from the color scheme, the fabric is so comfortable. The minute I touched it I knew I would no problem with comfort in the front. The straps of the jockstrap are basic black, contrasting the pouch nicely.

As usual, I take chances with my underwear and wear them for a whole workday. I find it to be quite the challenge and a good test of true love with a pair. When I first slipped it on, I noticed that it hugged me quite tighter than most jocks I have worn recently. The waistband was a rougher material than several other pairs I am used to which I was worried may cause some discomfort. There was nothing major that I noticed throughout the day but the waistband did rub rough at various actions throughout the day. Such as pulling the front down to go to the bathroom. Again, this is small but noticeable. The straps that wrap around the butt did not have the same feeling to me as the waistband. They fit tight and added support which I could feel from the moment I slid them on. As N2N Bodywear says “this jock feels AMAZING under your jeans.” They did not lie! It felt AMAZING! I loved the feeling all day long. It is important to note that the slight discomfort with the waistband would not keep me from wearing this jock again.

I wear a medium and this pair fits true to size. I will say that it felt like it ran on the smaller of the medium side than the larger medium side. I could tell a difference when sliding them on and off but that would not make me buy a larger size. Although I felt it tighter in these cases, I did not think the front pouch was too small and I had enough room and comfort all day. I still believe the medium is accurate.

Thanks again N2N Bodywear for another great pair!

Pros:

  • Soft, comfortable front pouch
  • Pop of color
  • Good, back jock support

Cons: –

  • Rough waistband
  • Tighter fit might concern people with sizing issues

N2N Bodywear furnished this pair for review.

PX6-13-BHow appropriate that I post a review for a boxer brief the same week I post “I hate boxer briefs” Well I don’t have them but hate a section of them. As you will see in this review.

I totally forgot I had this pair to review and decided to wear them on my trip to LA. Which I think partly wore because I saw N2N at the LA Eagle that night for the Hard Heroes party. Which was a lot of fun (except the jet lag). So I put these on when I did the final things to get ready for my flight. I didn’t leave till 5 PM so I had plenty of time. While doing things I did something I haven’t done in a while. I turned this pair inside out. Why you ask? Because the tag just irritated me so much. I thought about taking it off but realized I could just flip them.

 

Once I had them inside out, they were pretty good. I love the fit of these because they are very tight in the legs, but not too tight. They really breathed with me through out my journey. And the pouch was amazing! I love the pouch they have created and have had very few that I haven’t loved!

 

These got put through their paces on this day. More so than most pairs I review. Here is the day I had….I get to the airport, get checked in and head to security. The sign said 10 minutes, but it ended up taking more than 35 minutes. I glanced at my watch and had 15 minutes to get to the gate before boarding. I was like “No problem” It’s a short train ride down and I”ll be there. But that wasn’t meant to be! I rounded the corner and the trains in the ATL airport wasn’t working. They were holding everyone up and not letting them go down to the transportation mall. So my 15 minute window was slowly closing. In about 5 minutes they let people down and I could still make it. But the train got one concourse away form mine and stayed there. After 7 minutes, and yes I timed it, I got off the train and started to walk. Well everyone else had this idea had to duck and weave between people.

 

I make my way over to the concours and basically had to fight my way to the escalator. I get on and head up to the concourse. Which is a good thing because when I get near the top I hear security say “don’t let anyone else up”. After I get up there I realize why, there are about 2,000 people waiting to go down and they are lined up ¼ way down the concourse. I start running at this point to the gate. I have my backpack with my camera, ipad, computer and more. This backpack weighs about 35 pounds. But there is one thing that I didn’t count on. I took my belt off at TSA and didn’t put it back on. So my shorts were falling down. So here I go running down the concourse yanking my shorts up as I go. But I get there right when they start boarding!

 

Well this pair felt amazing because It never got in the way. The fabric really breathed by the time I got to the gate I didn’t feel like the fabric absorbed all the sweat. I’m sure we have all had these pairs, and then I would have to sit for over 5 hours in a plane, it would not have been good. Turning them inside out was a blessing. If it hadn’t the tag would have just made things worse. So if this pair could stand up to a mad dash to the gate , it would be a great pair to work out or do kickball, tennis or anything else active. This is going to be one of my favorite N2N pairs, I’m actually wearing it again as I type this review (yes its inside out). So this is one of the first times I used an athletic pair in a review situation!

 

I almost forgot the sizing. I think if you’re a fan of N2N you know your size. They have been consistent. I got a large and I’m a 38 waist now and it fit me fine. Make sure you check the size chart for your correct size.

 

Pros:

  • Great pouch
  • Breathable Materials
  • Held it shape all day
  • Perfect for an active guy

 

Cons;

  • The tag was irritating
  • Wish they had more colors than black.

 

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 7
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 8.8

UN53-14-FullIt maybe a shock that one of the pairs I think our readers should own is a trunk. I know I’m kind of the anit-trunk guy. Most of my reviews are briefs and that’s my go to style. However, I think we all need a diverse underwear drawer. I don’t think we should have all of one style.

Over the last few years the Signature line has been refreshed from N2N and has been available in several color combinations. Up until this year I have reviewed every upgrade that has come out. Each time they fit great and have new colors that accent the pouch!

One thing you may notice in both of my picks is that I love a great pouch. I also love underwear that shows it off. I don’t always wear underwear that does but for me it just fits better and I feel amazing when I wear something with a defined pouch. Being on the larger endowment it’s really important to have this extra room!

Another reason I picked this is we all need diversity in our underwear drawers. I’m the kind of person I never want to wear just one thing. I have several favorites and like to rotate them. Plus it gives versatility in your choices. You can mix and wear under jeans or pants.

VU6-13-AI have to start off saying N2N Bodywear is one of my favorite underwear companies. The first reason is they make really comfy and great underwear. Second, I love the guys over at N2N. They are really amazing guys. I know you guys have heard me say it before but there are very few bad folks in men’s underwear. It’s a very small community and just really great people.

Usually when we get N2N, I get a chance to try the Signature Trunk, but not this time, the other Tim got it! I was a little bummed but I got to try a pair I have never tried before. That pair is the Vintage Trunk. I believe this is the second year for the collection (but I could be wrong). The vintage line is one made to look like it’s been in your underwear drawer for a few years.

Over the years of UNB I have tried these “pre worn” type of underwear and they always feel great. I was hoping this was going to be the same with the vintage trunk. When I took it out of the plastic it comes , the fabric felt super soft. It made me go “What is this made of?” The fabric is a Rayon/Spandex blend. I slid them on and they felt like I had had them for a year or more.

The fabric wasn’t the only thing I liked about the pair. In the list of top 10 pouches, the N2N pouch is one of favorites. Andrew knows how to make underwear to fit a guy. Granted, I have a larger pouch than most, so it’s the most important thing in undies for me. Some run way too small but rarely have I had them too big. This is just right.

I wore these running around town for a busy day. First, the pouch as mentioned above was amazing and gave me the support I needed. Next, the trunk, while not a favorite, fit more like a brief. Meaning it didn’t ride up or go too far down the leg. It was a very nice cut that reminds me of the Signature trunk like. Lastly, the fabric just felt amazing against my skin. They have out done themselves on this line.

The sizing is spot on. You shouldn’t have any issues with N2N at all. The size chart is pretty accurate. I haven’t ever had any issues with mis-sizing. Actually I haven’t ever heard people who have had issues. If you have let me know.

Pros:

  • Super Soft Fabric
  • Great N2N Pouch
  • Amazing design

Cons:

  • Some may not like the colors since they are more pastel

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9.5
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction – 9.5
  • Styling 9.5
  • Performance – 9.5
  • Overall – 9.6

N2N Signature Boxer UN53-14-AToday I have the great pleasure of reviewing the N2N Signature Boxer. When I opened the package and saw that I was reviewing another pair of N2N I knew these were going to be a great pair of underwear, and I was right.

They were black with blue inset panels on either side of the roomy front pouch. My visual QC inspection was as I expected from N2N, The finest quality material and workmanship. The seams were executed perfectly and the fabric was soft and sturdy. The waistband is sporty and fun with that hint of sexiness that N2N always delivers.

The blend of 90% cotton and 10% makes for a great pair of underwear that stretches where it should and stays put where it’s supposed to. N2N always finds the best material for making their awesome underwear.

When I put them on I was pleased with the fit and the look. The front pouch was roomy and super comfortable. There was no binding in the legs or the waistband. When I looked in the mirror I was pleased with how they compliment my butt and legs.

My work day was a busy one with lots of moving, bending and lifting. These trunks never once let me down. I did not have to adjust the legs or the pouch once. As usual, it was a warm day and these trunks breathed and kept me cool with no sticky crotch that you can get with so many other underwear.

I wear a size medium and the sizing was perfect. I often worry that with my thick thigh muscles they leg openings will be tight but these trunks fit like a glove.

Pros:

  • Soft, stretchy but firm material
  • Fun and sexy waistband
  • Great color combination
  • Perfect for all day wearing with no problems
  • Great fit for your butt and crotch

Cons:

  • Limited color options

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 10
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Material – 10
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 10

interview-underwear

I’m starting the mind numbing process of job hunting. I wish UNB was my full time gig! But I must do like most and subsidize my underwear love with a real job! UNB is an amazingly fun distraction from the job hunt process. 

If you are a long time reader of the blog you know I had a job interview when the blog started, I put on my tie, dress shirt, pants and looked good then looked down to notice a huge bulge. Now, in many circumstances this would not be an issue and in some instances it would be welcome! However, in a “professional environment” a pronounced bulge is not the image you want. The pair I was wearing was a CX01 in Magenta for a review. I promptly changed the undies to something that was less bulgerific. Which I hated to do because Cocksox really makes me feel great when I wear them.
Underwear should give you an unseen confidence when you wear it. Wearing something super sexy and fun under a suit should be the norm. I don’t think you should ever wear anything you don’t feel great in. Underwear adds the to wardrobe even if no one sees it. One thing I love to do is match my tie and undies. Now I don’t go out of my way to do it but having a few hundred pairs i usually have something that will do the trick.
Flash forward to the present. I am looking for underwear that gives me confidence when you walk in a room but not overly show off everything I have at the first meeting. The pairs that are going in my interview underwear drawer are from N2N Bodywear, Joe Snyder, CK and 2(X)ist
N2N Bodywear Signature Trunk
N2N Signature Line – This is the line that has a great pouch but not overly prominent. It feels great and is one of the few that I enjoy in a trunk. The thing I love about this pair is the fit. The way they designed this fits like a glove and keeps everything in place. I usually reserve this pair for a 2nd interview. Since the first round went great but want something to keep up the energy.
Joe-Snyder-Pride-Frame-02
Joe Snyder Pride Frame – Briefs are my super favorite. The reason I wear this one is the piping around the crotch. It does just what it says and frames your pride. The bright colors from Joe Snyder make this a favorite. No one knows I’m wearing a purple brief or a pink one! When I go on an interview and need to feel a bit more confident this is the go to pair. The fit and feel and knowing I’m in a pink brief takes my mind off the stress

Calvin Klein Micro Modal Bikini – This pair is all about comfort. The bikinis CK has done over the years have been a staple in my underwear drawer. My favorite pair just got a hole in them and need to be replaced. I will be doing that this week. The fabric feels super soft and they rotate colors but usually can find a black pair. Its got support that isn’t as the Joe Snyder but the modal more than makes up for that. I wear this on an interview I am feeling good about going into, and know I”m more than qualified. (picture from International Jock)
prld-1.xlg2(X)ist Sliq Mesh – This is one of those pairs I”m surprised that I like. I am not a big fan of 100% my lon pairs. Mainly because they have no stretch or give. I like undies that conform to me and my body. The part i love the best is the way this feels against my skin. The first time I put them on I was like OMG these feel amazing. This pair won’t show off a huge bulge but the feeling of the fabric just does something to me. The red pair I have is perfect for interviews. It feels great with out being too distracting and gives a good amount of support. (Picture from International Jock)
You maybe asking why not a jock or thong. To me is about confidence and not being distracted by the undies. As much as undies can give you something extra, wearing something you don’t normally wear can be the opposite. It can make you loose your train of thought and appear like you are not the best fit for the job. So I stick with tried and true pairs.
What do you guys wear on interviews? I know my pairs aren’t everyones and some of you prefer jocks and thongs. Let me know what you wear and why!

jock-fashion-functionJockstraps have been going through a renaissance as of late. Back in 2010 I proclaimed it the year of the jock. Before this most jocks were relegated to the locker room or fetish situations. There were basically two kinds of jocks. The traditional 3-inch waistband or the Swimmer with the 1 inch waistband. The perfect example of this is the Bike #10 Jock. It pretty much came in white. In the 90’s they branched out in to a few colors but the styles stayed the same.

We flash forward to 2010 and everyone started to make them in all sorts of fabrics and colors. In 2014 you can find a jock in any color of the rainbow and in just about any fabric. The design is changing as well. Many companies have taken the jock and made it their own. The perfect example of it is the C-IN2 Grip jock. Not only did they play with the design but they also made it in newer material that makes it perfect for working out or being active.

Each year more and more companies take the jock and put a new spin on it. I didn’t think in 2010 that the trend would last longer than a year or so. I was dead wrong on that. Second, the original jock had been around for decades with out real innovation. Would companies really design new jocks and experiment with fabrics? I really wasn’t sure, but they did and created a really great new category.

 

Some recent developments in the jock world are:

  • Baskit developed the first hybrid, the Jockbrief –As you know it’s taking a brief and giving it a jock back. This only fueled to the jock fenzy
  • N2N Bodywear created jock swimwear – You may say this sounds strange but the pair was very cool. I have two of them and while I never wore them as swim I have worn them as underwear. They were prob the best made jock I ever wore
  • Bike Discontinues #10 Jock – It was a sad day when I learned from Jockstrap Central the #10 jock was being discontinued. This is a classic that all guys should have in their underwear drawer.

There are too many more to mention. Just about every company has their jock. So no matter what your love you can find a jock in that color or fabric! So which kind of jock lover are you? Are you an old school guy? Or Do you love the new? Or a mix of both? Let us know!
