Review Cocksox CSX68 Trunk

October 2, 2014 No Comments

Today’s review is the Cocksox CSX Trunk. I have never tried Cocksox and I was excited to finally try something from them. When I received them I was really excited and couldn’t wait to wear them.

My initial QC review impressed me. The construction was very high quality and I was very impressed with the material used. I don’t thin k I’ve ever tried Supplex but I love this material. The color combination is fun and playful (the pair I got to review was the Azure Blue with white and sea foam trim).

When I pulled them on for my first review day I was very happy with the trunks overall fit and look. I am a sucker for a soft waistband and the CSX waistband was ideal. It was soft and didn’t cause any skin irritation or discomfort.

The leg openings were comfy and not binding or pinching but also did not get saggy. The front pouch was roomy and the butt was comfy without feeling saggy. Two drawbacks to this pair are a seam that runs from the waistband down the center of the butt section, and a seam that runs between the legs openings low on the butt section. A couple times throughout the day I felt it, and that was the only time I even realized I was wearing them.

The material was airy and breathed very nicely and I didn’t overheat or feel sweaty down there. They were a true joy to wear and they stood up to a tough day at work and working out.

These are in my “Special Occasion” drawer, so I don’t wear them as often but save them for those times when only the best will due.

Pros:

Amazing material
Fun color combination
Comfortable, offering great support
Great fit for your butt and crotch
The Supplex material stands up to repeated washes and wearings.

Cons:

The two seams on the butt I mentioned before..

Ratings:

Daily fit – 9.5
Sizing – 10
Construction/Material – 10
Styling – 9.5
Daily Performance – 10
Overall – 9.83

I am going to order more of the CSX from Cocksox. They offer several different cuts and colors and they are a MUST for every mans underwear drawer. Cocksox furnished this pair for review.

Review Marcuse Ultra Brief

September 26, 2014 No Comments

Ever since I started with UNB, I have put some underwear designers on my wish list to try. This week I was excited to learn that one of my dream pairs from Marcuse had arrived for me to review. The pair was the Ultra Brief in white which I had seen in various advertisement photos. On first look, this is a very sexy pair of briefs. You expect to see a basic white brief but instead are met with lines that ad sophistication and sexy curves to the pair. I was also able to instantly tell how soft the fabric was to the touch. I slid the pair on and the sexiness continued.

Anyone who is a fan of briefs knows that there are many different types ranging from basic and sport, to thicker sides and thinner sides, waist level and low rise. This pair was definitely low rise and smaller as they barely came up to the top of my butt. There are people who may find this uncomfortable or feel as though your underwear needs to be pulled up throughout the day. This was not the case here. I wore them through an entire work day, moving around quite a bit, and did not ever feel as though I needed to pull my underwear up. The back of the briefs fit just around the butt with no extra coverage to bother the wearer. At the top of the back there is a thin strap, similar to what I used to see in dress shirts. I did not see a purpose for this strap nor do I find it very visually appealing. It did not bother the pair or its wear ability.

When it comes to smaller briefs, it can be difficult to gauge the sizing factor. I wear a medium and as I mentioned the pair came to the top of my butt. Since it is a smaller brief, it felt very tight on me all day long. I could feel the tightness under my suit. This did not bother me but it is a notable observation that I feel I should share with my fellow UNB readers. With the smaller briefs, there is usually less fabric and less room. I did find the front pouch to be tighter than I expected. I did not feel as though I had much room which led to slight discomfort throughout the day.

Overall, I am happy that I was able to add Marcuse to my underwear drawer. This is a very hot pair and I love the look of it on. The small concerns I had with the pair could be a result of the way it felt on me today and would not keep me from wearing them again. I nominate this pair for a second wear in a few weeks to see how it feels that day. I have complete confidence that they will be even better the second time around.

Pros:

Sexy look
Soft fabric
Low rise fit

Cons:

Smaller front pouch
Back design

Review Gregg Homme Gentleman Briefs

September 17, 2014 No Comments

You may think that Gregg Homme is all about erotic wear. You would be wrong! They are not always about thongs and mesh. They have a line called Gentleman. I had very high hopes for this pair because I love Gregg Homme. I can’t think of any pairs I have ever disliked.

The Gentleman line is Gregg Homme’s take on a basic line. But, unlike most basics, this is still made with some of the fabric Gregg Homme is famous for. I always ask in Vegas about how they find this fabric but they never tell me, it’s a trade secret. The fabric for the Gentleman is a poly spandex with micro modal air jet fabric. What does that mean to you? It won’t fit like cotton basics. It has a very nice feel!

I will say this pair was an interesting change from the other pairs of Gregg Homme. This is one that would very much fit the gym factor. Meaning I could wear it to the gym and bet I wouldn’t get looks. The other pairs I have are the Voyeur Brief, A Net g-string and Jock! I give them props for doing a classic line. The fit was pretty good. My only concern when I first put on was that the pouch was a little snug. It wasn’t tight or binding but just snug. More on that in a sec!

I wore these to the first day of my contract job. Now, I haven’t worked an 8 hour day since over a year ago and it was in an office where I got to wear shorts and t shirts. This is a more Biz casual environment. I was up way early and put them on under my khakis. My worry about the pouch was rarely noticed through out the day. Granted I wish it had a bit bigger pouch though. The fabric allowed me to breath and felt great through the day. This was the most active I have been with a pair, shy of the previous review I did, where I ran through the airport.

The pair I received is an XL. Which fit me very well, its been the size I wear most in Gregg Homme. I’m back to a 38 in waist and working my way back down. So it wasn’t too snug or too lose. If you check the size chart for them you shouldn’t have an issue at all.

Pros:

Amazing fabric
Classic styling
Breathable for a long day

Cons:

Only one is a bigger pouch

Review N2N Bodywear California Dreamin’ Jockstrap

September 7, 2014 No Comments

One 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

Review N2N Bodywear Performance X Short

September 5, 2014 No Comments

How 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.

Review Teamm8 Racer Brief

September 2, 2014 No Comments

There is something comforting about being part of a team. At UNB, I have been able to become part of a great underwear team. A team that brings the underwear loving public what they need and want to know about all things underwear! You can imagine my excitement when Teamm8 became my newest teammate in my underwear drawer.

I received the Teamm8 Racer Brief in Navy. The look of this brief is very athletic and sporty, living up to the company name. It has the athletic theme stripes in the front around the package and a great orange and navy color combination up against the white waistband. A look that I think portrays team spirit. The pair is a cotton and elastane mix which is a great combination for comfortable wear all day. Like many underwear companies today, they allow for extra room in the pouch for the more endowed men and a fuller cut in the back for the butt men.

I wore the pair through my typical work day as I normally do with my new underwear pairs. To me, it is important to see if a pair can handle an average day, otherwise it does not pop up in rotation too often. This pair did not disappoint! I was comfortable all day long. I did not have any problems with chaffing, riding up, or excessive adjustment.

I wear a medium and when I received this pair it was a small. I was nervous because my first thought was “oh great these won’t fit.” I was wrong. They fit me great. I was pleasantly surprised that a small fit me so well and they did not feel too small throughout the day. Teamm8’s website does reference this by saying “if you don’t need the extra room, just order a size smaller.” Although this is good advice before purchasing, it may confuse many customers who wonder if they are endowed enough or have a bigger butt for their normal size or a size down. I consider myself average but would have not ordered a small just from my typical ordering habits.

Overall, if you get the right size, you won’t be disappointed when you wear the pair. They say there is no “I” in team but I sure am glad that I am in this Teamm8 pair!

Pros:

Extra room in the front and back
Comfortable material
Appealing, sporty look

Cons:

Sizing concerns
Low color selection

Review Andrew Christian Teaser Jock with Show-It Technology

August 23, 2014 No Comments

It’s interesting how I ended up saving one of my final Andrew Christian pairs to review for the end of the week and I felt like it incorporated many of my previous pairs aspects. To me, this pair seemed to bring parts of several other pairs into one unique jockstrap. This pair is the Teaser Jock with Show-It Technology. Upon glancing at this pair, it seemed to incorporate aspects of other jockstraps including the Jumper Jock and the Bubble Butt jockstrap. This pair has the basic jockstrap back, the front straps similar to the Jumper Jock and the open “V” cut out in front like the Bubble Butt jockstrap. Both of these jocks had definite tease appeal which brings it to the name of the Teaser Jock. This jockstrap is all about feeling sexy and teasing your audience and when I slipped it on, I had a sense of sexiness take over that I loved. Underwear should make you feel something whether it is confident, sexy, or comfortable and this pair did that for me.

I gave this jockstrap a test run over the weekend. I love cleaning house in next to nothing, whether a jockstrap or thong. This pair of underwear held up through my chores, errands, and dinner with friends. It was a good combination of my past thongs into one and held up well over the course of the day. One thing that I found interesting on this pair was that whenever I went to the bathroom, I felt like my member slipped through the “V” when putting him back in. I will admit, it was a little annoying but that is the price you pay for a sexy front cut out. Besides that small movement, everything else with the underwear fit and functioned fine. I like how this pair of underwear combined the appealing aspects of the previous pairs into one.

Once again Andrew Christian succeeds in their sizing. I wear a medium and the pair fit perfectly in all of its areas. The front, sides, and back held onto my body with no problems at all. It is nice to see a company be able to do practical, comfortable, sexy, and more in a variety of styles and alterations while still staying true to the figure. It is almost as if Andrew Christian understood what their customers wanted and took all of those positives and put it into one. No wonder it is limited edition! Get it while you can!

The final Andrew Christian pair is on tap for tomorrow. Sunday funday! Come check it out….

Pros:

Tempting look
Unusual limited edition
Sizing perfection

Cons:

“V” cut out interferes with bathroom movement
Limited edition means limited options

Review Andrew Christian C-Ring Brief Jock

August 22, 2014 No Comments

It’s Friday! Fetish Friday to be exact! What better way to celebrate this day than a steamy pair of underwear sure to start the weekend off right.Andrew Christian released a pair of underwear that leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination. The C-Ring Brief Jock is sure to get you counting down to 5:00pm and ready for a hot date night. This jockstrap features a cock ring like front that enhances your package and a butt lifting jockstrap support in the back. A pair that enhances all the way around. The cock ring like front adds a lift to the package and an open hole for the entire package to be out and freely exposed. I slipped the pair on, got everything positioned, and looked down to see my package out and about in all of its glory. The front of the underwear, except for the hole that your package is exposed through, is similar to a brief. This can definitely be appealing for those who like the fit of a brief versus a jockstrap or minimal front.

My Friday was similar to my other days of the week, taking the pair through the normal work day routines. It was interesting wearing this pair with the open front because I found myself double checking to make sure my zipper was closed. You can definitely feel that you are a little more exposed which is both frightening and intriguing all the same. The C-Ring was not uncomfortable but it did feel a little tight at the base of the package where the fabric meets the skin. This is the same feeling that I had in a previous Andrew Christian pair that was package enhancing. The back fits similar to any other jockstrap with straps that lift the butt and add a comfortable feeling.

I wear a medium and as usual Andrew Christian fits the body perfectly for their man. With all of the Andrew Christian pairs I own and have reviewed in the past week, I can clearly state that Andrew Christian stays true to their waistband and makes pairs of underwear that fit your body in all of the right places and with no problems. If you are looking for a completely exposing and sexual pair of underwear, this is a great pair to get you through the day and ready for a fun night to remember. Trust me, I saw the eyes of the other when my pants slid off!

Andrew Christian week is nearing its end. Stay tuned for a weekend finale….

Fetish friendly

Review – Andrew Christian Trophy Boy Spider Thong

August 21, 2014 No Comments

Happy Thong Thursday everyone! Naturally I had to celebrate with Andrew Christian‘s Trophy Boy Spider Thong with Show-It Technology. I love the look of these spider thongs because of all of the straps and cutouts that really let you feel sexy and show off some skin. Taking a look at this thong you immediately notice a few things. First there are the additional side straps underneath the waistband making the pair look more like a spider web with all of the different lines. These straps meet in the back at a wider top triangle than most thongs. The straps add a pleasant image to the sides of the thong as it allows a section of skin to show that is usually revealed when wearing a thong anyways, but this adds a level of excitement and sex appeal. Another thing you will notice is the built in pouch in the front that enhances your bulge. Slipping the pair on, it is important to make sure you get your entire package into the pouch in front for the best profile and comfort.

The thong held up quite well during my workday as I did all of the normal movements of sitting, standing, walking, and driving. I enjoy giving underwear test runs through the work day because it is important to find pairs that can be a significant part of your drawer and become in rotation for everyday wear and not just special occasions. The strap in back never felt uncomfortable which I appreciate with thongs. Nothing is worse than wearing a thong where the back strap rubs or irritates your butt all day. All of the straps stayed in place and were comfortable all day long. The extra straps on the side didn’t bunch up or tighten the pair at all. The only slight discomfort I felt during the day was how tight the front pouch was around my package. I consider myself average in that department and I felt as though the front pouch was too constricted throughout the day. I have never worn a cockring for any length of time but that is what I felt like it probably resembled. For some, this may be a pro and not a con.

I purchased a medium as that is my normal size and the underwear stayed true to size. As I mentioned above, the only area I did not feel that it fit right was in the enhancing front pouch. I would not rule this out and would definitely wear this pair again. It was not enough to turn me off from the pair. The pair still continues to turn me on and hopefully a partner when seen!

Andrew Christian week continues tomorrow with a Friday fun special treat….

Review – Andrew Christian Almost Naked Jumper Jock

August 20, 2014 No Comments

You know what Wednesday is, Hump Day! When I think of hump day, I think of a butt, which makes me think of underwear that shows off a butt. So for this hump day, I bring you the Andrew Christian Almost Naked Jumper Jock. This jock is very similar to all of the other jocks on the site at first glance. Notably different on the front are 2 cut outs on both sides of the pouch that show a little front skin, teasing your viewer. I love this. Anything that can add skin or a tease is a plus in my book!

I slipped this pair on for hump day to tackle a long work day of all of my usual movements. On a side note, it was interesting to wear this jockstrap after wearing the Andrew Christian Bubble Butt jock on Monday which had the additional straps across the butt. I wondered where the extra boast was when I slipped this pair on! Part of me missed them. Reading the product description of this pair really talks about how free the front pouch makes you feel and how enjoyable it is that you do not have to worry about the traditional chafing, squashing and re-adjusting. I have to say that Andrew Christian did this justice as I was comfortable all day long! Many people do not think of wearing a jockstrap throughout the day. It has become associated with sports or exercise. I appreciate the feel of this jock. It felt very freeing underneath my suit, both in the front and the back. By the end of the day, I had been so comfortable I forgot about comparing the extra straps that morning.

My typical medium fit great. Andrew Christian seems to be 100% accurate when it comes to sizing. I never have any problems with his underwear and their fit and this one met all expectations. It is important to know that a designer can make briefs, boxers, thongs, and jocks, various styles of each, that all fit true to who you are. This jockstrap is a limited edition which means it won’t be around long and will not be repeated down the road. I recommend adding this special one to your drawer. Jump on this chance!

Tomorrow is Thong Thursday, see what is coming up….

Pros:

Comfortable, freeing fit
Unique design

Cons:

Too basic in color and limited edition!

Review – Andrew Christian Trophy Boy G String

August 19, 2014 No Comments

To continue my Andrew Christian marathon week I decided to try out the new Andrew Christian Trophy Boy G String. First I have to say that I love how companies like Andrew Christian can make both styles of thongs, the g string and the thong. Many people may think they are similar but their structure is different and I appreciate anyone who is able to understand the two separately. This g-string is built like most others which features extra thin straps along the waist band and up the back with a very little pouch in front to cover the package.

When I first slipped the pair on, I was in awe of its beautiful sexy look. Thongs and g-strings have such a signature look that they make you feel sexy and take you to a new persona the moment you put them on. I love this about them. For me, I feel different and I feel sexy and that is what underwear should make you do. It should be a showcase of how you feel. I made sure all of the straps were perfectly in place before I slipped some pants on and proceeded with my day. There is a nice little “Trophy Boy” tag on the side strap and yes, today, I was my own trophy boy! I instantly felt like I had nothing on underneath my pants which was great! Nothing was tight or uncomfortable. The sides and back felt naked and the strap up the back did not rub or feel awkward in anyway. Even if you are a beginner with thongs, I think this pair would not intimidate you.

The whole day I felt naked underneath my pants or like anything was barely there. This is a great feeling because it shows an incredible attention to comfort and allows something so sexy such as a g-string to become a pair of underwear you can wear outside of the bedroom. One of the only negative things about the wear and tear of the g-string is that the thin straps on the side will twist and turn with your movement all day. If you are OCD, you will find yourself adjusting the strap to get the “Trophy Boy” tag facing correctly and everything looking just right. The front pouch is nice because it has the flexibility to be as wide or as narrow as you want it to be. Like the side straps, the pouch will bunch up as the day goes on. A simple adjustment can fix this in no time.

For the basic g-string, this pair takes it a step up. It’s beautiful in looks and despite a few small adjustments needed here and there, it is a perfect addition to the sexy side of your drawer. The bottom line is, this g-string stands for GREAT!

Andrew Christian week continues tomorrow with a hump day special! Stay tuned….

Pros:

Visual appeal
Pouch flexibility
Comfort and material

Cons:

Strap movement and twisting
Pouch bunching

Review – Andrew Christian Teaser Bubble Butt Jock

August 18, 2014 No Comments

I decided to have an Andrew Christian jock and thong marathon week and wear a new pair of underwear each day. To start off the week, I wore the Andrew Christian Teaser Bubble Butt Jockstrap on Monday. At first glance this jockstrap caught my eye with its sleek design which shows skin and teases in all of the right places. The front pouch has a “V” cut out at the top underneath the waistband, showing off some skin and a slight hint of the base of then penis. This is a definite tease for anyone who is looking to show off some serious skin in the front! The back is cut like a basic jockstrap but features two additional straps up across the butt, keeping everything tight and appealing, for the men who have a great bubble butt! I slid the pair on, put all of the straps in place, and immediately felt the tension of the two added straps to my butt. It was tighter than most jockstraps but I did not mind it. Anything that can enhance a part of a man is a good thing in my book!

I wore the jockstrap through my workday which consists of all of the normal movements one would go through in the course of the day. I felt comfortable all day long. I definitely could feel the additional straps and they stood out in my mind more than anything else on the pair. You will definitely notice and feel the additional straps on your butt but not to the point that makes the pair awkward or uncomfortable. They are there to enhance your butt, adding to your profile and roundness. Depending on the guy, this can be a huge benefit to this pair. A few minor adjustments throughout the day at the base of the pair where the four straps meet may be required. I did adjust a few times to get more comfortable. The “V” cut out in front is very sexy and I love looking down being able to see some of my shaft. This will be a great pair for any guy on a date looking to give a little tease and skin to his partner.

I wear a medium and the jockstrap was 100% true to size. It fit me great and I had no problems anywhere with the sizing. I was comfortable all day long. I had enough room in the pouch and no issues that led to uncomfortable incorrect sizing.

I love how Andrew Christian can take so many pairs of underwear and enhance them in small ways that make such a big impact. His sophisticated yet sexy take on underwear is why he is so successful and present in the media.

Tomorrow morning I will slip into another one of his creative designs. Stay tuned……

Pros:

Butt Support
Fit
Tease capability

Cons:

The tightness of the additional straps could bother some wearers by noticing it all day
Adjusting at bottom with a lot of movement

Review Sly Collective Lotus Brief

August 9, 2014 No Comments

Today I am super excited to get to review the Sly Lotus Brief. I have had the great luck to get to review a pair of Sly boxer briefs. So when I got the briefs I was ecstatic. Upon opening the packaging and taking them out, I LOVE the feel of the fabric and the bold colors and super fun comic inset panel.

The material and the construction is top quality, just like the boxer briefs I already have. The wide waistband is bold and fun. They brand name SLY is in reverse in white on the blue waistband. The material is 95% cotton 5% elastane and is soft and comfy. One really fun option Sly has is a small pocket sewed onto the front of the underwear. It’s the perfect size for a condom. So you can always be prepared when you need it most.

I was excited to put them on and wear them for the first time. When I put them on I loved the feel and the look of them on me. They were comfortable and sexy. The fit of Sly underwear is amazing. There was plenty of room in the pouch and the fit on the butt was great. The leg openings were not so tight that they cut into me but not so lose that they felt like they were falling off.

Throughout the day they were a pleasure to wear. They didn’t cause me to feel hot or sweaty and they stayed in place. At times I felt like I was wearing nothing at all.

These briefs have been added to my regular rotation of underwear and I have worn them once after my initial trial. The second time they were as great as the first wear.

Pros:

Great material
Amazing print
Comfortable, from the beginning of the day to the end of the day
Great fit for your butt and crotch
Stands up after washing and wearing several times
Condom pocket

Cons:

I really cannot think of a con.

I totally recommend you guys give the Sly Rest Easy Brief a try. Sly seems to know how to make great underwear. If you wear briefs, trunks or boxer briefs, give them a try and you will be hooked.

Review Cocksox CSX03 Waistband Brief

August 6, 2014 No Comments

The pair I am reviewing is the CSX03 Waistband Brief. I was so excited to open the package and see another pair of CSX. After reviewing a pair of CSX Boxer Briefs I wanted more. The color of this pair was amazing too. It is called Aqua Splash…which is light blue, with a darker blue waistband. The material was super soft as well which I love when I get a new pair of underwear. Let me say, I am one who likes to wash new clothing before every wearing it…but not these…I wanted them on! I wore them the next day after getting them.

I decided to wear this pair on a Tuesday which meant I was working both of my jobs. I sit at a desk for part of my job and then the other job is getting up and down doing shipment at a clothing store in the mall. So I like a pair that will move with me and feels comfortable to hours and hours.

When I put this pair on the first thing I noticed was the pouch. It doesn’t fit everything, just mainly your cock. I don’t mind that…except when I am trying to pull on my jeans and the underwear just puts that right out in front. The pair though fit perfect on my bubble butt. It help perfectly and didn’t ride up or feel too tight at all. I don’t remember have to adjust this pair at all through the day.

The pair is a size small which covers 28 to 30 inch waists. The pair fit me perfectly. The pair looked awesome on my ass and the pouch fit me perfectly. The pair is made of 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra®. According to their website Supplex is the feel of cotton with more technology.

I really loved this pair of underwear. The pair is so comfortable that I will be wearing them often. These have jumped up my list of favorite underwear for sure. I will be purchasing more of these for sure!

Pros:

Held up throughout the movements of my day
Fun color
The fabric is super soft and comfortable

Cons:

The pouch forced my cock out a little far so zipping up jeans was difficult.

CX03 Waistband Brief Review

July 28, 2014 No Comments

On the review table for today is the CXO3 Waistband Brief from Cocksox. This is my first pair of underwear from Cocksox. I was pretty excited when the package arrived and I realized what was inside. Getting underwear is always fun, we all know that. Upon examining them

I realized I was sent a pair of small briefs. As you know I usually wear briefs in medium. I was a bit concerned by this considering how small they looked when I held them up. The fabric was soft and seemed stretchy enough to form to my butt and provide me with all day coverage. I also took notice of the pouch and was curious to see how that fit, but more on that later.

When I wear a pair of underwear to review I prefer to go about my day as normal. Doing abnormal activities wouldn’t allow me to give you all an honest and fair judgment. Keeping true to this I wore them to work. The key thing to mention here is that my pants are fairly tight fitting. This is where it is important to mention the pouch of the underwear. They push all your package right out front and don’t really allow them to be pushed back. While wearing tighter pants this very evident as things could be seen through my pants. Maybe this is why my sales for the day were better than everyone else’s. As for the rest of wear, they stayed put. No wedgies or misplaced leg holes throughout the day. I will say that taking a bathroom break and trying to tuck myself back into the pouch was a bit challenging. Once I was situated back into them I again took notice of my frontal protrusion. Kinda funny really.

I mentioned earlier that I was sent a size small to test out. Yes, I was concerned about how they would fit. To be very honest I do feel that a medium would have been better, but the smalls weren’t bad either. The rule I follow is that I wear small trunks and medium briefs, in most cases. I always wear small jocks, except for Unico. Exceptions to every rule you see. This is a pair where following my rule for briefs would have been best. According the website for Cocksox they do follow American sizing, but again we all know what works best for each of us.

Did I like them? Well to be honest, I’m still on the fence about that. On one hand they were comfortable. The material used to make them was soft and despite not being my usual size choice, still conformed nicely to my butt. On the other hand though, they were a bit revealing and forceful in the way they presented my package. I have found that a lot of the other lifting pouches still allow your outer clothing to push your package back not allowing too much to be revealed. I think if I had worn them in a different setting they might have not shown as much, but again I want to give a fair review and most of my underwear will see a day work at some point or another. I did ask my boyfriend for his thoughts and well, he said the front looked like a Peep. I wish I was making that up. I guess my final thought on whether I liked them or not is that yes, they are fun, but I’d probably go for a less pronounced pouch in the future.

Review – Andrew Christian Almost Naked Infinity Thong

July 27, 2014 No Comments

I live in the brutally hot Midwest, so in my quest to get back into the underwear game I immediately started searching out thong options from my favorite designers. I ventured to Andrew Christian and found one of the most interesting looking thongs I have ever seen. There were cutouts in the front and a cutout in the back. While everything was held together by half of a jockstrap style waistband in the back. Of course, I am talking about the Almost Naked Infinity Thong from Andrew Christian. I was hooked on the look, but unfortunately AC’s website had already sold out of my XL size. I was down on my luck until I remembered AC stocks an online store through Amazon! I checked there and boom! Plenty of XLs still available so I picked it and another couple pairs up.

Obviously, the look of this thong’s design is eye-catching and that, and maybe the hot pink color drew me in at first. I was really concerned from its design alone that it may not really work for me. I was apprehensive about the aggressive and almost feminine “cutouts” in the front of the thong and I was unsure how comfortable the rear string or strap would be given its look. I couldn’t judge this book by its color so I was thrilled when it arrived and tried it on first. After a little maneuvering it looked about how it did in the picture, and I was pleasantly surprised at how it fit.

The front is sturdy because the straps that form the cutout are made of a sturdy elastic covered in Andrew Christians soft rayon fabric. The quality of construction provides a tighter than usual fit. The cutouts are purely for visual appeal, because the overall construction of the front provides you with the same fit as just about any one of the brand’s brief. Which is consistent with their previous Almost Naked line thongs. The back of the thong is less thong and more “Brazilian bikini” with the fabric that rests on and between your cheeks mimicking the lower portion of a bikini. The only difference and one that gives this more of a thong look generally is the huge cutout in the back. The cutout along with the waistband I mentioned earlier makes the rear also require some “adjustments” before you get it in the most comfortable of places.

Once you get it adjusted, you shouldn’t have too many issues from there–at least I didn’t. The cutouts that make this thong what it is also really assist in keeping you cool, which is invaluable in the hot summers here. The fit does take some getting used to. Which is a result of the design more than anything else, but these are a real eye-catcher, so try not to spend too much time standing in front of a mirror in them. The pouch is ample and soft and the rayon hugs you in comfort.

As far as where, or how you can wear this–I am confident that this is a thong that can be worn for just about any occasion, save maybe a rigorous workout. Unfortunately it was so popular that it sold out quickly on AndrewChristian.com, but I think if you act quickly you can still find most sizes on Amazon.com.

If you’re looking for something sexy to spice things up in the bedroom, surprise your current love interest, or even give yourself a boost of sexual confidence before heading to work, you should check this thong out.

Pros:

Good Looking/Sexy
Adventurous
Fun design

Cons:

Not the easiest to keep in place.
May not fit everyone’s definition of everyday wear.

Review – Andrew Christian Limited Edition Twerk Brief

July 26, 2014 No Comments

After being away from the world of men’s underwear for so long and wanting to get back into it in the worst way, I knew I needed to score some of the most up-to-date pairs. Andrew Christian has always been one of my favorites, if not my favorite brand, mainly because I am a bigger guy. Once I discovered their “Anatomically Correct” pouch designs I was instantly hooked (and all other well-endowed guys need to try AC). So it was a no brainer then, to log onto AndrewChristian.com to see what was new.

Flashing in front of me was the “Twerk” Brief, complete with glossy pictures of chiseled male models standing in both the red and black colors. A video so blatantly homo-erotic that I didn’t even think before clicking past it and seeing what sizes were available. Let me start with the name of these, the “Twerk” brief–clearly a play on the famous ass-shaking dance move made famous by YouTube and that Miley Cyrus made infamous overnight–I am not a fan. Twerking was cool back when it didn’t have a name and it could be seen in every Nelly music video ever made–but alas it actually works (sort of) for this pair of briefs.

Why you ask? Well since Twerking typically involves big butts, this brief is built for guys with bubble or power butts. This “accommodation” for those of us with bigger booties is accomplished by a more severe “drop” in the seat of these briefs along with somewhat of a barely noticeable pleating of material at the apex of the leg opening, which stretches accommodatingly once they get pulled on over a bubble butt.

The result is quite frankly one of the most comfortable pairs of underwear I have ever owned, and that’s saying something considering my collection is pushing 200 pairs. The brief utilizes 93% rayon which is a fabric made from bamboo fibers and its just about the softest fabric you can put in underwear. The “Anatomically Correct” pouch lets your goods hang the way they were meant to, and the room in the pouch of these particular briefs is pushing “Trophy Boy” territory and for guys like me, that’s just one more reason I love these briefs. The sizing of these is also very generous which is fairly typical of all of the rayon briefs Andrew Christian offers. I wear a 36 in jeans which means I am technically about a 40″ waist, but the XL (34-36) fits me fine. If your pant size is the lower number in Andrew Christian’s range, you are going to want to size down in this particular brief.

As far as looks go, Andrew Christian the designer knows what he is doing when it comes to Limited Edition underwear. The color scheme of a uniformed light blue background underneath red lettering on a white waistband offers a modern take on retro. I love the color combination of the shade of blue and bright red in the piping the frame the pouch. XLs were sold out in both colors just a day after the brief was released, but using the sneaky tip you’ll only get from me. I found them on Amazon in XL in Red, though upon further research there are some AC online distributors that still have full-size runs on both colors of this LE Twerk Brief.

I’ve worn the brief two or three times since I bought them-a full day’s wear each time, and I honestly could be happy with an underwear drawer full of them. I suppose the only downside to this brief is that they are truly meant for guys with bigger behinds. So if you’ve got a flat butt and still want these, you may have to size down once, if not twice to get your desired fit. But be careful doing this as you may sacrifice comfort up front for not having extra material in the seat. If you ARE athletically built, or just have good big-butt genetics, don’t wait to pick these up, you will be glad you did.

Pros:

Incredibly comfortable, especially for guys with bubble butts like mine
The pouch is ample despite it being a brief focused on rear-end accommodation
Looks great

Cons:

If you don’t have a bubble butt, you may just have to pass on these.

Review N2N Bodywear Vintage Trunk

July 25, 2014 No Comments

I 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

Daily Fit – 9.5

Review CR7 Blue and White Trunk from Bang and Strike

July 24, 2014 No Comments

Today I am excited to review the CR7 cotton stretch Trunk. This is the signature line by soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo. He has a great line of underwear and hosiery for men and boys.

The timing of receiving these was perfect. The world cup was playing and wore them while watching the cup lol.

My first impression of these after my visual quality inspection was high. The material was soft and stretchy. The stripes were manly but fun. The seams and construction were very high quality. The wide waistband in slight grey and dark blue have a metallic shimmer to them and the contrasting white trim and leg openings add to the great look of these trunks.

When I put them on I was pleased with the feel of the material. I have never been a huge fan of cotton because they often stretch and fade. These trunks fit amazingly when I put them on and they did not get lose and baggy as the day went on. They kept their shape throughout the day. I wore them on a busy day at work and I never once had to adjust myself. The legs did not ride up on me at all.

The cotton was light and I didn’t have an issue with sweat. It was a hot day but these trunks kept me cool and comfy. The waistband was super comfy and non-binding. It didn’t roll or dig into me at all while wearing them.

I wear a size medium and these fit perfectly. The sizing is spot on.

Pros:

Great material
Fun striped material
Great non binding waistband
Comfortable, from the beginning of the day to the end of the day
Great fit for your butt and crotch
Sexy looking while wearing them.

Cons:

Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t deliver them lol

But really, I cannot think of a con with this underwear

Review N2N Bodywear Signature Trunks

July 16, 2014 No Comments

Today 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

Review of Teamm8 Double Dash Trunk

July 15, 2014 No Comments

I have to admit that I am more of a brief guy, I have been wearing ‘speedo’ swimwear since around the age of 14, so for over 35 years. So I was a little skeptical when I was asked to review a ‘square cut’ suit . The Double Dash Trunk by teamm8 is not a typical square cut suit. I have to admit, it is a very comfortable square cut suit. I have tried other brand name square cut suits but have never felt this comfortable in a square cut trunk. I was fortunate to have the navy trunk with white waistband and orange drawstring, great color combination.

When I first pulled the suit on I was amazed at the feel of the material made of 80% nylon and 20% elastane. The features a small functional pocket with a sleek zipper on the right hip. The pocket is almost undetectable except for the orange zipper pull peaking out from under the concealing navy flap. On the left hip is a tastefully heat embossed teamm8 logo in orange and white. The drawstring is a smart contrasting orange against the white waistband made out of a sturdy nylon and plastic bullet ends on the end to prevent fraying. The suit is lined in the front with a single panel of coolmax lining and does not bunch as in other suits like this I have worn. The back of the suit has a center seam to give the suit an improved fit and comfort, it basically sculpts the rear, not flattens the it.

I have worn the suit to the beach and the community pool and have received several positive comments about the suit, wife approves too. I have to say for a ‘speedo’ guy I am beginning to like the teamm8 Double Dash trunk. It offers more coverage than the traditional brief / bikini when more coverage is required. The suit dries quickly and works well under a pair of regular shorts , just incase an impromptu occasion calls for a swim. For the more modest that want to wear a more form fitting suit and not give up style I would highly recommend the Double Dash trunk by teamm8.

This suit has impressed me when it comes to square cut swim trunks. I will definately recommend these anyone that asks about square cut swim trunks. Great to wear under scuba suits to prevent bunching and chafing from baggy board shorts and traditional loose fitting swim trunks.

When considering a teamm8 suit the sizing is a follows and is true to size: xsmall 2830, Small 3032, medium 3234, large 3436, xlarge 3638 and xxlarge is 3840. Free standard shipping in the Australia. Standard overseas orders over $50 are shipped free! Only $10 shipping on overseas orders under 50. Express shipping is offered too, $10 in Australia and $25 overseas. The price for this awesome suit is $74 AUD which is appoxametly $70 USD, and can be found online at www.teamm8.com

Pros:

Comfortable alone or under other clothing. Does not ‘ride’ up like other square cut. Material is very soft and durable.
Styling is subtle and tasteful.
Variety of colors offered.
Lining is comfortable and does not bunch.

Cons:

Waistband will tend to ‘roll’
