Review – OrcaBlu Swim Brief

2 Comments

IMG_3523

Yes I know, Pool season is over.  For many of us, it’s time to bundle up and brave chilly weather as we go about our daily activities.  But that also means it’s time to start shopping for swimsuits to wear next Spring.  I personally love buying swimwear at this time of year; you can find some great deals.  One of the hottest brands to hit the market in the last few years is Orca Blu Beachwear.  Offering suits in vibrant colors and patterns, this Florida based company is ready to  help you make a statement at the pool and beach.

I received a one of their signature bikini swimsuits to review.  Since it’s too cool to lay out anymore, I decided to wear it to the pool at a local gym to get some laps in.  I got a few inquisitive looks in the locker room and as I entered the pool area, as I was certainly not wearing the typical suit you see guys swimming laps in.  I swam a quick 800 meters (and by quick I mean I was trying to keep the ladies in the next lane who had just finished doing aquarobics  from passing me).   The suit felt comfortable and secure the whole time.  I can’t wait to wear it in warmer weather in the sun; perfect reason for me to schedule a much needed vacation to someplace tropical.

Multi-colored and definitely eye-catching, this suit will make you a hit at the local watering holes.    With a full seat and wider sides, it’s a great suit for the guy that is used to wearing more of a trunk style but wants to branch out into speedo cut suits.  The waistband is a a solid color that offsets the pattern of the suit well, and the seams are barely noticeable.    There is no drawstring, so I’d use caution when diving into a pool.  The suit I received is a small, which fit my 31” waist perfectly and gave me enough room in the seat and the pouch.

Pros:

  • great support
  • bright colors and patterns
  • polyester/lycra blend feels great

Cons:

  • no drawstring

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Materials – 10
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance  – 8

Review – NDS Gold Anatomical Pouch Jock

No Comments

abcunderwear_2272_10887956I am really excited to get back into the swing of UNB by reviewing this jock. I had a hiatus this summer because I was working at a job with no internet connection…and then moved across the country. So this undies writer is now a Seattleite 🙂 In my new apartment’s mailbox last week, arrived this gem. I had never heard of NDS before I got this jock. I had no preconceived notions, but I was very excited from what I opened. When I first took it out, I saw that it was going with the “new” cut of jock (referring to not just the pouch in front, but more of a brief cut in the front). And the back is a traditional jock (not the brief jock that looks like a brief in back with a porthole cut out) with straps.

I googled my jock and found that it is available in black and a really vivid purple (I got the black).

Upon fondling the pair a bit before trying it on, I became really eager to see how it fit. The fabric is a 95% Viscose 5% Spandex blend, Viscose being the derivative of Rayon (a great man-made substitute for silk made out of cellulose fibers (wood pulp mostly). I’m a sucker for Rayon, it just ends up having a better feel to it than cotton. The pouch definitely had room in it, but the straps felt secure. Obviously, you can’t see this pair without noticing the BIG DEAL, the sexy 1 1/4” gold waistband. It’s pretty bold, but I’ve never shied away from bold undies before. Another few things I like about the undies are the fact that the butt-straps are cut WITH the front pouch, as in, there is no seam where the butt-straps get sewn on. The fabric from the front pouch just glides up and over the hips and then thins out into a butt-strap. The front pouch has a VERY comfortable front seam down the center. I literally had to check with my hand cause I couldn’t tell just by wearing it.

So now, let’s get to putting it on. It fits very nicely, snug without being tight. I am a 34-36 underwear size kind of guy, and Tim sent me a Large which is listed as 34-36”. Perfect fit. NDS makes this pair in small through 2XL, but they do have a 2$ materials surcharge for cuts above XL (I find that a bit annoying, 2$, really?). The butt-straps are pretty much perfect, they are comfortable, sit just at the right place without really needing to do any manual adjustments (except for the first trying on moment, but that’s the case with any jock right?). There is no chance of awkward tag-sightings, because they sewed their label right above your junk. I didn’t even know it was there, I’d risk to say if you go for the “bald” look down there, maybe you’ll notice the tag.

I wore this around town, and to a hot yoga class (more than once). It is probably my new favorite jock. It fits in all the right places, has room in all the right places, doesn’t need constant strap adjustment. The fabric feels great, even after 2 rounds in the laundry (I washed it just like I do all my clothes, cold water wash, medium heat on dryer). My only real negative I can think of is maybe it’s a bit too roomy in the pouch, but I think that’s a personal thing (I’m not small, but I’m not one of those droopy elephant trunk kind of guys either)

PROs:

  • Sexy waistband/butt-straps.
  • No midday/midyoga adjustments needed.
  • Great feel on skin.

CONs:

  • Limited color range
  • I don’t own more of them
  • Seriously, I can’t think of any.
  • Maybe a little too roomy in the pouch.

RATINGS:

  • Daily Fit: 9
  • Sizing: 8
  • Construction/Materials: 10
  • Styling: 8
  • Daily Performance: 9
  • OVERALL: 8.8

Review – NDS Gold Status Brief

No Comments

 

abcunderwear_2272_8458693This isn’t the first time we have reviewed NDS Wear. To me they are the little brand that could. Meaning that they make some really great underwear that is underrated. It has been a few years since we reviewed them so I’m glad we have them back! In the previous reviews the sheer brief I reviewed, was one of my favorite pairs. It had a great pouch and an amazing fit. But, I lost 75 pounds and can no longer wear it.

The pair I received was the Gold Status Brief. When I took it out of the package, I immediately noticed the gold waistband. The waistband is one of the most favorite things on a pair of underwear to me. So right away I loved it. Then I noticed the color, the black material really sets off the waistband. It is made with an ergonomically designed pouch. Again something I love and really wanted this pair to live up to the hopes I put in it!

I wore this to work and I really have to get a new routine to test underwear. But let’s face it; most of us wear our underwear to work more then anywhere else. So it’s not a bad test. If you’re like me, if you ever wear a bad pair to work it will drive you crazy. But the pouch really held up well.  I was very pleased with it. It held everything in place and felt good. It never rode up or gave me any problems. I would dare to say you could wear this pair being a bit more active or even to the gym. But the gold waistband may catch a few eyes.  The only real problem was the waistband had a tendency to roll a bit.

Sizing in this pair was pretty good. I received a Large. I am roughly a 36-38 right now. It wasn’t too tight on me. I probably should have asked for an XL since the sizing is 34-36. But it wasn’t band. This pair also goes up to XXL. Which is great for guys who are bigger and want some great undies. XXL is a 40-42, which is my old size, well more on the 42!

Pros:

  • Great Gold Waistband
  • Erognomic Pouch
  • Made out of soft Rayon/Spandex Blend

Cons

  • Waistband seemed to roll some

Ratings;

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 8

Review – Joe Snyder Active Wear Jockstrap

No Comments

t_producto388_24

Over the last year or so, Joe Snyder has become one of my favorite brands. The new Pride Frame line bikini is probably in the top 10 of my favorite pairs right now. When they refreshed the line, I was super happy to have another pair of them. The newest release from Joe Snyder is the Activewear Line. It’s one they told me about over a year ago and I was very excited to hear about it.

The Activewear is a bit of a departure from Joe Snyder. This one features a more defined pouch and a signature waistband. Previous lines rarely had a branded waistband. Granted they had a few but none that entire focus was the waist band. This one it’s front and center and carried through all pairs in this collection. I personally love this new design features. Nothing sets off a pair of undies like a waistband.

One of the best things about Joe Snyder is the quality of their undies. They make them out of really great fabrics and the construction is always made great. Joe Snyder makes fun yet very masculine underwear.

I wore the pair to work when I knew it was going to be an active day. I figured since I was in a jock why not put it to the test right? It held up very well. I loved the construction of the leg straps and the nylon/spandex pouch. The waistband which i loved, was a bit tight at the end on the day. I should have gone up a size. I”m right on the boarder of the size chart. But if you’re an underwear fan you know sometimes it can be hard to pick the right size. The pouch fit well too. As many of you know pouches are very important to me. I prefer contoured pouches and this one fit me well.

The sizing if you follow the guide should be pretty much on. I am right on the boarder between sizes. As I said above, when you are at the cut off for brands it’s hard to actually pick a right size. Also gaining a few pounds didn’t help the matter. But if you follow their guide you should have no problems with this line. They are out of Mexico so the sizing on other lines may run smaller.

Pros:

  • Love the new design, they stepped outside their box
  • Great new Waistband
  • Bigger pouch
  • Great bright color selection

Cons

  • I’m in between sizing so was a little small

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 7
  • Construction/Materials – 8.5
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Wear -8
  • Overall – 8.1

Review – Marcuse Bounce Brief

1 Comment

marcuse-bounce-brief

Marcuse is a brand I had never heard of before receiving the test pair.  It is yet another import from an Australian company. AUS seems to be home to a growing number of designer underwear manufacturers.  This review covers their ‘bounce brief.’

This pair is made in China from a blend of 90% modal/10% elastane.   I am a fan of modal blends which are really soft and have a lot of stretch to them.  The fabric used in this pair is extremely thin, almost sheer.  It is very comfortable, but the use of such thin fabric has some tradeoffs which I’ll get into later.

The cut of this pair is closer to what I’d consider to be a bikini than a brief.   The sides are quite narrow, tapering down to about 1″ (excluding the waistband thickness) and creating a higher arch along the edge of the leg hole as it moves back.  I don’t mind that cut, but figure someone considering purchasing this pair should realize what it is.

I do like the manufacturer’s choice of color panels.  These pairs have a two-tone scheme which is not completely apparent in the photos since the alternate color panel only exists in the few inches of your… ahem, how should I phrase it… taint region?  Again, not completely visible, but I think it’s a nice touch.  Similarly, the exterior stitching in the contrasting color is aesthetically pleasing.  Not too garish.

I had an extremely easy day wearing these.  I did very little physical activity.  I essentially sat at my desk for 9 hours and then drove home.  In spite of this relative softball of a day the underwear had a hard time staying put.  It didn’t ride up at all, but what I found was that the narrow parts of the sides and front became a bit twisted or bunched up on themselves.  Looking at how this pair was made I see two possible culprits.

First, going back to the fabric, like I said it is very thin which is comfortable, but I also suspect limits its ability to retain its shape over time.  I would love to see them use a slightly heavier gauge of the same fabric and see if it makes a difference.

Second, the trim around the leg-hole has an unusual detail near the hip.  Instead of a making a continuous loop about the leg-hole, the trim stops, makes a 90 degree turn north, and makes a B line for the waist band.  I think was more for looks than any functional reason, but I think that discontinuity in the reinforcement of the leg hole seems like somewhat of a weak link, letting the fabric do whatever it wants.  Perhaps it’s the traditionalist in me, but I would much prefer to see how the pair would perform if they made that detail continuous.

Last, I would note that the pouch design, as with several other pairs of late, follows the trend of pushing things up and out.  I’ve come to accept that this is a theme in designer underwear that will not go away anytime soon.  Personally, I could do without it, but I would not call it a deal-breaker given all the other nice aspects about this pair.

To sum things up:

Pros

  • Nice use of contrasting colors.  Conservative, yet interesting
  • Incredibly soft material

Cons

  • The softness seems to let things creep pretty easily, even with light activity

Ratings

  • Daily Fit         8
  • Sizing         9
  • Construction/Materials         7
  • Styling         9
  • Daily Performance         8

Review- Joe Snyder Activewear G-String

No Comments

joe-snyder-active-gstring

Howdy folks. This is Phillip here, the new kid in town. Today, I bring you my review of the Joe Snyder Activewear G-String in blue, on of the many cuts available in the new Activewear line, to include the bikini, jock strap, and boxer. Having tried a few different items from Joe Snyder, I was a little apprehensive, as I never have been a huge fan of the brand. However, a pair of underwear never intimidates me, so in I jumped. Upon first glance, I noticed that the fabric was different than the other undies I’ve worn from JS. Made of 80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, which felt smooth to the touch. The blue color that I received was very attractive looking as well, leading me to believe that the numerous colors and the camo print would look just as great. All in all, I was impressed on first look.

I chose to wear my review pair first thing, without washing. Spent most of the day sitting through classes, so pretty much casual type of environment. I then wore them to work later that evening, which doesn’t require a lot of movement. Once washed, I then took them for a spin at the gym. Overall, I didn’t have any issues while working out, or just sitting and walking, making the Activewear G-String a suitable piece for multiple uses.

I’m a bit of a large guy, in fact, that’s the size I usually wear in most brands. Joe Snyder runs a bit small in their sizing, it seems, cause it felt a little too snug for my personal preference in the waist. The tag reads that a large is 36-39 inches, which fits with the American sizing of a large being 36-38, for the most part, but it was just a little snug on me. I would honestly recommend wearing the next size up from what you normally wear in order to find an accurate fit.

Joe Snyder’s biggest plus, in my opinion, is their availability of colors for their underwear. I love the fact that, instead of the common black, white, red, and blue that you get with most brands, you also have options such as yellow, green, pink, purple, and even mesh, for the Activewear line of products. Everybody needs a bit of color to liven up his top drawer. I will also note that even though I expected it based on past expierence with Joe Snyder thongs, there wasn’t any “grinding”, as I call it, or rubbing of the area right above the crack. I’m also a fan of the waistband type of Gstrings and thongs, so bonus points for me. The biggest issue was that there was “gaping”, or where the fabric in the crotch doesn’t stay on the skin on the sides, instead leaving a little space between the skin and the edge of the underwear.

All in all, the Joe Snyder Activewear G-String was a decent pair of undies. Based on past expierences with this brand, I wasn’t expecting too much, and will say I was surprised to find that I liked them a little more than previous efforts from the company. Is this my all time favorite pair of underwear? Not by a long shot, but I will give credit where credit is due. Enjoyable and comfortable, with an appealing aesthetic that is sure to catch the eye.

PROS

  • Awesome color selection, to include camo and mesh options
  • Smooth Fabric
  • Stylish Waistband

Cons

  • Sizing not exactly correct
  • Gapping issues

Ratings

  • Daily Fit- 70
  • Sizing- 40
  • Construction/Material-90
  • Styling- 90
  • Daily Performance-80
  • Overall- 74

Thanks for hearing me out. I’m very into not just undies, but to try and spread the word on whats good and whats not, and I only hope I can help somebody out there avoid a trap I’ve fallen into on more than one occasion. The most important piece of clothing is the underwear the put on first thing, and if I can help make that choice the best for somebody, I’ll consider myself a success. Until next time, this is Speedosoldier85, signing out.

Review – Cocksox Sonar Swim Thong

No Comments

cocksox-sonar-swim-thong-review

As you might have read in an earlier post (Operation Thong), I had the opportunity to wear the Cocksox Sonar Swim Thong as my first thong on the beach. This swim thong is made of high quality Italian lycra in a cool blue, white and black mirco camo print. They also feature a protruding shaped pouch and a triangle style back. I was very impressed initially, but worried about this maximum exposure. This is part of the Sonar Collection which also comes in a more modest brief and trunk style.

As you know I wore these a few times to the beach, both just for laying out and also playing in the water. I was concerned that the minimal pouch was going to not be adequate coverage, however the pouch was amazing! Its shape really pushed out a nice profile to hold you in. Even when getting out of the waves. The front is quite low (manscaping is a must), so be careful. The back had a great amount of fabric to stay right in place. I would recommend this swim thong for special events or somewhere that you want to be the center of attention.

The sizing for Cocksox is based of real waist measurements, not your jeans size, so please keep that in mind with ordering. Also, some Cocksox has some models available with different sized pouches; this style has a snug pouch, which might not fit everyone.

This swim thong has a lot of features I like; the shaped center seam pouch keeps everything in place and leaves little to the imagination. The stitching throughout is done quite well, no itching or adjusting. The waist seam features a tiny sewn in elastic waistband to help keep your suit up.

I am happy to say that I have worn this swim thong numerous times since the original post and will continue to next summer. It is a welcome addition for anyone who is looking to get some sun on those buns. I plan on getting a few more even!

Pros:

  • Great Pouch shape,
  • perfect sizing

Cons:

  • very low front

Review – Joe Snyder Athletic Mini Shorty

No Comments

_MG_2498

The pair of underwear I am reviewing is the Joe Snyder Mini Shorty in shiny black with white trim.  The shiny black fabric is a nice color with the silver waistband and white side areas and trim.  The mini shorty has a contrasting silver waistband with Joe Snyder sewn into the waistband in bold lettering, but not centered above the pouch on this pair.  The waistband has a metallic sheen to it and the pouch is slight.

After trying them on, the waistband is comfortable at two inches in width.  The slight pouch was conforming and defining with a two piece formation.  While this is a trunk, it is called a mini shorty due to the visual appearance being that of a pair of retro gym shorts.  There is no fly in this mini shorty which is the new norm and who really used a fly anyway.  Do not get mad if you did.  Just saying.  The mini shorty was pieced together in multiple pieces to create the pouch and rear to provide a better fit and make it more conforming.  The seat is two panels and it seems to be contoured to fit close to the skin.  Trust me.  You know the rear seam is there as it is made to really highlight the rear.  The pouch functions normally and is a good size for the average guys.  You guys that constantly talk about needing more room will need more room in these.  These fit well and create a nice line.  This is my second or third pair of Joe Snyder underwear and I enjoyed them.  These would be a really nice pair of underwear to wear under jeans as they sit low on the hips and are tight.

While wearing this pair of boxer briefs, I went about my normal Monday morning of late breakfast, teaching class, and relaxing at home afterwards.  It was a typical day for most guys, I suppose.  The pair fit well, looked nice, did not bunch up, but felt a bid odd as that rear seam really wanted to define my rear a bit more than my rear wanted to be defined.  This pair of underwear would be good for wearing under shorts or loose fitting pants as I wore them under tighter clothing and I barely felt them.  I would consider wearing it as workout wear as they were tight and supportive.

I received a size large in this mini shorty.  This size should cover a 32-24 pant size.  Sizing was a bit off as I am a size large in the vast majority of underwear and these are a bit tight.  This pair can be found for around 30-35$ on most websites and in stores in black, white, red, and turquoise.

I enjoyed the color combination, the metallic silver waistband, the white side panels, the white trim, and the way the pouch fit.  80% Polyamide and 20% Spandex fabric combination makes this a stretchy and conforming pair of underwear that I enjoyed.  This mini shorty had nothing major about it that I could complain about.  I did find the rear seam to be slightly annoying.  The cut of this pair of underwear may be better suited for guys that are more lean with perfectly straight sides versus an average guy, like me, to wear.

Overall, this was a good pair of underwear and I felt comfortable while wearing them.  The design is conforming to the body and creates a nice profile from the front and the rear.  I enjoyed this mini shorty and look forward to wearing them again.

Pros

  • Style
  • Fabric
  • Pattern/Color

Cons

  • Fit (rear seam was a bit tight)
  • Price

Review – Joe Snyder Neon Pride Frame Bikini

No Comments

IMG_0072

File under B… for bedroom.

Joe Snyder is not something I would typically use as everyday underwear.  It might just be mental barrier I haven’t broken yet, but I associate underwear like this exclusively with doing the grown-up behind closed doors.  The only pairs of JS that I’ve ever owned were for that express purpose.

These reviews we generate are based on a uniform set of evaluation criteria, which incorporates a full day’s test drive.  Well, I tried it. For reasons I’ll go into later, I don’t know that my results will really offer you an apples-to-apples comparison to other pairs of underwear.  But honestly 90% of this is subjective anyway.  So here goes.

First the facts: Made in Mexico.  80% polyamide/20% spandex.  Excellent construction quality.  The cut is definitely on the skimpier side, probably the skimpiest thing I’ve ever worn.  If you’re like me this is probably right on that edge between ‘skimpy-flattering and ‘skimpy-non-flattering.’ Maybe this is a hint that Mexico thinks we should exercise more.  Or maybe they want us to stop sending them McDonalds.

In the right context the pride frame bikini is f***ing hot.  I read nothing into the word ‘pride’ and simply took it at face value.  Pride as in be proud of your junk.  Because if you wear these your junk is going to be the only thing people see.  Through some clever pouch design and accent stitching JS has found a way to make that part of your body seem twice normal size.  The exterior contrast stitching does this ‘swoopie’ thing where it comes down from both sides and wraps around underneath, creating a ‘genital shelf’ if you will.  But unlike the Cocksox pair that I wrote about earlier in the month, the pouch does not force you into the ‘tent-pole’ configuration.  For me, that is a huge bonus, since I’m not a fan of the tent-pole.

The normal review criteria we look at include things like “daily fit” and “daily performance.”  I might have a hard time rating these because I didn’t wear these over the course of a full day.  I wore them for the same amount of accrued time, but broken up into smaller pieces.  Mainly because… well, I didn’t want to have an enormous bulge at work that day.

What I can say is that, due to the materials and cut, there is positively no creepage of any kind on this pair.  I would compare it to wearing a speedo under your clothes.  One that is as supportive, softer, and waaaaay skimpier.  If it was still 1987, Cher could use this pair as part of her tour wardrobe.

If I could turn back toooooommeeee…. (yes, I said tome)

Joking aside, if you choose to wear this as daily underwear I don’t think you’ll have any complaints about comfort or creepage.  But be mindful that the only thing separating the world from the male-stripper version of yourself is a single layer of pant material.  If you have the mental agility to balance these two sides of your persona and keep it under control in public then more power to you.  Guys like me have no choice but to relegate this to the bedroom only.

To sum things up:

Pros

  • You will turn into a sex machine in the bedroom

Cons

  • You will turn into a sex machine anywhere you happen to be

Ratings

  • Daily Fit         7*
  • Sizing         8
  • Construction/Materials         9
  • Styling         9*
  • Daily Performance         7*
  • Overall         8

*please take this with a grain of salt.  I can’t wear these for a full day, so your score will probably differ greatly from mine.

Review – Inter View Underwear 2013 IV League White Blue Boxer Brief

No Comments

interview-underwear-IV-league-blue-white-boxer

I had the fun pleasure of reviewing a new brand for me, Inter View. I received their IV League design white/blue boxer brief in the mail, and was curious. Just out of the mail, I felt the fabric, knew it was cotton, but it had a nice feel to it. I knew nothing about Inter View Underwear before I received this pair so I had no real preconceived notions about what this pair would be. I did some interneting and found interviewshopping.com. On the site, I found out more about their company and this pair. Inter View is a newer brand based out of Los Angeles, stating their designs are for the everyday needs of stylish men. The IV League White/Blue Boxer Brief is part of their “IV League” line which features design elements reminiscent of old school gym shorts. The IV League Boxer Brief can come in White/Blue, Blue/White, Red, and White, but the combinations of blue and white are the only ones with the additional lettering and logos. The pair I got is the White/Blue pair, which is a mostly white boxer brief, with light blue piping around the pouch, and binding around the leg holes. The waistband is a 1 1/2” white band with a blue strip on the bottom and a thick red stripe in the middle with Inter View repeating around the band. The pair features an ample front seamed pouch, and a full back. The Blue/White combination pairs also have a #13 printed on the right hip, and a IV wreath logo on the left hip.

I wore this to a day at my job as a circus coach at a summer camp. It is a pretty active day for me. I’m running around, doing warm-ups, stretching, spotting children doing circus, demonstrating tricks… I was surprised they held up quite nicely. I’m usually a little worried about boxer briefs because unless the pouch is REALLY defined, I find some of my parts drift downwards below the pouch as it sags during the day, and I keep pulling the back up to tighten the under-crotch area again. This pair kept my parts in the pouch the whole time. I wouldn’t go running in them per se, but it was fine to do a basic warm up with some stretching.

I got a size large, and it fit me perfectly. According to Inter View’s size chart, I am in the middle-upper range of their large size, so I’d say that is a spot on size chart. The sizing only accommodates waist sizes between 28 and 34”…not the widest range, hopefully they will open that up in the future.

What I like about this pair is that it feels comfy for the most part, and has a very handsome look to it. The old school gym class shorts design elements really gives it some whimsy However, I did have some issues with some choices made. Specifically the tag, which is a sewn in tag and gets a little irritating until I forget about it after a while. I also think that while the 95% cotton 5% spandex blend is a very nice fabric used here, I have felt nicer 95%/5% cotton/spandex blends, and which is had a little softer quality to it while still maintaining it’s structure.

Out of the boxer briefs in my life, this is one of my new favorites because it doesn’t let my stuff fall down below the pouch. I like the styling and I don’t have a lot of “sporty” designed underwear. I am interested to see where Inter View goes with their brand. They are focusing on the “basics” right now, which is fine, but I think they’ll need some bolder design ideas in order to pass into the big leagues.

PROs:

  • Comfortable fabric.
  • Classy design details.
  • Snug but well designed pouch.

CONS:

  • Standard color choices.
  • Sewn in tag.

RATINGS:

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction/Materials – 5
  • Styling – 7
  • Daily Performance -7

Review – Dylan Ribkoff Trunks Ibiza

No Comments

Bylan-Ribkoff-Ibeza-trunks

As I opened the package I was overcome with the excitement of what was inside. The Dylan Ribkoff Yeah You trunk was soft to the touch and had a stretchy wide elastic waist band that proclaimed its designer.

I day of running around on the weekend was ahead of me. I put them on under shorts and a T-shirt and went on my day. They were snug and moved with me all day. They were so comfortable! The hugged me in the right places. The only down side was the tag in the back was the most annoying tag that I have ever worn. I ended up cutting it out ½ way through the day. The rode lower on the waist and were comfortable in gym and on a run. They have a solid construction and are stitched well and the knit stretched in every direction.

The  Large fits a 36-38. They were low on the waist and comfortable. They supported you like a trunk/athletic trunk should. It was nice that they were made in Montreal and not China.  These were one of the most comfortable trunks I have worn.

Pros:

  • Comfortable
  • Solid construction
  • Great for the gym
  • Made in Canada Eh!?

Cons

  • ANNOYING TAG!!

Review – Papi Pride Jock

No Comments

688904-605-fI wear jocks regularly.  I am definitely not one of those guys that wears them just for athletic activities.  So I was eager to try out this one from Papi. I love the briefs I have by them, and knew the jock would be a great addition to my ever growing underwear collection.  Created in Miami for the guy that likes a little flair, Papi always produces some great styles and patterns.  The Pride collection has a rainbow colored waistband that shows your pride.

I wore this jock on a pretty average work day for me.  A quick stop at Starbucks to get my morning fix and then off to the office for 8 hours of fun.  Sitting at my desk with the occasional lap around the office to stretch my legs.  Exciting, right?  Throughout my day, I loved the way this jock felt in the front.  Papi underwear does a great job of supporting without flattening things out, and this jock held true to form in this aspect.  I did feel that the support straps in the back felt a little looser than I am used to.   Had to give them a tug a couple of times for adjustment.

The Pride Jock is available in black and red.  In a size medium, the colorful waistband was a good fit on my 31” waist.  Their size chart says a medium is for 32 to 34 inch waists, which may explain why the straps felt a little loose for me.  I feel like for those of us with the awkward waist size of 31” (really, who carries a 31 in anything these days?) a small might be a better overall fit.

Pros:

  • great support
  • bright colored waistband
  • polyester/spandex blend feels great

Cons:

  • leg straps felt a little loose

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 8
  • Construction/Materials – 10
  • Styling – 10

Review – Cocksox Backstage Bikini

No Comments

cocksox-backstage-bikini-cx16md

I LOVE Cocksox and when I reviewed the Backstage Waistband brief I knew I was going to have to review this pair. Cocksox has really out done themselves with this line. They have taken their classic styles and made them with a new fabric. It’s been a gamble that may not have paid off. But like most gambles when it does it’s amazing.

The Backstage Bikini is made out of the same material as the Waistband Brief a 95% Modal 5% Spandex blend. Which is super light and very breathable. It feels like you’re wearing nothing. One thing about modal, and I said it in the other review; I was worried that it wouldn’t hold the shape of the famous Cocksox pouch.  Not only did modal keep the shape it felt amazing. Since I had already tried the waistband brief , I wasn’t too worried about this one. The cut was a little higher then I normally wear, I’m not a big string bikini wearer. I wasn’t sure how it would look on me. To my surprise it didn’t look too bad. I have tried other string bikinis before and when I looked in the mirror I was like this is just for my eyes only! Luckily this one didn’t do that to me.

Much to your surprise I didn’t wear this pair to work. I know you guys are super shocked. Instead I wore it on a weekend. Specifically a Saturday when I knew I would be running around.  The pouch just feels amazing. I love the way it conforms to my body. I don’t know how they came up with the pouch but it’s one of the best ever. Being active throughout the day it held up great. The modal material breathed and in the hot Atlanta weather you definitely need something that doesn’t drive you crazy.

Sizing as with most Cocksox is pretty much spot on. They follow their sizing guide pretty well. So if you get the size listed you should be fine. They also follow standard sizing. In the last few years I haven’t had any issues with them at all.

Several things I really liked. The first one is the Modal fabric. This was an amazing choice for Cocksox to use. When I felt the samples at Magic in February, I knew it would be great. Next is the pouch. As I stated the pouch only made the pouch better. It’s perfect for working out or having an active day. Next is the waistband. I love that they created a branded waistband that was different. Their previous ones have been Cocksox in the center, but this has a silver band with new font for the Cocksox name. This matches the metallic luster of the fabric.  The only thing I didn’t like was I hope they make more colors in these!

Pros:

  • Amazing Modal Material
  • Great Cocksox Pouch
  • New Waistband

Cons:

  • Need more colors

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 10
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction/Materials – 10
  • Styling – 9

Review – C-IN2 Hand Me Down Profile Brief

No Comments

C-in2-hand-me-down-profile-brief

I love working with Mens Underwear Store. They are a retailer, in the last year,  that we have been working with on many projects. They approached us about doing a review and the pair they furnished was the C-IN2 Hand Me Down Brief. I got the pair and the first thing I noticed was a new package. C-IN2 has created a new package for online retailers. It’s smaller and easier to mail. Which is a good thing on shipping costs.  This may not seem like a sexy thing but its great to know companies are taking shipping and recycling into account for the public.

The pair itself had a burn our type of material, meaning it was sort of see through. But not so see through to make it wild.  The color was the second thing I noticed. I’m not really a fan of brown underwear. It’s just a personal thing with me. I prefer much brighter color underwear. This how ever won’t interfere with my review. The pair itself felt really good. I wore it to work for the day. I was super excited to try these. The fit was better then I expected. I have had plenty of C-IN2 but this one had a fit that lives up to the name Hand Me Down. The distressed cotton felt like it had been a pair of mine for a while. It just felt amazing. This was the first time I had any from this line and won’t be the last time I get some!

During the day the pouch felt great and didn’t constrict or bind.  The brief held it’s shape and felt as good at the end of the day as the beginning. I definitely think this will be good for office days and also active days.

Sizing fit me pretty well in this pair. I think, and I’m still trying to confirm it, that the sizing for C-IN2 has changed over the years. If I remember correctly it was typical sizing for the US, but this pair I received was an XL and fit my 36/38 waist perfect. I have reviewed some other pairs that were Large and they didn’t fit as well.  Large is listed as 34-36 and extra large is 37-39. So make sure you pay attention to the sizing chart when buying your pair.

Things I loved about this pair are quite a few things. The first is the fabric. C-IN2 has done a great job picking this fabric (60% cotton/40% Polyester). The first time I put it on it reminded me of some of my favorites that have that broken in feel. Its one of the few times I have put on new underwear and this has happened. Next is the pouch. Too many times I get a pair of underwear only to have the pouch not fit right, be too small or bind me. This one did none of those things.  The last thing I liked that I didn’t think I would be was the waistband. It was a little thick and rough at first. But after I put it on it felt great and didn’t bind or roll.  Whereas, the only negative of the review was the color of the brief. Which is really minor but it won’t stop me from wearing it.

Pros:

  • Incredible Fabric choice from C-IN2
  • Great contour pouch
  • Comfortable waistband

Cons:

  • Color and that’s just a personal preference

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 10
  • Sizing – 8
  • Construction – 10
  • Styling – 8
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 9.2

Review – Inter View IV League Brief in Red

1 Comment

interview IV league

The pair of underwear I am reviewing is the Inter View IV League Brief in Red (also available in white).  Before trying these on, I enjoyed the feel of the cotton and spandex fabric as I took in the overall style and construction of the brief.  The fabric was extremely soft and stretchy with two strips of red piping running along the left and right side of the pouch and a small seam holding the pieced pouch together.  The waistband is approximately 2 inches in width with the brand name in bold white lettering woven into a red stripe going around the waist.  The red stripe has white, black, and blue stripes above and below the red one.  This is my first pair of Inter View underwear and I loved being able to try them.

As I put these briefs on for the first time, I felt something odd in the pouch area.  So, being the curious sort, I looked.  Wow!  There is a built in pouch inside the pouch.  Hmmmm…how do I work this?  After a few seconds I had it figured out.  Now, with everything inside this pouch that their website describes as a pouch enhancer I was set to go.  I have to say that the pouch enhancer was a nice surprise and did work as intended as everything was up front and at attention in a nice manner.  The inner pouch is more of a loose pocket than a pouch.  It was comfortable and nice.  I have other enhancing underwear that I do not wear because it rubs my skin and causes chafing.

While wearing this pair of underwear, I went about a normal day of traveling to work nearly an hour from home and being there several hours.  Overall, I spent about ten hours in this pair.  It was a busy day filled with lots of movement and activity.  The pair fit well around the waist without being all tight and nonstretchy.  It was very comfortable all throughout the day.  The leg openings were quite comfortable and stretchy enough to conform and were just right.  The pouch consisting of two pieces of fabric sewn together with a center seam is soft, comfortable, and conforming.  The inner pouch was comfortable all day with zero problem feeling weird or odd while wearing it.  You could wear it without using the inner pouch, as well.  The fabric is 95%Cotton and 5%Spandex and extremely soft and conforming.  I was surprised it was so soft, actually.  I liked that this pair covered the front and rear fully.  This seems to be a reinventing of the basic brief in a new and modern form that I have not seen since the late 90s brought on more and more briefs with no fly.  The crotch area is rather slim, which I love, where the pouch and rear meet and fits tight to the body.  I believe this pair would hold up well during normal and active use.
I received a size medium in this brief.  This size should cover around 34 pant size.  Sizing was probably not true to size as I am a true large in underwear.  This is the first time I have ever said to size down in underwear.  LOL!  Seriously, check their sizing chart carefully.
I loved the soft fabric as it was stretchy and conforming to the body.  The pouch and inner was perfect and should accommodate any guy without any major issues.  The leg openings were comfortable and larger than normal, it seems.  The way the crotch area felt between my legs was nice and fit well making sure everything was in place and not bunching up like your typical brief.  The waistband was nice and created a visual interest with the red, white, black, and blue stripes.

 

Overall, this was an excellent pair of underwear and I felt sexy comfortable while wearing them.  Inter View has hit on a great product and everyone should try them.  Check out their website as they have a sale going on.

Review – Cocksox Backstage Waistband Brief CX03MD

No Comments

cocksox-backstage-waistband-brief

I was super excited to try the new Backstage line from Cocksox. The previous pairs from them I have reviewed have always been amazing. If I had a list of the top 10 underwear companies, Cocksox would definitely be in the top 5. The way they make their underwear to fit is just amazing. The new Backstage line takes the classic design of Cocksox but makes it with a modal material. So putting these two together made me really happy.

I got the Waistband brief to review. This is one of my favorite cuts from them. When I opened the package I saw that the pair I was reviewing was the yellow pair. I will admit I love bright colored underwear. Right when I slid these on I knew it was going to be a great pair. Much like the review yesterday Gabe posted, I wondered if they could have the support of Cocksox with the super soft modal material. They did, I don’t know how they did it but this pair felt really amazing. Each time they come out with a new line they out do themselves!

I wore this pair to work for the day. It felt so good to wear. The waistband brief has been one of my favorite cuts from Cocksox. The new branded black waistband offsets the colors and makes a great addition. The pair really held its shape all day. The pouch which I had worried about still lived up to the Cocksox tradition. That is if you don’t want your goods on display don’t wear these. It pushes everything up and out. Which I know many readers like but I wouldn’t recommend this for a job interview or family reunion. As I worked I noticed these really breathed and felt so good. I didn’t want to take them off, but I did at the end of the day

There was something I did with this pair that I don’t do with too many pairs. I wore them twice before I wrote the review. I washed them and thought why not wear them one more time. The second time was as good as the first. I have to hand it to Cocksox for always improving a great product. They don’t come out with new lines every few months. They focus on the core and release things over time. Each time the score a home run.

The sizing in these are pretty much spot on with the sizing chart. In the past I would say buy a size down, yeah you heard me a size down not up! However, in the last few years they have rectified that and now you can pretty much get the size listed.

Pros:

  • Made out of amazing material
  • Great fit with a new waistband
  • AMAZING Cocksox pouch
  • Material breathes through out the day

Cons:

  • More colors needed only in Black, Grey and Yellow
  • It May show off more then you want – which may not be a problem for many of you

  • Daily Fit – 10
  • Sizing – 9.5

Review – Cocksox Backstage Boxer Brief

No Comments

cocksox-backstage-boxer-brief-review

This is the first time I’ve worn anything from the Cocksox brand.  I had heard of their stuff and seen photos but really had no idea what I was in for.  So here goes…

First, the facts:  Cocksox is an Australian company and this particular pair was made in Thailand.  The material is a blend of 95% modal / 5% spandex.  It is extremely soft and light with a decent amount of stretch.  Sizing is consistent with U.S. size charts.

There are many things about this pair that I liked.  First, the material is awesome.  I tend to prefer softer and lighter materials and this pair was by far the softest/lightest pair I’ve ever worn.  Sometimes you run the risk of sacrificing support when you go with softer materials.  But that was not at all the case here.  There is black magic afoot.

Second, I have to give a round of applause to this company for doing away with the sewn-on tag and opting to screen print the size/washing instructions inside just below the waistband.  I never realized just how much you really feel a sewn-on tag until I wore this pair.

Aesthetically, the pair is very simple which I really appreciate.  My tastes are not flashy so the solid gray color with the black waistband was right up my alley.  If you’re a relative newbie to the world of high-end underwear and you’re feeling insecure about being too fancy in the locker room this would be a great pair (never mind that you have the word COCKSOX emblazoned on your waistband).  I attempted to find this pair on the Cocksox website to see what other colors are available, but found nothing.  I guess this is a relatively new line, so it might be another few weeks before more information surfaces.

The day I wore these I was sitting in my office the entire day which wasn’t as rigorous a test as it usually is.  So temper my remarks with that in mind.  But the fit was great and it retained its shape all day.  Minimal leg creepage.  Again, the material made these extremely comfortable to wear for 12+ hrs.

There is one aesthetic component that I must address and that is the shape of the pouch.  If you’re like me you have a definite preference for how you let things hang or how you want your bulge to look.  You might wear things to the left, to the right, pointing up, etc.   Since this was my first pair of Cocksox I did not know that their distinctive pouch basically forces your junk into one permissible configuration: the tent‑pole.

Don’t get me wrong, this is not uncomfortable.  It is strictly an aesthetic issue to consider before buying.  If you really prefer a certain look then just be advised that this pair will limit your boys’ options.  It is definitely something that you should evaluate if you’re doing things like, say… going to the grocery store, taking your kid to soccer practice, having a PTA meeting.

I really can’t find anything negative to say about this pair, other than my remarks about the pouch.  It’s apparent to me that this pouch design is deliberate, and I don’t think I should hold this against them.  It seems that look is their… ahem… ‘centerpiece.’  I would just say to be aware of what you are buying.  If you are after that particular look or willing to experiment then good on you.  If the tent-pole is not your cup of tea then you might want to pass.

To sum things up:

Pros

  • Among the softest most comfortable pair I’ve ever worn
  • Adequate support in spite of softer materials
  • Simple, non-flashy style

Cons

  • The ‘schhhwwwiiiiinnng’ jokes will never stop

Review – Lollipop Blue Boxer Brief by Inter View

No Comments

interview-lolipop-boxer-review

I am reviewing the Lollipop Blue Boxer Brief by Inter View. When I first saw these, I was instantly attracted to them.  The bright royal blue color and the bright white accents were very eye catching. The waistband was also very cool. This is the first time I had ever tried any undies from Inter View and I LOVED them. This style is available in Black, Brown, Purple, and yellow. I am glad I got the blue, they are my favorite!

As soon as I took them out of the package I could tell that these would be great for everyday wear.  The fabric was light weight and you could tell the pouch was going to be roomy. I wore these to work the day after I had gotten them. I sit at a desk most of the day, but these preformed amazingly. I often have problems with undies bunching in the crotch area and ridding up. These stayed in place and I didn’t get the cramped feeling that some undies can give. These held up great for everyday wear. I haven’t worn these to the gym yet, but would like to see how they perform. The material is so light weight that I think the breathability would be outstanding, however I am not sure if they would hold during rigorous run or cross fit type workout.

I got these undies in a size medium, and they fit great. They are a little smaller than a normal medium as the size chart on their website states a medium fits a 30-32 inch waist. This worked great for me as I am a 31 inch waist and often find some mediums to be to big but smalls can run a little too tight. I would recommend checking out the size chart before you order. If you are on the edge between going up or down a size, I would recommend going down. I personally like my undies to fit a little tighter, but these do stretch and provide ample room.

These undies offer a 1 ¼ inch logo waistband in light blue and white. The material is an amazing combination of 55% Cotton, 37% Modal Rayon, and 8% spandex. They are machine washable and are designed right here in the USA!

It is hard for me to find anything that I don’t really like about this pair of undies. They provide great support, they look great, the material is fantastic and they make my butt look amazing!! If I had to find one thing that I would change… the white accents are amazing and look great out of the package, however, I noticed after washing them for the first time that some of the blue from the fabric bleed onto the white. It didn’t ruin the undies at all, but was kind of bummed that they didn’t seem to have that bright white look any more.  This could have just been me and my poor attempt at laundering them too, so I can’t discount it too much. I have also had an issue with the fabric pilling on some of the other undies that use Modal Rayon. We will have to see how that goes after a couple washes.

Overall, these are amazing and would recommend them to any of our readers. These are great for a HUGE undies fan like myself, but also for someone just getting into undies. Inter View is a newer brand and with these amazing undies, I can see them going places. I encourage everyone to check out the rest of what Inter View has to offer on their website: www.interviewshopping.com. This style is priced at $18.99 + shipping on their website, and this is a great deal for these awesome undies!

Review – Unico Boxer SER 13100845-00

No Comments

13100845-001-400x400

I get the chance to review another Unico Boxer!  It may sound like it’s not the typical for me but Unico makes one of the few boxers I liked. The previous ones were great, so this one I had high hopes as well. This one unlike the rest is made out of a 93% Cotton, 7% Spandex blend.  I loved the design of these too, colorful and fun. Unico is not one company afraid to use colors or patterns. So I put I through it’s paces.

I wore this pair to work on an average day. The day wasn’t too active. It was mainly office work and hanging out with friends after.  Being a day that wasn’t too active I didn’t think it would be much of a challenge for the pair. The one thing that I noticed was the legs opening stretched out a bit. For Unico that was strange, granted it wasn’t very bad but still annoyed me it happened. All the other pairs I have reviewed have really held up great. So for this one to have a few issues was odd to me.  It wasn’t bad but it was just noticeable to be annoying. The materials seemed to be the same as previous pairs, so I’m not sure why this pair did this didn’t hold up.

The sizing for Unico is based on Colombian sizing. Meaning it definitely runs small. I would suggest that you get a size up in whatever size you get. For example if you’re a medium I would suggest getting a Large. The pair I reviewed was an XL, which did fit my 36 waist very well. If you get much larger you may have issues. However, when I was a 40 waist I could still wear my XL. Not sure if that was I loved them so much or if they fit!

As I said I really liked the pattern. They are known for their amazing prints and patterns. Unico really isn’t afraid to step outside the box and use prints you don’t normally see in men’s underwear. The pouch is the second thing I love. Unico makes some of the best pouch underwear on the market. It’s one of the things they are known for, and if you look back on the blog then you will see we have consistently named it as one of the best for pouch design. As for what I didn’t like was the fabric. It lost its shape and made the legs looses their shape. This is the first time I have ever had a pair of Unico do this, so not sure if its just the pair or in general for the cotton/spandex blend.

Pros:

  • Great fun pattern
  • Amazing Unico pouch
  • Matching waistband

Cons:

  • Fabric didn’t fit well
  • Lost shape around lets

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 6
  • Sizing – 7
  • Construction/Materials – 5
  • Styling – 8
  • Daily Performance  – 6
  • Overall: 6.2

Review – Baskit Sport Jock

No Comments

baskit-america-sport
I’m super excited to review the Baskit America Sport Jock. When i first saw this line in samples at Magic, I knew i had to have a pair. The design and colors just popped to me. I have just reviewed the Simple brief and was impressed with the great fit and classic styling of the pair, so I knew had very high hopes for this pair. Baskit is really getting known for high quality underwear.

Over the last few years Baskit has gone through a transformation. They aren’t doing crazy prints and wild styles. Their models has gone from trendy to more of a from a classic high quality brand. Which in by no means they are boring. Just look at the America line, you can have form and fashion in one and Baskit is doing just that.

The first thing I noticed is that the jockbrief has been made a little different then other jockbriefs I have worn. When i first put it on it fit kind of odd. I’m not saying it fit strange because of quality, but design. The straps were a little lower then I was used too. Also the sides came around farther back. So,  wasn’t sure how well this would fare through out the day. But, after I got it on and adjusted the straps, it fit really well. It’s just getting used to a new design.

I wore the pair to work and errands. I wanted to do something a little different then previous reviews. This is a jockbrief so I wanted to see how it fared. The jockbrief held up great at work. It wasn’t too active. The straps didn’t move and kept in place. Then I had a lot of walking for my errands. After the great performance of the day I wanted to be sure it held up to the active. The pair didn’t miss a beat. It was  the perfect pair to wear on both lazy or active day.

The sizing is pretty standard. One thing that you can count on with Baskit is, if you read their size chart they are pretty spot on and match the sizing. Note that they don’t go above a 36-38 waist. The rest of the sizing is spot on just read the size chart, but this is something you should do for every brand you buy.

Pros:

  • Fun color combinations
  • Great for a active or lazy day
  • Made out of quality materials

Cons:

  • Had a strange fit to being

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing – 9
