The pair I get to review is the Me Undies Euro Brief. I know I hear a lot of you asking, who? But Me Undies is a company that came to our attention and they do undies that have classic cuts, which feature a Boxer Brief, Brief and Trunk. They have taken the classic undies and made them a little more stylish with color.

The first thing you notice is that all the pairs are a solid color. There aren’t any patterns or prints. The cuts are pretty classic in design. The brief was a little bigger then I like. I would have preferred a little smaller cut.

I wore these to work to see how they would do. Granted I don’t have a too strenuous job. It’s more office work and not too activity taxing. The briefs fit well and follow the sizing chart. The color I got was green. I did this because it’s my favorite color, and I don’t find too many green pairs.

If you are looking for classic but colorful underwear, these would be perfect for you. If you want something a little wilder then these definitely aren’t for you. They are affordable, comfortable and a nice pair of underwear. My only other complaint is I wish they had a better pouch. They weren’t bad but I like a little more support in front

Pros

  •  Great Color selection
  • Classic Styling
  • Affordable

Cons

  • Prefer a smaller cut
  • Wish they had a bigger pouch

I wanted something fun for this round of reviews. When I got the chance to choose a lot of the new N2N I decided I wanted to try the Net line. The other guys on the site have loved this line and I wanted to see what it was all about!  The pair I chose was the Net Jock. It’s sexy and fun and made out of a 100% polyester mesh. The sizing as with most of N2N Bodywear is pretty much spot on! They just know how to make undies for men.

I wore these to work. I knew I was taking a risk wearing mesh for a full 8+ hour day. However, having been familiar with N2N for a few years now I knew I could trust them. My main concern with wearing mesh is that sometimes its can annoy you the longer you wear it. This pair didn’t do that at all. I actually forgot I was wearing mesh.  They really moved and gave me really great support through out daily activities.

The one thing I really love about N2N is they make underwear for men. Andrew and everyone there really pay attention to the fit and function of underwear. It’s not something you have to put on, but something you should want to wear!

I definitely am going to wear my jock again. It’s going in my top underwear drawer. I have worn it since, but this time out for the night and no, no one saw it other then me. It would make a great date night pair!

Available in Nude, White, Black and Green.

Pros

  •  Mesh fits great and moves with you
  • Great to wear to work

Cons

  • Not sure you want to wear this to the gym!

As an avid lover of hot underwear, I was excited to receive another pair to review form one of my favorite brands, N2N Bodywear.  Their mission is “To provide the most comfortable, quality apparel to make any man feel masculine, sexy, and confident.”  The Net Bikini is a perfect example of underwear that does exactly that.  I received this 100% nylon bikini in white (which is great since I already own them in black) in a size medium.

My day started earlier than normal with a business meeting for a potential new client.  No one would have guessed that underneath my business suit I was wearing such a skimpy and hot pair of underwear.  The bikini cut creates a pouch that kept me supported and in place throughout the morning, and the mesh kept everything nice and cool, even in the sweltering heat we’ve been having.  I wore them all day and didn’t have any problems with them riding up in either the front or back.

While comfort is definitely a factor in choosing what underwear I wear, I have to admit that visual appeal plays a major role as well.  Whether anyone else will have the opportunity to see them or not.  N2N is known for creating underwear that exceptionally defines and displays your god-given parts.  This bikini does that on several levels.  Aside from being made from a very fine see-through mesh, they cling to the body like a second skin.  I’d say these are better for a private viewing with that special someone rather than in a public setting like a gym.  Unless you are into that sort of thing.

The N2N Net Bikini is available in four colors: white, black, olive, and nude.

Pros

  • • Looks great
  • • Feels like a 2nd skin

Cons

  • • Might draw an odd glance or two at the gym

Mundo Unico underwear has never been a personal favorite of mine.  However, I enjoy seeing their product on guys, but I have found them not to look the best on me.  Maybe I am just picky.  With this pair of underwear, things changed.

The Mundo Unico 7” Short Boxer Degaste style in slate blue with silver trim and silver and khaki stripes was nice to try. This was due to the difference in the fabric.  The fabric consists of 93% Nylon and 7% Spandex for a soft feel with perfect stretch and conforming abilities to provide adequate support and lines that guys love.  Size X-Large was a nice fit, but not true to size as I am a true large in undies (Size up, boys!).  The pair has a comfortable one and a half inch silver waistband and Mundo Unico patch on the rear waistband and Unico listed around the waistband in a light silver lettering to provide a nice contrast against the slightly darker silver waistband.  The body of the brief is slate blue with silver and khaki contrasting stripes on the panels and pouch.  I like that Unico has stripes that seem to enhance the body and pouch area.  Also, the paneled construction creates a nice fit that contours to the body and provides a nice look.

Upon first inspection, the boxer is more of a squarecut boxer rather than what one thinks of when you use the word boxer. The quality was good, the slate blue with silver and khaki stripes and silver waistband is a excellent combination (love this).  While the rear consists of separate panels to provide support and definition of the rear and the pouch size was adequate (stretchy and accommodating).  After putting this pair on, I found the pouch to be defining and I loved the silver and khaki stripes on each side of the pouch to enhance the pouch and draw attention to the goods.  I have not liked Unico in the past due to the pouch and crotch being too tight, but this pair was very nice in those areas.  I like this change with this new fabric.  The fabric was conforming and felt nice against my body as it moved fluidly with my movements.  The rear was excellent!  The way the rear is paneled together in pieces allows for definition and provided a nice look.

I wore this Unico Boxer from beginning of the day until around 8:30 that night.  I began the day with my normal Sunday morning routine, then driving to do a bit of shopping and trying on clothes, and driving back home.  The rest of the day was spent completing various tasks around the house.  I washed the boxer and wore them the next day, as well, all day, to and from work.  After all of this, the boxer remained comfortable and supportive.  I had no problems with riding up during the day.  I had a bit of a problem with bunching of fabric in the crotch area from the leg openings, but it was not anything I could not handle and nothing unsurprising as I feel like most boxers/boxer briefs/squarecuts do this to some extent.  It seemed like the fabric became more comfortable as the day wore on each day of wearning.   The pouch was supportive and comfortable.

Overall, this was a nice pair of underwear and served the purpose well.  I liked the look of the rear, the way the stripes enhance the pouch, the feel of the fabric, the overall look of the boxer, the conforming nature of the fabric, and the contrasting of the slate blue and silver color combination.  The price is fairly reasonable for this type of specialty underwear due to styling, coloring, and fit.  In general, I have no major complaints about this boxer other than some people are not going to pay the price for them.

Hey guys, before I get into the review I want to introduce myself, my name is Brandon and I am from the Midwest. I am in my late 20s, and my fascination with/obsession for men’s underwear began a couple of years ago. I am married to a beautiful woman who has evolving viewpoints on my growing underwear collection. I have been running my own personal Twitter (@firstthingon) and Tumblr (firstthingon.tumblr.com) pages for about four months with essentially a couple goals in mind. The first is to illustrate that straight men can (and should) be able to enjoy men’s designer underwear and all the styles that come with it without feeling self-conscious. The second and more over-arching goal is to expose all guys to different brands and styles with detailed reviews on the products I buy and wear. That’s why I am excited to have the opportunity to pursue those goals on a widely-read forum like Underwear News Briefs, I look forward to providing you detailed reviews of what I am wearing.

My first pair to review is the ‘Brief Dominante’ from Mundo Unico. To be honest I had modest expectations for these as I own just one thing from Mundo Unico, a Brazilian T-Back Thong I got on sale months ago which didn’t exactly impress. The same cannot be said about this brief. It’s made from 78% Lycra Nylon and 22% Spandex and has what the designer calls a “suspensor pouch” which is supposed to let your boys hang more naturally. The brief comes in one color, navy blue, and the XL fit just a bit larger than I would have liked but as a general rule, Unico runs small and a L would have been a bit too small for my 37 inch waist.

I wore this pair for about eight hours on a busy night. I wore them under a suit for a dinner I had to attend and they were doing such a great job in the heat that I kept them on to do an hour or so of yard work (mowing, edging) when I got back home. The soft Lycra material was very breathable which was nice on such a hot night. The brief is really well constructed for everyday use, the leg openings didn’t stretch or restrict and the waist band which has a bit of a sheen to it also held up well.

While I would label the color of the brief more “Slate” than Navy, the contrasting silver waistband provides enough style to keep this brief from being just another average, everyday pair. While I prefer a sportier, bikini-type cut this brief features a very traditional cut, and the all-day comfort and breathability of this particular pair allows me to make an exception. One area that deserves a bit of criticism is the pouch. The description claims the pouch is designed to let you be naturally “suspended” but I think this pair falls somewhat short of that mark. While the pouch certainly won’t constrict you in the way most traditional briefs might, I never truly felt in the hours I wore it, like my package was able to assume and maintain a “natural” position the way that some other labels’ designs might allow you to, and if I am being totally honest, you don’t actually get much support, either.

In the end the brief stands up well, especially on hotter days with its moisture-wicking Lycra material and while I won’t be clamoring for more designs like it from Unico, if you’re a more traditional brief type of man, I’d definitely recommend this one to you.

Pros:

  • Provides soft, all-day comfort
  • Breathable
  • Should possess a long lifespan

Cons:

  • Pouch design needs work
  • Could be more supportive

This is the 2nd pair from Pistol Pete that I’ve gotten to review.  And just like the first they did not disappoint!  The super sexy mesh brief is a nylon/lycra spandex blend.   The fabric holds it’s shape exceptionally well considering the fact there’s really not much there.  The black medium fit me perfectly when I put it on; it took me a few minutes to get used to how they felt and my day began.

This pair was very comfortable for the work day.  Lots of sitting at my desk with the occasional walk around through the building.  The waistband (which has the Pistol Pete logo front and back) felt great.  The reinforced leg openings maintained their grip without pinching, and the pouch front kept everything right where it was supposed to be.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a shy guy.  But even I would not normally wear something like this to the gym if I am going to have to change clothes there.  But that afternoon I decided to throw caution to the wind and hit the gym after work.  Thankfully the gym I go to isn’t ever insanely crowded.  The after-work gym bunnies were there, and as I began to change I had a moment of “What the hell are you thinking” before I dropped my pants to put on my gym shorts.   I don’t know if I was expecting to hear a laugh track or what, but other than a few inquisitive glances there was really no reaction from any of the other guys around me.  I did my workout, and while these briefs aren’t made to “wick” moisture away from the body they did a great job of keeping me air conditioned.

Available in white and black, I love the way these briefs look on the body.  The pouch front offers great support and the rear supports the buns perfectly as well.  And while I didn’t have the opportunity, I am quite sure that this pair of underwear would spice up any guy’s nightlife, if you know what I mean.

Pros

  • Feels great on the skin
  • large, breathable mesh
  • provides great support in the front and back

Cons

  • not conducive to the the gym unless you are not shy

I have been a fan of N2N for a few years now. They’re material and fabrication is always extremely quality, matched by a very comprehensive understanding of design. The whole brand has many facets (their sportier looks vs their loungewear…) but as a whole, they are always known for being comfortable, looking sexy, and feeling good about what you’re wearing.

This week I get to review the Cotton Pouch Boxer, I actually own 2 of these, one in an olive color, and the one I was sent for reviewing in white. The first thing you’ll notice is the texture. This is super soft cotton. It’s actually a 90% cotton 10% spandex blend, but all you feel is the heavenly cotton that practically put you in a state of serenity just upon wearing them.

The magic trait of the Cotton Pouch Boxer is the elastic sewn into the seam around the pouch. This creates a slight perch for which your genitals will hang down over. This creates a natural hanging but very full pouch in front. The waistband is sturdy but soft elastic to keep the underwear in place. Other than that, the underwear is very subtle in its wear, with no leg elastics, or tight thong-like seams in the back.

I find this underwear wears best in low-athleticism environments. They make great sleepwear, or undies to go under a loose pair of shorts for a nice stroll. I wouldn’t recommend these for running/working out at the gym. Because of the looseness/comfortable cut of the boxer, it can be slightly prone to bunch up at the leg holes. Not to be vulgar, but if it’s cold out, or you’re not a necessarily “hanging down” type of guy, because the pouch elastic border isn’t being anchored from behind (for example like a jock strap would be) you might have some slipping out occur. This doesn’t necessarily feel uncomfortable because the elastic isn’t tensions to an uncomfortable level, but the “presentation” might be thrown off a bit.

The price was fair at 19$ for this super soft pair, and the sizing is on point (as N2N always is), and it will really make you feel extra sexy.

Hey UNB readers! Its me again. And it’s another thong review. I know you love reading about thongs so I wont delay anymore and just get to it. In the mail came another MaleBasics thong. This particular thong is the Malebasics Micro Fiber V-string Thong. I got a red pair. This is actually a great thong and I think the photos and description on their website don’t really display the material this thong is made from. Sure it states that its made from brushed micro-fiber (Nylon 78% Spandex 22%). If you read that would you really know what that means? Me either.

So I opened the packaged and was surprised to see that the pouch was made from a material that is identical to the gym shorts with the perforated holes. We all have a pair of these shorts. I always slip them on for the gym or a hot summer night in my NYC apartment. Now imagine a thong made from it. Genius. It’s soft and is very breathable.

The pouch is made from this great material. Its got a nice curve to the pouch and offered lots of room. The waistband and thong strap are thin elastic in a matching color. The back has a cute touch to the thong. A triangle piece of the brushed micro-fiber sits nicely in the middle of the back connecting the thong strap and waistband.

My one complaint about this item was the thong strap. Since the thong is available in only two sizes (S/M and L/XL) its not as forming fitting as a thong that is truly the size you need. I found the thong strap to be slightly shorter than what I would consider comfortable. I am sure after some wear and tear it will stretch more to fit me better.

Pros –

  • Great fabrication
  • Nice pouch design

Con’s –

  • Thong strap could be longer
  • Sizing options

I always get excited when there is a package in the mail from Tim. It means one thing- more new thongs to try out. Sometimes I am displeased and other times I find a great new thong.  I opened this package and giggled because the thong that was sent was the last color of a style I have been collecting on my own. The N2N Net G-String is one of my favorites. I have already written in my reviews about my love of N2N thong designs. They are really a perfect fit for my body. I already had the tan, white and olive pairs. Now I have the black pair as well.

If you read my thong reviews then I don’t want to repeat myself in terms of the cut, design, and finishing skills that N2N executes with their underwear. In case you haven’t read my review of the LA Haze thong here it is: http://www.underwearnewsbriefs.com/2012/06/review-n2n-bodywear-la-haze/. I am pretty positive that the pattern used to create the Net G is identical.

I wear these thongs for many purposes. It’s always a great item for the beach. No, I a, not saying I wear this by itself. Sometimes when I go away I wear it under soccer or gym shorts. It offers great support and also fast drying so its the perfect “lining” when you have run out of clean swimsuits. I also wear them when I am going to work out. No one wants a sweaty crotch. This pair offers a well ventilated solution when you are doing an extreme workout. I also make it the go to pair when I am going to Bikram yoga.

My only issue is the use of 100% polyester net as the main material. If you wear the thong straight out of the package it can be itchy. The stiff material is easily made comfortable after washing it. So boys- I would recommend this thong for multiple uses but wash it first to soften the material.

Thanks N2N and Tim for completing my collection of this style!

N2NBodywear always has great styling, look, and color combination when it comes to their varying underwear styles.  The Ultra Skin Singlet from n2nBodywear in Harvest Gold was a nice singlet to try.  The fabric consists of 83% Nylon and 17% Spandex and provides a soft feel with the perfect amount of stretch and give to the body hugging fabric.  Size large was a great fit.  It seems that the market for wrestling singlets is growing as I consistently see them in photographs on various websites, more and more companies are making them, and I have seen a couple in various real life settings.

Upon first inspection, I found the singlet to be similar to those worn by wrestlers in high school and college, the quality was good, the harvest gold (think a dark yellow) color had grey and black stripes coming from the lower, inner thigh and extending to the upper, outside hip outlined leg openings, black outlined the neck and arm openings, and the leg length was perfect for easy movement and no bunching.  There is no pouch with this singlet which means it shows off the package very well.  This singlet is more of a flat stretchy piece of fabric rather than having an actual pouch and some guys will love it while others do not.

After putting this singlet on and viewing myself in the mirror, size large was a nice fit and looked nice from the front and the back with the n2n logo on the front chest area.  The rear fit well and the singlet moved with my body movements and conformed to the body in a nice way and showed every curve.  The singlet is sewn in two panels for the rear to provide a nice look with the way the seam falls between the buttocks.  Overall, I enjoyed this singlet with the fit and look, but wasn’t a fan of the color combination.  Also, I found it to be extremely sexy and it made me feel sexy while wearing it so I really want to call this erotic/fetish wear.

Overall, this was an enjoyable pair of underwear/activewear/wrestling wear/erotic/fetish wear (not sure what to call it as it is adaptable to various situations).  I liked the feel of the fabric and the look of the singlet.  The price is reasonable for this type of specialty underwear/activewear.  In general, I have a couple of complaints about this singlet.  First, I am not sure where one would really wear this singlet to other than a wrestling “event.”  This leads me to wonder just how many times I will get to wear this singlet and is it worth the money to buy one for one or two wears.  I mean, one is really not going to wear this to the gym, running, sitting at work under your clothes, etc.  Second, washing should provide no problem with the fabric combination, but do not iron.

Performing in a musical this weekend, singing and dancing, I decided was the perfect opportunity to try out the Pistol Pete Zone Jock. A little untraditional in the setting, the Zone Jock made of 95% cotton and 5 % spandex held up fantastically, keeping everything in place very well.

Lookwise, the Zone Jock is average for a jock, not much flash, nothing very different looking from any other jock. The efficiency of the pouch is where I’ve found the Zone Jock to really shine. The material is extremely soft and comforting while keeping taut hugging everything very nicely preventing very much movement. No bouncy balls here!

While I have reviewed one or two jocks that have not had an issue with the straps in the back rolling, this seems to be a major issue overall in jocks. Unfortunately, the Pistol Pete Zone Jock continues in this trend. Throughout the show (when not on stage), I found myself rearranging the straps so that they sat properly on the bottom of my cheeks.

At $19 from pistolpete.com and available in two attractive color combinations (navy/sky, black/red), the Pistol Pete Zone Jock is a great buy if you’re just looking for a jock. It’s not fancy, but it does the job of a jock very well at a very affordable price.

This is a signature brief I wish I could put my signature on. This pair is one of the best pair of briefs I have ever owned and worn. These briefs were a great pair to wear in an everyday setting or in an athletic setting. I wore these all day long and really was pleased with the fit and material.

The day I had was an active day. I ran a lot of errands and so I was on the move a lot and they didn’t get baggy at all. They fit and breathed well so I didn’t get that sticky feeling or unclean feeling.  It is a fantastic pair and at a great price!

The only negative I have with this pair is that I have a pair of briefs similar to them and they have ripped after a few weeks of being in the washing machine . Even though it’s a thin breathable material, if the make is not good, it could rip easily if pulled roughly or just worn a lot, but as most cotton materials do, they will rip if worn out.

Positives-

  • Very comfortable fit.
  • They were made from cotton and was very breathable.
  • The pair was not baggy by the end of the day.
  • They look fantastic on you!

Negatives

  • Material

N2N usually makes some very durable gear and it is a pair I would recommend to any man who wants a fashionable yet good pair of briefs that can be worn for any normal day activities or sporting event!

This thong is unique because each pair has a unique in its pattern design. The L.A. haze G thong from N2N is hand spun and dyed and is available in two colors Indigo Blue and Sunset Yellow. I was given the Sunset Yellow pair to review. The hue of the yellow is rich and bright without being neon. The thong is made from 90% cotton and 10% spandex. It’s a really great soft feeling cotton with lots of stretch.

I always love wearing a comfortable thong to the gym. I prefer to not have to adjust my underwear while working out. There is nothing worse than being in the middle of a set and your underwear becomes uncomfortable to the point of distraction. If you are a guy like me that loves wearing a support pair with freedom for leg movements then you should definitely try this thong. I know that many of you don’t wear thongs. Some might wear them in the privacy of your home and would never want to be caught wearing one at the gym. Let me try to change your mind.

I probably own about over 200 hundred pairs of underwear at this point. Most of my collection is briefs and thongs. I probably wear a thong 4 times a week on average. Every time I get a new pair I compare it to my favorite thong of all time. N2N previously made a thong called the Odyssey. The L.A. Haze G is the exact same model. I know many thong lovers on the internet have expressed their love for the Odyssey. I have even read some bloggers that are not normal fans of a thong singing its praise. For some reason N2N decided to change the name. The design and cut of this garment is exactly the same. I can’t see any reason to change the name but they did. Instead of the grey tones previously offered now we get it two great bold tie dyed colors. It’s summer time now boys so pick up the fun colors before they are discontinued as well.

The design itself is simplistic and so comfortable on the body. A nice wide front and a generous t-back make it appropriate to wear as underwear or even a swimsuit if you are comfortable enough. The pouch is 3 dimensional. It lifts you up and forward with squishing you to pieces. There is nothing worse than a thong that applies pressure and flattens the bulge. The strap is the perfect width with plenty of stretch to ensure comfort.

My final advice- buy it. Buy it now. Buy 20 pairs. You won’t regret it. Trust me on this one!

Pros –

  • Great fabrication
  • Great fit
  • Close to naked feeling

Cons –

  • Not enough color options

I squealed with excitement when I opened my mailbox to find that my first ever pair of N2N’s had arrived. I was on my way out of town for the weekend, so ran up to my condo to toss it on, and skip out of town. Upon first inspection, I thought that I would never fit into the tiny undergarment, made from 90% cotton 10% spandex. The waist and pouch all looked too small, however, much to my surprise, the ultra thin fabric stretched to just the right size.

I grabbed my suitcase and set out for the journey out of town. It was a hot spring day, so the breathable material was perfect for running last minute errands around town. I completely forgot that I even had it on! I was rocking the white pair, as the only other option is black. The fit of the small was out of this world, just the right amount of stretch, while maintaining their shape as the day wore one. After schlepping through the city, I hopped in my car. The thong stayed in place during my errands and even after all the getting in and out of my car that I did. After time, especially when sitting, sometimes the back strap of the thong can have a little ‘pull,’ which sometimes leads to slight discomfort, however, that was not the case with the Cotton G.

Again, the thong is constructed out of a stretchy cotton/spandex blend. The seams are all well-stitched, and finished properly, meaning there were no loose threads or uneven stitches. The waist straps are about an inch wide, while the rear strap is about a half an inch. This thong has a single-layered contoured pouch with a seam that runs down the center, giving things a little boost. The way the pouch is seamed and contoured lifts your package up and out, with out doing so in an uncomfortable way, because we all know those built in straps and cups get awkward after a few hours. The care tag is very small and located at the top of the back of the thong, made out of a soft material, so it did not cause discomfort.

I cannot even begin to express my love for this thong. It is perfect! From the single-layered, contoured pouch to the stretchy breathable material, this might be the best thong I have ever had the pleasure of wearing!

In terms of care, N2N suggests a cold hand or machine wash, and a quick bout in the dryer on low/medium heat. I put them through the wringer and they held up quite well! They go for around $15 and come in classic black and white!

Pros

–                single layered, contoured pouch

–                soft, breathable fabric

–                low rise, barely there

Con’s

–           only two color options

The International Mr. Leather Competition and Convention takes place every year in Chicago and involves 8000 men and women dressed in leather, rubber, or whatever other fetish gear you can imagine (David and I spent one evening in saran wrap and duct tape).  One recurring theme that I noticed throughout the weekend this year was the inundation of IML with singlets including the N2N PX singlet!

I wore my N2N PX singlet around the fetish market on our second day at IML. Just while wearing it (approximately and hour or two), I saw 2 others wearing the exact same singlet (blue/white) and one guy wearing the same singlet in the yellow/black color combination.

In this very sexy slinky singlet (say that five times fast), the solid fabric is made of 79% recycled polyester and 21% spandex, while the mesh fabric is 96% micro polyester and 4% spandex.  While I love most of the design of the singlet (it is seriously sexy), I did have an issue with the back strap. On myself and the others that I saw wearing the singlet (and I saw a variety of body types), there is always a space between the lower back and the back strap that detracts from the look of the singlet.

My biggest issue with this singlet however is that (other than at an event like IML) I’m not sure how much use someone can get from the singlet. While it is definitely sexy, it’s not exactly something that can be worn underneath clothing for an extended period of time, and it’s definitely not gym wear with the exposure of the low cut.

PROS

  • Sexy
  • Different
  • Very popular already

CONS

  • Space between back and back strap
  • When can it be worn?

The pair I am reviewing is the N2N Bodywear Air Trunk. This is part of the new N2N collection that they just released. The pair is made out of60% polyester / 32% rayon / 8% spandex. Which make it very breathable and a great pair for summer.

The first look at this pair, I noticed like the previous pair I reviewed for the Luxe line, was there was no elastic in the legs. Since I had experience with the Luxe, I hoped that it would be a similar fit and it basically was, with out anything falling out.

The fabric was some of the best. Here in the south we are getting supper hot and there’s nothing worse then having underwear that makes you hotter. This pair really breathed and kept me super comfy through out the day. The sizing was very good and I have never had any issues with sizing with any pair I have received from N2N.

The new waistband they created for the Air line is super sexy to me. I love the thin band with the N2N branding. This is carried over in all styles in the Air line.

My only complaint is that I wished it had a little more support in the pouch. It does have a nice pouch and things don’t fall out or move around too much. However this is a minor complaint. I will definitely wear these again and put them in my underwear drawer!

Pros:

  • Very breathable
  • Great thin waistband

Con:

  • Like a more supportive pouch

N2N Bodywear never fails to impress me with styling, look, and color combination when it comes to their varying underwear forms and fashion.  The Quantum Brief from n2n Bodywear in Spicy Orange was a nice brief to try.  The fabric consists of 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex to provide a soft feel with the perfect amount of stretch and give.  Most companies are beginning to use fabric blends instead of the standard 100% cotton we are all used to and I like it.  Size large was an okay fit, but not necessarily true to size with a comfortable one and a half inch dark grey, white, and orange striped waistband with the N2N logo placed several times on the waistband.

Upon first inspection, I found the brief to be more of a mini brief rather than an actual brief, the quality was good, the spicy orange (think a dark orange) color with grey, orange, and white striped waistband was a nice contrast, grey outlined leg openings, and the crotch fabric was slim for easy movement and no bunching.  There is a very slight pouch (if you really want to call it that) near the bottom of the front of the brief.  This brief is more of a flat stretchy piece of fabric rather than an actual pouch brief.  After putting this pair on and viewing myself in the mirror, size large was a bit smallish, but not tragically so.  The rear fit well and the brief moved with my body movements and conformed to the body in a nice way.  Overall, I enjoyed this brief with the fit and color combination.

I wore this N2N Bodywear Quantum Brief from beginning of the day until around 6:30 that evening.  I began the day with an hour and a half drive to a local tourist town, spent the day shopping and such in the heat, ate lunch, and drove back home before peeling this brief off.  The brief was comfortable and supportive throughout the day and I had no issue with riding up or bunching of fabric.

Overall, this was an enjoyable pair of underwear and loved the color combination of dark orange and grey.  I liked the feel of the fabric and the look of the brief.  The price is reasonable for this type of specialty underwear.  In general, I have a couple of complaints about this brief.  First, sizing for N2N undies seems to be slightly off, but not dramatically so.  Second, these undies come with washing it by hand (or wash with like colors) instructions which could be an issue with some guys, but I have no problem performing this simple routine of washing.  I would HIGHLY recommend washing the brief by hand, or on cold and delicate cycle if you use a machine then hanging/laying it flat to dry.

The Air Bikini is a winner in my book!  Known for creating underwear that looks great and feels exceptionally good, N2N has done it again!  The fabric is 60% polyester, 30% rayon and 8% spandex, giving it that famous N2N  “almost nothing” feel.   I received it in black; it is also available in white, grey, and cream.  As soon as I took it out of the package I knew I was going to love this underwear.

I started my day working in the office, wearing them under a pair of long shorts.  To say that they felt great is an understatement.  I love the way they hugged the goods in front like a second skin.  This bikini does a great job of keep everything just where you want it.   And don’t let the term ‘bikini’ fool you.

The seat is full and felt great; I didn’t have to adjust it at all.  A medium fit my 31” waist perfectly.  And I must admit, there is a certain sexy feeling I got wearing underwear that so many other would consider too skimpy.   I showed them to a couple of good friends; the defining comment was “Wow, who knew a men’s bikini could be that hot!”.  The shorts I had on sat low on my hips and several times I realized that the band of the waist was showing, with a little skin showing below them and it didn’t bother me at all.

I can honestly say that I have nothing negative to say about this pair.  They look and feel great, and I can’t wait to get the other colors!

Pros

  • Fits like a glove
  • available in 4 colors
  • full seat

Cons

  • none

N2N Bodywear has nice underwear.  I am never disappointed by their styling, look, and color combinations.  They seem to really have figured out what guys like in underwear and how underwear should fit and function.  The N2NBodywear Signature Boxer in white with black trim and yellow lettering was nice to try due to many of the reasons that I mentioned earlier.  The fabric consists of 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex for a soft feel with perfect stretch and conforming abilities to provide adequate support and lines.  Size Large was a nice fit and was true to size with a comfortable one and a half inch black waistband and N2NBodywear listed around the waistband in yellow and white lettering to provide a nice contrast against the black band.  The body of the brief was white with black contrasting detailing around the leg openings and next to the pouch.

Upon first inspection, the signature boxer is more of a squarecut low rise brief (think of a shorter version of a squarecut brief), the quality was good, the white with black trim and yellow lettering was a excellent touch. The rear consisted of three separate panels to provide support and definition of the rear and the pouch size was adequate (stretchy and accommodating for the larger package).  After putting this pair on, I found the pouch to be defining and I loved the two black strips of fabric on each side of the pouch to enhance the pouch and draw attention to the goody basket.  One of the strips of fabric actually creates the pouch and nestles behind the package to provide lift and places the goods out front.  I like this addition.  The fabric was conforming and felt like a second skin against my body as it moved fluidly with my body movements.  The rear was excellent!  The way the rear is paneled together in three pieces allows for definition and provided a nice look.

I wore this N2NBodywear Signature Boxer from beginning of the day until around 10:30 that night.  I began the day with my two hour drive to a contract position, providing assessments from 9:00am-1:00pm, driving to do a bit of shopping and trying on clothes, and driving another hour back home.  After all of this, the boxer remained comfortable and supportive.  I had no problem with riding up or bunching of fabric as this boxer really felt like I was not wearing anything at all and acted like a second skin.   The pouch was supportive and comfortable.

Overall, this was a great pair of underwear and served the purpose well.  I liked the look of the rear panels, the feel of the fabric, the overall look of the brief, the conforming nature of the fabric, and the contrasting of black and white coloring.  The price is reasonable for this type of specialty underwear due to styling, coloring, and fit.  In general, I have no major complaints about this boxer other than the washing it by hand instructions (or with like colors, it states on the tag) which could be an issue with some guys, but I have no problem performing this simple routine of washing.  One could simply wash the undies in cold water and hang/lay flat to dry with no problems.

We got in a lot of N2N Bodywear to review. It has been one of my favorite brands to review. The pair this time was is the Performance Box. If you have been a long time reader you know I am not a huge fan of the boxer briefs/trunks. I really prefer briefs. However, these were not your typical trunks.

The performance line is made out of 96% micro polyester 4% spandex.  It was sort of a mesh but really was breathable. Back, to my distain for trunks, when I got these I was a little skeptical due to the pouch design. There didn’t seem to be a noticeable pouch.  However, it turned out to be a really supportive pouch

I decided to wear these to the UNB Swimwear shoot. Nothing would put a pair to the test, then having to run around the lake, making sure suits where in order, models shot and such. It was a cloudy but nice day and I was really impressed with these. They gave me great support and really breathed through out the day.  There was one thing that annoyed me, that was the tag. It rubbed me the wrong way a few times but not all day.

The sizing on the pair was true. One thing I have found in N2N has great sizing. Its’ not one you have to worry about running large or small.

Pros:

  • Great fit
  • Breathable through out the day
  • great for someone active

Cons:

  • Tag annoyed me

The pair I was lucky enough to review was the N2N Bodywear Luxe Trunk. N2N is one company that I love to wear and try out new pairs. This pair is made out of 92% Polyester / 8% Spandex, which makes it fit your body.  This made the sizing fit true, so you shouldn’t have to worry about sizing issues.

As I mentioned I love trying out new N2N. However, this one made me a bit nervous. The reason is there isn’t any elastic in the legs. It made me wonder if the pair would loose shape and not support everything. I soon found out that this wasn’t an issue.  Through out the day it held it’s form. When I made it to 3 PM I knew I was in the clear and the undies are well made.

I wore to work and didn’t do anything too out of the ordinary. It fit me very well through the day. I have reviewed a  previous pair in the Luxe line , that was the Luxe brief. The Trunk is a pair that one really lived up to the Luxe name. I would suggest the Luxe trunk is perfect for daily wear. It moves with you and gives you great support.

There isn’t much or anything I didn’t like about the pair. My only complaint could be add a few more colors. Which is a minor complaint. There were no tag, fit or construction issues. I loved the way it fit and N2N created a great pouch. It will definitely go into my underwear rotation.

Pros:

  • Great fit
  • Built in pouch
  • Great materials

Cons:

  • More colors

I’ve never bought anything from Pistol Pete, but have heard great things about the brand.  So I was very happy to learn I would be reviewing the Rookie Jock Brief.  The fabric is 72% polyester, 25% rayon, and 3% spandex.  Which makes the pair feel super soft and sexy.  The pair I received the royal blue one in a size medium, which sometimes is dicey for me as I tend to run smack dab in the middle of a small and medium in lots of brands.

I wore this jock brief on a regular work day for me, which tends to be pretty active.  Sitting at my desk, I loved the way this underwear felt.  The waistband was not constricting at all, yet maintained it’s grip comfortably on my hips.  As I wandered through the office periodically, I found myself having to adjust the pouch every so often due to the goods shifting around, which I attribute to the stretch of the fabric.   The leg straps were not too tight, which I love in a good jock.  I don’t think I had to tug on them at all during the day.

I love the colors this jock comes in.  Pistol Pete did a great job of using contrast stitching for the waistband and legs.  And the width of the the sides is such that from the front you’d never know these were a jock brief, providing an added element of surprise!

Pros

  • Feels great on the skin
  • available in multiple colors
  • provides great support in the back

Cons

  • Pouch stretches a little while wearing

With most good underwear, at some point during a day of wear, you should start to forget that you’re wearing underwear and not notice it. Thongs seem to be the exception to this rule as a good thong while not making you think about it all day. It will every once in a while rub the right way to remind you that it’s there. Made of a nylon, elastane, and lycra mix, the Bum-Chums Black Sneak Peek Thong does just that in all the right ways.

While a bit timid to immediately wear the thong for a full day, I felt ballsy (no pun intended) one day and decided to go for it. I’m very glad I did. They were extremely comfortable and every once in a while I’d move my body in a way that the thong strap would rub in just the right way. When that happens, it just makes you feel sexy for just that one instant, no matter where you are or what else you are wearing.

Speaking of sexy, these are sure to get some looks in (and out) of the bedroom. The mesh is beautiful and the shape of the underwear, both back and front is fantastic framing everything perfectly. The only place you may not want to wear them is the gym (between the thong rubbing, and the mesh not hiding anything, it may not be the appropriate activewear)

This underwear is a fantastic all-around thong. It’s smooth, sexy, comfortable and appropriate for everyday wear. Next time you think about being a little daring in everyday life, I highly recommend trying out the Bum-Chums Black Sneak Peek Thong!

PROS

  • Comfortable
  • Sexy
  • The right kind of rubbing
