Review – Modus Vivendi Zeus Natrual Jock

No Comments

Modus Vivendi is an exciting company from Greece with a wonderful website and fantastic products!  While there is a large selection of all types of underwear, most of the pairs are fashioned after the Greek gods with several styles representing each god.  I found each god to have an exciting selection of underwear, but the Zeus jockstrap caught my eye from the beginning.  Without hesitation, it was the one I had to try!

The Zeus Natural jockstrap comes in a natural coloring with extraordinary touches.  The waistband is approximately 3.5 inches in width and is very comfortable and slightly stretchy.  Along the front of the waistband and above the pouch is a piece of brown leatherlike material.  This adds to the design and brings just the right touch to make the jockstrap more earthy in conjunction with the natural coloring.  On the back of the waistband is a piece of fabric that has a hand drawing of Zeus on it.  The leg bands are the same nautral coloring as the waistband and the pouch and are pieces of rope that have knots tied in them where they join the waistband.  This was an exciting touch to an already great pair of underwear.  The same leatherlike piece of material is on the bottom of the pouch and fits comfortalby behind your package with the rope leg straps threaded through it.  The comfortable and ample pouch is a ribbed pouch that is pieced together with an exposed seam.  It seems everything that went into designing and making this pair of underwear was thought out thoroughly.

The fabric is 94% Cotton, and 6% Elastane.  This selection of materials created a slightly stretchy fabric, but one that holds its shape and molds to the body.  The leg openings were perfectly sized with adjustable rope legsstraps.  Overall, I was pleased with the fit, but with all European undies, you may want to order one size up or refer to their sizing chart to find your perfect fit.

I wore this on standard days of general daily activity and shopping.  This jockstrap was very comfortable and felt perfect against my body with no tightness issues.  The fabric was soft with a nicely sized waistband width for a jockstrap.  My khaki pants and my jeans had no issue with clinging to the undies or pulling at them during the day due to the fabric.  Modus Vivendi has these on their website for the cost of $44.67.  Now, this is rather pricey for most of us, but it is worth the cost!  I love this jockstrap and all of the Modus Vivendi products.  This jockstrap may be thought of as the prize piece in your collection, or a special occasion pair of underwear.  I can imagine someone wearing this to an underwear contest, underwear party, or club and totally having all the attention.

Pikante 80’s Mosaic Jockstrap

No Comments

When I first received this jockstrap, the words that entered my mind were, ‘you can’t be serious’.  However, being the open-minded person that I self-proclaim, I was open to trying the innovated design and construction that sets this manufacturer apart from their counterparts.  Based on the quality of materials and yet unconventional style, I was eager to put this jockstrap to test.

This particular line designed by Pikante called ‘80’s Mosaic’ a jockstrap with wide elastic and the waist embroidered with the brand in a contrasting black color.  It’s made of soft cotton printed with tiles in earth and blue tones that give a modern twist.  This jock provides excellent support while being comfortable at the same item.  This pair is comprised of 93% cotton and 7% Spandex materials.

I pushed the envelope a bit and gave this jock a real workout at the gym recently.  It provided adequate support as a good jock should and still felt comfortable and unobtrusive in supporting the goods.  I was totally pleased with the visual appeal and fit of this jock which says a lot for a guy who prefers the traditional trunk for everyday underwear.

In summary, with warmer weather just days ahead for most of us, if you’re looking for a new jock to add to your spring collection, you might strongly consider this manufacturer.  However, if you’re simply looking to add some sex appeal to your underwear collection, Pikante also provides a variety of additional jockstraps, thongs and several see through pieces, which is reflective of their tag line as ‘Spicy Underwear’.

Review – Petit-Q Rivera Brief

No Comments

I was lucky enough to get this brief from Petit-Q.  All the reviewers were given the chance to review Petit Q’s new line and was asked which pair they wanted. At first I was afraid it wasn’t going to fit me since I wear a small and was sent a medium. I am glad I was sent a medium because it fit much better than I suspect a small would.

The design itself is very unique with the cut away eliminating fabric from most of the left side of the garment. When I first put it on I was afraid that since the whole left side consisted of two strings that the brief was going to pull to the right and cause discomfort. I could not have been more wrong. The design stayed in place throughout the entire day and night I wore it. The only thing I found adjusting was the crotch fabric. It has a tendency to slip a little lower than I would have preferred. I was not in danger of falling out of the brief. For me personally, I prefer a crotch that is sewn with a bigger “C” to give more room. The room in the crotch does not crush or push flat but it could use a tiny tweak in the construction to offer more room.

I have to say that even though this is not a thong, which is my personal favorite style, this bikini is one of my new favorite pairs of underwear in my collection. If you are an underwear fan that is looking for fun pieces to augment your collection than I would definitely suggest you add this to your drawer.

Review – Petit-Q invisible boxer

No Comments

Petit-Q is a brand that UNB has done a couple of write-ups on over the last year. They recently developed their own line of skimpy and sexy underwear. I was sent the invisible boxer in a size medium to review.

I first have to say that if I walked into a store or was shopping online, I don’t think I would have picked these out for myself. I am all about skimpy undies and I even love me a good thong, but for some reason the look of these undies and myself did not hit it off.  These undies are very low cut undie and are meant to feel and looks like you are wearing nothing. There isn’t too much to these undies either.  The material is a nude color mesh with a thin elastic waistband. They are designed to sit a good 3 to 4 inches below your waist.  They do feature a nice front pouch that enhances the size and shape of your package. There isn’t a lot of material coving the back either. I would say the cut is more like a bikini cut than anything else that I have seen.

One thing that I do like about the Petit-Q invisible boxer is that it does exactly what you would by these for. They have a very sexy, and unique cut. I don’t think this is something that I could wear to work or the gym, nor do I think I would want to, but they are perfect for adding a little extra spice to the bedroom. These would be a great Valentine’s Day gift for any man in life.

PRO’s:

  1. Achievement – They achieve exactly what you would buy these undies for.
  2. Front Pouch – The front pouch is roomy and very comfy. Probably one of the more comfortable pouches I have tried in a while.

CON’s

  1. Color – I would have loved to seen these in black or red.  I think a little color would have attracted me a little more to these.
  2. Very low cut – This is just a personal preference of mine. I like mine undies to sit just below the waist, not around my hips and pelvis.

SCORE:

Fit: 4.0
Materials: 3.0
Construction: 3.0
Look: 3.0
Daily Wear: 2.0
OVERALL: 3.0

You can pick a pair of these up through Petit-Q’s website for around $34 USD. If you are looking for something a little more sexy check out the other styles that Petit-Q has to offer.

Review – Maclovia Platinum Teal PT339 trunk

No Comments

Maclovia is one of those brands that I had never heard of before, but it is one that is going to stick in my mind. From the moment that I saw the look of these undies to the moment that I tried them one, I LOVED THEM.

UNB sent me the Maclovia Platinum Teal PT339 trunk in a size small to review. One of the first things that I noticed was the bold choice in color. These trunks are white with blocks of navy and heather grey color. They are very bold but don’t overwhelm. The trunk featured a closed fly with a very roomy front pouch. The waistband is a 1.5 inch silver metallic material with the Maclovia logo. The fabric is amazing. It is soft and provides enough stretch for great movement and all-day wear.

These are a trunk style cut, so they are going to be a little shorter in the inseam. They sit just below the waist, which is exactly where I like it. The fit is pretty true. I usually wear a medium (32 waist), but these smalls fit. They were a little tight, but not enough for me to send them back. I did notice they did shrink a little after the first time I washed them.

PRO’s:

  1. The Look – If you are looking for a bold but not to flashy pair of undies, these and the other Maclovia styles are for you.
  2. The Fabric – The fabric is soft yet sturdy and provides enough stretch for all-day, everyday wear.

CON’s

  1. The Waistband – The waistband is pretty standard, but I noticed that it is pretty stiff and doesn’t offer a lot of give. If you get a pair that doesn’t fit right, that could be uncomfortable.

SCORE:

Fit: 4.0

You can pick a pair of these up through Maclovia’s website for around $18.75, and while you are their I would check out some of their other styles as well.  Lots of great looking undies; and if you don’t see anything you like, keep checking back as according to their website they are providing new styles quarterly.

Review – Ryocco 1453 Thong

No Comments

Ryocco 1453 thong

I love getting new thongs to try and was eager to spend a day wearing the Ryocco thong. The fabric is a really soft feeling fabric. It was great to wear to the gym because it was so light. I loved the black, grey, and white camo print.

The design has some great things and some not so great things. I would have recommended any person that is interested in trying a thong to try this one because of the design of the back of the garment. Most thongs are a skimpy back and most guys would be embarrassed if they were caught “whale tailing” out of the back of their jeans. The Ryocco thong is designed with coverage on the back that looks like you might be wearing briefs if your underwear peeks out of the waistband of your pants. It sounds a little strange to say but I would describe this design as a full coverage thong.

I normally wear thongs very often to I was surprised when I noticed that when at the gym I had a bit of discomfort with the actual strap of the thong. My only complaint would be that the strap is too wide. While working out I felt the strap fold in half. It wasn’t so uncomfortable that I was miserable but I did have to dig in my gym shorts to adjust it.

Would I wear it again? Yes. I don’t know if I would wear it to work out in again. I would wear it on a night on the town under my jeans. As a matter if fact its time to get dressed to go out…….

Review – Male Power Stretch Wonder Lace Bikini

No Comments

Lace underwear for men? When I posted on the UNB Facebook page, there has been only one other time we had more comments about a topic. The other topic was Tim Tebow.  Lace Underwear was one of those things that many of the guys said they would never wear lace underwear for men. The comments were overwhelmingly negative.

Before I get into the review, I want to say that it was an interesting pair to review. When I first saw lace undies for men, I had the same reaction as the Facebook fans. “I will never wear those.” I told myself. However, in the last year my feeling for lace has changed. It went from I will never wear them to, HMM maybe I need to give them a try. That’s when MalePower sent Lace Underwear to UNB.

I was really worried when I got them that they wouldn’t hold their shape all day. I mean how much support could you get from a pair of lace underwear? Well, I got some great support. The fabric is 85% nylon and 15% Elastane. Which made the pair a lot more giving then I thought.

The sizing is pretty much typical American sizing.  The pair I received fit and wore very well. I was surprised how well I liked them. I figured that it may ride up, drive me crazy in the pouch but neither happened. All in all they are a great pair.

If you are interested in lace underwear, I would suggest this as a starter pair. It wasn’t very expensive. It retails for $15 at many retailers online. I have seen other pairs for more.

Pros:

  • Fit very nice
  • Is a different look
  • Great price

Cons:

  • Not sure where you would wear them (the gym is out)
  • Needs to be available in more colors
  • Some people may not like to see guys in Lace

Review – NDS Wear Austin’s Swimsuit Jammer Review

No Comments

NDS Wear known for their diverse line of men’s swimwear has done it again!  What a fun way to kick off a new year by sporting my first pair of new swim wear added to my collection.  This occurred earlier last week upon receiving these amazing, classic navy and yellow jammers.  I took these out for a test run in the pool at my local gym and fell in love with these sporty briefs immediately.   While I’m usually a trunk kind of guy even when it comes to swimwear, these are exceptionally well constructed and faltering to the male torso.

Whether you’re looking for swimwear for water sports, simply walking on the beach, or lying out at the pool, these have you covered on all accounts.  First, the construction and fabrics used in this sexy jammer is what I’ve come to appreciate from this manufacturer. These carry a blend of 83% Nylon and 17% Spandex.  This creates the perfect weight for ensuring these will keep their shape for seasons to come.

For me, perfect construction is a fundamental requirement of swimwear due to the relentless abuse and multi-function tasks that we require from a good pair of jammers.  These Austin Jammers have a piping yellow contrast running from upper back side to front leg side with an additional accent white piping.  Lined inside front and back and also carries an adjustable string for a tighter and secure fit.  Great ready boys, these are going to make you head to the pool early!

Extreme Python Bikini

No Comments

When the opportunity to review a new pair of bikini underwear had arrived, Extreme generated a lot of initial thoughts one of which was trepidation.  The mere word conjures up the idea of new innovation, wild and creative construction, technically advanced fabrics, and a look that’ll blow your socks off.   Therefore, I had high expectations that this faux Python skin would live up to the wild and uninhibited image that the company’s name conveys.  Once I opened the package, all my preconceived ideas went out the window and I was ready to embark on a new underwear adventure.

Let me just start by saying that these are the most comfortable and light-weight pair of bikini briefs I’ve sported in quite some time.  Their first test run included wearing at work all day and then to the gym in the afternoon.  Throughout the day, I couldn’t believe how amazingly cool and comfy this pair offered, while still providing all the needed support.  With this type of underwear you typically expect just a sexy, hot bikini and with nothing else to offer with the exception of a good lay.  However, the low-rise silhouette of this men’s Extreme bikini underwear provides a no-show waistband with a flattering contoured pouch.

This leopard-print faux snakeskin stretch bikini underwear from Extreme is construction with 93% Polyester and 7% Spandex materials.   This bikini is definitely designed like a second skin and is a seductive style that makes and unforgettable impression.  If you’re looking to release your inner animal instinct, you need to check these out.

Review – Ryocco Brief 1446

No Comments

My first impression of the RYOCCO dark blue stripe bikini brief from Colombia was, Wow!  That looks just like some Unico briefs I have.  With that said, this review may not bode well for RYOCCO, but we shall see.  The design of the underwear features what the brand calls an “enhancement cup” instead of a pouch.  Well, it is a pouch.  Like so many other underwear companies, the focus is on creating a seam, or band, that creates a pouch by running from the waistband and down and around the package to pull the package up and push it out.  This is a nice feature of newer pouch style underwear, but some go to the extreme in lifting and pushing forward.  RYOCCO did a nice job on the pouch, but it is a pouch that many guys will not entirely fit into as it gives very little and is on the smaller side.

The fabric is 63.1% Poylster, 34% Cotton, and 2.9% Spandex.  This selection of materials created a slightly stretchy fabric, but one that holds its shape and molds to the body.  The seat and sides had large stripes while the pouch had smaller stripes to provide visual interest.  The leg openings were small and tight which provided an uncomfortable fit.  The rear panel was sewn in two pieces with a large seam that defined the buttocks well.  The crotch was just the right width so that it would not bunch up and feel odd while wearing.  Overall, I was not pleased with the fit and size Large was small for me as I can wear most any large perfectly.

I wore these on standard days of general daily activity and shopping.  This bikini brief was not very comfortable and felt tight against my body.  The fabric was soft with a nicely sized waistband width.  My khaki pants and my jeans had no issue with clinging to the undies or pulling at them during the day due to the fabric.  I found several sites offering this bikini for around $20.  So, the cost is high for this pair of underwear.  Overall, I felt this pair of briefs to be rather disappointing.  However, I am certain that if you like Unico underwear, you will like these, as well, due to the fit and selection of styles they offer.

Review – Extreme Alpine Trunk

No Comments

Extreme Collection underwear provides us with an exciting and enticing pair of lace pouch-front trunks/shorts.  I hesitate to call it lace because many guys will feel it is not masculine to wear lace. If you are one of those guys, just mentally substitute mesh where I write lace and all will be well in the universe.  Speaking of masculine, I will not try to define masculine simply because masculine is one of those words that has varying meanings among guys.  So, let us move on past what is masculine and its definition and simply enjoy the underwear for what it is and what it is meant to be.

The fabric is 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex and stretches and molds to the body.  The waist and the pouch are outlined by a solid white piece of elastic that is approximately one-fourth of an inch in width.  This provides a nice look to the trunks.  The pouch is sewn in two panels and the elastic piece rests behind your package to lift and show it off nicely.  The rear is pieced in two panels, as well, and comforms to your assets to better show off and define that area.  I found the feel of the fabric to be soft and comfortable against my body.  The fabric is sheer and allows full exposure of the body.  Size Large fit nicely.

I was able to wear this pair a couple of times before writing this review and I found the trunk to be comfortable and very wearable.  This is a nice blend for the fabric and will allow for easy washing and drying and long term wearability.  I wore these with blue jeans and track pants.  The trunk did not pull against the fabric or bunch up in those areas we all detest them to.  I felt erotic and sexy the entire time I had them on.  Many times, my underwear seems to give me extra confidence and a personality boost.  Overall, I enjoyed the lace trunk and feel it is a nice change from the normal cotton/other fabric type of underwear that I wear and review.

Review – PPU Pin Stripe 0998 Bikini

No Comments

The PPU Pin Stripe  0998 bikini was a fun pair of underwear to try out.  PPU Underwear is an underwear company from Colombia that seeks to create underwear of high-quality, affordable, and sexy intimate apparel for men.  The look of the bikini was above average with the stark white waistband and black front and back, but the pin striping set everything off nicely.

The fabric consisted of 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex and was soft and conforming.  It seems like every underwear company is experimenting successfully with fabric combinations. The same fabric composition can change drastically among companies.  The waistband measures one and three-quarters inches and was white with a shiny PPU logo embroidered on it.  The logo was not centered above the front panel, so this will not make everyone happy, but it really does not bother me.  The leg openings were highlighted by a slim white piece of elastic material to provide a nice contract to the black fabric.  Overall, the fabric and design was very comfortable.

Size large fit well.  The pouch was pieced together from two separte pieces of fabric to provide the cut that fits the best on the male form.  There was an internal seam which I never noticed while wearing.  The rear is a medium fit and some guys will not like how it hits their assets  The leg openings were comfortable.  The piece of fabric that hits the area behind your package was slim and just the right width.

I wore these on standard days of general daily activity.  This bikini was comfortable and felt great against my body with the soft fabric and right sized waistband width.  My khaki pants and my jeans had no issue with clinging to the undies or pulling at them during the day due to the slick fabric.  I found several sites offering this bikini for less than $20.  So, the cost is a bit high, but you do get what you pay for, I suppose.  Overall, I enjoyed the majority of the features of this bikini.

Review – CandyMan 9511 Thong

No Comments

Today, I am going to review the CandyMan 9511 Thong. This thong has a triangular cut out at the top of the front pouch as well as the rear strap. Much to my surprise, I receive a pair with a black waistband and nautical white/navy striped pouch! Loving everything nautical, I couldn’t wait to toss on these babies!

The construction appeared to be well done, although my OCD got the best of me seeing as the stripes don’t line up on the 93%Polyester, 7% Elastane pouch. Upon first test drive, I realized that one must dress in the ‘down position’ as the pouch wasn’t quite large enough and dressing ‘up’ would result in a potential ‘escape’ of the anaconda … If you know what I mean. That noted, The pouch cut out, when positioned correctly allowed for one to pull their ‘snake’ out, allowing it to freely hang while the boys remain nicely supported inside the pouch.

I wore this thong to work and out for drinks afterward. The pouch, being a little too small, required proper adjustment a few times during the day. The fabric, while descent, wasn’t the softest thing, which caused a little discomfort towards the end of the day.

Likes:

  • Good construction
  • Great pattern
  • Suggestive design.

Dislikes:

  • Pouch was on the smaller side
  • Cut out required one ‘dress’ down
  • Fabric wasn’t the softest

Review Valentino’s G-String

No Comments

My name is Sean, I live, play and work in the design industry in Boston. I have been wearing thongs for years! I originally fell in love at the thought of wearing something that was barely there, but then came to appreciate the functional design of such a garment. I wear thongs during my day-to-day life, especially in the summer and nearly always at the gym. Thongs are perfect for the gym because they do not restrict any motion and there is very little bunching – as an avid yogi and runner, this is a MUST! I also wear thongs out on the town, not to show off, but to go un-noticed under light colored pants.

Today, I am going to review the NDS G-Sting from ABC Underwear. This particular G-String comes in a variety of colors, I just so happen to be wearing the red one. The packaging was pretty no-frills, but I was excited to try them on! The G-String had the standard string sides with an adjustable pouch. Upon first inspection, the construction looked pretty good – almost as if it were meant to double as a swimsuit, which I am sure it could on account of the nylon/elastane blend. The label is a black/silver stag placed on the front of the pouch at the top, which I could do without as it cheapens the look. The sizing on this model was small/medium, and was displayed on a large tag attached at the top of the interior of the pouch.  This posed a problem for someone of my size, I am 6’1 and a size 30 waist, meaning smalls usually fit just right; this small/medium was definitely a little too large unless it was meant to be worn higher than standard low-rise underwear. Sometimes being skinny is a curse!

I decided to wear them out for dinner and out for drinks after with friends. I put the G-String on and inspected things in the mirror before setting out. The pouch is contoured, I assume to fit the natural anatomy of a man. This had it pro’s and con’s, most of which I didn’t really notice until I was out and about.   While it felt as if my ‘fella’s were allowed to swing so to speak, there was a lack of support and a little too much swing of the pouch while walking. This didn’t offer up a nice ‘display’ of ones assets and the pouch tended to change size seeing as it was not securely fastened to the waist string. The waist of the pouch tended to bunch after walking from the restaurant to the bar and required some adjusting throughout the night. While it was nice to not feel confined, the pouch offered a little too much space and swing.  The pouch was also a little uncomfortable as the night went on beneath my pants. While I wasn’t thrilled with the G-String, it was fun to play with the size of the pouch!

PROS

  • Good construction
  • Fun color

CONS

  • Adjustable pouch bunched
  • Strange contour
  • Itchy tags
  • Slightly too big in the waist
  • Back strap and pouch,

Review: Equmen Precision Underwear

No Comments

I have reviewed Equmen a few times for UNB. I think the first time I wore them was about two years ago. The one thing I really noticed was a difference in their shirt from other undershirts. The brand has stuck to their core (pun not intended) business and make a great product.

This is a review unlike most we do; it involved two different pairs from Equmen. I received the Precision Core Undershirt – Singlet and Precision Underwear – Boxer Brief. Those who have read the blog know I am not much of a boxer brief fan. So when I opened the package, I wasn’t too excited, I was hoping for a brief. But I”ll get to that in a sec.

I wore the pairs to work and hoped for the best. The first pair to review is the shirt. I have the regular t shirts from Equmen and hoped they lived up to my previous reviews. I put it on and realized I had it on backwards. For those of you who have put on what is called “shape wear”, you know getting it on is not an easy task. So I put it on the right way, and I will say the singlet fit really well. It makes you pay attention to your posture, meaning you notice you stand up very straight and tall. Which is a good thing. I really like them and how it fit. I wish I had 5 or more pairs so I could wear them to work.

Next up is the Boxer Briefs. I know I can hear many of you going, here it comes, and this won’t be a good review. However, these boxer briefs were pretty darn amazing. I am not one for one for boxer briefs that don’t have a pouch. These were, for a lack of better term, ordinary looking when I opened the package. So when I put them on I hoped they would last through out the day. Much to my surprise they really held their form and felt great. It is one of the few times that a boxer brief fit me like a brief.  This pair will be going in my drawer and go into regular rotation, rather then be banished to the second drawer. This reminds me of the saying, Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Another thing I must add is that you would think with the technology, you would be hot all day. This is not the case. It is the opposite. The two styles really breath with you though out the day.  There is nothing worse then underwear that doesn’t breath and you feel like you are melting in.

 

Pros:

  • The shirt really increases your posture
  • Boxer Briefs held their form all day
  • It doesn’t get you hot and breathes with you

Cons:

  • The shirt is hard to get on
  • Colors are limited to white, black, grey and blue

Review: Valentino’s G-Sting

No Comments

My name is Sean.  I live, play and work in the design industry in Boston. I have been wearing thongs for years! I originally fell in love with the thought of wearing something that was barely there, but then came to appreciate the functional design of such a garment. I wear thongs during my day-to-day life, especially in the summer and almost always at the gym. Thongs are perfect for the gym because they do not restrict any motion and there is very little bunching – as an avid yogi and runner, this is a MUST! I also wear thongs out on the town, not to show off, but to go unnoticed under light colored pants.

Today I am reviewing the NDS G-Sting from ABC Underwear. This particular G-String comes in a variety of colors—I just so happen to be wearing the red one. The packaging was fairly no-frills, but I was still excited to try them on! The G-String had the standard string sides with an adjustable pouch. Upon first inspection, the construction looked pretty good – almost as if it were meant to double as a swimsuit on account of the nylon/elastane blend. The label is a black/silver tag placed on the front of the pouch at the top, which I could do without as it cheapens the look. The sizing on this model was small/medium and was displayed on a large tag attached at the top of the interior of the pouch.  This posed a problem for someone of my size.  I am 6’1 with a size 30 waist, meaning smalls usually fit just right.  This small/medium was definitely too large unless it was meant to be worn higher than standard low-rise underwear. Sometimes being skinny is a curse!

I decided to wear them out for dinner and drinks with friends. I put the G-String on and inspected things in the mirror before setting out. The pouch is contoured, presumably to fit the natural anatomy of a man. This had it pros and cons—the cons not being noticeable until I was out and about.  While it felt as if my “fellas” were allowed to swing, so to speak, there was a lack of support and a little too much swing of the pouch while walking. This didn’t offer up a nice display of ones assets and the pouch tended to change size as it was not securely fastened to the waist string. The waist of the pouch tended to bunch after walking from the restaurant to the bar and required some adjusting throughout the night. While it was nice to not feel confined, the pouch offered a little too much space and swing and was a little uncomfortable as the night went on. While I wasn’t thrilled with the G-String, it was fun to play with the size of the pouch!

 

Likes:

  • Good construction,
  • fun color.

 

Dislikes:

  • Adjustable pouch bunched and had a strange contour, itchy tags, slightly too big in the waist, back strap and pouch,

Review: Lobbo Cotton G-string

No Comments

I was asked to review the Lobbo Cotton G-string from abcunderwear.com. I know many of you guys aren’t into thongs or g-strings, but I if you were ever tempted to try one out, then this would be the perfect g-string for a newbie.  It is a basic g-string. The pouch is large enough to hold everything in it without smooshing you. It is like a pair of boxer briefs on your junk with elastic string holding it in place. I found the pouch’s width to be great in proportion to my body. I wore it to the gym, lounged in it at home and even slept in it. I own several g-strings and did not think that this one was any better or any worse. The only thing I thought was lacking was the quality of the pouch’s fabric. I personally prefer cotton to be a softer than the material ABC used.

Are most of you going to wear this to the gym? Probably not. Will I wear it to the gym again? You bet! The price on abcunderwear.com is great if you really want to get one or if you are curious about trying underwear that is out of your normal comfort zone. Your girlfriend or boyfriend will love to see you in something sexy or skimpy. Mine does!

Pros-

  • Inexpensive
  • good starter g-string for newbies

Cons-

  • cotton cold be softer

Review: Big Banana Brief from ABC Underwear

No Comments

As I have said before, we receive a ton of underwear from ABC Underwear to review. My newest pair is the Big Banana brief. You may be asking “What exactly is a Big Banana brief?”

The Big Banana is a pair of white briefs with a banana on the front smiling, saying “big banana”!  I have to say that these are really fun (and this is coming from someone who’s not big into novelty undies).

I decided to be open-minded and give it a try. I wore them for a day of meetings thinking that this would give me a good feel about how they fit.  I really like how simple they are and I’ve always felt that there was something to be said for a simple pair of undies.  The fit was just ok to me. It wasn’t the best; I was hoping for a little more pouch room and hoping that it would move with me through out the day.

The undies are 100% cotton, so the stretch wasn’t very good, which made me a little disappointed, because these are perfect undies to show off for a fun date night!

Pros:

  • Fun front Banana
  • Very simple classic look

Cons

  • Fit was just “ok”
  • Wished for a better pouch

Review: Cocksox Carnivore Sports Brief

No Comments

I just reviewed the Cocksox Carnivore jockstrap and now I get to try the Carnivore sport brief.  A while back I tried the sports brief and had a problem with the tag where it caused minor irritation.  This time I hoped I wouldn’t have the same issue.

You will be glad to know there are no problems with the tag irritating.  The pair fit well for Cocksox.  As a warning though… normally I tell everyone to get a size down from what you normally wear, but I did and they were just a bit tight. I guess that gives me a reason to work out some more!

The underwear itself is very well made. They have the amazing pouch that Cocksox is known for, and really show off what you have! I find the animal print super hot. I don’t know what it is about the design, but it is just a lot of fun. I like that this pair has a waistband. It adds something to the line and gives a different feel.

The Cocksox sports briefs are super fun and perfect for the guy that wants to spice up his underwear drawer!
