Review – N2N Bodywear Spartan Brief (SU3)

No Comments

N2N Bodywear Spartan Brief (SU3) was furnished by N2N Bodywear for review. 

 

SpartanBrief1

RATING: 8.6/10

DAILY FIT: 9/10

SIZING: 10/10

CONSTRUCTION: 9/10

STYLING: 7/10

DAILY PERFORMANCE: 8/10

PROS:

-Strong basic wear.

-Good bulge

-Lifted pouch keeps everything organized down there.

CONS:

-Tag in back.

TtheAmazing’s Recommendation: A fun basic to add to your wardrobe, featuring a unique waistband than a standard solid color or regular brand logo.

I got the Spartan Brief from N2N a bit of time ago, so I’ve had the chance to wear the pair a couple times. I enjoy N2N for their understanding of pouches. It is always a good pouch experience. This is no exception. It’s a simpler pouch than some of the more extravagant N2N style. It still keeps the package hanging sexy and away from being smushed by thighs.

The pair is a good cotton blend, so you get a nice natural breathable brief hugging your booty. It features contrast binding around the leg holes, and on either side of the pouch. In the gray pair, the contrast binding is orange, in the mint pair, it’s yellow, and in the white pair, the contrast is red. The pouch itself is a one-piece pouch that features a dart below the anatomy to give shape.

What I think is cool about the pair is the unique waistband. Which features a greek art motif with the N2N name sneakily interspersed. I think it’s a nice small touch.  Because we’re all used to our waistbands being visible a lot. Why not make them a little more artistic than just having the brand name on it.

SpartanBrief3

I have never had a problem with N2N sizing, it comes in Small to Extra Large. To sum up, I am really happy with the pair, it’s a strong basic to add to your collection. As you saw above in my cons, my only true negative is the tag sticking out in the back and being irritating.

Review – Junk UnderJeans Junk X Boxer

No Comments

Junk UnderJeans Junk X TrunkJunk UnderJeans furnished the Junk X Boxer for Review

Rating: 8.6/10

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

Pros: Junk X Pouch, contemporary design, great material

Cons: Waistband rolled on me during wear

UNB Tim recommendation: These are great for the gym or work. They are made for a guy with a bit more junk in the front. However, the front won’t be too big for you. The trunks held their shape all day and gave me the perfect amount of support.

I continue my Junk UnderJeans reviews. The Junk X has a really good pouch. Junk X pouch is one that is a bit roomier. It, however, won’t be oversized. There are  a few pouches on the market unless you can fill them out they look like you are wearing a sock on your junk. The design of the pouch is very good. Hats off to Junk for creating this line!

The pair I’m reviewing is the Junk UnderJeans Junk X Trunk. As many long time readers know, I”m not the biggest fan of trunks or boxer briefs. Mainly because of the lack of support. I feel by the end of the day I’m in a pair of boxers. My hopes were high for this pair with the pouch.

I wore this on a weekend in a more relaxed time. There was no lifting or outdoors for this pair. Being a style that isn’t my favorite, I didn’t want to push my luck. They held up really well. The pouch lived up to my expectations. It kept everything in place and kept its form. It didn’t suffer one of my other pet peeves for boxer briefs/trunks. The legs held in place all day. I could have worn them to work.

 

The only down size is like the Junk X Jock I reviewed. The waistband rolled a bit on me. Like the jock, I really didn’t notice it was happening until I took them off. Usually when a band rolls or binds it gets uncomfortable. This one did not. I think it was because of the material of the waistband. Why does this happen? I think it’s the way I am built. I don’t think it’s something Junk UnderJeans is doing wrong. The briefs fit amazing. We have all had those pairs where they didn’t fit us in one area. I don’t hold this as a defect or flaw in them but more in me!

The sizing is really great for Junk UnderJeans. I have had no issues of pairs being too small or big. They have been spot on for all the pairs I have received. Just double check the size charts. Note that some pairs go up to 2 and 3 XL now. So it’s not just for small guys!

The design is a sporty design. You could definitely wear them to the gym. They are classic with a pop color. Perfect for work, the gym or hanging at home!

Review N2N Bodywear EC1 Eclipse Sport

No Comments

EC1 Eclipse Sport 3

Thank you to N2N for furnishing this pair for review.

RATING: 9/10

DAILY FIT: 9/10

SIZING: 10/10

CONSTRUCTION: 9/10

STYLING: 8/10

DAILY PERFORMANCE: 9/10

PROS:

  • Good butt coverage.
  • Sexy bulge.
  • Sleek design.

CONS:

  • Drawstring (see below)

TtheAmazing’s Recommendation: A great not skimpy cut suit for feeling sexy and swimming in, but make sure you are ok with showing a little bit of VPL.

I have been on the N2N bandwagon since I first had my great underwear awakening. In college, I would wait till things went on sale and then buy myself a range of items (a jock, a brief, a thong). Slowly figuring out what I was into, and what I thought looked good on me. Until recently, I had not really been a swimsuit person (I hadn’t really done much swimming in my life). In February, I figured out that I’d have this magical week of no work in July, so I decided to go on vacation. I found a gay resort in Florida. Realized I would definitely need to increase my swimwear collection from nothing to something. This started the Great Swimwear Shopping Spree of 2016. For the record, I ended up with 21 swimsuits, and I brought every single one with me. To be clear about how much I love N2N wear, out of the 21 swimsuits I wore on my vacation. 9 of them are N2N pairs (and all different). So, if you didn’t get it yet, I was really excited to be reviewing one of the new N2N swimsuits, the Eclipse Sport.

EC1 Eclipse Sport 4

This pair is a simple design, done very well. It features a full seat bikini cut, with a contrasting swipe going up the side of your bulge. It features a seamless front design. Whatever shapes you are working with down there will be shown proudly. Having said that, the sides of the pouch area are wide enough that it doesn’t give you the saran wrap look. It looks like you’re just wearing paint. I would call the bulge a semi-modest sexy bulge.

EC1 Eclipse Sport 2

Every pair I tried during my vacation got ample pool time. I walked around, got in the pool, swam a bit, got out of the pool, walked around, got back in the pool…etc. This pair is great, because although it is unlined, it looks good wet too. Some swimsuits lose a little bit of their appeal for me when they are super wet, but this pair held up. I prefer the feel of unlined swimsuits. Sometimes the lack of lining makes it a little less appropriate for some venues. I think this pair keeps it mostly classy. Even though you can definitely read a bit of the anatomy underneath, I wouldn’t say it is vulgar.

I got a Large, and it is a perfect fit. N2N has always been pretty great with their sizing. I never really know what to do with drawstrings. When I feel like without tightening the drawstring, the pair fits great. But maybe having a butt helps keep things secure.

To sum it up, I love this pair, here’s a pic of me wearing them on my vacation. If you wanna see all 21 swimsuits I wore, check my Instagram @HoopArtist

Review – N2N Bodywear Eclipse Brief

n2n Bodywear Daredevil (1)N2N Bodywear furnished the N2N Eclipse Swim Brief

Rating: 8.5/10

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 8/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Cute cut, mix of colors, sexy as you’d expect.

Cons: A bit tight, light weight fabric can be revealing (might also go in the Pro column, you decide).

Beau Briefs recommendation: If the color combos really speak to you then this is a good classic cut pair to get.

Good lord I love swim season! Trying on new pairs, finding new colors that you never would have worn before. Knowing when a cut is just right for you, and the list goes on. The Eclipse swim briefs are another great example of fine swim wear from N2N. I recently review the N2N Stellar Sport and the two share a lot of the same excellent qualities. One of the things that all N2N things share, and that I know is a very proud thing for their creator and founder. Is that they are all made in L.A., and I think deserves a shout out!

The cut of N2N’s swim briefs are top notch. The cut up the leg from the crotch is both alluring and yet still fully covering (for those who want to fully cover). The swoop of the cut is just so to nicely highlight the bulge while also giving just amount of highlight to those toned legs. I think we all wish we have (I should hit the gym today…). So needless to say, I am a big fan of the construction and cut of this pair. If you love a good, classic speedo I have a feeling you will love it too.

The color was at first worrisome to me. I must confess I have never really worn olive… and when I saw what other colors it came in I was seeing red. No literally, it comes in red, blue, and orange. However, as we all must sometimes admit, I was wrong. The olive is actually an extremely flattering color. Now given my complexion I am either one shade darker than Elmer’s Glue or I am pleasantly light gold. I found both of those work nicely with the olive. Other skin tones and colors play very well with olive as I went online to look up. So shame on me for assuming it drab because as the end rhyme would suggest it’s actually fab.

Now I did run into the two same ellipses inspiring issues that are not actually problems they are just…how things are. First, the sizing on the butt is an issue for me. My waist and all is not a Medium but my butt often is not a Small. Where is my Smedium?!?!? The pair is still completely wearable and actually brings the butt in tighter given the circumstances. The second…issue… is that when things are…distinct down in the package area it can sometimes be semi (hehehe) visible. Now, as I stated in the beginning, decide for yourself whether that goes in the Pros or Cons column.

Overall these are a fine, playful, and as it is N2N, naturally sexy pair of swim briefs. They are well made and the cut and construction is lovely. They are fun and flattering, from the color to the color contrasting swoop on the front. And they are sexy. So stun them all on the beach in blue, red, orange, or olive and you’ll have them all green with envy.

Review – Junk Underwear Raw Street Runner-Aqua

No Comments

RSH_PP_6 (854x1280)

Junk UnderJeans furnished the Raw Street Runner for review

Rating: 9.3/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9.5/10
  • Styling: 9.5/10
  • Daily Performance: 9.5

Pros: Bold colors, fun pattern, nice material, well built.

Cons: Legs are a little long in length.

UNB pleep recommendations: These are a fun pair of tights, work great at the gym

This was actually the second item I have ever worn from Junk UnderJeans. The first being the Stellar Jock, and these tights are just as well made as the jockstrap.

I have worn these at the gym several times, they hold up quite nicely while working out. The fabric they use is very soft as well as breathable. I don’t feel like I am being suffocated in a heat wave while wearing and working out. Which, some tights I have worn before by other companies prefer to use just spandex and not have sections of it with breathable fabric. This allows you can workout in them for long periods of time.

They have three color choices; Aqua, Green and Pink. I have the Aqua ones. Which as you can see means they are a mid-grey and a dark grey overall color but the accent color is Aqua. Which, I find to be quite nice and sexy.

The sizing to me is spot on for the waist and thighs, however, I found the legs to be a bit long. The Large is exactly what you expect a Large pair of tights to be in the waist and thighs. If you normally wear larges I recommend you snagging up that size. According to their website their sizing charts states that a Large for them is a 32-34″ Waist.

PAIR: Raw Street Runner

Review – Junk UnderJeans JunkX Jockstrap

Rating: 8.6/10

  • Daily Fit: 7/10
  • Sizing: 10/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros: Great Junk X Pouch, Cool design, fun colors available

Cons: Waistband rolled on me during wear

UNB Tim recommendation: I liked the design of the jock and the pouch made this a good jock. The pair did roll on me I’m not sure if it was the design or just an issue I had. It is a great jock I would recommend.

I have a whole series of Junk X to review. I have already posted the Junk X Brief review. I was looking forward to the jock. productview2-343The first is because of the pouch. The second reason is I really enjoyed the brief. One thing that has impressed me with Junk UnderJeans is the quality. They make very well made underwear.

The design of the jock is a bit different than I am used too. It has the straps attached right above the pouch. Rather than on the side, like other jocks. When I slid on the pair on it took me a minute to get it situated. After it was in place, I liked the fit. The pouch of the Junk X line is a really good pouch. It’s a bit bigger than the traditional pouches Junk UnderJeans makes. It fit pretty well through out the day.

I wore this pair to work one day. I felt that a job where I had to be on the go would be perfect for a jock. I wore it and it held up pretty well. I haven’t worn many jocks to my job. After wearing this one it’s making me double think that decision. The only thing that happened with the jock was the waistband kept rolling. Pleep didn’t have this problem with his jock from Junk UnderJeans. I don’t know if its the way I am built or what was going on. I didn’t notice it till later in the day. It wasn’t uncomfortable, sometimes when waistbands roll they get twisted and uncomfortable. This didn’t bother me at all.

The sizing with Junk UnderJeans is pretty spot on. They have standard sizes. The X-Large I received fit pretty well. I don’t think you will have many sizing issues on Junk UnderJeans. Just follow the sizing guide and you should have no issues.

Review – N2N Bodywear B65 Daredevil Review

Pros:

  • Affordable
  • Seamless anatomical pouch
  • Ample side string

Cons:

  • Material easily scuffs
  • Not for every occasion

Ratings:

Overall – 8.8/10

  • Fit –9/10

  • Performance – 8/10

Undies Rock Recommendations: The B65 Daredevil is a risqué cut pair of swimmers. That is a total hit for more intimate occasions. So if you are in in search for the perfect string bikini. Then post up and add these swimmers to your shopping list, now!

Undiesrock rock here coming at you with another N2N review for a saucier pair of swimmers. The (B65) Daredevil; the name captures it all.  This daring pair isn’t remotely for the conservative of heart. Let me tell you if you are looking for some straight up sexy swimmers then look no further.

For those of you who have been following N2N for years. You know that the daredevil cut has existed for quite some time.  It’s essentially N2N’s version of a string bikini swimmer.  I know I have been praising this generations of N2N’s gear quality to the max with my previous reviews. This pair is the top of the mountain. I personally purchased the last three generations of the daredevil cut. This latest release is exactly what I have always wanted for a string bikini briefs!  They nailed everything from the seamless, roomy, comfy pouch to the sufficient amount of string bikini for the sides. To the secure fit (tight but not to the point where the side strings dig into your hips). One of my biggest pet peeves with string bikinis is that there isn’t ever enough string on the hips. Typically for string bikinis the photo(s) of the model wearing the product differs drastically from what you get in real life. Usually you only get an inch or so of “string”. Long story short, the Daredevil has serious string bikini game.

I received my Daredevil in the color Ice Blue in size medium. I have mentioned before, the construction of this pair is rock solid.  The 83% nylon and 17% spandex material provides the right amount of give and support. It has sort of a metallic look to it.  N2N’s pouches are always impeccable and this string bikini is no exception.  It has a sufficient amount of room and has an anatomical vibe. Which I found to have more of a narrow fit, but who cares, because this bikini has a seamless front! Which is all that matters ;-).  The entire bikini is unlined. Which I really dig, though it can be a transparent when wet. So just be cautious if you don’t want your junk all the way out there.  Though this feature was a huge hit with my s/o.

I have a 33” waist, and I reviewed a medium which is sized for a 30”-34” waist. The fit definitely hit the spot in all the right places.  In previous versions I have owned. I found that the butt was a little too high rise and just in general had an awkward loose fit in the pouch.  This pair resolved all of those issues.  The pair I own is in Ice Blue. It has a contrasting black trim and muted metallic sheen, which I find to be a nice aesthetic touch.  You can also get this pair in White and Goldenrod, which also have the black trim.  If you’re into prints. Then you’re in luck because N2N offers the B70 Daredevil Prints which have a tropical/Hawaiian flower vibe. That come in Havana Red and Malibu Blue.

The only downside to this pair is minor scuffing on the material after just one wash.  I simply wore the pair to the beach under my shorts (these seriously double as underwear perfectly). After I machined washed on light and hung them out to air-dry. I found that there were little scuffs markings. Which I washed with other swimmers that were come out perfectly fine.  It’s only noticeable when the pair is right in your face, so it doesn’t look tacky.  I recommend hand washing them only since they are delicate.

Right now these are going for $26 directly on the N2N website. Which really isn’t a bad price, considering that a good pair can cost you upwards of $100 these days.  Also please keep in mind that if you’re into prints the B70 Daredevil Prints are $28.  The B65 Daredevil is a risqué cut pair of swimmers that is a total hit for more intimate occasions. So if you are in in search for the perfect string bikini. then post up and add these swimmers to your shopping list, now!

  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Great for summer wear, soft fabric and Xtreme pouch

Cons: Some may not like the loose fit, Not the N-hance pouch

UNB Tim recommendation: This line was made for summer. The amazing fabric and fit are some of the most breathable ever created. The breathability reminded me of the Air line. If you like a looser breathable fit this is for you!

We have had a ton of reviews from N2N Bodywear. We are so thankful they have graced us with so many pairs. It’s something from, I think, every collection, they released. One of the new lines is the Indy Racer. It’s available in brief and trunk. I call them more of a bikini and brief. Their trunks are cut more like a brief, well thats my opinion.

When I first saw the Indy Racer line it reminded me of swimwear. I’m not sure if its the cut or stripe that made me think this. Maybe it was the simplicity of the pair. Unlike swimwear the Indy Racer is a line made out of cotton. The exact fabric is 90% cotton / 10% spandex. It’s a looser cut than other pairs in the collection. Where as the Fresh Line was pretty tight, this allowed your to hang more freely.

The pouch in this one is the Xtremen pouch. My favorite is the N-hance pouch from N2N Bodywear. Like I said above, the pouch is a bit looser. Not too loose that things will get out of control. If you’re a fan of something with more support this pair may not be for you. I was surprised how well I liked it for the day.

I wore this pair out in the southern heat. It was the perfect pair to wear. The light fabric and fit made it very breathable. I was really pleasantly surprised. With the hot summers we have had all over, picking the right underwear is an important daily decision. If I was in an office job I think it would have been great but having to drive around and go out in the heat and humidity was the perfect pair.

Sizing for N2N is pretty spot on. I have never had an issue with them. Being an XL I have even work a few of the Larges I have and they still fit great. They stick to the standard US sizing model. I have never heard any issues with guys buying N2N Bodywear.

I really liked this pair and was glad I got a chance to try it out. Over the summer it will be in heavy rotation this summer. I thank N2N for creating the perfect summer pair.

Review – N2N Bodywear UN4 Stone Wash Cotton Brief

Rating: Overall – 9.6

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

PROS

  • Great fabric
  • Sexy but practical/comfortable

CONS

  • Pouch elastic/piping may be a bit tight for some guys
  • Limited colors

Dustin’s Recommendation: The Stone Wash Brief will definitely be in my regular rotation as it held up very well throughout the day with very little adjustments or fuss

For this round I’m reviewing the N2N Stone Wash Classic Cotton Brief.  I love N2N and am a brief guy so I had little doubt these would be great.  The Stone Wash line is only available in blue but is available in every style there is – boxer, brief, bikini, g-string, jock and trunk.  There is a neon version which seems similar although it’s placed in it’s own category.  I was happy with the blue as well as the broken in feel of the fabric.  It’s as if they’ve been washed many times over and are already your favorite, well worn pair.

These were worn on a hot, summer day to work where I was planning on being more active than normal.  The material is 80% cotton and 20% spandex. They definitely hold their shape. But aren’t your typical “wicking” material that I associate with underwear for working out.  I would, however, say these would hold up at the gym, work or lounging around at home.

I wore a medium which fit my 31-32 waist perfectly.  The size chart says 30-34 (American) and that feels like an accurate guide for buying.  No need to go up or down a size as the material does have plenty of stretch.

When I first pulled these briefs on. I immediately loved the soft fabric and once my package was adjusted into the pouch. Things felt great.  The pouch is clearly defined by an elastic piping that goes down the sides and underneath which makes it very clear that everything goes up front and on a bit of display without being obnoxious.  The material creates an ergonomic pouch so you’re able to receive support while still hanging in a natural way.  I will say that while some structure is great.  I might like the piping to be a little more flexible so I didn’t feel the band behind my balls.  It wasn’t difficult to get used to but you were aware that it was there.

This brief only solidifies by love for N2N as I have yet to have a pair that I wouldn’t wear regularly.  The Stone Wash Brief will definitely be in my regular rotation as it held up very well throughout the day with very little adjustments or fuss.  I like sexy undies as much as the next underwear fanatic but I definitely value comfort and these deliver!  Next up might be the bikini or G…

REVIEW: N2N Bodywear Tempest Solid Swim Brief

2 Comments

tempst ReviewN2N Bodywear furnished the Tempest Sport Swim Brief for review.

Rating: 9/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Unlined, Semi-Natural Pouch Hang

Cons: Unlined

SALVATORE Recommendation: Here I am living in Tropical Paradise where most men wear long board shorts or trunks. Granted, shorter swimsuits are in, but I think guys are missing a great opportunity to look great in a swim brief. As you all know, here at UNB, we have put a lot of emphasis on swim briefs. From our swim guides to a series of posts about skimping down this Summer on the beach. We think swim briefs are an awesome alternative to the super long shorts. That take forever to dry when you get out of the water and inhibit greatly one’s ability to move in the water.

Honestly, the most natural way to swim is naked.  But that is currently outlawed in most areas of the good ole US of A. With that said, we also recognize that many men are very uncomfortable bearing all in a swim brief on a beach that mainly covered in board shorts. Coming to Hawaii has been a great experience. I am constantly puzzled by what I see guys and gals wearing on the sands of Waikiki and other hot spots. The men are shorts wearers and ironically, the ladies seem to prefer the Brazilian cut and thong back. Who would have thought???? Let’s stay away from those topics for now and look at a great swim brief that I’d recommend to the guy looking to see if he likes the idea. But might not be ready to strip down.

Let me recommend the N2N Tempest Sport Brief. As something that you can wear underneath your shorts with the idea to strip down, or something that you can wear by itself. This is a great brief for either occasion. Here are few things that I liked about the design.

Pouch: Because N2N does a brilliant job with fabric selection in all of it’s products. Most of their underwear, swimwear, and loungewear meet my definition of a natural pouch. This swim brief did exactly that. With 92% being Polyester and 8% being Spandex. The fabric blend allows for your sacred spaced to have plenty of space. One of things I hate about traditional swim briefs is the bulky lining that seems to bunch up the boys. This swim brief is unlined leaving you with a true underwear intimate feel. I see this as a definite positive in most situations. I also see this as a negative for the circumcised male as the impression is quite impressionable and might not be appropriate for every occasion. You will have to decide. On my honeymoon many moons ago. I remember seeing a very sexy and extremely tanned European man wearing an opaque white skimpy bikini that was unlined at the pool. He was proud and so were all of the women staring at him. I don’t have the body he had and am not sure my wife would appreciate all of the of the attention focused on my junk.

Drawstring: Not every bikini has a drawstring. This brief does. This allows you to freely maneuver in the water without worry that you’ll lose your drawers. However, because the brief is unlined. The impression of the drawstring is visible from time to time making for an odd look on the pouch. Side note—be careful to groom your pubic hair if you are going to wear an unlined swim bikini. A bush impression on the crotch is as bad a drawstring impression on a crotch.

Cut: The cut of the brief is a hybrid between a true bikini and a traditional competitive swimmers suit. This allows you to get an awesome tan without feeling like you are wearing a string bikini. The hybrid cut also maintains a full seat so you don’t feel like you have a wedgie all day. The cut is spectacular and sexy. The seat stays in place and leg bands are very comfortable. N2N nailed this aspect of the brief.

Logo: The very small N2N logo displayed on the rear of the right hip is the perfect size. Not over the top like some of the brands that plaster the logo across the entire butt (N2N does this occasionally). But just right to let the other underwear enthusiasts know that you have style. The branding on this swim brief is subtle and perfect—a special coded simple that speaks to the heart of underwear collector.

Overall, I think this is a stunning visual representation of classy and sexy. The two colors are great—bold enough to turn heads, but not so bold to get gawkers! As always, I love that N2N now offers this brief in multiple prints. I enjoy wearing mine under trunks or out in the open. Get yours and give this well thought out brief a shot at the beach, the pool, or just tanning on the roof.

Junk Underwear Stellar Jock – Yellow Furnished this pair for review

Rating: 9.5/10

  • Daily Fit: 9.5/10
  • Sizing: 9.5/10
  • Construction: 9.5/10
  • Styling: 9.5/10
  • Daily Performance: 9.5

Pros: Bold colors, fun pattern, nice material, well built.

Cons: No overwhelming cons.

UNB pleep recommendations: If you are needing a new jockstrap then I highly recommend this!

This is actually the first item I had ever worn from this company and I greatly enjoy their styling and fabric that they use.

I have worn these pretty much everywhere by now, I very much so enjoy them, and they definitely hold up to a full day of wear and tear. Whether you are sitting around all day, or running errands, or actually running, the bands stay where they are suppose to and the pouch keeps you where you need to be.

They have quite a few color choices for the Stellar Jock; Hot Red, Tangerine, Yellow, Green, Royal, & Black; I happened to go with the yellow one. The Stellar Jock, the pouch and band match in color, and on the pouch are small grey and yellow lines, to give a nice and fun contrast to the pouch.

The sizing to me is spot on; the Large is exactly what you expect a Large jockstrap to be, so if you normally wear larges I recommend you snagging up that size. According to their website their sizing charts states that a Large for them is a 32-34″ Waist.

Review – N2N Bodywear Fresh Brief

No Comments

Copy of UNDerwear reviewN2N Bodywear furnished the Fresh Brief for Review

Rating: 9.2/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 0

Pros: great material, n-hance pouch, great fit.
Cons: Wish they had brighter colors .

UNB Tim recommendation: The Fresh brief is the closest you will get to a “basic” collection from N2N Bodywear. It fits great and is perfect for any active day. Or maybe just a lazy day at home. The N-hance pouch should solve any pouch issues you will have. It’s two thumbs up.

The Pair

I am a big fan of N2N Bodywear. I don’t think that is any secret. Over the course of UNB I have tried I think just about every pair they make. The Fresh Line was released in 2015. I didn’t get a pair from that collection, but did manage to get one this time! I was happy because this is something more of a classic style. The Fresh Brief is, in my opinion, the closest we have to a basics line from N2N.

The pair is made out of 90% cotton / 10% spandex blend. It fits really great. Plus its super comfortable through out the day. One of the features that I love best is it has the N-hance pouch. The N-hance pouch is their own pouch designed. It is a contoured pouch that should fit you pretty darn well.

The Fresh Briefs comes in three colors. They are White, Fresh Dreamy Blue and Fresh Mellon Green. The waistband is simple with the N2N Logo in the front. Around the back it has Made in Los Angeles. Each band matches the color with a white stripe in the middle. Except the white which is grey.

Review Conditions

I wore these to my part time job. Which is a lot of moving and being active. Plus it was super hot in Atlanta. We have had 90+ degrees and 70-80% humidity. Which makes wearing the wrong pair of underwear, a miserable experience. This pair didn’t add to my heat discomfort. The fabric and cut allowed it to breathe and felt great throughout the day. If it could survive this day of being outside and active. It could definitely be a great pair for the gym.

The N-hance pouch was perfect to wear. It gave me a lot of support through out the day. My biggest pet peeves is that a pair looses shape or pouch support through out the day. The Fresh Brief really held up great. All the pairs that have had the N-hance pouch have been really great. It’s a well designed pouch, that should fit most guys comfortably.

The Sizing

Sizing from N2N is pretty solid. They have standard US sizes. Which means a medium is 32 and it’s based around that sizing. I received an XL that fit pretty well. In all the pairs I have had from N2N have been consistent with sizing. You really shouldn’t have any issues with sizing.

Issues with the pair

There were no issues with this pair. I was very happy with the fit and feel. The only thing that I would love is if it came in brighter colors. I am a fan of bold colors in underwear. But, that’s a minor personal preference. The color I received was the blue. They did a great job with this pair!

Review – N2N Bodywear Lounge Robe

No Comments

UNDerwear review (1)N2N Bodywear furnished the L13 Lounge Robe

Rating: 10/10

  • Daily Fit: 10/10
  • Sizing: 10/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 10/10

Pros: A world class comfy robe that leaves a sexy impression.

Cons: I’ll let you know if I ever find one.

Beau Briefs recommendation: You should probably buy this now before I buy out the rest.

I loved this robe at first site and I mean the first time I saw the new N2N line online, just in a quick, simple photo. I just knew. And like that, my new love affair was born and raised. So when I received a robe to review first I was a bit surprised. Because we are an underwear mainly focused blog but second I was ecstatic. At the time I got it I may have already had one waiting for me in my online shopping cart… LOVE.

So let’s talk robing…the art of robes…robust robe love…let’s talk about this robe.

It is so lightweight and comfortable. Seriously, pick it up and be amazed at how light it really is. Now, that’s not to say it isn’t going to keep you a little bit warm (the parts that it covers at least) because it will. The main thing to remember really is that this robe is an orgasm for the eyes. It is simple. It is sexy. It is sinful.

The cut is short so that you can show off whatever sexy underwear you’ve decided to wear for the evening. With your accompanying glass of wine of course. It ties close in the front but you can make that as tight or as loose as you wish. I personally have enjoyed it slightly flowy. Like it would billow a bit in the breeze of an outdoor patio while you watched the sunset as your partner held you tight… Get the picture?

The best part of it all is just how it will make you feel. Honestly, whatever your body type or what you think about your body, this robe is super lovely. Normally when it comes to my mid-section I am a big critic because we all have that thought of “it could be better” but I felt so good in this robe. I felt so sexy. I felt so seductive. I felt so secure. Pieces that make you feel like that are the ones we all need to stock up on.

I normally don’t want to over gush about a product. I want to be a bit more critical in some aspect to make sure things are more balanced to make sure that when there is an issue it gets called out. However, for me, this robe is 10s across the board.

Review: N2N Bodywear Studio Groove Trunk

UNDerwear review

N2N Bodywear furnished the Studio Groove Trunk for review.

Rating: 8.8/10

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

Pros: AMAZING Print, Slinky Fabric, Sexy cut.

Cons: No overwhelming cons.

SALVATORE Recommendation: Summer is in full swing! And, I LIVE ON A TROPICAL ISLAND. That’s what makes this incredible print so appealing to me. I look super tropical (at least in the mirror), and the appeal of such happens to be the style of the season. N2N continues to impress me with their unbelievable trend setting styles. This design is amazing. The end of this post is simple: PURCHASE NOW!

N2N sent me the blue color. I must admit that the print looked amazing in the upclose. When I tore the package open and got a feel for the fabric, the print quickly became a bonus. The fabric blend is amazing to the touch and feels even better up next to the unmentionables. The slinky feel is slightly opaque and very breathable. Simply super desirable for the underwear enthusiast.

Two other features about this brief stood out to me—the waistband and the leg bands. Although the leg bands are little larger than I prefer. They are extremely soft and comfortable. The trunk is more of a hybrid between a trunk and a brief. The inseam length is super short, but slightly longer than a typical brief. This combined with the thicker than normal (for a brief) leg bands create quite the underwear line in slacks. If you don’t care about that—well, it doesn’t matter then now does it? I don’t want to diminish how comfortable the leg band is—EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. The waistband is smaller than what the industry has produced in the past few years. I think we are seeing a return to normal—as opposed to the “let’s see how big we can get our waistband to be so everyone knows what brand we’re wearing because the waistband is sticking out of our pants” era.

True to form, the design team at N2N combined the NHance pouch with the fabric to create a very natural hang. This is important to me. I definitely classify this trunk in the top 10 natural pouches list. Go buy it now!

Junk Underwear Flash Knee Length – Green, furnished by Junk UnderJeans

Rating: 9.1/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 8.5/10
  • Construction: 9.5/10
  • Styling: 9.5/10
  • Daily Performance: 9

Pros: Bold colors, fun pattern, nice material, well built.

Cons: not as form fitting as their street runners.

UNB pleep recommendations: They are an interesting pair of knee length tights.

This is the third and final item I had received from this company.

I have worn these at the gym several times, they hold up nicely while working out. The fabric they use is very soft as well as breathable. the back is a slight mesh material. If you happen to have a tattoo on your leg or butt. I recommend not wearing it at the gym, or at least trying them on first at home to see if it is visible. I did enjoy wearing them at the gym. Just wish the legs were a little more form fitting. I found this pair to fit not the same way in the thighs as their street runners.

They have a few color choices; Aqua, Green, Yellow, Orange and Pink. I have the Green ones. Which as you can see means they have the pouch, writing on the band and a side panel in green. While the rest of it is in different shades of grey.

The sizing to me is spot on for the waist. However, I found the thighs to be not as snug as I would be expecting. Having just worn their street runners previously. I wish instead of the Large, I would have been able to try on their medium to see if that would have fit better in the thighs. But the waist seemed to have ample amount of room. According to their website their sizing charts states that a Large for them is a 34-36″ Waist.

Review – N2N Bodywear CS7 Cotton Sport Runner

No Comments

CS7-16-2N2N Bodywear Furnished the Cotton Sport Runner for review.

Ratings:

  • Overall – 9.2
  • Fit –10
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Performance – 9

Pros:

  • Incredibly comfortable material/fit
  • Amazing front/pouch
  • Great style

Cons:

  • A little short for tall dudes
  • Pricy

Undies Rock Recommendation: The combination of material that is breathable, light and Stretchy. A style that is flattering for all shapes and sizes are the key components for comfortable pants. N2N hit it out of the ball park with this pair.

Undies Rock here, about to drop knowledge on one of my personal favorite pieces from N2N!  Behold, the perfect “I’m working from home” bottoms – the CS7 N2N Cotton Sport Runner pant. As many of you know. I am a huge fan of the N2N brand.  It’s no surprise that their active/loungewear is as amazing as their underwear and swimwear. Gentlemen, if your ultimate goal is to work at home in class and comfort, than these pants are your fix!

First off, this pant is pretty much the men’s version of a legging.  I know this might be a little taboo. All I have to say to those “real/tough/whatever men” out there, don’t knock it till you try it. If you don’t think these are the most comfortable pants you could try on, then you need get real.  Trust me, for all of those “manly” guys out there who are too scared to wear form fitting, legging type pants. Then you are straight up missing out on: 1) absolute comfort, and 2) the ultimate display of your manhood. So go ahead and continue wearing those slopping, unflattering, excessive basketball shorts. But don’t come running to me asking where I got these sweet-ass man leggings because guess what?…I told you so!  Alright I said my peace, and enough with the rant and on to good stuff!

As I previously stated. The Cotton Sport Runner is essentially the men’s version of the legging. It’s a tight fitting, low rise, sporty, knit pant that hits lower to mid-calf (I’m a taller dude at 6′-5″ and it sits mid-calf on me).  I can’t emphasize the tight fit enough. These are supposed to conform to your body, and they totally will.  And as a disclaimer, if you are afraid of undie lines and plan to wear these out. Then you might want to pair this pant with a thong or g. This pant is incredibly low rise, so if you’re a brief guy then maybe a sport bikini might be a good option.

I have the heather grey color option in size Medium. I am roughly between a 33”-34″ waist and I’d say it fits true to size since the medium is rated for a 32”-34.”   The material is relatively thin. The 94% cotton and 6% spandex material allows generous amounts of movement while retaining the right amount of support for all dudes of different sizes. One of my favorite features is the flat, seamless front; HUGE plus in my book.  This flat front design naturally conforms to your package with just the right amount of support. Without being overbearingly tight. The construction of the whole pant is quality. I have machine washed and dried these pants at least three times and I have to say that this pant is resilient. The material is still elastic and the color has remained true.  I have been a huge fan of N2N for quite some time. One of my biggest pet peeves with the brand is the quality control on sizing/cut.  I will say that all of the pieces I have from this current collection are spot on with the sizing and fit. So I would like to applaud N2N for stepping up their game.  This generation of runner is currently offered in a hunter green, royal blue, and heather grey.  I have the heather grey. Which is a little transparent, but honestly I kind of dig it, and so does my girl 😉 The other color options are darker so I’d bet they are less revealing.

Right now you can catch this awesome runner directly on the N2N website for $46 large.  I know this is a little of an investment, but entirely worth it if you aspire to bask in total comfort.  I am huge fan and collector of runners. This is definitely my go to pair for those days when you are hanging around at home.  The combination of material that is breathable, light and Stretchy. A style that is flattering for all shapes and sizes are the key components for comfortable pants. N2N hit it out of the ball park with this pair.  Thanks for answering my prayers, N2N!

Review – N2N Bodywear TT2 TriTech Runner

No Comments

RSH_PP_14 (960x1280)

The N2N  Bodywear TT2 TriTech Runner was furnished by N2N Bodywear

Rating: 8.6/10

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

Pros: Fun, bold design, great durability.

Cons: Awkward pouch in crotch.

pleep recommendations: If you are a fan of compression shorts at the gym or wearing them just out and about.  these would be good to look at. The color choices are Navy, Hunter and Black.

This pair was the first time I had worn shorts from N2N. I have worn their tights, jockstrap, thongs, singlets before (and the shirt that had been in the previous review) but never shorts. Consequently, I didn’t know what to expect from them.  The fabric, like all N2N items felt amazing and was super soft. The cut of course was very sexy, but with how these are cut.  They may not be the most practical at a gym if you either have a large booty or package or go to a conservative gym.

I wore these shorts around the condo as well as to the gym. I had first worn them around the condo and had loved how they felt while wearing them.  They do not ride up if you do a lunge or a squat. I then wore them at the gym. Which is when I had gotten a lot of heads to turn, for two reasons. The pouch in the front has your package very much so on display, and the back is designed to show off your… assets.

The size I received from them was a L and it fit perfectly everywhere. They are def cut to the standard American size L, so if you normally wear a L then go on and buy a L for this one too.

Review: N2N Bodywear Stone Wash Classic Cotton G

1 Comment

UN2-16-3The Stone Wash Classic Cotton G was furnished by N2N Bodywear.

Rating: 8.2/10

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

Pros: Interesting color, good looking thong.

Cons: A little worried about the wrong tag.

Underweardude recommendation: If you like to wear thongs on a day to day basis, or even if you don’t. This would make a fine addition to your underwear drawer.

Today I will be reviewing another new pair that I received for review by N2N.  A cousin of the Neon G from a few days ago. You might say, the Stone Wash Classic Cotton G. Like the Neon pair. What makes this pair different from the core Classic Cotton line is the color. On its website N2N says it is “Pigment dyed for a vintage look”, and that definitely  rings true. Sure, at first glance it does just sort of look like a plain old blue, but not quite. The shade feels basic, yet also deep and complex. It’s hard to describe. To me, it also makes the fabric look a bit worn in already, in a sense.  But in a good UN2-16-7way, like wearing a significant others shirt or such. Like you’ve owned it for years right out of the box. That may not be an ideal look for everyone, but I think it brings a sense of charm to the pair. As long time readers might know, blue is one of my favorite colors, so of course I jumped at a chance to try this pair. Like the Neon line, the size/care tags are dyed nearly the exact same color as the pair. I’m really enjoying this trend. If you aren’t getting rid of or are unable to get rid of care/size tags, you might as well have some fun with them. Would love to see other designers who haven’t already gone to printing that information on the pair directly  pick up this idea. Size wise the pair was pretty much fine, as usual for me, since I practically straddle the S/M divide.

There was one odd thing with the pair. The tag stated that the pair was not cotton, but polyester. I was profoundly confused. A quick check of  N2N’s website states that. Obviously, the line is made out of cotton.  The pair feels nearly identical to the other cotton N2N pairs that I own. Though I do not consider myself an expert on this by any means. I chalk it up to simple manufacturing mistake. I’ve been wearing N2N for about a decade now, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this. Not a big worry to me.

Though I normally don’t participate in the trend of Thong Thursday, I wanted to give this pair a real good test. I wore it for a  long walk and to work. I only really noticed it once at work, and it quickly went back to normal. The pair didn’t get annoying or needed any adjustment. Despite the near constant movement required at my job.  Like its brightly colored cousin I reviewed recently. I would certainly recommend this pair for a thong lover wanting to get an N2N cotton pair with just a bit more color to it tun usual. A good middle ground between the more subdued colors offered by the main line, and the loud colors available in Neon.

Review: N2N Bodywear Neon Cotton Classic G

No Comments

NC10-16-3

The Neon Cotton Classic G is Furnished by N2N Bodywear

Rating: 8.5/10

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 8.5/10

Pros: Great color, good look.
Cons: No overwhelming cons.
Underweardude Recommendation: If you like brightly colored thongs. This pair is for you.

When I first got a look at N2N’s new lines for 2016, I was surprised. Not only did they have a bunch of new lines. They decided to turn one line into several by branching out the Classic Cotton line. Adding two other varieties to it. Today I will be talking about the Classic Cotton Neon line. Specifically the Neon G. The Neon line is a new variety from the venerable classic cotton line by N2N. Much about the pair is the same as older versions of the line, except for one major difference: the color. While previously available only on more traditional tones. This line comes in bright and loud neon varieties of pink and yellow.

N2N provided the pair for review, and from the moment I took it out of the packaging I couldn’t wait to try it on.  The color is just great. While I usually stay away from pairs in these sort of shades, I love the look of the yellow pair I received. The yellow hue that was chosen is strong, not pale, and in some angles and types of light it almost looks neon green to me. The color of the pair just pops while you wear it, and is a great idea to shake up the line. A nice small touch is that the size/care tag is dyed the same color as the pair. Which N2N seems to be doing a lot these days but I quite like the attention to detail. The sizing was fine for me. Perhaps a tiny bit tight but i’m on the larger side of size small and after wearing it for awhile it went away.

Besides the color change, this is the N2N Classic Cotton thong you know and love. Great pouch, good low rise fit, skimpy, but still covers more than you’d think. I think the bright color helps show off the cut. I like how I look in this pair a fair bit more than the dark grey pair I already own.  I wore this pair on the weekend,and it performed admirably. Whether it was out and about running errands, household chores, a long walk, or a night out with friends. This thong pretty much didn’t bother me at all. I also honestly couldn’t stop checking out how it looks in the mirror. That color is simply fantastic!

If you want a great everyday thong with a pop of color, look no farther. If you already own a Classic Cotton thong, think of it as a car you love, but now with an awesome new paint job. Simply put, this takes an already good daily wearable thong, which not too many are, and adds a great look to it. I really wish they had one in neon green too. I like it that N2N is not only coming out with new lines. But expanding their core products with additional variety, which I think is a great idea. As for what the other new variety of Classic Cotton is, well, you’ll just have to wait for my next post to find out.

Junk UnderJeans furnished this pair for review

Rating: 9.6/10

  • Daily Fit: 10/10
  • Sizing: 10/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Fun, bold color, good/compact sizing, great durability.

Cons: No overwhelming cons.

UNB Tim recommendation: A great pair if you’re looking for a big more room up front! Super comfy and feels great throughout the day.

Junk Underjeans is a brand we have been friends with for a while. They are always at Magic in Vegas. They are a brand we need to cover more. The last time we reviewed them was a few years ago. They have grown and evolved over the last few years. I am loving what they are doing. We have underwear and activewear reviews coming your way soon.

The pair I am reviewing is the Junk X Burn Brief. This is the first time I have worn Junk UnderJeans. I was really excited to try the Junk X line because the line has a larger pouch. Its not a super large pouch but it’s definitely larger than the average. I slid them on and I didn’t have that magic moment when you slide on underwear that you felt was made just for you. It felt like a good pair of briefs. The pouch seemed just ok to me.

productview2-341It wouldn’t be till later that I would appreciate the pouch. The fit in these were very good. You can tell they designed these for guys to wear on a daily basis. As the day went on I totally forgot what I was wearing. To some this maybe a bad thing but not for me. If I wear a pair of underwear and forget I have them on it’s the sign of a great pair.

I wore these on a day when I knew I would be a bit active. I worked my part time job, that is a bit more active than my usual day. They held up really well with the lifting and driving I had to do that day. You definitely can wear these for a lazy day or an active day. I would dare say that these to the gym for great support.

The sizing of Junk UnderJeans is pretty spot on. In fact in certain lines they are making an XXL. These are just up to an XL. Which by happens to be the size I got. I’m still working my way back down to a large. It fit pretty well. It wasn’t too tight or too loose. The sizing across the board on Junk UnderJeans are pretty consistent. You should have no issues with them in sizing.

Some things I really liked about this pair is first the fabric. it’s a 90% POLYESTER/10%SPANDEX blend. I really loved the 10% spandex most. It gives it some great stretch. Next, is waistband. This isn’t a totally branded waistband but has the Junk X line name across the band. As for things I don’t like, there aren’t a lot. I was super happy with the pair. I would say that they could make the pouch a big bitter, but as it is snug but not too snug.

Back in the saddle and this time I’m reviewing the N2N Spartan Jock.  N2N is one of favorite brands so I wasn’t expecting anything less than another A+ pair of undies.  The Spartan line runs the gamut from thong and jocks to briefs and trunks.  I received grey/orange but they are also available in mint green/yellow and white with red & navy accents.  When I first opened the package I immediately loved the color combination and the fun, Greek-inspired waistband.  I’m a pretty simple guy but a little flair here and there is a nice touch.  The fabric is 95% cotton and 5% spandex so it’s very soft and has a good amount of stretch.  I did expect this to be a “fun” jock rather than an actual gym jock mainly because the leg straps are quite thick and closer to an assess briefs, which in my experience is not very practical for exercise.

I kept thinking of a day to wear these and was putting it off and then realized I needed to get this review in ASAP so I ended up wearing them all day at work.  Certainly not my plan but there is something fun about being “forced” to wear something…but that’s for a different blog, I suppose.  These actually held up a lot better than I would think for a work day and I actually think they’re better suited for regular wear than active wear.

I wore a medium and they fit well.  The size chart says it covers 30”-34” which is a pretty big range.  I’m generally a 31-32 and was fine but I think if you’re a 34, they might be a bit snug.

My favorite features of the Spartan Jock are definitely the nice fabric and the fun waistband.  I loved the color I received but the others look great, as well, and I definitely want to try the thong and brief.  N2N is great about having simple, modern designs but also offering things with a twist when you want to step out a little – or a lot.  I could have used a bit more stretch in the leg area but I’ve got tree trunk legs so a good portion of that issue is just me.  The “straps” are also pretty thick and did gather every so often but it wasn’t really a problem.  The pouch is supportive and shows things off the right amount for me.

I must admit that jocks and assess briefs are never my go-to underwear and yet I have several of both.  When comparing these to the others, they definitely rank in the top 3 or 4 – not just in the style department but they were actually more comfortable that I was expecting and ended up being a nice surprise.   I also got a surprise when a coworker saw the waistband and made a comment about the pattern.  He knows I’m into undies so it wasn’t out of line but did perk me up a bit when I realized this pair will get a nice reaction!   🙂

Review – N2N Bodywear Indy Racer Brief

RS1-16-3

The Indy Racer Brief is furnished by N2N Bodywear

Ratings:

  • Fit –9
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 8
  • Styling – 8
  • Performance – 8
  • Overall -8.4

Pros:

  • Edgy design
  • Secure anatomical pouch
  • Tight butt

Cons:

  • Center seam
  • Pricy

Undies Rock Recommendation: This may be on the slightly pricier side for a cotton brief but the style and cut will not let you down. This pair will leave you feeling and looking great

Hey underwear fans, it’s been a while since I’ve been at it. I got a little consumed with my personal and work lives but I’m glad to be back with some kick ass reviews. I’m really excited for the next few reviews I have lined up because they are for one of my favorite local brands, N2N!

Right now, I have for you the RS1 Indy Racer Brief by N2N in white.  Let’s start off by saying this brief is all pouch and butt!  As you might assume from the name, the brief is more on the sporty side. The thin breathable material is comprised mostly of cotton (90%) and with 10% spandex for extra movement and snug fit. The design is breathable with a single-ply, slightly transparent design. N2N’s “patented” Xtreme pouch design provides just enough support for your package. It allows for great comfort especially for those who are well endowed. Without being over restricting. The cup acts as its own protective barrier by isolating your package. Preventing it from chaffing.  This is a huge plus in my book, as having a pouch where the sides don’t stretch out is essential.  I will also add that the pouch has more of an anatomical and slightly narrow fit. With a center seam (always a turnoff).  One of my favorite aspects of the brief is the cut of the butt. It’s a mid-coverage, saucy design that sits low on the waist. It has a snug tight fit and doesn’t stretch out and lose its form or move around during the day.  I test drove a medium, which is rated for a 30-34 inch waist.  I am roughly a 33 inch waist, and like I said this brief is right on point.  The butt is super secure, and pouch has well defined perimeter with an anatomical vibe.  The construction is rock solid, and they have held up quite well to numerous washes.  Ultimately you can’t go wrong with a great tight fitting pair of white briefs.  They are so basic and always hit the spot!

The cotton construction has a sporty vibe. The two contrasting racer stripes on the sides and supportive cup. If you are a fan of exercising in cotton underwear, you will definitely dig this pair. Otherwise, it’s just an overall awesome pair for most activities, including long work days.  Personally I like this brief for lounging around for its comfy and sexy style.  If you are a more conversations underwear fan but are curious about edgier styles. This Indy Racer Brief is a perfect introductory pair. The style includes 2 inch sides and as mentioned before, low rise, mid coverage design.

The Indy Racer Brief comes in three colors. It has contrasting stripe/stitching options. The colors are white with blue, navy blue with yellow, and heather gray with orange. All of them look sweet and are sure to be winners. This pair can be found on the N2N website at $22 each. This may be on the slightly pricier side for a cotton brief but the style and cut will not let you down. This pair will leave you feeling and looking great!

Review – N2N Bodywear Dream Pant

No Comments

L6-15-AThe N2N Bodywear Dream Pant was furnished By N2N Bodywear for Review

Rating: 9.2/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Super soft material. great fitting. Amazingly comfortable.
Cons: Not everyone likes loungewear, If not wearing undies you can show off everything.

UNB Tim recommendation: If you want super comfortable loungewear, this is the pair for you. N2N Bodywear makes amazing loungewear as well as swimwear

Loungewear is not something we cover enough on the blog. Its something most guys either like or don’t like. I will be the first to admit that before UNB I was never a loungewear guy. I would throw on a pair of shorts or hang out in my underwear. After almost 8 years on UNB, I have discovered how amazing loungewear truly can be. Sure we all love to hang out in undies, but there are those times when you can’t. Maybe its a trip with friends/family, having guests at your home or you just need a cover up to answer the door.

The Dream line from N2N Bodywear has a brief, hoodie, pant and robe. I have a pair of the N2N Lounge Pants. Which is the “lounge” line from N2N. It’s a little confusing. I loved these because they were so comfy. I wanted to try more of the loungewear from N2N. These pants really didn’t let me down. When I put them on they felt great. The first time I put them on I wore them without underwear. Well that may not be the best thing around others. It made certain things very noticeable. If you’re with your partner or alone this is fine. You may not want to do this around others. The second time was with my Studio Groove briefs and it was fine.

I love the fabric of this line. The Dream line has a 92% polyester / 8% spandex. The fabric is super soft and has some good stretch to it. These are a bit loose and the spandex gives it a little bit of stretch where you need it. These are currently my favorite lounge wear. Yes, I have been working on UNB many times while I”m kicking it in my N2N Dream pants.

Sizing for loungwear runs different that underwear. The waist isn’t the only factor. The length of the pants are important too. You don’t want to seem like you’re running out to go clam digging. I received and XL and the waist was fine and the length was great. Being 6’4″ sometimes pants can run short. These didn’t and I was very happy.

These were great to wear. I need to get an entire sex of the Dream line. They are amazing pants and if you’re in the market for new lounge pants check these out and not those flannel ones. These are perfect especially for summer. They are lighter and a lot more fashionable.

Review N2N Bodywear Stellar Swim Briefs

No Comments

8VcXYWgEN2N SBS Stellar Swim Briefs furnished by N2N.

Rating: 8/10

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 8/10
  • Construction: 9.5/10
  • Styling: 8/10
  • Daily Performance: 8

Pros: A great swim brief cut and fun, eccentric pattern

Cons: Tight in the bum and revealing for those with very defined bits.

Beau Briefs recommends: This is a fun pair, great for a day at the beach or time in the hot tub.

Okay apparently I need a smaller bum. Here is my one, wah wah, thing to say about this: my bum makes the pair a bit too tight. Now the reason I am saying this upfront is because this has much more to do with me than it does the actual pair itself. So, let’s just get it out of the way now. My butt fills out the suit and as such the seams along the lower cheeks bite a little bit. That’s all, that’s it: the big wah wah. The other minor thing (close your eyes if this reads as too much info) I have fairly distinct lines down in the bit and berries so sometimes fabrics that aren’t thick enough show everyone my religion.

Now! On to all of the good and lovely stuff about this swim brief by NSN.

N2N is bringing back some fun and crazy patterns, starting with this Stellar Sport. It comes in four distinct patterns/color combos. Now on the website it’ll be called Stellar Navy Turquoise. I prefer to think of it as Stellar Interconnected Super Highway, but mostly cause I’m a dork. It’s a fun pair with crazy colors that makes you think a bit of Tron, in a good way. Plus there is the fun turquoise cut of fabric that breaks up the pair in a flirty way.

The cut is my favorite. Give me a classic swim brief/speedo cut any day of the week! Heck, give me two! I love when pairs have a good amount of space up

front and cut wide enough but also high enough on the sides of the pouch. Give me just 1-1.5 inches (wait for it) of material around the top part of the thigh and I’m a happy camper. That’s just what the Stellar does, it cuts higher up the leg to really show off the pouch AND show off the legs.

Since it is N2N I do have to bring up one thing. I don’t have to bring up a thing about the fabric selection. It’s true, I have yet to try on a pair of N2N where the fabric blend was not amazing. No comfortable, scratchy, or annoying feeling pairs ever come out of that place. This pair is no different.

Despite the tightness of the bum for me I did rock this pair out on one of the glorious Seattle beaches. Okay parks next to the water that we call beaches…stop laughing. I was with friends a few Saturdays ago in our 90-degree weather (yep, go Seattle). Everyone complimented the pair, the fun-ness of the fabric and how it looked, because a tightly squeezed bum is nice to look at. So the day was a hit and so was the N2N Stellar Swim Brief. And once I find a friend with a hot tub. I will be in that tub so quickly with a glass of wine and this swim suit that heads will spin, jaws will drop, and jealousy will rage.
