September 8, 2013 No Comments

Mesh is a trend in men’s underwear that just keeps going. When it popped up a few years ago I expected it to take off then guys move on the next thing in underwear. Flash forward 3 years and the mesh trend is still going strong. Clever is one of those brands who has taken to the trend and made it really fun. They aren’t making just sheer underwear for the sake of making it they put some thought behind it.

Last year they released the Kansai Latin brief. It was super fun the black pair had a purple waistband and the white had a silver Waistband. They have continued this line with the new Eros Latin Brief now with updated waistband colors. The Black now comes in a black waistband with a bright blue Clever name showing. The while has a blue/teal waistband and grey writing. These two colors really make the pairs pop. The blue on the the black pair is something that is carried over into other pairs in the new collection as well.

Style Brief – BodyAware Well-Endowed Brief

August 31, 2013 No Comments

Underwear for the well-endowed guy is one of the biggest, pardon the pun, request we get here at UNB. Speaking from experience it’s hard to find great underwear with enough room in the pouch. There is nothing worse then undies that don’t fit either in the pouch or seat!

BodyAware is tackling this problem. They have created the Well-Endowed Brief. It’s based on their Italian Shaper Brief, but they added an extra roomy pouch. Their site says “made for the extremely well-endowed men who wants to show it off.

The brief is made out of 90%Polyamide 10%Elastane material that is slightly transparent, so you will be showing off more then just a bulge under pants. They have created incredibly stretchy structured pouch that should be able to give you great support without binding or feeling constricted. Also the pair is just three colors, white, navy and turquoise.

Sizing is a bonus in this pair. This is one of the few brands that make an XS and XXL. This means you can go from 27 inch waist to 43. So no matter your size you can wear this pair.

We will be getting a pair of these soon and will let you know how they are! More companies are paying attention to the needs of guys. It is available at the BodyAware site for $18.50
