Modus Vivendi Design is a company that came to our attention. They are a European company that is doing some really great designs. But, be warned they aren’t for the conservative guy. Granted they have some traditional underwear, but they have some really cool underwear, that you just don’t see every day.

One of the favorite things on their site I loved was the Fetish Zipper Jock. It’s just like a regular jock with a zipper down the front. It’s a very cool design that I haven’t seen before. They have taken, what some say has been a staple on a guys wardrobe, and given it a new twist.

If you want something a little more traditional, you can check out their Plus line. It’s a very classical styling of underwear. You can get this line in briefs, bikinis, boxer briefs, and tee’s. So the site isn’t just for the wild guy. Its a really great to see a company that has a great mix of designs.

When you go over an check out the site, one of the best things about the site is that the pricing is done in Euros, Pounds and Dollars. So there is no need to do any conversion. Head over and check out some of the great designs!

Presenting the final part in the series by Daniel Miljkovic, designer for the men’s underwear brand Obviously, on the 10 things that make men’s underwear comfortable.

Part Ten: E Comfort

So I’m not talking about electronic comfort here, although you’d be surprised at some of the gadgets used these days to test materials and fabrics, I’m talking about Emotional comfort.

I want to round out the 10 things series with a short discussion about a comfort factor no one ever seems to discuss and that’s how you feel about your underwear when you have to take your pants off in front of someone.

Whether it’s your long term partner, some guy/gal you just picked up, people at the gym, or a trip to the doctor, it’s important that when you drop your pants you feel good about what you’re wearing. It’s all about personal preference here, some go for the branding, bright colors, the newest pair, or the less-is-more approach and are happy to flaunt. Without a question of a doubt clean underwear is always a good start.

Speaking of trips to the doctor, a ‘friend’ got caught once wearing the daggiest, old underpants he had, on the one day the doctor had to young medical students in with him. Not his most comfortable moment. ..

I’d love to hear some of the funny stories you all have about underwear incidents. Send me an email with your story and we’ll select the top 3 best stories to each receive a FREE pair of Obviously underwear of their choice.

Whatever your choice in underwear make sure that when the time comes to drop your pants, you’re comfortable. E Comfort J

For all of you who aren’t yet aware, Obviously has just launched its Sinuous Collection, 3 colour prints across our entire Low Rise range – enough to make anyone comfortable.

Here is a change of pace. Instead of having a review that at least included a thong or a jock this one is solely about briefs. Our good friends at DeadGoodUndies.com have asked us to review the Jockey Sports Stretch Microfiber Mesh Brief. The Jockey brand is an old personal favorite of mine. It was the first brand I eyed when I became interested in underwear. My fascination started with the bikini and string bikini briefs from Jockey. I also love their undershirts. But let’s not lose focus, back to the briefs. As I always do, I wore the briefs for a whole day including a trip to the gym. The briefs I reviewed were a size large. This is a good size for me when it comes to Jockey. The pouch had ample room and the back supplied good coverage. However, the rear seat of the briefs moved around a bit while I was running on the treadmill so I did have to adjust just a bit.

The material is very soft and stretchy, which is great when you are wearing them while working out. The waistband is comfortable and didn’t cause any irritation while working out. The overall fit and design of the brief is functional and very comfy. They also include mesh material along the front-waist area that helps with breathability while working out.

As I have said before, when it comes to briefs I love the skimpy look and these briefs have that look. They have less material that a regular brief but are not the full string bikini brief that Jockey have had in the past. It has both a sexy look but also very functional for working out and playing sports. I personally wish they would add a jockstrap to this particular line of Jockey. I think it would be a hit. But I will just have to hit up our friends at DeadGoodUndies.com for more pairs in other colors.

So to sum it all up, I believe the Jockey Sports Stretch Microfiber Mesh Brief is a great pair of briefs. I give it an overall rating of 4.6 on a scale of 5.

  • Fit:  4
  • Materials: 5
  • Put Together: 5
  • Look:  5
  • Daily Wear: 5
  • Overall: 4.8

You can find these briefs as well as a mid thigh length Sport Trunk, boxer shape Trunk and Athletic Shirt in this particular Jockey Sports Stretch Microfiber Mesh line at DeadGoodUndies.com. The briefs are in while, black, and a kiwi green color and are around $12.

We were given some great undies to review from our Friends at Dead Good Undies. And over the next two weeks we will be posting them. They sent us undies from HOM, Jockey Sport, Ergowear and Olaf Benz.

I love undies from HOM and Erogwear, but haven’t had any in a long time. I got my first pair of HOM over 10 years ago, it was an HOM Sport Jockstrap that a friend got me from Europe. It was incredible, and one of my favorite pairs for a long time, but as time goes on, you out grow them, and I think I may still have it around here some where. My first pair of Ergowear were the first pair of briefs they had. I wore them till they basically fell apart. I got those about 10 years ago, so I”m glad to get more of them.

The first pair I’m going to review is the Olaf Benz Prince Brazil Slip. It is black with red on the sides. Its a very small bikini cut brief. When I opened the package I was very excited to see these. I love smaller cut underwear.  I put it on and wore if for a day. And I must say I was very impressed. The material was very thin and I wondered if it would give me enough support through out the day. And it did a very great job. If you have had one of those pairs that once you put them on you don’t really notice them, well that’s what the Prince Brazil pair did. I barely noticed I had underwear on. The styling are pretty sexy as well. This would be a great pair to wear on a date when you know your partner may see your undies.

One thing I”m not sure I would change is that when I first put them on, I thought they maybe a bit loose but, I think that’s the material and after wearing all day, I loved them and the fit. They are going into the undies rotation. If you’re like me you have different categories of undies, Daily wear, special wear, and regular undies. This will be in the Daily wear.

  • Over all : 4.8
