Isn’t It Time To Think About You?
Sure, the spirit of the holiday is about giving, but now your shopping is done. You’ve trudged through the snow (or through the sweltering sun for our friends in the southern hemisphere) and you’ve battled crowds in malls and may even have bruises to show for it, but it’s all over and we think it’s now time to treat yourself.
In celebration of another shopping victory, we’re offering 15% off of everything on Jockstrap Central from now until December 28th (midnight) – so treat yourself, you deserve it!
How Do I Do It?
It’s easy. As soon as you put anything into your shopping cart on Jockstrap Central, on the cart page, you’ll see a box to input a discount code. Just type “allaboutme” (without the quotes) and click the “Add Coupon” button and 15% will be deducted from your total. You can continue shopping, or continue to the check out. Anything else you put into the shopping cart during that session will also have the 15% deducted.
You know him from Sordid Lives the movie and TV series. He has also reviewed underwear here with his partner Jason Dottley. He used to post underwear pictures on his Facebook group, but he was reported twice for “questionable” pictures. So, we got him set up on this very own blog. You can now check out hot underwear pictures at Del Shores’ HOT SHOTS. Its a brand new blog and make sure you check it out. He posts pics such as the one above of David Beckham, and he’s even posted some self pics. Check it out often and make sure you bookmark it!
Check out this week’s Undies of the Week. It is a new arrival at Go Softwear. An exciting new design: Mesh scoop thong. It is a scoop thong that is a hot seller for obvious reasons. Look how nice it is! It has a thong back with mesh side panels and a “scoop” pouch that gives it a European flare. The waist is made of soft elastic for your pleasure.
These are great looking with a little peek-a-boo key hole on either side of the front. It adds a great point of interest to this thong. Also, I like them because they are sheer. I just like sheer, what can I say? The look is awesome and interesting and my wife likes it a lot, too. It’s a win/win situation. It’s a great pick for Undies of the Week and a fun look for us to enjoy.
The thong is made of 46% rayon, 46% polyester and 8% lycra. They are made in the U.S.A. You can find them at Go Softwear for $19.00. Check it out and check out all the other new arrivals while you are there.

We both LOVE the underwear that was sent to us from Baskit. Okay, we love two pair and one is a little on the silly side. But first of all, can we just briefly discuss how hot the name of this underwear is. Baskit. Immediately just reeks sexy and conjures up an image of a great package. For two gay men, we already in!
We were sent two pair of briefs and one Jock Brief from the Baskit line. One Pure Bikini, which is white, trimmed in green (Tim, please correct if “green” is more fancy LOL) One was the Contrast Bikini, white trimmed in Riviera Blue. And finally the Jock Brief, green trimmed in orange, the only one we didn’t love. The colors were a little extreme on the Jock Brief and it just felt silly too us with the ass cut out, although we can totally understand some guys loving it and finding it extremely hot. Like you have a secret underneath your clothes!
These guys are 100% cotton, very soft and they feel amazing. The fit is perfect, snug, but doesn’t feel tight, with just the right pouch for comfort and framing of your “package”. We really really love the feel and continue to gravitate to them often as one of our favorite lines — and trust us when we say, we have LOTS of underwear. And they are damn sexy to boot! We love to have a variation of underwear and Baskit will continue to be in our rotation.
| Pure | Contrast Bikini | Jock Brief | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit | 5 | 5 | 3 |
| Materials | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Put Together | 5 | 5 | 3 |
| Look | 5 | 5 | 3 |
| Daily Wear | 5 | 5 | 2 |

These pairs were furnished from Baskit and can be purchased directly from their site!

Start the New Year with a Bang! The latest in GO SOFWEAR’s body shapers/enhancement products for men. The Slimming Tank offers support for those problem areas around the abdomen and love handles, giving you a slimmer silhouette under your clothes. The unique feature of the slimming tank is that it goes on just like a tank, NO zippers buttons, Velcro, etc. The upper portion is made of 90% cotton 10% lycra and the lower of a unique Power mesh made of 80% nylon 10% lycra. It is this unique fabric combination that gently lifts and molds those problem areas giving an individual a sculpted waistline.
The Slimming Tank went live on Go Softwear’s website Thursday and the company is getting a great response in sales in its recent launch. The Slimming Tank is available in white and in sizes S – XXL. The perfect gift or item to start the New Year.
This new C-IN2 collection reminds me of that pair of underwear that you have had and just fits so well you don’t want to get rid of it. You will wear it till it’s worn out, faded and the only way you will get rid of them is if they are literally falling apart.
C-IN2 released a new line called Hand Me Down. The collection is a vintage athletic style. It comes in four styles; a Brief, No Show Army Trunk, Lo No Show Brief and a Running Boxer. They currently have 3 colors as well, blue, green and orange.
I am a fan of C-IN2 and think they do some great undies. Some of my favorites from them are the Bamboo Collection. The washed out colors is something I haven’t seen much in the world of men’s underwear. I think it’s a great new concept.
The one thing I am really loving in underwear right now is the creativity that is happening. The whole Hand Me Down is something I think very few companies have thought of, and C-IN2 isn’t one company that stands still. They have created and continue to create some of the best men’s underwear around. I am not one for plain simple undies. Granted they have their place, but its great to have options in what you wear.
I hope we get to see more creative undies from C-IN2 soon. I hope we will get to review these for you soon. I will keep you posted when we get them and when the reviews will be up!
What do you think about this collection? Let us know if you think C-IN2 has a hit or a miss! Post a comment and we’ll talk more in the comments!
We are pleased to announce the winner of the Ginch Gonch Contest is Lars! He has the $40 Gift Card. We hope he picks out some great undies to wear! Thanks to everyone who entered, stay tuned or more contests soon!

Andrew Christian is not one underwear designer that sits back and just rests on his current line. At least once a month he comes out with a new product. The newest is the League Brief. The Show-it line has proved to be one of the most popular he’s ever created, and he is builiding on new styles that incorporate the Show-it technology.
If you don’t know what Show-it technology is, well its the enhancing underwear that show’s off what you have in the front! So it takes what you have in your pouch and pushes it out and makes it seem larger. For an exact way this works you can see the press release below.
I really like these briefs and think they are a little different, from what he’s done before. They remind me of sports uniforms, with the stripes and colored pouch. In fact for some reason they seem more like soccer. I don’t know why, but that’s just what I’m seeing.
The briefs are on sale now for $22.04. You just have to use code 24OFF9158
Below is the official press release for the new line!
Show your spirit with the League Brief. Made from super soft cotton and featuring our anti-muffin top elastic, these briefs come in three different color combinations: White/Royal/Turquoise, White/Yellow/Green and Navy/Turquoise/ Orange.
Each brief features a tri-color stripe on both the right and left sides. Each brief contains contrasting leg openings and stitching. Show-It 2.0 Technology features the comfy cup that gently lifts and supports a man’s best assets. The horseshoe shaped inner cup is lined by soft elastic that gently aids in the lifting and adds up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to a man’s frontal measurement and provides the biggest natural enhancement of any underwear.

Piss & Vinegar is now shipping. Do you know about them? If not, they are a new brand founded by Jason Suthernland. Jason is one of the forces that launched Ginch Gonch back in 2003. He has since left Ginch Gonch and started his own line. Piss & Vinegar is one that he is launching now. There two other lines that are in the works. They are Dick & Jane and Expose.
I got to talk with Jason a few months ago and he’s trying to develop a line that is sexy for everyone. He’s not just focusing on a certain market. He wants to make underwear that straight guys and gay guys would both wear. The world of men’s underwear is changing and no longer is it just gay guys wanting sexy great fitting underwear.
I went to the Piss & Vinegar site and saw that they are now shipping. The styles I see that they have right now are the; I Love Jesus, I love Buddha, I Love Boys and I love Cartoons. They are all fun and done with a sense of humor. I have seen other styles on the site, such as solid briefs, jocks and long johns, but didn’t see them in the store. So, we can only assume that they will be shipping early next year.
I am working on getting us some pairs to review. I am really looking forward to trying these out and seeing how they fit. I will let you know on twitter/facebook when we get them in! Make sure you go check out their site!
Winter is hitting much of the U.S. right now, and we are trying to keep warm. But, what would you say to staying warm in style? Our choices right now are the plain long johns, why not get something fun and colorful.
Ginch Gonch carries over their style to the world of Long Johns. With names such as Argyle, Wiener Eaters, Jolly Cocks, Multiple stars and Fire trucks. These are all from the Reworks collection.
The Argyle collection is one that is the most conservative. They are come in three styles. The one we are showing here is the Tiger’s Wood. The line also comes in two lighter Argyles. The Geek Chic is a has brighter colors and some red mixed in, while the Diamond Stud is pastel in colors.
The one I know probably have your attention most is the Wiener Eater collection. These have little hot dogs all over them, hence the name. And you though it was something else i bet. It comes in three styles as well, Blue Buns, Night Wiener and Pink Piggy. They all have the same hot dog print, but the Blue Buns has a blue background, Night Wiener has a black background and Pink Piggy, you guessed it, pink (see the picture).
The Jolly cocks set has chickens all over them. They are similar to the Jolly Cocks pattern. Just imagine you can say would you like to see my “Jolly Cocks” The one we have profiled is the Chokin’ Chicken. It the Chicken print with a grey back ground. The other too are the Cockadoodle Blue and Yolkie Dolkie. I love these names.
The Multiple Stars is just that, multiple stars, I bet you didn’t guess that! All three pairs are a star pattern on a solid back ground. The Star Stud is a pair with Red/Yellow stars on a white background. You can really shine in these! The other two pairs are Pink Star and Rising Star. Yes I’m putting the names in because I like them.
Lastly in the Long Johns line is the Fire Trucks. It can bring back memories of when you were with a kid and had fire truck undies or pajamas. The pair I like best is “Fire Crotch,” yes I said it. These names crack me up! They have little fire trucks, ambulances, fire hydrants and fire hats on them. The other two in the line are Flirt Squirt and Back Draft.
As you can tell Ginch Gonch is a really creative company, especially in their names! They have some of the best names around. If you are tired of plain boring long john’s, then check out the ones from Ginch Gonch and be stylish while being warm! Who said warmth knows no fashion, hasn’t seen these yet!

Happy Holidays!
The reviews continue of Unico. I have to say what is really not to like of Unico. As, I have reviewed underwear by Unico, I have found very few I haven’t liked. Actually, everything I have reviewed I have loved. It goes back to the pouch! There are very few undies with out pouches that I like. The pouch just holds everything the way it should be held.
I put these undies on and they were similar to the Jardin pair. They had a very similar cut, but they were a really bright yellow. It’s awesome to see some really fun colors come back to men’s undies. Although, I have a friend who said “The last thing I want to do is to have to color coordinate my underwear.” I know there are some of you thinking that, but it can be fun to do that from time to time.
These underwear were a bit different then the Jardin pair, they were a spandex/cotton blend. Which I liked, but I found the spandex blend more comfy. These have the same pouch and fit. But I personally love the fit of the spandex best. That doesn’t mean to say I didn’t like these. They still fit pretty awesome. The pouch was the same as in all their undies.

Time to really warm up inside and get bare with our favorite hot Roman/Greek god Maurice Lombardo and Muscle boi Brandon McCormick. Turn up the holiday heat in DMK’s exclusive masculine urban safari retreat- as the guys share their packages with you. New York photographer Peter D. Brown (www.peterdbrownphoto.com) shoots Maurice and Brandon in macho safari and military themed DMK briefs, thongs, jocks …. and bare naked by the fire. Maurice displays his hard manly assets in camouflage, tiger and giraffe designs that deliciously enhance his male anatomy. And, our muscle boi Brandon barley covers his sizable masculinity in a military green jock, brief and tiger thong. Certain featured DMK designs are UNDERGEAR exclusives and available only at www.undergear.com. Naked or not… it looks like these boys know how to roast chestnuts at the fire. You can see more hot designs- and more hot DMK models at www.dmk-designs.com (see: photo gallery for more sizzling editorial shots).

Round 3 of the Unico reviews and one more to go! It has been a blast to try all of these undies. You know each pair fits differently, and I have enjoyed it. I must say that I’m more of a brief guy then boxer or trunk. But as you have seen I have really enjoyed the Unico boxers!
Unico’s Mundo Natural line was inspired by the Tropics, the Amazon Jungle, and its wildlife. Luxuriate in seductive textures that will stimulate your senses, exciting prints that captivate your eyes and new fashion details that are sure to have everyone talking.
The new designs incorporate reptilian inspired waistbands and nature inspired prints as well as the always exceptional Unico construction. Indulge yourself in style and comfort. Made out of 93% Cotton, 7% Spandex.
These undies have been great to wear. I wish they would have been in more spandex/nylon material but, the pouch was incredible. They have a unique fit that really holds everything in place. The briefs also gave full coverage and never rode up or bunched. Which to me is a good thing in a brief
