Ready to get Candid?

There is a new underwear company out there we want to bring to your attention. The company is called Candid Underwear. Here is a little info about them, we will have a more in depth info this next week.

Candid Underwear was founded in April 2009.

They wanted to design a line of men’s underwear that combined the fashion look we saw in other brands (like ginch gonch and clever) with the high quality and comfortable fit we found in brands like CK and 2xist.

The line started with classic patterns that you would normally see in outwear and bring them to underwear.

They wanted to create a brand that was fun an chic and build it around the idea of being comfortable in any situation – comfortable with what you are wearing but also comfortable with who you are. So they come up the name Candid for the underwear line.

Del and Jason Review Ginch Gonch

We get the third review from Del and Jason. They are reviewing Ginch Gonch. Ginch Gonch is one of my favorites. But, see how Del and Jason thought of them!

This is our 2nd experience with Ginch Gonch. We were on an RSVP cruise a couple of years ago when the line was launched and were given freebies — they were sponsoring the underwear party. That time we both wore bikini camo briefs, which were very hot. Made your body look good and your package look better. We did find that when we returned, they didn’t hold up very well. Weak elastic and the briefs got out of shape quickly. It seems that the new ones we received were made better and are holding up better, but compared to other brands (2Xist, Baskit), they still have a ways to go. They are frankly not our very favorites. The designs with their homage to kid’s underwear, well, we just don’t find that sexy and Jason especially feels they are not nearly as comfortable as they should be.

We were sent two pair — one brief and one square-cut brief. The square-cut brief is slightly more comfortable than the brief. The square-cut has a motor cross bike and rider with some numbers. Not sure exactly. Too gay to know. And the brief has the boy’s trucks. Again, not very sexy in our opinion.

These guys are 95% cotton and 5% lacra. Maybe the lacra is the issue, not sure — but compared to our all cotton of Go Software and Baskit, they are not nearly as soft. They are made in Columbia. They also do not have the pouch room that the others mentioned have — thus your dick is squashed, contributing lack of comfort. I do remember the camo bikini brief were much more comfortable, just didn’t hold up well. We both find that in our “rotation” we skip over them unless we need to do wash. We wanted to like them more.
