I must confess that upon receiving this new thong from Andrew Christian, it was graciously accepted with a bit of trepidation.  While, jocks are not typical of my underwear collection, I was curious with this particular pair considering that Andrew Christian is notorious for their forward thinking designs and superb construction, which honestly is a prerequisite for any thong I’m willing to sport.

Upon opening the packaging, I was impressed with the dry mesh fabric which is known to dry 4 times faster than cotton and doesn’t discolor. This is a new patent Dry Technology that is incorporated into AC’s Dry & Naked Jock and/or Thong with Show-It Technology collection.  This performance thong features a back panel that is designed so that the center strap won’t ride up and become uncomfortable. The sides and back are white and the cup is a contrasting gray with a black waistband and Andrew Christian in white lettering that travels around the entire band.

Perhaps the most intriguing feature of this thong is the comfortable cup that is lined with super soft fabric that gently lifts your package and keeps the family jewels comfortably in place.  I was a little skeptical at first but after wearing them all day, I was totally amazed and oddly enough fell in love with this thong.  Not to mention the fact that it adds about 1.5 inches to your appendage as advertised by the manufacturer.  Needless to say, less can be more!

In summary, never judge a thong solely on its stereotypical and historical reputation.   If you haven’t ever tried a thong or if you’re a seasoned fan, this pair is totally the right pair you want to experience. This evaluation only confirms the committed quality and new technologies that Andrew Christian continues to deliver in every line that is incorporated in their underwear designs.

Andrew Christian Almost Naked Fusion BriefIf there is one brand that has the best chance to take designer underwear mainstream, it would certainly be Andrew Christian.  To be honest, this is the first pair of Andrew Christians I’ve owned.  Everyone I know that knows anything about underwear has a pair…if not multiple pairs.  After a few times wearing my first pair, I can easily see why.  This is truly amazing underwear.  Truly amazing!  I’m quite excited to write this review because it is underwear the whole world needs to know about.

Promises are something I value highly.  When someone, or a brand, tells me something, I expect them to keep their promises.  You may be asking yourself, “What promises in underwear are there?”  I find it quite obvious.  Though it really isn’t that big of a deal, I think it’s important for a brand to uphold their statements.  That promise in this case is frontal support.  Let me tell you, this pair keeps its promises.

You might be wondering what this awesome pair of underwear is created of and it’s kind of surprising.  It’s made of 94% Rayon…from Bamboo.  That’s right, I said it!  Bamboo.  The other 6% is Spandex.  It’s so comfortable.  Another promise AC makes is that it feels like nothing is there.  They are right as you really forget you are wearing it.  The front support is a dream.  It’s really a whole package, pun or not.  I put this underwear through the daily test and it passed.  Through class, daily activities, and working out, it proved to be good, supporting underwear.  If your drawer is lacking, you seriously need to buy this underwear.  If it isn’t lacking, buy it anyway.
