Can you think of something Polish to put in your underwear? Gregg Homme did!

Their latest “product shot” model Christopher Nogiec (with his Polish roots) has just been named one of the 50 sexiest men alive by DNA Australian Magazine.

Want to know the secrets to this stud’s perfectly sculpted body and sexy lifestyle? Read our exclusive Q & A!

Interview by Gregg Homme with Christopher Nogiec (CN)

Are you a Thong, Briefs or Boxer Briefs type?

[CN] – Boxer briefs, but nice pair of briefs when going out or for a special occasion

What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning ?

[CN] – Go running, then make coffee! I know, wrong order, right?

Are you single?

[CN] – Yes

What is your # 1 rule to staying in shape?

[CN] – Consistency: workout, run, and eat well

If you could change one part of your body, which would it be or why?

[CN] – Hair color and freckles—I never get cast/picked for the dark, sultry, sexy look. I’m not tall, dark, and handsome.

Do you think that translucent underwear could change your life?

[CN] – Yes, for one, it feels like I’m not wearing any underwear, and that feels good. Also, it feels sexy, even when no one can see my underwear. When I feel sexy, I feel it emanates and makes me look sexy to others. Haha, as cheesy as that sounds, I definitely throw on a sexy pair of underwear before going out to make me feel sexier and hopefully more attractive.

What is one food you couldn’t live without…

[CN] – Milk: I love milk, cheese, and well, that’s where my whey protein comes from.

What is your favourite workout song?

[CN] – Hmm… there are so many and it always changes…basically, anything with a good beat that makes me move/dance a little between sets. LOL! I kind of like the Kevin Rudolf “let it rock” song, The Roots “The Seed 2.0,” and Fort Minor “Remember The Name”… stuff like that or even “Telephone” by Lady Gaga/Beyonce.

What’s your favorite song to get down and dirty?

[CN] – Hmm… what’s my favorite “baby making music?” Anything with a good R&B beat or dark and sexy:

  1. John Legend “Green Light”
  2. Janet “All night (Don’t Stop)” or “That’s the way love goes”
  3. Britney “Breathe On Me”
  4. Tweet “Oops”
  5. Madonna “Burning Up” or “Justify My Love”
  6. Kyle Minogue “Slow”

Oh, wait, did you just want one song? I think I get carried away…

What is your biggest turn on?

[CN] – Confidence

What is your favorite Gregg Homme style to model?

[CN] – That’s a tough one…they all felt really comfortable when modeling them. But, I think I like either the Bandito or the Torrid best!

When I first received these pair of underwear to review, the first thing that caught my eye was the extremely soft and lightweight Rayon fabric used in the construction of this sexy and stylish brief.  Again, Andrew Christian sticks with his esthetic by remaining consistent with the conduction, functionality and fashion forward designs.

Upon further inspection, I immediately discovered the hidden ‘comfy cup’ as AC likes to refer to and is represented across many of his other styles.   The horseshoe shaped inner cup is lined by soft elastic that gently aids in a lifting and supporting the family jewels.  Once you’ve experienced this unique and flattering construction for yourself, you won’t care to ever go back to the traditional brief.  I wore these while on vacation in Palm Springs and let me tell you, these kept me dry all day long in the hot desert heat and provided the comfort and support I’ve come to cherish with the AC brand.

One other valuable component to these sexy briefs is the trademark, ‘anti-muffin’ elastic waistband, which is approximately 1 ¾ inches and carries the signature Andrew Christian name with sporty stripes around the waist.  This tri-color waistband with contrast stitching along the bottom of the leg and vertical on both sides of the pouch adds an additional sporty look to the overall design.

In summary, if you’re hot natured and sweat a lot anytime you exert even the least amount of physical activity then these cool, lightweight and absorbent briefs are perfect to your underwear collection and come highly recommended.

Jockstrap Central have received a lot of suggestions about carrying a jockstrap with a roomier pouch so they mentioned this to Activeman – a few months later Activeman came up with a solution – BIG TIME!

The pouch of this sexy jock is contoured to accommodate the natural hang of a guys family jewels while still managing to lift them up and push them out for an amazing 3d effect.

This solidly constructed jockstrap consists of a heavy-duty smooth lycra pouch and double enforced one and one quarter inch waistband with matching one inch elastic leg straps. We’ve got them in solid white, solid black and a stunning red and black combination.

The only thing better than the style and fit is their incredible price. At $14.95, this is one fashion jock you’ll need to have in your collection.”

I recently had the awesome privilege in trying out a pair of N2N undies.  I have admired N2N Bodywear for some time now, especially their sheer undies.  Yes, I do love sheer if you haven’t figured that out yet.  The pair I was given to review were cotton.  No matter, I was super excited to try them.  I wasn’t disappointed.  They were super comfortable and I almost forgot what I was wearing.  I actually had to keep reminding myself I was wearing them and I needed to review them.

My review pair was the white cotton Twilight brief.  They are not the sexiest pair but are extremely comfortable.    They are made of 90% cotton and 10% spandex and are ribbed.  They love your body and are very comfortable.

The overall fit was perfect.  They hug your body in all the right places and provide excellent support where needed.  The legs don’t bind and the waistband is not too large and non-binding.  There is plenty of room for everything you own.

I am super happy with my first N2N Bodywear brief and look forward to my next great experience in wearing their undies.

These Twilight briefs can be found at the N2N Bodywear website located at http://www.n2nbodywear.com. These briefs were provided for review.

The Twilight Brief is the first pair of underwear from N2N.  I have tried their workout shorts and liked how they performed.  I had wanted to review underwear by them and now I have been given the chance.

I was happy with the material, made up of 90% cotton and 10% Spandex.  It is comfortable with a good amount of stretch.  Call me spoiled, but I had hoped these briefs would come with a formed pouch.  With all the brands out there which sport an accentuated pouch, I would think N2N might want this great feeling brief to give its wearer the most comfort as possible.  I’m not a fan of briefs that push everything against my body, or in better terms, require me to form my own pouch.

The waistband is a color combination of yellow, gray, and black with the N2N logo surrounding the body.  The band measures 1.5 inches (3.81 cm).  To be elastic, it is a smooth material so not to cut into the body throughout the day.  The leg openings are lined with a cloth covered elastic band.  The altogether fit of the brief was helped by this feature.  The briefs remained in place all the day of classes and lots of walking.

I have to admit right off the bat that I am not much of a boxer briefs guy.  When I first received these Frank Dandy Pitch Boxer Briefs, I was a little hesitant.  I pulled them out of the packaging, however, and they looked more like a square-cut brief than a boxer brief.  Either way, the fit of these is amazing and the fabric is so soft, causing these to be towards the top of my underwear drawer.

To start off, the Pitch Boxer Brief looks good.  They have a college style to them that isn’t over the top but adds flair.  The pin stripes are not something I see on undies often, but it’s something I really like.  They also added a slight 70’s styling with the small cuts up the side.  Secondly, the fabric is soft and fits well.  The only downfall to this is if you are lacking a butt, like me.  They don’t hug your buns, leaving them a little baggy in the rear.  They held their shape well and never rode up, even though the legs don’t have tight elastic around them.

The Pitch Boxer Brief was my first interaction with Frank Dandy.  I have to stay I am really happy with the fit, material, and overall styling.  I will definitely revisit Frank Dandy again.

The Bike #10 jockstrap is the one that started it all and for many, there simply hasn’t been a better jockstrap made since. The great news is that for the next 2 days, until Friday, October 15th at midnight Jockstrap Central has got them marked down 15%.

Something to consider: The Bike #10s have been discontinued for the North American market and Jockstrap Central is fearful that their days may be numbered from their European supplier as well.

They’ve got the Number Tens in classic white, red, blue, black and gold plus they’ve also marked the Bike classic swimmer jocks down as well.

Remember, act quickly to take advantage of this great offer at Jockstrap Central

Nothing beats the soft touch and comfort of ribbed cotton. Enjoy a classic look from Baskit’s Ribbed Collection. We started with high quality 100% cotton drop needle fabric and dyed it old-school varsity inspired colors like navy, charcoal, sand and two greens then finished it with a sharp looking striped waistband.

Like every piece of Baskit underwear, the garment is form fitting and with modernized shape, not to mention triple stitched to last you longer then any other pair of underwear you own.
Match it with our Ribbed Tank and you have an educated and sexy look ready for the bed sheets or the locker room.
