Wildmant is having a pick of the week. It’s the WT: Boxer Brief. it’s right now for $14 on the Wildmant site!

Just in at Jockstrap Central: The Colombians are sexing it up yet again with this hot new jock from Intymen featuring a pouch designed to maximize your bulge. The inner panel has a built in C-ring to put your boys through so it can rest flush against your body while providing lift. An outer pouch cradles your boys and attaches minimally to the bottom of the inner panel for a wonderful free-swinging feeling.

While very similar to Jockstrap Central’s best-selling Joe Snyder Launch Jockstrap, this one is made of a super soft cotton with a bit more room in the pouch department.

Over at Jockstrap Central their not-so-shy models Adam Stray and Ryan Russell not only model the Fill-it Jocks but also demonstrate the C-ring. We probably don’t need to tell you, but those photos are definitely not safe for work or viewing in front of your parents.”

Mundo Unico is sponsoring Mark Bocek. Mark is currently an UFC Fighter. Mark Bocek’s (UFC fighters) favorite brand of undies is Unico. Here you can see him sporting the Reto short boxers for the weight in prior to the fight on December 11th, 2010. The fight was a victory for Mark who won on the first round. It looks like Mundo Unico are his lucky undies

We all have one; That favorite pair of undies, that pair we always keep coming back to. Let’s face it, these favorite pairs get worn a lot and get worn out. When is it time to say “Sayonara” and finally let go? Though it may pain you to do so, there are some tell tale signs that your favorite pair of underwear needs to be sent packing:

  • Rips and Holes: Sure it can look stylish and sexy for jeans, but if you can see bits you don’t need or intend to show, its time to let go.
  • Elastic Waistband Death : Fairly straightforward, if they can’t stay up on their own then you probably shouldn’t be wearing them. Wardrobe malfunction just waiting to happen.
  • Stains: Gross. Enough said.
  • Overwashed Fabric: Is paper tissue stronger than your undies? Toss em!
  • Shame : Would you want to be caught dead in them?

So now that you’re able to move on, what are your options? Here are a few things you can try.

  • If you have the room, just keep them as a memento! Honestly, I have a couple pairs from my past that just sit on the bottom of my drawer. I know they are there but I never wear them. Call me crazy!
  • See if your favorite style is still available – Check the designer web page to see if the style can be still ordered. If not check ebay or a similar online auction site. Some stores like TJMaxx and Marshall’s often carry styles that are no longer available in regular retail stores.
  • This might seem a bit strange but use the fabric for a craft project. Just from a simple internet search, I was able to find instructions on how to turn old (clean) undies into a book cover or even a wallet!
  • My favorite option – Use it as an excuse to find a new pair. Out with the old and in with the new! Find a new favorite, and learn from your last favorite pair….stock up!

So UNB readers, do you have any other ideas for old undies or a story about a pair you can’t part with? Comment away!

Hey UNB readers! I’m Kevin and am happy to be helping Tim out and the UNB gang putting in my 2 cents about one of my favorite things…underwear! Finally I get a chance to put a good use to my obsession. Ever since I was a kid and got my first pair of “Underoos” I was hooked! Now my underwear drawers…that’s right plural… overflow with fun styles and comfortable pairs. I look forward to giving you guys my honest opinion in the days to come.

We just got word from KnickersXY about the store opening. We love finding new places to buy underwear. To me a smaller store is much more fun to shop in, the staff is more knowledgeable and better customer service. Here is what they sent us about the store.

Forget what you know about men’s fashion in a new age because we are going retro.  Knickers XY, a unique men’s lifestyle store, provides an edgy yet sophisticated shopping experience in the heart of Hyde Park in Cincinnati.  On top of offering high-end, niche brands like: Andrew Christian, 2(x)ist, Diesel, Papi and Pull-in, Knickers XY also features a modern barbershop that would make Don Draper quiver.

When one walks into the store on Hyde Park Square it’s like leaving the Midwest completely.  Surrounded by sexy undies, house music and comfortable active wear is what Knickers XY refers to as, “The Vault.”  This portion of the store is dedicated to all sorts of shaving and skincare products from Nickel and Art of Shaving, to Alchimie and Grooming Lounge.

“We wanted to be a unique, destination location not only for Cincinnati, but for the region”, said David Fender, COO of Knickers XY.  “There is nothing like us anywhere else, not even New York.”

Though Knickers XY will not be pursuing online sales the trip to the store is part of the experience.  You could be the manliest, man’s man and still have a ball shopping in this store!  Then one must factor in the Salzano Brother’s Barbershop located in the heart of the store.  Fresh off their accolade from Cincinnati Magazine as “Best Shave in the City”, the Salzano’s offer fashion-forward men’s haircuts, facial and hot towel services, as well as skin treatments, which help prevent aging.

The store is a great event space too.  There is an entire area that overlooks the selling floor, which makes for an awesome area to throw a party.  “We welcome any and all types of events in the store, mainly because we are proud of the space we have built,” said Austin Lutz, store manager.

Knickers XY is located at 2717 Erie Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45208 and online at www.knickersxy.com.  Find them on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/KnickersXY and on Twitter @KnickersXY.  They are open Mon-Sat 10a-8p and Sun 11a-6p.

We got some of these images from Beyond Big Branding and they told us about this effort. Its not too much underwear related but it’s a good cause! Here is the info from the creators:

My name is Rob and I am one of 2 riders from my restaurant, Score On Davie, taking part in the ride to conquer cancer, a 2 day bike ride from Vancouver to Seattle, raising money and awareness for the BC Cancer Foundation. To take part in the ride, we each have to raise a minimum of $2500…this is our second year participating and our focus this year was on male cancers(prostate, testicular, etc) and the impact diet and exercise can have on the prevention of cancer in males. Joe Kendrick(my colleague/co-rider) is a phenomenal photographer and you see the result…the calendars are $20 each with all proceeds going to the ride…we are hoping to raise at least $15,000 in the Vancouver area and we need people to get out there and buy them for this amazing cause!

You can purchase the calendar from: http://littlesisters.ca/blog/?p=1092 The cost is $20 plus shipping and handling

After several years of market research and development Bruce Brodsho, President and owner of Eco2wear, announces the introduction to the market place of woodiees, a men’s underwear collection that will revolutionize the way men buy and wear underwear. Yes, the brand name is a bit risqué however it is derived from the simple fact that the material used is made from actual wood from the Eucalyptus tree.  Their slogan- “We work hard to make ‘em soft,” says it all.  woodiees is made from TENCEL®, a natural fabric derived from the wood cellulose from the Eucalyptus tree with minimal impact on the environment and with the responsible use of energy and water.  TENCEL®  fibers are naturally pure and contain no bleach, pesticides or agricultural chemicals.  woodiees are the world’s most comfortable underwear while being eco friendly.   For more information go to TENCEL®’s website at-  www.lenzing.com.

Don’t let the cold get you down. Andrew Christian introduces the Shock Jock Flirt Underwear with Male Features. The Shock Jock Flirt Boxer and Brief features a soft hidden cup that not only adds inches onto your frontal measurement but also is sculpted with a penis shape to give you an anatomically correct look no matter how cold it is outside.

With the Shock Jock Flirt one can add up to 2 inches (5 cm) onto a man’s frontal measurement; that means this is the biggest enhancing and supporting underwear on the market today. The soft cup provides great support and helps protect against zipper injury and is easily removable, making this underwear versatile as well. This underwear is made from 90% soft cotton and 10% Spandex for excellent stretch and recovery. It also features an extra wide metallic silver colored sports elastic waistband and contrast stripes down the front sides.

“Guys want underwear that looks natural, feels great and makes them feel confident. I believe the Shock Jock Flirt accomplishes all of these objectives,” says designer Andrew Christian .

The brief and boxer come in White, Black and every garment in this line is made in the Andrew Christian Design Studio in Los Angeles.
