The Popsicle G is very similar in design and feel to its thong cousin, the Raider X G.  Like its cousin, the Popsicle G has a particular problem with its thong length.  The Popsicle G does for N2N’s swimwear what the Raider X G does for N2N’s thongs: it shows off the butt and “enhances” certain features (whether or not you need the “enhancing” in the first place).  The Popsicle G features slightly more nylon than the Raider X G(87% vs 86%) in the fabric blend (87% nylon, 17% spandex), but otherwise it feels just like the Raider down to the elastic waistband.  This includes the lack of slack in the thong part of the Popsicle. My pair was dark pink with yellow stenciling, though N2N does give you a choice of yummy colors including: raspberry, glacial blue, lime, orange, and lemon ice.

I had an opportunity to give the Popsicle G a thorough trial in a private, deserted pool, Which was a good thing since the Popsicle became so uncomfortable while swimming around that I opted to just take it off completely and swim naked.  Most of the irritation was from the lack of slack in the thong strap, which loops under the butt to join at the “enhancing” pouch in front.  If there was a little more give in the pouch, the Popsicle G would be really comfortable to wear while swimming, and I am certain that it would grab plenty of attention!

If you haven’t discovered how comfortable and sexy Canadian designer Ryan McKillop’s creations are, then maybe now’s the time. Both his Power series jockstraps and pouches are on sale for 15% off at Jockstrap Central until July 28th.

Both designs, jockstrap and pouch, include a see-through stretch mesh pouch that’s contoured to show off your package. The jockstrap is exactly what you think, it’s a sexy fashion jock with black comfort waistband and matching leg straps. The pouch takes the sexy up a notch with a waistband but ditches the leg straps but adds an elastic cockring to the inside of the pouch that you slip over your shaft and balls so the pouch not only stays in place but gives you the sensation of swinging free.

Jockstrap Central has both the McKillop jocks and pouches in four colors – black, white, turquoise, and green.”

Baskit Wear (www.baskitwear.com), a premium player in the men’s underwear, swimwear and activewear segment, announced the launch of a new brand campaign for 2011 that continues the brand’s goal to reach active men everywhere. With new collections added, Baskit now offers a style of underwear for every man, for every activity and day of the week; reinforcing the name as the go-to brand for stylish men everywhere and their motto, “The brand you dig through your drawer to find.”

The new image and video campaign, produced by photographer Toky Castellanos, kicks off with the redesigned PURE organic underwear collection and ENERGY, the label’s moisture-control underwear offering.  Baskit designer and CEO Eric Schwers commented, “Our goal with this campaign is to broaden our audience while continuing to appeal to our loyal customer base. We set the bar pretty high with last season’s campaign and this one continues that trend, showing our guy in a new perspective. Men who are familiar with our brand know us for good fitting underwear and great designs, but we want to expose them to the active lifestyle element of our brand. We started this two seasons ago when we introduced the jockbrief to market and we’re continuing that with more active cuts and fabrics.  So this campaign plays right into that and the collections allow us to continue our goal of offering our men a style and fit for every occasion.”

To drive the new campaign, Baskit launched a model search contest with gay social networking site Connexion (www.connexion.org).  Baskit’s new photo shoot features Connexion model search winners Billy Dortch from Los Angeles and Washington DC’s Tim Baird along with Jen Gomez and Kody Corduan.  The four hit the beach in the brand’s latest styles to showcase the diverse collection of underwear and swimwear offered.  It’s a visual story of friends gearing up for an overnight camping trip filled with activity and relaxation.  Watch the models mountain climb, set up camp, and enjoy a day of surf and sand; it will have you wanting to throw on your favorite Baskit underwear or swimsuit and live the Baskit brand.

Baskit’s new campaign is set to roll out in four parts. The first set of images and video is available now upon request.   Images feature sexy, athletic shots of the brands’ currently available ActionCool, Light, Ribbed, Burnout, and Snugfit Seamless collections, as well the Fall 2011 collections; Energy and Pure.  The initial images set the tone for the next three parts of the campaign that will be released monthly with up close and personal Q&As with the newest models of the Baskit brand.
