Today’s Brief Distraction is from Timoteo! They have been super busy this year with new lines coming out! We profiled the new Cellblock13 a few weeks ago! This is part of the new Sport 2.0 collection. The model is Joe Pace and it was photographed by Timoteo himself! Enjoy and check out the new Sport 2.0 line!
With most good underwear, at some point during a day of wear, you should start to forget that you’re wearing underwear and not notice it. Thongs seem to be the exception to this rule as a good thong while not making you think about it all day. It will every once in a while rub the right way to remind you that it’s there. Made of a nylon, elastane, and lycra mix, the Bum-Chums Black Sneak Peek Thong does just that in all the right ways.
While a bit timid to immediately wear the thong for a full day, I felt ballsy (no pun intended) one day and decided to go for it. I’m very glad I did. They were extremely comfortable and every once in a while I’d move my body in a way that the thong strap would rub in just the right way. When that happens, it just makes you feel sexy for just that one instant, no matter where you are or what else you are wearing.
Speaking of sexy, these are sure to get some looks in (and out) of the bedroom. The mesh is beautiful and the shape of the underwear, both back and front is fantastic framing everything perfectly. The only place you may not want to wear them is the gym (between the thong rubbing, and the mesh not hiding anything, it may not be the appropriate activewear)
This underwear is a fantastic all-around thong. It’s smooth, sexy, comfortable and appropriate for everyday wear. Next time you think about being a little daring in everyday life, I highly recommend trying out the Bum-Chums Black Sneak Peek Thong!

Today’s Brief Distraction features model Benjamin Godfre. You may have seen him in pictures from Timoteo and more. This shot he is wearing Todd Sanfield Underwear. We will have an interview with Todd coming soon so stay tuned!
I am reviewing the Malebasics Micro Thong. This thong comes in four colors (red, black, turquoise, and white.) and I reviewed the white pair. The contoured low-rise design of the pouch is made of a brushed Micro-Fiber material (Nylon 85% Spandex 15%). I usually prefer the pouch to be made from one piece of fabric with the lower half sewn together to form the cup of the pouch. This thong pouch is made from two pieces of fabric. A vertical seam is in the front. It is a thin material that is soft to the touch. It also breathes well to insure comfort during the day. The waistband and thong strap are thin pieces of elastic that have a great amount of stretch.
The description of this product online stated that it is great for active life. I decided to do an extra hard work out at the gym to test their statement. I spent about two hours doing cardio, weights and stretching. I have to be honest and tell you that it seemed like. Was naked under my gym shorts. I hardly felt any underwear the entire time I was going through my sets and routine. Normally if you sit in a thong too long the strap in the back can begin to feel tighter. I never once had to adjust the waistband or the strap. When i was in the locker room the pouch had been pulled lower than where it started. I also wish the front seam had more of a curve to the design to avoid the flattening that occurred in the pouch. Now keep in mind that since this garment is made as a small/medium there are going to be different experiences with fit in each person. The rest of the day I decided to keep the thong on. The material is so lightweight i wasn’t wearing a sweat soaked pair of underwear. I just held it under a hand dryer and it was dry in minutes. (Yet another advantage of wearing a thong!!!!) The rest of the day I walked around doing errands before finally heading home. I relaxed on my couch in just my thong. This is definitely going to be something i wear to stay cool when the hot summers of NYC start. I slept in it as well and woke up under my covers thinking i was naked. Malebasics needs to rename it “almost naked thong”.
I really enjoyed the ease of this thong. You put it on and never need to fix or fiddle with the strap or pouch. Visually I was displeased with the placement of the tag on the inside of the pouch. Since the fabric is white and also very thin the label is visible through the front. Simple solution was just cutting the label out. This seems to be an issue with many thongs I review. There just never seems to be a consistent solution for the tag when it comes to designing thongs for men. The little details I didn’t like are all just personal preference and should deter you from picking up this sexy thong. Who doesn’t like putting on a pair of underwear and feeling like they are naked. It’s a great thong for every guy out there.

Yesterday we shot the 2012 UNB Swimwear Guide. We did it just outside Atlanta on a lake and had three models. It was a busy day but a really fun day. We started the day around 7 am and didn’t finish until 4 PM. It will be out in the next week or so. Unfortunately Ben the model form last year wasn’t in it but, we got some great ones you will like.
Today we have another awesome pic from the Mundo Unico Store! This is the new collection that was just released. If you are a fan of Unico you definitely need to check the collection out!
Are you a fan of mesh underwear? If so then you need to check out the Dandy Mesh collection from Undergear.com.
New from Extreme this month is the Dandy Mesh collection which features ultra-soft stretch mesh, black ribbed accents, and sexy stripes that open up lots of possibilities. We love the idea of wearing the underwear on warm summer days and layering the mesh tank underneath an open shirt for a night out. As you can see from the photos, the mesh fabric is not too revealing!

Gregg Homme provided us at Underwear News Briefs with several fantastic pairs of underwear and I was lucky enough to get the red PERFEKBUM pair in the square cut brief. This pair was quite exciting to try as I enjoy trying undies, especially those that are new and have some sort of interesting bit of a new concept to them.
The Hyperstretch microfiber fabric is designed to cling to the curvature of the body and it did its job well. The fabric was soft and ultimately felt like a second skin against my body. The square cut brief in size large was a great fit and true to sizing.
After opening the package and trying on the brief, I found the quality to be excellent, the look was overwhelmingly sexy, the fabric soft and supple, and the rear were magnificent. The pouch was conforming, comfortable, and lifting while the one inch waistband with the Gregg Homme logo patch placed on the center front. The new and exciting bit about this pair of briefs was the elastic cord that runs from the base of the pouch between the buttocks and connects to the center of the back of the waistband. This was the perfect addition to this brief to outline the buttocks and provide greater definition and curvature to the rear. In addition to the elastic enhancing cord, there is a lip opening below the waistband in the rear where the cord connects to prevent unwanted stretching and bunching of the fabric. I thoroughly enjoyed the overall look of the brief with the way it was cut, was taut against the body, the rich coloring of the red, and the feel of the fabric.
I wore this Gregg Homme square cut brief from beginning of the day until the very end of the evening. I began the day with working from home on class related grading. I shopped for groceries later in the afternoon. After resting for a bit, I headed out to a new club I am beginning to call my second home. After sitting, chatting, dancing, and some showing of my undies to my friends for thoughts on the pair, I can say that these briefs held up the entire day and felt great the entire time I had them on. The elastic cord that provided a nice separation of the buttocks never was uncomfortable or had to be adjusted during the day for being irritating or out of place.
Overall, I majorly enjoyed this pair of underwear. I liked the tightness of the rear, the feel of the fabric, the look of the brief, the stretchy pouch, and the elastic cord that helped define my rear. I found this pair to make me feel sexy, be rather erotic, and was comfortable all day while going about my activities. This would be a perfect pair of underwear for any guy wanting to show off his rear a bit or add some definition. In general, I have no complaints about this brief other than I suggest washing it by hand due to the fabric composition and cord just in case the cord catches on some other articles of clothing and causes a natural disaster in your washer. Now, the price may cause some guys to shy away from this particular pair of underwear, but it is a specialty pair of underwear that has some great features that will only create a wonderful look for the wearer and provide some added confidence.

This pair of underwear was furnished by, Gregg Homme, and may be found on their website for $41.95.
This year at Curve, I got a chance to sit down with Gregg Homme and see the new line. I will admit this is one of the best things about the blog, seeing undies months before the general public. Gregg Homme always swears me to secrecy until the line comes out. So, if you ask me, I will deny everything!
The new line really impressed me. It’s a very cohesive underwear collection. Everything to me flows together. There are many times I go and see collections and they are not designed to work together. To borrow something from Project Runway, I could see one guy owning every piece of this collection.
Gregg Homme really excels at fabric selection. I got to try the Voyeur brief and it felt amazing to me. It was super stretchy and conformed to my body. Other pairs in the collection share this care for fabric selection.
I have said this many times and will continue to say, “Gregg Homme does sexy, and does sexy well.” All too often you buy a super sexy pair of underwear and get through the day and it just fails. I doubt you will have this from Gregg Homme. Well, you could wear the Master to work; wearing armbands attached to your underwear could be a bit much. However the arm cuffs do detach!
This week each day we have more and more about the collection. Here today I thought I would do something different and you see the notes I wrote up while at Curve. Here are my reactions to the line as it was shown to me!
Go to the Gregg Homme site and see all the styles. They are amazing and fun. I will say this one of the my favorite collections of the year!
Today’s Brief Distraction from Gregg Homme is the Glory! Gregg Homme’s exotic & erotic GLORY string instigates the wearer to shamelessly rejoice in new sensations and entertain naughty ideas… after all, what good are naughty ideas if you can’t act them out? The GLORY string masterfully merges sheer and rubber-look elements while including sturdy rivets for that tough edge.

Gregg Homme’s own website stated it best. This piece is “blisteringly sexy”. The Gregg Homme Hot Shot Booty Shorts are a statement beyond any other this reviewer has seen. With their criss-crossing elastic side panels, discreet metal rings, and ‘liquid touch’ fabric this gladiator style undergarment is more than your typical short. It is a magnet for attraction.
The beauty of the piece does have its limits, however. There are certain things anyone looking for a piece of sexy underwear should know. This type of underwear is not what I would call an everyday wear piece. Instead this is definitely designed and meant for special occasions. In a similar way that a woman buys a piece of lingerie, this is lingerie for men. I have to state this because after wearing it under a pair for jeans for a few hours, the elastic stitching popped on one of the criss crosses. That does not mean it was uncomfortable, it simply means I think the movement was too much for the stitching to handle.
Throughout the day of wearing, this piece stayed extremely comfortable. The brief style top to the rear in conjunction with the thong base took a little getting used to; however, after wearing for about 10 minutes it was extremely comfortable. I greatly enjoyed the hybrid style of the back. Not to mention that the hybrid was wonderful at showing off certain assets, in both the front and back. Add to that the fact that the fabric is cool and sleek and this piece is a pleasure to wear.
Coming in all sizes and 4 colors (Black, white, red and purple) this piece is a must have for any man that is looking to show off his Roman side and have a sexy piece to show off all of the important assets.

These were furnished for review by Gregg Homme
What were the inspirations for each line, is there a story behind them?
The inspirations of our collections come from all different angles: we travel a lot, we read a lot, we web-surf a lot, so we are constantly bombarded by thousands of images from fields that are not necessary fashion. We are also constantly solicited by our fans sharing their needs and fantasies and finally, we have an incredible creative team. All this put together reflects in our collections. As crazy as it may sound, a regular item from the day to day life could be the starting point of a new seem, a new fit or an extraordinary underwear innovative design.
Gregg Homme is known for its incredible use of super soft and stretchy materials, can you tell us about what you used in this collection
Our recent Liquid Touch Hyperstretch Microfiber that we timidly introduced in the KINK of the past season is making a definite statement in this new collection: there no words in the dictionary to explain the tactile sensation of that fabric. The sponginess and silkiness and that fabric is simply beyond words and to this day, everyone who ever touched that fabric looked back at us totally mesmerized, trying to describe that incredible sensation. If you get that feeling on your hand, you can just imagine what it feels like when you actually wear it.
Gregg Homme, for the last few years, has done amazing videos; tell us about this year’s video.
There are no doubts about that; our videos are tattooed with fantasies and sensuality. Our fans not only appreciate them but keep asking for more. This new campaign is exploring the angle of the Urban Spy Voyeurism: who can pretend not being drawn to check the cute neighbor walking around his apartment in his underwear?
Where did you get the idea for the plot?
We are well surrounded by a very gifted creative team: there is a perfect synergy between the internal staff and the outside agencies putting all the results together.
Today’s Brief Distraction is the Perfekbum from Gregg Homme. The very well-rounded PERFEKBȖM collection is yet another ground-breaking creation by Gregg Homme that endows the wearer with fuller, better defined buttocks, especially beneath gym pants and similar thin-fabric bottoms. The clever little secret is an elastic string bum outliner sewn just under and behind the pouch, running between both cheeks (but not like a thong – the elastic string runs on the outside of the garment!) and up to the middle back of the waistband. Made from a liquid-touch, hyperstretch microfiber for maximum comfort and minimum worry, the PERFEKBȖM collection is the perfeckt addition to the fashion-forward thinking man’s wardrobe!
Find these at the Gregg Homme Site!

I am reviewing this fantastic Glory String thong by Gregg Homme. This black thong is made of 76% Nylon and 24% Spandex. The waistband and straps around the pouch has the look of rubber or leather. The straps framing the pouch fit perfectly. It seemed as if I had gone to a fitting to have this underwear built for me because the waistband was such a perfect fit. The thong strap was another piece of spandex but with a matte finish and has more stretch to it than the waistband. The pouch is a very thin and luxuriously soft spandex and seemed like it was a miliskin spandex but the label doesn’t specify. Overall, the materials were a great combination to create this thong. The first thing i did was remove the big white tag sticking out of the back of the waistband. Its easy to rip off and I suggest you do that before wearing them.
So when I put on this thong it immediately felt like it was a second skin and I was going to really put it to the test. First stop was the gym. I did my usual routine of weights, core and running. It doesn’t happen often but I forgot that I had on this thong. The pouch is so soft and stretchy that I never needed to adjust and it is engineered to really hold you in place. After the gym I had tickets to see an Off Broadway show. This is usually the real test for me with a thong. If I can sit through two and a half hours without any discomfort than I know a thong is a keeper and it passed this test. After the show I spent a few hours hanging out with friends before heading home. If Gregg Homme made more color options I might just wear this style everyday. When I got home there was more activity with the thong but this isn’t that kind of site. But let’s just say everyone liked it.
Every guy who is an underwear enthusiast should have own some staple brands in their collection. Some might be more expensive than others but I can’t urge you more to make sure that you have at least one pair of Gregg Homme’s underwear in your drawer. As a man that wears thongs I have always admired the collections they design. There is a masculinity in their work even when it is just a few skimpy straps. I can be very picky when it comes to my thongs. They need to be comfortable, well designed, made from good materials and the craftsmanship needs to be excellent. The Glory String is all that and it still conveys a sensual masculinity. This is not my first pair of Gregg Homme and it certainly won’t be my last.
