I always get excited when there is a package in the mail from Tim. It means one thing- more new thongs to try out. Sometimes I am displeased and other times I find a great new thong.  I opened this package and giggled because the thong that was sent was the last color of a style I have been collecting on my own. The N2N Net G-String is one of my favorites. I have already written in my reviews about my love of N2N thong designs. They are really a perfect fit for my body. I already had the tan, white and olive pairs. Now I have the black pair as well.

If you read my thong reviews then I don’t want to repeat myself in terms of the cut, design, and finishing skills that N2N executes with their underwear. In case you haven’t read my review of the LA Haze thong here it is: http://www.underwearnewsbriefs.com/2012/06/review-n2n-bodywear-la-haze/. I am pretty positive that the pattern used to create the Net G is identical.

I wear these thongs for many purposes. It’s always a great item for the beach. No, I a, not saying I wear this by itself. Sometimes when I go away I wear it under soccer or gym shorts. It offers great support and also fast drying so its the perfect “lining” when you have run out of clean swimsuits. I also wear them when I am going to work out. No one wants a sweaty crotch. This pair offers a well ventilated solution when you are doing an extreme workout. I also make it the go to pair when I am going to Bikram yoga.

My only issue is the use of 100% polyester net as the main material. If you wear the thong straight out of the package it can be itchy. The stiff material is easily made comfortable after washing it. So boys- I would recommend this thong for multiple uses but wash it first to soften the material.

Thanks N2N and Tim for completing my collection of this style!

Are you a fan of our Brief Distractions? Do you love amazing photography in men’s underwear/swimwear? Have you liked the pics we have posted of Todd Sansfield? If you answered yes to any of those questions you need to check out DNA Magazine’s DNA Men #1. If you aren’t familiar with DNA Magazine they are a magazine out of Australia. The DNA Men is a new series they are selling through their website. The first issue is out for a limited time and features all pictures.

Todd sent us a few pictures to share of him from the issue. As you can see he graced the cover and had a major spread inside the magazine. We are sharing a few here and also the racier ones on the Underwear News Briefs Tumblr. I do have a copy, I have had it for a few months. It’s a great magazine if you love photography.

N2NBodywear always has great styling, look, and color combination when it comes to their varying underwear styles.  The Ultra Skin Singlet from n2nBodywear in Harvest Gold was a nice singlet to try.  The fabric consists of 83% Nylon and 17% Spandex and provides a soft feel with the perfect amount of stretch and give to the body hugging fabric.  Size large was a great fit.  It seems that the market for wrestling singlets is growing as I consistently see them in photographs on various websites, more and more companies are making them, and I have seen a couple in various real life settings.

Upon first inspection, I found the singlet to be similar to those worn by wrestlers in high school and college, the quality was good, the harvest gold (think a dark yellow) color had grey and black stripes coming from the lower, inner thigh and extending to the upper, outside hip outlined leg openings, black outlined the neck and arm openings, and the leg length was perfect for easy movement and no bunching.  There is no pouch with this singlet which means it shows off the package very well.  This singlet is more of a flat stretchy piece of fabric rather than having an actual pouch and some guys will love it while others do not.

After putting this singlet on and viewing myself in the mirror, size large was a nice fit and looked nice from the front and the back with the n2n logo on the front chest area.  The rear fit well and the singlet moved with my body movements and conformed to the body in a nice way and showed every curve.  The singlet is sewn in two panels for the rear to provide a nice look with the way the seam falls between the buttocks.  Overall, I enjoyed this singlet with the fit and look, but wasn’t a fan of the color combination.  Also, I found it to be extremely sexy and it made me feel sexy while wearing it so I really want to call this erotic/fetish wear.

Overall, this was an enjoyable pair of underwear/activewear/wrestling wear/erotic/fetish wear (not sure what to call it as it is adaptable to various situations).  I liked the feel of the fabric and the look of the singlet.  The price is reasonable for this type of specialty underwear/activewear.  In general, I have a couple of complaints about this singlet.  First, I am not sure where one would really wear this singlet to other than a wrestling “event.”  This leads me to wonder just how many times I will get to wear this singlet and is it worth the money to buy one for one or two wears.  I mean, one is really not going to wear this to the gym, running, sitting at work under your clothes, etc.  Second, washing should provide no problem with the fabric combination, but do not iron.

Are you a fan of sports mesh underwear? We aren’t talking the sexy mesh that is see through, but more of a mesh that breathes with you through out the day? If so then you need to check out the American Jock’s Action Mesh Group by Go Softwear!  It is available in Royal, Black, Red and white. The line features the following styles:

  • Sport Brief
  • “Uncovered” Brief (similar to a jock brief)
  • Jock
  • Square Cut
  • Singlet
  • Tank

The line is made out of 88% polyester 12% spandex. Which makes it conform to your body and perfect for really active guys! Prices range from $18-37. The most expensive being the singlet. To see the line go to the Go Softwear site.

Today’s Brief Distraction is from Jockstrap Central. This is their newest model Marcus. He is wearing the new Baskit Light Jock! There is what Jockstrap Central said about Marcus: “Our latest model Marcus in our newly launched Baskit Light Jocks. You’re going to be seeing lots of Marcus as he’s not only good looking, but he’s got an amazing body and a great attitude. This is his first professional shoot, but I think it’s just the start of a pretty great career.”

Performing in a musical this weekend, singing and dancing, I decided was the perfect opportunity to try out the Pistol Pete Zone Jock. A little untraditional in the setting, the Zone Jock made of 95% cotton and 5 % spandex held up fantastically, keeping everything in place very well.

Lookwise, the Zone Jock is average for a jock, not much flash, nothing very different looking from any other jock. The efficiency of the pouch is where I’ve found the Zone Jock to really shine. The material is extremely soft and comforting while keeping taut hugging everything very nicely preventing very much movement. No bouncy balls here!

While I have reviewed one or two jocks that have not had an issue with the straps in the back rolling, this seems to be a major issue overall in jocks. Unfortunately, the Pistol Pete Zone Jock continues in this trend. Throughout the show (when not on stage), I found myself rearranging the straps so that they sat properly on the bottom of my cheeks.

At $19 from pistolpete.com and available in two attractive color combinations (navy/sky, black/red), the Pistol Pete Zone Jock is a great buy if you’re just looking for a jock. It’s not fancy, but it does the job of a jock very well at a very affordable price.

 

PROS

  • Price
  • Does what a good jock should do
  • Color combinations

CONS

  • Those damn straps that roll (why can most jock companies not get this right?)

Just in from Jockstrap Central, a hot new jock from Baskit and a hot new model named Marcus. Here’s the details:

No matter what Baskit creates, it is a perfect blend of fashion forward style, form and function. Their Light jocks are no exception with their unique brief front and jockstrap-with-a-twist back in four stunning colors. Combine that with their low low price of $15 and you simply can’t go wrong!

The front consists of 3 panels of light summer weight jersey cotton (hence the name) with a center naturally contoured pouch to show off your package to perfection. The back is where you’ll find the stylish twist, like most jocks, the straps start from the waistband, but each side of the brief front attaches to the leg straps creating a sexy design feature.

Both the 1 3/4 inch waistband and the two one inch leg straps have just the right amount of stretch for comfort and support. They both have a woven stripe and repeated Baskit logo design in the highest quality thread count.

Style, comfort and oh so inexpensive – now’s the time to get to Jockstrap Central and get your basket in a Baskit
