UN81-12-D

It’s Underwear of the week and the second week is Thong week. As Brandon has said on the site, every guy needs to try a thong regardless of who you are. We agree and think we should give every underwear a chance. Heck I am even going to review a boxer soon! So stepping out side your underwear comfort zone is a good thing.

We think this thong, the N2N Bodywear Air G is a perfect first time thong. The Air line is one made out of super light weight material that seems like you aren’t wearing any underwear at all. We have reviewed several of the other in the line and all performed great. That means it will be made to fit will be just as great!

Reasons this thong is our underwear of the week:

  • Made from super light weight material
  • Great almost there fit of the Air line
  • Perfect starter thong for the guy wanting to try them
  • Low rise fit and smaller waist band
  • Available in Black, White and Cream
  • 60% polyester/32% Rayon/8% spandex

You can find the the N2N Air G on the N2N Bodywear Site for $19. Also we welcome nominations from readers! So send us your suggestions!

I really love the look of long boxers. I don’t know what it is about them but I just look cool to me. But looking cool and fitting well are two different things. Over the last few years I got to try just about everything Cocksox has to offer except the boxer briefs. I felt it was time I step outside my briefs box and try the ones I really like.

I got a size large, which definitely fit very well. If you are a 36-38 you should have no trouble with these. They are made out of 95% cotton/5% Lycra blend and really conform to your body. The pouch is one thing that really worried me. Not a lot of boxer briefs makers get a great pouch. There did have a good pouch, not like the bikinis but still good none the less. I prefer the bikinis to boxers, but these did fit nicely through out the day. They didn’t require any major adjustments or drove me crazy.

The day I wore these to work was a day I didn’t know I was going to be quite so active. It was not a day I sat at a desk, rather ran all over the office and was on the go for about 5 hours. This was good because the longer legs gave me more support and got to test out the “active” in the Cocksox Active. They did a great job. Now these won’t be my go to pair but they are good ones. These are perfect for a winter’s day when it’s going to be cold and you don’t want to wear long johns.

I really liked the materials and fit of these. As I have said I love the look of longer boxer briefs. I am glad I stepped outside my briefs box and tried them. I wish the pouch matched the other briefs Cocksox makes, but I think that is more difficult with a boxer brief/trunk. These would be great for working out or another activity where you need the support in your legs and else where. My owe complaint is the waistband. I love a great waistband and these have a low key one. They wouldn’t have to be crazy but something classic and fun.

Pros:

  • Great materials
  • Good support through out the day
  • A sleek looking pair of boxer briefs

Cons:

  • Wish had the same pouch as the briefs
  • Needs a flashier waistband

Ratings:

  • Fit  – 4.5
  • Materials – 5
  • Construction – 5
  • Look – 4.5
  • Daily Wear – 4.5
  • Over all  – 4.7

Designer Andrew Christian continues to be a ground breaker in the fashion industry, with his release of the first ever fashion underwear for men who have a larger endowment.

“Trophy Boy” allows men that are hung to hang free and be comfortable. The new iconic “Trophy Boy” black and gold waistband (like the black and gold Magnum condom package” signifies to everyone that you are packing “heat” in all the right places. This brief has the same comfort as the Andrew Christian Almost Naked collection with more room in front, just where you need it. When you pull them on it feels like you’re not wearing any underwear at all and your package falls naturally into the super soft snuggle pocket to create a truly enjoyable unique wearing experience. This underwear is constructed from super soft rayon made from super soft bamboo fiber. Trophy Boy comes in black, white, and aqua and features dual contrasting fashion detailed leg openings.

We just launched UNB Photo and this came to my email box today. If you are familiar with Gregg Homme, they are seeking a new model for their new line. It will shoot in Montreal in January from the 15-20th. This is perfect for an up and coming model. Some things to know:

  • If familiar with previous campaigns, be well built and handsome
  • Must be ok with nudity as several pieces are see through.
  • Gregg Homme makes skimpy sexy undies so thongs, bikinis and jocks will be photographed.

That said if you feel you have the right stuff then email marketing@gregghomme.com with pics. It would be great to find a UNB reader as the next model.

Today is Tuesday and that mean’s it’s time for a great deal on a great pair of undies. This week’s pair from Baskit is the Burnout Jock Brief. I have recently started wearing jock briefs and they are great to wear. If you’ve never worn the now is the time to check them out! I think you will love them! It’s $12 just today, while there check out the rest on sale on the specials page.

Are you a fan of our Brief Distractions? Do you love finding new photographers and models? If you answered yes to either question then UNB Photography is geared towards you! We are going to team up with some of the best photographers and models in the US and abroad to make great pictures and show case their work! We have launched the Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/unbphotography. It features some of the great pictures we took in the last year. We are growing and doing more of our own work.

What you can expect on this site is great pictures and interviews. We want to profile the people you rarely hear about in the world of underwear. The models and photographers. We know there are many photographers and models with big followings and think they should be celebrated. The site will be live in the next week at http://unb-photography.com. Remember to put in the – in the name!

The picture above is one we commissioned from Scott Barnes and we will have another shoot from him soon!

Tell us about Garcon Model, how did you guys get started in the Men’s Underwear world? 

In 2012 we were inspired to manufacture high-end and high quality men’s underwear for the every-day wear. We’ve tried hundred of different brands, style and colors and their wasn’t anything that we truly liked; So we decided why not make our own brand that would please modern men. We wanted men to feel sharp and confident in their style of underwear whether they worn it under a suit, at the gym or under a pair of jeans. We also designed the fabric to be ultra comfortable, and convenient for today’s activities with iron-free technology and moisture-wicking properties.

You have just recently launched, what are the styles you currently offer?

A year in the making of carefully selecting the fabric, shape, colors and the right type of stitching is what is making our brand a top quality brand. We’ve focused our energy on 15 great pairs for people to start with! Our sexy collection of briefs, trunks and boxers comes in 5 classic colors.

The photography you guys did for the launch is amazing, was there a theme behind the pictures? Where was your location?

Selecting the right models and location took months, after extended research we found the right spot and models in Croatia. We were looking for a unique location that would be eye catching for our customers. We’ve also shot a behind the scene footage for our fans at www.youtube.com/garconmodel !

What inspires you guys to create new underwear? 

Our slogan at Garçon Model™ is “Undress for success”. With this philosophy in mind, we wanted to offer masculine classic designs that would look sharp and even eye-catching in any occasions. Our customers appreciate this sense of luxury and masculinity in our designs.

Where can our readers find you?

In February, we will be partnering with a very talented designer at New York Fashion week.  And of course, Garçon Model can be found online at www.garconmodel.com or via our social media channels: Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, etc…

Iconic Aussie underwear brand 2wink Australia are heating things up in the southern hemisphere by adding two new ranges of swimwear briefs to its summer collection, entitled “40 Degrees & 38 Degrees”.  That’s 104 & 100 Fahrenheit for those in the USA & others.    Once again the new ranges highlight a removable “Bulge Booster” pouch substituting for those cold water moments.

The “38 Degrees” range has two front square coloured panels one of cool blue and the other of white with opposite coloured leg trims.  To bring to light the rear, matching cool blue snugs the behind.  Heating things up to “40 Degrees” 2wink replaced the cool blue panel with a sizzling hot peach.  Both designs have a draw-string neatly hidden inside and centred to the waistband.  Each pair includes the “Bulge Booster” foam mould that can be inserted into or removed from the inside pocket in the front pouch. Branding the design and nicely positioned to the front is the Company’s rubber logo.

The ranges were shot at popular Australian beach, Cottesloe in Western Australia, Headquarters of 2wink on a warm Aussie summer’s day.   “We were in the middle of the shoot when the crew of the Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club came to investigate a growing crowd.  Before the crew knew it, we had them posing next to the models with much excitement” says 2wink Australian co-owner Carl McNeill.  “The girls and the guys from the Surf Life Saving Club enjoyed having their photo taking with the models and it added a buzz to an already hot summers day”

The 100% Aussie-made 40 Degrees & 38 Degrees swimsuits are made from the finest imported Italian Nylon.  The physique-showcasing swim briefs are fully lined to the front.  Each swimsuit retails for around $54.95 AUD (free worldwide shipping), and are available exclusively online at www.2wink.com.au.
