Review – PIK-8635 Candy Jumbo Brief

No Comments

pikante-review

Recently, I have had the pleasure of reviewing Pikante’s Candy Jumbo Brief. The pair which I received is a small, colored in a light red color with black accents and is constructed using a fabric blend of 86% polyester and 14% spandex. The Pikante logo is stiched into the black waistband.  This pair has a simple look which I really enjoy as it adds a certain simplicity to the brief. The front pouch is covered with a see through mesh material different to the other material used to construct the pair. Personally, I am not a huge mesh guy, but if you are interested in showing off once in awhile, this pair should certainly fit the bill.

The day in which I reviewed this brief was very busy.  From classes in the morning to an hour run in the evening, I was able to put this pair of underwear through many tests and I must say that it performed very well. The polyester/spandex material used to make the rear panel feels amazing against my skin. It did tend to ride up very slightly, but I never really noticed it. This brief performed well too during my workout. Everything up front was held up and supported as I expected, but I will say that near the end of the run, my package was beginning to moderately chafe which I would attribute to the mesh fabric of the pouch. Along with this, while this brief is very comfortable, it’s not the best choice to wear under shorts while running for a long period of time. That is the  cold air mixed with the exposed front pouch.

Pikante terms this underwear as a brief but after wearing it, I would term it more as a string bikini. With completely revealing sides and limited seat coverage, it reminded me much more of the string bikinis I have seen in the past. This is by no means a complaint, but more a general comment of my experience.

This was my first time wearing a Pikante product and while I very much enjoyed wearing this brief (bikini), I don’t anticipate wearing it on a frequent basis due to its revealing nature.

Pros:

  • Fantastic fabric blend in the rear
  • Strong waistband
  • High leg cut

Cons:

  • Not best for winter wear
  • Exposing front pouch
  • Front fabric chafes during extended physical activity

Ratings

  • Fit: 4
  • Material: 4
  • Construction: 4
  • Look: 4
  • Daily Wear: 3
  • Overall: 3.8

Pikante furnished this pair for revew.

    jo d
  • Sexy pouch, great fabric and a waistband that stays where you put it!
  • They are fab – Paul R
  • la matière du modèle Charged de Gregg homme est à la fois une matière contre la sudation et aussi une matière sexy du fait que la maille est semie transparente le fait d’avoir une couleur différente sur le même produit et la touche finale via la ceinture sexy (I was going to post the Google Translate as well but it made no sense, so enjoy it in French)

We hope you will check out the the Charged Jock and maybe pick one up for Valentines Day! Find this pair and more at the Gregg Homme website

Complimentary to the pouch, a 1 inch plushed elastic travels from the top of the pouch, parallel to the waistband, to the back and becomes the leg straps of the jock. To add an extra dash of style, those straps have a centered contrasting stripe running through them. Stunning.

Calvin Klein Has the First Men’s Underwear Super Bowl Ad

No Comments

elle-calvin-klein-underwear-spring-2013

It should be heralded as a triumph for the men’s Underwear Industry. A major underwear company ran a men’s underwear ad. Last year David Beckham ran one for his H&M line and now Calvin Klein this year.  Men’s Underwear is coming into their own and going mainstream. Its no secret underwear is not for gay guys. This blog is the perfect example of what’s happening in the US. This past year we have gained more straight readers and have some straight staffers (the one with a great opinion on undies is Brandon). Everyone is finding out, men need to pay attention to their underwear.

You think that this would be a piece praising Calvin Klein for taking a risk in one of the most watched events of the year.  However, I have a bone to pick with the “main stream” media reporting on the ads. The one I have the most problem with is the USA Today Ad Meter. Every year they rate the ads and post scores. Many companies want one of the coveted top 10 spots. They spend millions to reach that goal. Here’s my gripe, USA Today has the ad in the bottom 5 ads.  Granted, I wasn’t expecting it to be in the top 10, but there were many worse ads in the bunch.

I feel because it was a men’s underwear ad . The main Part of this is the puritanical view of the US and men’s underwear. It’s not supposed to be talked about. However we can have Victoria Secrets ads  and even scantily clad women but you can’t show a man. Calvin Klein made an ad that was in line with their brand. If you remember last year’s David Beckham ad, you never saw much below the waistband. It was like they were afraid to show his package. This ad showed the guy running and in the underwear. So that we have gained some ground.

I am curious to what you guys think of the ad. Did you like it? What Brand do you think should be the next to run a Super Bowl Commercial? One that comes to mind is what would Andrew Christian do for a Super Bowl Commercial?

2wink Australia SEXYBOY TRUNKS

Popular Aussie underwear brand 2wink Australia are spicing up their underwear range by adding two new designs of low rider trunks to its collection, entitled “Sexyboy”. The new ranges sparkle with the help of a metallic waistband with brand name 2wink embroided in black.

Red looks sexy in anyone’s eyes and the new ranges come in an Aussie desert red and popular boys color blue called Aussie reef blue. The sex appeal is in the low rider cut with the front pouch cupping and lifting your manhood whilst the cotton / spandex fabric snug your behind giving a firm grip. 2wink added some dazzle by including a metallic waistband that sparkles when captured by light. Adding a masculine look is the exposed external black cross-stitching and black binding around the leg holes with a sporty “v join” on the side.

The Sexyboy title is well suited to the low rider trunks, sex appeal is captured in every angle and certainly designed to attract attention. “We wanted a design for guys to look sexy and for them to show off their body.” says 2wink Australia co-owner Carl McNeill.

The 100% Aussie-made Sexyboy low rider trunks are made from a cotton / spandex mix. Each trunk retails for around $24.95 AUD (free worldwide shipping), and are available exclusively online at www.2wink.com.au.
