I was excited to receive Cover male’s bikini brief in royal blue as I had the chance to try their running short a few weeks back and was a fan.  All the things I loved about the running short were here in the bikini brief in a more wearable and supportive style.  The poly/spandex blend feels great on and these fit great.

I wore these to work and to then to the gym.  They functioned great for both situations.  The pair offered comfort during the workday and felt great, and enough support while I worked out.  I really enjoyed wearing to the gym because they didn’t feel bulky under my gym shorts.  I’m looking forward to wearing these around the pool in the summer; they flatter the body with the right cut like a sexy speedo.  I think they’ll function well in the water, I mean a semi-private pool anyway.  The royal blue color is fun and summery and will definitely draw some attention.

Pros

• Fit
• Function

Cons

• None!

Cover Male‘s ‘Running Short’ takes the traditional running short and sexes it up with a high slit on the side.  This short is really designed well. At first look I thought these would not provide much support in the front but upon trying them, the shorts held everything in place. These are great for working out or just lounging around.  The fabric is a poly/spandex blend that is so light, you feel like your not wearing anything.

I’d say the view is better from the back as you’ll feel the fabric grazing your back side and allowing for some tiny spilling out the back. However, the front is very flat and does not accentuate the package much.  These function well as a workout short, and would be perfect for practicing yoga in private.  I would not recommend wearing these as underwear as the fabric is loose and may give off a strange looking VPL if you’re wearing a fitted pair of jeans or pants.

I tested these out when I had some time to workout at home before heading into the office.  I must say they really functioned well as workout shorts. Admittedly, I did not run in these so I’m not sure how much support they’d provide to a runner.  The support for squatting and doing lunges was adequate though.  It was also fun to stretch in these, as they were not constricting like normal underwear.

Pros

• Comfort
• Functional for exercise

Cons

• Front appearance
