Dead Good Undies sent out this to inform everyone that Ergowear is back in stock!

Apologies for all for another newsletter in the same day BUT I know a lot of people were waiting to know when we were getting the new Ergowear PLUS range of ergonomical design underwear and I didn’t want to wait until next week to send out the news that THEY ARE NOW HERE……

Whats new with the this range from Ergowear is that they’ve come up with this rather nifty design that takes their previous ergonomic style to the next level with a seamless front pouch which gives a fuller, rounder profile.

Personally I love ergowear underwear and in fact im wearing a pair of the PLUS boxers today not only because of their design which is soooo comfy but also because they are a company that actually listens!!! For example when I had my samples for beta testing from them I commented that with the boxers there was a seam across the rear that I felt would of been uncomfortable (and it was). 3 days later Rod from Ergowear is in a Skype Video call with me from Chile showing me the changes they made based on my comments. How cool is that???? a company that listens and then reacts so quickly.

Anyway enough of my excited ramblings as it’s a Friday and the weekend is but a few hours away.
So there you go just pop over to www.deadgoodundies.com to check out why im making such a fuss about the Ergowear PLUS range.

Dead Good Undies has a really great pair of HOM. We profiled them yesterday. They are the new Safe Love Maxi boxer brief. Its a pair that gives money back, not only will it look great on you but you can support an AIDS charity. I love that it shows your support for safer sex. If that’s not for you the new Bruno Banani is out and just know it’s not for everyone! IT would be great for sports or an active guy. Check out all of them at the Dead Good Undies Website!

Dead Good Undies has a great pair of undies that also gives something back. They are the HOM safe love maxi boxer brief (charity edition), which gives monday to AIDS charity Sidaction for every pair sold. These not only give money to charity but it also has a pocket for a condom, just in case you need it! Always be prepared.

The words “Safe Love” is in the waistband in the abck and the red ribbon is on right leg. If you want to show your support get the new HOM Safe Love Maxi Boxer Brief. HOM did a great job on these and we think it’s a great idea. You can show your social views with your underwear!

Hi Everyone,
Well it looks like it’s going to be another scorcher of a day (for those reading that are not in the UK believe me it’s a very rare thing) so im not going to spend a few hours desigining a funky newsletter with lots of pictures as to be honest I want to get out there and work on my tan.

So seeing as it’s going to be such a beautiful day and plus it’s a Bank Holiday (which means no official work and just 24 hours of lazing around) we thought why not throw a 20% off discount code out there to celebrate.

So if you enter the following discount coupon code of BH20 to your basket it will knock off 20% for any order over £30.

Few of things to remember

  1. The code can’t be used with ANY other current promotion (so it’s not going to work if your order already is taking advantage of the Bjorn Borg 3 for 2 offer
  2. The code is only good until tonight midnight (thats 25th May – British Summer time)
  3. Your order must be a minimum value of £30
  4. This is a newsletter and twitter subscriber offer only

Right thats it, now where did I put my sun lotion????

esxd05b-f1Some of my favorite underwear in the past has been Ergowear. When I had the chance to review the X3D brief, I became very excited. Until the ones I owned wore out, they were some of the best underwear I had ever worn and I loved them. I had not purchased any replacement briefs, but our friends at Dead Good Undies sent us some to review.

Dead Good Undies states in their Ergowear X3D description:

“Ergowear is the perfect range for guys who value support and comfort from their men’s underwear. This X3D brief is ergonomically designed to position your tackle to keep you comfortable and supported. The specially contoured pouch lifts everything away from your body while maintaining a natural feeling position. The gorgeously soft and stretchy fabric is available in Black or White, with each mini Brief dressed at the front centre with an Ergowear ribbon logo. Also available in the X3D range is a Boxer, Bikini or Thong, all in Black or White.”

I wore the briefs throughout the day and they didn’t wear as great as those previously owned. Granted, these are good underwear, but my review is tainted by my fond memories of those bikinis from the past. The best thing about the briefs is the pouch. I love briefs with a great pouch, granting support during all day wear, which these proved to do perfectly. I ran quite a few errands the day I wore the X3D briefs and they caused no problems with fit and placement. The nylon/spandex type blend fit my body well and the waistband and leg openings caused not binding or twisting.

One thing in particular I did not like was that after wearing the briefs for one day, a seam was coming undone. I don’t believe this is an overall problem with the brand, but one isolated incidence. I’m not going to hold this against them. Overall, they are a great pair of briefs that I will wear again.

Fit:                   4
Materials:          4
Put Together:    4
Look:                4.5
Daily Wear:       4.5
Overall:            4.2

You can get this at Dead Good Undies for $23.99 (depending on exchange rates).

Left: C-IN2 Pop Color, Gigo Points Jockstrap, Ginch Gonch Pink Piggie, and Timoteo Pink Brief

I noticed on either Facebook or on Twitter the other day, that there seems to be a theme going around in Men’s Underwear. The color PINK! Yes that’s right I said the color pink. It used to be that pink was only for women, but not any more. Now more and more companies are putting out pink undies.

6a00d8341ca4b653ef0115700c0de5970b-800wi

I first starting thinking about and then read in London’s Daily Mail ran an article that men are picking brighter color undies in the wake of the recession. The specific example they had was that Jockey’s Famous Y-Front pink briefs sold significantly higher then the other colors. This increase carried over to other pastel and brighter colors because men wanted something to brighten their wardrobe in these tough economic times.

The companies that have recently released pink undies are C-IN2, Timoteo, and Jockey. While other companies are using pink as accent colors, like Gigo. C-IN2 has come out with and entire1805-cashmere-pink-front line that are pink. They include many of the basic styles, briefs, boxer briefs, and tee’s. These are all the solid pink, and if you remember that last year they had a limited edition brief that was pink. But, C-IN2 doesn’t have just solid pink undies, they also have the Time Sphere pattern that is grey and pink. All with the styling of C-IN2.

Timoteo as you have seen on this blog came out with pink briefs this past month. They have rolled out a campaign to showcase the pink brief. We have featured this on out Underwear of the Week a few weeks back. Right now they just have the low brief and jockstrap in pink.

ub1003pWe asked Timoteo about the new pink colors. “Why PINK?  Well…in 2009 PINK is fashion.  PINK is soothing.  The Wall Street Journal said that all major designers were going with colors (pastels; pinks, lavenders etc) that made people comfortable in these economic times. At TIMOTEO, PINK is fashion.  PINK is sassy and best of all….PINK isn’t just for girls! We say…..”LIVE LIFE LIKE LIKE YOU MEAN IT……WEAR PINK!”.

Ginch Gonch, known for their interesting patterns. has even make some pink undies. They have used pink in their Pink Piggie style.  The back ground in the pattern is pink. But this is not the only style that they have used pink in, the Argyle pattern as well. It was one we featured on Underwear of the week! So, Ginch Gonch is one company not afraid of breaking the rules in men’s undies, and pink is a part of that!

Pink has made an appearance as an accent color as well. One of my favorite new styles is the Gigopoints_jsresized Points Jockstrap that has a pink waistband and a polka dot black and white pouch. It is just fun. Gigo in last few weeks has put out some really incredible prints. They have some that are pastel and have pink accents. They are ones that are just fun. We plan to go in more detail about them in another post.

But the love of pink isn’t new. One company that used pink a few years back was Baskit. They had a pink jockstrap that was one of their best sellers. When we talked to Baskit a while back, they said that it may make a come back someday and with all the new pink undies, maybe we will see it soon.

Not all makers are doing pink undies, but more and more are starting to use the color. It’s a fun color and something out of the ordinary. I think that’s why I like it so much. It’s not a color you would expect in men’s undies. But just like pink shirts, I think that it will catch on and more and more companies will start using it. As the Daily Mail article said, its just a fun way to brighten things up and these economic times anything that can bring some joy is a good thing.

We are curious as to what you think about pink undies. I asked on Twitter to include some feedback. Adam from Dead Good Undies said “my opinion is that blokes can also be pretty in pink 8-).” Wraith55, our Asst. editor said “they are hot and trendy. Adam at Dead Good Undies said “Pink is the new Black” the same as the title of this posting. ” John from Men’s Underwear Blog said that they are very hot and sexy. We would love for you to leave a comment about what you think about the pink undies!

Hey there! I have another interesting review for all you UnderwearNewsBrief.com fans. The reason why it’s so interesting is for two reasons. First, it is that it’s another pair of briefs. And that is a bit strange coming from a 30 something guy that wears jocks about 95% of the time. The second reason is that the type/style of brief is a bit exotic from the usual briefs I own myself. The briefs are the HOM plume II micro briefs. I reviewed the flesh colored micro briefs in size large.

img_0026-22008Let’s get this review rolling. The fit of the briefs were comfortable. The size large worked well for me. As always, less is more for me, and these briefs pull that off well. The micro waistband is snug and very functional. The material is very soft and almost silk like. As well as a bit sheer. One big plus for me, I very much enjoy sheer and/or mesh when wearing briefs. It gives them a sexy look without revealing too much. The pouch area had a good amount of room. My junk didn’t feel confined. The seat of the briefs had great coverage and held in position all day long. I however did not wear these too the gym, so I can’t comment on their ability to hold up while working out. But I would say the style alone tells me these are not workout gear material. But then again, that call is always up to the wearer.

Overall, the cut and style, along with the high quality materials make this brief one well put-together and very sexy item. But the look is not for the timid at heart. You have to be a truly man’s man to wear this brief. The waistband is micro and gives off the look of women’s underwear a bit. This is compounded by the flesh color. Now this brief is available in black as well. So if you are not a fan of the flesh color you have another option. However, I do img_0027-22008have to say that after wearing this brief I found it to be very comfortable and functional. And the skimpy and sheer look gives it a very sexy look. So I would totally wear this brief again, if someone would be kind enough to pass along a pair in black.

So to sum it all up, I believe the HOM plume II micro brief is a very stylish and exotic pair of briefs. I give it an overall rating of 4.6 on a scale of 5.

Fit:                   5
Materials:          5
Put Together:    5
Look:                 4
Daily Wear:       5

Overall:          4.8

So if you are a bit on the wild side and enjoy an exotic look every now and then you should totally take a look online at DeadGoodUndies.com and check out the HOM plume II micro briefs. Don’t just stop there either; take a look at the very large selection of HOM briefs, g-strings, and hipster style trunks.
