I was pretty skeptical when asked to review undies from Male Power. I am not use to extreme undies and, to me, these were EXTREME! When I received them in the mail and showed them to my wife we were both pretty skeptical. She thought they were going to be extremely uncomfortable because of the material. I haven’t tried many thongs but I was given a pair of Grip & Rip Thongs to review from their Extreme Collection. I thought, “Okay, I’ll give them a try and keep an open mind about the whole thing.” With one eyebrow raised, I put them on and wore them all day.
I was concerned about the Velcro bothering my skin or getting caught on other articles of clothing and coming undone. That became a non-issue. I was also worried about placement, but that was soon dismissed. The thong fit nicely and, I must say, it was an all around good experience. The material was a comfortable “cire” – which was new to me. I had to adjust the way I “ride” in undies as the pouch was a little low and the grab strap did not help keeping things in place. I would not recommend these for all day wear as they would be best for a special, plan ahead to wear, event.
Put on the Male Power Extreme Grip and Rip Thong, grab a strap, and hang on tight as it will take you for a wild ride! These are made of matte finished polyester and spandex with an added tear-away front pouch for easy access.

Thanks to Male Power for sending these for us to try. I really enjoyed the Extreme experience and so did my wife later that evening!
 Male Power is a designer of sexy underwear for the modern man. We find from their company website that they were created in 1974. I never would have thought they had been around for that long. It was only a few months ago that I first saw a pair in a catalog. They have been shown in various publications during their company lifespan. Out of their vast collection, I was given the Tattoo Mini Short to review.
This was the first pair made by them that I have worn. Immediately after putting them on, I realized that sizing was an issue. I normally wear smalls and that’s what I was supplied. If you are on the upper end of their size ranges, get the next size up. Male Power smalls are 28-30. There were other issues that would have been present other than the size. Even though they were a little snug, they were fine to wear in the beginning of the day. I chose to carry on with my review and hope for the best.
As you can tell by the picture, the waistband is almost non-existent. The waistband measures .86 in (2.22 cm). I, personally, am used to a wider waistband because of the cut-in issue. The same material is used in the leg openings. I, like many of our readers, have thick thighs and need more forgiving material in that area. Over the period of time I wore this pair, the piping material began to cut into my thighs. I can’t deal with this on any underwear and so I took them off halfway through a work shift.
The material used to make the mini short was a great choice. I loved the feel against my skin. The material is made of 85% nylon and 15% spandex. This combination allows for a bit of stretch. There is a pouch design incorporated into the front of the short. Whether that allows for enough room is per the individual. It was OK with me. I’m not really a fan of the print, but that is totally up to the wearer. Some of the seams should be looked at when producing the product as there were some spots where the stitching was questionable as to how long it would hold out in daily wear.
As long as the size works with the wearer, I don’t see any problems with daily wear. The material is comfortable and it gives a fair amount under normal circumstances. The care instructions advise to wash in cool water (no bleach) and tumble dry cool. It would probably be better to simply hang them to dry. I don’t know of anyone that drys anything cool.

If you would like to try a pair of Male Power underwear, you can purchase them from many different sites including http://www.abcunderwear.com or you can buy them in retailers in your area. In the Atlanta area, I know that Poster Hut carries a large selection of Male Power briefs, thongs, and other styles.
These shorts were provided by Male Power for our review.
 
We got a few pairs of Male Power to review, this is one the pairs. More will be coming in the next week or s. If you aren’t familiar with them, they are an underwear company know for some really wild and sexy designs. It can range from mesh, leather looking and traditional. So there is something for everyone.
I got the Male Power Zipper short, size XL, and thought first, that they look really cool. Then I thought, this is not going to be comfy with the zipper in the front. But, being the diligent reviewers and underwear lover I put them on. I will say that I didn’t even notice the zipper. I thought for sure that it would rub and drive me crazy. The reason is I have had zipper underwear before and it rubbed me the wrong way and had to be taken off. But these really fit well and I didn’t’ notice the zipper.
I wore them for an entire day. I was really surprised by the fit. I have had some undies similar to this and as I have mentioned, and they were designed to not be worn long. These really had a good pouch and held everything in place. The only thing that did annoy me is that they would ride down in the back. Meaning they kept slipping down some. Not a great deal but just enough for me to notice.
These are perfect for a pair of date night undies. They are interesting so when the pants come off, your partner will notice it.

These can be purchased in either red or black. I reviewed the red pair. The price for the pair I around $19, and you can find retailers online or at a store near you on the Male Basics Website!

This is the beginning of a new segment to Underwear News Briefs where we can showcase some of the smaller stores that sell underwear all over the country and the world. Since I live in the Atlanta area, I wanted to tell everyone about a store that offers an awesome selection of men’s underwear. Many locals, in fact, don’t know this store even sells underwear. The store I am referring to is Poster Hut.
Poster Hut has been open in Atlanta for 40 years and has a great collection of cards, clothing, home accessories, and other wild and fun items on the funny and eclectic side. I had not visited the store in some time when Wes, our copy editor, came on staff and was tel ling me about all the underwear they carry. We became friends with the owner, Mike, and have been working together for about a year. UNB has completed some reviews of items they offer and they have participated in our Holiday Guide.
The underwear selection at Poster Hut has amazed me since the first time I entered the store. The great companies they carry are Mundo Unico, Colt, Dirty Fukker, Priape, Nasty Pig, Schultz, Male Power, Magic Silk, The-Tee.com (Lee Gregory), WildmanT, and Ajaxx63, a company producing many gay themed t-shirts. They sell underwear brands that no other store in Atlanta is offering such as Unico, Schultz, and Dirty Fukker. Poster Hut allows customers to buy them locally and not have to wait for satisfaction through the mail. As you know, Unico is one of my favorite underwear companies in the world. I am thankful I can buy them when I want them. Their selection of Unico is practically everything I would be able to find online. Honestly, I was a kid in a candy store.
The Holiday Guide and the two-year anniversary special contained profiles on Schultz, an underwear company with various sayings on the waistband. Poster Hut has practically the entire line in stock. They are a fun company and we really like them here at UNB. The jeans are not part of their inventory as of yet, but they are hoping to get them soon as they would make great combinations with the underwear.
Exclusive to Poster Hut in this area is another great underwear designer, Dirty Fukker. Obviously, they are popular with the southern boys not only because of their designs, but also their name. The name always catches everyone’s attention. I have witnessed guys who come in  to browse the section and stop to look when the name stood out to them. They now have a new camo collection that has become quite the hit.
We are excited that underwear has become one of Poster Hut’s main products, evident from an event they hosted last week. A local photographer, Shane Gardner, showed some of his work to the public. They also had models featuring items from their selections of underwear, including their signature model Chandler (see the guy in leather), guys from Acme-tainment, and one from Lee Gregory or The-Tee.com. Lee Gregory was at the show and I was able to chat with him for a while.
I spent about two hours at this fun event, mainly talking about underwear. I had a chance to speak with everyone there. How fun is it to go to a party and be able to talk about underwear? I talked to Lee Gregory about current trends and influences in the world of men’s underwear. His line of clothing is quite fun, aiming more for dating wear and probably not for everyday wear. I’m not sure you would want to go to the gym with “Hung Like A Jury” written on the pouch, but maybe you would!
  
I was about to do a little networking with the owner of Acme-tainment. I network a bit for my professional life. We were able to talk about underwear for a few minutes and then about other interests and some business ideas. It was great to be able to do some networking while enjoying the passion I have for underwear. I hope Poster Hut holds more events like this as to get the word out about their underwear and other interesting, lively items.
If you are in the Atlanta area, definitely stop by and see our friends at Poster Hut, located at 2175 Cheshire Bridge Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. When you browse in their underwear section, you will see copies of our reviews displayed above the referenced selection. If you are able to visit them, let them know you heard about them on Underwear News Briefs.
