PetitQ sent us some really great pics. These are super creative and fun. This features model Dylan Knight, who by chance is an acrobat as well. It was shot in Las Vegas by Nahum Robles. We have a few more to share
I’m starting the mind numbing process of job hunting. I wish UNB was my full time gig! But I must do like most and subsidize my underwear love with a real job! UNB is an amazingly fun distraction from the job hunt process.
We decided to do a throw back Thursday, this time featuring the Skmpeez Undeez. This is the jockstrap they had a few years ago. Do you remember this pair?
Are you Brave? Do you want to be Brave? If you answered yes then the new range from aussieBum is for you. Camo has been a big trend in men’s underwear for the last few years. Each year I think we will see the end of the trend but someone comes up with a new way to make fun camo underwear.
This line mixes the camo print with sports mesh. Yup you heard me, sports mesh, which is one of my favorite new fabrics for underwear. It just feels amazing and sexy on me. I haven’t been a fan of nylon undies because there isn’t much give, but something out the feel of the sports mesh just gives a bit and is super breathable. I have a few pairs by other brands and on super hot days I wear them and it makes me much cooler.
This range from aussieBum is available in a hipster and brief. It comes in two different colors a traditional green camo and a blue camo print. I really love the green, since It’s my favorite color. However, the blue is pretty hot too! Its really a fun line that is not something I would see from aussieBum.
The one thing I really love about aB is they put their own down under spin on undies and swimwear. This pair is the perfect example of that and we hope you go check it out. The brief is available for $28.15 and the Trunk is $31.91.
Teamm8 has come out with a new campaign features dance and model Willie Gomez. Teamm8 is no stranger to making super hot videos/pics featuring their amazing undies
I am loving the pics Jerrad Matthew did for Cocksox. They ave really amazing studio shots. It features some of the favorite pairs of Cocksox! We hope you enjoy them as much
If you’re a fan of Cocksox and haven’t been to their site in a while we suggest you go now! We briefly covered this in a Brief Distraction last week but wanted to give you more info about it. You maybe going, “yeah but it’s a new site not rocket science.” This is true but they have done something to their site you need to know.
Just recently they launched the CSX line. Its a subtle rebinding of the line to have more people to get to know the brand. Not everyone wants to wear underwear that says Cocksox. I do, but many retailers and people kinda shy away from the brand for that one word. This causes them to miss out on a great underwear line.
The image above (shot by Jerrad Matthew) is the home page. You have two choices to go to the Active Male side or the Alpha Male side. The Active Male features the new CSX line. Where as the Alpha Male is the traditional Cocksox we all love and know.
The site is very easy to navigate and loads quickly. Its a great redesign for a great brand. Their old site was much like the UNB site, it’s fully functional but after a while it’s time to update to a more modern design. I say it’s a great job!
Its that one day of the week when you get an amazing pair of undies for a really great price. No need to hit the discount stores, every Tuesday Baskit has a great pair for just $12. This week its the Ribbed Brief, available in some great fun colors. While you’re on the site check out all the other deals under specials.
The pair I am reviewing is the Cocksox CSX65 Boxer Brief. This pair was really attractive when I pulled them from the package. The color is a bright vibrant red. The feel of the fabric was super soft. I couldn’t wait to try them on. I had never bought Cocksox before and really like the idea of the CSX so it doesn’t say Cock on my waistband.
I have worn this pair twice already. Once when I worked both of my jobs so it meant moving around a lot and wearing them for a long amount of time. The underwear stayed in place the whole time. They felt comfortable and were easy to move in. At times I forgot I had them on since they were so comfortable. The next time I wore them it was for both jobs but it was also a 99 degree day out. So I got extremely sweaty. These are designed to wick the moisture away from the body and I got to say it really worked. As someone with a bubble butt when underwear gets sweaty it normally starts to ride into my ass. These stayed in place and remained comfortable. I would recommend these for working out and sweaty situations.
The pair is a size small which covers 28 to 30 inch waists. The pair fit me perfectly. The pair looked awesome on my ass and the pouch fit me perfectly. The pair is made of 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra®. According to their website Supplex is the feel of cotton with more technology.
I really loved this pair of underwear. The y-front on the front and the bold bright color is fun. The pair is so comfortable that I will be wearing them often. These have jumped up my list of favorite underwear for sure. I will be purchasing more of these for sure!
Pros:
- Held up throughout the movements of my day
- Fun color
- The fabric is super soft and comfortable
Cons:
- There were no cons with this pair. I loved them and will wear the pair lots.
Ratings:
- Daily Fit – 10

This pair was supplied by Cocksox for review. It can be found on the Cocksox site for $35
Today we bring you a a preview of Teamm8‘s new Racer Brief. This is one that will be released soon. Stay tuned and we will let you know when it is released.
We have always had the gym factor when it comes to underwear. Meaning some guys will pick out a pair of undies that is more conservative because they are going to the gym that day. We have other guys who are just the opposite they don’t care what they wear to the gym. Its no ta factor in what he will wear for the day. So it got me thinking about the different kinds of guys at the gym. Here are a few that you may have seen or you maybe one!
Classical Guy– This guy is all about classical underwear at the gym. It’s white/black/grey only and in a brief (tighty whitey cut) or a boxer brief. He’s not about to wear something bright and colorful to the gym or not a bikini, jock or thong. he is a more conservative guy and it shows in his undies. Styles he wears: Briefs and Boxer Briefs
Colorful Guy – This guy is all about color. He’s not afraid to buy any color in the rainbow and wear it to the gym. Well he may not wear pink, but you never know. The styles maybe more classic but he’s all about color. He uses the colors to show off his personality. Styles He wears: Briefs and Boxer Briefs
Functional – This guy is all about function in the gym. Meaning his underwear is all about working out. He could be in Under Armour, a bike jock or other sports underwear. He’s more concerned about getting support and than being super stylish at the gym. Compression shorts with leg support is more of a factor than color or style. Styles He Wears: Compression Shorts, Moisture wicking pairs and maybe a Jock
Stylish – This guy is all about the style. He will come in the gym wearing the latest and greatest brands. And every day you will see him in a different brand or style. Rarely you will see him in the same pair twice. His taste can run from Andrew Chrsitian, Diesel, CK for the known brands. He could also wear brands like James Tudor, Curb Wear and any other new brand on the market. He wants undies people don’t have and is not afraid to show them! Styles He Wears: Anything from Bikini to Boxer Brief
Show Off – This guy loves to show off in anything small. He’s about showing off in skimpy bikinis, thongs and anything else that will watch someones eye. It’s all about daring to wear something very few guys will wear. They get at thrill out of wearing super skimpy stuff and will usually walk around the locker room in it so everyone can see their underwear. Styles he wears: thongs, fashion jocks, bikinis rarely anything longer
Which guy are you? Let us know I think at some point I have been all these guys. Yes I have worn a thong in a locker room before, but I was much younger. Now i would say I”m prob the Stylish guy, I wear what I want and don’t care what guys think.
We love bringing you guys stores across the world. Banglads is now Bang+Stike. They have reached out to us and we will be working with them. They sent us a pair of CR7 to review and it will be up shortly! Here is their announcement for the new site and name:
This Summer, we’ve got huge things going on at BangLads. In fact, we should probably start referring to ourselves as our new name, BANG+STRIKE. That’s right, we have grown up and bulked out!
We’ve gone from zeros to heroes in the underwear world over the past 8 years and now we are the UK’s No1 retailer of men’s underwear and swimwear. We couldn’t have done it with out the brands and designers that we stock. We would definitely like this support to continue, and hope you’ll all stick with us as we wave goodbye to the old and say hello to the new – bangandstrike.com
BANG+STRIKE is obviously an evolution of our brand name, and we hope it grows on you as much as BangLads did. We wanted to move with our customers and take the brand in an increasingly sporty, masculine direction whilst staying true to our core spirited and fun values! We think it reflects us and our customers perfectly.
We’re bigger, better and stronger than before, and we’re so enthusiastic about the future of BANG+STRIKE.
We’re still going to continue to be the UK’s No.1 online retailer of favourite brands such as Calvin Klein, Diesel, Rufskin and Emporio Armani, but will be widening our pool and bringing you a larger range and more choice. We’ve already added Okun Beachwear and CR7 Underwear to our brand roll call, as well as SupaWear as of today, and will be adding more in the next year, so keep your eyes peeled!
And so, we’re super excited to present to you our new name accompanied by our new website
Ok I couldn’t resist the title. It begged me to do it! But Modus Vivendi is a company that loves to have fun with their undies and naming the lines. This time it’s a bit more tongue in cheek! This is one of the things I love about them. They have a great mix of fashion and fetish undies.
Here is what they told us of the line:
“Modus Vivendi continues the Dreamland series of campaigns for its Summer 2014 collection and this time is taking you to a world of sailors with its Seaman Line (http://e-modusvivendi.com/gbu0-catshow/mc_seaman.html).
The background images into which the models blend are reproductions of paintings by Yannis Tsarouchis (1910-1989), who is one of the most highly regarded modern Greek painters. His extensive depiction of soldiers, sailors and other men, often curiously described as “vulnerable”, was controversial and some of his exhibits were taken down by censors. It was Tsarouchis who introduced the iconic sailor motive into modern Greek theater. From the content of his images we can also deduce that he was deeply interested in fabrics and clothing and, at one point, he even tried his hand at weaving.
This brand new line comprises evocative sailor-themed underwear, t-shirts, longsleeves and sleeveless tees. With references to sailor’s stripes, a range of luxury fabrics and a highly distinctive look these new clothes make a strong statement and offer supreme comfort. Sexy, innovative and bold these designs will get you looking your best down by the waves. ??

C-IN2 has been making some really great videos lately. More and more underwear companies are entering the video marketing! This video was posted a while back but features the Hand Me Down Collection. I think we are going to see more companies enter the video market. But with problems we have had before look for them on Vimeo rather than YouTube.
If your’e a fan of C-IN2 you no doubt know the Hand Me Down line. If you don’t know the line, its a line that is made with a “distressed” fabric to feel like it’s been handed down. I was skeptical about the line but I tried a pair and it felt really great. It lived up to what they said. It was like I put on a pair i have had for years.
The new refreshed line features a Charcoal and Grey stripes. When I talked to Greg at C-IN2 a few weeks ago, I wondered if the line would be too dark. But after seeing the pics on the site. The colors are: Blazer (orange), Dark Dizzy (red/maroon), Wax Pear (green/yellow) and Wink (Aqua/blue). The names brands come up with just are amazing lately. I am loving the creativity they are using.
They are in the usual styles you would expect from C-IN2, but the one style I don’t remember seeing is the Boxer. Granted, many of our readers don’t care for boxers but it could be great for lounging at home.
Should you get some C-IN2 Hand Me Down? I say yes without a doubt. It’s some of the most comfy undies I have owned and I love the stripes. Find these and more at the C-IN2 site.
N2N Bodywear had a show at Mickey’s in LA last week. I wish I could have gone to this but the video is amazing. If you are a fan of N2N then you don’t want to miss this! Check out the video it features some of the newest N2N Bodywear!

If you read this blog you know that underwear should be a lot of fun. We all have underwear for every day wear and some of us have underwear to wear to the gym. Those are pairs that are conservative and most guys wouldn’t look twice at in the locker room. But what about those pairs you want to show off and make a statement?
PPU has a pair just for that! The brief, which I call cut out brief, but they call it the Sneak Peek brief. This is a brief cut, where the front is not attached to the elastic but left open. Its a new design is set off by the pink piping around the openings and pouch. So there is no way not to draw attention to yourself when wearing it.
It’s super fun and a really fun design. Where would you wear this? I could see many of our readers wearing it under their suits at work. It amazes me what you guys wear to work! And I say more power too you, wear something that suits your personality. Also this could be great for a night out the pink waistband peeking over jeans will draw attention and maybe some comments. The last part is on a date night. Let’s face it if you wear this pair something tells me you want to show it off.
This pair is also available in Turquoise and Grey. But I think the Pink/Black pair is my favorite. The pink just pops against the black fabric. If you want to show off your undies why not wear a pair that will draw the eye! You should be able to find this at your favorite retailer but if not you can find it on Amazon. A tip, anytime you want a pair of Candyman and can’t find it, Amazon is your friend and you can find all pairs on there!
