228177_10151464640174744_864285407_nThe fourth week of the month means it’s time for boxer brief week on Underwear of the Week. The pair we chose this week was one with some color and fun waistband. That pair is the 2(X)ist No-Show Trunk. When we saw the the line, we knew that it had to be our underwear of the week. The colors are bright and fun! I think that when you love underwear like our readers, you don’t want anything boring. You want color, fun and not ordinary!

One thing that 2(x)ist is doing that I really like in the last few collections are the waistbands. They are not doing simple branded waistbands. They are using silicon imprints, colors and designs on the waistband. At times it seems like the waistband is most forgotten part of undies.

Reasons this pair is our Underwear of the Week!

  • Available in 5 Colors – Black, Pro Blue, Turquoise, White and Poppy Red
  • Made out of the (X)-Pel Wicking Fabric – 89% Nylon / 11% Spandex
  • Has the Original 2(X)ist contour pouch
  • Dual-printed logo waistband

Available on the 2(x)ist website for $28.00

malepowerwaveshort

Hot hot hot!  That’s the best way to describe this super fun trunk from Male Power.  When I took it out of the package, I couldn’t figure out what the pattern was or how it would look.  But as as I put it on and looked in the mirror I knew what all the buzz was about.  Designed to provide support and titillate at the same time, this trunk is sure to spice up those special times between you and your partner.  Made from a polyester/spandex blend, the look and feel of this trunk is a winner.

The first thin you notice about these trunks is the construction.   This body hugging short is covered in see-thru inserts, giving any one who sees you in them a glimpse of what is underneath.   While that may be disconcerting to some, it can be quite exhilerating for others.  I wore mine on purpose to the gym, and caught quite a few looks as I changed into my gym shorts.    Not only do they look great, but they felt great.  Didn’t have any issues working out in them at all.  And the inserts made them exceptionally breathable.   There is a center seam that provides some lift in the back as well, which is always nice.  My only complaint is that they are only offered in black and white.  Imagine red and white…yowza!

  • super sexy
  • lifts in front and back
  • feels great on the skin

Male Power furnished this pair for review

8364_1_

When I opened my latest review pair the other day, I was excited to see this hot number (horrible pun intended) by PiKante. Their 8364 boxer is an eye-catching micro mesh of a 93% Polyester/ 7% Spandex mix that is available in a light blue color with yellow contrast stitching and logo waistband. While I am a fan of logo waistband, the PiKante logo could probably use a little editing as it contains but a chili pepper as the “i” and an underwear-clad male form as the “t” – but that’s just my two cents.

On the day I wore the boxer I found myself doing errands and going to the grocery store.  As they day wore on I found that it felt like the leg had rode up a tad and felt somewhat bunched at my thighs. Much to my surprise when I changed that evening the boxers were not actually bunched at all, I’ll admit it, I have meaty thighs and I believe in my case that the leg openings were a little too snug and that after a full day of errands, I really started to notice it. With that said, there was no chaffing or the like, it was just mildly uncomfortable; however, as comfort is paramount for me in my underwear, that did lead to my fit/daily wear ratings below.

I do however, have to compliment PiKante on the micro mesh that was chosen for the boxer. While it is partly shear, it is very discrete and does not feel like it is revealing too much or letting any part of your anatomy hangout – at least not anymore than it’s well-designed pouch is suppose to. Additionally, sometimes mesh boxers tend to have a flimsy feel to them and I am happy to report that these have a hardy build that definitely holds its own.

Overall, I really wanted to like these boxers, especially because of the color combo, but the leg fit is an issue for me. I hope that it might have just been this pair because I like the other features and would like to wear these more regularly than I will because of the fit.

Pros:

  • Sturdy construction
  • “Discrete” mesh

Cons:

  • Snug leg openings

Ratings:

  • Fit – 3
  • Materials – 5
  • Construction – 5
  • Look – 5
  • Daily Wear – 3
  • Overall – 4.2

This pair was furnished by PiKante.

Thom-Evans_D.HEDRAL-SS13_01

Today’s Brief Distraction is from D.HEDRAL. This is part of their new swimwear line.

“The model is Ruby star Thom Evans. D.HEDRAL is a luxury men’s underwear brand that will also be launching beachwear (as pictured) in the Spring.

This is Thom’s first major campaign since he started modelling last year and comes almost exactly three years after his life changing injury playing rugby for Scotland.

We think he definitely gives David Beckham a run for his money!”

It’s Friday and Underwear of the Week. This week is Jock wee and we wanted to bring you one of the newest jocks as our pick this week. The pair this week is the Baskit America Jock. I first saw this a year ago in Vegas at the show and have been anxiously awaiting the release of this line. One of the main reasons for picking this pair is and from the Baskit website “We’ve sourced amazing fabrics and waistbands here in the US to bring you our first ‘Made in America’ collection. All the quality and style you’ve come to expect from baskit but now made in the great state of Colorado.” It’s Made in America!

Reasons the America Jock is our Underwear of the week:

  • Made in America
  • Has a jock brief styling
  • Multi color pattern that is available in 3 comibnations
  • Really nice waistband with the Baskit logo centered
  • Baskit Logo at the top of the leg straps.
  • Made out of 95% Cotton 5% Elastane

Find this at the Baskit Site for $24.00.
