Extreme Collection underwear provides us with an exciting and enticing pair of lace pouch-front trunks/shorts. I hesitate to call it lace because many guys will feel it is not masculine to wear lace. If you are one of those guys, just mentally substitute mesh where I write lace and all will be well in the universe. Speaking of masculine, I will not try to define masculine simply because masculine is one of those words that has varying meanings among guys. So, let us move on past what is masculine and its definition and simply enjoy the underwear for what it is and what it is meant to be.
The fabric is 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex and stretches and molds to the body. The waist and the pouch are outlined by a solid white piece of elastic that is approximately one-fourth of an inch in width. This provides a nice look to the trunks. The pouch is sewn in two panels and the elastic piece rests behind your package to lift and show it off nicely. The rear is pieced in two panels, as well, and comforms to your assets to better show off and define that area. I found the feel of the fabric to be soft and comfortable against my body. The fabric is sheer and allows full exposure of the body. Size Large fit nicely.
I was able to wear this pair a couple of times before writing this review and I found the trunk to be comfortable and very wearable. This is a nice blend for the fabric and will allow for easy washing and drying and long term wearability. I wore these with blue jeans and track pants. The trunk did not pull against the fabric or bunch up in those areas we all detest them to. I felt erotic and sexy the entire time I had them on. Many times, my underwear seems to give me extra confidence and a personality boost. Overall, I enjoyed the lace trunk and feel it is a nice change from the normal cotton/other fabric type of underwear that I wear and review.

Lace will deter some men that are not comfortable with what is masculine to them
The PPU Pin Stripe 0998 bikini was a fun pair of underwear to try out. PPU Underwear is an underwear company from Colombia that seeks to create underwear of high-quality, affordable, and sexy intimate apparel for men. The look of the bikini was above average with the stark white waistband and black front and back, but the pin striping set everything off nicely.
The fabric consisted of 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex and was soft and conforming. It seems like every underwear company is experimenting successfully with fabric combinations. The same fabric composition can change drastically among companies. The waistband measures one and three-quarters inches and was white with a shiny PPU logo embroidered on it. The logo was not centered above the front panel, so this will not make everyone happy, but it really does not bother me. The leg openings were highlighted by a slim white piece of elastic material to provide a nice contract to the black fabric. Overall, the fabric and design was very comfortable.
Size large fit well. The pouch was pieced together from two separte pieces of fabric to provide the cut that fits the best on the male form. There was an internal seam which I never noticed while wearing. The rear is a medium fit and some guys will not like how it hits their assets The leg openings were comfortable. The piece of fabric that hits the area behind your package was slim and just the right width.
I wore these on standard days of general daily activity. This bikini was comfortable and felt great against my body with the soft fabric and right sized waistband width. My khaki pants and my jeans had no issue with clinging to the undies or pulling at them during the day due to the slick fabric. I found several sites offering this bikini for less than $20. So, the cost is a bit high, but you do get what you pay for, I suppose. Overall, I enjoyed the majority of the features of this bikini.
Today, I am going to review the CandyMan 9511 Thong. This thong has a triangular cut out at the top of the front pouch as well as the rear strap. Much to my surprise, I receive a pair with a black waistband and nautical white/navy striped pouch! Loving everything nautical, I couldn’t wait to toss on these babies!
The construction appeared to be well done, although my OCD got the best of me seeing as the stripes don’t line up on the 93%Polyester, 7% Elastane pouch. Upon first test drive, I realized that one must dress in the ‘down position’ as the pouch wasn’t quite large enough and dressing ‘up’ would result in a potential ‘escape’ of the anaconda … If you know what I mean. That noted, The pouch cut out, when positioned correctly allowed for one to pull their ‘snake’ out, allowing it to freely hang while the boys remain nicely supported inside the pouch.
I wore this thong to work and out for drinks afterward. The pouch, being a little too small, required proper adjustment a few times during the day. The fabric, while descent, wasn’t the softest thing, which caused a little discomfort towards the end of the day.
My name is Sean, I live, play and work in the design industry in Boston. I have been wearing thongs for years! I originally fell in love at the thought of wearing something that was barely there, but then came to appreciate the functional design of such a garment. I wear thongs during my day-to-day life, especially in the summer and nearly always at the gym. Thongs are perfect for the gym because they do not restrict any motion and there is very little bunching – as an avid yogi and runner, this is a MUST! I also wear thongs out on the town, not to show off, but to go un-noticed under light colored pants.
Today, I am going to review the NDS G-Sting from ABC Underwear. This particular G-String comes in a variety of colors, I just so happen to be wearing the red one. The packaging was pretty no-frills, but I was excited to try them on! The G-String had the standard string sides with an adjustable pouch. Upon first inspection, the construction looked pretty good – almost as if it were meant to double as a swimsuit, which I am sure it could on account of the nylon/elastane blend. The label is a black/silver stag placed on the front of the pouch at the top, which I could do without as it cheapens the look. The sizing on this model was small/medium, and was displayed on a large tag attached at the top of the interior of the pouch. This posed a problem for someone of my size, I am 6’1 and a size 30 waist, meaning smalls usually fit just right; this small/medium was definitely a little too large unless it was meant to be worn higher than standard low-rise underwear. Sometimes being skinny is a curse!
I decided to wear them out for dinner and out for drinks after with friends. I put the G-String on and inspected things in the mirror before setting out. The pouch is contoured, I assume to fit the natural anatomy of a man. This had it pro’s and con’s, most of which I didn’t really notice until I was out and about. While it felt as if my ‘fella’s were allowed to swing so to speak, there was a lack of support and a little too much swing of the pouch while walking. This didn’t offer up a nice ‘display’ of ones assets and the pouch tended to change size seeing as it was not securely fastened to the waist string. The waist of the pouch tended to bunch after walking from the restaurant to the bar and required some adjusting throughout the night. While it was nice to not feel confined, the pouch offered a little too much space and swing. The pouch was also a little uncomfortable as the night went on beneath my pants. While I wasn’t thrilled with the G-String, it was fun to play with the size of the pouch!
I have reviewed Equmen a few times for UNB. I think the first time I wore them was about two years ago. The one thing I really noticed was a difference in their shirt from other undershirts. The brand has stuck to their core (pun not intended) business and make a great product.
This is a review unlike most we do; it involved two different pairs from Equmen. I received the Precision Core Undershirt – Singlet and Precision Underwear – Boxer Brief. Those who have read the blog know I am not much of a boxer brief fan. So when I opened the package, I wasn’t too excited, I was hoping for a brief. But I”ll get to that in a sec.
I wore the pairs to work and hoped for the best. The first pair to review is the shirt. I have the regular t shirts from Equmen and hoped they lived up to my previous reviews. I put it on and realized I had it on backwards. For those of you who have put on what is called “shape wear”, you know getting it on is not an easy task. So I put it on the right way, and I will say the singlet fit really well. It makes you pay attention to your posture, meaning you notice you stand up very straight and tall. Which is a good thing. I really like them and how it fit. I wish I had 5 or more pairs so I could wear them to work.
Next up is the Boxer Briefs. I know I can hear many of you going, here it comes, and this won’t be a good review. However, these boxer briefs were pretty darn amazing. I am not one for one for boxer briefs that don’t have a pouch. These were, for a lack of better term, ordinary looking when I opened the package. So when I put them on I hoped they would last through out the day. Much to my surprise they really held their form and felt great. It is one of the few times that a boxer brief fit me like a brief. This pair will be going in my drawer and go into regular rotation, rather then be banished to the second drawer. This reminds me of the saying, Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
Another thing I must add is that you would think with the technology, you would be hot all day. This is not the case. It is the opposite. The two styles really breath with you though out the day. There is nothing worse then underwear that doesn’t breath and you feel like you are melting in.
Pros:
The shirt really increases your posture
Boxer Briefs held their form all day
It doesn’t get you hot and breathes with you
Cons:
The shirt is hard to get on
Colors are limited to white, black, grey and blue

I would recommend these to anyone looking for performance underwear. It is perfect for working out or every day wear! These were furnished for review by Equmen

Good construction,
fun color.
Dislikes:
Adjustable pouch bunched and had a strange contour, itchy tags, slightly too big in the waist, back strap and pouch,
I was asked to review the Lobbo Cotton G-string from abcunderwear.com. I know many of you guys aren’t into thongs or g-strings, but I if you were ever tempted to try one out, then this would be the perfect g-string for a newbie. It is a basic g-string. The pouch is large enough to hold everything in it without smooshing you. It is like a pair of boxer briefs on your junk with elastic string holding it in place. I found the pouch’s width to be great in proportion to my body. I wore it to the gym, lounged in it at home and even slept in it. I own several g-strings and did not think that this one was any better or any worse. The only thing I thought was lacking was the quality of the pouch’s fabric. I personally prefer cotton to be a softer than the material ABC used.
Are most of you going to wear this to the gym? Probably not. Will I wear it to the gym again? You bet! The price on abcunderwear.com is great if you really want to get one or if you are curious about trying underwear that is out of your normal comfort zone. Your girlfriend or boyfriend will love to see you in something sexy or skimpy. Mine does!
