Review Good Boy Gone Bad Evo

No Comments

Ivo bief red frontEver since I started with UNB, I have put some underwear designers on my wish list to try. This week I was excited to learn that one of my dream pairs from Marcuse had arrived for me to review. The pair was the Ultra Brief in white which I had seen in various advertisement photos. On first look, this is a very sexy pair of briefs. You expect to see a basic white brief but instead are met with lines that ad sophistication and sexy curves to the pair. I was also able to instantly tell how soft the fabric was to the touch. I slid the pair on and the sexiness continued.

Anyone who is a fan of briefs knows that there are many different types ranging from basic and sport, to thicker sides and thinner sides, waist level and low rise. This pair was definitely low rise and smaller as they barely came up to the top of my butt. There are people who may find this uncomfortable or feel as though your underwear needs to be pulled up throughout the day. This was not the case here. I wore them through an entire work day, moving around quite a bit, and did not ever feel as though I needed to pull my underwear up. The back of the briefs fit just around the butt with no extra coverage to bother the wearer. At the top of the back there is a thin strap, similar to what I used to see in dress Ivo brief life style shotsshirts. I did not see a purpose for this strap nor do I find it very visually appealing. It did not bother the pair or its wear ability.

When it comes to smaller briefs, it can be difficult to gauge the sizing factor. I wear a medium and as I mentioned the pair came to the top of my butt. Since it is a smaller brief, it felt very tight on me all day long. I could feel the tightness under my suit. This did not bother me but it is a notable observation that I feel I should share with my fellow UNB readers. With the smaller briefs, there is usually less fabric and less room. I did find the front pouch to be tighter than I expected. I did not feel as though I had much room which led to slight discomfort throughout the day.

Overall, I am happy that I was able to add Marcuse to my underwear drawer. This is a very hot pair and I love the look of it on. The small concerns I had with the pair could be a result of the way it felt on me today and would not keep me from wearing them again. I nominate this pair for a second wear in a few weeks to see how it feels that day. I have complete confidence that they will be even better the second time around.

Pros:

  • Sexy look
  • Soft fabric
  • Low rise fit

Cons:

  • Smaller front pouch
  • Back design

Ratings

  • Daily Fit = 8
  • Sizing = 8
  • Construction/Materials = 8.5
  • Styling = 8
  • Daily Performance = 8.5
  • Overall = 8

The pair was furnished for review by Good Boy Gone Bad.

Review Teamm8 Mate Brief

No Comments

Mate-White-Underwear-0-15x15I am excited to get to review for everyone the teamm8 Mate Brief in white. I was blown away when I got them. I absolutely loved them as soon as I saw them. They are the low cut briefs in white and they have a draw string waist.

At first I wondered if they were swim trunks, but they are 95% cotton 5% Elastane, ad they don’t have a lined crotch area so I realize they are underwear.

I have always loved underwear with a draw string waist. I don’t know why, they are sexy, comfy, fun and if you eat a lot you can adjust the waist.

I decided the second I saw these that they were going to be for special occasions. I didn’t wear them to work for a day but I would rear them out for a special night.

When I first pulled them on I totally LOVED them. They were comfy and very sexy The cut is perfect and have the right amount of room in the front and the butt. The waist we perfect because you tie them to your liking.

Throughout the night they were perfect. The drawstring waist was comfy, not too tight and not too lose. The leg openings were snug but not so tight that they hurt or were binding.

I am pleased to say I was told how sexy they look on me. I wont go into details but I have worn them once since them and I love them. I wear a size medium and these fit perfectly.

Pros:

  • Soft material
  • Great construction
  • Comfortable, great fit and cut
  • Draw string waist is the best.
  • Very sexy cut and style.

Cons:

  • Nothing, I love these underwear

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 10
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Material – 10
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 10

I recommend you get a pair of the Teamm8 Mate Draw String Briefs for those special occasions or for everyday wear. Teamm8 furnished this pair for review.

Review Gregg Homme Gentleman Briefs

No Comments

Unknown-8You may think that Gregg Homme is all about erotic wear. You would be wrong! They are not always about thongs and mesh. They have a line called Gentleman. I had very high hopes for this pair because I love Gregg Homme. I can’t think of any pairs I have ever disliked.

The Gentleman line is Gregg Homme’s take on a basic line. But, unlike most basics, this is still made with some of the fabric Gregg Homme is famous for. I always ask in Vegas about how they find this fabric but they never tell me, it’s a trade secret. The fabric for the Gentleman is a poly spandex with micro modal air jet fabric. What does that mean to you? It won’t fit like cotton basics. It has a very nice feel!

I will say this pair was an interesting change from the other pairs of Gregg Homme. This is one that would very much fit the gym factor. Meaning I could wear it to the gym and bet I wouldn’t get looks. The other pairs I have are the Voyeur Brief, A Net g-string and Jock! I give them props for doing a classic line. The fit was pretty good. My only concern when I first put on was that the pouch was a little snug. It wasn’t tight or binding but just snug. More on that in a sec!

I wore these to the first day of my contract job. Now, I haven’t worked an 8 hour day since over a year ago and it was in an office where I got to wear shorts and t shirts. This is a more Biz casual environment. I was up way early and put them on under my khakis. My worry about the pouch was rarely noticed through out the day. Granted I wish it had a bit bigger pouch though. The fabric allowed me to breath and felt great through the day. This was the most active I have been with a pair, shy of the previous review I did, where I ran through the airport.

The pair I received is an XL. Which fit me very well, its been the size I wear most in Gregg Homme. I’m back to a 38 in waist and working my way back down. So it wasn’t too snug or too lose. If you check the size chart for them you shouldn’t have an issue at all.

Pros:

  • Amazing fabric
  • Classic styling
  • Breathable for a long day

Cons:

  • Only one is a bigger pouch

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 9
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily performance – 9
  • Overall – 9

Review Teamm8 Racer Brief

No Comments

racer-navy-underwear-0_4There is something comforting about being part of a team. At UNB, I have been able to become part of a great underwear team. A team that brings the underwear loving public what they need and want to know about all things underwear! You can imagine my excitement when Teamm8 became my newest teammate in my underwear drawer.

I received the Teamm8 Racer Brief in Navy. The look of this brief is very athletic and sporty, living up to the company name. It has the athletic theme stripes in the front around the package and a great orange and navy color combination up against the white waistband. A look that I think portrays team spirit. The pair is a cotton and elastane mix which is a great combination for comfortable wear all day. Like many underwear companies today, they allow for extra room in the pouch for the more endowed men and a fuller cut in the back for the butt men.

I wore the pair through my typical work day as I normally do with my new underwear pairs. To me, it is important to see if a pair can handle an average day, otherwise it does not pop up in rotation too often. This pair did not disappoint! I was comfortable all day long. I did not have any problems with chaffing, riding up, or excessive adjustment.

I wear a medium and when I received this pair it was a small. I was nervous because my first thought was “oh great these won’t fit.” I was wrong. They fit me great. I was pleasantly surprised that a small fit me so well and they did not feel too small throughout the day. Teamm8’s website does reference this by saying “if you don’t need the extra room, just order a size smaller.” Although this is good advice before purchasing, it may confuse many customers who wonder if they are endowed enough or have a bigger butt for their normal size or a size down. I consider myself average but would have not ordered a small just from my typical ordering habits.

Overall, if you get the right size, you won’t be disappointed when you wear the pair. They say there is no “I” in team but I sure am glad that I am in this Teamm8 pair!

Pros:

  • Extra room in the front and back
  • Comfortable material
  • Appealing, sporty look

Cons:

  • Sizing concerns
  • Low color selection

Ratings

  • Daily Fit = 9
  • Sizing = 7
  • Construction/Materials = 9
  • Styling = 8
  • Daily Performance = 9

Review Sly Collective Lotus Brief

No Comments

sly_rest_lotus_03_3

Today I am super excited to get to review the Sly Lotus Brief. I have had the great luck to get to review a pair of Sly boxer briefs. So when I got the briefs I was ecstatic. Upon opening the packaging and taking them out, I LOVE the feel of the fabric and the bold colors and super fun comic inset panel.

The material and the construction is top quality, just like the boxer briefs I already have. The wide waistband is bold and fun. They brand name SLY is in reverse in white on the blue waistband. The material is 95% cotton 5% elastane and is soft and comfy. One really fun option Sly has is a small pocket sewed onto the front of the underwear. It’s the perfect size for a condom. So you can always be prepared when you need it most.

I was excited to put them on and wear them for the first time. When I put them on I loved the feel and the look of them on me. They were comfortable and sexy. The fit of Sly underwear is amazing. There was plenty of room in the pouch and the fit on the butt was great. The leg openings were not so tight that they cut into me but not so lose that they felt like they were falling off.

Throughout the day they were a pleasure to wear. They didn’t cause me to feel hot or sweaty and they stayed in place. At times I felt like I was wearing nothing at all.

These briefs have been added to my regular rotation of underwear and I have worn them once after my initial trial. The second time they were as great as the first wear.

Pros:

  • Great material
  • Amazing print
  • Comfortable, from the beginning of the day to the end of the day
  • Great fit for your butt and crotch
  • Stands up after washing and wearing several times
  • Condom pocket

Cons:

  • I really cannot think of a con.

Ratings:

  • Daily fit – 10
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Material – 10
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 10

I totally recommend you guys give the Sly Rest Easy Brief a try. Sly seems to know how to make great underwear. If you wear briefs, trunks or boxer briefs, give them a try and you will be hooked.

Review Cocksox CSX03 Waistband Brief

No Comments

csx03_aquasplash_front

The pair I am reviewing is the CSX03 Waistband Brief. I was so excited to open the package and see another pair of CSX. After reviewing a pair of CSX Boxer Briefs I wanted more. The color of this pair was amazing too. It is called Aqua Splash…which is light blue, with a darker blue waistband. The material was super soft as well which I love when I get a new pair of underwear. Let me say, I am one who likes to wash new clothing before every wearing it…but not these…I wanted them on! I wore them the next day after getting them.

I decided to wear this pair on a Tuesday which meant I was working both of my jobs. I sit at a desk for part of my job and then the other job is getting up and down doing shipment at a clothing store in the mall. So I like a pair that will move with me and feels comfortable to hours and hours.

When I put this pair on the first thing I noticed was the pouch. It doesn’t fit everything, just mainly your cock. I don’t mind that…except when I am trying to pull on my jeans and the underwear just puts that right out in front. The pair though fit perfect on my bubble butt. It help perfectly and didn’t ride up or feel too tight at all. I don’t remember have to adjust this pair at all through the day.

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 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:

  • The pouch forced my cock out a little far so zipping up jeans was difficult.

Ratings

  • Daily Fit – 10

CX03 Waistband Brief Review

No Comments

 

cocksox briefsOn the review table for today is the CXO3 Waistband Brief from Cocksox.  This is my first pair of underwear from Cocksox.  I was pretty excited when the package arrived and I realized what was inside.  Getting underwear is always fun, we all know that.  Upon examining them

I realized I was sent a pair of small briefs.  As you know I usually wear briefs in medium.  I was a bit concerned by this considering how small they looked when I held them up.  The fabric was soft and seemed stretchy enough to form to my butt and provide me with all day coverage.  I also took notice of the pouch and was curious to see how that fit, but more on that later.

When I wear a pair of underwear to review I prefer to go about my day as normal.  Doing abnormal activities wouldn’t allow me to give you all an honest and fair judgment.  Keeping true to this I wore them to work.  The key thing to mention here is that my pants are fairly tight fitting.  This is where it is important to mention the pouch of the underwear.  They push all your package right out front and don’t really allow them to be pushed back.  While wearing tighter pants this very evident as things could be seen through my pants.   Maybe this is why my sales for the day were better than everyone else’s.  As for the rest of wear, they stayed put.  No wedgies or misplaced leg holes throughout the day.  I will say that taking a bathroom break and trying to tuck myself back into the pouch was a bit challenging.  Once I was situated back into them I again took notice of my frontal protrusion.  Kinda funny really.

I mentioned earlier that I was sent a size small to test out.  Yes, I was concerned about how they would fit.  To be very honest I do feel that a medium would have been better, but the smalls weren’t bad either.  The rule I follow is that I wear small trunks and medium briefs, in most cases.  I always wear small jocks, except for Unico.  Exceptions to every rule you see.  This is a pair where following my rule for briefs would have been best.  According the website for Cocksox they do follow American sizing, but again we all know what works best for each of us.

Did I like them? Well to be honest, I’m still on the fence about that.  On one hand they were comfortable.  The material used to make them was soft and despite not being my usual size choice, still conformed nicely to my butt.  On the other hand though, they were a bit revealing and forceful in the way they presented my package.  I have found that a lot of the other lifting pouches still allow your outer clothing to push your package back not allowing too much to be revealed.  I think if I had worn them in a different setting they might have not shown as much, but again I want to give a fair review and most of my underwear will see a day work at some point or another.  I did ask my boyfriend for his thoughts and well, he said the front looked like a Peep.  I wish I was making that up.  I guess my final thought on whether I liked them or not is that yes, they are fun, but I’d probably go for a less pronounced pouch in the future.

Rating for this pair:

  • Daily Fit: 6
  • Sizing: 6
  • Construction/Materials: 8
  • Styling: 7
  • Daily Performance: 6
  • Overall: 6

Review – Andrew Christian Limited Edition Twerk Brief

No Comments

1399731545-55286300After being away from the world of men’s underwear for so long and wanting to get back into it in the worst way, I knew I needed to score some of the most up-to-date pairs. Andrew Christian has always been one of my favorites, if not my favorite brand, mainly because I am a bigger guy. Once I discovered their “Anatomically Correct” pouch designs I was instantly hooked (and all other well-endowed guys need to try AC). So it was a no brainer then, to log onto AndrewChristian.com to see what was new.

Flashing in front of me was the “Twerk” Brief, complete with glossy pictures of chiseled male models standing in both the red and black colors. A video so blatantly homo-erotic that I didn’t even think before clicking past it and seeing what sizes were available. Let me start with the name of these, the “Twerk” brief–clearly a play on the famous ass-shaking dance move made famous by YouTube and that Miley Cyrus made infamous overnight–I am not a fan. Twerking was cool back when it didn’t have a name and it could be seen in every Nelly music video ever made–but alas it actually works (sort of) for this pair of briefs.

Why you ask? Well since Twerking typically involves big butts, this brief is built for guys with bubble or power butts. This “accommodation” for those of us with bigger booties is accomplished by a more severe “drop” in the seat of these briefs along with somewhat of a barely noticeable pleating of material at the apex of the leg opening, which stretches accommodatingly once they get pulled on over a bubble butt.

The result is quite frankly one of the most comfortable pairs of underwear I have ever owned, and that’s saying something considering my collection is pushing 200 pairs. The brief utilizes 93% rayon which is a fabric made from bamboo fibers and its just about the softest fabric you can put in underwear. The “Anatomically Correct” pouch lets your goods hang the way they were meant to, and the room in the pouch of these particular briefs is pushing “Trophy Boy” territory and for guys like me, that’s just one more reason I love these briefs. The sizing of these is also very generous which is fairly typical of all of the rayon briefs Andrew Christian offers. I wear a 36 in jeans which means I am technically about a 40″ waist, but the XL (34-36) fits me fine. If your pant size is the lower number in Andrew Christian’s range, you are going to want to size down in this particular brief.

As far as looks go, Andrew Christian the designer knows what he is doing when it comes to Limited Edition underwear. The color scheme of a uniformed light blue background underneath red lettering on a white waistband offers a modern take on retro. I love the color combination of the shade of blue and bright red in the piping the frame the pouch. XLs were sold out in both colors just a day after the brief was released, but using the sneaky tip you’ll only get from me. I found them on Amazon in XL in Red, though upon further research there are some AC online distributors that still have full-size runs on both colors of this LE Twerk Brief.

I’ve worn the brief two or three times since I bought them-a full day’s wear each time, and I honestly could be happy with an underwear drawer full of them. I suppose the only downside to this brief is that they are truly meant for guys with bigger behinds. So if you’ve got a flat butt and still want these, you may have to size down once, if not twice to get your desired fit. But be careful doing this as you may sacrifice comfort up front for not having extra material in the seat. If you ARE athletically built, or just have good big-butt genetics, don’t wait to pick these up, you will be glad you did.

Pros:

  • Incredibly comfortable, especially for guys with bubble butts like mine
  • The pouch is ample despite it being a brief focused on rear-end accommodation
  • Looks great

Cons:

  • If you don’t have a bubble butt, you may just have to pass on these.

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit: 10
  • Sizing : 8
  • Construction/Materials: 10
  • Styling: 10
  • Daily Performance: 10
  • Overall: 9.5

Review Petit-Q PQ40 Bikini

No Comments

SONY DSCPetitQ has become a brand I have associated with the idea of being a purely sexy brand that knows how to show off a man’s body. I had admired their sexy, skimpy underwear and was excited at the opportunity to review my first pair. I got the PQ40 bikini in the mail and was excited at slipping it on and experiencing the hype I had made in my head all this time. At first glance, the bikini seemed like a basic white brief. I noticed a soft comfortable feel to the pair in my hands, made from a nylon and poly blend. As I slipped it on, I was surprised and excited to notice that half of the front of the bikini was a sheer material! I thought to myself “this is the PetitQ I know!” Not only did they feel great and soft but they looked very sexy too. The hidden fabric meets the sheer fabric right down the center of your package, exposing half to whoever you want while keeping half under wraps. I thought to myself “if I push my package a little to the right I can be modest, but if I push it to the left, I can be naughty.” It’s a great pair for a guy to be a little sexy and a little conservative in.

I wore them through a very busy day at work which consisted of all of the normal movements with sitting, standing, walking, and driving which is the perfect combination to test drive any new pair of underwear. This pair passed all of the tests with flying colors! It was comfortable all day long and I had no problems with adjusting my package, riding up, or uncomfortable wear. This had been a first for me in a very long time. Any guy that goes through a lot of movement in a day, whether it be in a professional manner, athletic manner, or other, wants a pair of underwear he can rely on to be comfortable and not interrupt his plan. This pair did that. Many people would probably think that a pair of underwear that was novelty in fashion would not hold up against the normal movement of day to day way of life. PetitQ has managed to combine sexy and comfort in this bikini and I applaud them for that.

I wear a medium, size 32″ waist, and this pair held up to the size of my waist perfectly. It fit great around the waist, covered my package and butt comfortably, and allowed enough room for nothing to be smashed at all.

An important fact to learn about this pair of bikinis is that a novelty, sexy brand such as PetitQ does not have to be worn for a short period of time, such as a sexual fantasy. Sexy pairs of underwear can be practical, suggesting that after wearing them for a long day of work can still surprise your loved one when you get home from work and drop the pants! Anyone looking for a great pair of underwear to wear for the day that translates into a fun night in the bedroom should check out PetitQ.

Pros:

  • Comfortable
  • Sexy
  • See thru

Cons:

  • Slimmer sides
  • More options in style and color

  • Daily Fit = 9
  • Sizing = 9
  • Construction/Materials = 9

Review HeluxGear Brief

No Comments

heluxgear-brief

I am not the best person on Twitter. I have a few accounts I have to keep up with so I”m not always on, I’m trying to be better for UNB! I ran across Helux Gear on Twitter. I looked at their site and they are doing something new in the world of mens underwear. They have a pouch that is made like a double helix. Yup the pouch sort of wraps around to form a fly in the pouch

When I first saw this on their site it looked like it could be really cool or come off bad. So when they offered to send me some I jumped at the chance. I got to give these a test run and was super excited. The package came and it has three pairs in it! The first pair I will review is Brief.

I will say I loved the light blue color. It’s almost a sky blue in color. The pair put me in a really good mood! I slid it on and at first I was like. HUH? Its not a pouch I was accustomed too. It seemed to be a little lower. But with that said, when i talked to them they said the first batch didn’t have the exact pouch they wanted. So I kept that in mind when I put them on.

After a second I figured out to adjust myself in them and they fit pretty well. Granted I still felt a bit wonky in them, but I made me wonder if the day went on would it hold up.

The pouch, as many of you know is the most important factor for me. It can make a or break a far for me. So when you create a new pouch I am instantly interested and hope it lives up. After I got positioned in them and noticed it was a bit lower than i normally like. It didn’t constrict or bind me like I thought it may but felt like a normal pouch. As the day went on, I didn’t notice it was any different.

The pouch also is very functional. I know we have many readers who hate a fly in underwear. So when I got home I had to see how it worked. The fly is held in place by elastic. It’s not binding or cut off any circulation. I pulled the elastic on the pouch to the side and it was easier than most fly to use. I put it back in place and hoped it would go back in place. A little adjustment  was needed but it held everything in place. I really like the new innovative design.

The sizing was pretty good. I wear a size 38 was it right now and the large in the brand run 36-38. It’s pretty standard sizing as you would expect. The fit was pretty good to me so I doubt you will have issues with sizing if you get a pair. The waistband fit great and other than the pouch feeling wonky to begin with, it was a great pair that held up pretty well throughout the day.

Pros:

  • Innovative new design
  • Great color – Blue
  • Good sizing options

Cons:

  • Some guys may not like the pouch, it’s different
  • Only available in a two colors.

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 9
  • Overall – 9

Review Blue Collar Underwear Snake Charmer – Black

No Comments

DSC_0163__78826.1399443510.1280.1280This is my fourth pair of Blue Collar Underwear. I will say I’m impressed with them so far. The pair I’m reviewing on this review is the Snake Charmer Trunk. This pair I was super excited to get. The material felt amazing when I took it out of the bag. Super soft and felt almost rubber like. The second thing I noticed was there was a print on the pair. It was printed in black on black fabric so you really had to look to see it. It was super cool! This one was so much fun.

I slid them on and well…it didn’t fit. It was a bit too small. I was super bummed. I didn’t want to get a pair to review that I can’t fit in. Granted I don’t have a large backside, but it didn’t cover me completely at the top. I was really upset I love this pair. I decided to give them a try anyway. I figured they are on, the worst that would happen would be I would have to take them off during the day at some point. This wouldn’t be an issue because I had tons of errands to run and would be running in and out all day.

As the day went on I totally forgot that the pair didn’t fit me. Which too many I know is hard to believe but I did. I ran around and the pair didn’t slide down. I still find it hard to believe that it didn’t. I bought a pair once, I won’t name the name, but it didn’t fit and as the day went on it totally slid down. So I give them props for this and the awesome material.

The material is 95% Viscoseand and 5% Spandex. I don’t believe I have ever had a pair made out of Viscoseand before. I loved the feel. Much like the other pairs I have reviewed they had a defined pouch. They have really mastered the great fitting pouch. When you look at all their pairs each style has a great pouch. Lastly is the print, I love how subtle it is and how it adds to the pair with out making it appear over the top.

I wore these on errands like I said. So it was a some what busy day. The smaller size really didn’t detract from the pair. After I put on my jeans I never felt them being small again. I know it seems crazy but it didn’t bother me the rest of the day. I forgot midway through the day and wasn’t till that night that I remembered.

Sizing, well this one really didn’t fit me that well. I am 6’4”/245 and 38 waist. This said it fits 36-39 but I have a feeling it’s more 36. I don’t know if it was mislabeled or just a miss size. The other pairs I have reviewed never had an issue. We all can buy a one off that doesn’t fit 100% perfect. Every brand has them and I would say exchange it for a new one if you do.

Pros:

  • Love the materials the Viscoseand felt great
  • Again can’t talk about the pouch enough
  • The design printed was super fun

Cons

  • Sizing – it didn’t fit me
  • Some guys may not like the smaller trunk design

Ratings

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 7
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9.5
  • Daily Performance – 8.5
  • Overall – 8.4

UNB Fireman BriefI hope you have enjoyed the last two reviews I did. The City Brief by far has been my favorite. But now I’m on to the Fireman brief! I’m super excited to try a brief. Granted the other pairs were called briefs but they were more of a trunk. I admit I’m a big brief fan. It’s the style I wear most!

The Fireman brief is a nice brief cut. The first thing you notice is the pouch. It’s a very great designed pouch to give you plenty of room and support upfront. The pouch as contrasting piping in black, that off sets and accents your pouch! I found the pouch to be very supportive and plenty of room. It felt great during the day. Lastly, is the fabric it’s made out of a 95% cotton and 5% spandex. I would have loved a higher blend of spandex but it still felt great!

I wore these on a lazy day. Unlike the last pair that I put through it’s paces, this one was for a relaxing Sunday. I will admit it as super lazy and a much needed rest. When I lounge around I want a pair that is super supportive and holds everything in place. This pair did just that. I was able to just hang out in my undies and relax. We all have those days where it’s an undies only day to watch movies and relax.

The one consistent thing in Blue Collar undies has been the pouch. I love how they have paid attention to that. I definitely have a need for a pouch that has room and support. Sometimes it can be hard to find undies that fit properly. So for that my hat is off!

Sizing was very good on this pair. Like I have said I’m 6’4”/245ish on a good day. The sizing for this pair listed as 36-39. My 38 waist really felt good in these. They didn’t bind or constrict me through out the day. I can say with confidence if you pick the right size you won’t be disappointed.

Pros:

  • Traditional Brief Cut – which I love
  • Good supportive Pouch
  • Sizing was spot on

Cons:

  • Wish they had more colors – just black and white
  • Materials were great just like more stretch/spandex blend

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 9
  • Overall – 9

Review – Sly Collection Zebra Brief

No Comments

sly-zebra-briefsToday I had the chance to review a new brand that I had never seen before which was very exciting to me.  I was also excited about the chance to introduce my thoughts on this pair with all of the UNB fans.  The brand is Sly and I had the pleasure of reviewing the Zebra brief.  When I first opened the package I was excited to see the familiar black and white pattern thinking to myself “well, I don’t have anything animal print’ and excited to slip them on.  It reminded me of when you used to hear comments about being naughty for being red underwear, now it’s my wild zebra print!

Upon first feel, the cotton material was very soft to the touch which made me excited because I knew comfort was a clear goal for this company.  They are bigger than most of the briefs I wear but should be perfect for the man that is looking for something shorter than a trunk but covers more than a small bikini.  I wear a medium and they stayed true to size for me.  They seemed to fit just right, not feeling constricted or loose.  I also noticed a small black pocket on the side of the pouch about the size of a little square.  Let’s be honest.  If you want to wear these in hopes of taking them off at the end of your date, you don’t have to keep your condom in your wallet.

I decided to give these pair a run over the weekend as they seemed very comfortable looking for a day of relaxation and me time.  I slipped them on after my morning shower and prepared for a day of house work, errands, and spending time with friends.  They felt great when I put them on.  The material was very comfortable.  After a few hours of wearing the underwear, I did begin to feel partially constricted in the front.  The pouch did not give me as much support as I need and I found myself adjusting myself quite often.  This could also be because I am used to smaller briefs.  I would have liked to see a little more room in the pouch for additional support to keep everything comfortable throughout the day.  Everywhere else the pair fit me great.  I never had any problems in the back which is a relief when it comes to constant movement of sitting down, walking, and moving around.  This is a huge benefit for anyone who knows how it feels to constantly feel like your underwear is riding up!

I normally wear a 32 inch waist pair of pants and medium and most of my underwear. I reviewed the sly brief and a medium and I can honestly say it was true to its sizing and my 32 inch waist. I did not feel that the underwear was too tight or too loose so there was no need for me to even think of trying on a small or large because the medium fit perfectly. Many underwear brands can sometimes be misleading because they’re sizing does not match up to what we are accustomed to however sly did not do this to their customers. They managed to pull off the correct size and the correct scale for comfort.

Overall, this underwear held up good for my day.  Unfortunately, at the end of my day, I slid them off, condom still in its pocket.  Maybe next time 😉

Pros:

  • Fun print
  • Creative compartment with pocket for money, condom, key, etc.
  • Soft, comfortable material

Cons:

  • Not enough support in the pouch
  • Style – hope there is a smaller style (bikini like)

 

Ratings

  • Daily Fit = 7
  • Sizing = 9
  • Construction/Materials = 8
  • Styling = 7
  • Daily Performance = 7
  • Overall = 7

Review Blue Collar Military Camo Brief

1 Comment

UNB....Navy Blue Camo

After my last review from Blue Collar Underwear I was super excited to try some more. For the record they sent me 5 pairs to review. So you will read a lot more about the brand in the next week or so. The City Briefs just had me loving the brand. Would this love continue to the Miltary Camo Briefs?

The briefs are more of a trunk to me. Unlike the City Briefs these were more of a cotton fabric rather than nylon. This made me wonder if they would hold up through out the day as well as my previous pair. Without hesitation I put them on and set out on my day. I wore these to a really long and active day. I helped a friend out and worked an event for 13 hours. This was no ordinary day. Getting the day started at 5 am and non stop till 7 PM.

The first thing I noticed on the pair was the camo color. I liked the use of blue rather than the traditional green. It is a lot of fun. The next thing is the material. It really breathed well through the day. However, it didn’t conform to me as the City Brief did and at times it rode up a bit. Not a great deal but it was noticeable. This could have been due to everything I had to do during the day. I think if it had been a regular day I wouldn’t have had any issues. Third is the pouch, which was great. Blue Collar seems to have a great pouch in every pair they make. It gave me ample support during the day. There is nothing I hate more than a pair that looses support in the pouch. Why bother having undies if it doesn’t hold up and these did all through the day.

Sizing in these were very good. As I have said I’m 6’4” and 245ish with a 38 waist right now. These fit waist sizes 36-39 waist. Granted I’m on the upper end but it still fit pretty well. You should be able to find the right pair with their size chart. Like with all size charts if you’re on the boarder of a size you may want to go for the larger size.

I will say I am becoming a fan of Blue Collar Underwear. I have three more pairs to get through. One I temporarily misplaced, but I did find! They will be out next week or so.

Pros:

  • Great Camo Print
  • Supportive Pouch
  • Breathable Material

Cons

  • Rode up during the day
  • More of a trunk than a brief

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 8.5
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9.5
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 9

Review Mack Weldon Brief

1 Comment

Jumping JohnMack Weldon is a company that has been in the new. Literally, they were written up in the New York Times for using more realistic guys in their ads. This one thing gave me hope that the underwear would match the coverage (no pun intended) over the last few years. They are not flashy or have crazy designs. Mack Weldon is a more classic styled underwear line.

Mack Weldon sent us several briefs to try. Alex already posted his video of them about a week ago. Now it’s my time to try. When I took them out of the package the first thing I noticed was the bright orange. UNB James loves the color orange, but I’m not so big on it, but the brightness of it I really liked. The second thing I noticed was the size of the brief. These are more tighty whitey style than I am used too. It always scares me to try a brief this size. I get flash back to previous pairs that loose their shape and become baggy through out the day.

I reluctantly gave them a try. I just knew I would be cursing my underwear choice through out the day. It wasn’t until about 3:00 PM that I realized the pair was doing great and not loosing its shape at all. I didn’t do anything crazy just daily activities. The brief was M00B02-MY_1made out of quality cotton that conformed to my body. In the back they had something I didn’t notice till later. There is a fabric panel at the top in the back, sort of a crescent moon shape. I would assume this keeps the back from getting baggy and really be form fitting. This pair surprised me. One last thing is on the fly there is a super small branding tag that is just a cool touch

The fabric this brief felt amazing. I knew it wasn’t pure 100% cotton and has some spandex mixed in. The official list of fabric is 47.5% Long Staple Cotton / 47.5% Modal / 5% Lycra. THAT’S IT! Modal! Modal is one of my favorite fabrics for underwear. The way they mixed this in was brilliant. Previous pairs of Modal can be very thin and fragile. Get it caught on a zipper and that pair is done. This mix is really great and Mack Weldon out did themselves.

Sizing is always a big issue. I’m 6’4” and about 245 so not the small guy by any means. I currently have roughly a 38 inch waist. The sizing for the large I reviewed is 34-36. I was surprised when I looked at the size chart. Granted they were a little tight but they fit great. I prob could have used a larger size but it didn’t bind or make me feel constrained through out the day.

Mack Weldon really impressed me with the undies. This pair could have gone horribly wrong. They took time in sourcing fabrics and construction so my hat is off to the crew at Mack Weldon. Would I buy more undies from them? Absolutely! It’s a classic style that every guy needs in his drawer!
Pros:

  • Amazing Modal/Cotton Fabric
  • Great fit through out the day
  • Classical Styling

Cons:

  • Maybe too plain for some of our readers
  • Not in super bright colors more subtle color palate

Ratings:

  • Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 8
  • Performance – 9
  • Overall – 8.6

Review Andrew Christian Nano Fit Breeze Brief

No Comments

9437_1I will admit I”m a fan of the AC line for it’s pouches. In the previous reviews I wore the Almost Naked and Trophy Boy briefs. This time I have the NanoFit Breeze Brief. I have one other NanoFit brief and it’s one of my favorites. A friend gave it to me and I love it. So when I got the chance to try another I was all over it.

I was looking forward to trying the  NanoFit Breeze Brief because I had a busy day. It included  a Lunch with a friend moving this month, followed by shopping with another and Dinner with other friends. So it was going to be on the go. ATL was a little warm, well for this winter, 60+ degrees. So I wanted something that wouldn’t make me too hot.

The first thing I noticed was that the pair breifs really breathes. Its made out of a light weight material that had a great pouch that conformed to me. There is nothing I hate more than a pair that looses shape during the day. So I got my air cut that morning and headed to lunch. The pair really felt great, gave me ample support but the test was going shopping. Running around for a few hours I forgot what I was wearing.

This is giong to be in the top of my underwear drawer. As many long time readers know the top drawer are my favorites for every day wear. It will go in my usual rotation.

The sizing for Andrew Christian is pretty good. I got an XL to fit my 38 (and hopefully 36) waist pretty well. In previous reviews the legs were a little tight and this pair didn’t have that issue. The legs fit great and no binding at all. Make sure you double check the sizing chart when buying.

Pros:

  • Great fit
  • Has the great AC pouch
  • Made for an active day

Cons:

  • May not be good for a winter day (but perfect for summer/spring)
  • Sizing can be an issue (always check chart)

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction/Materials – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 9

Review Andrew Christian Trophy Boy Flaunt Brief

1 Comment

9489_ 8122 _3_

 

I was really excited to try this pair out. The previous Trophy Boy pair I bought from Andrew Christian has been one of my favorites so this one I hoped would live up to the expectations I had for it.  The one thing that struck me was the Trophy Boy branded waistband. Every other pair has and Andrew Christian logoed band. This one I think they did because if you see it over the top of your jeans you will know exactly what it means.

One reason I really like this range is because it gives extra room. Granted not all guys are a like, but those of us who need it, its always appreciated. Andrew Christian has done great things for pouches with men. It started with the Almost Naked line and now is part of the Trophy Boy line!

I wore these running errands again. From the time I got up till 6 PM I was on the go. I choose this pair for this day because I knew from the previous pair it would hold up well. And this pair really didn’t disappoint.  They gave me great support through out the day running around and being on the go. The worst things that can happen to me are to loose support or have the undies bunch up. I loved the waistband but don’t think any one who saw it knew what I was wearing. It kind of makes you want to show it off to see who notices and knows what it is.

Andrew Christian is good with sizing. He doesn’t go up too big in the XL but if you look at the size chart you should be able to find the right size.  I haven’t heard to much negative about their sizing except that many wished the upper sizes went to 40 rather then 36. But I have a 38 waist and the XL fit me very well.

The only complaint and it seems to be a common one with this is the legs are a little tight when you put them on. Not sure why that is but if you have big thighs you may not like these. I haven’t had this problem with previous lines but all the new undies from AC seem to have this. Things I did like were the pouch, which fit great. It gives you a very ergonomic support. It feels like the underwear was made just for you. I Love the new branded waistband, it makes you feel a little cheeky if someone saw it.

Pros:

  • Ergonomic designed pouch, feels made for me
  • New Trophy Boy branded waistband
  • Great materials

Cons:

  • Tight in the legs, so guys with bigger thighs maybe too tight
  • XL just goes up to 36 waist.

  • Daily Fit – 9

Review Andrew Christian Almost Naked Peek-a-Boo Valentines Brief

No Comments

andrew-christian-valenties-peek-a-boo-briefFirst let me start off saying this pair maybe out of stock. But, there are other colors than the limited edition pair. We got a lot of Andrew Christian to review. Over the next few weeks you’ll see them. I choose this pair because it was limited edition and for Valentine’s Day.

Andrew Christian to me makes really great underwear. His Almost Naked and Trophy Boy are some of my favorite undies. They fit me great and are made for a guy with extra up front.

There are several reasons why I choose this pair to review. The first was for the color. The Valentine’s Day inspired pair is red/pink with white mesh in the back. I don’t have any fun pairs for Valentines Day.  The second reason is the pouch is a separate piece and allows easy access. It seems to be a trend to create just pouches that either aren’t attached or just a pouch.

I said above I chose this, knowing I didn’t like pairs with pouches that detach or enhance. When I got to put this on I realized this and thought, “oh no I maybe in trouble.” I slide the pair on and the leg openings were a little tight. It made me wonder if it was too tight through out the day. After I pulled it up, it didn’t feel too tight. I just hoped it would last! Second, I slid my junk through the opening and put it in the pouch. The pouch really worried me. I was worried I would all our and through the day it would require constant adjustment.

As the day went on, I kind of forgot that I was wearing pouch underwear. The initial fears didn’t come through. The pouch was supportive and held me in place all day. I was really impressed. They did a great job on this pouch. The bonus was going to the bathroom all you had to do was lift the pouch up and then put it back down. Next the leg openings didn’t feel tight. I have had pairs in the past that drove me crazy and had to go!

I wore this pair running errands. I knew this would put the pouch to the test. It was about 6 hours of running around and driving. About an hour in I forgot about my concerns and just enjoyed the pair. It amazed me how well the pair felt. There was just the right amount of tension to keep the pouch in place all day. The mesh in back was a great touch too. Its sexy but not over the top.

Pros:

  • Fun Valentine’s Color
  • Great fit
  • Loved the mesh panels, sexy for Valentine’s day

Cons:

  • Pull off pouch – some may not like the fit
  • If you have large thighs the pair may be too tight

Ratings:

  • Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 8
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 8
  • Overall  – 8.4
