Undz Boxer Brief
There are so many amazing underwear manufacturers coming out of Canada that I was extremely curious and excited to have an opportunity to evaluate a recent boxer brief released by Undz.Org. Just to add some context around Undz, the company focuses on only two styles of underwear; boxers and briefs and only in solid colors. The intent is to offer trendy, low cost, and colorful men’s underwear. They also pride themselves on the fact that they offer a 30-day return and exchange policy on items that are unworn and have the original tags attached. Perhaps more surprisingly is the fact that all underwear is priced at $4.99!
This particular pair titled, “apple green” is offered as both a boxer and brief. The classic boxer brief is designed to provide additional coverage around the leg and additional support around the waist by incorporating a Spandex waistband. The materials consist of 95% cotton and 5% Spandex, which are washed again and again by the manufacturer to assure color quality and size control.
I’m not a huge fan of the apple green color, but overall it works just fine and the company name printed across the waistband adds a little stylish pop to the solid color boxer. They do offer them in other primary colors such as light blue, black, purple and grey that work much better. Clearly these are no nonsense underwear at their finest but for the price, you can’t beat it; especially in this economy.
I found this pair to be extremely comfortable, well-constructed and provide a high quality of materials and definitely represent practical and fashionable underwear. I wore these all day and not once found them uncomfortable or even realized that I was wearing a boxer brief. While I’m not overly excited about another plain boxer, I was impressed by the quality and price point. I would encourage you to check out their website to determine for yourself.

We have had the great opportunity of reviewing Croota underwear a few times since their creation and it has been no less of a thrill. They have been busy over there creating underwear for the creative, style conscious, and the playful. The WW-III selection from their World Collection is our interest for this review and honestly, this one pair proved they are ahead of many in the game.
At first glance, something about these stands out. That would be the pockets on both legs. It’s not a large pocket, so don’t think you can get pack happy! It’s a small pocket that could come in handy to store something to help you out a great deal in the near future. Who knows what may happen when you wear these Australia square-cuts. When you pull them on, go ahead and put something important in a pocket for your night out.
The pouch had to be my favorite asset to this pair. It provides you the much needed room for your assets and allows them to push forward.
I give this collection an A+ for creativity. The color combination is terrific. This pair, as pictured above, is called Ultramarine. It has an white waistband with two stripes of coordinating colors. As the major accent, the rear features the country letters AUS, accompanied by three stars.
The fit was perfect and hugged the body as it was meant to. As mentioned, the pouch offered a generous amount of room. I can’t express in words how well they fit me. The tag is sown so that it is not irritating to the back. On the tag, the advice given was “Best Before: Marriage.” That’s awesome! I have worn these through busy days at school and around town and I have also worn them for days sitting at work. In either situation, they proved to be comfortable and never binding. It’s another hit for the creators at Croota.

Everyone has to agree that the basic staples of any wardrobe consist of at least one black & white article of clothing. In my humble opinion, stripes play an important role in creating an interesting visual effect while adding a sense of classic styling. With both said, Ristefsky Macheda has hit the mark with combining both of these theories into one, hot, sexy brief.
Upon first inspection, I noticed the quality of construction in the seams and waistband. After slipping into these comfortable and well-fitting briefs, I quickly discovered that these are low-rise and sit nicely along the hips without feeling inadequate in coverage and support. These retro inspired stripes combined with the RM logo waistband make this style really pop.
As mentioned in previous reviews, I typically don’t gravitate toward s briefs, but you can’t help to fall in love with these because they feel incredibly soft and lightweight. The ratios of 95% cotton and 5% Elastane create the perfect balance between comfort and functionality. After wearing these the entire day, including a gym workout, I couldn’t find one thing wrong with this pair. The line is available in other colors including Black/White, Navy/Grey, and Red/Grey. There’s plenty of visual diversity for everyone!
I don’t know that there’s anything left to say other than this manufacturer from “down under” has it covered down under.

When I opened the package of these Baskit Yellow Utility Boxer Briefs, I was visually surprised to see a pair of boxers in this color that I wouldn’t otherwise come close to considering. However, this shade of yellow is actually attractive and it is supported by a dark grey waistband and trimming around the legs. Likewise, this pair offers a pouch which is also represented in solid white and lends itself to an open fly. While I’m not a huge fan of boxer briefs, I found this pair to be extremely comfortable and functional with the open fly which is unusual today with most briefs and trunks.
Their first test run included wearing throughout the workday while on vacation. This included a full day of walking and hiking the coastline beaches in Southern California. During the course of the day, I couldn’t believe the amazingly comfortableness this pair offered with a snug fit around the legs, helping to keep them in place. The waistband, sporting the company’s logo, and the dark grey trimming around the legs is what really grants these boxers a real visual appeal. With a blend of fabrics, which includes 95% cotton and 5% Spandex, this construction makes for a breathable and flexible pair of sexy underwear.
As shown in the picture above, the front pouch is a solid material with the repeated dark grey strip and functional fly. The pouch is constructed with additional fabric to create a pocket and enhance your package while remaining attractive and comfortable. It’s clear that Baskit is an expert when it comes to design, functionally, and the ability to create something new, inventive, and esthetically appealing.
If you’re like me, when it comes to underwear in general, I don’t want to be bothered with a boxer that will not stay in place and continues to ride up the leg. Having a pair that eliminates this worry and provides something attractive for the eyes is what investing in quality underwear is all about.

The title of these N2N pair of briefs brings a whole new meaning to the word, Twilight. I have several N2N pair of underwear in an array of styles/colors and I’ll have to say that thus far, this is my overall favorite pair. I love the sexy black color with light grey and yellow stripping that’s incorporated into the waistband. Give time, I suspect these briefs could gain equal share of recognition and popularity as the movie with the same title.
I wore these outdoors all day during a photo shoot and they held up extremely well in the heat and felt comfortable throughout the day. Perhaps these are conducive to warmer weather due to the fact that they are constructed with a blend of 90% cotton and 10% Spandex. Similar to a jock waistband, these fundamentally create extra freedom and provide a breathable fabric that makes them cooler than you traditional pair of bikini briefs. The baby ribbed material provides an extra sporty and textured look that gives their silhouette color an extra added visual punch (also available in heather, and white).
My hope is that these will hold up after multiple wares and washes. Like many high end designers, a slightly higher percentage of man-made material (i.e. Lycra, Spandex) or quality cotton could further their life expectancy and go a long way with an even more polished and finished look.

I recently had the awesome privilege in trying out a pair of N2N undies. I have admired N2N Bodywear for some time now, especially their sheer undies. Yes, I do love sheer if you haven’t figured that out yet. The pair I was given to review were cotton. No matter, I was super excited to try them. I wasn’t disappointed. They were super comfortable and I almost forgot what I was wearing. I actually had to keep reminding myself I was wearing them and I needed to review them.
My review pair was the white cotton Twilight brief. They are not the sexiest pair but are extremely comfortable. They are made of 90% cotton and 10% spandex and are ribbed. They love your body and are very comfortable.
The overall fit was perfect. They hug your body in all the right places and provide excellent support where needed. The legs don’t bind and the waistband is not too large and non-binding. There is plenty of room for everything you own.
I am super happy with my first N2N Bodywear brief and look forward to my next great experience in wearing their undies.

These Twilight briefs can be found at the N2N Bodywear website located at http://www.n2nbodywear.com. These briefs were provided for review.
The Twilight Brief is the first pair of underwear from N2N. I have tried their workout shorts and liked how they performed. I had wanted to review underwear by them and now I have been given the chance.
I was happy with the material, made up of 90% cotton and 10% Spandex. It is comfortable with a good amount of stretch. Call me spoiled, but I had hoped these briefs would come with a formed pouch. With all the brands out there which sport an accentuated pouch, I would think N2N might want this great feeling brief to give its wearer the most comfort as possible. I’m not a fan of briefs that push everything against my body, or in better terms, require me to form my own pouch.
The waistband is a color combination of yellow, gray, and black with the N2N logo surrounding the body. The band measures 1.5 inches (3.81 cm). To be elastic, it is a smooth material so not to cut into the body throughout the day. The leg openings are lined with a cloth covered elastic band. The altogether fit of the brief was helped by this feature. The briefs remained in place all the day of classes and lots of walking.

Hi guys. I’m Wayne, and although I spend a lot of time on the site, this is my first time reviewing. In other words, bear with me!
Recently, I purchased a pair of the Andrew Christian “Show-It” thongs. I know what some of you are saying right off the bat. ”OMG! That’s enhancing underwear!” Why, yes it is. I work in retail as a department manager, sometimes putting in 13 hours a day. I need a pair of briefs to provide the right amount of support so I don’t have to make the dreaded “crotch adjustment” in public. That was my reasoning behind this purchase.
Andrew Christian underwear is made in the good old U.S.A. Maybe someone at AC likes me, but every time I place an order, even though I pay for the regular USPS ground shipping, someone bucks it up to priority shipping without charging me anything extra. No complaints here!
These undies are made from 90% cotton and 10% spandex. The cotton makes them breathable while the spandex provides support in all the right areas. The waistband is only a mere 1 1/4″ with the “anti-muffin top elastic”. The designers hit the mark. Personally, I can’t stand elastic that bunches up or rolls over during the course of the day.
The “show-it” technology incorporates a cotton pouch for your junk. Slide them on, and with one adjustment, you’re pretty much good to go. It kept my package in place all day without me having to make the any adjustments.
I’ve worn these underwear two times since receiving them. They look great and feel just as wonderful (that is, if you’re into wearing a thong, which I can understand if that’s not your style). I was at work during both times I’ve worn them. The first time was for only an eight hour shift. No problems and comfy all day long. The second time I wore them, it was for a longer day…a 13 hour shift.
I feel the thong strap could have been cut a bit longer because after many hours, they were becoming a little uncomfortable. I powered on, however, and made it through the day. I’d have to say that for a regular day, or a night out on the town, you’ll be fine and comfy the entire time. Depending on how tight you pull up the thong back, you may want to rethink your choice if you’re going to be wearing them as long as I did.

After a long break from writing about underwear, I have returned to review a couple pairs I’ve had in my possession for some time. The next few articles from me will be playing catch-up in the world of underwear.
The first of these articles will be for the Rodeo Hipster from Croota, a nice, square-cut design with a forgiving pouch. In the company catalog of designs, this would be the SP02 in grey and size medium. This would be considered another great creation from Australia. Over the past few days, you’ve seen reviews for other designs from Croota. Seems these were accepted into the underwear world with open arms…or rather, open legs.
I’ve worn these a few times since receiving them. I love the feel of the material and the pouch design couldn’t be better. It conforms to your dimensions perfectly and allows them to rest in the comfortable material throughout the day. The 2 inch (5 cm) waistband, in red, white, and navy, is greatly pleasing to me as I love a wider, supporting waistband on any pair I wear. The leg openings are made from the same material (95% cotton, 5% Spandex), contrary to other brands tend to use a different material to cover elastic.
Not to bring down the happy mood created by Croota, there is one down side to my experience with this cut. Through the day, there were a few times when I had to reposition the back of the underwear. I guess it could be said that they rode up, not in the crotch area, but they did ride higher on the hips after a while of walking around at school and work. Of course, this is just a small downside as I probably have a different hip shape that other who might wear the hipster cut with no problems.

This pair was furnished by Croota Pty, Ltd for review.
I have written an article in the past for Candyman. It was the seaman brief with the chain and anchor pattern. I loved the fit of that selection. This brief, known only as the 9525 brief, failed to deliver that same great fit.
The overall look of the brief is great. I can definitely see the sex appeal it would create. Actually, just before writing this article, a very handsome gentleman I’m acquainted with put them on for a little modeling session. I have to say with his skin tone, his lovely Italian body hair, and his great build, this pair of underwear looked fantastic and would easily take the breath away from any onlooker. The pouch, generously filled….the rear, greatly accentuated.
But, I digress. When I wore the brief, its construction seemed a bit far fetched. The back wasn’t as uncomfortable as the front. There is a stretchable seam that runs from the top of the pouch under and up to the waistband in the back. The seam sits neatly in the crack, but it irritates the manly parts in the pouch. It basically tells your rod, “Hey, pick a side!” For those men who are more endowed, the seam will serve as a nice attribute as it allows the pouch to expand outward. I felt it to be unnecessary for me and a cause for irritation. As with a previously reviewed pair of underwear, these briefs had to be taken off before I arrived back home.
The brief is made of 90% nylon and 10% Spandex, making a nice stretchy and smooth combination. The waistband is 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) and doesn’t cut in at all. That’s always good! Not taking the seam into consideration, the brief feels awesome. It is definitely a brief I would love to feel against me all day.
