I’ve never bought anything from Pistol Pete, but have heard great things about the brand.  So I was very happy to learn I would be reviewing the Rookie Jock Brief.  The fabric is 72% polyester, 25% rayon, and 3% spandex.  Which makes the pair feel super soft and sexy.  The pair I received the royal blue one in a size medium, which sometimes is dicey for me as I tend to run smack dab in the middle of a small and medium in lots of brands.

I wore this jock brief on a regular work day for me, which tends to be pretty active.  Sitting at my desk, I loved the way this underwear felt.  The waistband was not constricting at all, yet maintained it’s grip comfortably on my hips.  As I wandered through the office periodically, I found myself having to adjust the pouch every so often due to the goods shifting around, which I attribute to the stretch of the fabric.   The leg straps were not too tight, which I love in a good jock.  I don’t think I had to tug on them at all during the day.

I love the colors this jock comes in.  Pistol Pete did a great job of using contrast stitching for the waistband and legs.  And the width of the the sides is such that from the front you’d never know these were a jock brief, providing an added element of surprise!

Pros

• Feels great on the skin
• available in multiple colors
• provides great support in the back

Cons

• Pouch stretches a little while wearing

This pair was furnished by Pistol Pete and is available for $22.00 at http://pistolpete.com .

With most good underwear, at some point during a day of wear, you should start to forget that you’re wearing underwear and not notice it. Thongs seem to be the exception to this rule as a good thong while not making you think about it all day. It will every once in a while rub the right way to remind you that it’s there. Made of a nylon, elastane, and lycra mix, the Bum-Chums Black Sneak Peek Thong does just that in all the right ways.

While a bit timid to immediately wear the thong for a full day, I felt ballsy (no pun intended) one day and decided to go for it. I’m very glad I did. They were extremely comfortable and every once in a while I’d move my body in a way that the thong strap would rub in just the right way. When that happens, it just makes you feel sexy for just that one instant, no matter where you are or what else you are wearing.

Speaking of sexy, these are sure to get some looks in (and out) of the bedroom. The mesh is beautiful and the shape of the underwear, both back and front is fantastic framing everything perfectly. The only place you may not want to wear them is the gym (between the thong rubbing, and the mesh not hiding anything, it may not be the appropriate activewear)

This underwear is a fantastic all-around thong. It’s smooth, sexy, comfortable and appropriate for everyday wear. Next time you think about being a little daring in everyday life, I highly recommend trying out the Bum-Chums Black Sneak Peek Thong!

PROS

• Comfortable
• Sexy
• The right kind of rubbing

CONS

• Not for gym use

I am reviewing the Malebasics Micro Thong. This thong comes in four colors (red, black, turquoise, and white.) and I reviewed the white pair. The contoured low-rise design of the pouch is made of a brushed Micro-Fiber material (Nylon 85% Spandex 15%). I usually prefer the pouch to be made from one piece of fabric with the lower half sewn together to form the cup of the pouch. This thong pouch is made from two pieces of fabric. A vertical seam is in the front. It is a thin material that is soft to the touch. It also breathes well to insure comfort during the day. The waistband and thong strap are thin pieces of elastic that have a great amount of stretch.

The description of this product online stated that it is great for active life. I decided to do an extra hard work out at the gym to test their statement. I spent about two hours doing cardio, weights and stretching. I have to be honest and tell you that it seemed like. Was naked under my gym shorts. I hardly felt any underwear the entire time I was going through my sets and routine. Normally if you sit in a thong too long the strap in the back can begin to feel tighter. I never once had to adjust the waistband or the strap. When i was in the locker room the pouch had been pulled lower than where it started. I also wish the front seam had more of a curve to the design to avoid the flattening that occurred in the pouch. Now keep in mind that since this garment is made as a small/medium there are going to be different experiences with fit in each person. The rest of the day I decided to keep the thong on.  The material is so lightweight i wasn’t wearing a sweat soaked pair of underwear. I just held it under a hand dryer and it was dry in minutes. (Yet another advantage of wearing a thong!!!!) The rest of the day I walked around doing errands before finally heading home. I  relaxed on my couch in just my thong. This is definitely going to be something i wear to stay cool when the hot summers of NYC start. I slept in it as well and woke up under my covers thinking i was naked.  Malebasics needs to rename it “almost naked thong”.

I really enjoyed the ease of this thong. You put it on and never need to fix or fiddle with the strap or pouch. Visually I was displeased with the placement of the tag on the inside of the pouch. Since the fabric is white and also very thin the label is visible through the front. Simple solution was just cutting the label out. This seems to be an issue with many thongs I review. There just never seems to be a consistent solution for the tag when it comes to designing thongs for men. The little details I didn’t like are all just personal preference and should deter you from picking up this sexy thong. Who doesn’t like putting on a pair of underwear and feeling like they are naked. It’s a great thong for every guy out there.

Pros

• Soft fabric
• All day comfort

Cons

• Tag placement
• Pouch drooped a bit while working out.

New from Extreme this month is the Dandy Mesh collection which features ultra-soft stretch mesh, black ribbed accents, and sexy stripes that open up lots of possibilities. We love the idea of wearing the underwear on warm summer days and layering the mesh tank underneath an open shirt for a night out. As you can see from the photos, the mesh fabric is not too revealing!

Gregg Homme provided us at Underwear News Briefs with several fantastic pairs of underwear and I was lucky enough to get the red PERFEKBUM pair in the square cut brief.  This pair was quite exciting to try as I enjoy trying undies, especially those that are new and have some sort of interesting bit of a new concept to them.

The Hyperstretch microfiber fabric is designed to cling to the curvature of the body and it did its job well.  The fabric was soft and ultimately felt like a second skin against my body.  The square cut brief in size large was a great fit and true to sizing.

After opening the package and trying on the brief, I found the quality to be excellent, the look was overwhelmingly sexy, the fabric soft and supple, and the rear were magnificent.  The pouch was conforming, comfortable, and lifting while the one inch waistband with the Gregg Homme logo patch placed on the center front.  The new and exciting bit about this pair of briefs was the elastic cord that runs from the base of the pouch between the buttocks and connects to the center of the back of the waistband.  This was the perfect addition to this brief to outline the buttocks and provide greater definition and curvature to the rear.  In addition to the elastic enhancing cord, there is a lip opening below the waistband in the rear where the cord connects to prevent unwanted stretching and bunching of the fabric.  I thoroughly enjoyed the overall look of the brief with the way it was cut, was taut against the body, the rich coloring of the red, and the feel of the fabric.

I wore this Gregg Homme square cut brief from beginning of the day until the very end of the evening.  I began the day with working from home on class related grading.  I shopped for groceries later in the afternoon.  After resting for a bit, I headed out to a new club I am beginning to call my second home.  After sitting, chatting, dancing, and some showing of my undies to my friends for thoughts on the pair, I can say that these briefs held up the entire day and felt great the entire time I had them on.  The elastic cord that provided a nice separation of the buttocks never was uncomfortable or had to be adjusted during the day for being irritating or out of place.

Overall, I majorly enjoyed this pair of underwear.  I liked the tightness of the rear, the feel of the fabric, the look of the brief, the stretchy pouch, and the elastic cord that helped define my rear.  I found this pair to make me feel sexy, be rather erotic, and was comfortable all day while going about my activities.  This would be a perfect pair of underwear for any guy wanting to show off his rear a bit or add some definition.  In general, I have no complaints about this brief other than I suggest washing it by hand due to the fabric composition and cord just in case the cord catches on some other articles of clothing and causes a natural disaster in your washer.  Now, the price may cause some guys to shy away from this particular pair of underwear, but it is a specialty pair of underwear that has some great features that will only create a wonderful look for the wearer and provide some added confidence.

PROS

• Fit
• Fabric
• Construction
• Enhancing elastic cord

CONS

• Special washing instructions
• Price

This year at Curve, I got a chance to sit down with Gregg Homme and see the new line. I will admit this is one of the best things about the blog, seeing undies months before the general public. Gregg Homme always swears me to secrecy until the line comes out. So, if you ask me, I will deny everything!

The new line really impressed me. It’s a very cohesive underwear collection. Everything to me flows together. There are many times I go and see collections and they are not designed to work together. To borrow something from Project Runway, I could see one guy owning every piece of this collection.

Gregg Homme really excels at fabric selection. I got to try the Voyeur brief and it felt amazing to me. It was super stretchy and conformed to my body. Other pairs in the collection share this care for fabric selection.

I have said this many times and will continue to say, “Gregg Homme does sexy, and does sexy well.” All too often you buy a super sexy pair of underwear and get through the day and it just fails. I doubt you will have this from Gregg Homme. Well, you could wear the Master to work; wearing armbands attached to your underwear could be a bit much. However the arm cuffs do detach!

This week each day we have more and more about the collection. Here today I thought I would do something different and you see the notes I wrote up while at Curve. Here are my reactions to the line as it was shown to me!

• Voyeur - SUPER soft and there are a lot of colors in the collection! Made with 24% spandex because they listened to customers wanted. Two thongs in this collection for dressing up or down. Small elastic waistband and a big demand for delicate men’s underwear. Available in black white, sky purple and red in 4 styles 2 thongs, briefs and trunk
• Perfekbum – Outside string that goes up the seat that defines your butt. I haven’t seen it done before in mens’ underwear that I can recall. Brief and trunk/boy short have a logo waistband.  Colors available in black, white, sky, purple and red.
• Hotshot – crisscross elastic with metal rings and back is super hot, sort of a basket weave. It’s definitely a sexy but different style, this is one you have to see to with your own eyes. Available in four colors purple, black, white and fireman red.
• Kenya – Zebra print – made out with see through pouch with an enhancer that shows off what the wearer wants to show off! Accents are made with rubber like fabric. This gives it a sexier look. Styles are string, thong, brief and trunk/boxer brief and muscle shirt.
• Booster – Enhancer pouch and super thin and feels great. Again they know how to pick amazing fabrics. This is one of the thinnest, stretchy, best feeling fabric I have seen in men’s Underwear. Colors are White, black, peter and royal blue.   Enhancer is made out of the same material as Voyeur with 24% spandex, Available in a Thong, brief and trunk/boxer brief
• Glory – One style group, it is a thong with metal eyelets surrounded by leather look straps. The thong is super sexy and bordering on fetish wear. It’s definitely now for the shy.
• Master – Brief with armbands attached to the back with a ring and clip. The bands go around biceps. Leather/rubber look fabric with detachable arm bands so you can wear it as a brief
• Heaven – Soft side being brought, with a more of a 9-5-comfort style.  This is a “basic collection’ done by Gregg Homme. Cotton/lycra with logo waistband. Made for comfort. Brief, boxer brief, tank and V-neck t-shirt. Available in white and black
• Mood – Same as Heaven but in Microfibre group. So a basic with a sexier fabric. It’s classic and sexy at the same time! Available in a brief, boxer brief, tank and t-shirt.
• Tropics Swimwear – Bold tropic print, Sunny print, and metal signature on side of waistband.  2 types of briefs, one with front seam and other with no seam. This is great for the guy who doesn’t like seams. Not often you see this done today.
• Ocean Swimwear – Basic with a capital B – Solid colors. Super soft martial Front logo will be silver metallic. Basic is not bad, at times you definitely need some classic looks. Available in Black, red, royal and red.
• Retro – swimwear with double waistband win fun colors. Pewter, royal, aqua, magenta, white and purple. These line very much reminds me of a retro almost 70’s feel. Available in six colors and as a square cut and a brief. So it maybe basic but not plain!

Go to the Gregg Homme site and see all the styles. They are amazing and fun. I will say this one of the my favorite collections of the year!

Gregg Homme’s own website stated it best. This piece is “blisteringly sexy”. The Gregg Homme Hot Shot Booty Shorts are a statement beyond any other this reviewer has seen. With their criss-crossing elastic side panels, discreet metal rings, and ‘liquid touch’ fabric this gladiator style undergarment is more than your typical short. It is a magnet for attraction.

The beauty of the piece does have its limits, however. There are certain things anyone looking for a piece of sexy underwear should know. This type of underwear is not what I would call an everyday wear piece. Instead this is definitely designed and meant for special occasions. In a similar way that a woman buys a piece of lingerie, this is lingerie for men. I have to state this because after wearing it under a pair for jeans for a few hours, the elastic stitching popped on one of the criss crosses. That does not mean it was uncomfortable, it simply means I think the movement was too much for the stitching to handle.

Throughout the day of wearing, this piece stayed extremely comfortable. The brief style top to the rear in conjunction with the thong base took a little getting used to; however, after wearing for about 10 minutes it was extremely comfortable. I greatly enjoyed the hybrid style of the back. Not to mention that the hybrid was wonderful at showing off certain assets, in both the front and back. Add to that the fact that the fabric is cool and sleek and this piece is a pleasure to wear.

Coming in all sizes and 4 colors (Black, white, red and purple) this piece is a must have for any man that is looking to show off his Roman side and have a sexy piece to show off all of the important assets.

PROS

• Sexy
• Comfortable
• Easy Care

CONS

• Elastic Stitching
• Limited Wear

What were the inspirations for each line, is there a story behind them?

The inspirations of our collections come from all different angles: we travel a lot, we read a lot, we web-surf a lot, so we are constantly bombarded by thousands of images from fields that are not necessary fashion.  We are also constantly solicited by our fans sharing their needs and fantasies and finally, we have an incredible creative team.  All this put together reflects in our collections.  As crazy as it may sound, a regular item from the day to day life could be the starting point of a new seem, a new fit or an extraordinary underwear innovative design.

Gregg Homme is known for its incredible use of super soft and stretchy materials, can you tell us about what you used in this collection

Our recent Liquid Touch Hyperstretch Microfiber that we timidly introduced in the KINK of the past season is making a definite statement in this new collection: there no words in the dictionary to explain the tactile sensation of that fabric.  The sponginess and silkiness and that fabric is simply beyond words and to this day, everyone who ever touched that fabric looked back at us totally mesmerized, trying to describe that incredible sensation.  If you get that feeling on your hand, you can just imagine what it feels like when you actually wear it.

Gregg Homme, for the last few years, has done amazing videos; tell us about this year’s video.

There are no doubts about that; our videos are tattooed with fantasies and sensuality.  Our fans not only appreciate them but keep asking for more.  This new campaign is exploring the angle of the Urban Spy Voyeurism: who can pretend not being drawn to check the cute neighbor walking around his apartment in his underwear?

Where did you get the idea for the plot?

We are well surrounded by a very gifted creative team: there is a perfect synergy between the internal staff and the outside agencies putting all the results together.

I am reviewing this fantastic Glory String thong by Gregg Homme. This black thong is made of 76% Nylon and 24% Spandex. The waistband and straps around the pouch has the look of rubber or leather. The straps framing the pouch fit perfectly. It seemed as if I had gone to a fitting to have this underwear built for me because the waistband was such a perfect fit. The thong strap was another piece of spandex but with a matte finish and  has more stretch to it than the waistband. The pouch is a very thin and luxuriously soft spandex and seemed like it was a miliskin spandex but the label doesn’t specify. Overall, the materials were a great combination to create this thong. The first thing i did was remove the big white tag sticking out of the back of the waistband. Its easy to rip off and I suggest you do that before wearing them.

So when I put on this thong it immediately felt like it was a second skin and I was going to really put it to the test. First stop was the gym. I did my usual routine of weights, core and running. It doesn’t happen often but I forgot that I had on this thong. The pouch is so soft and stretchy that I never needed to adjust and it is engineered to really hold you in place. After the gym I had tickets to see an Off Broadway show. This is usually the real test for me with a thong. If I can sit through two and a half hours without any discomfort than I know a thong is a keeper and it passed this test. After the show I spent a few hours hanging out with friends before heading home. If Gregg Homme made more color options I might just wear this style everyday. When I got home there was more activity with the thong but this isn’t that kind of site. But let’s just say everyone liked it.

Every guy who is an underwear enthusiast should have own some staple brands in their collection. Some might be more expensive than others but I can’t urge you more to make sure that you have at least one pair of Gregg Homme’s underwear in your drawer. As a man that wears thongs I have always admired the collections they design. There is a masculinity in their work even when it is just a few skimpy straps. I can be very picky when it comes to my thongs. They need to be comfortable, well designed, made from good materials and the craftsmanship needs to be excellent. The Glory String is all that and it still conveys a sensual masculinity. This is not my first pair of Gregg Homme and it certainly won’t be my last.
Pros

• Great materials
• Great design
• Very comfortable

Cons

• It only comes in one color.
• Tag sewn into back of waistband could be eliminated or made smaller.

Overall : 5This pair was furnished by Gregg Homme and is available for $27.95 at their site.

The pair I was lucky enough to review is the Gregg Homme Voyeur Brief.  This is a first time we have reviewed Gregg Homme on the site. It’s part of our week long celebration of the new Gregg Homme line. There will be many fun things this week, so stay tuned!

I will say when I first took the pair out of the envelope I was a little worried. Because the pouch looked a little small and I wasn’t sure I was going to fit in it. This was a worry I should not have had, after many years of seeing them at Curve, I know their fabric stretches and fits your body like a glove!

This pair I wore to work to see how it would hold up during a day. The fabric really was form fitting and a bit sheer. Which to me added to the sexiness of the pair. There is nothing better then wearing a sexy pair of underwear to work to give you a little bit of extra confidence through out the day!

The Voyeur Brief has a very thin waistband and it held up through the day. I was very impressed on this pair. My only complaint and it was a minor one was the tag bothered me a few times but nothing too terrible. The sizing is pretty much spot on and I had no issues at all. If you follow the sizing guide on the Gregg Homme site you should be fine!

These would make a really awesome date night pair of underwear. It is super sexy with a hint of sheer. It made me feel sexy all day. I would definitely recommend this pair for anyone who likes sexy underwear that wears well! It goes back to what I have always said, “Gregg Homme does sexy and does it well.” Unlike some sexy undies these you can wear and are not made to come off after an hour of wearing!

Pros:

• Fabric was amazing
• Sheer but not totally see through
• Sexy done right

Con:

• Only one was the tag annoyed me about 2-3 times, but wasn’t bad

The pair I got to review is the Pistol Pete Tease Jock. Having the feeling of support is most important when wearing a jock strap. But having the freedom is also important.

Mostly I have nothing but positive comments to make in regards to this jock strap. First of all, I LOVED the fit. It was very comfortable. At times, it felt as though I was wearing nothing. It was fantastic. The Sheer material was very soft and breathable which I love. The top band doesn’t cut off or restrict your waist. It has a very pleasant feel to it and it also cups your package very well. This Jock Strap feels like you are wearing nothing but yet I still have the support. Also the sheer material keeps you nice and cool down there so you don’t get sweaty as you can with wearing a regular jock strap.

The first and only con I have is that it is made of a thin material so I would be scared for it to rip easily or not being durable. Even though it moves well, if it was to shrink it may rip. But With the material being Sheer and pre shrunk, I don’t think it would rip unless pulled on very hard or getting caught by a sharp object.

Overall, This is a pair of underwear that you can wear daily or wear in sporting events. Just make sure the other boys don’t get too jealous of your jock! I would recommend this to any man that wants to try a jock strap that he can wear with any activity. Or for a man who is just getting into some gear wear. It is so good, that you can wear it wherever and whenever you want!

Pros

• Great Fit
• Soft Materials
• Great pouch

Cons

• Thin Material

The saying usually goes ‘Now you see it, now you don’t’ … but the Bum Chums Sneak Peek briefs let others see it all day long! This particular pair comes in black and features mesh-body brief with their signature, logo waistband. The Waistband is elastane, while the body of the brief is made of nylon and lycra.

I tossed these briefs into my gym bag, knowing that I would be heading out straight from the gym that night for and event before a late dinner. Upon first inspection, I noticed that the rise was slightly lower than a previous pair of Bum Chums I had reviewed a week or two prior. I preferred this lower rise, and also how thin and light the fabric was, fitting nicely under my ‘straight from the dryer’ jeans that night! I always enjoy knowing that I have a fun secret under it all!

Who couldn’t resist a pair of mesh briefs? Especially in a black basic cut like this particular pair! The briefs were quite comfortable, with a soft waistband and elastic trip. I really enjoyed the fact that these had a single-layered pouch; I have noticed that many brand double layer the front of mesh briefs for some reason or another. There is a center seam that runs down the front of the pouch, while the rear is constructed of a single piece. The cut of the brief accentuated my assets quite nicely, however, the pouch didn’t have much of a contour to it, squishing my ‘gents’ quite close to my body … This didn’t look right, I have come to find that for a mesh brief to achieve a certain level of ‘sex appeal,’ they have to have more of a pouch to properly present things up and out, as opposed to compressing them.

Like with all Bum Chums, my only real complaint it the large tag fixed to the outside of the wait band on most of their garments. This tag is far too large, and doesn’t have much of a purpose other than carrying a logo. There is a size and care tag sticker fixed to the inside of the waistband, which is meant to be removed before use, however, I am the first to forget such instructions. The pouch was also not quite roomy enough.

Pros

• single layered pouch
• sheer, soft mesh
• soft waistband

Con’s

• uneven seaming
• small pouch
• front logo tag

Jack Adams will release the new Gridiron Jockstrap on May 25, 2012 as it follows through on its plan to become a leader in the jockstrap market. This is Jack Adams’ third jockstrap style released in 2012 with even more planned for the remainder of the year.

The new rugged Jack Adams Gridiron Jockstrap was designed to capture the essence of an athletic experience. It has a thick two-inch waistband with a drawstring and a bold zipper front. Meanwhile, the soft four-way stretch mesh wicking fabric will keep men cool in the most humid conditions. This sexy jockstrap also provides the ultimate in comfort and support with the roomy contouring front pouch that Jack Adams is known for. It’s so comfortable that it will become an everyday jockstrap for many. Made from 95 percent polyester and five percent Lycra, the new Gridiron Jockstrap is available in four colors: black with white trim, white with black trim, black with red trim and black with yellow trim.

The Jack Adams Gridiron Jockstrap is available for pre-booking online exclusively at 10percent.com. Upon its release, the Gridiron Jockstrap will be available at other online stores as well as local community retailers around the world.

Coming off of a very strong first pair, I’m now ready to conquer another Bum-Chums review. But will it fair as well as its counterpart?

Coming off of a very strong first pair, I’m now ready to conquer another Bum-Chums review. But will it fair as well as its counterpart?

Yes! I’m thoroughly impressed with Bum-Chums so far. Their underwear is sexy, stylish, unique, well built, and not badly priced. The Bum-Chums In2Cooler Air Brief is no exception. Made of a cotton/Lycra/polyamide mesh blend, and available in white, black, and red. This brief encompasses everything that I’m starting to feel Bum-Chums stands for.

Take for example the mesh. Other companies mesh can look trashy, either cheaply made or just being too blunt in what is shown. Bum-Chums (while showing off a great deal in this pair) has found a way to show off the mesh in a very playful and classy way. The mesh is well made, and shaped to show off, but not totally expose.

They are perfect for the average day of wear. I’m not sure I buy into the idea of the mesh cooling your lower bits, but they are quite comfortable even during an early summer picnic.

If Bum-Chums continues in this direction, I’ll have a new favorite brand. They’re fun, sexy, comfortable and always leave me looking forward to the next time that I can wear them (as well as my next pair that I get to review).

PROS

• Comfortable
• Sexy
• Playful while still being classy

CONS

• Don’t clean themselves?

Recently WWD had an extensive article on the multi billion dollar, global men’s underwear industry. Men’s underwear has come a long way from when there was just not that many choices; & most were packed 3 to a box, purchased without much thought, time or attention. Men’s underwear was literally in the closet; worn for utilitarian purposes & nothing more. There was no fun in the search & purchase of men’s underwear, unlike women when they purchase shoes. Calvin Klein changed all that back in the 1980′s with his traffic stopping Time Square poster. 2(x)ist became the hot, must own, wear, seen & be seen in underwear in the 1990′s.

Today there are well over 100 brands that carry the designer’s name (Andrew Christian, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein); & those that have some sort of cute eye catchy formula (2(x)ist, C-IN2, 4Skins, 2Wink, 3G); until I created FU e=fu8 Underwear. Currently mine is the only brand that features my name and an enigmatic formula.  With a name like FU, I had to do sexy well made underwear (it would be a crime against male sexuality if I didn’t), and e=fu8 is my exclusive, trademarked formula for The Pleasure Principle.  Life is short, maximize your pleasure principle. I hope guys who wear my FU e=fu8 Underwear & those who see it will be reminded to carpe diem, & make the most out of their precious time; to spend it pursuing things that bring & enhance their life’s pleasurable experiences.

Unlike 99% of the brands out on the market today, FU e=fu8 is made exclusively in Manhattan, NYC.  This is due to my love of New York being the fashion capital of the world; and wanting something to be created in Manhattan’s resurging and famous Garment District.  It is my second home & is getting a second reincarnation; much like the Meatpacking District in NYC. It all started here in NYC; but so far, there have been buyers from Canada, Boston, Philadelphia, Ohio, Illinois, Germany, Austrlia, Portugal, California & of couse New York City.

I wanted to produce and design high quality well made underwear that will give guys confidence & that extra bounce in their step. The fabric is ultra soft and has a nice stretch, so you feel supported. The finest materials were sourced to make this underwear collection; the fabric is the best available, a plush high thread count 95% cotton, 5% spandex, I went with this premium & more expensive cotton; b/c I found other brand name briefs on the market use a very thin cheese cloth/rag feeling cotton that loses its shape after a few washings. I refuse to cut corners & sacrifice quality. I wanted to design & create something that I would want to wear myself (and I do) & be proud to have my name on it (and I am). I carry my current FU e=fu8 Underwear collection around all the time; people are instantly captivated when they see, feel & touch it in person.  At a recent birthday party for a female friend, before the evening was over, I had orders for 7 pairs from the guys at the party, and in a recent FU e=fu8 Underwear 2 day photo shoot, the model instantly feel in love with the Pleasure X8 Cut once he had them on; and the makeup artist begged me for a complimentary pair. I hope guys have as much fun wearing FU e=fu8, as much as I enjoyed designing it for the image & style conscious 21st century men who are always on the go.  FU e=fu8 Underwear is the bold, daring, new men’s underwear line that could… and the saga continues with jock straps, tee shirts, swimsuits in the not too distant future.

Our friends over at FreshPair.com sent up some exclusive Q&A with Cover Male. They are one of the newest brands on the market. The thing you notice most is they are fun and bright!

Cover Male, which just launched in January, has already had a great response from consumers. What do you think sets Cover Male apart from other sexy men’s underwear brands?
As Cover Male’s Designer, one of the main things that I try to concentrate on is always having that touch of elegance and sophistication in every single piece designed, not only to create timeless and classic undergarments for the modern male, but to create/boost the self-confidence and self-satisfaction that every man deserves. I believe that Cover Male works well on portraying these elements with its bold colors and modern cuts; making Cover Male the new “it” and “must-have” brand of the year.

What advice would you give to the man who’s not familiar with fashion underwear?
The advice I’d give to all men in general is to be more aware of what they are rocking down under. Men’s jeans are not as they used to be anymore. Low-rise jeans are now made to sit on the hips leaving the waistband of their underwear exposed. Their underwear is more visible than they think, a slight bend over or a lift an arm can show the world what they’re wearing down under. So make sure to have a pair of underwear that looks good when you accidently show off that side of you; just have one of Cover Male’s waistbands for that brief flash tease, it should do the trick.

Is there a style you’d recommend to the man who’s considering buying his first pair of Cover Male?
Yes, I would recommend our basic cuts: Waisted-Up Bikini and Waisted-Up Trunk. The comfort of these styles is amazing! They provide a great fit, impeccable flexibility and most importantly, a great workout companion under your shorts

I got to review another pair of the Male Basics lace underwear. I enjoyed the last pair MaleBasics and was excited to try another. This time the review Male Basics Triple Lace Thong. Its a lace front pouch with thin multiple elastic straps that make up the waistband. A single thong strap attaches to all three waistbands in the back. The pair was black (which is my favorite color!). I think this is a very sexy pair of underwear

Since the last pair was so comfortable I figured I would wear them to work all day. Spending 9 hours of sitting at a desk in a comfortable pair of underwear and then test them out at the gym. Its not often that I find a pair of underwear to be so uncomfortable that I have to take them off. After 6 hours they came off. This underwear is very hot but it is not a pair that you could wear for a long time. They are more suited as a pair of lingerie that you put on with the intent of taking them off quickly. Hopefully someone else is removing them off of you. Wink wink.

I had to readjust the thong strap several times because it was too short for a comfortable fit. When elastic is as thin as it was in this underwear it has a tendency to dig into the skin more when it is tight and this to be the case with the thong strap. Some people would think I needed to get a bigger size but the waist fit perfectly. The pouch offered less room than I needed. Perhaps if Male Basics continues to offer this product they would reconsider the length of the strap and use more lace in the front for guys that need more room.

Buy this if you want to turn your partner on. Just don’t sit at your desk too long wearing it.

Pros-

• Sexy design
• Fun Waistband

Cons-

• Short thong strap
• Flatted pouch

The Equmen Crew Neck shirt is the pair I was lucky to review. If you are a long time reader of the blog you will know I have tried a few different Equmen prodcuts. They are usually very well made and fit great!

If you are not familiar with Equmen they are made to strengthen your core and help wilt your posture. Which the shirt does nicely, it makes you pay attention to your posture. I noticed a few times how tall I was standing. Equemen are sort of shapewear but not exactly. I know that sounds crazy but it’s a mix.

The shirt I received was white and really fit in under my dress shirt. I don’t think many  knew I was wearing a t-shirt that wasn’t a regular shirt. I wore this to work just to see how it would do in daily wear. It was really great. It didn’t ride up, bind or really be noticeable.

With that said, I am not one to wear undershirts on a regular basis. If you are like me if you wear another layer of clothes you get much hotter during the day. Here in Atlanta, that week it was a little warmer and it was a little annoying. The other thing that is a pain is getting it on after a shower. It’s like you are wrestling to get it on. I think if you turn it inside out and put it on you will be fine, but after a shower it doesn’t want to move.

Pros:

• Great Fit
• Increased Posture
• Strengthens your core

Cons:

• Made me hot
• Wrestled to get on

As an avid underwear fan, I’m always excited to try out new brands.  However, I find it is so easy for me to just stick with my favorites on a daily basis, and I end up missing out on some great new brands that are out there.  Like this bikini from Cover Male.

There is nothing more patriotic than an all American made piece of underwear that only comes in red, white and blue. There is also nothing more patriotic than a great 97% Cotton 3% Spandex jock strap that just screams “please wear me on the playing field.” This strap from Pistol Pete is a [...]]]>

There is nothing more patriotic than an all American made piece of underwear that only comes in red, white and blue. There is also nothing more patriotic than a great 97% Cotton 3% Spandex jock strap that just screams “please wear me on the playing field.” This strap from Pistol Pete is a true jock that is meant for its purpose, support and comfort!

Wearing this piece for a full day was not as great as I had hoped, however. It is a great piece minus the slight roll which the pouch edge seems to do occasionally. This role causes the sharp edge of the pouch (a striking design from a visual standpoint) to cut into the inner thigh. Once laid back flat, however, the piece returns to its wonderful comfort.

This piece provides comfort, sex appeal, support, and a striking image. Though it may only come in a few colors, it is packed with possibilities. This is a piece of underwear for the American athlete in all of us. A definite must for any playing field. Buy one for the low price of only $18 and play ball!

PROS

• Sexy
• Comfortable
• Easy Care

CONS

• Roll of Pouch Edge
• Limited Colors

NASTY PIG SYSTEMATIC JOCKSTRAPS AND BRIEFS!

New for 2012 and hot off the truck, Nasty Pig’s latest designs are going to systematically blow your mind with their in-your-face bold color statement and slicker than slick design. Here’s the details:

Systematic Jock: The base is a heavy duty ribbed cotton pouch with contrasting edging and Nasty Pig’s signature racing stripes in two colors running down the center, but if that wasn’t enough, they’ve added multiple horizontal black stripes up the pouch.

Systematic Brief: At it’s base, the brief is also constructed of a heavy duty ribbed cotton but it’s the almost retro detailing that really lifts the design up to soar above all the other briefs out there. With contrasting outer piping and a black edging for the functional fly, this underwear is slick and stylish and let’s not forget… comfortable.

Both the Systematic Jock and Brief feature equally stunning elastic waistbands with 3 tone stripes and the make-a-statement Nasty Pig pig logo front and center. Both the jock and brief feature the industry-leading construction, fit and bold statement you’ve come to expect from Nasty Pig.

EVEN MORE NASTY PIG…

Although we haven’t “officially” launched them, Nasty Pig’s 2012 Edition shorts are now online and ready for shipping.

The Allover Trunk will be given the full fanfare on the weekend, but we launched them early so all you reading our newsletter could get first dibs on them.

I probably don’t have to mention this, but Nasty Pig does one run of their shorts each year. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, only to be replaced by an all new design the following year.

Andrew Christian has teamed up with Matinee North America to launch and sponsor the sexiest party this summer—eXposed Underwear Pool Party at Matinee Las Vegas! To launch the Memorial Day Weekend festival, Andrew Christian combined forces with adult entertainment powerhouse, and co-sponsor of Matinee Las Vegas, Randy Blue and his top models to create a sexy and playful video that will bring you back to your locker room fantasies.

The Randy Blue models featured as naughty football players and water boys are Derek Atlas, Jake Andrews, Quinn Jaxon, Marcel Cruz, Sean Zevran, Nicco Sky, Cameron Marshall, Brad Barnes and Brett Swanson. The coach is played by Matinee Las Vegas DJ Nick Ayler. The video’s concept is the typical beefy jocks picking on the smaller guys, however, in this video the shower scenes, the locker room interaction and the subtle actions and twist make all the difference. If the scenes don’t get your heart racing then Eddie Amador and Kimberly Cole’s song “U Make Me Wanna” feat. Garza will surely get you on your feet.

And, of course since the Randy Blue boys are the stars full frontal was not a problem for them. You can catch those shots in the uncensored version.

Thank you to Eddie Amador, Kimberly Cole, Garza and BigBeat/Atlantic Records for allowing us to use the hot track “U Make Me Wanna.”

Andrew Christian will host the eXposed Underwear Pool Party at Rumor Hotel on Saturday May 26 for Matinee Las Vegas. An entire pool party of hot guys in wet underwear?! Oh yea!

Kimberly Cole will be performing with the boys at Matinee Las Vegas on Sunday May 27.

NOTE: Our videos were getting a little too hot for YouTube so we will be launching our videos on Vimeo now!

My second pair of lacey undies left a far better impression on me than the first. The lace jockstrap that I tried out last week left a negative first impression of lace undies. This very untraditional boyshort comes in red, black, and white (I reviewed red) and is made up of 85% nylon, 15% spandex.

The comfort level was the biggest surprise to me. They don’t look at all comfortable, and I thought I would spend all day itching at hair getting stuck in the lace and readjusting, but luckily I was very easily able to forget that I was even wearing them, a characteristic of every good pair of underwear.

Lookwise, it’s on the way to being attractive, but it’s still not quite there for me. I love the concept, but the execution lacks in my eye, the biggest negative being the metal medallions on each strap of the sides of the underwear. They look great on the package, but out of the package look more like plastic. I was unable to easily remove the medallions (I don’t have anything to cut through metal in the house), but they seem unnecessary. I have to say though that the way that the underwear hugs the rear makes a fantastic outline of the bottom of the um… bottom. The rear view is very hot!

Available from the MaleBasics website for $19.50, the MaleBasics Lacie Boyshort hasn’t quite given me the incredible lacey experience that I’ve been hoping for since I first learned about them, but besides the great price, they’ve started to leave me feeling positive for the future of lace undies.

PROS

• Comfortable
• Unique lacey design
• Rear hugging

CONS

• The medallions
• Price

Is it underwear or is it men’s panities? Made of materials which feel very similar to women’s underwear, you would think this 78% Nylon, 22% Spandex brief belonged to a woman not a man. However, the cut and fit are definite made for a man’s frame. The constructed pouch provides support only a good pair of men’s bikini briefs can offer. Add to that the low hip cut and the crossed pattern in the back and you have a wonderfully sexy and very comfortable pair. Speaking of that crossed pattern, it gives just the right amount of glimpse to the assets hidden underneath.

Available in four colors (red, white, black and turquoise) the piece has a decent variety for most people. It is also cost effective. It is only $18 per pair. It does have a downside though. The garment is not washing machine safe and must be hand washed and laid flat to dry. The material, cut, and colors may be reminiscent of women’s panties but these are definitely made for men and are definitely a great pair for any man to have in his drawer.

PROS

• Sexy
• Comfortable
• Fabric

CONS

• Care Instructions
• Limited Colors

Timoteo, the Los Angeles based men’s designer that caters to the stylish and active man who seeks the ultimate in comfort and design, introduces its first collection to merge fashion with fetish, CellBlock 13. Made from spandex athletic mesh and nylon spandex fabrics, in sinisterly dark shades of navy, black and red – with a custom designed waistband boldly emphasizing the rawness of the brief – CellBlock 13 goes beyond the bedroom, ushering men into the adult playroom and beyond. CellBlock 13, by Timoteo, is available at select retailers and online now.

“We have long received requests to create and design a line for the fetish community,” said Timoteo Ocampo, Creative Director and Co-Owner of Timoteo, of the new line in Los Angeles.  “There was a void in the market for designs that fit properly and were created using the latest fabrications,” said Ocampo, “we are so thrilled to be launching a very specific brand for a very specific customer.”  Before launching his own label, Ocampo worked as a designer; first for XOXO and later at Baby Phat, where he helped launch the brand with Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee. He names Yves Saint Laurent as one of his greatest influences.

“CellBlock 13 is for the guy who isn’t afraid to show off how he looks and feels, or what he’s into. The line fills a void in the fetish market and extends beyond into other communities.  CellBlock 13 has an attitude skaters will wear and it’s tough enough for ultimate fighters.  Basically, the gear is for anyone with an edge,” says Ocampo.

The collection consists of a full range of underwear, jockstraps, graphic tee shirts, compression shorts and wrestling singlets and introduces a new twist on how one wears compression fabrics.

“The line is officially launched as CellBlock 13, a Timoteo Brand,” says Joel Johnston, CEO and Co-Owner of Timoteo. “This is the first of more future offerings that are targeted to specific customer segments from the Timoteo brand umbrella,” continued Johnston, “as creative director and head designer Timoteo as distinguished himself as a true American designer and his construction and fabrication are second top quality.”

Along with CellBlock 13, Timoteo is unveiling four new underwear lines for spring 2012 including Timoteo Sport 2.0 and Classic Luxury Mesh.

Timoteo launched ten years ago as a small storefront in West Hollywood, CA that manufactured select fashion pieces for men.  It has since evolved into a fun and hip brand that produces a full line of product across multiple categories including denim, sports tees, tank tops, underwear, swim and athletic wear.

“This season’s collection is about adding fashion to fitness wear with high quality fabrics that breath, colors that are of the moment, and fits that accentuate a well-toned body,” says Ocampo.

Staying connected through social media is a huge priority for the brand.  “Our customers are as active on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and other social networking sites as they are in the gym.  We have to maintain a strong presence online,” says Johnston.

Ocampo says the feedback towards CellBlock 13 he has received so far via social media has him very excited.   Ocampo said, “The overwhelmingly positive response to images we released through social media tells me we are doing this the way right way and people are loving it.”

“My job is to provide guys with gear that looks and feels good,” he says.  “Clothes that enable them to play hard in this game we call life.”

Ever wonder what it would be like to wake up and spend your morning with an Andrew Christian model? The Andrew Christian team got the “boyfriend” experience with one of our favorites, Jason Medina. The video is shot as if you are Jason’s lover, making you feel like you are there. The video begins with Jason waking up under the covers, smiling and blowing kisses. He then strips down completely for a teasing bubble bath. After that he shares champagne and downs a banana just before stripping once more to skinny dip.

We are curious what do you think of the new Andrew Christian Videos?
