We maybe an underwear blog but we love swimwear as well! We always ask the question about swim briefs but in the last two years we added in the swim thong question as well. Swim thongs have taken off big time, especially in the straight guy segment. It’s just amazed me we went from almost no swim thongs to brands releasing 2-3 a year.

For the last few years, we have had the Swim Brief Challenge. Where we try to get you guys to wear swim briefs and make them more mainstream. We seem to be succeding with our readers! Now is we can branch out to the public that would be awesome. I am super happy to see how many of you have worn them in public. Next to that, how many have worn to a private pool. You guys seem to like swim briefs! Which is an awesome thing.

More than 50% of you guys have either worn or want to wear a swim thong. Those not interested didn’t surprise me. Thongs are something you either love or hate. There is very little middle ground in the whole thong debate. Over 25% of you guys have worn a swim thong already. It shows this is growing more each year.

Here are the pairs you guys wear on a regular basis. Notice the swim thong is lower than board shorts? We need to change that. But the number one pair you guys like are swim briefs. I knew we had a fashion forward readership!

Share your swim brief or swim thong challenge story with us.

Choosing new undies is serious business. We all have our favorite factors that go into our buying decision. To one guy a pouch is more important, and another the back side is the important factor. We asked you guys to rate some of the trends we have seen over the last few years. Instead of asking we just wanted to confirm what we know and if you guys change your opinions.

This is pretty much a given. We all want underwear that is made well. We don’t want to spend $20 and have it fall apart after a few wearings. We want our money’s worth. 

Granted fashion is subjective to the wearer. We want something that doesn’t fit well but also looks great. We want to know we wearing something fun and now.

This is one for me it depends on the undies and it’s function. Date nights, hell yeah I want sex appeal. Undies for work I want more function over form. But you guys want underwear that has great sex appeal. I say bravo and always wear sexy AF undies. 

This is another no-brainer. We want underwear but we don’t want to break the bank. There are brands we will all splurge on. But we won’t buy the entire line. It goes into the decision making process. 

Color is part of our personality. In what we wear to work and out. Our underwear is no different. We want to wear our favorite colors. Personally it makes me feel better when I wear colors I like! 

I love this question. I knew this would blow out the VERY IMPORTANT. We buy the style we love. We are not going to look at boxer briefs when we want a thong. 

Sizing is a big issue. It matters if a brands sizing is consistent or off. We want to know the undies we buy will be the size that is stated. I’m not talking not looking at the size guide, but if it says it’s a 36 and you’re a 36. You get it and put it on and it’s a 33. That’s not a good thing.

We hope you enjoyed this peek into the underwear drawers of others, we have so much more to share!

Let’s get down to business. What is your favorite style to wear and what do you wear on a regular basis. We asked the major styles in this and we had some write in’s but for this, we are just focusing on what was asked. The very first question is what is your all-time favorite style. We gave you one choice in this question. So you had to pick just one.

The most popular style is the Brief. Almost 30% of guys say that’s their fav style. Next is one that has moved up this past year is the thong. It’s the number two at 21%. Right here is 50% of you guys. Next is the Bikini at 17% and the biggest surprise is the Boxer Brief at 14%. I was not expecting it to be so high. We need to up our boxer brief game!

Then we asked you what pairs you wear on a regular basis. So you can respond always to never. Here are each of these pairs broken down:

This was not a shock, not a lot wear Jock Briefs. It’s a pair that I think you love or hate!

This chart proves that thongs have grown over the last year. We have a lot of “never but a lot of sometimes. This is more than in years past. 

If you said jocks were dead you would be wrong. There are a lot of you out there who still wear them. It can be for working out or just fun. But More of you guys wear them than don’t. 

This was no shock due to the main graph above. The brief is the go-to style on UNB. It’s the classic we all love, including myself.

This one surprised me by the number of guys who never wear a bikini. I was not expecting that, at all. I figured it was a more popular choice. 

The Boxer brief didn’t surprise me. It skews more on the don’t wear side. I know most of you guys love more fun pairs that give greater support. 

Last is the trunk, It’s a bit higher than boxer brief but still skews to the Maybe wear category. But this tells us we need to cover more boxer briefs and trunks.

If you missed out this year, we will have new survey next year. Also, we will have several smaller polls throughout the year.

I need to dig in my underwear drawer and organize it and get them in order. I have let them get way out of hand. But I’m thinking I may need to change things up rather than doing what I am currently doing. Right now I have them organized by my favorites. The top drawer is my favorites, then second fav and then ok pairs. Then the others are in a tub in the closet. This has served me well but it’s not rotating the collection. Every so often I find a pair and go, “OH yeah I loved this pair.”

Here are the ways I”m thinking of organizing:

Organizing by Favorites

I’m lazy what can I say. Just keep things the way they are and go through the collection and put new favorites in the drawer and go through the older pairs and see what I discover. Sorta mix things up and still go by my favorite pairs. I mean it’s served me well for several years.

Organize by style

I know many guys like to organize by briefs, bikinis, thongs, jocks and such. It’s a great way to go through a collection and find what you need when you are in a mood to wear a certain pair. I could do briefs and bikinis in the main drawer, followed by Jocks, boxer briefs and thongs.

Organize by Brand

One I’m not big on is organizing by brand. I’d have to remember that Cocksox is in the top drawer and then Xtremen is in the bottom drawer. It seems like a lot of work to do by brand. I can easily sort style faster than brand. Plus putting away would be much faster by style or favorite.

Organize by color

This is one I have considered in the past. Color is very important to me and I love to wear bright bold colors. I can put my favorite colors in the top drawer and go down from there to my least favorite color.

Which do you think I should do? Which one do you organize your undies drawer by and what do you like about it? I’d love to hear from you guys.

So it’s been quite some time since we’ve seen anything “new” from our friends at Joe Snyder and likely for good reason. They produce a quality product with their customers in mind. Joe Snyder recognizes that their customer base wants swimwear and underwear that performs in all situations and they like to show it off! As such, they always ensure that their products can go from a boardroom meeting under your dress slacks to the boardwalk on the beach in the blink of an eye!

Joe Snyder has released three new products-a “Maxi Bulge Thong”, a “Joe Snyder V Neck”, and a “Joe Snyder Sheer Lounge Pant.” All three are designed with maximum comfort (and exposure) in mind and are sure to turn heads wherever you choose to wear them.

Their new line may be accessed at Joe Snyder and be sure to be on the lookout for reviews of the new styles soon! Let me know if you’ve already bought any and how you like them! And as always-pictures or it didn’t happen! We love to see our reader’s pictures wearing their favorite gear!

Alright readers, if you have been following my content I have been mostly writing about swim thongs. They are pretty exciting, right? Well I wanted to write to you today about Men’s Yoga Pants, especially these ones made by Go Softwear and how they have put me on the frontlines of gym dress codes of the 21st Century.

These pants are incredibly comfortable. The material is moisture wicking and actually quite roomy for the “boys.” However, I have scoured the internet to find ANYTHING like this. NOTHING. ZILCH. NADA. This is it guys, the only tight fitting yoga pants I could find.

Which brings me to my next point; Why are tights and especially yoga tights not made for men? Or better yet, why are tights maybe frowned upon today? What is…everyone afraid of?

I guess someone has to say it- I think people, even in the 21st Century are afraid of the sight of well…a penis. GASP. IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?! Yes people, and half of the people on earth today come equipped with one when they are born. That is what I think the elephant in the room is, pun intended.

So I have a little story for you all. I strolled into a local gym to work out. I’ve gotten into yoga recently, hence the pants, and after a yoga session, I would go hit up the free weights to get my strength training in. Well, I had been doing this for several weeks at said gym, in my Go Softwear tights and all without incident.

Then out of the blue a male gym attendant is standing in front of me after I am finishing some bent over rows. He’s looking at me, half glancing, in my eyes signaling he wants to talk to me. So, I take my headphones out.

“Yes…?”

“Sir, I’ve been sent over here to ask if you have a pair of shorts to wear over your pants. You are, um, too revealing.”

Granted this is in the weight room, in front of EVERYONE, listening to this AWKWARD conversation.

“No I don’t” I said.

“Well next time you come in please wear basketball shorts. Sorry to bother you.” And like that I was crushed… I guess the future would have to wait for Shawn…At least at this gym.

The next day, I strolled in, begrudgingly wearing good ole basketball shorts and I do my daily workout. Then out of the blue, GASP, another man in tights walks into the gym and rides the stationary bikes. I keep peeking from my workout to see if the REDCON 1 ALERT is activated for this man’s egregious choice in gym apparel.

Nothing happens. In fact, no one even blinks. NOTHING IS HAPPENING!

Now I am now for lack of better words…PISSED.

I knock on the glass door to the weight room manager’s office and speak to the gym manager to explain my case and obvious inequality in gym attire enforcement.

“Oh that’s Jeff he’s been coming here for years,” the manager said.

“So then why did I have to change?” I ask.

“Well no one’s ever complained about Jeff…” the manager casually said.

Might as well have thrown a brick through his glass door.

“SO SOMEONE HAS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ME FOR ME TO NOT WEAR TIGHTS? IF NO ONE COMPLAINS THEN IT IS OK??!”

Needless to say, the manager back peddled and insisted that MY tights were “more revealing.”

BS. Let me talk to the Director. And I did.

And guess what? Men’s tights are not prohibited on their national brand dress code and I was vindicated. Checkmate. Business as usual.

I continued to work out there for several months, but my job has taken me to a new gym, and I am now going through the same litigation to get approved to wear my Go Soft Wear tights. What is the world coming to? As I have found out surprisingly, it is MEN complaining about my attire? MEN!! Seriously!?

Being a trendsetter takes work and courage, and I will continue to fight this double standard between women and men and yoga pants everywhere I go. What do you guys think? Am I wrong?

Let us know below!

I became interested in sexy underwear over 20 years ago when I saw Covington bikini briefs at Sears one day. I would mainly wear boxers when I knew I would be around females and kept my fetish to myself for a long time. But now after being married for 14 years, it’s wasn’t easy keeping to myself. My wife does not like the underwear I wear but understands and is ok with briefs. She doesn’t like the thongs or jockstraps at all. After being honest with her and explaining why I choose to wear these styles of underwear, she tolerates it. (She thinks that I wear gay underwear) so I continue to wear what I want when I want but also respect that she doesn’t like when I wear them so, I still wear lots of boxers to bed and lounge around the house. Happy wife, happy life right?

I do not do social media and do not ever post pictures of myself in underwear. I will continue to use this platform to do so. I mainly wear briefs to work and change into thongs when I get home. I change out of my construction clothes when I get home every day. Sometimes I wear thongs to work(always with my belt on tight!) Some of my favorite brands are Andrew Christian, Obviously, Pistol Pete, Big Boys Pants, and N2N. I have approximately 75 pairs. I am a Medium in almost all brands and a waistband is a must for me.

This pair in the picture is by Cover Male. Model CML006 g-string Black, size medium, enjoy!

My career takes me all over, a great perk, because when the sun is out, I look to continue sparking the fire for Swim Thong Revolution. That’s what brings me here today to your screen as I share with you my adventures going coast to coast testing the waters, pun intended, of thong-ing in the sun.

This past weekend brought me to Seattle, a historically liberal city, whose exploding growth has brought people of all persuasions and backgrounds to shores of Lake Washington on an 80 degree Sunday. I figured I should have no trouble fitting in, and I was correct; Madison Park Beach in Seattle is a great place to wear your swim thong.

Nestled just south of the University of Washington and is hiding behind winding and secluded neighborhoods east of downtown. Madison Park is one of the few Lake Front parks with an actual beach. The sand is minimal, but few public shore line spots along Lake Washington offer a comfortable and inviting sunny weekend afternoon. With a dock equipped with a diving board, sandy beach, grass promenade, lifeguards, this past Sunday this parked was PACKED. Towels, beach chairs, Frisbees, footballs, wine, booze, loud music, children, couples, university students, retirees, gawkers, loaners, were present with Me in in my Pikante print swim thong.

The anxiety is always there. The moment where you transition from an unremarkable 20 something year old guy in Basketball shorts and T shirt to a renegade-trend-setter sporting a swim thong. That moment takes courage as you know the gaze of on lookers will lead to judgment, because YOU chose to be different.

This monumental moment in a new beach, new area, seemed fairly uneventful. The park was quaint at 10 am, maybe 15 people max around, and few really seemed to care. I got a few snickers from college aged mixed group in front of me, but that quickly melted away and I blended into the Summer Seattle scene.

As the temperature climbed into the 80s and the day wore on, here came the people. And no one said a word about my risqué suit. Soon I had neighbors inches from my towel and didn’t hear a peep. Maybe it was because I wasn’t listening, but honestly, other than a couple of stares then a shrug, most people were more focused on their summer day than me.

One of my good friends came down to meet me, this would be the first time he had seen me in a Thong. I actually was quite nervous for that, it’s easy to wear thongs…anonymously, but when you introduce this secret life to your friends, you wonder how it will change things. Well for my buddy it really didn’t change anything, as predicted. We go back to many fun days back at school and he just kind of was like, “you do you man, I aint going to stop ya.”

Once again, me and my buddy, and my swim thong just blended into the Sunny afternoon. He and I decided to cool off in the water as the temperature climbed. Walking back to the towel, finally someone had decided to say something.

“Hey I like your suit!” said this girl roughly my age. She was with her friend, boyfriend, and another guy friend. “I am in design and work for Nordstrom, and I really like that style,” she went on.

Instantly the whole group and I began talking about me and my suit, and how I wasn’t gay, and how great that was that I had the stones to pull off a suit like this so well. Turns out the boyfriend and his friend shared similar interests with me and we “bro-ed” out a little.

My buddy ended up leaving eventually, and I spent the rest of the afternoon with my new friends shooting the breeze, throwing Frisbee, diving off the diving dock, and listening to Weezer on their Bluetooth speaker. We exchanged numbers, instagrams, and said our goodbyes with plans to meet up sometime again this summer.

Literally, the whole experience was awesome. NEVER, have I felt so good about who I am. It is so refreshing to meet others who can be friendly and really just get along with some dude wearing a thong. Maybe its Seattle, maybe its them or me, but what a great Sunday it was.

To echo former stories here at UNB, just go out there and DO IT. Wear what you want and be yourself. You are in for a surprise on how rewarding a day like I just had can be!

It’s Thong Thursday! Follow the lead of Nick & Dan and rock a thong today. This is the Nautical Mesh w/ Almost Naked thong! Head over to Andrew Christian to find out more.

With our Reader Survey around the corner, we always ask about real guys in underwear. This could be our guys brave enough to drop their pants and take a few pics. Or regular guys on the internet showing off. It’s time we really start promoting the real guys on the site. This was sparked by a convo for the Brief Talk Podcast coming out this week, with ScruffyGear and UndiesGeek85. Two amazing guys who put themselves out there!

One thing that we have been known to do is a Brief Distraction. This showcases a brand, store, photographer, model or real life reader of the blog. It’s not just some random picture. It’s tied to the underwear industry in some way! Mostly it’s pics I think are amazing from brands and a link to the pair to buy. I want to get to the point where we can do at least one real guy/reader pic a week. I would be super excited to have more!

So what can you do? Fill out our form below with your email so we can contact you. Once we contact you share with us some pics and give us permission to run the pics. We can post your picture in one of two ways. The first is a link to your social media accounts. To help you gain followers and share your love of underwear. The second, to run the picture under a pseudonym without contact info. No worries that you can’t post it under your own name. However, we will need to know your name for permission but it will not be released to the public.

I hope you guys will be up for sharing pics of yourself in underwear, swimwear, spandex/workout wear and fetishwear. Maybe a little of all the above. One thing is we need it to be PG-13/R rated pics. Thongs and the back are ok but nothing 100% sheer or sexually excited pics (you know what I mean) or sex acts being performed. We will let you know if we can’t use your pics due to these issues.

We will start surfing throughout social media accounts and asking guys if we can post pics as well!
