I was excited to try this new line from Cover Male. I had been hearing great things about the fabric and design. If you are like me you can never have too many comfortable pairs of fun underwear. Sometimes a sexy pair of underwear and a comfortable pair of underwear can be a tricky combination.

There is that moment when you first touch the fabric and you know right away if you are gonna love the underwear. I got this design in vibrant neon orange. It’s definitely a pop of color. The microfiber fabric is very stretchy. The 4-way stretch of the fabric is definitely ideal for a thong. It has thin waistband and strap were very comfortable and never needed to be adjusted. The fit was perfect. The pouch design features a contoured pocket that lifts and supports, however, is a very low-rise fit. I personally could have used at least another inch of fabric. There were a couple of moments where I felt like I was falling out of the top of the pouch.  The base of the pouch was a little too small causing more pressure than I normally desire. I just think this design needs a few tweaks to really bring it into a real contender as an everyday thong.

I also thought the placement if their tag was strange. If I had left this big white tag in the back you would have been able to see it every time I wore the thong. I removed it but then realized that there are no other brand markings on the underwear. I would also suggest they rethink how they put their company’s name on their product.

I will wear this pair again but I probably won’t be wearing it as an all day item. I might wear it to lounge around my house in. I also thought about wearing it to the pool. The fabric would make a great bathing suit. I hope they keep expanding their lines and come up with more creative products using the great fabrics. They have a great start already and I am sure I will be wearing more and more if their thongs over the next few years.

Poor Joey Giorgianni never gets the love he deserves, but he sure knows how to sauté the perfect romance for our Andrew Christian models and real-life couple, Nicco Sky and Kyle Clark. The video begins with the boys looking sexy in their Andrew Christian V-necks as Chef Joey teaches them how to roll the meatballs just right. However, as the seasonings are added, the clothes are subtracted and shirts and pants magically disappear. As distracted as we are watching them, so are they in each other’s company; they can’t seem to keep their hands—and lips!–off each other. Against all odds, the food comes out perfectly, but we aren’t quite sure if the boys ever got a chance to finish their noodles and meatballs. Oh, we are so bad!

If you want to jump to the good stuff, start at the 9 minute mark on the Uncensored Version where Kyle throws Nicco on the counter.

If you are a Dancing with the Stars Fan you will recognize the guy above. He is William Levy a current contestant on the reality show. I bet you never thought you’d hear about DWTS on this blog. He is one of the most popular contestants and regularly gets much applause going well into the judges comments. However, there is a “scandal” with him, that he modeled X-rated pictures for N2N Bodywear. Please note the word scandal is in quotation marks. The pictures in question are not “x-rated” rather him modeling in mesh underwear. Yes there isn’t much to the imagination in the pics but they are not sexually explicit.

We have talked about the double standard in men’s underwear this year on the blog. I feel this is another example of how if this was a female contestant it would not be a big deal. I haven’t seen this on TV yet, but it has set the blogosphere on fire! Specifically entertainment and reality show blogs. I think this is pretty much a non issue. With that said it’s really amazing press for N2N, who couldn’t have timed it better since their new line is about to be released.

I would like to know if you feel this is a double standard? Please leave a comment, post on facebook, email us and/or answer the poll below. Show your support and on Monday vote for William!

Candyman is our current giveaway and also a part of our Magic coverage. I got a chance to see the new line and it’s very fun and colorful. As you have see by the video we released yesterday.

    Bum-Chums!  The latest entry into the growing mens underwear market is quite a nice brand to have found.  Hailing from Britain and featuring all British materials with the construction, these undies are not to be underestimated in quality, wearability, and style.  I was able to try the Fruity Blue-Berry Hipster.

    The soft fabric consists of Cotton and Lycra creating a soft feel to the touch and to the areas covered by the undies.  The hipster is basically a name for a basic trunk.  This pair had a roomy pouch and was very stretchy and conforming to the wearers body.  The hipster is bright bluish with a black band with pink lettering.  This pair featured paneled construction of two panels in the front and two panels in the rear and the hipster featured a back seam to accentuate the BUM.  I did not really care for the rather large brand tag on the left front of this pair of undies.

    The size large was a perfect fit in the hipster.  When opening the hipster, it looked rather large, but fit well.  I enjoyed wearing this pair of the Bum-Chums.  I did find that the hipster’s legs tended to roll up a bit, but made for easy maneuverability and stayed put most of day.  I wore these on standard days of general daily activity.  My jeans had no issue with clinging to this pair due to the fabric composition.  Overall, the fit was nice and I enjoyed wearing them.  The price is similar to other specialty underwear and comes in around the $20-25 mark per pair.

    Bum-Chums!  The latest entry into the growing mens underwear market is quite a nice brand to have found.  Hailing from Britain and featuring all British materials with the construction, these undies are not to be underestimated in quality, wearability, and style.  I was able to try the Black Sneak Peek Jock.

    The soft fabric consists of “Mixed Fibers” creating a soft feel to the touch and to the areas covered by the undies.  The “mixed fibers” are, presumably, elastic and mesh. The jock was a black see-through pouch with black band (with white lettering) and white leg straps.  The pouch was very stretchy and slightly conforming to the wearers body. It also featured paneled construction consisting of two panels creating the pouch.  I did not really care for the rather large brand tag on the inside back of the waistband of this pair of undies (I cut it out).

    The size large was a perfect fit.  When I opened the jock, I found it to look normal sized and fit well.  I loved wearing this pair of the Bum-Chums.  The cut of the jock made for easy maneuverability and stayed put all day.  I wore these on standard days of general daily activity.  My jeans had no issue with clinging to this pair due to the fabric composition.  Overall, the fit of the jock was nice and I enjoyed wearing them.  The price is similar to other specialty underwear and comes in around the $20-25 mark per pair.
