Men’s Underwear

Category

We got in a lot of N2N Bodywear to review. It has been one of my favorite brands to review. The pair this time was is the Performance Box. If you have been a long time reader you know I am not a huge fan of the boxer briefs/trunks. I really prefer briefs. However, these were not your typical trunks.

The performance line is made out of 96% micro polyester 4% spandex.  It was sort of a mesh but really was breathable. Back, to my distain for trunks, when I got these I was a little skeptical due to the pouch design. There didn’t seem to be a noticeable pouch.  However, it turned out to be a really supportive pouch

I decided to wear these to the UNB Swimwear shoot. Nothing would put a pair to the test, then having to run around the lake, making sure suits where in order, models shot and such. It was a cloudy but nice day and I was really impressed with these. They gave me great support and really breathed through out the day.  There was one thing that annoyed me, that was the tag. It rubbed me the wrong way a few times but not all day.

The sizing on the pair was true. One thing I have found in N2N has great sizing. Its’ not one you have to worry about running large or small.

Pros:

  • Great fit
  • Breathable through out the day
  • great for someone active

Cons:

  • Tag annoyed me

When you think underwear model the first thing that comes to mind is abs. Just about all the models you see are super fit and clean cut. We at UNB know that a lot of you want to see real guys in underwear. There have been emails and also responses to our Readers Survey.

This leads us to a new model in the world of underwear/swimwear. That model for Rufskin kind of breaks the mold. Granted he does have abs but he’s not clean-shaven. The model, Konstantino, not only has a beard but a very bushy beard.  When I first saw him, I had to do a double take. Then I noticed he has a beard more for a lumber jack then an underwear model. (The pictures he is wearing the Gemini)

Rufskin has never been one to shy away form different guys in their pictures. They have their own image of their brand. Rufskin has never been one to follow the rules of traditional underwear, in design or presentation.

This brings us to the question, would you like to see more nontraditional models like Konstantino? That aren’t super built or clean cut?

 

The pair I was lucky enough to review was the N2N Bodywear Luxe Trunk. N2N is one company that I love to wear and try out new pairs. This pair is made out of 92% Polyester / 8% Spandex, which makes it fit your body.  This made the sizing fit true, so you shouldn’t have to worry about sizing issues.

As I mentioned I love trying out new N2N. However, this one made me a bit nervous. The reason is there isn’t any elastic in the legs. It made me wonder if the pair would loose shape and not support everything. I soon found out that this wasn’t an issue.  Through out the day it held it’s form. When I made it to 3 PM I knew I was in the clear and the undies are well made.

I wore to work and didn’t do anything too out of the ordinary. It fit me very well through the day. I have reviewed a  previous pair in the Luxe line , that was the Luxe brief. The Trunk is a pair that one really lived up to the Luxe name. I would suggest the Luxe trunk is perfect for daily wear. It moves with you and gives you great support.

There isn’t much or anything I didn’t like about the pair. My only complaint could be add a few more colors. Which is a minor complaint. There were no tag, fit or construction issues. I loved the way it fit and N2N created a great pouch. It will definitely go into my underwear rotation.

Pros:

  • Great fit
  • Built in pouch
  • Great materials

Cons:

  • More colors

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

SEX SELLS and it is clearly working with the new Andrew Christian video featuring adult film star Rod Daily. The video is a montage of scorching hot (behind the scenes) footage of the Andrew Christian photo shoot. It starts by letting you see the playful side of Rod. He flashes the camera his perfect booty and smiles playfully to the camera. The next scene shows Rod holding up a sign that says, “Will Fuck for Underwear.” You can tell Rod has been a very busy man; there is huge pile of Andrew Christian underwear at his feet.

By now you have probably realized that this video is NSFW and you should close your office door! As Rod straddles the Harley Davidson, his big ol’ bubble butt pops out of his underwear, but as you can see no one was complaining! We can’t decide if we prefer Rod in or out of his Andrew Christian underwear.

You can decide for yourself!

C-IN2 has released the new Grip Line. Traditional cotton fabric absorbs moisture quickly and can quickly become saturated, retaining as much as 20-40% more moisture than synthetic fabrics. It is this characteristic that has limited cotton’s ability to perform well in active wear and performance apparel products. However, the absorbency of cotton can be significantly reduced with TransDRY technology, resulting in faster drying performance and greater overall cotton. Cotton fabrics treated with this technology can be engineered to show a 2000% improvement in one-way transfer of moisture to the outside of the fabric over untreated cotton and leading synthetics.

  • Available in Compression shorts, Army Boxer Brief, Profile Brief, Short Sleeve Crew, Long Steve Crew, and Strong arm
  • Colors are white and dark navy.
  • Prices range from $24-50

You can find these at the C-IN2 website now!

 

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.
