Ergowear Pouches—A UNB MINI-SERIES

Part III: The X3D Pouch

PART III: The X3D Pouch

Candyman Fashion furnished the X3D BIKINI by ERGOWEAR for review.

Rating: 10/10

Daily Fit: 10/10
Sizing: 10/10
Construction: 10/10
Styling: 10/10
Daily Performance: 10/10

Pros: Super soft fabric, great golden waistband, anatomical pouch

Cons: Couldn’t find a thing to complain about.

SALVATORE Recommendation: I was excited the day my Ergowear Review package arrived in the mail. I get new underwear quite often, but there is something exhilarating about receiving a brand you’ve never tried before. Ergowear has long been considered the “gold standard” in anatomically or ergonomically correct pouches by most experts. This begs the question that if I consider myself an underwear expert, how in the world had I never tried Ergowear? I’ve come to realize that sometimes even the most experienced underwear enthusiast misses something incredible.

As I carried the package inside, I went through my normal new underwear routine. I wen to my bathroom, opened the package, and enjoyed a few moments of solace with new arrivals. The first pair I pulled out was the FEEL SUAVE BIKINI. The second pair I pulled out was the MAX SUAVE BIKINI. The third pair I pulled out was the X3D BIKINI in turquoise.

I am definitely a fan of bikini briefs, but often reserve them for lounging and sleeping. This bikini is different. The fabric is unbelievably soft and the elastic in the waist and leg bands compliments the luxurious feel of the extravagant garment. I actually get more impressed every time I put anything Ergowear on my body. Their products are simply amazing.

Here are few things that stuck out to me:

Waistband: Because the brief is considered a true bikini, there is no large elastic waistband. I consider this to be a plus for someone that is looking for a low-rise pair of underwear without needing to give off the brand of briefs they are wearing. Not that there is anything wrong with the obnoxious waistband fad that is going around the men’s underwear industry right now. I kind of like it, but there are occasions where I don’t want my waistband visible when I bend over. This bikini does that without showing any crack. That’s important to a modest guy like me.
Ergowear Logo: The Ergowear logo is sewn front in center on the top of the brief where the waistband would be if it had one. This is simple and adds to the overall look of the brief. The logo calmly states that the wearer is fashionable and knows how to pick good undies. Some brands are over the top with their branding of products. Again, there is nothing wrong with that, but it is sometimes necessary to be a little more discreet.
Fabric: LUXURY! LUXURY! LUXURY! Ergowear pulled no punches with how incredible this Suave Microfiber blend feels on the sensitive region. The 95% Polyester and 5% Spandex blend is very soft, displays high elasticity, is a highly resistant fiber, and allows very little moisture absorption. One of the best I’ve ever put on.
Pouch: Pouches are my thing. I am constantly on the prowl for the most anatomical or ergonomical pouch on the market. I am even experimenting with custom made underwear where the pouch is custom fit to my dimensions. The pouch is the first thing I look at when deciding whether to add a pair of briefs to my collection. I can usually spot an imposter from miles away. The X3D pouch simply overwhelmed my senses. Not only is the fabric perfect, the pouch is perfect. The low profile seem is center sewn and combined with the highly elastic suave microfiber blend to give your boys the softest support and gentle lift that is indicative of a great ergonomic pouch. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

Ergowear has blown my fashion sense out of the water and reinvigorated my need to continue exploring the best pouches on the market. Every time I think my knowledge is at the top of its game, a unknown experience bounds into my undie world and totally lights the fire. Ergowear has been incredible to try and I look forward to adding several more X3D pouches to my collection. Most importantly, I can’t wait to get friends and family to try this incredible pouch. I’m blown away!

Next week, I’ll be sharing a bonus post. Candyman Fashion sent me an Ergowear style that I never wear and thought would be impossible to enjoy. Boy was I wrong. You don’t want to miss the next post. If you have any feedback for me or just want to link up on social media, hit me up on Twitter @manatomicallyme. Until the PART IV—See you later!

Admittedly, I’m a sucker for the waistband string bikini. That’s what this brief is all about. The shiny gold waistband mixes with the great color options put together by the brand to create a very sleek pair of underwear. I was impressed with the pouch from the get go. I could automatically tell that its anatomical design was flawless. I slipped on the bikini and the magic started immediately!

Because the brief is so perfect, I will highlight some of things that stood out most to me:

All in all, I have been super impressed with Ergowear. I posed this question in the Part I of the mini-series. I feel it is necessary to restate: How have I been testing and trying underwear for over 25 years and just now discovering ERGOWEAR? I almost shed a tear when I think that I could have started wearing this incredible brand since 2002. When they first emerged on the underwear scene. Can’t look back! Gotta keep looking forward.

Can’t wait to share my X3D story and bonus post with you in the next couple of weeks. If you have any feedback for me or just want to link up on social media, hit me up on Twitter @manatomicallyme. Until the PART III—See you later!

Waistband: I already commented on the great look of the glossy gold waistband. Even more impressive is the soft slimming fabric that just feels incredible. The band is an Ergowear signature that is 1 2/3” wide. The perfect width for a great look. This feature is not only attractive and sexy, it is functional in every sense of the word.
Center Seem in Seat: This completely rocked my undie world! The center seam in the seat of this brief not only felt great, it gave the rear ASSet a little lift that looked great in denim and workout wear. I figured the seam would irritate my hind parts, but it absolutely teemed with COMFORT. I loved the look and the feel.
Fabric: Let’s just say SUPER SOFT. Classic Ergowear! Nothing cheap about their products. Certainly the finest fabric went into this brief.
Pouch: You guys know that I’m a pouchy (my new word for pouch snob). What can I say—I love POUCHES. The MAX pouch was perfect for me. Great three dimensional fit that allowed my man parts to hang low and natural. The ergonomical design was flawless. This will be my conversion pouch. That simply means that I will refer people to the Ergowear Max Pouch for them to test drive. To see if they want to move from a highly restrictive pouch to a more anatomical fit. I loved the MAX pouch.

Review Ergowear Pouches—A UNB MINI-SERIES Part I

May 9, 2016 No Comments

MINI-SERIES INTRODUCTION

25 years ago. I embarked upon an underwear journey that began with discovery and exploration. A discovery of new styles, brands, and cuts, and an exploration of what I feel most comfortable wearing. The journey has been marked with several “aha” moments. That have left me speechless and, at times, baffled. Those moments have come to define my approach in attempting to find the best fitting and stylish underwear on the market.

A few years back, I stumbled upon the anatomical pouch through the purchase of an Andrew Christian Almost Naked Brief. Convinced that the anatomical and natural pouch was the only direction I needed to take in underwear selection. I purged nearly 100 pairs of designer briefs, trunks, and bikinis. Then began my personal quest to collect only underwear that were ergonomically correct in the front and center area. This has been a fun journey full of surprises. To date, I am nearing the 100 pair mark of anatomically correct briefs (my style of choice) in my collection.

This brings me to introduce this mini-series of post that will feature Ergowear and their pouches. The mini-series will consist of four posts. One for each of the Ergowear pouch styles and a bonus post that will deal with a shocker style that I never wear—at least until now! Grab some coffee, dim the lights, and enjoy these next few posts. Hopefully, you will identify with my remarks or be compelled to try out something that is reviewed.

SALVATORE Recommendation: I was excited the day my Ergowear Review package arrived in the mail. I get new underwear quite often. But there is something exhilarating about receiving a brand you’ve never tried before. Ergowear has long been considered the “gold standard” in anatomically or ergonomically correct pouches by most experts. This begs the question. That if I consider myself an underwear expert, how in the world had I never tried Ergowear? I’ve come to realize that sometimes even the most experienced underwear enthusiast misses something incredible.

As I carried the package inside, I went through my normal new underwear routine. I wen to my bathroom, opened the package, and enjoyed a few moments of solace with new arrivals. The first pair I pulled out was the FEEL SUAVE BIKINI.

Because I am a pouch snob, the first thing I did was go directly to the pouch. I was visually disappointed. But kind of expected it because I can typically tell by the pictures online if I am going to love a pouch or not. I did notice that the MINK color was pretty cool and almost completely match my skin tone. Nothing like having a nude pair of underwear to help you feel naked while wearing them. At any rate, I decided I that the FEEL pouch would be the first pair I would wear. So that I could work up to the pouches I was sure I would love. The other two Ergowear pouches are the MAX and X3D. I will talk about those in Part II and Part III of this mini-series.

I was taught early on in life to never judge a book by its cover. I am so glad I determined to wear the FEEL SUAVE BIKINI under jeans for an entire day while traveling. I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED when I put on the bikini and discovered that the non-anatomical looking pouch was indeed a natural fit for my boys. The Ergowear Feel Pouch differs from most anatomical pouches because it is not form fitting. It doesn’t hug or envelope the package like most other pouches do. I’m not saying that I prefer this over the snug fitting pouch. I am saying that this is a great alternative and helps to mix it up a little. Because the pouch is what I look for first in a great pair of underwear, this got my review off to a great start.

The construction on the bikini is superior to almost anything I have every worn. The seat offers a slightly less than full coverage back-end and stayed in place all day long (even while in the car for several hour). The pouch felt natural and never left me feeling restricted or bound. Not only did the pouch give me a boost, the butt of the underwear gave me a full and round look (great under jeans). I simply did not want to take them off. I slept in them and worked out in them the next morning. This pair of underwear had everything that I look for in perfection—ergonomical pouch, soft fabric, great elastic, sexy color, and awesome appearance. I don’t know how Ergowear has been around since 2002 and I am just now slipping them on. I FULLY RECOMMEND BUYING THIS PAIR.

Review Clever Fluorescence Latin Brief

May 3, 2016 No Comments

Hey undies lovers, today I’ll be reviewing the Fluorescence Latin Brief (5252) by the Clever brand (furnished by Candyman Fashion). Now, I have been buying allll sorts of underwear for many years now. I have been reviewing for quite a few of those years. Usually, before I try on a pair, I can feel the pouch and just by seeing it, I can predetermine if I’m gonna love it or not. I’ll explain more of the why later. This pair of briefs was on my Level 2 on the Pouch Awesomeness radar before I even put them on.

First things first, the color is my power color, a deep teal-ly blue. The waistband name, seam piping, and thread are all a bright neon citron. The brief also comes in a sexy red color. The waistband is a nice wide 1 ½” waistband, which sits nicely just above the hips.

The fabric is a rich 85% Nylon/15% Spandex microfiber blend which gives it that smooth hand. Besides the fabrics, my two favorite aspects are the butt coverage, and the pouch. I love sexy cut briefs like nobody’s business. Some of the time (not this time), if the pouch is super sexy. The butt is not cut big enough to actually hold the butt. But it isn’t small enough to be considered a tanga or thong. It’s just NOT a whole butt…I just want my butt to not feel like it has awkward side butt. Well, this brief is the perfect butt coverage. Not so baggy that fabric gets sucked into the crack vortex. Not so skimpy that you feel like stretching it back over your butt multiple times during the day.

Now, early I said this pair rated a Level 2 on my pouch awesomeness radar. That’s quite a good rating. The only thing that would have elevated this pouch to my Level 1 is if the seam under the balls defined the pouch more so it was lifted forward. That is all. I really do love this pouch. It’s comfortable, stretchy enough to make room. Nice front AND profile visibility of the prizes beneath…

This is going in my go-to undies pile for sure. I love the color, the fit, and especially the butt. At $25, it’s a great pair of undies for what you are paying for. I am so happy with the fit of the butt, I am posting my first ever undies selfie (well first ever posted on an underwear blog heehee). Here ya go world:

Pros: Fun, nice design, very comfy material, nice pouch

Cons: Very very tiny back

Furnished by Candyman Fashion

This pair of underwear, from the front is an awesome pair. I love the pattern, the pouch, how low cut it is, and the material they used. Now the backside, that is a different story, if you love leg day and have a larger booty, then this pair is not for you. If you have a smaller one then it will be perfect for you.

The Sizing for this was actually very nice; my waist is in the 32-34” range, and so some pairs it is a Medium others it is a Large. I received from PetitQ a Medium pair, and it fit my waist perfectly fine, pouch fit nicely, but again, it was the booty part that didn’t fit me.

Review Clever Neon Tree Brief

April 29, 2016 No Comments

Clever 5254 Neon Tree Brief furnished by Candyman Fashion

Rating: 9/10

Daily Fit: 9/10

Sizing: 9/10

Construction: 9/10

Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Super fun, bright colors, multiple neon colors and fabric styles, comfy and durable.

Cons: Just a tiny bit tight on the underside.

Beau Briefs recommendation: These are fun, flirty pair of briefs that will make a bit summer hit.

Neon, aren’t we all over neon? Nope! This was a super fun, flirty pair of multi-neon colored brief and I thought that they were a hoot! Maybe even two hoots.

The Clever 5254 Neon Tree Briefs are very well constructed and have super flattering lines, with no seams running right across your bum. Often with multiple fabrics there can be some slightly unflattering lines that distract from the overall look but with the layered effect this is not the case. The blue neon is the dominant color and is also a very soft feeling, which every bum enjoys.

The transition of colors is also very pleasing, see below:

The neon yellow acts as a great bridge between the two stronger colors and creates the lovely layer we love!

The pouch is also comfy and well-constructed. At no time during the day did anything get out of sorts or into positions it shouldn’t be. Everything stayed in its parking spot and was very comfortable. Of course the fabric is flexible, as any quality underwear should be, but not too flexible or thin to create too much “wiggle room” shall we say. The neon also helped highlight and showcase the goods which we all know is never a bad thing.

Now I mentioned that there were times when the underside felt a tiny bit tight but I have to say that that is probably much more to do with how I fit into the underwear and not the overall or general fit. Sometimes with my body if underwear has district pipping it can cause a tiny bit of pinching underneath, if you catch my drift. However it was minor and did not take away from my impression of the pair.

So cheer yourself up, brighten your day, and go Neon tree crazy!

Review PetitQ Two-Tone Green Floral Lace Bikini

April 25, 2016 No Comments

CandyMan Fashion furnished the PetitQ Two-Tone Green Floral Lace Bikini for review.

Rating: 7.6/10

Daily Fit: 6/10
Sizing: 9/10
Construction: 7/10
Styling: 10/10
Daily Performance: 6

Pros: Sheer, lace, true sizing, great print.

Cons: Abrasive fabric.

SALVATORE Recommendation: I was excited when word got to me that Candyman Fashion supplied the Spring PetitQ line for the UNB team to review. I’ve never worn PetitQ and couldn’t wait to give it a try. When the very skimpy pair of lace briefs arrived in the mail. I immediately planned a time to wear them during several activities.

Not only had I never worn PetitQ, this was my first time to wear lace. Before anyone decides to stop reading because you think lace is for women, give it a shot. You won’t be disappointed. After all, I’m not talking about a frilly lace (although, if that’s your thing, there’s nothing wrong with it). I’m talking about a very masculine lace that is two tone in color. It gives a very cool transparent look to your curves!

The PetitQ Two-Tone Green Floral Lace Bikini is very appealing to the eye. The fit is true and dynamically hugs the body. I typically wear an XL. The brief was true to the sizing chart supplied by the manufacturer. When I first slipped into the lacy greatness. I was concerned about how low cut the thin waisted elastic band was on the hips. Then I realized that I need to pull them up which created a cheeky affect on seat of the briefs. I thought this would bother me, but did not. I tried out my normal review “tests” by attempting to wear this pair like I do with everything else I review:

All day in jeans: I wish I could tell you that I made it all day in jeans wearing these great looking briefs. I didn’t! The lace fabric was so abrasive (not soft) that I had to take them off after only a few minutes under the jeans. I was bummed because they look so great on my body.
To bed: I definitely looked great when I dressed for bed that night. I snuggled in to for a great nights sleep only to realize that I couldn’t tolerate sleeping in the fabric either. At this point in my review experience. I was getting a little frustrated with the feel of the fabric. How could something so appealing to the eye feel so horrible up next to the skin.
At gym during workout: I knew this wouldn’t work out (no pun intended) well. I didn’t even try.

Because the first thing that I look for in a pair of underwear is the pouch design. Is it anatomical or not. I was excited about the room in the pouch of the brief. I would not classify this pouch in the purely ergonomical category. I would say that it is roomy enough to be very very close.

Other than the lack of softness in the fabric, the construction on the brief is top notch. The pattern is eye catching. The pouch is roomy. The leg bands and waistband are comfortable. The sizing was spot on for what was advertised. Unfortunately, the fabric is hard to overcome.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH SOMETHING SO GREAT LOOKING THAT CAN’T BE TOLERATED AS AN EVERY DAY PAIR?: I say buy it anyway and find an occasion wear you will wear it as part of a costume. For a very brief period of time (if you know what I mean), or as a Fetish Friday fun pair. Great underwear serves a purpose. Most of the time, the good ones are for something specific. My underwear journey is helping me to be more open-minded. Thank you CandyMan Fashion and PetitQ for getting me outside of my normal “MODAL” box and into the realm of the unkown—LACE.

Review PetitQ Two-Tone Yellow Floral Lace Bikini

Petit Q Two Tone Lace Bikini – Furnished by Candyman Fashion

Rating: 7/10

Daily Fit: 6/10

Sizing: 6/10

Construction: 9/10

Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros: Sexy as hell, great color combo, fun, different and unique.

Cons: Small sizing, rough fabric for full day wear

Beau Briefs recommendation: Have these on hand for seductive play but not for daily wear.

As is generally the case, the brand name should have given it away, Petit. The first thing that is impossible not to notice is that sizes with Petit Q tend to run small. So the fit was already going to be an issue. It is always important to know and REMEMBER that there are some brands that you need to order up a size. Oops!

So because of the sizing I wasn’t going to be able to try these out for a day long trial, like I generally do. However, let’s be honest, this is not really a pair that one would generally wear for a full day. These briefs have a purpose and it’s not comfort in the office. Its purpose is so that when you slip into them to let someone know that they should “come and get it.” they are going to come and get it!

This is a sexy pair. A seductive pair. A unique pair. And I love a good, unique pair of underwear. It means that this isn’t a pair that every brand will have a variation of, this is specifically a Petit Q pair. The light black lace is beautifully done and punctuated by the yellow flower details. The moody and yet sultry color combination is alluring and fun for the eyes. Of course, it’s also very fun to get the peak a boo view of what lies behind the lace as well. Well hello there, mister.

Given the lace and fabric the pair would not wear the best throughout the day and is not advised. That’s the trade off, sexy check, seductive check, a bit scratchy sadly check. Again, think about slipping into these before a date or when things start to get exciting back at your apartment. The construction is solid and the pouch has a really good structure. For a pair that runs a bit small there is room in the pouch for the goods. There are firm seams around the pouch that create a nice

pocket. I imagine that these same seams/piping that go around the butt would be supportive as well. Unfortunately they cut across my bum because of the size and I cannot fully know.

If you’re a fan of what Petit Q has done in the past. If you’re a fan of the linen and lace type of look. Or if you want to branch out and have a totally unique pair to play in then this could just be the pair for you.

Review PetitQ Hawaii Kini

April 19, 2016 No Comments

Hey undie lovers. Undies Rock here with another review for Petit Q’s Hawaii Yellow Bikini (Furnished by Candymanfashion.com). Petit Q is known for pushing the boundaries of men’s underwear with saucier designs. This bikini is no exception. From the cheeky minimalistic cut to the vibrant tropical pattern. This pair is total sexiness.

I have been a fan of Petit Q for quite some time for their fun and exotic styles. When they released their latest collection I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this bikini. I love string bikinis, and though they aren’t my go to style, there is definitely a time and a place for them. One aspect of a string bikini that either makes it or breaks it for me is the length of the side string. I hate it when the string length is only an inch or two. For a string bikini to be considered a string bikini to me, it has to have a generous string length for the side. This bikini sets the bar as the string goes completely from the crotch all the way to the rear.

I for sure feel a little more in touch with my feminine side with this pair as it has more of a lingerie vibe than an underwear vibe. The pouch and butt are extremely low rise, with just enough material to cover you manhood and crack. The butt is incredibly cheeky, and definitely makes you feel sexy. The pouch has a narrow design, and positons my junk in the center, but it maintains a solid pouch.

The 85% nylon 15% spandex material is thin, stretchy, and comfortable. But nothing special or out of the ordinary. I wore a size large which is rated for 34-35 inch waists. I am in the 33-34 inch range, and this pair fit perfectly. I think I could size down for a tighter fit if I was in the mood, but for sure this was the optimal size.

I test drove a pair for a day and there were a few things that I wasn’t a fan of. I found myself adjusting the butt throughout the day as it would ride up and down. Which became annoying. Also, the elastic trim is not the softest. I only say this comparatively speaking to Groovin’s string bikini. Which is crazy soft and comfy. Though this bikini is fine for office work and intimate occasions. I doubt it would be the right choice for athletic activities or lounging. The overall construction is good. But I can tell that it’s not the most solid. For a $20 pair of underwear I expected something that doesn’t feel like it was made in China. Also it’s always a pet peeve of mine when the crotch has a full center seam. Since the crotch is so minimalistic. Your package fits tight, and the center seam was irritating.

Currently you can find these on Amazon for $20, which is a little pricy for what you get. But if you’re looking for a wild to pair to spice things up, look no further. Because the Petit Q Hawaii Bikini is the perfect choice.

Pros:

· Fun/sexy style

· Minimal coverage

· Thin elastic microfiber

Cons:

· Abrasive elastic trim

· Butt tends to move around

· Not appropriate for every occasion

Ratings:

· Fit – 7

· Sizing – 8

· Construction – 7

Review Clever Flowery Touch Cheeky Brief

April 15, 2016 No Comments

CandyMan Fashion furnished the CLEVER Flowery Touch Cheeky Brief for review.

Rating: 9.1/10

Daily Fit: 8/10
Sizing: 10/10
Construction: 9.5/10
Styling: 10/10
Daily Performance: 8

Pros: Fun, bold print, true sizing, great mesh.

Cons: No overwhelming cons.

SALVATORE Recommendation: CandyMan Fashion contacted UNB Tim a while ago and asked the team to review CLEVER’s Spring line. Because the entire team loves undies, he agreed and sent out pairs for review. I recently wrote a post about mesh underwear, how to select great pairs, and what types of mesh to wear for different occasions.

I was elated when the pair selected for me to review was the MESH Flowery Touch Cheeky Brief! The mesh was not the only reason I got excited as I tore open the mailer. There were two other reasons: 1.) This brief has an awesome pattern (super manly) and 2.) It has an anatomical pouch. This brief is truly the collision of three utopic components to the perfect pair of underwear: MESH, PATTERN (instead of plain color), and ANATOMICAL POUCH! Perfection at its finest!

Mesh is so tricky in men’s underwear. There is the super wide hole mesh that is more for fetish wear (totally not me, but check out TTHEAMAZING’s Fetish Friday Column. I’m sure he will work in mesh at some point). Then there is the pragmatic mesh that can be worn for a myriad of event types. This brief is definitely practical in the mesh category. I wore the pair on three different occassions:

All day in jeans: I made it through the day wearing the brief under jeans. Mesh is hard to wear under jeans because the glans penis (head or tip of the penis) has very sensitive nerve endings that often poke through the mesh and rub on the denim. Not always uncomfortable—sometimes stimulating and often times irritating. This didn’t begin to bother until around dinnertime. I equate this to great construction and careful design implementation seen in CLEVER’s delivery of quality underwear.
To bed: What can I say? I felt sexy sleeping in mesh and even sexier knowing that I was wearing a very awesome pattern. I had no issues whatsoever feeling constricted in the crotch throughout the night. Very very good experience.
At the gym during workout: I’d say that this is the bread and butter of this brief. The fact that the mesh is cool and breezy and the anatomical pouch is very supporting allowed me to have free range of motion in a very well constructed brief.

I’m definitely a pouch snob. Read this and you’ll understand why. My underwear collection is almost exclusively ergonomical in pouch nature. I’ve never worn CLEVER before. This made me nervous about whether the pouch on this brief would actually turn out to be anatomical. The first thing I did when I slipped them on was take notice of the inner sewn elastic that separates the body of the brief from the pouch. I relaxed and realized that CLEVER had me in mind when they made this brief.

The construction on the brief is top notch. The pattern is super man-sexy. There is a center line going up the butt area to give you an added lift. An incredibly soft metallic gold waistband accentuates the design. The sizing was spot on for what was advertised. What else can a man ask for? NOTHING!

OUTSIDE OF THE BOX RECOMMENDATION: My wife actually came up with the idea that this brief could be worn as a swim brief if you got in a bind. The great pattern is not completely transparent and leaves enough to the imagination to make most people salivate. The lightweight mesh dries very quickly when wet and the overall construction is solid. We’re moving to Hawaii in the next couple of months. Who knows, maybe I’ll wear them surfing some day soon.

Review – Sock It To Me Boxer Briefs and Socks

February 13, 2016 No Comments

Sock It To Me furnished the Blamo!!! Boxer Briefs and socks for review. I was really looking forward to reviewing the pair.

Rating: 8.5/10

Daily Fit: 8/10
Sizing: 9/10
Construction: 9.5/10
Styling: 8/10
Daily Performance: 8.5

Pros: Fun, bold color, good/compact sizing, great durability.

Cons: No overwhelming cons.

UNB Tim recommendation: If boxer briefs are your cut, these are wonderful.

Sock it to Me contacted us a while back and wanted to know if we would review some boxer briefs and socks. Well, that was a no brainer! A company that made matching socks and undies. Yes we were going to review. They sent us four pairs, two for myself and two for UNB Brady. UNB Brady I have nicked named our Style Guru. Don’t let him fool you he’s got style!

I was going to wear these on a trip I was going on and for the event I went too. But running around the house that morning it really wasn’t giving me support I needed through the day. So I took them off and but on another pair. I wanted to give them a good chance and this wasn’t it. But, I kept the socks on. Which I love! Colorful socks are my new love!

The next day I had a good 2 hour drive home. I decided to give them a chance. It should be noted I’m not a huge boxer brief fan. So I know my limits when I wear them. The pair did well with travel. They didn’t bunch up or ride up. I even noticed this when I was running around. They really held their place it limited a lot of my issues with boxer briefs. The only issue I had is I wished it had more support. It’s a personal preference that I have in all undies.

Back to the boxer briefs. As I mentioned they were really well made. I was really impressed. The fabric and fit were very good for daily wear. The print is my favorite. It’s a comic book type print with all the sayings when the hero gets into a fight. On the read background it really pops. Super fun print.

The sizing was pretty good for this pair. I received an XL and it fit well. I’m a bit bigger than the upper side of the scale and it didn’t fit too tight. They have pretty standard sizing for an American brand. If you see the sizing chart a medium is 32 and a large is a 36. So good job on the sizing

Let’s talk about the socks! I loved these socks. They aren’t matchy matchy. Meaning they aren’t the same print on both. They sort of mimic the boxer briefs. They are a great compliment to the undies. How often can you show the world your underwear through your socks! My one issue I had was I’m 11.5 shoe size and it was a little tight putting on. After they were on I had no issues. If you have a 12 or large you may have issues putting the socks on. The socks were great and kept my feet warm through out the day. It was awesome!

BRAND: Sock It To me

REVIEW: Nukleus Nicobar Minis R Brief

January 28, 2016 No Comments

If you know me, you know that I love trying new brands and styles of underwear. I am pretty open minded and will always try something at least once. When I found out that I was getting a pair of Nukleus briefs to review (furnished by Underwear Concept) I was ecstatic. Nukleus is one of the companies that are not out to make a quick buck or get famous from producing undies. They pride themselves on one simple though. “To create everyday solutions for amazing people – our customers.” When I read this on their website, I though, WOW here is a company that really gets their customers. On top of having a great branding strategy (sorry the marketing major got the best of me their) they also create undies “Using innovative and sustainable production methods. we make underwear and basics from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, Lenzing Tencel and organic bamboo.” Which I find very awesome! Undies for the betterment of the planet, sign me up!

I had the opportunity to review the Nukleus Nicobar Minis R brief, in a size medium. These undies look amazing and are super comfortable. The green color scheme is very earthy and I think is a great representation of their brand. These undies are made from 95% organic bamboo and 5% spandex. If you have never worn anything made with bamboo fiber you are missing out. This fabric is amazing. It is very light weight but durable and the spandex makes it very stretchy so these undies move with you all day. The construction is very traditional when it comes to a brief. The legs are not cut to high and the pouch is very roomy with and they have plenty of coverage around the back. I wear a 32 inch waist and the mediums fit perfect.

I really like the waistband as well. It is a two-tone elastic logo waistband with a very soft feel to the inside. I love wearing these for just about any occasion. I have worn them to work as well as to the gym and have never had any issue with them. The bamboo offers a nice organic anti-microbial element which makes these a great pair of gym undies.

PROS:

· Great Company with great values

· The fabric is amazing and encourage everyone to research and try organic bamboo

· Comfortable waistband and construction that moves with you all day.

CONS:

· I love the color but wish their was a little more excitement to it. They are pretty plain.

RATEINGS:

· Daily Fit – 10

· Sizing – 10

· Construction/Materials – 10

· Styling – 8

· Daily Performance – 9

· OVERALL – 9.4

This pair was furnished for review by Nukleus. These come in an assortment of green colors and can be found through the Underwear Concept store for $6.99.

Review – Ken Wroy London Brief

January 20, 2016 No Comments

Ken Wroy is a very interesting company. The last pair I reviewed was a trunk that I actually liked. The fit of the brand was pretty good. Now they have furnished us the London Brief to review. It’s part of their new Great Skyline collection. The Great Skyline collection is a take on the NYC print they had but now used the skylines of other cities. It’s a really cool line. I was really looking forward to trying it.

The first thing I noticed was the fabric. Most of the other pairs I have seen from Ken Wroy have been cotton. This is a 89% Polyester/11% Spandex. It felt great when I took it out of the box. Oh, before I forget the box is pretty awesome. It comes in this travel box and is super fun. Its not for those who want to be discreet! Everyone will know you are getting underwear! (see the picture). Back to the pair! The gold waistband really works with this pair. It sets off the print nicely and tops the pair just perfect. The red city print in the London pair is my favorite. But all the prints are pretty awesome.

I wore the pair to a party. I felt this pair deserved some fun night. I really didn’t dress up the theme was funky t-shirts. The pair felt just as great on as it did when I took it out of the box. The spandex in the blend made it stretch and fit great. This pair really surprised me how well I thought I would like. The design was amazing but the fit was very good as well. I have no real complaints with this pair in wearing. Other than I want the entire collection of cities now!

The sizing was pretty spot on. The XL I received said it was for 37-39. I thought when I took them out they maybe a bit tight as I am a bit bigger than the size. However, this was not the case it fit amazing and the fabric still held it’s form and shape. The sizing should match their guide pretty well.

PROS:

Amazing fun design of City Scapes
Great fabric that moves with you
Gold waistband is a great touch

CONS:

If you’re not a fan of bright prints you may not like this
The waistband maybe over the top for some of you

Ratings:

Daily Fit – 9
Sizing – 9
Construction/Materials – 10
Styling – 10
Daily Performance -9
Overall – 9.6

Review WildmanT Mesh Big Boy Pouch Brief.

January 17, 2016 1 Comment

There is a new pouch on the block and it’s made by WildmanT. It’s called the Big Boy Pouch! The name is quite appropriate for the collection. I received the Big Boy Pouch Brief to review. It was on the top of my list this year to get and try. I am a huge lover of great pouches. When WIldmanT agreed to send me one I was super psyched!

The pair is made out of a sports mesh type material. Right now it’s only available in black. This makes it slightly see through but not over the top. When I went to put on the pair is like my brain slammed on the brakes. The pouch sort of looked like one of those where you stick your junk through it and it enhances. So my excitement went to “oh man.” But being the trooper I put them on. And WOW. The elastic around the pouch wasn’t there to super enhance your pouch. It was made to give some great support.

The pouch just felt amazing. It holds everything in one place and while yeah it probably has some enhancing qualities its made for comfort. I don’t know how Tim at WildmanT made this but WOW. My initial impression in no way lived up to the reality. He designed a truly unique and new pouch. Which is quickly moving up my favorite pouches in underwear. I am in love with this pair.

I wore this pair on an active day. It held up so great. The fabric moved with me through out the day. And the pouch gave great support and enough enhancing without making it seem over the top. One thing about the fabric, I wore it on a cold day and there were a few times when the wind picked up and I was like “Hello.” You could feel the breeze. I would suggest to wear it on a warmer day or wear it and be damned!

WildmanT has some great sizing. I received an XL and it fit amazing. The waistband wasn’t too tight and the fabric and cut fit great. I don’t think I have ever had an issue with the underwear from them. As always double check the size guide to get the correct size.

Pros:

The super amazing pouch design
Great fabrics that fit well through out the day
Mesh is slightly see through and fun

Cons:

May not wear on a cold day! You could get a breeze
Some may not like the mesh fabric
Only available in black, I want it in more colors!

Ratings:

Daily Fit – 10
Sizing – 10
Construction/Materials – 10
Styling – 10
Daily Performance -10
Overall – 10

This pair gets a rare 10 out of 10 from me because there is so much to love about this pair. The fit, style and daily wear were off the charts. Find the WildmanT Mesh Big Boy Pouch Brief at the WildmanT site for $25

Review Supawear Fruitopia Brief

December 21, 2015 No Comments

I LOVE watermelon in the summertime since I was a kid. I would always get it and eat till I couldn’t eat any more. I also, love underwear! So what could be better? Watermelon Underwear! Some of you out there may think it maybe crazy to create underwear based on fruit. I think it’s pretty fun and awesome. Underwear is about fun and expressing yourself! SupaWear furnished a pair of Fruitopia for this review!

The Fruitopia pair I was super excited to review. I thought I requested a jock but got a brief instead. I’m not complaining though! The brief is a lot of fun. The first thing that you notice is it definitely looks like watermelon. The Green waistband is the peel, which I love. It makes it so much fun. The other thing is on the brief, the back has seeds printed on the back. It’s just an added touch that is super nice

When I put the pair on the first thing I noticed was it was a little tight. Being the holidays I added a little weight on. Their sizing chart says it’s 36-37. I will say I’m bigger than that and it didn’t fit too tight. After I had them on I didn’t notice the tight fit. It was mainly in the waistband.

As for daily wear it fit pretty well. I wore this pair on a really busy and stressful day. I was on the go for a few hours. It really held up well. It was a little more of a manual labor day than I had expected. The tight fit was perfect for the day, it gave me extra support when I needed it.

The design. As I mentioned above is awesome. Its playful and fun. SupaWear and 2EROS isn’t afraid of trying something new. They have a really great design aesthetic in everything they design. Lines such as AKTIV and X-Series brings out the fashion of the brand. The Fruitopia just brings out the fun. I want more pairs in the series! They would be great to wear during the summer time! (Which it is summer in Australia)

Pros:

I love the fun whimsical design
Great pouch in the pair
Waistband is awesome

Cons:

Some may not like the literal interpretation of the pair
Color may turn some off

Review BodyAware Invisible Pleasure Brief

December 5, 2015 No Comments

I love the chance to try new things when it comes to underwear and this pair was unlike any of the briefs I own. Taking them out of the package, the first thing I noticed was that they are VERY light and thin. The color (Mint) was great, as well. After my first (and positive) experience with BA last week, I was ready for round two. BodyAware furnished this pair for review.

I wore these under my jeans to work and they disappeared the moment I put them on! The material (90% polyamide, 10% elastane) weighed almost nothing. The fact that there are very thin seams around the waist and legs made them, as the name would suggest, invisible. I happen to think brieflines are sexy but if you want a pair that won’t show under your clothes, these are definitely for you. I thought the cut was a bit “granny” and would have preferred a smaller, sexier bikini cut. I’m deficient in the butt department so someone a bit bigger might fill these out better. They were comfortable, stayed in place all day and I really forgot I was wearing anything at all. They would’t be my pick for a really active day. Because of the paper-thin fabric not being as supportive as a cotton blend or spandex/lycra type material. Great for lounging around the house or wearing to bed.

Sizing seems right but since the cut is a bit large, you should definitely size down if you on the lower end of the scale. These were a medium (31-33) and I could have probably fit into a small being a 31-32.

Great color selection is something I love about BodyAware. Everything from white to navy to orange and purple – there’s something for everyone!

I liked this pair well enough and will wear them again. Sspecially when it’s hot out and I don’t want a thick layer of cotton under my clothes. The style is a bit feminine, but that’s a lot of BA’s underwear so if it isn’t your thing. You probably wouldn’t be trying these anyway. They retail for $18.80 on the BodyAware website.

PROS

– soft, lightweight fabric

– lots of color choices

– comfortable for everyday wear

CONS

– cut is a bit frumpy, in my opinion

– not super supportive for an active day

RATINGS

Daily Fit – 9

Review BodyAware Greek God

December 2, 2015 No Comments

My first pair of BodyAware underwear (furnished by BodyAware). I wore the Greek God Brief. I am a fan of sexy underwear, especially bikini briefs, but had never tried a style quite so feminine. BodyAware has plenty of undies that are basically lingerie for men. For guys who like feminine underwear, BA is great because you get that styling but the cut is meant for a man. So the fit is much better. These definitely piqued my interest and I could’t wait to give them a shot!

The stretch satin material is what you would expect – very shiny and super smooth. The bikini cut was just right, although I generally prefer a bit studier waistband to prevent rolling. The front has just the right amount of extra room for comfort while maintaining a smooth look and supportive feel.

I wore these to work and felt like I had a fun, little secret all day. Maybe the way a guy feels wearing his wife’s underwear? The fabric felt great against my skin. They’re so light you forget you’re wearing anything at all….expect for the seam up the back that gives more butt definition. It could feel a bit thong-like but once you accepted that this is where this pair is going to stay, it was fine. These briefs stayed in place and worked as well as any other bikinis I own – but with a twist.

These were a medium (31-33) and they fit true to size. Given that these are a small cut, I would stick to your typical size. They stretch quite a bit but I think the elastic around the legs and waist would dig in and be uncomfortable if you were in a size too small.

Color selection is not a problem and I appreciate that they have less common choices : black, chocolate, periwinkle, turquoise, honeyed biscuit (almost nude), aqua and jade. Red shows up in the photos but isn’t an option on their site. Maybe it was the first to sell out?

Overall, the Greek God brief was definitely a pair I will wear over and over and might just make me try some more lingerie type underwear again. They were definitely sexier than I anticipated.

PROS

– soft, silky material

– lots of color choices

– comfortable throughout the day while still being a sexy pair

CONS

– lingerie style is definitely not for everyone

– seam up the back might annoy some guys

– waistband could be a bit studier to help them stay in place

Review N2N Liquid Silver

November 16, 2015 No Comments

Beau Briefs recommendation: You’re gonna want to have this one. This pair furnished By N2N Bodywear for review

Rating: 9/10

Daily Fit: 8.5/10

Sizing: 9/10

Construction: 9/10

Styling: 9.5/10

Daily Performance: …less used for daily more used for momentarily.

Pros: Sexy as hell, accentuates certain areas, pretty comfortable for a time, did I mention sexy?

Cons: Not sure on full day use for fabric, you better be ready to have that bulge bulging…

Okay, I had been wanting to try the N2N Liquid line ever since I first say a photo of it. And I was not disappointed. The label itself will identify as an erotic pair. The moment that it is on it is not hard to see why…even if not hard…get it? 😉

The Liquid Silver pair will easily slide up your legs and hug your hips, in the best possible way. Even just putting the pair on itself is a fairly sensual experience. Seeing the snug fit of the crotch and silver licking of the cheeks. It would be very difficult (avoided using the word hard again) to not feel much sexier just after slipping into it.

Now, as I mentioned, I do not know if this pair would be the best all day pair. Because the lining and the outside fabrics act very differently. The inside lining is comfortable and smooth. The outside is meant to have that shiny, sultry look and can be a bit stiff with how it interacts with the lining and movement. However, the two both do their jobs exactly as they are supposed to. The outside fabric without the inner would be super uncomfortable. The inside without the outside would just be a very basic black brief. Together…wow.

The visual of the pair when being worn is 100% what N2N was going for. I don’t care if you’re a shower. if you’re a grower, or if there just isn’t much up front, this pair will make everything WOW worthy.

The fit is great, it’ll hug you because that’s exactly what it should do. When it comes to a pair like this you don’t want it to be loose or baggy in anyway. If you’ve got a bit of a booty it might reign it in a bit but the look of lining caressing your cheek is well worth a bit of flattening.

Well, after trying this pair on and writing this review I am just a bit hot and bothered. In other words, the N2N Liquid Silver is a fully effective, sexy as HELL, line of undies and a must have.

Review Edge Apparel Briefs

November 13, 2015 No Comments

After interviewing Adam Russell the designer and founder of Edge Apparel I could not wait to try out one of the pairs of underwear. Edge Apparel supplied us with some underwear to review. I selected, as I always try to, a classic brief to start off. Since I’m a big fan of briefs I like to get my first look at a new brand with their briefs. I went for the darker, grey and red option.

The fabric blend of 7% spandex and 93% cotton was very comfortable. It was supportive and soft while still having just the edge of flexibility. It was very smooth to the touch which is always a bonus for the bum and it felt good all throughout the day.

The waist band is a great fit, it both stretches and holds, the ideal balance. It is a very cute, generally solid color band with the trendy logo on the front. The piping on the legs is just as balanced, stretchy, and comfortable and holds up well.

There is no “pouch” or anything in the crotch area. Personally, I’m not a fan of most pouches so I found this excellent. It much reminds me of the bulge area of Calvin Kleins, in a way, roomy, supportive but not overly defined.

When I went to the gym I didn’t have another pair to change into, as I often do, so I did my cardio day in the briefs. They felt fine, held up to the run, climb, and all. As mentioned in the cons section, I did have to tug the back out of my butt a time or two but nothing serious.

Overall I greatly enjoyed this pair of underwear. I am excited to try the other pairs out and give the boxer brief cut a go as well.

Rating: 9/10

Daily Fit: 9/10

Sizing: 9/10

Construction: 8/10

Styling: 8.5/10

Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Cute, very comfortable fabric blend, supportive, and durable.

Cons: If running it may ride up your butt, however, that could have just been my butt…

Beau Briefs recommendation: An awesome new start for a brand, very solid product!

Review BodyAware Backless Thrasher Brief

November 10, 2015 No Comments

BodyAware furnished us with a few hot things to review. The Backless Thrasher Brief is one I specifically requested. One of the previous pairs I have from them is the Well Endowed brief and I loved it. This seems to be a similar cut and I had to try it. So, when I opened the package and there it was I got really excited!

When I opened the package and saw the brief I was a little worried about the size. It didn’t seem like it would fit me very well. I mean the pouch is small in the front. I slid it on and the fabric stretched and became very form fitting. The brief is made out of the most amazing fabric. The fabric is 85% nylon/ 15% spandex. The brief is a VERY brief cut. For many out there this is a selling feature of the pair. The back is more of a jock brief than a brief.

I wore this to the UNB Holiday shoot. I knew it would go through it’s paces. You may think a shoot is easy work but it’s on the go the entire time. It really amazed me how well the brief did during the day. After my initial “This isn’t going to fit.” I swear the pair molded to my body and just felt amazing. The entire day it felt like I wasn’t wearing anything. This has to be one of the favorite pairs of this year that I have reviewed.

One feature that I have to talk about is the “unique up-front pouch design.” BodyAware is known for their great pouches. They give you great support and fit the way it should fit! This pouch reminded me of an ergonomically designed pouch. It didn’t give you too much of a bulge and could be worn to work without being too bulgy. They did an amazing job on the pouch!

The fabric while it felt amazing. I didn’t notice it till the end of the day that it’s mildly see through. I received the black pair and until I went to take it off I didn’t notice how see through it was. If you see the picture here you can see the transparency. It’s not bad but could be another selling point for some of our readers.

The sizing of BodyAware is pretty awesome. This pair I feel even if you bought the smaller size it would stretch and feel great. Sizing on the site runs anywhere from small to XXL. They make underwear for guys of all sizes. We all should be sexy regardless of the size!

Pros:

Amazing Pouch
Incredible Fabric
Fit that molds to your body

Cons:

Some guys may not like the skimpy design
Some guys may not like the semi transparent fabric.

I don’t normally give things 10’s but this has to be one of my favorite pairs I have reviewed in a long time. It hit all the right notes for me. It didn’t want to take it off the fabric felt great and the fit was amazing. If you haven’t tried BodyAware I recommend it. This pair is AWESOME!

Review Andrew Christian Black Briefs

November 9, 2015 No Comments

Andrew Christian furnished a few of the new Black line to review. The new line is one of their newest collections. It is “Our BLACK Collection features a no frills, all sexy brief you can enjoy anywhere from work to the gym and on to your hottest date.” This is the answer to those who wanted a more classic design from Andrew Christian.

I really liked the look of the new Black brief. It’s very classic but not too classic. That may sound odd, but it’s a great classic design with new fabrics. The fabric of the pair is one of my favorite things about the line. It’s a 93% Rayon Made From Bamboo, 7% Spandex. Which may seem a little odd but it fits really well. The rayon is super soft and mix in the spandex for some great support.

The day I wore this was over a work day. As I have said before the new job is a bit more active. So I have to do a lot more than my desk job. Picking a pair of great underwear is even more important. The pouch gave really great support and it fit very well. The classic design had a full back which stayed in place. It moved with me and did an amazing job. This definitely could be a work pair or gym or date night. It’s pretty versatile pair of underwear.

Colors are more classic as well. Some of the previous collections have been a lot of neons and other bright colors. This has red, black and blue. The waistband is a black band with yellow trim and the Black name in the band. Its not classic but not over the top either. I think it’s a nice touch to the pair.

Sizing for Andrew Christian is pretty standard. I can’t remember when I had an issue with a pair being too small. I have found that the XL can fit larger than suggested. Trust me I know this for fact. Their size chart isn’t that crazy either. Its been pretty standard for the last few years.

Pros:

Loved the classic design
Super soft fabric
Classic colors

Cons:

Some guys may not like so few colors
Other guys may not like the waistband

Review Kiniki Peek-a-Boo Brief

Review Kiniki Peek-A-Boo Brief

Kiniki is becoming one of my new favorite brands. The last reviews we did were a lot of fun and they asked us to review some of the new Allure line. Kikini furnished us with this pair and many others to review. The Allure line is super sexy and fun. It has a lot of mesh, sexy designs and skimpy cuts. Mix all that together and you have a really awesome collection. The pair I will be reviewing for this review is the Peek-A-Boo Brief.

The Peek-A-Boo brief is a mix of mesh and solids. The mesh panels are in the pouch and back. This means you will show off all your goods. The black fabric and mesh are super sexy to me. The cut outs with the mesh are made to be shown off. Unfortunately for my review I was the only one who saw the pair on me! This is a total date night pair. Your other half will definitely enjoy the reveal after the date!

The pair has a classic brief cut. Meaning it’s not cut too high or too low. The waistband is the Kikini signature band in metallic silver. The contrast to the black to me is a great touch. I think if they had had a black band it would have gotten lost. The silver just pops and adds something to the pair. The mesh panels make for sexy cut outs.

I wore this pair to a new part time job I have that is a bit more active. I wanted to see how well it would do under an active situation. The fit on these were great. They moved through the day and didn’t bunch or bind. The only issue I had was with the pouch. The seam down the front was a little annoying at times through out the day. I had to adjust so I didn’t rub against it. The back seams didn’t have the same issue.

The sizing in Kikini is pretty spot on. The XL I received fit me well. It was a bit tight but not binding tight. The other pairs I had fit a little looser. However, this didn’t detract from the pair at all. I would say double check the size charts from Kiniki.

Pros:

Super sexy design
Silver waistband pops
Good sizing

Cons:

Front pouch can be abrasive
Some my not like the cut outs

Ratings:

Daily fit – 7
Sizing – 9
Construction – 9
Styling – 9
Daily Performance – 7
Overall – 8.2

Find the Peek-A-Boo Brief on the Kikini site for £18.90. Will I wear this pair again? Yes I definitely will. The seam was only a minor issue to me.

Review Candyman Modern Varsity Brief

October 28, 2015 No Comments

CandyMan has always been a company that had intrigued me. They are never shy about pushing the limits when it comes to new cuts, styles and fabrics. Some people might say that can take it a bit too far sometimes. If you are one of those skeptics, don’t count this brand out so quickly.

I had the opportunity to review the Modern Varsity Brief in blue size medium. This pair was furnished by Macondo Trading. I have to say I was happy this pair got sent my way. This is not your typical brief, but if you are looking for a pair of undies that are sexy yet comfortable. These are worth the look. From the clean cut waistband to the contrasting florescent piping around the legs to the little cut outs on either side of the pouch. CandyMan cut no corners when it comes to details with these briefs.

These briefs are made from 96% Nylon and 4% elastane Sheer stretch mesh which is completely see through. It has a great wide elastic logo waistband that has a metallic silver look to it. I love a good pair of mesh undies. I think they are something sexy for sure. What I like about these is they are comfortable to wear as well as sexy. These will not leave anything up to the imagination. The front pouch is very roomy and keeps everything in place like a good brief should do. The cut-outs on either side of the pouch add for a little extra stretch in the front as well if you need it. The fabric is light and airy and almost feels like you are going commando under whatever you are wear over top.

The one down fall with these briefs that I could find is that like most sheer fabrics. These are undies that should be cared for. I have had similar fabrics get caught in zippers of paints while in the washer and rip a hold in fabric. So just be cautious when washin’. I would also not recommend wearing these all day. I did and they performed better than a lot of my other mesh undies; however I didn’t feel like they moved as well with me like some of my other undies do. BUT if you are looking for a sexy pair of undies that will add that little extra element of sexy to your night out, these are the undies for you! Sexy and functional for a great price!

PROS:

· Great fit and true to size

· Great color and contrasting piping along with detailing add to the sexiness

· Comfortable waistband

CONS:

· Sheer mesh doesn’t seem the strongest of fabrics

RATEINGS:

· Daily Fit – 8

· Sizing – 10

· Construction/Materials – 10

· Styling – 10

· Daily Performance – 8

· OVERALL – 9.2

This pair was furnished for review by Macondo Trading. These come in the blue only and can be found at CandyMan Fashion for $18.48.

Review Clever Morelo Latin Brief

October 19, 2015 No Comments

I have to say that I am really pleased with what Clever has been doing with their new collection. I know I have been out of the review cycle for a little while. It is nice to see a company that can take a solid color and make it fun and sexy. That is exactly what they did with the Morelo Latin Brief.

I had the opportunity to review the Clever Morelo Latin Brief in coral. It is in a size Medium and for being a brief, I thought this was a good choice. I pretty much will wear anything when it comes to styles of underwear, but the brief is not always at the top of my list. So I was a little apprehensive when I first saw these. The color is great. I think coral is my new favorite color when it comes to undies. But was not sure exactly how these would fit. I usually wear a size Medium across the board. When I first took these out, but mind went directly to the, these look a little small. I better spend an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill if I want to fit into these. But once I put them on, I was really surprised.

The fabric is a 48% polyester 48% Nylon and 4% spandex mix. So they are super stretchy and it’s like these undies just conformed to my body style. The bright coral color with the blue stitching and piping along the hips was fun and sexy. With the way these fit, they took my butt and gave it a nice shape to the point where even I was like “DAMN”. The front pouch is a little tight as well and that would be the only reason why I wouldn’t recommend these for an “all day” or gym pair of undies. but if you are going out for the night and want to wear something that adds that little extra bit of sexy under a pair of jeans or shorts, these are totally a pair worth looking into. The waistband is black with a contrasting Clever logo. The waistband is very soft and comfortable.

PROS:

Fun Coloring in both Blue and Coral
Excellent support in front and back
Great fabric that moves with you

CONS:

They are tight fitting so would suggest order up a size

RATEINGS:

Daily Fit – 7
Sizing – 8
