Joe Snyder sent me the Joe Snyder Maxi Bulge Thong in Royal Blue for review.

Rating: 9.0/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 8/10

Pros:

  • Quick drying Royal Blue fabric
  • Roomy pouch accentuates your package
  • Small Joe Snyder branded tag on the front strap

Cons:

  • Bring back pink!
  • Large care tag

UNB Ryan’s recommendation:The Joe Snyder Maxi Bulge Thong is a welcome addition to their Maxi Bulge collection, which already includes bikini, clip, capri, kini, and cheek boxer styles.  I love that they have introduced a couple pieces of new technology to this suit-this suit features their maxi bulge enhancer as well as a scrunched rear (more on those it a bit).  Anyone who has complained about smaller pouches in the past can rest easy, as this new pouch from Joe Snyder should accommodate almost anyone-if it won’t contain all of you we want to see. #picsoritdidnthappen

I always get excited to see a message from Joe Snyder saying that there is something new coming or a sale in the future. Knowing that they are sending me one ant want my opinion is even more exciting!  Today I am reviewing the Joe Snyder Maxi Bulge Thong in Royal Blue.  I am quickly becoming a huge fan of the brand, and if you were to take a peek ay my underwear collection you’d see that they take up a sizeable amount of space in my top drawer.  My only concern with reviewing this pair was that I wouldn’t be able to fill out the pouch.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that this pouch is very accommodating, whether you are on the smaller side (like me), or if you have a very large package, this thong will make you feel much larger than normal.  I have seen a couple of guys on Instagram wearing these that are considerably larger than I am that look great in them!

As of this review, I have worn this suit on two separate occasions-once to a hotel pool and once around the house as my weekend loungewear.  I have been very pleased with the performance of this thong in both scenarios.  This pouch holds your package in a forward position-the Maxi-Bulge enhancement features a built in strap that surrounds and lifts your package and keeps everything in a semi-erect position and helps to fill out the pouch properly.  Anyone who has any self confidence issues owes it to themselves to try this, or one of Joe Snyder’s other suits featuring this technology because it will definitely give you a visible boost in the size department!

The styling of this suit is slightly different than Joe Snyder’s other thong styles in that the pouch is cut a bit higher and wider than the Bulge Tanga, and the rear coverage isn’t quite as skimpy either. There has been a scrunched rear added which nicely accentuates your cheeks, but is also a little larger than the normal Joe Snyder Bulge Tanga cut that I typically wear for tanning.  The side straps connect in the back into a true thong style rear rather than a “T” strap, which I love!  This would be a great suit to wear early on in the year to get your tan lines started, and then switch to something with a little less coverage to show off those tan lines (and cheeks) you have worked so hard for!  Joe Snyder has maintained many of the colors we are familiar with for this suit.  There are a few colors absent on this suit in particular such as the pink and purple that won’t be available in this cut (at least for now) and we can only hope to see them reappear in the future!

Most of the Joe Snyder suits I’ve worn are sized very similarly, and in accordance with industry standards.  The newer lines seem to be slightly smaller, nothing that would require us to size up, but fit a little more snugly than the earlier suits. I always wear a small in Joe Snyder, and didn’t feel out of sorts when pulling these on.  Obviously the pouch on the Maxi Bulge line is larger than normal, to account for a larger package, whether that be from the sheer excitement that this suit creates or the natural larger size of some guys!

To wrap things up, order one of these suits, wrap up your package in it, and get out with your friends and show off!  This suit is very well made, feels great, and will turn heads anywhere between the beach house and beach chair.  As always, my only complaint (if you can call it one) is the large care tag on all of Joe Snyder’s apparel.  Not a show stopper, as we can always cut the tag off with a pair of scissors, or have a friend do it for you once you get to the beach or pool party!  I can’t wait to see what Joe Snyder has in store for the future!  Like usual, let us know in the comments what you think about this suit, or if you like you can drop me a private line on Instagram or Twitter @unb_ryan

Rating: 9.4/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 10/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros:

  • Unusual yellow camouflage pattern
  • Pouch enhances your profile
  • Backside stayed put; no wedgies

Cons:

  • Fabric doesn’t breathe as well as other fabrics
  • Difficult to find

Osgon’s Recommendation: Buy!

During a recent trip to Skivvies in Dallas, Jockmail’s low rise “No Fly Brief” caught my eye hanging on a wall display. I’m always on the lookout for unusual patterns and unfamiliar brands. I loved this brief’s bright yellow camo pattern, and the Jockmail brand was completely unknown to me. $29+tax later, I was on my way home with something new to test for UNB’s readership.


My test for this pair involved a day of grocery shopping and puttering around the house. This brief proved to be exceptional.

The pouch provided ample, comfortable support, although it isn’t as generous (and the fabric isn’t quite as stretchy) as that found in an N2N Bodywear bikini. Nonetheless, I never felt too constricted or needed to readjust things upfront.

The brief provided perfect, all-over backside coverage. The black leg bands stayed in place without ever being too tight or too loose. Any time I needed to squat down, the fabric stretched appropriately without creeping up the back. In short, this brief’s fit fell within the “Goldlocks zone” of comfort.

The 1.75” black elastic waistband didn’t roll and stayed well below the bellybutton. One unique design feature is the pair’s tag: it’s sewn into the waistband along the right hip. The tag never felt scratchy or uncomfortable to me, but this location might be a turnoff to some.

This brief’s camouflage fabric is composed of 80% polyester and 20% spandex. This blend doesn’t “breathe” as well as a cotton-based fabric, and this brief might not provide comfortable long-term wear if you’re going to be out in extreme temperatures. Otherwise, it is extremely comfortable and supportive.

The brief sadly no longer available from Jockmail’s website (www.jockmail.co), but you might be able to find it in your local brick-and-mortar establishment. You can also contact our friends at Skivvies (www.skivviesdallas.com or 214-559-4955) and order a pair. (For items not available on Skivvies’ website, they will accept and process special requests over the phone.)

The brief comes in five colors: yellow (purchased), red, blue, green, & grey. Sizing includes medium (30” – 32”), large (32” – 34”), and extra-large (34” – 36”). Sizing proved accurate.

I was thrilled with this brief’s performance. I look forward to buying more underwear from Jockmail in the future!

This pair was furnished for review by Bum Chums. All opinions are that of the reviewer.

Ratings

  • Daily Fit – 7
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Materials – 7
  • Styling – 8
  • Daily Performance – 7
  • Overall – 7.8

PROS

  • unique design
  • nice pouch and bright colors available

CONS

  • seam in the back
  • mesh in front bunches up

 

Another round of Bum-Chums and I was curious to see how these felt since they were different than just about any other pair of briefs I own.  The bright orange color (Sol) stood out immediately, as did the mesh on the sides and back.  I’m always up for trying something new when it comes to undies and decided to go for it and wear these to work for the day.

The fabric of the pouch is 95% cotton and 5% Elastane so they were soft with a bit of stretch.  The mesh is 95% Polyamide and 5% Elastane.  The back is totally see-through so modesty is not what these are made for!  An interesting design feature – the mesh goes all the way around, even over the top of the pouch, creating a bit of a flap.  I’m guessing that’s supposed to be the “tool belt” design of these briefs.

Sizing seemed on par with other brands.  I’m a 32 at the moment and the medium was a good fit.

I love wearing a new, sexy pair of underwear and these accomplish that.  Mesh is fun and I like the orange pouch, which was nice and comfortable, with enough room for everything up front.  Where I ran into some trouble was the back.  Where the orange fabric comes up and meets the mesh, there is a rather large seam that is very noticeable.  I think maybe the two materials coming together creates a bit of an unsteady seam that is almost wavy if that makes sense.  The point is, about a third up the way up your butt, you can feel the stitching and the seam does not lay flat.  Not the end of the world but the feeling doesn’t get less noticeable – even after an 8 hour day!  I think it took away from the look, as well.  I would have preferred the entire back panel to be mesh and connect down between your legs.  Another issue that didn’t affect comfort, but style, is the mesh going across the front. It didn’t do much except bunch up a bit.

Overall, an interesting pair and I love that brands try new things.  Maybe some seam adjustments would help but I wouldn’t say these are in the everyday rotation – more for fun and showing off.

These undies were furnished by Debriefed and the opinions are that of the reviewer.

Another new brand for me: Debriefed!  After visiting their site, I see they sell other brands as well as their own and their overall theme is inclusion.  Their long-term goal is to expand the brands they carry to offer a selection of great, affordable undies.  I loved the look and feel of these as soon as I opened the package so we were off to a good start.

The first thing you notice with the Debriefed Botanicals, aside from the fun, floral print, is that they are soft.  Really soft! (95% modal and 5% spandex)  They have a contrast gray waistband, leg and pouch trim which was also covered in the same, soft fabric rather than bare elastic, which I appreciate.

I tried a medium, which says it covers a 33-36” waist.  I’m a 32 and they fit just right – not even a little too big, so you might want to size up.  These have a nice pouch and plenty of stretch but they are not cut on the big side.

I decided to break these in on a Saturday running errand, then hanging out at home followed by dinner out.  They felt great as I pulled them on and got things adjusted.  The rear, however, definitely rides up.  A lot.  The trim around the legs is very light and thin, which makes them comfortable, but it doesn’t hold them in place and almost immediate, up they went.  I don’t have much of a butt and the bottom 1/3 of each cheek was showing.  That can actually be kind of sexy in my opinion, but it’s not for everyone.  If you have a lot going on in the back, you’d practically be wearing a thong after bending down once or twice.  This was really the only issue I would foresee someone having with this pair.  I actually have some other briefs with a very similar cut and the same thing happens with them, as well.

I’ll be wearing these again and will try other styles from Debriefed.  I like what they’re about and the prices are pretty fair – except for shipping, but that’s what happens when your undies come from halfway across the world.  They even throw in a gift after you spend a certain amount.

I had never heard of Mr. Smith’s before I received this pair, so I was definitely excited to try something new!  From their site, Mr. Smith’s seems to be a “good basic” type of brand with a down to earth vibe.  They say their underwear are for everyday wear, from work to the gym. They design and even make the undies in the UK, which I respect since most brands outsource labor to save money.  On to the underwear…

Trunks and boxer briefs aren’t my go-to style because they ride up my legs and I run warm so less fabric is usually better for me.  When I first put these on, I definitely needed to stretch out the elastic around the thighs because they were TIGHT!  A few quick pulls and that was a remedied. These are a nice cotton with some stretch and a good pouch.  Nothing overly sexy or fancy here, but definitely not a cheap, run of the mill trunk with no shape.  Only trunks and briefs are offered and in very limited colors, so I wouldn’t say these are for those who love bright, outrageous undies.

This pair was a medium and I’d say they fit appropriately – maybe a little snug, but not enough to size up.

I wore these to work and then on some errands afterward and they held up well.  The legs, of course, rode up as all BB & trunks do on me, but it was manageable. The pouch was great, and they were comfortable all day.  I do wish they had more colors/fabrics and that there was just a bit more attention to detail.  Little things: the waistband repeats Mr. Smith’s all around but there is also a Mr. Smith’s tag on the front center of the waistband.  It isn’t measured out evenly so they overlap and it just doesn’t look as finished as it could. That might just be a little bit of my OCD.  I would definitely try a pair of briefs from Mr. Smith’s.  The trunks were nice, not very exciting, but good.  At $24, they aren’t the cheapest, and may be priced a bit high for a basic trunk. Overall, I was happy to discover a new brand and add another pair to my rotation.

Tigerheat furnished this pair at a discount for our review. But all opinions are my own on the pair.

Rating: 8/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 7/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Super sexy design, fun orange color, really fun to wear

Cons: Onesize fits all for all people, Just in orange you may want another color, thong background (if you don’t like them)

UNB Tim recommendation: If you’re looking for a super fun bodysuit this is it. This pair is made for fun and is super playful. If you’re tall you may have an issue but everyone should buy fun gear! 


It’s no secret that I love singlets and bodysuits. I have loved them since I was in my teens. I didn’t get my first singlet till I was about 18 or 19. After that, I had to have more and more. Currently, in my collection, I have about 25-30 singlets. I haven’t really counted lately. After covering the Tigerheat Bodysuit I got a chance to get one and review it for you guys.

The first thing I noticed was the fabric. It’s not as thick as I thought it would be, but that’s not a bad thing. It’s a cotton fabric with spandex that feels great. If you did wear it to work out in it, I think it would be a great fabric. The next thing I noticed was being 6’4″ not all singlets are made for us tall guys. It took me a few mins to adjust and get it on. The high cut sides and thong back were something I had to get used too. The normal singlet I have has somewhat of a leg or a brief cut at the bottom.

I didn’t wear this pair to work or anywhere. Or for that matter for anyone, I just wore it to relax around the house one Saturday. I could see this pair used in more “playful activities” very easily. It’s super sexy in the design. Some of the gear I have is designed for working out and sport, while others like this is designed simply for fun. That fun can be in and out of bed!

The sizing for this pair is easy, one size fits all! Again if you’re tall like me it will be a bit of a stretch to get in. That’s the downside of the one size fits all! I’m also hoping that once I work out more and get in better shape it will fit me much better as well. Fingers crossed on that one!

If you love sexy bodysuits, check out this pair! I don’t think you will be disappointed. To order, DM them on Instagram

4-Hunks furnished the Bomber Jock for review. All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by 4-Hunks.

Rating: 9/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros:

  • Mix of fetish and sports gear
  • Has an innovative pouch with no center seam
  • Sports mesh material keeps you cooler

Cons:

  • The mesh material can rub you the wrong way
  • May not be a jock for the gym

UNB Tim recommendation: I love the designs of 4 Hunks. I personally love fetishwear and athletic gear. They mix the both of these things in one. This jock is a perfect mix of both. It’s sexy and fun. It can be worn more than just in the fetish world. If you want a fun jock you need to check it out!

I was looking forward to this jock for a while. I love the design of this jock. It’s a mix of athletic and fetish in one. Well, that’s my take! The mesh front makes it perfect for working out and the back design definitely has a fetish inspiration to me. After reviewing the Load Brief, I was curious about this pair.

One thing I wasn’t sure in the picture was the material of the pouch. I wasn’t sure it was all mesh or the center panel was mesh. Well, I can say it’s all mesh but the side panels have more material. The center has no pouch. Those who hate center seams on pouches rejoice, this one was purposefully made without one.

I wore this to work when I knew there would be a lot of physical activity. I wanted to sorta put it through its paces. The pouch occasional rubbed me the wrong way. But, that’s this material and how it reacts to me at times. It just takes a little adjustment and it’s back to feeling good. I’m not sure I would wear this to work out. It would def draw looks in the locker room!

The fabric for this pair was very similar to the Load Brief. It was well made and actually kept me cool all day. Fabric composition of the pair isn’t listed on the site, well that I could find. The front is a sports mesh type material. The pouch has a full frontal bulge pouch. This pouch will give you ample support throughout the day.

The sizing is something you need to look at the sizing charts. This pair fits me pretty well. I had no complaints. It’s always important to look at the sizing chart. 4 Hunks has one that doesn’t go to full sizes. It’s VERY important to check it out. The XL I got fit pretty well.

I really loved this pair. The mix of athletic and fetish makes it super sexy. You can pair this with one of their harnesses and go full on fetish. Or you can rock it under a pair of jeans or even a suit. It’s up to you to wear to the gym! If you’re a guy who doesn’t want to draw attention to yourself, don’t wear it. If you don’t mind the attention, well then rock on!

PAIR: 4 Hunks Bomber Jock
COLORS: White with Red elastic
FABRIC: TBA

I purchased a Petit –Q Lace Thong Ornex Green for review

Rating: 7/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 6/10
  • Sizing: 6/10
  • Construction: 8/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 6/10

Pros:

  • The styling
  • The color
  • The lace fabric

Cons:

  • The pouch size is too small
  • The lack of a form-fitting pouch
  • The strap connecting front to back is way too long

UNB Ryan recommendation: I thoroughly enjoyed trying the new thong line by Petit-Q and will be back in the future to try out some of their new styles. I really like the way the color of the lace stands out against my skin tone and the fact it is visibly see through for quite the surprise under your pants. I also like the dual strap design which isn’t seen too often in male underwear.

I ordered a pair of Petit-Q’s Lace Thong Ornex in Neon Green Lace because I was intrigued by the style and fabric pairing. This pair has a dual strap design that forms a thong rear that sits high on your booty and connects to a full coverage front. This was the first pair of Petit-Q that I purchased. I’ve been a long time stalker of the brand and their unique styles, but have been hesitant to purchase, as I wasn’t familiar with the brand. As I haven’t tried anything by them before, I don’t have a benchmark to compare them to, so I’ll have to just share my thoughts on these alone for now. I looked forward to this pair arriving in the mail as soon as I clicked the order button on the Petit-Q website. As I am an avid thong wearer, this pair wasn’t out of my realm at all and I felt it would be right up my alley.

I honestly didn’t do a whole lot while wearing this pair. I have worn around the house as loungewear, and under my slacks to work a couple of times, otherwise, I haven’t done anything very active in them. Once you get them pulled up and situated this pair feels very sexy due to the cut and lace construction. The dual strap design adds to the excitement I felt before and after pulling them on. While wearing them the only complaints I had was the way the strap connecting the front to rear is about an inch too long, and the pouch is a bit undersized and not as stretchy as I am accustomed to.

Petit-Q has done an outstanding job both designing and constructing this suit. The craftsmanship is world class and they have lived up to the expectation of quality I expected from a company of their stature. I was unable to see any shortcomings with the way this pair was put together. The fabric they chose for this pair is a brilliant neon green lace that is sure to stand out on any skin tone, and looks great with the dual straps that wrap around to the thong rear which leaves little to the imagination. And this is one of their more modest suits!

I bought the Thong Lace Ornex Green in a size small. Compared to industry standards, it is in line with most other size small underwear in the waist sizing. However, you need to be aware that they are a much higher cut than most men’s thongs, and will peek above your pants if you’re not careful. Also, the pouch is not very roomy (and I’m a modest average size down there) and is also connected fairly high on the front side. Your package will be pulled flat against your body rather than pushed out front like it is in a bulge pouch design.

In my opinion, this is a very well constructed thong that feels most at home in the bedroom. I would not want to wear this to the gym or for a run around the block because it was clearly designed to be lounge or sexy time wear. That being said, if this thong fits your description of a new, sexy style from an innovative designer, you will love this pair. Give Petit-Q a try whether it is with this pair or another of their offerings and you will not be disappointed!

4-Hunks furnished the Load Brief for review.  All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by (brand).

Rating: 9/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros:

  • A great mix of fetish and regular pair.
  • Fits great and gives great support
  • Super fun design

Cons

  • Note if you have issues with some mesh it may rub you the wrong way
  • May not be a work pair if you have to show undies

UNB Tim recommendation: It’s a great mix of a traditional pair and fetish. You can wear to work under jeans or a suit. Then head out for a fun night at the bar or home with a harness. It’s a great pair that I really enjoyed and plan to wear a lo tmore


This is my first pair of 4 Hunks for a review. This won’t be my last either, I have a few different things to try out. I’m super excited because I love their style that is a mix of regular underwear and fetishwear! The brief I am reviewing is the Load Brief. This brief is a mesh brief. I have some issues with mesh briefs. Some of the fabrics feel like a cheese grater on my business. It’s not a design or brand but the mesh and me. I usually have to adjust and it’s fine.

Unfortunately, this happened with this pair. But it was something I expected and prepared for, so it wasn’t an issue and I didn’t take off for that in my overall review. I wore this pair to work on a regular day. I didn’t do anything too athletic or working out. I really liked the fit and feel of the pair. The mesh was stretchy and gave great coverage. It was even more so than I expected.

The look of the pair is super sexy. You can wear it just as is with jeans or a suit. I think it would be awesome under a suit. Pair this with their harness and it’s total fetish pair. The sports mesh harness would be ideal but any of their harnesses will make a great partner. I like pairs that can be fetish or regular underwear!

The sizing surprised me. I was expecting it to be smaller than it was. The size received was an XL. On the 4 Hunks size chart that fits 41-42 inch waist. They have an odd size chart but for the most part, it’s pretty standard. The medium is a 31.5-33.4 inches. Just double check the size chart before you buy!

GREGG HOMME REEF SWIM THONG

Rating: 8/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 8/10
  • Sizing: 7/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros:

  • Love the construction- Are there beaches in Canada I don’t know about? Because Gregg Homme just nails the construction of this swimsuit. Great lining on the pouch smooths and refines your man bumps, and the material is exceptionally durable. Will survive salt water and chlorine adventures for a long time!
  • Refined sexy styling- If Sherlock Hommes (pun intended) wore thongs, this would be his first choice. The black and grey version is sophisticatedly masculine, daring, and sexy. The GH tab with drawstrings bring together the sexy, refined look! If you want wilder colors, the orange and turquoise pair bring your vibrant and sexy appeal to a new level.
  • Back Strap- Simply yet sexy. Sometimes less is more, and this T Back strap is so comfortable. Just enough fabric to show class in thong terms, but not too little to feel like you are being split in half. Excellent comfort.

Cons:

  • Pouch size- Unfortunately this is what brings this suit down from perfection. The pouch itself with lining is at a specifically designed size; once you reach that size, your goods will be forced to comply or simply bust out. Larger guys-Be careful!
  • Color options- I feel like the contrasting design really could be taken advantage of with more color options say a blue, red, or even a green? It’s such a great design only to 3 colors.
  • Sizing- Runs smallish, I got myself a medium, and I am 33-34 waist, and it was a little tight, but if I got the large it might be too big!

UNB Shawn Recommendations

Gregg Homme is pricey, but you get what you pay for. This swim thong is no joke. It was constructed to last the harsh environments of the sun and water. This was my first swim thong because the styling and construction seemed like a good investment; it was. Just like their underwear, the swim thong will not disappoint with the reputation of quality Gregg Homme consistently delivers.

This thong as seen the beaches from west coast to east coast on me, and I would say I felt fairly regal for a thong wearer on the beach. I own the black and grey version, and it seems less attention drawing than the vibrant other colors. It fits my style. I wore my thong for ME, not gawkers. The straps narrow enough to move up and down your hips to manage those thong tans lines if that is your persuasion.

Fabric and construction are outstanding- truly top notch. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, the pouch size became a concern for me. I do have to squeeze in there. I love these thongs, but they are not made for larger sized guys, their design size for the pouch was simply smaller than I. For me, there is enough room for me to contort and adjust to fit the pouch evenly, but barely. When active or lying out, I am semi-regularly managing the pouch to ensure coverage.

Sizing runs a little small. I would say it is similar to the sizing of Gregg Homme underwear, but this thong design is petit. I am 6 foot 185, athletic, 34 waist, and medium seem about the best fit for me, but a little tight, large may be a little loose around the hips. Just my two cents.

Overall a great piece of clothing to buy, and an even better first swim thong. Go big or go home with Gregg Homme, you will not be disappointed.

I purchased a Narrow Push Out Thong from Beachndance in Metallic Mint Green for this review.

Rating: 9/10 (Average of the ratings below)

Daily Fit: 9/10

Sizing: 10/10

Construction: 9/10

Styling: 9/10

Daily Performance: 8/10

Pros:

• HUGE color palette

• Customizable designs

• Frequent special offers if you sign up for their email

Cons:

• The only negative experience I have had with Beachndance suits is that the brighter colors I have ordered tend to fade quickly and bleed onto other clothing when they are wet. It is not an issue unless you wear a light color cover up to/from the beach or pool.

UNB Ryan recommendation: Take advantage of weekly offerings at Beachndance’s website for closeout deals, 2 for $40 deals, and discontinued fabric styles. Whether you want to build up your collection of swimwear, plan to incorporate some of these styles into your underwear drawer, or need some new suits to spice up your stage routine, Beachndance has something for everyone!

I ordered a Narrow Push Out Pouch Men’s Thong suit in Metallic Mint Green for this review.  I have been ordering swimwear from Beachndance for the past few years and am very satisfied with my experience with the brand.  Beachndance offers a unique custom order experience with their suits and will work with you to design almost anything you can imagine.  The fabric selection is one of the largest I have encountered in a custom swim manufacturer.  My experience in wearing thong swimwear has prepared me well for wearing this suit out in public, so it was right up my alley as far as comfort levels go.  While ordering this suit I immediately began to think about where I would wear them, what I would do in them, and what type of tan lines they would leave!

As soon as I pulled them out I immediately fell in love with the fit and look of the fabric.  I have previously worn this suit around the house to do chores, wash our cars, and cut the grass. The way the sunlight shimmers off of this fabric is unreal and is an eye catcher.  The mint green color is a stark contrast against a deep summer tan and I can’t wait for it to warm back up so that I can wear them outside again!  This suit feels great against the skin, accentuates your figure, and has a simple design that will look great on all body types!

Beachndance has done an outstanding job in providing top notch construction on this and all of the suits I have ordered from them.  The only thing that I would say about the fabric used is that if you order a brightly colored suit (pinks and reds primarily) then they have the tendency to fade quickly and/or bleed onto other light colored fabrics.  Many times I will wear a pair of square cut or booty style shorts over my thong when walking from the car to the beach or pool, and a couple of the lighter colors have bled through once I got them wet.

The customization options offered on Beachndance’s website are endless.  All suits are offered with the choice of four different back styles (bikini, cheeky, shortie, and thong) and I obviously chose the thong!  The pouch styles offered include basic, push out, and missile, and are offered in two different widths-moderate or narrow.  The strap styles are also customizable from ½”-2” along with varying back and front widths and rises.  The pouch I chose was a Narrow push out and it holds your package in more of a downward than outwards position, which is nice, because it allows you to wear the suit in more locations than if it were more of a straight out pouch design!

I bought this suit in a small, as I do with almost all swimwear and to no surprise it fits me perfectly.  All of Beachndance’s suits fit very true to industry standards.  The pouch on the size small fits me snugly, and the fabric used is supple and stretchy enough to allow for stretch throughout the day (or night) while swimming and sunning.  I have only ordered one suit over the past several years that fit any differently (just a little tighter,) and I attribute it to the fabric being a little bit less stretchy than normal, so it’s not anything that would prevent me from ordering again in the future.

Give Beachndance a try for your swimwear this summer, and I am confident you won’t be disappointed.  Their suits have held up well for me, in both the ocean and pool environments with minimal elastic fade or fabric breakdown.  The customization options are almost endless, and they will work with you to come up with a suit that compliments you and your unique style.  Whether you want a sexy thong or bikini, or something in between, you will find something at Beachndance’s website!

Cocksox furnished the CX92 Long John for review. All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by (brand).

Rating: 9/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros:

  • Created with Great fabric
  • Amazing Cocksox pouch
  • Will keep you warm in style

Cons:

  • Currently has two colors
  • Adds bulk under clothes

UNB Tim recommendation: As long johns go these are now my favorite. They will keep you warm and give you amazing support throughout the day. My biggest pet peeve is that most traditional long johns don’t offer support and you must wear another pair of underwear, under them! These are the best of function and form.


If you were anywhere in the States with the exception of SoCal or Hawaii, it was cold as hell. In Atlanta, we went down to the teens (for those outside of the US that’s -9 degrees C). On top of that, the ice and snow came too. This was the perfect weather to give the CX92 Long Johns a try. Let me preface this review by saying I hate layers. As in dressing in layers. Halfway through the day most of the layers come off. On top of that, I don’t wear a t-shirt under my shirt to work because I get too hot!!! My rant is over.

As stated above I wore this on a really cold snow day at home. Which was a good move! I noticed how these under my jeans kept me warm. Normal long johns drive me nuts, you always have to wear underwear under them for support. Note the rant above. I decided to try these without anything. Cocksox built in their awesome pouch into these. Which I must say feels awesome. Cocksox knows how to make a pouch on bikinis and long johns.

If you are a long time fan of Cocksox you know their fabric is super soft and amazing. I was worried that this fabric wouldn’t be as warm as other fabrics but I was proven wrong. The construction of the pair is top notch. I have had very few issues with any pair of Cocksox I have ever had, and I have quite a few. The first pair I got in 2006 is finally wearing out. The pouch as I have already said is awesome.

These were a little tight on me. But I’m not sure if it was the extra fabric under my jeans or the extra holiday weight. Cocksox typically is spot on with sizing. I haven’t had many issues over the years. If you follow their sizing guide it’s pretty much true to what they say.

I’m glad Cocksox is making Long Johns. It’s about time we have some form in the function of this style. The pair kept me warm, had an amazing pouch and felt amazing. I could picture me wearing these all day in the winter. These are well made and super fun!

Sukrew furnished the Bubble Thong for review. All opinions in this review are that of the reviewer.

Rating: 8.8/10 (Average of the ratings below)

  • Daily Fit: 7/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 7/10
  • Daily Performance: 8/10

Pros:

  • New take on the SUKREW Pouch
  • Fun back

Cons:

  • Lack of a US distributor

UnderwearDude’s Recommendation: If you like thongs or are a fan of SUKREW you should check this out.


If you remember our Thong 101 series from last year(If you haven’t checked it out you really should, I’m very proud of what we did with it), you’d remember us remarking that some thongs might not really fit in just one category. The SUKREW Bubble Thong fits that bill. Structurally, it is similar to a g-string, except the waistband is wider and the strap is also not a string, though it does leave a similar effect. Another noticeable difference is that the waistband is connected to the back strap at a right angle rather than straight on most g-string like pairs, giving it a different, noticeably curved look most often seen in women’s thongs that I quite like. The color of the back strap matches the accents on the front, but only a small triangle at peeks out from behind continuing to give it a g-string/v-string-esque look even though it’s not. The waistband is a bit plain, with a mostly raised center, though it goes unnoticed except when looked at closely. It does seem kinda plain next to the rest of the pair to me.

The pouch is also different from the main SUKREW thong, and SUKREW states that the pouch of the Bubble Thong ” is more lifted and curved than our classic design, offering great support without restriction, and a rounded bulge that compliments the shape of the rear.” From wear experience, I would certainly say it does push you less down than the other style pouch but still feels like a SUKREW pouch. In my personal opinion, I find this less deep pouch better than the original and far prefer it.

If you like SUKREW’s normal thong or want something a little bit skimpier than that, the Bubble Thong is a great choice. It’s a nice balance between skimpiness and structure, with some twists to bring it some real charm and uniqueness. I wore this on my birthday on Sunday and was hoping to try it with a lot of things. Sadly, mother nature had other plans, and I spent most of my day inside. Still, I found it to be fine when scraping snow off of my car and spending a few hours getting up and sitting down at a card game tournament. The part where the back strap connects to the pouch becomes noticeable at times, though not uncomfortable, and this does not happen often. The pair was a size small, which is usually for me, and I had no issues in that regard.

Note that the version of the Bubble Thong that I tried was the Full, not the U, which does not have a pouch. Instead, the U leaves you..well.. exposed. I believe there will be a review of the U version of this pair coming up as well. Price wise, this pair is decent, though I do find it odd that the Bubble Thong is the same price as SUKREW’s normal thong for a good bit less material, though it is still a fine price. Having to pay shipping from Europe is also a downside, but I’d say if this pair interests you, it’s worth it.
