Underwear Review – COCKSOX CX15 Mesh Brief

November 14, 2016 1 Comment

COCKSOX furnished the CX15 Mesh Brief for review.

Rating: 9.4/10

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

Pros: Great fabric, cool mesh panels, anatomical pouch

Cons: No overwhelming cons.

SALVATORE Recommendation: This was my first pair of COCKSOX. I can’t believe I waited so long to add this brand to the collection. I am truly impressed. I wore the CX15 Mesh Brief around the house all day and decided to go ahead and give them a shot in the gym. The brief stayed in place and the mesh panels provided a very cool and breezy workout. This cuts down on sweat and odor while working out and allows for a more enjoyable experience.

Construction: The guys at COCKSOX do everything they can to provide the best of the best when it comes to how they put their underwear together. Not a single detail is left out as they sew and stitch some of the world’s finest men’s underwear. I usually see a diminished quality when brands work with mesh. This brief, however, is impeccable.

Fabric: The 95% Nylon and 5% Spandex blend is absolutely perfect. What’s not to love about its sleek appearance and soft touch? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! The blend is stretchy and form fitting giving you the lift you need with a natural feel. Soft to the touch and sturdy enough for a workout—sounds like a great combination to me.

Sizing: The sizing on this brief is true. I got what I ordered and will never second-guess the fit of anything I purchase from COCKSOX. Order exactly what their website has for measurements and you are sure to be pleased.

Pouch: The pouch is what makes or breaks a good pair of underwear in my opinion. I am no stranger to judging pouches by their appearance and almost always have a perfect eye. Honestly, COCKSOX appears to give an uncomfortable pointy look to the pouch that seems binding and uncomfortable. Don’t be fooled! The pouch is perfect for the anatomical lover. I enjoyed and it and can’t believe how well this pouch fits.

Daily Wear: I’d feel comfortable wearing this bikini cut brief to any function and under anything. The thin elastic leg bands and low-rise cut waist ensure no embarrassing lines. This is important if you’re like me and wear a few different outfits a day. Wear them to the gym, to work, out on the town, or even under board shorts. They are great for almost any occasion.

Review – Cocksox CX75 Mesh Sports Brief

November 13, 2016 No Comments

Cocksox furnished the CX75 Mesh Sports Brief for review.

Rating: 9/10

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

Pros: Not as big a pouch as the CX01, The mesh is sexy and not over the top, great starter pair for a guy to try mesh, tag info was printed in the pouch

Cons: Not the same pouch as CX01 (some of you love this pouch), Some may not like the basic colors.

UNB Tim recommendation: This is a great pair for daily wear. It can be worn to work as equally as well on a date. It won’t loose it’s shape. Some mesh pairs can be made to be worn for an hour or more, this one I wore well over 12 hours and it felt great from the start till the end of the day. It’s also a perfect pair for a guy wanting to dip his toe in the mesh underwear world.

I am continuing the reviews of some of the latest Cocksox. So far they have been pretty good pairs. One of the newest lines is the Mesh line. I got the honor to review the CX75 Mesh Sports brief in white. It was one I have been curious about trying for some time now. It looked super sexy and a lot of fun.

The first thing I noticed was that this isn’t the same pouch in the CX01 briefs. It’s a more subtle pouch, meaning you won’t put everything out there. This maybe a bonus for some of you guys out there. Also, another thing that caught my eye was the tag. There is no tag in the back, it’s printed on the pouch. I thought this was a great touch. I can’t tell you how many times I have gotten mesh briefs, to only cut the tag out of the back.

I wore this to a somewhat active day. As I said above the pouch wasn’t as bulgy. The mesh wasn’t as stretchy as I thought it was going to be. This isn’t a bad thing but I expected something lighter and stretchier. However, it still fit great, I was not let down at all. It was a pleasant surprise for me. The mesh brief held up well to my running some errands and working. It’s a sexy pair that is made for a date night but designed for everyday wear as well. And, isn’t that the point of underwear to feel amazing and sexy each day.

Another area that worried me at first was the waistband. Having the fabric not be as stretchy, I wondered if it would stay up. I have reviewed pairs similar where the waistband couldn’t take all day wear. My fears were put to rest at the end of the day. The pair remained in place all day.

Speaking of fabric, this pair is made out of a 95% Nylon 5% Spandex. I received the white pair. It’s also available in black and red. The white seems to be the one that shows off less on me. Depending on skin tone you may have one that shows less than other pairs.

Sizing was spot on. It’s rare that I have had a pair that felt too small. I received and XL and it fit me to a T. Their sizing has been pretty consistent over the years. If you check the size chart, you should be confident the pair you get will fit you well.

I really enjoyed the brief. It held up to all day wear. It made me feel great all day. It is definitely a date night pair. I just need someone to wear it for! If you’re a fan of Cocksox and mesh, this is the pair for you. Also, if you want to try mesh for the first time. This is a great starter pair.

Review – Sukrew Full Jockstrap

November 9, 2016 No Comments

The Sukrew Full Jockstrap was furnished by Sukrew for review.

Rating: 9.4/10

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

Pros: Great design, Ergonomic pouch design, designed to make you feel sexy

Cons: Not many may wear it to the gym, I had issues getting it on but its user error.

Recommendation: If you’re looking for a super sexy jock. Any jock from Sukrew is for you. The design is made to make you feel sexy. I’m not sure guys will be wearing this to the gym. It’s more of a date night or play night pair. I think fashion jocks are taking the jock to the next level.

Let’s face it jocks really aren’t designed for working out anymore. They are more fashion than function. This is a good thing because there is so much more that can be done with jocks. One company taking their own spin on the jock is Sukrew. I was looking forward to wearing the jock. I have tried a few pairs of Sukrew and the pouch is always amazing.

Before I delve into the review. Let me say for jocks with straps that attach to the pouch like these. I always have issues with. Is it design? Nope, it’s more user error. When I slid these on they felt a bit funky. I messed up the straps (see above) and the pouch felt funny. After a few seconds of adjustment, I got situated. The pouch that I knew from the other pairs became apparent. I really liked the fit and feel.

I wore these to my part time job that is a little more active than running UNB. The support they gave were great. My one annoyance is the waistband kept ridding up a little in the back. I think this was because I had to bend over a lot that day. The pouch feels great. Sukrew has their own design that if it’s not ergonomic it’s pretty darn close.

The design is pretty cool. I have to finally learn to put these on. I don’t have too many jocks like this and I think I can just slide it on like a regular jock. You have to adjust the straps so the fit just right. After 2-3 minutes of me cussing and fidgeting. It’s set up as it should be. The color of the style is black with red. I love how they have the red on the side of the pouch. Sukrew has a really great design philosophy. The design philosophy for this jock is “Designed with an elastic ‘X’ over the pelvis this jock is intended to give a sexual focal point to the garment.” If you don’t feel sexy in this, well you’re not wearing it right!

The sizing is really great with Sukrew. I got an XL and it fit me pretty darn good. It’s been my experience that they are consistent with sizing. You won’t have to worry about sizing from different styles and lines. Everyone I had fit me pretty well.

Review – Cocksox CX01SC Decadence Brief – Anniversary Collection

November 7, 2016 No Comments

The CX01SC was furnished by Cocksox for review.

Rating: 10/10

Daily Fit: 10/10
Sizing: 10/10
Construction: 10/10
Styling: 9/10
Daily Performance: 9.8/10

Pros: Limited Edition Print, Great pouch, Bikini cut, awesome fabric

Cons: Was a bit smaller, can show more bulge than some guys would like

Recommendation: If you love Cocksox these are a must have. The limited edition pair made out of the original style. They fit great with the incredible pouch. They were a little tight when I put them on but really didn’t affect my daily wear.

This year Cocksox celebrated their 10th year in business. In the world of men’s underwear that’s quite an accomplishment. While in Vegas early this year, I heard of this pair. An anniversary pair that would be coming out. It would have words on the fabric that are used to describe Cocksox. The words are pretty spot on for the pair!

The Decadence collection is available in many of their popular styles. Of course, the pair I wanted was the trusty CX01. They fit well, but they were a bit smaller than other pairs. More on that in a minute. However, the print is my favorite. When I was told about it. I pictured a red pair with white and black writing. I wasn’t let down with this pair.

I wore this to work to give them a good work out. They fit like other pairs of Cocksox. They have an amazing pouch that gives you great support. They didn’t bulge as much as I thought they would. Sometimes a pair of Cocksox can make you show off everything to everyone! The pair moved with me and never got in the way. I had to lift and move and be active all day.

Sizing in these were a bit smaller than I am used too. Most pairs of Cocksox fit great. Even if I have worn a size smaller, they still fit pretty well. It wasn’t uncomfortable and I only noticed it when I put them on, after they had been on I didn’t really notice it anymore. Which is fine because I hope to loose weight again and won’t have to worry about these not fitting;!

If you are a fan of Cocksox, the Decadence line is a must have. It celebrates 10 years of an amazing company. Show your love for Cocksox with these!

Review – Cocksox CX01BD Brief

November 5, 2016 2 Comments

The CX01BD was furnished by Cocksox for review.

Rating: 10/10

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

Pros: Great fabric, incredible pouch, fun colors and did I say great pouch?

Cons: The bulge may be too showy for some guys, that’s about all I can see as a down side.

Recommendation: This is one of my favorite briefs of all time. I can’t recommend it enough. I think all guys need one or two of these in their underwear drawer. The support given by Cocksox is one of my favorite ever. They know how to make underwear without any straps or instructions to put on. They make a solid pouch that fits guys of all sizes. I say this is a must own pair!

It’s been a while since we had some Cocksox to review. They sent us over about 10 pairs that you will see in reviews soon. It will be split between myself, Beau Briefs and Salvatore. Cocksox being one of my favorite brands, I was really excited to get some of the pairs from the last year to try out. The CB01BD is one I have loved the color

The CB01BD is one I have loved the color combinations. It’s the CX01 brief cut but with contrasting trim. I received the Coral blue pair. Which is a blue on blue pair. But any of the colors would be amazing. The Vivid and Nightfall are two that are bright and fun. If you want a classic color, try the Carbon black. It makes me want all the colors!

Knowing Cocksox like I do, I had to wear these to work. The incredible pouch is something I was looking forward too. I slid on the pair and felt instantly comfortable and at ease. The pouch has been one of my favorites for years. It fits me so well, it’s like it was designed for me. As the day went on I forgot I was wearing the pair. It covered and supported everything.

The fabric is 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra®. It is the perfect fabric for Cocksox. It breathes throughout the day. I never felt stifled. It conforms to every inch of my body and gives the best support. At the end of the day, the pouch is just as supportive as the beginning of the day.

The sizing of Cocksox is pretty much spot on with their sizing chart. You can almost be guaranteed that it will fit. The fabric has some give in case you buy smaller you won’t feel squashed or constrained. I have some a size smaller, that I wear on occasion, that fit good. I wouldn’t recommend doing that but, in my case, if you gain some weight you won’t have to get new undies.

If you’re looking for an amazing pouch and great fabric these are for you. They are stylish and fun. Made to the Cocksox standards!

REVIEW: Andrew Christian Black Collection Air Tagless Boxer

October 4, 2016 No Comments

Andrew Christian furnished the Black Collection Air Tagless Boxer for review.

Rating: 10/10

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

Pros: Fabric, Pouch, Executive Look

Cons: Absolutely Zero

SALVATORE Recommendation: The Andrew Christian Black Collection is an amazingly crafted set of briefs and boxers. Designed to spew fashion on any occasion and under anything. Andrew and his LA-based design team seem to have created the world’s sleekest and classy cuts for any man. The boxer is no exception to the rule when compared against the other designs in the collection.

I am a true fan of modal fabric and great fitting pouches in designer underwear. This boxer combines the two to create a utopic fit that goes beyond most other products on the market. You can see that I review the pair with a perfect ten. The reason is simple—It really is that great. The pouch and fabric take the cake!

The pouch is the signature oversized anatomical design that Andrew Christian has perfected. Many argue that he is the originator of the ergonomic delight that so many brands have caught on to. That can be an argument for another post. If you like the natural feel and hang of anatomical pouches, this boxer does not disappoint.

The fabric of the brief is one of my favorites. Modal is always awesome. However, the rayon made from modal is an extra soft feel next to the skin that gives a next to nothing composition. This delightful fabric stays in place. It creates a seamless look under clothing, and keeps the legs from bunching too much when seated. The boxer displays the ultimate comfort in men’s underwear fabrics.

I know many of our readers who prefer bikinis/briefs are reluctant to try boxers and trunks I encourage all of you that not matter what you prefer, give this boxer a chance. The price might be a little intimidating, but if you keep an eye on the Andrew Christian site, they are sure to run a sale. This is a must-have addition to your collection.

Review – Andrew Christian BLOW Gilded Jock 90042

September 28, 2016 No Comments

This pair was furnished by Andrew Christian for review

Rating: Overall 9/10

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

Pros:

Classic color scheme
Soft and comfortable material
Great pouch

Cons:

Some may not like the BLOW on the waistband
The pouch is supportive but not ergonomically designed. Looser fit
More of a fashion jock

UNB Tim’s Recommendation: It’s a great jock for running errands or a day at work. I am not sure I would wear it to the gym or active. I could see it under a suit or a night out. The fabric will be something I think most guys will love. This will be a pair I plan to wear often.

One of the pairs we received from Andrew Christian is the BLOW Gilded Jock. It is one I really wanted to try. I really liked the look of the jock and the fabric. The previous review of the FUKR Net Brief, I hoped it lived up to or even exceeded that review.

The jock didn’t disappoint. It was probably one of the most comfortable pairs I have tried from Andrew Christian. The pouch is made out of 95% Cotton 5% Spandex blend. It was super soft. It really felt awesome on. The pouch was supportive and not too tight. A lot of sports jocks can be super tight. This one let things fall naturally and comfortably.

I wore the BLOW Gilded Jock on a very hot day. In Atlanta, we were blessed with 90-degree weather in September. This was a great choice for the day. I wore it to a job where I was outside and in the car a lot. The jocks material and design kept me cool. I was really happy about that. One design element I really like is the strap design. It’s not a strap sewn onto the waistband. The design has a solid fabric sewn into the waistband. Then the leg straps attached. This kept the straps in place.

The sizing is pretty spot on. Again, I never had an issue with Andrew Christian sizing. They have had a consist ant sizing over the years. Just make sure you double check the size guide for the exact sizes. The XL I received fit pretty well.

Lastly, is the design. I really like the solid black with gold trim. The center seam is gold as well as the waistband BLOW writing. Black and Gold is a classic combination. It also comes in white and red.

REVIEW: Andrew Christian Almost Naked Steel Tagless Brief

September 27, 2016 No Comments

Andrew Christian furnished the Almost Naked Steel Tagless Brief for review.

Rating: 8.6/10

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

Pros: Great stripe, soft Fabric, amazing cut.

Cons: Pouch is cut smaller than normal Almost Naked line.

SALVATORE Recommendation: I have been eyeballing this brief since Andrew Christian released it a while back. Andrew Christian’s Almost Naked line is what caused me to seriously consider anatomical pouches back in 2011. Since then, I always try and scope out his new products. Andrew Christian always produces superior products.

I do believe that every man should have the finest that the industry has to offer. Because I enjoy the anatomical pouch, I consider myself a student of the evolution of ergonometry (Yes, I just made that word up)! Andrew Christian is definitely one of the top producers of anatomical pouches to date. This brief took me by surprise. The pouch was much tighter and more restrictive than the typical Andrew Christian Almost Naked anatomical pouch. I found the pouch binding and almost uncomfortable. This brief’s pouch finds it’s best use in the gym or playing sports that need restriction in the crotch area of the underwear.

The fabric is amazing. I am not sure how Andrew Christian has perfected a cotton/lycra blend that feels so great. The lightweight airy feel of the brief truly lives up to it’s namesake—Almost Naked. I could barely feel the fabric next to my skin. This is something I always enjoy as a base layer.

The construction of the brief is absolutely top notch. The design and production teams in Los Angeles spare not expense in creating near perfection. Stylish and appropriate for all types of wear and use, the Andrew Christian Almost Naked Steel Tagless Brief is a great addition to my top drawer and I recommend that you give it a shot as well.

Review – Andrew Christian FUKR Net Brief 90036

September 25, 2016 No Comments

This pair was furnished by Andrew Christian for review

Rating: 9/10

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

Pros:

Super comfortable mesh fabric
Great supportive pouch
Sexy design perfect for every day wear

Cons:

Those guys who don’t like bright waistband may not like the FUKR band
If you’re conservative in underwear choice this is not for you
Mesh isn’t for everyone

UNB Tim’s Recommendation:

If you want a super sexy and fun pair of underwear. The Andrew Christian FUKR Net Brief 90036 is it. The mesh fabric is one of the best I ever tried. It’s fun, sexy and amazingly comfortable. I recommend this pair for anyone wanting to try or who already love mesh underwear

We got a few pairs of new Andrew Christian to review. One pair I was very curious about was the FUKR Net Brief. I am a fan of mesh but it’s not all meshes. There are a few that make you feel like you are rubbing your manhood against a cheese grater. Ok, that was a little too over the top but it’s true. Some mesh fabrics were made to be taken off. I had a bit worried about this pair but I was going to give it a try.

I wore these on a weekend day where it was going to be around the house. Just in case things went down hill with these. The first thing I noticed was the pouch. Net underwear in the past really haven’t had great pouches. I slid them on and I was seriously impressed. The mesh didn’t feel like mesh. It felt more like a solid fabric. It never got annoying at all. To say I was impressed is an understatement. The fabric was pretty incredible. I could have worn these on a regular day. Where have these been in the HOT southern summer.

The pair is made out of the following fabric. The Light Cool Fabric Content: 57% Cotton 38% Polyester 5% Spandex and Soft Contrast Stretch Fabric Content: 93% Cotton 7% Spandex. This fabric really impressed me. I was not expecting it to be so comfortable throughout the day. It was a very wise choice of them to use.

The sizing of the pair was pretty much as guaranteed. I wore and XL and that is my normal size. It fit me just fine. Make sure you double check the size chart. I don’t recall anyone really complaining about AC and their sizing. You should be good picking

I really liked this pair. I will wear it much more and not just on date nights. The FUKR brief is perfect for hot and humid weather like Atlanta in 90+ degree heat. If you’re looking for something super sexy and fun, give this brief a look. I don’t think you will be disappointed

Review – Krakatoa Boxer Briefs

September 14, 2016 1 Comment

The Krakatoa Boxer Brief was furnished for review by Krakatoa Underwear

Rating: 8/10

Daily Fit: 8/10
Sizing: 8/10
Construction: 10/10
Styling: 8/10
Daily Performance: 8.2

Pros: Amazing Fabric, good boxer brief pouch design, and great for an active guy.

Cons: Looser fit, only in 5 colors .

UNB Tim recommendation: I would definitely recommend these. If you are a boxer brief fan and are an active guy. These are for you. The fabric and pouch will give you breathability and support. Even if you aren’t a boxer brief guy. I say try something new. I see a big future for Krakatoa and think we are going to see amazing things from them .

Krakatoa Underwear is one of the new kids on the block. I originally found them on Instagram. We reached out and started a relationship with them. They are two passionate guys about making the best underwear they can! They have a cool pouch design. The two pouch guys, Salvatore and myself, decided to give them a go.

Let me preface this by saying if you’re a long time reader you know this. I am not a fan of boxer briefs. It’s the fit I don’t like.Salvatore and I split up the collection. Which is a brief, trunk and boxer brief. We both will be reviewing the boxer brief. I drew the short straw and got the boxer brief. Little did I know what would happen.

The first thing you notice when you take Krakatoa Underwear out of the package is the fabric. The fabric is a 92 percent Micro-Modal + 8 percent Spandex. Modal is my favorite fabric for underwear. The first reason is it’s super soft. Next, it breathes throughout the day. Third, it’s just so darn comfy.

I put these on and headed out for a day in the Georgia heat and humidity. This was going to give them a workout. Working my part time job is a lot of driving and moving. The one thing I noticed was the legs weren’t super tight. Which is my preference. This is because I hate when the legs ride up during the day. Usually, pairs that are looser in the fit will do this. However, these never rode up or bunched. I was super impressed.

The pouch is a new design, for a boxer brief is pretty good. I had no issues of things getting out place during the day. Again, I was surprised. Having a looser cut to me usually, spells disaster for a full days wear. It’s a good design for a boxer brief pouch. We need more brands to do that!

How was the sizing? I hear some of you asking. Well, this is one of the few times I may suggest getting a size smaller. The boxer briefs were loose in the leg and I had more than enough room in the waist. I like my undies a bit tighter. If you are a fan of looser cut undies get your size in inches. If, however, you want this tighter, go a size smaller. It’s not often I tell you guys to go smaller!

Find these at the Krakatoa Underwear site. Which happens to have free shipping in the US!

Ergowear Pouches—A UNB MINI-SERIES Part IV

August 29, 2016 1 Comment

Candyman Fashion furnished the X3D SUAVE THONG 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: No cons.

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 went to my bathroom opened the package. I 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. The fourth pair I pulled out was the X3D SUAVE THONG in vermouth.

Never been a thong man. Sure, I have a few in my collection. But up until now, I’ve never considered them for anything other than sleeping in. The idea of something riding up the crack has always been unappealing to me. That changed when Ergowear arrived at my mailbox. Something about the soft anatomical pouch that the Suave collection. That overwhelms the thought of dislike for thongs. I enjoyed wearing this pair.

Here are few things that stuck out to me:

Pouch: The X3D Pouch is one of my favorite pouches. Coming from a pouch snob, you should take that lightly. The anatomy fits just right in this collection. Surpassingly, the thong lived up to my expectation.
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. It allows very little moisture absorption. One of the best I’ve ever put on.

If you’ve read any of the posts in this mini-series. You will know that what I just said is almost identical to some of the other posts. That’s because the collection is simply amazing. I am so shocked that that Ergowear was able to translate such comfort into a thong. Try it out!

Review – King Style Series D- Eco-Fashion Tencel Fiber Brief

August 27, 2016 No Comments

King Style Underwear provided me with these undies for review. This is my second pair of King Style Underwear that I have had the opportunity to review. If you are looking for something unique and have an open mind about your undies, check these out for sure.

Rating: 8.6/10

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

Pros: The Rayon Spandex fabric is amazing and the style is totally on point

Cons: Too much fabric in the pouch flap, and watch your sizing on these as well

UNB John’s recommendation: These are a very fun pair of undies and if you are looking for something a little different that you can wear out for the night or wear all day give these a try. I recommend these for the fabric alone.

So this is the second pair in the King Style series that I had the opportunity to review. I actually liked these a lot better than the trunks that I reviewed. Don’t get me wrong, the trunks are a pair I will keep and wear often, but these just seemed more my style. First off, I really like the contrasting colors around the leg openings. And the racing stripes down both sides. It just adds a little more fun and style to your typical pair of black briefs. The fabric, which was the first thing I noticed was very light and thin, but yet felt strong and not cheap at all. The waistband was similar, very thin and comfortable.

Just like the trunks, I reviewed from King Style. These have a very unique pouch in the front that keeps your balls and your shaft separate. The fabric in the construction of the pouch is flexible enough to move with you and adjust with the size of your shaft throughout the day. However, it seems like there is a lot of extra fabric in the pouch. It almost feels and looks like just a wad of extra fabric. On the flip side, the coverage over the butt is amazing. I love my squats at the gym. So I have a little extra back there and with most briefs I feel like my ass cheeks are hanging out, but not with these. They made my butt look amazing which is always a plus.

The fabric is amazing is it a Rayon Spandex mix that King Style calls Micro Tencel. It is very soft and breathable which is awesome. There Ebay store also says it is naturally wrinkle-resistant and environmentally sustainable. You have to try it to really understand the greatness of this fabric.

Review -King Style Underwear: Series D- Young & Free Limited Edition Boxer Brief

King Style Underwear provided me with these undies for review. This is my first pair of King Style Underwear that I have had the opportunity to review. If you are looking for something a little different these are for you

Rating: 7.8/10

• Daily Fit: 7/10

• Sizing: 7/10

• Construction: 8/10

• Styling: 10/10

• Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros: The waistband is awesome and I love the style of the fabric.

Cons: Inner separation brief is great for lift, but not sure I could wear it all day.

UNB John’s recommendation: I would recommend these if you are looking for a sexy pair of trunks to wear out. That also, provide a nice profile on a hot summer night.

This is the first pair of King Style that I have had the opportunity to review. I actually got another pair in this same package to review so be looking for that review as well. The first thing that I noticed when I took these out of the package was the fun waistband. I love wearing your non-traditional brands. That when people see the logo waistband they are intrigued. The other thing I noticed was the fun fabric. The fabric has a slight sheer striping to it. Which makes these a super sexy pair of undies that you wouldn’t mind showing off.

The pouch is also unique. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it at first. After trying another pair of “separate pouch” trunks, I thought I had an idea. When you put these on, you will notice a hole in the pouch which almost looks like a built in cock-ring. Which can give you lift and nice profile. But it was a little tight for “everything” to fit though. so after a little research, I found that you are just supposed to put your shaft though the hole and separate your shaft from your balls. This was a lot more comfortable and was a unique feeling for sure. It took me a couple of times wearing these to get used to that feeling. The front pouch also has just a flap of fabric over where your shaft sits. Which was nice as it added for movement over the day. As you went through your day these undies almost catered to the size and position of your shaft. This was also very convenient when using the restroom. Just lift the flap and you are ready to go. I am sure this could be convenient in other ways as well. 😉

Overall I really like these as a night out pair of undies. I am not sure the pouch would be something I would be able to wear all day or to the gym. But if you are looking for a sexy pair of trunks that have a bit of uniqueness to them, these are for you. If you are looking to try something a little different and have an open mind, I think you would enjoy these as well.

Review N2N Bodywear DC6 Slik Bikini

August 22, 2016 No Comments

N2N Bodywear furnished the DC5 SLIK Bikini in the color mocha for review.

Rating: 9.8/10
Daily Fit: 10/10
Sizing: 10/10
Construction: 10/10
Styling: 9/10
Daily Performance: 10/10
Pros: Nice soft fabric
Cons: No real cons, but only available in 4 colors
The Bottom Drawer Recommendation: Overall this is a solid bikini brief that would be great for everyday wear and probably be fine for active activities like sports.

This is the sister or maybe brother of the DC5 Slik G I reviewed a little bit back. I’m going to start with the slight modifications I’d make to the DC6 Slik Bikini, which are only personal preference. I’d like the front pouch to be a little narrower and a little less back coverage. With that being said these are super comfortable and a great bikini.

As I said with the G review, I was concerned about the pouch of these after my first experience with a pair of N2N. I am pleased with the fit of the pouch and the amount of support they give. N2N calls the pouch seamless, which is the look that it gives you of a smooth pouch with no seams. The pouch does have some stitching at the base of the pouch to give it some contouring. This contouring helps cradle the boys.

The fabric of the bikini brief I received actually feels softer to me than the thong version and feels great on. Both are made out of a blend of 92% polyester and 8% spandex fabric. I’m not a fan of the elastic waistbands that carry the brand name on them, so these are right up my alley there. They do have a small N2N logo tag on the right hip, which is subtle and how I think it should be. Another criteria that this pair of underwear met of mine are narrow sides. These come in at around one inch.

The two modifications I mentioned early do not detract from this being an excellent bikini brief. I would considering adding another pair of these to the collection. They are a little bit more than I would like to pay for a pair of underwear, but they are made in the USA. I do really like the mocha color (called brown on their website) I received. It is actually a color I don’t have in my underwear drawer, so it is a nice addition.

Review – N2N Bodywear Santorini Brief

August 21, 2016 No Comments

N2N Bodywear furnished the Santorini Brief (SC4) for review.

Rating: 7.8/10

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

Pros:

Nice pouch, with a fun stripe detail.
Well constructed and sturdy cotton.

Cons:

Sturdy cotton not as soft as other cotton fabric N2N has had.
White undies are not my fav.

UNB T recommendation: A good pair to add to your basics collection, but maybe not for special occasions.

More N2N is never a problem for me. I should probably invest in their stock, I’m such a believer. I love their extra special stuff, and I have a lot of their “basics” styles as well. The cut and pouch size on this pair are really nice. Especially the pouch which is huggy without being too squishy. My favorite part of this pair is the fancy greek inspired pattern on the waistband (I am into creative waistbands).

I love the cut of N2N’s underwear. They give very flattering pouches PAIRED with actual butt coverage (for the styles that want to cover the butt, that is). This pair has contrast bands around the leg holes and a stripe down the pouch front. This creates a nice assist to show off the curvy aspects of your anatomy.

The fabric of the underwear is 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex. It is a really good dense cotton. I shouldn’t have a problem with it. But because I was sent this pair alongside the 80% Cotton Neon brief. I feel like this is more of a “sturdy” cotton, so the feel isn’t as silky. It’s still a very nice cotton, but I would wear this in a cooler situation.

I would say I liked wearing this pair with a looser pair of pants/shorts, because it has a little more hold to it. So you’re not flopping around everywhere. I tend to like wearing slightly more “secure” pouch undies for when I’m wearing looser bottoms. Because I don’t want EVERYTHING swinging around.

It comes in 2 colors: White with blue contrast, or blue with white contrast. For $23, it’s definitely a good pair of underwear. Check it out at N2N Bodywear, and look at the other cuts in the Santorini collection.

Sizing: I got a Large, and I’m usually a large. Fits great. N2N is to my knowledge pretty dang accurate with their sizing.

Likes and Dislikes: I love the simple contrast details,and the nautical vibe of this pair. I

Review N2N Bodywear Neon Classic Cotton Brief

N2N Bodywear furnished the Neon Classic Cotton Brief (NC12) for review

Rating: 10/10

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

PROS:

Hugging anatomic pouch makes package feel loved but allowed to hang free.
Sexy neon color cotton.
Really nice texture cotton fabric.

CONS:

I don’t have 10 more of these undies.
Wish it came in more neon colors.

UNB T recommendation: I wouldn’t work out in this. But that’s mostly because I want to keep its longevity. I wore this to many functions, hanging around, an Underwear Bear Dance Cruise.

.

If you don’t already know, I have had a very long love affair with the products of N2N Bodywear. I love it when we do reviews for them because it usually means I’ll be very happy with what I get to review. This pair is exceptionally good. It is called the Neon Classic Cotton Brief. Most people think of “classic” and associate boring, this is nothing like that. The pouch is super great at letting your package hang while still keeping it supported. And out of the way of your legs. The pair is 80% cotton and 20% spandex, but it’s such an elegant blend, it feels like there’s silk in it. The pair is either all pink or all yellow, both neon, and features a black waistband.

The Freedom Stretch N-hance pouch on this pair is so great. Due to the combination of amazing pouch shape and fabric used. I felt so sexy wearing this all day on a cruise ship where underwear was the featured element for the dance party. It lets your package jiggle and bounce. While also not making you have to adjust your package ever from sitting or standing or anything. It also gives good butt coverage even for big muscle-butts. The waistband didn’t ride down in back if I had to bend over or anything. It does have a tag in the back. But it’s not that big of a bother (I am not an “all tags suck” kind of guy, just the irritating ones.)

N2N sizing is across the board very accurate with their size chart. I would stick with the size you are. Like I said above, I wish it came in more neon colors. I do appreciate the neon pink and highlighter yellow that it comes in already.

Review – N2N Bodywear Milan Brief

August 17, 2016 No Comments

N2N MB3 Milan Sport Brief was furnished by N2N Bodywear

Rating: 9.2/10

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

Pros: Perfect fit, fun design, conservative cut but edgy style

Cons: Material

UndiesRock recommendation: If you’re looking for swimmers with a conservative cut. But like edgier, youthful designs then this is all you! I can’t stress how much I love these swimmers, and I know you will. By far my favorite swim brief of 2016, hope you enjoy my review as much as I dig these spot on swimmers

Hey fellow underwear fans. It’s UndiesRock reviewing another unsurprisingly awesome pair of N2N swim briefs. As we start to hit the brakes on summertime. It’s important to have a great pair of transition swimwear to help cruise into the cooler months. These MB3 Milan Sport Swim briefs by N2N are the way to go! First off, let’s take some time to applaud N2N. They debuted some of the coolest and innovative swimwear designs we’ve seen all year. I mean, these Milan swimmers are just impeccable. Grom the sporty, tight, classic full-coverage fit, to the trendy color options and clean stripes. We have ourselves the ultimate sport swim brief.

Ok, we all know that comfort is the ultimate criteria for reaching swim brief nirvana. The comfort meter on these suckers is off the charts. The 83% nylon/17% spandex material allows for liberal stretch with sustainable form. I own a medium sized pair which is made for a 32-34″ waist and it definitely fits true to size. The fit is snug in all the right places but does not restrict or pinch any areas of the body. The fit on the butt is textbook; snug and tight, which doesn’t become baggy when wet. In my experience with other swim briefs, the leg openings tend to be quite tight with little give which then allows for the hem to dig into the skin. This Milan pair does not do this whatsoever! This pair is equipped with an inner draw chord. Which provides the option to conceal the strings so they are not visible. But also allows for unlimited adjustability. Also, one thing that everyone should be aware of is that this swimwear is unlined. So be prepared for some transparency post swim. I personally don’t mind the single layer of material. It allows for almost underwear-like comfort. It can definitely be revealing if you are in public situations. Even though the pouch is single ply. It still retains the right amount of support for the package. but with a little extra freedom of movement. And I cannot stress this enoug. For sure your package will have a little more definition. Which is totally cool.

The design on the MB3 Milan Sport combines a classic cut with an edgy appeal. This swimwear is substantial so if you are looking for a pair that is full coverage. Then these are the ones to purchase. But don’t be fooled by the conservative cut. Because these bad boys are far from mundane. They have so much character with the three-panel, tricolor, gradient, color-block design. That is offered in blue, red, and green (the option I own). The sides of the swim brief are roughly 2.75″ in length providing a mid-rise waist. I cannot write this review without giving a shout-out to the seamless pouch design. As you all know, I am a sucker for seamless fronts because of the clean/sharp aesthetic and added comfort points. So this pair definitely hits the spot in this department. Although the front is seamless, I think it’s important to mention that there are horizontal seams where the colors transition. At first I thought this might bother me. But honestly it didn’t faze me the slightest, but I could see how this could be bothersome to some dudes. N2N can definitely level up with a fully seamless design, but I feel like I’m getting too nitpicky. One aspect of this pair that was a little disappointing to me is that the material tends to wear down rather quickly after just a couple washes. Here is an image to show you what I am talking about:

As you can see the material tends to fray and get pulpy – I don’t know if this is an accurate adjective, but you get the point.

Those who have been following N2N throughout the years know that the brand has legacy cuts that are reissued with different patterns and material each season. But these N2N Milan swim briefs are brand new to the lineup. For this being the first generation, N2N hit a grand slam with these swimmers and I hope these are here to stay! Definitely a huge success of a style. I applaud N2N for these tasteful and flattering simmers. Right now you can catch these directly from the N2N site for $30 large. At this price point this pair is a total steal and a no brainer purchase. You definitely get a whole lot of swim brief for 30 bucks. Which is a small price to pay to turn heads at the beach. Especially when you can easily drop $100 for a decent pair of swim briefs in this day and age. Personally, I haven’t had much of a summer due to my work life. My August is starting to free up. You better believe that I will be out on my paddle board with my girl soaking up the sun and salt in these perfect M83 Milan swim briefs from N2N.

Review – King StyleSide Stripe Piping Type C Brief

Rating: 9/10

Construction: 9/10
Styling: 9/10
Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Perfect mesh panel for a hot day. Interesting cut and design

Cons:. If you don’t like dressing up this isn’t for you. If you’re conservative you may not like the style.

UNB Tim recommendation: This pair is perfect for a hot humid day. It felt great and there isn’t any discomfort wearing it all day. It’s something different outside of my comfort zone.

King Style sent us 4 pairs to reviews. I posted one earlier and this is the second. UNB John will be doing the rest. It’s been a while since we had a review from him and we’re glad he’s back. The last pair was a boxer brief with a sleeve for you business. This pair was a brief and had, for a lack of better word, for your boys.

As I said in the previous review, King Style makes interesting undies. However, they have found a great place that makes their underwear different yet comfortable. I have tried so many types of underwear. Usually, when I find a brand like King Style. They have so much elastic to keep things in place, it cuts off circulation and makes me wish I had never tried them.

This is not the case with King Style. The Brief for this review was really interesting. It’s another pair where you dress up. Again if you’re not a fan you may not like that. Your boys, for a lack of better word, sit in a pouch. Not like an ergonomic pouch but one designed for the boys. They fit snug and feels really comfy. The pouch is also made out of mesh. This feature made my day. Being in Atlanta with 80%+ humidity, 90+ degree days and 72 Degree dew point. It’s miserable. This pouch made things breath and I felt awesome throughout the day. I don’t know who came up with this idea at King Style but my hat is off to you!

I wore these all day. To my part time job that is active and in the humidity. They fit pretty well. Again the mesh pouch for the boys kept me very cool. I think at one point I felt a breeze. I was almost like I wasn’t wearing any underwear.

Just like the sizing in the previous pair. Their sizing is not standard US sizing. It’s going to run smaller on the sizing chart. You may have to go up a size. So if you normally wear a medium you may need a large.

It was a pair that I will wear again. This pair is great for summer and really breathes with you throughout the day. Great job on these King Style.

Pros: Interesting design, was comfortable for a days wear. Not hard to put on

Cons:.Guys who don’t like to dress up may not like it. Others may not like the sleeve design

UNB Tim recommendation: I was surprised how much I liked this. If you want something different that doesn’t constrain or

This is a review I swear I wrote a while back. I had King Style follow up with me and realized I didn’t post it. So my apologies to King Style for the delay. This was my first time wearing anything by King Style. They are for a lack of better word, interesting. They have some designs that are not the norm with pockets, sleeves.

Normally I wouldn’t like these types of pairs. I say this because the pairs are overly complicated in the way you put them on and how they fit during the day. But I gave it the UNB try. The Style Stripe boxer is a little interesting. They look like regular boxer briefs but have a sleep that your member goes through. When I put them on they were pretty easy to get into. One thing I noticed is that the sleeve is open at the top. So it has a bit of a peekaboo effect.

I didn’t wear these on a day where I was going to be gone for too long out of the house. If things go wrong I didn’t want to be in these for an entire day. During my wear running some errands I forgot what pair I was wearing. I was really surprised on how they fit. Unlike other pairs they didn’t constrict or bind. There isn’t any elastic involved in the pouch design. It felt like I was dressing up. So those guys who are the kind who dress up you need this pair. It will keep everything pointing up.

The sizing was pretty good. Note that their sizing doesn’t match standard US sizing. I am usually and XL and wore and XXL. This means you may have to move a size up from your usual size. If you buy from any site they will have the size chart. We also have posted it above.

REVIEW: N2N Bodywear Neon Classic Cotton Boxster

August 10, 2016 No Comments

N2N Bodywear furnished the Neon Classic Cotton Boxster (NC16) for review.

Rating: 7.4/10

Daily Fit: 6/10
Sizing: 9/10
Construction: 7/10
Styling: 8/10
Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros: Colors, Fabric.

Cons: Leg Bands, Restrictive Pouch.

SALVATORE Recommendation: I am typically a brief guy, but have been attempting to add more boxer briefs and trunks to my collection. The simple reason is that my wife thinks they are sexy and comments on trunks or boxers briefs every time I wear them. I am not saying that you should select your underwear solely on what your wife/girlfriend/significant other thinks. I am saying that she does play a role in influencing what I buy and wear. After all, we enjoy going underwear shopping together.

This particular design gave me the opportunity to try something new and add a trunk to the collection. Because I am so into anatomical pouches. The write-up and look of this boxster seemed to be a perfect pair. To add to my budding collection of trunks and boxer briefs. I received them in the mail, opened them up, got excited about the look and feel and decided to try them on. These are my findings:

Pouch: Contrary to the pictures posted on line of the sexy model with the big package hanging naturally inn an ergonomical looking design, there IS NO POUCH. The boxster is virtually completely flat in the front causing testicles to stick to legs. This overwhelmed my disappointing feelers. My system failed to recognize the potential of a pouchless trunk.

Leg Bands: The leg bands are extremely loose fitting and cause severe bunching under clothing. Personally, this is the number one reason I stay away from trunks and boxer briefs. I do not like the bunching effect. I have found several well-constructed trunks that do not bunch. The tradeoff is a really tight leg band that sometimes leaves ridiculous lines under clothing.

Fabric: The cotton and spandex blend is the most appealing thing about this trunk. The fabric is super duper soft and feels so incredible laying on the skin. WoW! Is all I can say about the fabric. Although I have been very critical about this boxster. I recommend the pair for a lounging lay around the house day type of garment. The color pops and will draw attention if you happen to be standing in front of an open window or door. Who knows, maybe that is what you are after!!!!!!

I also recognize that I have a bias towards pouch types and briefs. With that said, many people are not bothered by a snuggly fitting pouch and bunching under their pants. That’s okay. I will always say that N2N puts a lot of effort into their designs and makes incredible garments with men in mind. Don’t let me dissuade you from making the purchase. Go buy a pair and do an honest assessment for yourself. Enjoy this great men’s underwear designer.

Rating: 10/10

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

Pros: Natural Pouch, Slinky Fabric, Lightweight.

Cons: None.

SALVATORE Recommendation: Admittedly, this is an older design with an updated color option. However, when I received the N2N Bodywear Air Brief in Peach, my eye was immediately drawn to its smooth look and lightweight feel. There was something new and clean about this brief that I hadn’t noticed before. It helped me get in the mood for a summer filled with fun new underwear colors, styles, and cuts.

If you read any review that I have done on this blog, you will know that I am a sucker for pouches. My collection is almost exclusively anatomical in nature. I have an eye for what pouch will work for me as soon as I physically get my hands on a brief. With that said, UNB Tim, put the thought in my head that sometimes a slinky fabric can give the same effect without the center seam anatomical pouch design that I’ve grown accustomed to. That led to me trying this brief and blowing my normal culling process out the window. The fabric on this brief is so sexy and slinky, that it might be the most perfect natural hang in my collection. I wish I had this brief in every color. N2N has done it again and created a manly brief that is both sexy and comfortable.

Here are a few things that I’d like to highlight.

Pouch: Read above. No need to restate the obvious. For a pouch snob, I didn’t turn my nose up when I slipped these on. I smiled from ear to ear and told my wife how awesome the design is. She agreed and even commented that they looked nice on me. She’s a sucker for a great pouch look too.

Waistband: This brief does not have your typical wide waistband that you see on many designers’ undies today. The waistband is narrow and slim and lies perfectly below the belt line so that it doesn’t stick out of pants at all. N2N perfectly matches up their logo over the hips (on the waistband) to create downward arrow focusing on the crotch of the underwear. Very artsy design that is admirable and creative.

Fabric: This fabric blend is slinky, thin, and soft. Doesn’t get any better than this. Be aware that if you wear this brief under thin pants or dress slacks. You get the full impression of your manhood without any hidden secrets. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the occasion of wear. Overall, the fabric gives you an “I’M NAKED!” feel. It’s splendid.

This design is a must have for your underwear drawer. As N2N continues the trend of updating colors to some of their designs that are flawless. I will be adding more and more colors of the Air Brief to my already outstanding collection of pouch briefs that allow for the natural to take place.

Cons: none.

pleep recommendations: If you are a fan of N2N tights then you will love these.

I have worn and own a lot of N2N gear by now, and def have had quite a few pairs of tights by them. I absolutely love the styling on this pair, and of course, they used a nice soft fabric for the tights. The color choices are Silver/Black, White/Grey, Blue/White.

I wore these shorts around the condo as well as to the gym. I have worn N2N tights (or runners) to the gym before, so I already knew that with their cut they will slightly show off your package and butt, but with the coloring combo of this pair doesn’t emphasize your crotch or rear too much so, this makes them very gym appropriate or even out on a running trail.

The size I received from them was a L and it fit perfectly everywhere. They are def cut to the standard American size L, so if you normally wear a L then go on and buy a L for this one too.

Review – N2N Bodywear Spartan Jockstrap

August 2, 2016 No Comments

N2N Bodywear furnished the Spartan Jockstrap for review

Rating: 9/10

Daily Fit: 9/10
Sizing: 8.5/10
Construction: 9/10
Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Unique straps, cool waistband, great looking/comfy pouch

Cons: Straps could take some getting used too.

Beau Briefs recommendation: Yep, this is a good one to have!

When in Rome…you’re supposed to do something, I can’t quite remember. But when you’re in Sparta you slay! And it’s safe to say you’ll slay em in this jockstrap. I won’t lie, I was a bit skeptical about the cut. The straps are shaped a bit differently than I’m used to. The area that joins the straps to the waistband was a bit more triangular and I just wasn’t sure.

Well, I am now. It’s great! It’s a fun difference that helps set this pair apart from other jockstraps. Plus the additional fabric gives the colors more time to pop and contrast. It’s unique and in our world of modern day underwear. It can sometimes be difficult to be unique while not sacrificing functionality, wearability, or comfort. So kudos, N2N!

I am a big fan of the color combo that I got. I tried on (and am wearing as I write this) the dark gray and orange option. The orange piping is fun and the piping itself is strong and supportive. The other combos look like a lot of fun too, especially the mint.

Now this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone but the pouch is very comfortable. I really enjoy N2N’s pouches like this. They are full enough to hold everything and kind of cradle everything in a way that is also very flattering. Sometimes when underwear is very flattening in the basket area the term “bulge” isn’t very accurate. But with N2N’s attention to the attraction these pouches are well deserving of the bulge moniker.

The waistband is awesome.

I remember back in elementary school learning about the Greek key and it is incorporated in a fun way with the N2N brand here. It’s eye-catching yet simple, like the original. The band size itself is also a good width, not overly large and not too small to be unable to do its job. Thumbs up Sparta!

So if you are looking for a new jockstrap to add to the collection this should definitely be on your list.
