Swimwear Sunday

Category

If you would have told me there would be a certain sector of guys who would go crazy over swim thongs. I would have thought you were crazy a few years ago. But over the last year, we have seen growth in the swim thong market. Not only from gay guys but straight guys. YES, straight guys are going suns out buns out for summer. We are reaching a point where underwear/swimwear is no longer gay. It’s for all guys.

Today we chose the JOR Sunny Swim thong. It’s going to be in our Swimwear Guide (we shot it yesterday) and available in solids and prints. One color it is available in is Fuchsia. I mean if you’re going to rock the thong why now announce it to everyone around! Say, you’re less included to shout it out they also have it in black and white. But really, wearing a thong on the beach will bring attention in the US.

JOR has been one of the companies that have embraced the swim thong. They have been making them in every collection for the last year or more. Each collection they seem to release more and more swim thongs. That means you guys are buying them and wearing them. I think we still have a ways to go to get more on the beach but hey, it’s a start.

If you want to try a swim thong. We think this pair will be an awesome first pair. It’s not too small or too big but just right. If you already wear a bikini why not take the next step and thong it on the beach or private pool! We say go for it and rock it proud

BRAND: JOR
PAIR: Sunny Swim Thong 0427
COLORS: Black, Fuchsia, White, Grey Print, and Yellow Print
FABRIC: 84%NYLON 16%SPANDEX
SIZES: Small  – XL
COST: $41.60

Are you wanting to take the Swim Brief Challenge? But you don’t want something too skimpy. You just want to dip your toe in the swim brief water. One of the best pairs to get is the Speedo Core Solid Brief. This is one of the first swim briefs I ever wore. It’s a classic in the world of swimwear. One that many guys out there wore on at swim team practice.

The Core Solid Brief is a solid. Shocking news i know! It’s in four colors, Navy, Red, Blue and Black. They are pretty basic in the world of swimwear. I think the first pair of these I bought were the black. You really can’t go wrong with the black. This pair is what I call a competition cut. It has wider sides, roughly about 3 inches. It will give you ample coverage but still have a brief form.

Why is this a beginners pair? As mentioned above you won’t be showing off all the goods. It’s a bigger cut but is flattering on many body types. The front is flat with no pouch. This mean’s you won’t be bulging to the extreme. Also, the pair fits great. I remember the first time I tried one on and I was like “OMG this feels amazing.” The brief will give you the support you need without constricting.

This is the pair that introduced me into wearing Speedos (I can say that since I’m talking about a Speedo brand swim brief) on the beach and in the pool. After a while I ventured into other brands and smaller pairs. I guess you could call this the gateway pair. It allowed me to feel comfortable and then move on to other pairs.

Lastly the pair is made from 74% Nylon / 26% LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber. Their Xtra Life Lycra is supposed to give 5-10X more wear. I can’t vouch for that seeing I haven’t bought one of these in the last few years. This pair is available for $39.00 from the Speedo site or you can find them at any big sporting goods retailer.

Our swimwear Sunday pair today is one that I caught a glimpse of this week while I was looking up something else on the Andrew Christian site. I was like WHOA what is this? I stopped my search and saved it for today. Andrew Christian has always has some amazing swimwear each season, and this summer is no different.

The Curve bikini has three of my favorite colors in swimwear. Blue, white and red. I have had a few pairs over the years with this combination. The way the colors are sewn together make this POP to me. It’s not a big enough pop like the previous cheetah print that will draw major attention to you. But I’m pretty sure that you may get some compliments. This is the best color combination in swimwear. PERIOD, sorry couldn’t resist.

The official descption from Andrew Christian is:

Chic and sexy, the Limited Edition Curve Bikini will have you looking your best! With a unique asymmetrical color blocking design, this piece is a work of art. Featuring our slimming waistband and snug leg openings, make this body-hugging unlined bikini look and feel painted on. The front pouch has a seam to increase volume and pull eyes on the anatomically correct pouch. When you pull them on, the quick drying and lightweight material feels you’re not wearing anything at all.

I think this is a must have pair for summer. There are many of you out there who believe like I do that you should have more than one pair of swimwear for summer. So put this in your rotation and wear it often! I don’t think you will be disappointed. Find this pair at the Andrew Christian Site.

BRAND: Andrew Christian
COLORS: Red, White, Blue and Aqua, white and Navy
FABRIC: Fabric Content: 80% Nylon 20% Spandex. Contrast Fabric Content: 85% Polyester 15% Spandex
SIZES: x-Small – X-Large
COST: $43.00

This swimwear Sunday is for the guy who’s super comfortable wearing a swim brief. In fact you want something that will show off on the beach. Bring attention to yourself or just express your personality. One brand that makes such pairs described above is Slick It Up. They have made some super fun pairs over the years. The pair we choose was the Pink Panther.

This leopard print suit has pink, orange, yellow and black. Slick It Up says this pair can not be tamed. And I would agree with that statement. It’s a little over the top but if you’re going to wear this pair, you’re not going to mind at all. You have a personality over the top, we would assume The pair is lined and is made from a 4-way stretch spandex material.

Where would you wear this pair? Well, if you have the personality to pull it off I would say anywhere. If you’re a bit more subtle in your personality and don’t want to draw attention to yourself on a public beach, you may consider this a great swim party pair. Many of us are much more likely to put this on for a swim party rather than a beach.

If you love this pair we suggest you head over to the Slick It Up Site. They have this and a few more fun swim pairs. We love profiling them and note that all their products are made in the USA in Manhattan.

BRAND: Slick it Up
COLORS:  AS seen
FABRIC: 4-Way stretch spandex
SIZES: Small – XL (but see the size chart!!!)
COST: $68.00

It’s swimwear Sunday! It is also Easter here in the US. I really wanted to find a pastel pink swim brief for today. But alas, I had too much to do this weekend and didn’t get a chance to scour the net to find one. I did, however, find one that I think is pretty fun. Marcuse is a company that knows swimwear. They have had some really great designs over the years. When I saw the pair I picked today, it made me do a double take! It was so, not what I expected from Marcuse. Not in a bad way but in a “WOW that’s a pretty awesome pair.”

The pair I chose today is the Marcuse Anime swim trunk. Don’t let the trunk name fool you it’s closer to a brief. I would say around a sunga size. It’s perfect for the guy who doesn’t want to show too much off. Note, this does come in a brief as well. But we wanted to feature something a bit bigger this week.

The Anime trunk comes in three different designs. My personal favorite is the blue pair (footBALLer0) with the Anime hero right on the front. The print is in the front and it’s more of a solid back. So, get ready for some looks and maybe a few stares. But this pair is super fun. It also comes with Screaming Lady and Guy Nr. 1.

This is what Marcuse says about the pair:

Each suit, in sexy and very form fitting and quick-drying Italian fabric, is available in a brief and a trunk version. For you to choose in which you look most daring or exciting.

  • Italian made fabric
  • Marcuse gold embroidery logo at the back
  • Drawstring inside waistband
  • Front lined interior
  • Composition 80% Nylon 20% Spandex

If you like really fun swimwear and something different I highly suggest you check out the Marcuse Anime trunk. I don’t think you will be disappointed and it will be a conversation starter. I’m sure many guys will be asking where you got it!

BRAND: Marcuse

PAIR: Anime Trunk

COLORS: footBALLer, Screaming Lady or Guy Nr. 1

FABRIC: 80% Nylon 20% Spandex

SIZES: X-Small – Large

COST: $59.99 AUD

It’s time for SWIMWEAR SUNDAY! This is our segment where we profile swimwear to help you guys take on the UNB 2016 Swim Brief Challenge. We profile from classic cuts to more risque cuts. We have a really cool pair today from CA-RIO-CA, but more on that in a sec.

If you’re gay you probably know all about this, if you’re straight this may be your first time hearing it. Being in the south one of the big things that happen is Memorial Day in Pensacola. It’s been going on for years. In my younger days, it was tons of guys in swim briefs as far as the eye could see. Over the years guys have moved away from the brief and worn trunks and shorts. However, many are moving back to the brief. I never personally went (well one time but it was Memorial Day after a hurricane hit and nothing was built up yet).

This leads us to the pair for today. CA-RIO-CA is making a limited edition Pensacola print in their traditional sunga and brief. If you are unfamiliar with a sunga. It’s the traditional swimwear guys wear on the beaches in brazil. It’s cut a bit bigger and doesn’t have a “designed” pouch. Rather the fabric creates it’s own pouch. A sunga would be great for a guy just ditching the shorts and wanting to venture into the world of swim briefs.

This pair is specifically designed for Pensacola Memorial day weekend. It has a really cool American flag design with Pensacola written on the back. Making it the perfect pair for Memorial day. The one thing I like it’s not a literal interpretation of the flag. It’s a new take and it’s just fun. This reminds me of a pair I had years ago that were flag inspired. I rocked the hell out of them on the beach. I would do the same with these.

I really have to say CA-RIO-CA did an amazing job on this pair. Even if you’re not going to Pensacola you can pick one of these up. But this is a pair I had to profile that is going to be one of my favorites of the season. Note, this suit is available May 1st.

It’s SWIMWEAR SUNDAY! The time of the week we celebrate amazing swimwear! One of the underrated swimwear brands on the market is WildmanT. Tim has made some amazing pairs of swim over the years. Some even featured enhancing features. While others were really cool and well designed briefs and trunks.

The official announcement is:

“Introducing Sportivo!  The sporty and masculine bikini designed for the tough guy.  It’s that little sexy black bikini every real guy should have with a hot kick of color to stand out.  Features one racing stripe on the crotch and two stripes on the right side.  It draws attention where you want it most.  Fits like a glove that you won’t want to take off.”

The pair is a bigger cut brief. It reminds me of speedos swimmers used to wear in the 80s/90s. I think the bigger cut looks good on many body types. Including beefy guys, who sometimes feel that they can’t pull off a swim brief. WildmanT, I think, is going after the guy who wouldn’t normally wear a swim brief with the Sportivo line. I say BRAVO WildmanT. It’s time we start marketing to the guys who are weary of swim briefs.

The pairs are solid with a stripe down the front and the sides. It’s not over the top but more of a classic design. It’s a great first swim brief for guys. If you jump in and go too skimpy, the swim brief may not fit well. I say try the larger ones and then go skimpier.

The pair is made out of an 80% Nylon / 20% Spandex fabric. One thing newcomers may like is it’s lined. Meaning you won’t show off your goods.  Available in a few colors, so you will be able to pick out your favorite color! Lastly, it has a drawstring waist. Which is pretty standard in swimwear.

If you are going to try your first swim brief, we think you should try the WildmanT Sportivo Bikini

BRAND: WildmanT
PAIR: Sportivo Bikini
COLORS: Black/Yellow, Black/Red, Black/Purple, Red/White, Teal/White, and Purple.
FABRIC: 80% Nylon / 20% Spandex

Swimwear Sunday is back! If you are new to UNB, we run Swimwear Sunday through out the summer. Most of the posts will feature swim briefs, but we will profile all kinds of styles. It’s fun to have just a section for swimwear.

A new pair just released by 2EROS is the Sunset swim brief. 2EROS used a really great sunset print for this swimwear. 2EROS has always had a keen eye to find the most amazing prints for swimwear. Over the years they have tried many different prints. It’s become a signature of the brand now.

2EROS says this about the pair:

The V10 fit is now a core and loved fit for 2EROS. It boast a daring low-rise fit, the iconic 2EROS pouch which celebrates the male form and accentuates your every asset. The V10 Sunset captures the moment perfectly with yellow, orange, blue, and pink hues combined with silvery silhouettes and a gold foil feature.

This print isn’t over the top. The colors aren’t super bright and shouting “Look at me.” However, that said it’s a really interesting print that I will be will draw attention. Specifically, people asking where did you buy it or what brand is it?

Should this pair be in your summer rotation? We say yes it should. I”m a firm believer you need more than one pair of swimwear for summer. What’s the fun in just one pair? Get a few pairs like this and a few other from 2EROS. We guarantee that you won’t be disappointed in their swimwear.

The 2016 games in Rio are about to kick off. There will be plenty of swimming, diving, gymnastics and more for us to binge on. What is a good way to celebrate the games? You could watch them on TV or if you’re lucky enough to attend them in person! If you can’t do the later show your support with swimwear.

Each Games they produce suits for each games. I remember when the games were here in Atlanta. I bought an official US suit with the games logo on it. I wore it a few times and then retired it. I still have it in one of my drawers. The games also inspires other brands to create limited edition suits as well. Its a great time to shop for suits!

What better way to celebrate the games than with this CA-RIO-CA Rio 2016 games suit! The Sunga is a traditional swimwear of Brazil. It’s made similar to a swim brief but a bit bigger. CA-RIO-CA says that Sunga is the Brazilian word for men’s swimwear. Sungas are made from heavier nylon and are cut to form a nearly horizontal band across the body. Take note that there is no built-in pouch. The slouch of the suit will create a pouch.

The Rio 2016 Games suit is inspired by the Rio games logo. It’s a white background with their take on the logo. I really love the design of this suit. It’s definitely one you will remember on the beach. Plus you will be showing your support for the game.

If you want to find out more about the brand. Our own Austin interviewed CA-RIO-CA a few months ago.  He got an in-depth look into the company.

It’s Swimwear Sunday! Today we are bringing you a new pair from aussieBum. This pair is not for the budget conscious swim brief wearer. It’s one on the more expensive end. Some may scoff at this pair but there are swim briefs in every possible price ranges!

The pair we are profiling is the LUXE Line Snapper. It is one of the most recent swimwear releases from aussieBum. What makes this pair so expensive? aussieBum teamed up with France’s leading boutique fabric knitting company. aussieBum says this is a game changer in the world of swimwear!

Fabric is the most important thing in swimwear/underwear. This new fabric is a 97% Polyamide, 3% Elastane blend. It’s very high end fabric. aussieBum adds “Made in Australia by our talented craftspeople, LUXE brings sophistication and elevates your personal style for any summer holiday event. Expect the very best and we guarantee you will not be disappointed”

The one thing I really love about this pair is the design. It’s very classic in styling. The brief is a simple white with black stripes. It’s also a pair that you could wear more than one season. Add in the high quality fabric, it should hold up for multiple seasons!

In the LUXE collection this is the only swim brief. There are a few more hipsters. They range from great prints to an almost solid white. It’s a really fun collection. I think that aussieBum outdid themselves in making this new range. It’s stylish and pretty awesome!

You can find the LUXE Line Snapper on the aussieBum site. If you want something classic and well made. Definitely give the new LUXE range a look through in either the brief or hipster.

Summer is in full swing! They weekends are filled with pool parties and days at the beach. You don’t want to wear the same suite to two parties. Well, some of you don’t like to wear the same suit to different events. One company you should consider is Alexander Cobb! They have a new swimwear collection for this summer!

What’s new in this collection? The SS 2016 features the following:

  • 100% European underwear and swimwear producer. We design, define and deliver
  • Padded support (foam) integrated in the products, with lift-up technology to create better pouch
  • The top material quality from a leading European manufacturer
  • Easy to dry, hold well, the materials consists of ultraviolet protected factor 50+
  • Revolution Energy – a fabric of high compression
  • Xtra Life Lycra – keep its shape over a longer period of time
  • Size range from S to XXL

One of the features is the lift up. It may sound different. They list two advantages to having the padded pouch. The first is it will “increase volume” in the front. Giving you a fuller effect on the pouch. Some guys will need this while some of our readers won’t. The second is that the padding also won’t show off everything when exiting the water. Not all guys like to show it all off. This feature will make sure you look good without showing off too much.

Alexander Cobb features briefs, trunks and swim shorts. The pair we are featuring is the Serengeti Trunk. It’s the red version of the Trunk. The white trim makes this pair pop. If red isn’t your color you can try one of the other styles. We chose the trunk because many out there want something form fitting but want something other than a brief. These I think are pretty sexy but not too small.

Find these and more at the Alexander Cobb site.

BRAND: Alexander Cobb
LINE: Trunks
STYLE: Serengeti 
COLORS: Red
FABRIC: N/A
SIZES: Small – XX-Large
COST: 39.00€

Page-2-Image-3We hope you are enjoying summer and rocking some great swimwear. There are still a few months left to Summer and if you haven’t bought your swimwear. Or if you just want some new pairs that people haven’t seen. The BCNU Utilty Wear Hero line maybe what you’re looking for in swimwear. BCNU is out of Australia and is a pretty cool company. They started in work out wear and last year brought out the first swimwear line. Now they have the Hero line.

I had the chance to talk to BCNU this past week. They have some great gear out there and I think we will see a lot more from them. The latest line is the Hero line. The Hero line has used the latest technology to make something pretty awesome. BCNU invested time and effort into meeting what their research showed.

Research indicates that 60% of Australian men do not feel comfortable wearing traditional swimwear. Most citing that the thin fabrics used, lack of reasonable hold and show through especially when coming out of the water, are the main reasons they would not wear traditional swimwear styles.

While we have plenty of guys who like to show off. If you’re new to swim briefs or want to wear them in a more family friendly area. Its important that you don’t show off everything. You don’t want to have the fabric go see through or not have support. But, you still want to look great in the swimwear. BCNU put in a lot of time and effort to create this new line. I”m seriously impressed by all the technology used in this line. We are starting to see more companies taking the technology of swimwear and underwear seriously.

So what makes this line so awesome? Here are  few reasons BCNU told us

  1. No more show through – constructed using 2 fabrics and over 7 months of design research and planning to create the perfect style to wrap around your body like a glove keeping your manhood nice and snug.
  2. Fast drying technology – Designed so that water passes through the first layer directly into the second layer which funnels out the water rapidly once you’re out of the water.
  3. SPF 100+ – Highest protection than any other swim product on the market today
  4. Cutting edge technology – using revolutionary Two Tone Double Layer Polyamide (2TDLP) construction and bonded using glue used in NASA spacesuits
  5. The advertising campaign imagery is inspired by Super Heroes. We hope this collection makes him feel heroic, invincible, daring and courageous.

Again, it’s great to see a company using some of the latest technology to make really great swimwear. The Hero line is one that is perfect starter pair for someone wanting to wear a swim brief. It will not show off or be see through. It’s fast drying and uses the latest technology in fabric and design. Lastly it will make you feel like a super hero!

You Should Own One - Speedo Solar Swim Brief

To preface this post a bit, I do prefer more of a bikini style swim brief or micro brief. My favorite swim brief is the HOM micro swim brief, which they no longer produce. The one I’m going to suggest that you should have in your collection. Is between a typical swim brief and a micro brief.

I’ll call this brief the skimpiest conservative swimsuits that is perfect to wear anywhere you please. It should be acceptable swim attire everywhere that it is acceptable for a women to wear a bikini. It’s a swim brief that pretty much gives you full frontal and rear cover. The best feature is it has narrower sides than a typical swim brief. This suit is made by Speedo and they list it as one of their best sellers. So what swim brief is it that I think everyone should own?

If you haven’t guessed by now or figured it out from the picture. The swimsuit I’m talking about is the Speedo Solar 1″ Brief. This is one case where I think a well known brand is somewhat of a benefit. With Speedo being a big swim brand, I think it helps some with acceptability. This is especially so, since swim briefs still seem to be shunned to some extent. Normally, I don’t recommend something because it is a particular brand, a trending brand, or a big brand. But doesn’t hurt in this case.

This suit is great for reducing your tan lines at least a bit more over a normal swim brief. Though the sides are more of 1 1/2″ width than the 1″ stated. They’re well made with them being the Speedo brand. It’s a great fitting swim brief and one that will stay where it belongs swimming or in the waves. This is also a great transition swim brief for those wanting to go from a full swim brief to more of a micro swim brief. So far I have 5 styles/colors of this swim brief and would not hesitate to add more. Once I finally break into a full fledged swim brief wearer at the beach. This is going to be my go to conservative swim brief.

BRAND: Speedo
LINE: Swimwear
STYLE: Solar 1″
COLORS: Cyan, Orange Crush, Navy, Atlantic Blue, US Red, White, Lava Grey and Black
FABRIC: 80% nylon, 20% lycra
SIZES: Even waist sizes in inches
COST: $36.00

tumblr_o6083mJnBR1scd3e3o1_540Who’s ready for a Liquid Lunch? We’re not talking about a brunch with Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Rather the swim Pair from Lunch called Liquid Lunch. I discovered them on Tumblr. They had some amazing pictures and I had to see what they were selling. Who is Launch and what are they about:

Lunch is about creating products to better meet the needs of men in both comfort and masculine style. Every Lunch product is the result of months of fabric testing and design refinement to produce a garment of superior comfort, premium quality and unsurpassed durability. So you can wear your Lunch product safe in the knowledge that we’ve done everything we can to make you look better nearly naked!

One reason we chose this pair is it’s a brief but it’s not too small. Its actually a larger cut than many out there. Does this mean it’s any less sexy? I say heck no. On guys sometimes a bigger cut is just as sexy as a bikini. In fact I think a larger cut can accent a guys body more than a bikini. The Liquid Lunch is a pair that I thought was super hot.

The Liquid Lunch is also an enhancing pair. It may not seem like it. The goods aren’t on display. “Designed with a contoured, supportive pouch to get you proudly out front.” Meaning it will enhance but not show off too much! There is sometimes too much of a good thing. Swimwear is where many guys want to show a little but not too much. More so than with underwear.

This pair is available in three colors. Black/White, signature Purple/White, vibrant Royal Blue/Red. The pair we are profiling is the Royal Blue/Red. The fabric is a premium lycra fabric. This means it will fit amazing and hold it’s form all day.  TheContrasting, ‘Lunch stripes’ inner lining on front contour pouch sets the pair off nicely. Lastly, the Lunch signature purple lunch loop tag on front trim detail.

Lunch is out of Australia. We are loving what they are doing and will have more from them very soon!

BRAND: Lunch
LINE: Liquid Lunch
STYLE: Swim Brief
COLORS: Black/White, signature Purple/White, vibrant Royal Blue/Red
FABRIC: Premium Lycra
SIZES: Small – XL
COST: $49.95

If you are in the States, the 4th of July is right around the corner. If you are going to spend a day out on the beach/pool, think about getting something patriotic. Some take the patriotic theme literal and others like the Patriot Swim Trunk is a more abstract take on it.

You guys may know BodyAware from their super sexy mens underwear and lingerie lines. I bet there are quite a few out there who didn’t know they made swimwear. This years swim line is pretty hot this year. We posted the video that BodyAware did to announce their swimwear. They even have a swim thong this year!

The Patriot Swim Trunk is more of a brief cut. It’s a bigger brief than we have been profiling. It could be a great first pair for any guy wanting to venture into wearing a swim brief in pubic. This is what BodyAware says about this pair: “Smooth, sleek and stunningly fresh: the newest line-up of BodyAware swim gear features a handsome swim trunk constructed of glistening medium-weight nylon/spandex, with a contrast waistband and stripe down one side. Side stripe has grommets for a bit of show-through, and comfortable waist has a hidden drawstring that is finished with metallic tabs. Inner lining in the front and a full shaped back”

The design of the Trunk is a little conservative for BodyAware. I’m used to having body accenting designs and smaller cuts. This is not a bad thing. I think there should be a mix of both in a collection when ever possible. They do put their own spin on the pair in the black and pink color combo. This pair looks great in both combinations.

Why is this great for a first time swim brief wearer? The bigger cut will make some guys feel more comfortable. The front is fully lined and you won’t be showing off any VPL, well for the most part. It has a great price and not too expensive. The design isn’t over the top and you can say you bought it for the 4th celebrations. However, if you want to go a bit bolder the black/pink is a great option too.

Make sure you go see some of the more revealing pairs in the new BodyAware line.

BRAND: BodyAware
LINE: Swimwear
STYLE: Patriot Swim Trunk
COLORS: Navy Blue or Black
FABRIC: 90% nylon/10% spandex
SIZES: S- XXL
COST: $28.95

 

B70-16-8We have profiled some great pairs. But what about you guys who want to go dare as you bare? However, you still want to leave a little to the imagination? There is a pair at N2N Bodywear that is perfect for you. It’s called the Daredevil. The one with prints.

The Daredevil is a string bikini cut. It has a pouch and full back. When we say string, we mean STRING. The front has a seamless pouch. Being a string bikini this means no draw string in the waistband. It’s simply too small to feature it. Also, the back has the N2N logo on the back.

There are two prints in this collection. There is a Malibu Blue and Havana Red. Each print has a definite tropical feel. The blue is my favorite, simply because I like blue over red. Would I wear it? Um, not right now but I know we have plenty of readers who will love this line. We have a lot who love this style. If you’re not a fan of the prints there is a solid color collection as well.

Where would you wear this pair? Well, it really depends on who you are and where you are. We have plenty that would wear it to a private pool party but never out on the beach. Then we have guys who love to show off who will definitely wear it in public and love every minute of it. The Daredevil is a lot of fun. Where ever you wear it, wear it proud and have fun.

Speaking of show offs, the pouch is unlined. Meaning there is only one layer of fabric. This can have the potential of showing off a lot more. Most swimwear, especially swim briefs have a lining. This is to prevent VPL. So take that in account when you think about this pair.

Find the Daredevil on the N2N Bodywear site for $28.

It’s Swimwear Sunday. Time for some great swimwear for the summer. The pair we are profiling today is the Garçon Model Graffiti swim brief. But don’t worry it also comes in swim shorts. This is the first time that Garçon Model has released a swim line!

Perfect for this Summer! We’d also like to offer your readers a 15% discount to celebrate this event, using code SUMMER15″

The colors they offer are navy, blue, red, yellow and black. It is available in both the brief and short. Each one has the graffiti print you see above. You could even wear them as a set. Wear the shorts till you get to the beach then remove it and spend the day in the briefs. Not all guys like to walk to the beach in just a pair of swim briefs.

Some of the features of the brief are it has a double lined front. This should prevent everything from showing through (although, we have some who prefer no lining). It is salt & Chlorine resistant. Making it perfect for the ocean or any pool. The pair also has a low rise fit with an internal draw string. This is for those guys who prefer the string not to show. The suit itself is a high definition print on a 82% Polyester / 18% Spandex blend of fabric.

The two styles are available directly from Garçon Model’s site. The brief is retailing for $75 and the shorts are $95. These two styles will definitely catch attention on the beach this summer. For a first collection I think GM did an awesome job at creating something different and fun. I look forward to more swimwear from them.

Seeing the results of our Reader Survey, we found out that you guys like Swim Thongs. They are growing in popularity with you guys so why not share one for our Swimwear Sunday. One company that really makes great swim thongs is Cocksox.

This is what Cocksox says about the pair:

Take a trip on a psychedelic adventure with these spectacular combinations of colourful geometric shapes. You’ll be the envy of the beach as you ride a new- wave of vibrant floating arrangements. Almost every colour of the rainbow is featured in this diverse print – it’s the must-have swimwear print you’ve been waiting for.

Featuring the Cocksox enhancing snug pouch design out front and butt-cheek revealing thong out the back. Made from awesome, high quality chlorine resistant Italian Lycra.

I have a swim thong by Cocksox and it’s one of the most comfortable ones around. I’m not a die hard thong guy but I really like it. Just know that swim thongs are made a bit different than underwear. They have to be made out of thicker material, similar to a swim brief. The cut is a bit bigger in the back but it’s not totally uncomfortable.
 If the thong won’t bring attention to you on the beach/pool. The print will definitely draw attention. It’s a tropical print, at least to me. But as seen through a kaleidoscope. It’s one of the more innovative prints I have seen in the last year. Plus, it’s a print you will only see at Cocksox.
Find the Kaleidoscopic Swim Thong at the Cocksox site. It retails for $38. Made out of 80% Polyester 20% Lycra®. Two important things in swimwear is this pair has UPF 50+ sun protection and High Chlorine resistance. If you want to rock a thong on the beach, make sure you go to the Cocksox site to see all the ones they offer! They include prints and solids!

PRBI-RED-FRONT2

The last few Swimwear Sunday’s we have shown some skimpy stuff. The pair we chose this week is the WildmanT Chevron Bikini. The Bikini name is a little off, because it’s more of a full brief than a bikini. Also, WildmanT is known for making swimwear and c-rings that show off everything you have!

The Chevron bikini is a bigger cut. One I personally like and think is a hot cut. It shows off enough but still keeps all the good stuff hidden. It reminds me of a classic Speedo cut. The kind I call competition cut. Competition cuts are about three inches on the side and a full back. It would be suits you would see competitive swimmers wear, before the skin suits and jammers. This pair has a bit of that old school flair.

You maybe asking about the pouch. Being WildmanT it has an ample pouch to hold everything. WildmanT makes really great gear designed for men. No matter the pair you can guarantee that its going to fit you amazing.

The Chevron Bikini is available in two colors. They are blue and red. Each one has a chevron design on the hips in white. Hence the name of the pair. The WildmanT logo is on the left hip and it has a drawstring waist that ties in the front. All these factors make this a great pair for summer.

Who should get this pair? Anyone who wants to wear a swimbrief but not show off everything. The pair is available at the WildmanT website for $45.

In less than 90 days the world’s eyes will be set on Rio de Janeiro as the Brazilian city holds the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.With more than half a million foreign tourists expected to flock to Rio and thousands likely to hit the sandy beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema it’s important to adhere to the Carioca’s beachwear etiquette… less is more!

The square cut ‘sunga’ style beach brief is the style of choice worn with a pair of flip-flops and a canga (sarong) – the Brazilian version of a beach towel.Whether playing futevolei (foot volleyball) on Copacabana beach or sipping a Caipirinha on Ipanema it’s important to do so in the Carioca way!

D.HEDRAL’s ‘sunga’ style HECTOR beach trunk, made in Italy using two finest quick-dry fabric, is available in five colours from khaki green to samba orange.

To ensure a better fit than traditional swimwear the trunks are engineered with D.HEDRAL’s patented AngleFit Technology to create a visual enhancement of the rear. Something that could come in useful when faced with the perfectly formed physiques of the sports-mad Cariocas!

The Hector sunga is available at the D.HEDRAL site for 96 Euros.

cx02pr-birds-of-paradise-1_d57cc43e-b311-4136-98ea-c86b08959b01We needed a “go bold” pair for this Swimwear Sunday. Something that is definitely not tame or will let you blend in the crowd. The pair we chose this week is the Cocksox Bird of Paradise Swim Brief. Right away you know, being Cocksox, it’s going to show off what you have!

This is their classic CX02 swim brief. It’s one of their first styles of swimwear they ever released. Its a bikini cut with the original Cocksox pouch. Personally it’s one of my favorite pouches of underwear/swimwear. It’s one of the most supportive around, it just fits amazing. The pouch will also show off everything! The pouch doesn’t have c-rings or anything to make it do what it does. It’s just the amazing pouch they created.

If the pouch didn’t scare you off, I don’t think that the print will either. The Birds of Paradise print is just as the name implies. It’s the Birds of Paradise flower with a green background. It’s a very subtle print that gives you a tropical feel without being totally cheesy. It’s masculine and floral at the same time. How often can you say that?

I think this pair would be a conversation starter on the beach. Why? Because its not a print you will see many people wearing in the states. I think you will have a lot of people asking where you got it and how can they get it. I have started to see a lot more Cocksox underwear in the states but we are lacking wearing the swimwear.

The fabric is 80% Polyester 20% Lycra. Which will be very comfortable to wear as swimwear each day. The print is an exclusive for Cocksox. This means you won’t see other companies use it. It’s also fast drying, which is a very important thing in the world of swimwear. The Birds of Paradise Swim Brief retails for $42 at the Cocksox website.

B70-16-8We know we have many readers who love to wear bare as you dare in your swimwear. To you skimpy is better! This week is a pair that has been out before but updated in the new N2N Bodywear collection. It’s the Daredevil line. The update has put prints in the line! Which makes it super fun!

The Daredevil is a string bikini design that has a minimal front and almost a full back. Many guys don’t care for a Brazilian cut or a half design. They want something with a bit more coverage in the back. It will give you the coverage you want! If you want smaller we would suggest just go full on swim thong!

The front is skimpy. There is not much there. It makes me wonder if you’re packing will it hold everything in? Something tells me knowing N2N the way that I do, it will hold everything nicely!

The two prints are red and blue. Each one is a tropical floral print. Which makes a perfect swimwear print. Prints are the rage in underwear. Its great to see them in coming the the world of swimwear. N2N has used prints in their Jammer line in the past. Now they extended it to this line. I think they are sexy as hell!

Daredevil is also not lined. Its not something I personally like. I prefer a lined suit with a little extra support. However, there are plenty of guys out there who look for this or cut out the linings. I think, it tends to show off a lot more. Which is why guys love the suits!

If you are looking for something skimpy and fun. Look no further than the N2N Bodywear Daredevil. It retails for $28.00 at the N2N Bodywear site. It is also available in solid colors for $26.00

 

IS_brf_Bulldogs_160212150316It’s Swimwear Sunday! That day when we bring you a super fun pair of swimwear. Today we go down under for a great new print from aussieBum. A company who’s motto is “We strongly recommend if you doubt yourself, wear something else”

aussieBum is one company that makes fun and interesting pairs of swimwear. One of the most favorite we have ever shot is the Leopard print in our 2015 Swimwear Guide. It was fun and not over the top! This year aussieBum has some new and fun pairs of swim. The one we are going to cover is the Shutter.

The Shutter is: “Take a peek at our new voyeuristic limited edition Icon surf men Shutter swimwear range. We’ve pushed the boundaries to see just how many will notice our cleverly designed Surf swimwear Shutter range. Let aussieBum’s new designs speak for itself when next celebrating your individuality. We strongly recommend if you doubt yourself, wear something else”

If you love the iconic life savors of Bondi Beach. You can have them on your swimwear! The front of the pair is solid black and the back is one of three prints. They are the Sharks, Jackaroo and Bulldogs.

The Shutter line is a total aussieBum pair. They are one for pushing limits and just having fun with their gear. Who else would make Aussie Lifesaver Prints on swim? I think it’s super fun and any guy who would rock the beach in these I tip my hat to them. It takes a guy with some balls to wear this pair. A swim brief is one thing but a print on your butt is another.

These three prints will definitely be a conversation starter on the beach. Its printed on 100% polyester fabric. The matching hipsters are 86% Polyester, 14% Elastane. Sold for $26.50 at the aussieBum site. Remember these are limited edition and won’t be around long. If you want one, get it now!

Welcome to the first Swimwear Sunday! This is a feature we’ll have in spring and summer to showcase some awesome swimwear. Specifically swim briefs, although we will have a few trunks and shorts. Swimwear should match your personality. Unlike underwear, this is something everyone will see. So bring out the fun side of your personality!

The first Swimwear Sunday, I really wanted something fun and to stand out. I have seen Estevez swimwear and the Beast suit really stood out. Hence, be a beast in Estevez! They also have Bear, Daddy and a few more fun suits. I highly suggest you give them a look over when choosing a new swimsuit for the summer.

One of the main reasons I chose the suit is the color scheme. It’s orange, blue and white. These colors just POP when you see them. The body is the orange and the writing and trim is blue and white. These combinations will get you noticed on the beach or pool!

The cut of the Beast is similar to a sunga. Which is a bit bigger than the traditional swim brief in the states. It’s made in Columbia, so it may have a bit of the sunga design built in. Made out of highest quality Polyester/Spandex Body and Lining. Lastly the pair has an exposed draw string on the outside. This is a feature I think really works with this pair.

Sizing of Estevez is as follows, S (30-32) / M (32-34) / L (34-36) / XL (36-38). It’s almost standard sizing for US. If you are smaller than a 30 you may find the suit is too big for you. One thing also to beware of is beware of is Velcro and other abrasive surfaces to prevent peeling. This is a good thing in general. I have had other suits get caught in velcro and ruined from the hooks of the Velcro.

If you like the Beast suit. It retails for $50 on the Estevez site. It just was released on April 1, 2016. It’s part of the 2016 swimwear collection. Don’t miss out on a great pair! Enjoy the summer i something fun!

See more great swimwear suggestions next Sunday!
