I love N2N, and this image really exemplifies why. Everything here – the running shorts, the singlet, and the brief – all have a really lightweight, semi-skimpy look to them. And, from experience, I know that N2N’s stuff feels as lightweight as it looks. N2N also has some great pouches, which you can see here as well. I’m not entirely sold on the apparent fabric for the shorts, but I would certainly be up for buying the singlet or brief! I look better in lighter colors anyway, IMO. =-)
Colorful! You do you, bro X-D
This Emporio Armani red brief looks very much like a sleek, fashion pair – big, bold waistband that still sits low on the hips, with a fabric for the rest of the brief that appears here to be less cotton-y soft and more fashion-forward (almost-)activewear. Nice pouch, too 😉
My posting queue hit zero yesterday, and although I’ve taken pictures for six or so more pairs from my collection, I don’t quite have time to write up any new reviews at the moment with how busy I currently am.
Hopefully I’ll get time back to build up a queue again soon, and then we’ll return to the regular every-other-day schedule! In the meantime, I’ll try to do some reblog reviews each night to keep things going here. =-)
Material: 79% Polyester, 17% Spandex, 4% Nylon, which I’m assuming is just describing the pouch and not the waistband+straps. A nice breathable, lightweight mesh that doesn’t feel overbearing even as it holds you compactly in place. Aesthetic: Really, really fun! In a naughty way, as per usual with FT. X-D The jet black pouch is complimented by the bold orange of the waistband and jock straps, with a little bit of metallic grey on the waistband and white text in FT’s signature bold font. Apparently it literally does glow nicely under blacklight, but I have yet to test that out. Waistband: Relatively typical of waistbands, but in line with FT’s brand, it’s a bit stronger, a bit taller, and a bit sturdier than you’d usually find on other underwear, with the implication that you’re gonna be putting this jockstrap through its paces. X-D As such, the hefty elastic of the waistband feels a little bit on the tighter side of comfortable, but still comfortable. Pouch: Holds you in as you might expect of a jockstrap, but it also stretches fairly well, both for bulging out and for “whipping it out”. The latter somewhat surprises me in the sense that it seems a lot of thought was put in to it: the pouch seems to be bordered by straps of its own, which might make you think the edges of the pouch are less stretchy than the rest of it, but they’re just as light and stretchy as the rest of the pair. Combine that with a pouch that is a bit on the narrow side, and it’s quite easy to pull your willie out of the side of the pouch, as opposed to pulling it out over the waistband (hard to do with the semi-tight waistband) or letting it our under the bottom point of the pouch (still doable when sitting on the John, though). The tag is in the pouch instead of around back, but it’s off-center, so it’s in theory out of the way; you don’t ever really notice it.
Backside/straps: Similar to the waistband, the straps are a little bit wider, tighter, and “rougher” than you might see on some other designer jockstraps – only in comparison and only slightly, though, as they’re still really rather comfy – much more comfort-minded than traditional jockstraps would have. (Also like the waistband, they’re not tight to the point of discomfort at all.) They line up with and support the undersides of your cheeks perfectly, also helping shape them just enough to really look good. Other: Shout out to @davin-w for taking the lead on organizing our crew’s trip to MAL, where I bought this. Overall: 4/5 Great for: Sexy wear, Sex wear, Activewear Good for: Everyday wear
I’ve heard of Diesel brand before, and most (all?) of what I’ve seen before had been pretty plain…. So I GOTTA ASK: WHERE DID THESE COME FROM?? The reds and blues on these briefs are amazing! It’s like liquid metal, from this angle.
The Ellen line of boxer briefs has always seemed similar to the Mossimo line from Target, with a hint of Calvin Klein – comfortably somewhere between plain and outlandishly colorful, and fairly plain cut-wise but seemingly made from very comfy material. I definitely want a pair, and this guy lounging here is certainly doing a very good job of making them look veeerrry appealing…
I like the look of these. Classic white plus a really sleek look – almost slimming, which is tough to pull off with just white. Of course I like the length, even though we can’t see here exactly how long they are, as they go down to at least the knees. The waistband (or lack thereof) sits incredibly low, which I assume is to let it look like you’re not wearing underwear even if your outerwear is already low-rise, hip-hugging stylish pants. The pouch looks really fun, too….
Material: 96% Cotton, 4% Elastane, and ooooohhhh so soft… Yes, you’ll feel that the underwear is there, but it’s not a detriment here, because it’s just that comfortable (and not uncomfortably thick either). Aesthetic: The look of the fabric combined with the plain black piping gives the pair a simple, homey look, while at the same time the print pattern of the fabric looks fun at the same time. It’s a nice balance between understated and energetic at the same time. The waistband’s look compliments this in its straightforward branding text and symbols, white on black. Waistband: Like the rest of the pair, really soft – the inside of the waistband is even “unconstrained” in the sense that the material isn’t smoothed over like the outside of the waistband is, adding a little bit of that cotton-y feel. It stretches nicely, never feeling too tight, and sits up at the waist. Pouch: Fairly reserved, but still a fairly good pouch for your package. It is contoured just enough so that it’s not strapping you down, and the fabric is forgiving enough that you can sport a fairly good bulge if you want to. The fly here is great, with both openings being fairly long and stretchy so that it’s fairly easy to go in with one hand to fetch your willie and just let it hang out with no discomfort. Backside: Comfy as the rest of the pair, and also even a bit more contoured than the front pouch is, giving some nice definition to your cheeks. Legs: The legs themselves are very nice and comfy, wrapping your upper thighs nicely. The hems are slightly tighter than the rest of the legs are, but that’s really the only minor knock against this pair, and an incredibly minor one at that, since even though the hems are slightly tighter, it’s only by a little bit, and the hem material itself is also pretty comfortable to make up for it. Other: Shout out to @ari-husky for being the one to take me on the mall shopping trip that led to purchasing this pair! Overall: 4.5/5 – for whatever reason, in my mind, I seem to compare these to the Papi Blue Force boxer, and these get a full rating more for three main reasons: the fabric material is softer, it’s not quite as tight, and it has a great fly. So, despite this being from yuppie brand like AE, I think they’ve really hit the mark with their classic boxer briefs. Great for: Loungewear, Everyday wear, Sleepwear Good for: NA
