Blanc – Standard Fit Briefs – Lilac – Medium

089

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, soft enough with a very nice stretch!
Aesthetic: Blanc, as a line, goes for simplicity, and they honestly do it pretty darn well! The solid lilac on this pair is unique enough to give the pair a lot of visual interest even while being a single, solid color, the waistband color complimenting it nicely, and the stylized “Blanc” logo on the waistband gives a touch of fancy to the pair.
Waistband: Honestly quite similar to the main fabric in terms of softness and stretchiness, so that’s an interesting aspect.
Pouch: Being a “standard fit” brief, there’s nothing particularly exciting about the pouch here. By the nature of the fabric, it’ll conform to your natural shape fairly well, so that’s nice. Allows for good movement while also holding you in place when not moving.
Backside: The view of the backside is easily disrupted by the fact that the print-on case information on the inside is clearly seen on the outside as well, but at least with that “tag” it’s nice in how you don’t feel it at all, even if it’s really easy to see. The lower edges of the cheeks are designed to be a little high, so it’s not complete full-coverage – you’ll probably feel those hems across the lower rounds of your cheeks from time to time. (It’s worth noting that many – but not all – briefs on the Blanc site are listed as “slim fit”, with the suggestion to buy a size up. I don’t recall if these lilac briefs had that disclaimer.)
Legs: Fairly comfy, nothing above or below what you would expect for some nice, basic briefs.
Overall: 3.5/5 – as basic, featureless briefs go, these are really quite nice! Perfect for those grab-and-go mornings, especially if you want to feel just a bit special with your everyday pairs. Only reason I’m not giving them a 4 is because of the cross-cheek hem being clearly felt from time to time.
Great for: Everyday wear

Here’s an official photo from Gruff Pup of the black striped Quarterback jockstrap! As somewhat suggested by the name, it has a *very* traditional jockstrap design, with a really tall waistband and that telltale textured fabric for the pouch. If you go on Gruff Pup’s site, you’ll also see that the straps of the Quarterback jockstrap are a bit sturdier than seen on fashion/fetish jockstraps, though they’re not quite as wide as you sometimes see with these traditional jockstraps.

All in all, I think this is a great jockstrap. This particular pair has that red-white-black coloring that I’ve talked about for giving that pure sexual “ready to go” energy, and the sturdy construction of the pair backs that sentiment up as well! Just a great jock to see someone wearing.

Mckillop – Max Bulge Modal Long John – Red – Medium

088

Material: 94% Modal, 6% Spandex, which is incredibly soft and stretchy! Interestingly, it feels simultaneously breathable and fairly solid.
Aesthetic: I would call these long johns incredibly sleek! The fabric itself doesn’t give a reflective, synthetic look at all, but the single color for the entire pair on top of how form-fitting it is and how it doesn’t go all the way down to the ankle all together gives the look of fluidity and suaveness (and not leaving much to the imagination). The black waistband with the brand splayed across the front then gives just enough visual contrast to add a strong-looking edge to the pair.
Waistband: Fairly typical for a waistband; has a nice height to it and great elasticity. Sit low in general, and apparently particularly low on me! That crack in back isn’t supposed to be showing; I guess I’m just bigger than what was intended for this pair.
Pouch: It’s called “Max Bulge” for a reason! The pouch here is highly contoured, and is designed with the idea that you’ll be wearing a C-ring of some sort to help your junk come forward into the pouch. (If you order it from a professional provider, it’ll likely come with one of Mckillop’s elastic C-ring bands as well for this purpose.) And even without wearing a C-ring yourself, it’s still an incredibly comfy pouch that brings your forward and up a nice amount. I’ve noticed in the past that long johns have a bad track record of not doing a good job of supporting your junk; either the pouch isn’t designed that well to begin with, or it’s designed well but the support quickly is pulled away with wear (i.e. the bottom of the pouch drops down a bit as your legs move around). This pair has neither of those problems, so I really think that’s an accomplishment!
Backside: Nothing particularly special back here; has some shape to it, at least.
Legs: Really comfy in my opinion! If you’ve got big legs like me, the fabric will stretch a fair amount and may leave you with pressure lines on your legs at the end of the day, but it’s not something you notice a ton while wearing them. Of course, I love the length.
Other: If you look closely, you’ll see that the stitching of this pair strongly outlines the shape of a normal brief – to the point that it feels somewhat like wearing a brief with legs more than wearing a long john. This is particularly true because this mid-pair stitching is a bit less forgiving stretch-wise than the rest of the pair is! It’s the only part of the pair that feels a bit tight to me. In addition to how low the waistband sits on me, this reinforces the importance of getting the correct size for you when buying these!
Overall: 4.5/5 – the only reason these aren’t getting a 5 is because of how tight that brief-ish stitching is compared to the rest of the pair. If I was taking sizing issue into account, it would come down to a 4/5 or 3.5/5 too, but that’s not really a knock against the pair itself. For what it’s worth, while I’m selling this pair, I’m planning on buying another at the Large size in hopes of getting that better fit!

Andrew Christian – Tighty Whitey Punked V-Clipse Boxer – Orange – Medium

087

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, and about what you would expect – very soft, nicely stretchy, lightweight in not incredibly breathable. Honestly pretty similar to the ///Crew Brief/// from the other day, as well as many other more traditionally-made AC underwear.
Aesthetic: The entire “Tighty Whitey Punked” line is all about high contrast colors while having the general profile of traditional tighty whities. The latter point works much better for Punked Briefs – not as much for a Boxer like this, though! And that’s even before you look around back to see the “V-Clipse” aspect of it. (Eclipse, “mooning”, get it?) The orange with cyan piping here almost gives this particular pair of pop-y ’80s vibe, which I think is really fun.
Waistband: Pretty typical as waistbands go, though maybe a tad softer and stretchier than some others.
Pouch: While I love the look of the fly on here, it’s actually completely fake, so that’s not quite so fun. Inside the pouch, though, is AC’s “Show-It” tech with a built-in C-ring, which ostensibly help get your junk up and forward, away from your legs. In practice, this pair can accomplish that well, but this issue here is that the C-ring is so high in the pair, you really need to hike your balls up to get it inside the ring and into the front pouch, which is a tad uncomfortable. The effect is impressive, though! And even if you don’t have the lower edge of the C-ring pull up tightly under your junk, it’s easy enough to just let your willie sit in the front pouch – though wearing the pair this way somewhat defeats the point of the Show-It design.

Backside: I honestly really love the unique shape of the opening back here! This needs to be done more often, as it frames your cheeks really well.
Legs: Barely any length on these, making the pair basically a square cut. While the leg openings are comfortable enough in construction, they’re a little tight on me.
Overall: 3/5 – I would rate these much higher if the built-in C-ring wasn’t so high, as that makes the pair hard for me to wear, especially compared against some of my other AC Show-It pairs. Still, it’s an incredible look, and if your personal anatomy is a bit different than mine, these could work really well!

The weather’s getting warmer here in the Northern Hemisphere, so let’s take a look at some swimwear, shall we? =-D

This here is a Nasty Pig “Label Bikini”, which is obviously utterly plastered with the Nasty Pig name all over it, so there’s no confusion as to the brand. That is, unless someone looking at it hasn’t heard of the brand before and just thinks it’s a description of you!

The drawstring, though white, acts as a splash of color for an honestly somewhat chaotic, muddy-ish design. I like the more traditional application of a drawstring, where the string necessarily comes out of the pair on the visible side of the waistband, but there’s a recent trend for brands to make their drawstrings exit on the inside of the waistband, which I personally think is just entirely counterproductive. I guess people think it’s too suggestive to have something flopping around in front of your crotch? …okay, yes that’s entirely understandable if stated only like that. But I don’t think anyone is going to confuse drawstrings for a dick. I think some guys think it’s rude to have *anything* that draws peoples’ attention to your crotch. But yeah, my personal opinion is that it’s impossible to tighten the waistband properly if your hands have to be inside the pair to do the tying!

Ah well. Speaking of waistbands, this pair has theirs entirely hidden in the main material, as it’s supposedly a 1-inch tall waistband, but there’s clearly no distinction between waistband and the rest of the pair here. I kind like that look on swim briefs (e.g. a Speedo-ish look) but it’s not as good on swim squarecuts, trunks, or shorts though.

Jack Adams – Crew Brief – Lime – Medium

086

Material: 92% Cotton, 8% Polyester, and so soft and lightweight!
Aesthetic: Loud but not fully in-your-face, it’s just a very fun pop of lime green color with the strong, obvious lines provided by the high-contrast black piping. The doulbe-line “railroad tracks” piping at the top corners of the fly on any Crew pairs are a really intriguing design choice that gives an athletic look to the pair, and the choice to make the right tracks white to contrast the rest of the piping just adds to the eye-catching nature of the design. The big, bold Jack Adams logo panel front-and-center on the waistband further adds to the confident, statement-making effect of the pair.
Waistband: Nice and stretchy with some good height to it!
Pouch: This is a fun one! There’s some nice but not overt contouring on both panels of the pouch/fly, such that you’re always going to get a fairly nice (but never really intensely defined) shape whether you like wearing your willie up or down. The Crew brief sports a U-fly design, which is generally very fun, though on this pair both openings are fairly far down your crotch, which makes it a tiny bit more work to whip your willie out if it’s naturally behind the inner panel to begin with. You might also think that the contouring would make it hard to pull your boy out for whatever reason, but the opening is not hemmed, letting the fabric stretch as much as it likes, and the fabric goes so far down that there’s plenty of fabric there, meaning it’s quite easy to manipulate honestly. (You can see how much kinda folded up there in the picture below; *warning* for shaft.) This also means that you don’t have to hold the fly open at all while you’re using it, which is a huge plus. The only real downside here is that you can’t let your willie sit in between the inner and outer openings of the fly, because once you’re past the inner opening, there’s very little fabric up front to hold you back any more.

Backside: Clearly not a full-coverage pair, almost closer to a bikini than a regular brief! Of course, I have a fairly big backside myself, so it might work better for more toned guys. Plain-colored backsides can be unflattering, especially for full-coverage pairs, but the green-vs-black of this pair is still a nice contrast, and with the leg openings coming up over the cheeks themselves, you get more visual contrast than just a full expanse of lime. There is a finicky tag hanging down inside, and it’s probably the worst part of the pair, but that’s not saying much and can be dealt with easily enough if you wanted to do so.
Legs: A little on the tight side, especially going from the hips down front toward the crotch, but overall still fairly comfy (and probably just a sizing issue, as the pair overall is kinda tight anyway).
Overall: 4.5/5 – the only reason I’m not going a full 5 is because this pair, for me, is a bit small. I think I may try buying this again in a bigger size, because it’s pretty great!

Seven7 – Boxer Briefs – multiple colors – Medium//Large

085

Material: 93% Cotton, 7% Elastane, overall has a somewhat “flat” feel to it but it still soft and stretchy enough to be perfectly comfortable for everyday wear. Not super breathable, but that doesn’t feel like a big knock against it – this definitely feels like a “office underwear” situation where you wouldn’t pick this pair because you weren’t going to be in a situation where breathability would be an issue anyway.
Aesthetic: Generally very simple; it of course depends on exactly which pair you pick as some have various prints, but even those have a color palette that’s more muted and reserved to begin with – again, a very sort of “office underwear” vibe to them.
Waistband: Fairly typical as waistbands go! Not quite as tall as some others, which I think might be trying to play into that “low profile” fashion trend, but it’s a small effect here.
Pouch: Basically none. X-D There’s just enough extra fabric on the two panels that make up the front so that it doesn’t feel constraining, but there’s absolutely no effort made to provide the pair a good shape to hold your junk. It’s fine for me since I like wearing my willie pointing up, but I can somewhat imagine that this isn’t a great pair for guys who like to point downward, though.
Backside: Surprisingly unlike the relatively flat front, this pair actually shows off a really nice curve for your backside! The plaid on this particular pair also gives some visual interest, so the flat-color pairs might be a bit less to look at, but would still come up under your cheeks quite nicely. There’s a print-on tag at the top of the inside of the back panel, and it’s impossible to notice while wearing – it almost looks like precision-dyed fabric as opposed to something that was printed on!
Legs: Fairly comfy! I’d personally like them to be a tad bit longer, but no real complaints.

Other: I’ve chosen to focus on the plaid pair with the pictures here, which is a Large, but the other four I have are a tan speckled pattern (Medium), light tan plain (Medium), slate (Large), and violet (Medium).
Overall: 3/5 – I went back and forth between 3 or something higher for this pair, because there’s really nothing wrong with it aside from a marginally flat pouch, and since it’s not really meant as a show-off-y pair (while still having a great backside) I didn’t want to count that against the pair too much. That said, it’s a very plain pair, so I ultimately settled on the 3 because I can’t see it being a pair people will every look forward to wearing at all. Still, it’s a great pair for everyday office wear and the like, so definitely worth having in your collection for those days you wake up feeling a little blah and just want something simple to pull on and get the day started. X-D Seven7 is a jeans brand before an underwear brand, so the practicality-minded nature of the pairs makes total sense in that context.

I’m not sure exactly what pair this is from AussieBum, but based on the mid-length legs and the red waistband, I’m going to guess it’s a Journey pair? I can’t find this exact pair on their website currently, but the Journey options seem closest. My one reservation is that the Journey trunks are 90% Nylon 10% Elastane, and the pair this guy is wearing looks like it should have cotton component…. But to be fair, that’s really hard to say from just a picture.

Anyway, the pouch here very much follows what’s on the Journey pairs, so that’s a pretty good match. Nice contour to it for comfort and promotion, and (at least on this guy) the legs seem long enough to prevent much thigh contact as well. Bigger thighs often translate to legs covering less vertical distance, so I don’t know if these trunks would work well for me, especially since I have a history of having that thigh-shortening effect with AussieBums, but I’d definitely be willing to try this pair out! Especially because it’s the “casual grey” I love, and the guy here is filling them out quite well.

Sales are live!

After a lot of planning and not a lot of opportunities to work on it, I now have a basic sales gallery for all the undies I’m selling! Everything is set save for finishing my “Quick Reviews” page, which gives quick little statements for everything I haven’t done a full review of yet. Should be finished at the end of the day, and I’ll have plenty more pairs to add over the next week or two, too!

So do you want some of my underwear? Go check it all out!

Been a while since I reviewed anything from Bruno Menswear, so let’s fix that!

This picture really intrigued me because it wasn’t clear what was going on with the shorts… Well, they’re mesh! Just like the crop top is! (The yellow thong inside the shorts in this image is not sold as part of this outfit.) This outfit is the “Coordinado” crop top and short (sold separately) from the LOVEPRIDE collection (see: the rainbow stripes on the crop top’s shoulder straps).

This Coordinado looks quite nice overall! My one concern here is material – anything heavy on mesh can feel very synthetic, so there’s a chance this doesn’t feel great to wear, especially the crop top. I would love to try it, though! Especially since the mesh of the shorts makes it easy to show off whatever you’re wearing underneath – if anything ;3
