Just a guy sharing his love for underwear of all kinds!
This here is the super-colorful Apex Brief from Marco Marco – which, sadly, does not seem to be available any more, although Marco Marco does have their Flux line of underwear that features the exact same paneling pattern as Apex and the exact same fabric makeup, (82% Polyester, 18% Spandex,) just with much lower color variety in any single pair. It’s a bit of a shame, because I love just how colorful these are, notwithstanding how much the neon of these colors pops so much! But at least the Flux line is quite nice too. Also, I can’t find any pictures of the backside of the Apex brief, but the Flux briefs all have this open window on the backside just beneath the waistband, so that’s fun!
I do really love the paneling on this pair. The block colors give a really strong appearance while helping everything “pop” well. The paneling on the pouch in particular provides some visual enhancement to the already-impressive pouch shape, which is great too.
Material: 92% Modal, 8% Elastane, which is a small shift toward Elastane versus the 3.21 Boxer Brief. The fabric is a little bit cooler to the touch than the 3.21, and also has lower friction. Sheath also chose to go thinner this time, making the pair all the more lightweight and breathable. Aesthetic: Definitely a bit more stylish and sporty than the 3.21! The 3.21 almost looks like a winter pair for warmth, or at least a “lazy weekend indoors” pair; the 4.0 looks like what a moderately athletic office worker might wear on the day to day in spring or fall. For this color of the 4.0 in particular, I think the white waistband gives a nice pop and, against the solid purple base of the pair, almost looks like a bit of a fabric belt, more so than other contrasting-waistband looks I’ve seen. Worth noting that the 4.0 also has options that are not solid-color affairs, which is not something you got with the 3.21. Waistband: Definitely soft and very stretchy! This is probably the most noticeable contrast to the 3.21, which had the fabric of the main pair wrapped all the way around the waistband. It mad the 3.21’s waistband incredibly soft and comfy, but also a little bulky; the 4.0 sacrifices almost all of the bulk while still being incredibly comfy as traditional waistbands go. Good, typical height; sits at or above the hips – I’m not sure if the rise was intended to be different between the 3.21 and the 4.0, but at least personally, the 4.0 feels more natural sitting a bit higher. Pouch: I went into all the details of Sheath’s dual pouch design last time, so I won’t rehash them here. All I’ll say is that they’ve still got one of the best dual-pouch designs in the business! Cradles your balls in a separate pocket, and the fly is incredibly easy for you to use. I think the lighter fabric of the 4.0 also makes the pouch a little more prominent than the 3.21 pouch was – not that the 3.21 didn’t let you show off a bit – but the 4.0 somewhat lets your balls factor into the overall look of your package while the 3.21 mostly only let your willie show.
Backside: Not too much to say here that I didn’t say for the 3.21, although I think the more-athletically-minded design of the 4.0 versus the 3.21 factors in to making the backside of the 4.0 a bit more taut and shapely, somewhere between the 3.21 and the Saxx pair I compared the 3.21 to. There is a “tag” printed on the inside of the backside here, but it fades very quickly; you won’t notice it at all. Legs: Again, the fabric of the 4.0 feels a tad bit tighter than that of the 3.21, which here is a good thing as I noted the slight feeling of looseness before. Overall: 5/5 – I gave the 3.21 a 4.5/5 if only because they were a bit expensive, and while the price for the 4.0 is about the same (unless you catch it on sale – which they are as I’m writing this post) the 4.0 is, I think, just a sliver better than the 3.21, so it gets to join the 5/5 club.

Material: 76% Nylon, 24% Spandex, and quite comfy! I believe this only describes the pouch material and the top of the back, as most of the pair is actually mesh of some sort. The pouch material is relatively low-friction and hugs your junk quite nicely. Aesthetic: Loud and somewhat athletic-looking, honestly I think the best description for this look is “DTF”. It’s very in-your-face and show-off-y, with the general impression that this pair is very durable and ready for action of some sort. There’s something about the red/white/black combo that just scream virility, at least to me… (And Ihaveseveralotherreviewsin thesameveinas that, sooooyeah.) Along with the blocky brand name plastered across the waistband, this pair if bold, brash, and breed-ready. Waistband: Soft and stretchy enough, but a hair tighter than some other pairs I’ve reviewed recently; nothing uncomfortable by any means, just enough that I notice the difference with the elastic. It’s also a hair taller than some of the other waistbands I’ve seen recently, which I like; it’s built to stay on and in place through whatever you do. There is a tag in the back of the waistband, but it’s printed on and you won’t notice it. Pouch: As mentioned with the material above, the pouch hugs your junk very nicely! It’s not really a shaped pouch at all, but between its stretchiness and how well is wraps around you, you’re almost always going to get a good bulge from it. It’s not overly tight in any way, and it does a good job of keeping your junk off of your thighs. Also, the U-Fly here is great! There’s enough overlap in the two panels of fabric that you’re not just going to slip out easily, but the width of the opening and the stretch of the hems makes it a breeze to whip your willie out for going to the bathroom (or other uses). Backside: Now this is interesting! Not many briefs can do a “look at me” ass regardless of how much cake you have like this one can! Not only is the two-panel design (with a hint of the hip strap panels showing too) already an eye-catching design choice, the colors then accentuate the paneling, and finally the entire lower panel is just mesh! Now, I’ve mentioned in the past the mesh can be hit or miss because a bad mesh can make it feel like your skin is “bubbling” through the mesh holes, but this pair suffers no such ill – the mesh is fantastic. It certainly makes the pair quite breathable! The mesh also leads to the appearance of a dark strap down your cheek – obviously it’s just a lighting thing, but I think it’s a fun, almost-naughty look. Legs: Nothing of note for the leg openings here! Just a generally nice fit. Other: While there is a Moto Jock on the Breedwell website, I got this Moto brief through CheapUndies, which seems to be the only place to get them at the moment. (Maybe it’s a similar agreement to the McKillop pouch?) Overall: 5/5 – this pair is comfy, very functional, and just plain fun. Definitely recommend it, especially if you’re more of the wild type!

I’m not sure if this counts as a onesie or a singlet, but either way it’s unfortunately no longer available on Rufskin’s website. I love all the looks that Rufskin puts out, but they’re one of the biggest offenders for everything they make being “limited time” releases, which is a real shame considering how amazing their stuff looks – and this piece is no exception!
The stripe across the middle is one of the two most obvious aspects of this full-body piece. To my eye, it almost looks like a leather/neoprene strap that you would find on a harness, giving this piece a hint of a club/BSDM look to it – which I’m very impressed with, considering the all-white color scheme here. It’s also quite high up on the body, which I think makes the model look a bit taller than he would otherwise by tricking your brain as to exactly where his waist is. (That’s not normally what horizontal stripes do, but that’s the vibe I get here.)
The crotch panel design is… interesting, to say the least! And the fabric of this thing seems both soft and stretchy while still hugging quite close to the body, to the point that you can see this model’s junk and nipples quite clearly!
I’m curious as to what this looks like from the back, but it’s fairly conservative from the front, anatomy visibility notwithstanding of course. X-D Would be interesting to see if I could find this or something similar around somewhere! I’m certainly overdue for providing reviews of full-body underwear and such on my own.
Material: 96% Cotton, 4% Spandex, which seems to be a common theme among many of my recently reviewed pairs! The actual make of this fabric is a bit weightier (and a bit softer?) than recent comparisons – which, as a traditional “whitey tighty”, makes perfect sense and is executed quite well. Aesthetic: I’ve spoken about the range of sexiness levels for whitey tighties multipletimesbefore, and these fall somewhere in the middle I guess. There’s nothing to accentuate the white-ness of this pair, so you either like it or you don’t. Compared specifically to the CK briefs I reviewed a while back, I think this pair looks a little more polished and professional, doing so while sacrificing a bit of the visual “pop” that CK brought with the colored waistband. And, to be entirely fair, Old Navy also has alternate colorations of this style that are white with a grey waistband, which I think are unambiguously a bit better to look at than the CK briefs from before. Even though the pair I’m wearing here is an inherited pair, (i.e. the amount of wear is similar,) the cut and fabric are still tighter than what CK brought. Waistband: Overall, very comfy typical waistband, which in this case sits about at the waist. Pouch: Whitey tighties are known for not having very good pouches in general, and I think this is the one area where the CK brief excels just a bit more – there really isn’t much of a pouch here at all. I’m not sure if it’s just due to the slightly tighter fabric, or if there’s an actual difference in the cut causing this front to be a bit flatter. You can clearly see a single little pleat right where your balls are on this pair, so there definitely is some effort to button things up here. And even though I say there isn’t much of a pouch here, it thankfully doesn’t go the way of actually smushing your junk against you uncomfortably in any way. There’s still a relatively nice cupping feeling and freedom of movement, plus the fabric is so soft, it feels pretty good. Backside: Very comfy, and as far as tighty-whities go, actually not un-flattering at all! While still covering essentially all of your cheeks, it doesn’t look over-stretched or loose at all, which is a very difficult line to toe! Definitely better than CK briefs before. Legs: Not much to say about the leg openings on these briefs. Not too loose, nor cutting in to your torso or thighs either. Other: Shout out to @twoguysin202 on Tumblr, who I frequently chat with (they’ve followed my blog almost since the beginning) and sent me this pair for Christmas! Always fun wearing someone else’s undies. ;-D Overall: 4/5 – all in all, a great pair! Comfy, doesn’t look bad at all, (unless you hate the whitey tighty look in general,) very easy pair to just throw on for any given day. Great for: Everyday wear, Sleepwear Good for: Loungewear
Material: 95% Modal, 5% Spandex, making it very lightweight and stretchable, and overall just feeling like it’s floating on you even as it hugs fairly close to the body, in whatever position you want to be in. Aesthetic: Solid purple with a fancy, almost Greek-like pattern on the waistband (reminiscent of Marco Marco or Garcon Model) definitely gives it a “royal” vibe. Beyond that, the prominence of the pouch with mesh on the lower half is unmistakable, and certainly eye-catching. Waistband: Unlike the other twoVeni Masse pairs, the waistband here is not nearly as soft, and it’s a bit stiffer, almost like a more industrial default companies use for elastic-ish waistbands. You will feel the upper edge of this waistband against your own sides from time to time while wearing the pair. Also, the lower sew line on the waistband (where it connects to the main fabric) is not quite as elastic as the rest of the waistband; you won’t notice it while simply wearing the pair, but it will feel a bit tighter along that line in particular when pulling the pair on or off. Pouch: Impressive, to say the least! This pair is noticeably different than the other two Veni Masse pairs in that this pouch is all just one panel of fabric, (well, two with the very breathable mesh around your balls, but you get what I mean,) with no fly and officially no “dual pouch” design. That said, with how contoured and shaped this pouch is, it almost might as well be a dual pouch design, as it maintains the lower pouch for your balls (which still functions perfectly well) and adds such a large, definitely pouch for your willie that it’s very unlikely that your junk moves around from one sub-pouch to the other. The fabric’s stretchiness combined with just how much is there also means that the upper prominent pouch can move quite a bit while still keeping hold of your willie, so it offer much, much more freedom of movement and position than the other two Veni Masse pairs do. Backside: This pair doesn’t just suggest a slight separation between your cheeks, but actually comes up a bit higher than the other two pairs do (depending on your body position, it may give the slightest hint of a thong feeling) to provide some space between your cheeks. Visually, a nice touch, though if you don’t like fabric coming up your crack, then maybe it’s not for you. Otherwise, there isn’t visually much to discuss, though solid purple is certainly more enjoyable to look at than a greyscale solid color, and the hint of hems you see between the legs is nice too. Legs: Like the first Veni Masse pair I reviewed, the legs are a bit short, but the leg openings are nicely stretchy and the fabric itself if quite comfortable. Unlike the first pair, though, you can see that these leg hems have an incredible habit of rolling up on themselves, thanks to my big thighs. Thankfully, as mentioned already, the fabric is stretchy and soft, so this rolling doesn’t provide noticeable discomfort, which over has happened with other pairs where the leg openings roll up. Overall: 3.5/5 – I would rank these as a 4 or 4.5 were it not for the waistband, which is a disappointment compared to the rest of the pair and compared to the waistbands on the other two Veni Masse pairs. Still, I generally enjoy wearing this pair, and I think it’s probably quite a good option as long as you don’t move too much over the course of the day in a way that the motion makes you notice the waistband.

I took advantage of AussieBum’s Boxing Day sale, and the order came in on Wednesday! Here’s a preview of what I got:
Four really fun pairs of underwear and – yes – some grey trackies, for reasons.
I think I’m going to review all five of these AussieBum pairs, (two are already complete and in my queue,) and even though I haven’t hit everything shown/mentioned in the previous “new order” post, I think I may take a short break to reorganize everything on the back end. My underwear shelves in my room are an absolute disorganized mess, and I haven’t decided yet which pairs I want to start selling or how my sales page is going to be set up. I’ll also probably try to update my index posts and tag system here on the blog too.
I’ll still do reblog reviews on my normal Tues/Thur/Sat schedule, though! So no worries, you’ll still get me talking about underwear and showing off attractive pictures. =-)
Despite how prominent the logo is on these briefs, I honestly have no clue what this brand is! The closest I can find by just Googling “ZK underwear” is ZukuLife, but nowhere am I seeing anything labeled as ZukuLife that has this panda-like logo… Which is sad, because I really want to verify what kind of pair this is and potentially buy some! One of my readers has contacted me and found the real brand – “Haus Zuk” from Germany! Thank you!
Camo is almost always a fun print to wear, and these briefs use it surprisingly well! The bold black and white striping on the waistband is a nice contrast to the camo of the main fabric, and even with the camo print, this model’s bulge is still quite obvious! I also appreciate how this guy is a bit more of an “average Joe” in build and really seems to own his otter-bear-ish body, because he look amazing in this pair.
Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, and it almost feels a bit denser than normal cotton, you almost can’t tell the spandex is there (which would, in theory, make the fabric feel a bit more breathable and light). Still very soft, and overall a great feeling against the skin if you’re used to and prefer underwear that feels like something (as opposed to the “feels like wearing nothing at all” crowd). Aesthetic: I’ve talked about the solid grey look before, so I won’t say much more here! Just a nice, very casual pair, with just enough visual variety from the waistband to not be utterly boring. (The textured, mesh-like ball pouch is a little distracting, but it’s not the easiest thing to notice right off the bat.) Waistband: Fairly normal as waistbands go! Nicely soft and stretchy, with a fairly normal height to it too. One thing that’s clear in my pictures, though, is that I was completely unable to get a picture with the hips of the waistband staying properly un-rolled-down. The waistband is soft enough that this isn’t an issue at all from a comfort standpoint, but it’s not the most attractive look around. Pouch: The dual- or triple-pouch here is almost exactly the same as the previous Veni Masse pair, with three main differences. First, and most obvious, is the fabric itself, which is a bit thicker and softer, which means a more normal amount of fabric friction and a bit less stretch as well. Neither of these are bad things, as the bit more friction comes with the softer, more cotton-y feel, so that’s expected if you like that kind of underwear, and the lower amount of stretch also makes sense for the fabric. Honestly, this pair’s fabric makes the pair feel more like it’s for a day of relaxing and staying at home, or at least one where comfort is more important than mobility; it holds your junk in place and in soft comfort, and that’s that. The other differences between this pouch and that from the previous pair come lower down, as this pouch’s sleeve does not have a lower opening, so between that and the less stretch it means that this pair is intended to have your willie angled up an nothing else; also, the ball pouch – while looking kinda mesh-like from a distance, is definitely solid. It’s a different fabric than the rest of the pair, and cradles your balls nicely, but it is not nearly as breathable as the previous pair. Backside: Solid grey backside, nothing particularly special, but still a nice casual look! (Maybe a little more than casual with a bit of under-cheek showing like in my picture above… Eeep.) Also separates the cheeks like the previous Veni Masse pair did, and the tag is the same too. Legs: These leg openings grip your legs a bit more than those with the modal fabric, but the general shape, fit, and comfort are the same as before. Overall: 3.5/5 – Despite all the similarities between this pair and the one before, especially the amazing dual- or triple-pouch design, the difference the fabric type makes is huge. Now, I’m one to generally enjoy the soft, cotton-y, wear-for-a-day-at-your-desk pairs of underwear, and this is definitely a nice pair in that sense, but there are others that do it better, and even though the previous Veni Masse is made for a more active and show-off-y lifestyle than I’m used to, I think I still like that pair better than this one. To each their own, though! Great for: Everyday wear Good for: Loungewear, Sleepwear
Material: 88% Modal, 12% Spandex, at least as stated on the tag, as it’s advertised online as a 90/10 blend instead. Very sporty, lightweight, low-friction feel, and has a nice stretch too. Not sure what either the mesh or the waistband fabric makeup is, though. Aesthetic: Not sure how to describe it, aside from maybe “active” or “flashy”? The mesh paneling around the pouch certainly gives the sporty look, and there are so many panels to see right up front, it just generally looks impressive. There’s a bit of a visual disconnect between the main body of the pair and the waistband itself with the red-white-and-blue stripes that don’t match anything else, but it’s honestly not that big of a distraction IMO. Waistband: As sport and kinda-synthetic as the main fabric is, the waistband is nicely soft and more like a more solid cotton-based waistband. It has a good stretch to it, and sits above the hips, at or below the waist.
Pouch: This is another dual-pouch pair of underwear, with a nice rounded area of the mesh below for your balls and a nice hole in the first inner layer of mesh for your willie to go through. Interestingly, though, I might almost count this as a triple-pouch pair of underwear, because the “front pouch” actually is made of TWO layers of fabric constructed like a sleeve to hold your willie in place. The fabric is not so tight that you have to use the sleeve, either – and even though there is an opening at the top of the sleeve, I wouldn’t recommend using it as a functional fly, because that opening doesn’t stretch downward enough to make it very useful for any activity; that is, as long as your willie is in the sleeve, it’s going to be pointed straight up. I personally like wearing my willie straight upward, all other things being equal, so I love that part of the design, but as you can see below, it is possible to not use the sleeve and let yourself hang to the side or downward as well (though the downward opening is so far down, it might not be very comfortable trying to aim forward for whatever reason) – and the fabric is giving enough that it’s incredibly to switch between sleeved and side-hanging whenever you want.
Backside: Solid color backside is nothing to write home about, but it is a comfortable backside, and it does provide some separation between your cheeks, which looks kinda nice. There’s a tag on the inside of the back, but it’s very soft, completely unnoticeable to me. Legs: The legs are a little on the short side, especially when worn on my thighs, (almost makes the pair look more like a trunk than like boxer briefs,) but they’re definitely comfy enough! The legs are just as stretchy as the rest of the fabric, and surprisingly they don’t roll up very much. Other: Like a bunch of Asian-band underwear, there doesn’t seem to be official names for any of their cuts, so the “name” shown above is just the best description I could come up with, especially to differentiate it from other Veni Masse pairs I’ll be reviewing next. (And, if anyone is tired of seeing my dick flopping about, this is the last time for a while, sorry!) Overall: 5/5 – I think this is a really great pair! Really breathable, really easy-going, and I love the unique dual- (or triple-)pouch design. The amount of individual fabric panels involved, especially with some being mesh, gives the pair an almost-gear-like look to it, too, so if your partner is into that sort of thing, bonus! Great for: Activewear Good for: Loungewear, Everyday wear, Sexy wear(?)
