Separatec – Cotton Functional Fly Boxer Briefs – Maroon/Olive/Blue stripes – M

073

Material: 96% Cotton, 4% Spandex, which generally comes across as very soft (and is) but the fabric on these pairs is somewhat thin and sleek. Very good stretch. The website says these are “designed for daily wear” and I think they pretty well nailed it. You know it’s underwear, and it’s comfortable underwear.
Aesthetic: The striping on the pairs, combined with the darker waistband and leg openings, provides a nice bit of visual appeal, more to look at that a solid plain color, but done in a very reserved way. Going with the “designed for daily wear” thing, I can absolutely see these as a pair you would be wearing under your pants at your desk at work, or maybe on a lazy weekend when you’re trying to impress absolutely no one but still feel slightly stylish for yourself. That all said, the choice to pipe the “functional fly” part of the pair (we’ll get to that in a bit) with the darker fabric of the waistband & leg hems gives and impressive visual draw, with the shape almost insinuating a slimming effect or natural curves on its own.
Waistband: Pretty typical as waistbands go; good stretch and soft enough while also staying on fairly well. Wears at or above the hips.
Pouch: Back when I introduced Saxx and Sheath to my blog, I had the impression that they were relatively unique in the men’s underwear market at putting lots of thought and specialized architecture into making their pouches as fancy as some women’s bras were – lift and separate! In the two years since, I’ve now seen a ton of brands that really cater to the male anatomy, and Separatec is one of several brands to advertise a “dual pouch” design, intended for keeping your boys comfy. For Separatec, this means that your balls are taken care of in a nice, rounded protrusion pouch at the bottom of the pair, which doesn’t have any extra structure inside to separate your balls from your thighs, but the shape of this pouch means any extra structure isn’t needed, as it holds your balls forward quite nicely. Your willie slides through a small hole in the inner layer of fabric to fill down into the main pouch, and I mean down – the pouch is incredibly generous below, but it fairly slim against your body up top. This, along with the fact that the fly openings don’t provide a ton of side-to-side stretch on their own, actually means that the “functional fly” isn’t all that functional – it would take some force to hold the hems open enough to let your dick through, especially if you’re still soft, due to the fact that these openings are also somewhat high up the pair. No need to fret, though – the main pouch is actually open at the bottom, and the pouch is so shapely itself that the amount of fabric there makes is very easy to just slip your willie out from below with the pouch fabric bunched up and out of the way for you to do whatever you want. So, in essence, this pair does have a fairly functional fly – just with the general Separatec pouch design and not with two openings specifically made for this pair.

Backside: Fairly plain, but the stripes make it nice to look at nonetheless, especially with a fairly good under-cheek shape. You can kinda see the “tag” that’s printed on the inside of the back, but unlike other print-on “tags”, this one never feels sticky or sweat-inducing.
Legs: Very nice! I like the length, and the leg openings themselves are quite soft, comfy, and stretchy while basically always staying in place. They may feel just a hair tight at times, but this is rare and barely noticeable.
Overall: 4.5/5 – these are amazing boxer briefs, and I think the 3-pack was so incredibly worth it. Especially living in a world where WFH is the norm, these are great everyday pairs – just as was apparently intended. Although the visuals aren’t the sexiest around, a full pouch on these boys certainly will draw some attention – and Separatec makes both trunks and briefs with these pouches as well, so those will likely look even sexier when full. Not a full 5/5 only because the intended “functional fly” isn’t, and also because the fabric does have a bit of thickness/weight to it. X-D

Sukrew – U Sprint – White – S

072

Material: 80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane on the main paneling, and 90% Polyamide, 10% Elastane on the side paneling, which is really interesting information to be given! I hugely appreciate it, especially with how many pairs I’ve reviewed with very clearly multiple types of fabric but no separate descriptions. Anyway, both types of fabric here are clearly synthetic, but they’re soft and lightweight enough that you never get that somewhat clammy, cloying, occasionally stiff feeling that synthetic materials can give. The side paneling in particular can stretch to give a mesh-like, slightly-see-through effect, though it’s not a huge effect.
Aesthetic: I would describe the aesthetic of this pair as “athletic and playful”. The contrast between the blue and white panels just gives me the impression of motion, as if the wearer is very swift, maybe like a running or cycling uniform. The angled, off-kilter print of the brand name in a thin, stylized font of the blue panels, to me, adds that spontaneous aspect to the overall aesthetic.
Waistband: Very nice! A little on the tall side, which is good for what this pair wants to be, as it helps grip you. It’s soft and stretchy enough to fit among other waistbands, though it’s definitely a synthetic waistband, as it’s not quite as soft or natural-feeling as many of the others I’ve recently reviewed. The tag in back is quite interesting, as there’s both a construction of sorts on the back of the waistband itself as well as a hang-down tag. Both of these are very soft – and both feel like different materials from the rest of the pair and from each other – though the size of the hang-down tag may make it occasionally fold over itself if you’re moving around weirdly enough.
Pouch: None! This pair comes from Sukrew’s (now-discontinued) U line of underwear, which all feature relatively flat fronts with an opening for your junk to hang out freely. Like I mentioned with the AussieBum Orbit, this then means we need to look at the positioning, tightness, and comfort of the hole itself. And like with the Orbit trunks, the U Sprint hits all three aspects amazingly well. I can’t really say much different about this pair than I did with the Orbit, with the small comment about the different fabric and, particularly, that the opening on the U Sprint is a thin, slightly more rigid edge than the hem-covered opening of the Orbit. Also, this isn’t exactly a comment about the opening itself, but since the U Sprint has much longer legs than the Orbit, this pair will never subject you to scrotum-on-thigh skin contact, which is a nice plus.
Backside: Nothing to incredibly write home about, as it’s mostly just a big expanse of white, but the fabric hugs your skin in a way that the pair gives you a nice visual shape, especially with how it highlights the curve between each cheek and its respective thigh. The material is also thin enough that you can easily see the hang-down tag, so it is a small visual distraction, but I’d write that off as nothing to worry about. And even as the back is mostly just that expanse of white, the blue side paneling provides a nice framing.
Legs: I love the length on these legs! As I’ve mentioned in the past, my thighs are thick enough that short legs tend to either slide up or have the hems roll over themselves; long legs avoid these problems. The material is relatively low-friction, so the legs slide past each other very nicely as you walk or run. The synthetic nature of the fabric can come up every once in a while as a very very low-grade itch, but it’s rare and only really noticeable if you aren’t moving around. The only other minor criticism with the legs is the the hems of the leg opening are slightly less stretchy than the rest of the pair, which can make them feel somewhat tight at times.
Overall: 4.5/5 – I absolutely love this pair. The only reason I’m not giving it a full 5/5 is that the synthetic nature of the fabric is somewhat noticeable in a few situations; otherwise, this is about as perfect as you can get with an open front pair of underwear.

Here we have what appears to be another Cellblock13 jockstrap. I’ve reviewed a CB13 jockstrap before, and I own a CB13 brief (but have yet to wear it, IDK why) so it’s a brand I’m interesting in interacting with more, I just need to get around to it…

I really like the pouch on this jockstrap, because it looks really nicely shaped! Of course, it could just be the model too, or dependent on how he’s wearing his willie (looks like it’s a downward direction here, which always makes a pouch look nicely filled) but either way, it’s a nice look.

What I don’t like about this pair is the waistband. Holy hell, this waistband is FAR too busy! It’s distracting! And it’s not even that tall of a waistband, so I’m not entirely sure how they managed to fit so much text onto it.

Wanjiang – Hipsters w/ open back – Orange – M

071

Material: 89% Rayon, 11% Spandex, and while it’s clearly not cotton, it has a very cotton-like softness to it, which I really like, on top of the fact that it’s lightweight, stretchy, and almost cool to the touch.
Aesthetic: Bold and attention-getting! This orange isn’t a common color to being with, and the black-vs-orange contrast is played up so well with this pair, from the thin orange line tracing the middle of the waistband to the black lining around the pouch to the hint of black hems you can see under the cheeks from the back view or the hems on the hips. The shiny snap visible at the top of the pouch is also a very intriguing and show-off-y touch. Everything is loud, everything pops; and the shape is visually great too, with a relatively short profile top to bottom and a nice square-cut look (which wears more like two halves of a V on me!)
Waistband: Just a hair on the tall side, and very soft, so I like it a lot. It’s got a good stretch, and a good thickness to it too – it’s going to weather some good tugs. 😉 The pair sits nicely on your hips while also coming a bit low in front. The tag in back is soft and largely unnoticeable.
Pouch: Okay, there are three different components to this “pouch”, so let’s go through all of them. The base layer of the pair has an open front, which has comfy enough edges, but would be a little on the large side if taken on its own. It’s not alone, though, as built in to the pair is a nice, comfy, elastic C-strap similar to those found with the Mckillop slings I had reviewed a long time ago, although this one is attached to the top of the pouch area instead of the bottom. This C-strap is quite comfortable, thankfully, and does a great job of lifting and forwarding your junk. Lastly, then, is the flap-like pouch itself, a small but very nicely shaped lens of fabric that attaches to the main pair with two snaps at the top and bottom of the pouch. It does a great job of cupping your junk, and the fabric as mentioned before feels wonderful.

Backside: Another incredibly fun and sexy aspect to this pair is the slit opening in the back, allowing a teasing hint of each cheek to show, assuming you’re already out of your regular pants. If your pants are on, the relatively small size of the hole means you probably won’t be subjecting your backside to the pants fabric, so the only thing you might feel is that slight hint of a draft back there, which honestly is probably a bit of a plus. Even though these hipsters aren’t incredibly tall, the backside provides basically full coverage, save for the slit of course. If the slit wasn’t enough to look at already, you can see a hint of some hems just under the cheeks, which gives the pair that added extra little bit of visual variety to make it quite attractive to look at, in my opinion!
Legs: There are barely any legs here to speak of with how short these hipsters are, but the leg openings are quite nice. The black fabric is the same as the orange above it – soft, stretchy, lightweight, and breathable – while the fact that this “hem” has some good vertical height to it means that the legs don’t really ride or roll up very much as all, which is a great touch.
Other: Wanjiang has apparently recently rebranded as “Karen Space”, which is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. Also, like many Asian brands, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious title for each different cut that they manke, which is frustrating for a blogger like me. X-D
Overall: 5/5 – It feels weird to me to declare something a “favorite” with less than two full days of wear, but I think this pair is amazing. It’s quite comfy, there’s enough coverage and ease of motion to use as an everyday pair, while also being visually appealing and also having just enough extra access to take into the bedroom too. The only small downside is that it takes an extra minute or two to put on in the morning, as you have to take the pouch off and then on again in order to easily thread yourself into the C-ring, but that’s a fairly minor concern IMO.

AussieBum – Orbit Trunk – Red – M

070

Material: 92% Cotton, 8% Elastane, which is probably one of the best mixes out there if you want a cotton-y soft feeling that’s also lightweight and nicely stretchy! I certainly enjoy it quite a lot. =-)
Aesthetic: Pretty straightforward here, just a solid red with a nice black-and-white waistband featuring big, bold lettering. So, simple but effective!
Waistband: Good height, good stretch, basically what you’d expect of a nice comfortable waistband. As this is an AussieBum pair, the tag in the back is huge – almost a panel more than a tag – but it’s pretty soft and mostly (by feel at least) blends into the waistband. The corners of the tag panel can occasionally feel a bit pointy/scratchy, but depending on your pair, how you take care of it, and how you wear it, this may or may ot be an issue.
Pouch: None! It’s an open hole that lets your junk – all of it – hand out freely. In this case, the big question mark is the positioning, tightness, and edge-feel of the hole itself. On all three accounts, this pair absolutely excels! The hold here may look a bit small on the pair when not being worn, but it stretches very nicely to let your junk through and then snugs right up around your junk without feeling tight at all; the soft hem around the hole helps too. This is in contrast to the AC FUKR boxer where the hole in front is absolutely gigantic. Sure, it’s fun to show off some skin, but this lets the pair move around relative to your junk and provides no support at all, and as I said in that review, it allows for excess skin-on-skin contact, which isn’t fun either. AussieBum totally outdid AC here.
Backside: Nothing super notable back here, but definitely a nicely hugging backside overall. The diagonal hems provide a little bit of shape to the pair, and there’s a nice curve with some separation between the legs.
Legs: This is the one spot where I think this pair doesn’t quite hit the mark. There’s nothing really wrong with the stretch of the legs themselves or how the hems are – they’re fine, not too tight or too loose – but as I’ve mention in a few other reviews, I just prefer having a little bit of extra length on my trunk legs if I can get it because my huge thighs generally encourage legs to roll up a bit if they aren’t long enough, and of course rolling up adds a bit of tightness. For this pair, too, having the legs roll up a bit decreases the length of fabric that your junk can rest on, meaning that if they roll up enough, you might get some skin-on-skin contact between the scrotum and thighs too, which is one of the things I like to avoid. Still, I don’t think this draws away too much from the pair overall.
Overall: 4.5/5 – This is definitely one of my favorite pairs, and it’s such a shame that AussieBum doesn’t make these any more. I just wish the legs were a bit longer; then this pair would be perfect!

Xmas “gifts”/Happy Nude Year posts?

Putting the warning out here now: the next five reviews I will post include two pairs with open fronts, one pair with a removable pouch, and two with creative extra-access pouches. What does this mean? Well, dick.

In general with this blog, I try to keep things fairly professional and focus on the pairs, only showing off any anatomy when it’s unavoidable or it’s part of showing off a design feature of the pair in question, and when that happens I try to not be too hard, i.e. avoiding a porn-y appearance. (There will be one half-mast pic for the removable pouch pair and I’m trying to show off a built-in C-strap, so it’s a bit unavoidable… And for the record, I’m in no way against porn! Totally love it, actually [stop SISEA!] It’s just not the point of this blog.)

So yes, there will be dick. You have been warned!

I wish the outside tag showing on this jockstrap was more legible, because this is honestly a kinda cute little pair! Sort of like what you would expect of a totally non-kinky office worker trying to branch out with a sexy jockstrap. X-D Or maybe not even trying to be sexy but trying to be “sporty”, because this certainly has a somewhat “buttoned-up” look to it with the reserved horizontal red-white-and-blue stripes across the pouch! The solid red, almost shiny waistband also gives off an air of someone who’s less interested in physical activity (or even “looking” for physical activity) and more trying to balance their own desire to have the comfort & freedom of a jockstrap with their desire to fit in with climbing the ladder. That is, it’s more a pair that is intended to give the wearer a personal confidence boost and to actually show off. Still, I think it definitely looks good on its own! Hard to go wrong with a nice, reserved red-white-and-blue design!

Sukrew – Full V Brief – Yellow & Black – S

069

Material: 80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and it definitely feels a bit synthetic. Not synthetic to the point of being entirely uncomfortable, but still probably situational. Quite lightweight, though, which is nice (though the lightweight nature is a bit offset by how tight the pair is – which I think is by design, but also probably partially due to this being a small instead of a medium).
Aesthetic: Impact! The yellow and black color palette is almost always a quite striking choice, and this pair is no exception. Also the paneling itself and layout of these colors certainly helps accentuate the look.
Waistband: Honestly quite nice! Good height, definitely not too short, and relatively soft, even as most of the pair is a bit tighter/stiffer. A soft and somewhat large tag hangs on the inside of the front of the waistband, which could in theory not work well with your junk in the same area, but not only is the tag very soft, but the nature of the pouch means that your junk is kept low enough that the tag will never bother them.
Pouch: Sukrew was known for their pouches, in two specific ways: the Full line, with pouches that are highly shaped to make your junk look rather impressive, and the U line, with no pouch at all (yes, letting your junk hang free – I’ll cover this line later!) This is a Full pair, meaing it sports the large, forward-facing pouch is present here, and it definitely holds your junk in such a way as to really make you look plumped up even when fully soft! (I think the black bulge of this pair somewhat diminishes the apparent size, not helped by the fact I personally was quite soft here, but you can also see the Sukrew reblog review I did the other day.) Only two small downsides to this for me: one, the only option is to wear your willie downward, which isn’t generally the way I like to hang, and two, the somewhat synthetic nature of the fabric means that your willie and sack are down against each other in a pouch that can make things ever so slightly sticky. Putting all your junk in one pouch is probably why the Full line does such a good job of making your apparent size seem bigger, and the shape does a great job of keeping your junk away from your thighs, but does come at the slight cost of the skin-on-skin contact between your parts themselves.
Backside/Straps: These are a little on the tight side – more in the sense of holding their shape very well (i.e. being somewhat non-elastic), not in the sense of it cutting in to you in any way, as they actually fit very comfortably. And even while holding their shape well, they’re also sufficiently very soft. I like the width of these, but as you can see from the photo, they straps do sometimes roll over themselves; it’s not enough to really be that noticeable, though.
Other: I’ve surprised myself by realizing that this is the first “jock brief” I’ve ever truly reviewed! The only other time I’ve directly mentioned jock briefs before was to mention that I owned the AC jock brief shared in a reblog review. I need to fix that. X-D Anyway, on most jockstraps, I like to mention whether they past the “squat test” with letting the junk out below the pouch. Just to be clear, jock briefs do NOT have this benefit.
Overall: 3/5 – a damn sexy and overall relatively comfortable pair, though just a hair tight overall, and while I love the pouch, I have grown quite used to having my willie and my sack either directly separate or at least allowed to move independently, which isn’t possible with the Full pouch here. I definitely like having this in my collection, though it’s an occasion pair and not an everyday pair for me – but I can see other people quite enjoying it!

Andrew Christian – MASSIVE Animal Attraction Brief – Animal Attraction print – M

068

Material: 87% Polyester, 13% Spandex, this fabric feels like it can’t decide if it wants to be stretchy or not. This is probably a difference between the black base material and the golden overlay on the outside, with the shiny gold probably the limiting factor. The black base material is actually quite see-through if you hold the pair up, meaning it’s rather lightweight, but you can’t really tell while wearing the pair.
Aesthetic: Flashy and exotic! I mean, there’s not much else to say about it – though I will point out that the Greek-style patterning on the waistband is rather cool too. For much of this review, be comparing this pair to the Justin Case Zebra brief I reviewed a long time ago, for obvious aesthetic reasons.
Waistband: Pretty typical for waistbands, especially fashion waistbands. By that, I meant it’s a nice, fairly soft elastic material, though maybe not quite as stretchy as some other waistbands. It won’t cut in to you by any means, and you won’t notice it much, but it might be slightly less forgiving in the sizing that the JC Zebra brief does. The tag in the back is somewhat large, and while it’s not stiff, it’s not super-soft either. Fashion-forward as this pair is, the waistband sits on your hips.
Pouch: This is quite a pouch! Which I guess is expected of the MASSIVE line. It’s got an incredible shape, and the relative stiffness of the material means this shape will hold no matter what you do! On one hand, it’s an excellent visual, very good at promoting your junk whether you’re standing or sitting, and fun to grab; on the other hand, you are forced to wear your willie downward, and I think it might get a big problematic if you were to get a boner.
Backside: Not too much to say here! The material definitely makes it feel like it’s holding your cheeks in. It does provide a tad bit more coverage than the Zebra brief does.
Legs: Despite the fabric overall being a tad bit on the stiff side, I thin the leg openings on this pair are a hair more forgiving that those on the Zebra briefs, though it’s definitely not an incredibly large difference.
Overall: 3/5 – all in all, there are places where the JC Zebra brief is better, and places where this AC Animal Attraction brief is better, basically putting these on balance with each other from what I think is an objective standpoint. From a subjective standpoint, one of the things I personally care about the most is how well it supports your junk, and while the JC Zebra brief has softer and more forgiving fabric, the pouch itself is still pretty flat and thus not as good for general wear, IMO, even if the pair feels more obvious; the legs are also (somewhat surprisingly) more forgiving, which is great for my thighs. Also, this AC pair is simply flashier too, so those together are why I’m giving this pair the 3/5 to just barely edge out the 2.5/5 of the Zebra brief.
