Andrew Christian – Almost Naked Freedom Jock w/ Show-It – Lime – Small

101

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, and unsurprisingly feels very soft and cotton-y while also having a nice bit of stretch – but more on that later. Very lightweight and breathable.
Aesthetic: Lime green main fabric with a deep purple hem and a rainbow waistband can only be summed up by saying “Candy Pop!”. Bright with just the right of amount of intentional jarring, this pair absolutely demands to be looked at. And once you do look, you notice the lack of straps or anything on the back at all, which can absolutely catch you off-guard if you’re not used to seeing sling underwear (a.k.a. strapless jocks, “socks”, or however you want to categorize them).
Waistband: Softer and stretchier than some other waistbands, but otherwise pretty typical. Two-part tag in the back; I don’t recall exactly what it felt like when new, but by now it’s all quite soft (and the hanging part of the tag on my pair is uniformly frayed now).
Pouch: This pair is listed as both “Almost Naked” and “Show-It”, which I generally feel like are two non-compatible styles of AC’s design inventory, as the Show-It necessitates an inner C-ring that conflicts with the free-movement, feels-line-wearing-nothing idea behind Almost Naked, but here I can at least see when they’re both listed. Ahead of the inner C-ring, the pouch itself is fairly large and loose, which does fit that Almost Naked ideology. Still, the Show-It tech limits movement and definitely feels like it’s there, so it’s definitely not Almost Naked. The other big issue that I personally have with this pair is a common worry with slings that, for me, has been exacerbated by sizing, and that’s under-scrotum cut-in. In order for slings to stay on during the day, they usually have to have some level of grip on your anatomy, and sometimes that grip can be too strong, particularly under your junk, which is obviously undesired. You can see in the second picture above that the purple lower hem has come way up high between my thighs, and that’s not even where the underside of the internal C-ring is (see below). My balls have been pulled up incredibly far, giving that cut-in feeling below, meaning I can’t wear this pair for very long at all, and I think part of the reason that the bottom hem of this pair has come up so high is that the pair has stretched horizontally a fair amount to fit around my hips – if I had a larger size, the vertical compression in response to the horizontal stretch wouldn’t be nearly as much, and this pair would probably be a lot more comfortable. That’s why I’m selling this pair, so hopefully someone slimmer than me can really make this pair shine.

Backside/Legs: NA
Overall: 2.5/5 – I mostly rate this on the lower side simply for poor fit, which I don’t normally do, but I’m also not as much a fan of AC’s Show-It design either. It does have its place, though! (Which I may feature in a future review.) In the meantime, I do think this pair is easily a 4/5 or 4.5/5 on looks alone, so that’s on the fun site.

Excavating The Bin

I moved about three years ago, and when doing so, about half of my underwear collection was transported in a big plastic tub that has lived in my closet with very little interaction since. Well, with my 100th review coming up and wanting to expand my Sales offerings, I decided to really dig in to my underwear past!

Featured center foreground in the pic above are the rainbow of Mossimo boxer briefs that I got at Target years ago as the very beginnings of my underwear collection. Dead center are some of the pairs that I think border on lingerie, some from Envy, some from Gregg Homme, and the orange one from (I believe) CheapUndies of all places! And of course, several piles of different styles all around, most quite colorful. =-)

The still-bagged set of underwear mid-top left are other pairs I like and was just too lazy to pull out for this pic. X-D The two bags upper-right, though, are underwear that I had previously (before moving) set aside as pairs I could potentially sell off, so expect those to be added to my Sales page over the next month or so!

Andrew Christian – Retro Mesh Locker Room Jock – Black – Small

093

Material: 90% Polyamide, 10% Spandex, which isn’t the stretchiest combination around, but it’s definitely very soft and very breathable! The breathability is both from the lightness of the fabric itself and from the obvious fact that this is a mesh pair, in the style of athletic pennies.
Aesthetic: I don’t want to say this is “suave”, because that definitely doesn’t feel right, but the blue here definitely gives a “cool” feel to compliment the slightly edgy feel of the black mesh. It’s not super loud, but it is intriguing and maybe slightly alluring.
Waistband: Pretty typical for AC waistbands! Both in terms of stiffness, stretchiness, and placement above your hips.
Pouch: While this is advertised as an “Almost Naked” pair, there actually is internal structure in this pouch in the Show-It vein with an internal C-ring creating a separate pouch area for your junk. The material and hemming on this feature, though, are stretchy to the point that it doesn’t forcibly push your junk into similar positions to true Show-It pairs, and more gently promotes your package instead.

Backside/Straps: The straps here are very soft and comfy! You might almost think they’re bordering on flimsy with how soft and fairly stretchy they are, but they’re definitely a reliable construction. For this whole area of the pair, there’s more blue than black, giving an almost space-y feel to their pair – and you are looking right at a full moon, after all! I say this pair does a great job of framing your cheeks.
Legs: Not much to say here! Definitely comfortable, soft edges here.
Overall: 4/5 – Jock briefs are an interesting hybrid style that can be somewhat unpopular, but I really like this pair! To the point that I had initially thought of putting this pair up for sale, but while preparing the Sales page and trying to write reviews for each pair, I decided I liked it too much to sell. X-D Not a pair that has a lot of opportunities for wear, if I’m being honest, but it looks and feels damn good.

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!

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.

Recent orders

First: I have two reviews almost ready to put online, one of which will be posted this weekend! Not sure what my schedule will be going forward, but I’m looking forward to this, and hope to write a review at least weekly.

Next: I have to admit that I’ve treated myself a bit over the past two or three months in terms of purchasing new pairs. X-D Here’s a preview of them all, at least one pair per order:

For the record, the brands shown above are:
(Chinese brand, faux Garcon Model/Marco Marco?)
Blanc [2 not pictured]
Andrew Christian
Sheath
AOElement
(Chinese brand)
VeniMasee [1 not pictured]
Breedwell
WangJiang
Separatec [3 not pictured]
Ergowear
AlphaBox [1 not pictured]

It’s ambitious, but I’m hoping to write reviews for most or all of these pairs! Take care, everyone. =-)

I feel I was very luck to find pics of two very different guys wearing apparently the same AC camo brief! Or, maybe – the exact pattern of the camo is different, but IDK if that means these are from entirely different production runs, or if there was simply no attempt made to keep the exact pattern consistent.

Anyway, this is a fairly basic AC brief as far as cut goes. This brief is no longer available from the AC site (of course), but from what I can tell on other sites that had previously sold it and not taken the info down, I believe these briefs use the “Show-It” design (as opposed to the “Almost Naked” design) – though I can’t find what the fabric is.

Still, both of these men are wearing the pair very well, and it look comfy enough!

The first and most important thing I’ll say about this pic is that DIS B!TCH NEEDS to learn how to PROPERLY take sexy glam selfies! The lighting here is AWFUL and really hides how fun the print is on this pair. Seriously, look this pair up if you get the chance, because this bedroom selfie does NOT do it justice at all.

Now, that said, this is a really fun print design on the briefs. I believe it’s the “Flash City” MASSIVE brief, which unfortunately is no longer available on the Andrew Christian website. It’s an incredibly colorful print, so I’m really impressed that this guy found a shirt that seems to match the pair really well! AC does often make shirt and tank tops and such to match their underwear, but the MASSIVE line actually isn’t one where AC has made matching tops.

I can’t tell if this is an Almost Naked pouch or not… The MASSIVE pairs currently available on AC’s website aren’t consistent in describing their pouches, and they even look like the pouches might be in different styles.

Andrew Christian – Project Love Mesh Brief – Pride Splash Print (Rainbow) – M

064

Material: 86% Nylon, 14% Spandex, which is the “self fabric” – I assume the mesh itself – and 93% Cotton, 7% Spandex for the “contrast fabric” – I assume the hems/piping/waistband. The mesh certainly feels a bit on the synthetic side, but it’s still rather soft and smooth. I’ve mentioned before that I’m usually 50/50 on mesh; with mesh like on this pair, the problem that can often occur is that the holes – which are great for breathability, though the material here is nice enough that I don’t think breathability would be an issue – sometimes let some of your skin bulge through in little bumps that then rub against the inside of whatever pants you’re wearing. This can happen no matter how tight the underwear is, and can range from mildly annoying to downright uncomfortable depending on the mesh style and pants material. For this brief, I can occasionally feel a little bit of the bumpiness, but overall this pair avoids that problem – so that’s good mesh to me!
Aesthetic: Very fun! And, with the suggestion of intentionally splattered paint, a hit of “let’s get messy” wink wink. The red “contrast fabric” gives a nice visual structure for the colorful pattern, and the fact that the background color is white add to the light, fun look of the pair.
Waistband: Fairly typical as far as waistbands go; nice medium height that sits somewhere between the waist and hips. It definitely feels a bit more solid than the rest of the pair, and maybe a hair less soft, but it’s got a healthy stretch. The tag is in the back and it’s a semi-hard material that’s curled on me fairly quickly, so it’s moderately uncomfortable.
Pouch: Really nice! It’s not advertised as Almost Naked, and I’d believe it since it does feel like the rounded shape is fairly intentionally done, but I think it’s fairly similar since it’s a nice amount of room and moves fairly well – basically like the Basix brief but with a tad bit more room and freedom of movement.
Backside: Good full coverage and the pattern keeps the expanse looking interesting! Not too tight or too loose, and has a bit of a dip to separate the cheeks.
Legs: Like the Basix or the Curve brief, nothing of note to say here!
Other: This particular pair is (surprise surprise) no longer available; the closest thing is the Pride Heart Print which is the exact same design overall but has a slightly tweaked mix of fabrics.
Overall: 4/5 – really fun an rather comfortable! Nothing to push it over the top, but unless you don’t like any kind of mesh (or aren’t a briefs fan) then you really should consider this pair.
Great for: NA
Good for: Activewear, Everyday wear, Sexy wear

Here’s an “outfit” where the top and bottom are definitely NOT from the same maker! That sweater is far, far away from this kinds of things you’d find on Andrew Christian’s production line! Well, maybe if it’s a crop-top-y sweater, that might be a similarity. But that’s about it!

I can kinda see what the intent of this outfit was, but… I’m not a huge fan of the idea to begin with and I don’t think it was pulled off incredibly well. Each half of the outfit individually looks good against the background, but the two halves just don’t mesh very well IMO. There needs to be some sort of synergy, and it’s just kinda lacking at the moment. And yes, I did schedule this post after yesterday’s for the contrast in outfit construction.

I think the underwear here is the Show-It Retro Pop Brief? The front pouch certainly does with the three seams and tight round shaping, but it’s missing the hip bands I’m used to seeing on the Retro Pop Briefs. Maybe it’s a Happy Brief? But those use Almost Naked instead of Show-It… IDK. I do like the relatively full coverage.
