Medium

106

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, but while this blend is common, they way it’s been done here is definitely not. The fabric here feels somewhat synthetic despite being mostly cotton, and feels oddly slick and tight, and also incredibly thin. In fact, everything about these pairs just feels a bit tight, even with the Large, which is a bit odd and a tad restrictive to me.
Aesthetic: Ho boy, these briefs are the embodiment of “loud and proud”! While I’ve talked multiple times about the red-white-black color combination before, it’s possible to get similar effects with any strong, saturated color in place of the red, and that’s exactly what’s happened here. The racing stripes going vertically down the front absolutely draw your eye to the curve of the pouch – these pairs are entirely about having that “in your face” look, it absolutely demands to be noticed.
Waistband: Very nicely stretchy though maybe a tad bit sturdier than normal, and a bit taller than some other waistbands, but otherwise pretty typical. What’s not typical here is the fact that the tags are actually affixed to the left hip instead of the small of the back – and it absolutely works.

Pouch: The pouch has a relatively nice shape to it, though nothing incredibly promoting. As with the fabric in general, the pouch does feel a bit on the tight side even with the larger pair, which has its pros and cons. On one hand, having the pair stretch tightly over your junk can make your bulge look more impressive, and having everything strapped down can be great for athletic activity too; on the other hand, being constantly squeezed can also just be generally uncomfortable. Still, almost always looks great, no matter how you try positioning your junk. The construction of the pair makes it such that wearing your willie up or willie down doesn’t actually seem to have much effect on the presentation of your bulge when looking at it from the front, which is an interesting consequence of the fabric pattern and stitching. (The positioning is clearer when viewed from the side, of course.)

Backside: Plainest part of the pairs, but the strong color and big brand print across the waistband make it look nice enough. Not quite full coverage, and the tightness of the pair lets the lower part of your cheeks separate a bit as the fabric comes up between them – nowhere near the point of a wedgie, of course; only just enough to have that visual representation.
Legs: As with much of the pair, the leg openings feel a bit tight and restrictive, though even with the Medium for me, it’s not to the extent of being deal-breaking by any means – it’s just a bit tight, and probably not something you’d want to wear for an extended amount of time.
Overall: 3/5 – I’d say these are an absolute 5/5 for looks, but only a passable 25 for comfort. Excellent pairs to wear to a club or maybe to the gym, but probably not something I’d recommend wearing for a full day unless you definitely like having that tighter feel for your undies.

Under Pockets – boxer briefs – black – Large

105

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, which is something we’ve seen before often, and for good reason – usually comes across as a lightweight, soft, stretchy bland. The material for this particular pair doesn’t feel quite as breathable as some other pairs, but that’s maybe splitting hairs, it’s still pretty nice.
Aesthetic: Pretty utilitarian with the all-black look and the plain white statement of the brand name along the waistband. The white pocket openings fit into that utilitarian aesthetic as well with the squared-off appearance.
Waistband: Very nicely stretchy, and a bit taller than some other waistbands, but otherwise pretty typical.
Pouch: Under Pockets relies on a very traditional boxer design with the vertical fly and not a ton of shape. However, there is a bit of a cupped shape at the bottom of the fly structure, so that’s kinda nice. As with a lot of traditional boxer briefs, though, the lower “corners” of the pouch area often do not come up against the torso, especially after general movement, so you may often get a bit of an open, unsupported feeling from this pair.
Backside: Pretty plain, as it’s also all black, which has the added effect that any shaping the backside does do would be lost visually. Like many mass-produced boxer briefs, though, there isn’t much shaping going on back here anyway. There is, of course, a little bit of visual intrigue with the white pocket openings providing a little bit of visual punch near your hips, so that’s nice I guess.
Legs: Okay, love these legs. =-)
Other: The major gimmick of this brand is, of course, the built-in pockets on the sides of the underwear. I won’t talk about whether this is a practical, useful idea or not, but what I will say is that these pockets have been executed wonderfully. They’re not bulky in any way, and yet are fairly sizeable, and the extra fabric is still nicely lightweight and soft. The pockets are worked into the pair by having vertical panels of fabric on each side of the pair, and the extra seams are entirely unnoticeable. Honestly, I’d like to see more brands realize that features on the sides of a pair can offer design flexibility that features in front or in back may not be as good for.
Overall: 3.5/5 – Honestly, a pretty solid pair overall, pockets or not! The potential lack of support between the legs is the only minor issue, as that can be largely avoided if you’re not moving around much (or if you’re moving around quite a lot and the ease of motion is a good thing).

Good Devil – GD1018 C-String – White Leopard – One Size

103

Material: 100% Polyester, which doesn’t necessarily sound great as it’s all synthetic, but it’s honestly done quite well! Not listed here is the fact that a huge component of this underwear is a set of stiff wires that provide the main support (for the pair, not for your junk).
Aesthetic: Skimpy and frisky! The fact that it’s just a pouch means you’re revealing about as much skin as possible, and the white leopard print adds to the “wild side” look all the more. Then, if you do look around back, you can usually see the “string” wire peeking out from the top of your cheeks, which further compounds the feeling of naughty playfulness.
Pouch: I’ll talk just about the pouch itself here, and the wire “string” support in the next section. The pouch here is cool to the touch, (which is almost always very nice,) lightweight, and quite breathable for being 100% synthetic. It also has a great shape to it, though it does include a little bit too much space on the lower end of the pouch before it narrows between your legs. (You can see the looseness of the lower pouch in the second photo above.) This isn’t too much of an issue, and might be for the better for breathability’s sake, but it’s a bit odd. Overall, though, very nice pouch.
String: With no waistband and no straps, all pouch underwear needs some way of actually staying on your person. Usually this is accomplished by having the ring of the main opening either have a drawstring to narrow it around the base of your junk or snap in place there. Instead, Good Devil here has designed an entirely rigid framework that covers your crotch with a single thin wire slipping between your thighs and butt cheeks in such a way that the front and back of the wires – in theory – grip your torso from both sides to stay in place. In practice, this works well enough, and is usually aided by the fact that the “string” wire in back also is simply held in place by being wedged between your cheeks – basically, a very solid G-string. (And yes, the stiff wire is covered in fabric all the way around so it’s relatively comfortable.) Ideally, the lowest part of the wire would stay right up against the underside of your torso, but I’ve found that it tends to slide down half an inch or so, giving a slightly open feeling between your legs; part of this may be due to the fact that the tapering from the pouch loop to the single wire happens somewhat slowly, pushing back against your thighs a little bit right where they’re trying to meet your crotch. This can be a tad uncomfortable since you can’t fully bring your thighs together without the wire digging in a little. Also, depending on your rear, the tip of the “string” wire may stick up a bit too much, which can interfere with your pants and/or your seat back if you’re sitting down. Still, I think this is a very fun design, and one I’ve worn several times on days I just feel like exciting myself a little bit.
Overall: 3/5 – I think this is a very situational pair, and I’m sure there will probably be a number of guys who just don’t like the idea of stiff underwear (or of something, stiff or not, going between their cheeks). This pair isn’t for those guys, obviously, but I think it’d be fun for people to try out if they can get one.

Raw Studio Designs – The Sock – Black Sheer – Large

102

Material: 92% Micro Fiber, 8% Lycra, and just WOW this feels amazing! Obviously quite breathable and lightweight, this mesh also ends up feeling almost frictionless, allowing for a ton of (somewhat sensual) movement within whatever pants you’re wearing.
Aesthetic: Clearly, this little black number doesn’t hide anything even while keeping everything “covered”, making it exude a very teasing and inviting aura. And of course, no straps either! Lots of skin to rub over smoothly.
Waistband: Incredibly stretchy and soft, it’s almost just the elastic itself – if you pull on it a little bit, you can see the stitching open right up to be its own mesh-like look.
Pouch: The pouch has a very nice shape to it, and the underside hem of the pouch comes up under your junk snugly but without being overly tight, no cutting in under your balls you at all. The pouch is a bit loose on me, which might be a function of getting a Large instead of a Medium (as my 33-35 waist straddles the 33/34 divide between Medium and Large, and they say that they run slim). If you compare this pair to my previous review, it almost looks like the underside comes up to the same height – but it feels lower enough to not be an issue, and if it really is coming up to the same height under my junk, it’s doing so in a way that’s not nearly as taut and cutting. I mean it’s seriously comfy, and also very effective – this is the first sling I’ve tried that hasn’t had a “failure” at some point in the day, (i.e. losing its grip and the pouch slipping off while still in your pants,) so that’s pretty awesome.
Backside/Legs: NA
Overall: 5/5 – If you want a sexy, see-though sling, GET THIS PAIR. Just do it. I was very tempted to give this a 4.5/5 instead just from the looseness of the pouch itself, but I can’t knock this pair for something that may or may not be a sizing issue and still feels amazing. This pair may become a favorite once I’ve worn it on multiple occasions.

Xtremen – Classic Stripes Boxer Brief – White Stripes – Medium

098

Material: 80% Nylon, 10% Polyester, 10% Spandex, which definitely feels synthetic and on the thick side, but is surprisingly soft and breathable despite it. It’s not weightless by any means, but I honestly kinda like it – which is a bit of a surprise to myself, as I had originally slated this pair for my Sales page before double-checking every pair I thought to sell and deciding I actually liked this one!
Aesthetic: Racing stripes are always fun. X-D It’s an interesting choice on Xtremen’s part to make the stripes go in different directions on each panel of the fabric, but I think it works out amazingly well! The stripes on the pouch really highlight the pouch’s contouring, especially if the pouch is being well-filled, and the horizontal stripes on the inner thighs draw your attention there just by being perpendicular, and it’s always fun looking right between the legs.
Waistband: Fairly typical as far as waistbands go I guess! Both soft enough and sturdy enough without going too far in either direction.
Pouch: Really nice shape! Not sure what else to say – neither “out there” or lackluster, just a very nice pouch. =-)
Backside: The Y-arrangement of the seams here makes the backside look a little bit messy because of just how obviously the stripes do not line up (and also because the stripes here are no longer vertical) but I still think it looks pretty fun overall. The material and cut do a good job of holding you in with a sleeker overall profile and such, with just a bit of cheek emphasis on the lower middle panel.
Legs: I like the length here for the most part. I will say that, like with the backside, the material and the cut work together to keep you tightened in, so the legs provide a sort of constant gentle squeeze, but it’s not focused on the hems so it’s honestly quite comfortable. The only problem is that these legs will roll up over time, but it takes a while, so that’s not too bad.
Overall: 3.5/5 – If you like your underwear feeling on the snug side, this is an amazing pair, with both the fabric and the overall look being pretty good just in general so it can be fun for just about everyone.

Box Menswear – F**k You Boxer Briefs – print – Medium

096

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane, and definitely comfortable! The material stretches nicely, and largely just molds itself to your shape. You can feel the fabric there, but it’s not constraining in any way, and has just a hint of cool feeling to it.
Aesthetic: Not sure exactly how to put into words the aesthetic here, as this pair looks somewhat newspaper-ish from a distance, with the brand text almost looking like a headline along the waistband. Between the print, you can also make out the hems fairly clearly, which is a little visually distracting, and not in a good way. Still, you get to read the “F**k You” text if you take a closer look, and getting to take a closer look at a pair of underwear in wear is always nice! (The print is not censored like I’m doing here.)
Waistband: A bit taller than most waistbands, consistent in that sense with the waistband on the Box briefs. It’s a little bit of a softer construction, though, and a bit more plain on the inside too. Generally wears at or slightly below your waist.
Pouch: As with many boxer-briefs, the pouch is stretched out and spacier near the bottom where it connects to the legs than the pouch on comparable briefs are. Interestingly, though, I like this pouch better because the fabric and stretch and mold around your junk better than the brief I previously reviewed. In other words,the pouch here can still provide support around the lower areas quite well, and more so based on conforming to your junk rather than conforming your junk to it.
Backside: The backside here does give your cheeks some good definition on the underside, and the print is nice to look at, but I would say here that the pair doesn’t do an A+ job of giving your cheeks a good overall shape – IMO, my rump definitely looks bigger in the somewhat-flabby way in this pair. That said, it still feels very good to wear!
Legs: I like the length on these, and they’re generally pretty comfortable, including well-made hems at the end of each legs. The comfort of those hems has maybe allowed them to more-easily roll up, which they will do a fair amount, as shown below.
Other: Yes, they do have a pair that says “F**k Me” on it too. That one is typically sold out, while this one is typically not.
Overall: 3.5/5 – While I’m only giving these a fairly average rating, largely based on the less-flattering backside and rolling-up leg hems, I still quite like how these feel to wear. Definitely a nice pair to wear, and if you can get the “F**k Me” instead of the “F**k You” pair, all the more fun!

I hadn’t heard of Sinner until seeing this pic, and with their logo brandished proudly across both the jockstrap here and the harness on top, I had to see just how cohesive and extensive their branding was.

Visually, there isn’t a ton of variety in their products, but boy do they have a bunch of different products! Harness, jock, brief, mask, two hats, three pairs of socks, all a black+white combo (usually black w/ white text) with that strongly angled logo very prominently featured on everything! They also have some more colorful items if you venture a bit deeper into their BDSM selection… The branding isn’t as strong with those but BOY is there some exciting variety there!

Anyway, as for the outfit pictured here, I’d say it looks pretty good! Solid B+/A-, I think; nothing particularly wrong with it at all, and impressive in the strength and cohesiveness of the look, just without anything to really push it over the top. As long as the material on both is comfy, I would absolutely like to try this look out! Gotta get myself a bit better in shape first, though. X-D

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.

This model is sporting both a Box boxer and a CK t-shirt! Docking this outfit points for using different brands, but it actually goes together quite well with the colors – the black “BOX” on the boxer matches the t-shirt color, while the white of the CK name matches the boxer main color. Not a pairing I would have gone with, but it works pretty well!

I’m a bit surprised in the fact that I haven’t reviewed any of my Box underwear yet – I have multiple pairs and, when I got them, thought I had written a review or two. Apparently not! Anyway, Box is a pretty good brand for basic, everyday underwear, with one or two more fun pairs thrown in with various prints. The fabric is generally good, and as you can see from the picture here, the pouches are usually pretty good too! I think this model would do himself a favor if he juuuust smoothed the boxer out a bit better to get out those wrinkles, but you can probably tell from those that the fabric is fairly soft, so I guess that’s good!

Blanc – Enhance Briefs – Black – Medium

091

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, which is Blanc’s well-made go-to.
Aesthetic: Black is supposedly a slimming color, which is hard to do with briefs, especially when they have relatively short hips bands, but this is still a fairly impactful pair visually! The black is fairly bold and strong, I like the color contrast from the waistband.
Waistband: As typical for Blanc pairs, the waistband is a bit sturdier than the main fabric but otherwise essentially has the same softness and stretchiness to it.
Pouch: While I think the Enhance design doesn’t work well for a boxer, I think it works amazingly well for briefs! With the lower edges of the pouch coming up right between your legs as the overall edges of the pair, there’s no question as to where your junk fits in the pair, and it typically fills the pouch up very well. Of note, the paneling that helps make up the pouch shape ends up in a noticeably different pattern compared to other briefs, with the pouch panel vertical edges much closer to the middle of the pair than with the standard fit briefs – a difference not seen between Blanc’s standard and Enhance boxers. Honestly, I really like this pouch, even though I’m not really a fan of being forced to wear my willie pointing down. It’s very grabbable. X-D And of course it does a good job of making your junk look nice and big. The downside here is that the willie-down design means lots of skin-on-skin contact with your balls inside the pouch, and if you’re not careful during the day, it’s possible to get your balls squeezed between your legs. So watch out for that! Despite these drawbacks, I think the Enhance pouch has more pros than cons on the briefs here.
Backside: Like the standard fit lilac brief, the backside is not full-coverage, so there are some cheek issues if you’re sensitive to that stuff. The print-on tag in back can be faintly seen in the right light, but it’s nowhere near as obvious as with the lilac brief.
Legs: Basically the same as the lilac brief here.
Overall: 4/5 – I wouldn’t say the Enhance pouch is strictly better than the standard fit pouch for these briefs – I think I like both equally – but it is a fun feature on its own, so I’m giving this brief a half point more.
