Mao Jiang – transparent mesh boxers – Lilac – Large

099

Material: The website I ordered these from – Queer in the World – only says these are “a nylon/spandex blend for the ultimate in comfort and style”, and the tag on the pair itself doesn’t give the details, so I have no clue exactly what nylon/spandex blend these actually are! The fabric, though, definitely is incredibly comfy and breathable, and doesn’t have the mesh-bumps problem that can occur sometimes. The stretch is amazing, as is just the feel of the fabric, and of course it’s incredibly lightweight and breathable, so I think fabric style this is a win.
Aesthetic: Between the mesh and the diamond pattern and the color, this looks a lot like lingerie to me, and it’s quite fun!
Waistband: The actual structure of the waistband is covered with a thin layer of the purple fabric, so it’s incredibly soft and comfy as it sits a bit above the hips.

Pouch: Nothing super-impressive about this pouch, but it’s still quite a good one overall! It’s got a nice shape, and the fabric feels great on your junk, on top of being light and stretchy enough for you to very easily wear your willie up or down; I think the tip of the pouch is slightly better arranged for down-wearing than up-wearing, if the pictures are anything to go by, but it’s a very small difference. There isn’t much to the underside of the pouch but the pair overall still provides a moderate amount of support.
Backside: Thanks to the mesh, you get to see just about everything! And even then, the pair provides just enough support for the back to look fairly nice, even reigning in my own personal flab back there moderately well. You can see the tag, of course, but I don’t think it’s too distracting.
Legs: I like the length here as made, (and of course the fabric is very comfy,) though they could be a bit longer too. The legs are the one area where the fit of these isn’t excellent, as you can see that they roll up a little bit in some of the images above, and the lower leg hem is definitely a bit narrower than my thigh circumference… Thankfully, the fabric is good enough that these issues don’t cause much discomfort, so it doesn’t bother me too much. I could have in theory tried buying another size up, which is honestly a considering you definitely need to make when buying Asian brands, but the waistband and pouch fit me quite nicely, so I think a size up (XL with waist 35″-37″ instead of the L with waist 33″-35″) might have been a bit much. IDK

Overall: 4/5 – Very fun, very comfy lingerie boxers! Sizing might be a bit of an issue, as might fabric issues if you have those concerning nylon or spandex. Simply getting some of these for yourself could be interesting too – I can’t find any other distributors aside from Queer in the World, where they’re currently on sale for $13. Definitely try them out if you’re looking for that sheer bedroom look!

Veni Masse – Breathable separate ball hammock Boxer Brief – Purple – L

076

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 two Veni 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.

Veni Masse – Multi-function separate ball hammock Boxer Brief – Grey – L

075

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!

Veni Masse – Breathable multi-function separate ball hammock Boxer Brief – “Brown” (orange) – L

074

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!

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.

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. =-)

For a brand named “Jockmail”, you’d expect them to mostly make jocks – but here’s what looks to be a very jockstrap-like bikini brief! Specifically, this is the “JM304” on Jockmail’s website, and they do specifically call it an “almost jockstrap design”. All that’s different is that the space bounded by what would otherwise be your straps is instead one entire (though obviously not full-coverage) back panel.

The waistband here looks like it has a nice height to it, and the pouch has a nice round shape to it, so I’d certainly try it out! The plain single color works here with the white brand title on the waistband, as it’s a strong hue, giving the pair a simple-but-bold look.

Speaking of that pouch… I’ve shared a Jockmail pic before, a jockstrap (the JM203) with a MUCH bigger bulge! The pouch there also seems to be made with some breathable mesh panels on the sides, which sounds like it’d be nice and breathable for exercise (or other vigorous activity). Not sure if it would pass my squat test, though.
