AussieBum – TrackyDak Pant – Marle Grey – M

082

Material: 98% Cotton, 2% Viscose, which is SUPER SOFT OMG. The thing is, while it’s super soft and somewhat stretchy, it’s not super stretchy by any means. This means that the “tapered design” can cause some issues depending on your proportions… But it will always feel amazing even if the fit isn’t great.
Aesthetic: I mean, they’re grey trackies/sweatpants… We all know what grey sweatpants are good for. 8) This pair in particular is designed for a bit more of an athletic look, with less bulk and a tighter fit, and I think it pulls that off quite well – almost too well!
Waistband: Tall and sleek with a tube through the middle of the waistband for the drawstring. A bit tight at times, but in an all-around way that doesn’t ever fell like it’s cutting into you at all; just generally snug I guess. Quite comfy honestly.
Pouch: Normally I’d say this is N/A for outerwear pants, because they’re generally designed to be flat thanks to the assumption that you’re wearing underwear beneath… But these are grey trackies we’re talking about, of course! The joke is that you go commando and show off a bit. ;3 The overall more-skintight design of these sweatpants means that you aren’t going to have anything flopping about at all, but that’s fine. The fabric is so soft that the snugness is still pretty damn comfortable. That said, I recommend wearing a C-ring of some sort, whether you want to be showing off your religion or not, because you’re probably going to want something lessen the amount of skin-on-skin contact between your junk and your legs that otherwise results from the revealing fit. I personally chose to wear an elastic C-strap that came with one of my older Mckillop bulge pairs.
Backside: There isn’t much of an ass to these pants, at least not by design; if you already have a good solid backside to show off, these sweats will do a good job of showing it off, but the softer your cheeks are, the more flattened-out you’ll look with these. Still, the tightness will still hold a nice curve even if you are a softer guy! So that’s night (but again it works better if you’re naturally more cake-y). And that all said, if you have curvy hips, it will show those of AMAZINGLY well! The backside also has a bit of visual interest with a back pocket on the right cheek. There is a tag in the back of the waistband that’s fairly large, but it’s not noticeable at all, and pretty soft.
Legs: The legs are the most telling part of these trackies to me. As mentioned above, they were designed with a “tapered design” in mind, I guess with the waist being the widest part of the person wearing them: from promotional material, they’re supposed to be only moderately snug on the hips and thighs, relatively loose around the knees, and then fairly skintight around the calves. I, clearly, am not the intended body type though! My hips and ass are far thicker than my waist, and my thighs are pretty big as well, so what happens when I pull them on is that they become skintight around my everything, which then prevents the bottom hems of the pants from coming up as high as they should because of how much they hug my calves, making the loosest part be a clumpy-ish grouping around my ankles. (Side note: the ankle openings are also difficult to get stretched over my actual ankles!) As moderately difficult it is to get them on, once they are on they are still quite comfy. They don’t look like they’re promoted to, but I still like the look anyway, so despite my apparent complaints above I do still quite like them all-around! While skintight, they aren’t constricting at all, and of course the material is very soft, especially on the inside.
Other: Like the SupaDupa brief… Who the F is naming these things? It’s like an old cartoon the way they name some of these products… Plus, TrackyDak also sounds a bit too much like Tricky Dick to my liking. Oh well!
Overall: 4/5 – I don’t want to knock these too much for the sizing issues, because aside from those, these are an amazing pair of sweatpants! I wonder if they would have been noticeably different around the thighs and calves if I had ordered a large instead of a medium…

N2N – L15 Sleep Short – Maroon – M

063

(Trying out WordPress’ gallery feature here!)

Material: 58% Polyester, 36% Rayon, 6% Linen, which is one of the most off-the-wall fabric combinations I’ve ever seen in the hundreds of pairs of underwear that I own, and yet… It’s pretty amazing. Really lightweight and thin, quite soft, and exactly the kind of loose-y-ness that you’d expect from a “sleep short”.
Aesthetic: …I really don’t know how to categorize how this pair looks – because it does remind me something but I can’t for the life of me put my finger on what – but let me just say I love the stipes here and the overall look of lounging you get from this pair. The mix of colors for the stripes is great, I really enjoy the little swoop on the bottom hem of each hip, and the drawstring is very fun. Speaking of that…
Waistband: There is technically a waistband here, but really all it is is a fold-over of the same material to make a small tube of fabric that’s just enough to hold in the drawstring. I love the fact that you can tie this pair off, but if there’s one small hassle about this pair, it’s that the drawstring isn’t secured in any way and it’s only so long. So, if you don’t tie it off in some way almost all the time, it’s really easy to lose one end of the drawstring into the fabric-tube of waistband itself. Sits somewhere between the waist and the hips generally, though it does somewhat depend on how tight you pull the drawstring.
Pouch: Essentially no pouch at all! It’s a flat-front pair, but the fabric is plenty forgiving/loose enough that you don’t ever feel constrained. Often quite the opposite – the loose square cut means there’s no support at all under your balls, which is generally just fine some something you’re supposed to wear to bed.
Backside: Similar to the front, there’s not much of note here because of the square cut. The stripes provide some nice visual variety, as I’ve mentioned when talking about briefs’ backsides. There’s a small, smooth, soft tag hanging from the back of the waistband’s backside, and it’s entirely unnoticeable.
Legs: They’re here but there’s not much too them! The inseam of this pair is maybe an inch and a half, and with the swoop on the outside of the hip, there isn’t much leg there either. There’s a nice soft hem around the bottom of each leg, though, and they’re loose, as is fitting for sleepwear.
Other: I will say that the loose-y-ness I mentioned can be easily seen in the hips on the pics of me above, which isn’t something you generally see in N2N’s promotional images for their various sleep shorts. In those pics, the pair is fairly square-looking and an even fit all around, while on me it’s definitely wider than it is tall, and has that looseness at the hips. If I personally was wide enough to have “stretched” the pair, you’d expect the hips to be the tightest area, not the loosest, so IDK what exactly is going on with the fitting/sizing.
Overall: 5/5 – I do really love this pair, both for sleeping and just lounging around. It looks a little sadder on me than I think it would on most other guys, but I still say it’s a great look – sexy both in what it shows off and in how comfy and relaxing it appears.

While I’m on a Bruno kick, here’s another of their LOVEPRIDE collection. This isn’t actually a pair of underwear, but a fun little pair of shorts – one that looks like it would do well going commando though. 😉 It’s described as a “cotton plush” fabric, so I’m guessing it would certainly be comfortable on your sensitive area. And, despite being shorts, it looks like the front is fairly impressively shaped! The ass (not shown here) also hugs your cheeks nicely, while the back of the waistband (in fun rainbow striping) seems to go a lot higher than the front does. The pockets look nice and big, which is a plus! Especially if they go fairly far down front…
