Modus Vivendi – Flag Jockstrap – Blue – L

066

Material: 95% Viscose, 5% Elastane, and very velvet-y! The pouch, that is. And it’s reeeaaally soft and plush. The straps are more your typical elastic, and between them you’ve got some vinyl siding with the metallic studs punched in.
Aesthetic: I’ve seen this pair described as “rock star” before, and IDK? The velvety sheen on the pouch, plus the jet black middle strap, is certainly distinctive at least. The color scheme overall is bright and bold while still remaining simple – only one color aside from black or white, and it’s not an outlandish shade either. Same for that little rubber brand tag up front, the shiny vinyl bands on the side of the pouch, and the metal studs holding the straps on (they do go completely through the vinyl and touch the skin).
Waistband: No real waistband here – what you’d call the waistband is just one of the three straps that goes around the back. It feels about like what you’d expect the normal-strap material would feel if it was around your waist instead of under/across your cheeks. I think the intent is for the black strap to be a second half of the waistband, but I’m considering it as its own strap.
Pouch: The pouch isn’t incredibly shaped, but it’s so, so soft! The velvety feel is more on the outside that on the insde, but it’s still incredibly comfortable. The fabric is somewhat on the medium-thick side, which probably is why it feels so cushion-y.
Backside/Straps: As mentioned above, theleg/cheek straps are fairly expected for “comfort” jockstraps. Small and soft as they are, the leg straps do fold over themselves somewhat, at least with the noticeable fold I have between my glutes and hammies, but they’re soft enough that this folding doesn’t cause any problems. What’s unique about this pair, obviously, is the extra horizontal strap that goes between the leg straps and the “waistband”. I’m not entirely sure how it’s intended to be worn – higher-up (almost like a shadow waistband) to leave the ass exposed, or directly across the middle of your cheeks to draw the eye there. The only promotional images I’ve been able to find suggest the former, but the friend who gifted me this pair (and took these pictures) thought the latter looked better, and I think I enjoy both alignments. You could probably even wear them low if you want to! I’m not sure what kind of look or feel that would accomplish though.

Other: I don’t know how long ago my friend bought this pair, but I was quite lucky to find that link above; these don’t seem to be available at all any more. Which is a shame, because these certainly are fun! (Shout out to @davin-w on tumblr, said friend, who I’ve also mentioned in my old MAL2018 posts.)
Overall: 4.5/5 – although somewhat impractical, they are honestly rather comfy, so the sexy look is just a bonus in that sense. I’m honestly almost tempted to do a 5/5, but I haven’t tried wearing this pair for an extended period of time yet to see how it deals with a full day of movement.
Great for: Sexy wear
Good for: Loungewear(?), Sex wear(?), Everyday wear(??)

I think this is the first Modus Vivendi swimwear that I’ve looked at? Anyway, strong blue here with white piping for a nice bold look – and the peekaboo hip opening is quite fun too! The pouch also looks nice… Modus Vivendi always is stylish, and this swim brief is no exception. I’d like to maybe get a pair like this myself, but I think the waist is too low for me to pull off (and I’d worry about flabbiness through the peekaboo!)

Random bedtime outfit

One thing I’ve added to my blog since moving here to WordPress is a new tag for “outfits”. As I’ve mentioned before, I love pairing underwear with other items of clothing; I noticed while fixing categories and links and such that I talked about outfit fun enough to think it deserves an official tag.

Anyway, here I am with an Andrew Christian Almost Naked trunk and a Modus Vivendi talk top, ready to head to bed tonight. Felt sexy enough to consider sharing my sleepy style with y’all. 🙂

Some very sleek Modus Vivendi (bikini?) briefs on this one! =3

Obviously low-rise, these bikini briefs have hip bands that are about as short as they can be while still actually having fabric there – get the sides of the brief much smaller, and you’d be switching to literally just strings attaching the front and the back panels!

Although you can’t fully tell with this greyscale pic, I’m guessing these are plain white bikini briefs, but definitely way more flattering than traditional whitey-tighties are. Not only is the bikini cut generally more flattering, but it looks like a very well-shaped, single-layer pouch on the pair as well.

What Dya think of those jocks?

Oooo a very sexy Modus Vivendi jockstrap! The dark-blue-and-gold color scheme is very classy, and the pouch itself looks very soft and comfy. It looks more cotton-y and shape-y than you’d expect in a traditional jockstrap, which would use a more athletic fabric and just strap you down, but I won’t complain about comfort for my junk! Also, the traditional jockstrap look is still very nicely present here with the rather tall waistband, and the practical-looking, kinda-thin, elastic straps. Would love to have this pair in my collection!

Modus Vivendi – Open Pocket Boxer – Blue – Medium

036

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane, which looks by the numbers similar to the AE Boxer Brief but feels way more like the AC Curve Brief (if a bit more taut). Go figure!
Aesthetic: A strong, solid blue with white piping gives this pair an upbeat, confident look.
Waistband: Overall, very comfy typical waistband that sits below the waist. Ever so slightly on the taller, tauter side.
Pouch: Ahhhh another H-Fly pouch… Makes me happy. =-) This one looks like it has very little opening on the front side of the pouch, but it still functions perfectly well. The pouch itself is a little on the strap-you-down side of tightness but still has a good enough shape and capacity to grow and let you fill it out.
Backside: The fact that this pair overall errs on the tighter side actually works out nicely in back – gives your cheeks a really good shape!
Legs: On the short side, clearly. There’s a threat of them bunching up a bit, but the construction is fairly good and the pair seems to avoid that for the most part. Still a little on the tight side for my big thighs, though.
Overall: 3.5/5 – a solid, comfy pair to have in your collection, especially if you like the shorter legs and/or like your underwear to have a nice grip on you all-around.
