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.

If you haven’t encountered Addicted before, they’re a really – um – LOUD underwear brand that isn’t scared to lean into the lust. And it’s not just in suggestive advertisement pictures like what’s shown here; basically, don’t go to their official Twitter account if you don’t want to see outright R- and X-rated stuff! They freely flaunt their OnlyFans account and readily share content created by anyone wearing their undies doing whatever they want to do.

Anyway, as per the underwear in the above pic: we’ve got one style in three different cuts on three different guys, all of which look great! The color of the pairs here is nice and loud, contrasted by the bold, black name ADDICTED branding on the waistbands, which look maybe just a bit taller than other waistbands tend to be. Every single pair looks like it has an impressive pouch to go with – and the guys are filling out those pouches quite nicely too. It’s a bit hard to tell what that material is here, but the giant stretch being applied to the brief in the middle is more than enough to tell us that the pairs can give that kind of stretch and are probably rather durable!

Combine that sturdy construction and the taller waistband and maybe semi-thick-looking fabric and it’s clear this brand intends for you to put their underwear through its paces… Which is entirely in line with their emphasis on AD/fetish content to begin with, I guess! And yes, they have many pairs that are far more risque than these available on their site!

Jack Adams – Crew Brief – Lime – Medium

086

Material: 92% Cotton, 8% Polyester, and so soft and lightweight!
Aesthetic: Loud but not fully in-your-face, it’s just a very fun pop of lime green color with the strong, obvious lines provided by the high-contrast black piping. The doulbe-line “railroad tracks” piping at the top corners of the fly on any Crew pairs are a really intriguing design choice that gives an athletic look to the pair, and the choice to make the right tracks white to contrast the rest of the piping just adds to the eye-catching nature of the design. The big, bold Jack Adams logo panel front-and-center on the waistband further adds to the confident, statement-making effect of the pair.
Waistband: Nice and stretchy with some good height to it!
Pouch: This is a fun one! There’s some nice but not overt contouring on both panels of the pouch/fly, such that you’re always going to get a fairly nice (but never really intensely defined) shape whether you like wearing your willie up or down. The Crew brief sports a U-fly design, which is generally very fun, though on this pair both openings are fairly far down your crotch, which makes it a tiny bit more work to whip your willie out if it’s naturally behind the inner panel to begin with. You might also think that the contouring would make it hard to pull your boy out for whatever reason, but the opening is not hemmed, letting the fabric stretch as much as it likes, and the fabric goes so far down that there’s plenty of fabric there, meaning it’s quite easy to manipulate honestly. (You can see how much kinda folded up there in the picture below; *warning* for shaft.) This also means that you don’t have to hold the fly open at all while you’re using it, which is a huge plus. The only real downside here is that you can’t let your willie sit in between the inner and outer openings of the fly, because once you’re past the inner opening, there’s very little fabric up front to hold you back any more.

Backside: Clearly not a full-coverage pair, almost closer to a bikini than a regular brief! Of course, I have a fairly big backside myself, so it might work better for more toned guys. Plain-colored backsides can be unflattering, especially for full-coverage pairs, but the green-vs-black of this pair is still a nice contrast, and with the leg openings coming up over the cheeks themselves, you get more visual contrast than just a full expanse of lime. There is a finicky tag hanging down inside, and it’s probably the worst part of the pair, but that’s not saying much and can be dealt with easily enough if you wanted to do so.
Legs: A little on the tight side, especially going from the hips down front toward the crotch, but overall still fairly comfy (and probably just a sizing issue, as the pair overall is kinda tight anyway).
Overall: 4.5/5 – the only reason I’m not going a full 5 is because this pair, for me, is a bit small. I think I may try buying this again in a bigger size, because it’s pretty great!

This eye-catching outfit is entirely from Breedwell, whose Moto Brief I reviewed the other week! I always love a good outfit, and companies that make full setups like this always make me smile. =-)

Starting with the centerpiece is what appears to be a jockstrap of some sort with a pink Breedwell Glow band down the front of the pouch! Now, Breedwell sells “Glow jockstrap” cups that can be attached to any compatible base jockstrap, but if that was what we were seeing here, we wouldn’t see the yellow/peach/pink shiny pouch that we are. As such, I’m not entirely sure what Breedwell underwear or accessory this guy is wearing… I do really love the sheen, though!

Higher on up, we’re seeing what appear to be a yellow or green Glow shoulder harness and a red/orange/yellow Glow armband. The synergy with all of the colors & designs here, along with a generally good match to the guy wearing them, really make an incredibly strong sell for this being a sexy, well-coordinated club outfit! I don’t think there’s any way in the world *I* could pull it off, but damn does it look good!

The only downside to Breedwell’s entire Glow collection is that, by the nature of these LED systems, most everything is somewhat stiff. This means that your sizing has to be exact, and in the case of any Glow jockstrap add-ons, means you’ve got something hard either limiting your pouch and/or in the folds of your body (waist area or the thigh-cheek fold). They’re also damn expensive, and laundering is out of the picture. Really sexy look, but just be ready to take care of these properly and only wear them in specific situations!

This here is the super-colorful Apex Brief from Marco Marco – which, sadly, does not seem to be available any more, although Marco Marco does have their Flux line of underwear that features the exact same paneling pattern as Apex and the exact same fabric makeup, (82% Polyester, 18% Spandex,) just with much lower color variety in any single pair. It’s a bit of a shame, because I love just how colorful these are, notwithstanding how much the neon of these colors pops so much! But at least the Flux line is quite nice too. Also, I can’t find any pictures of the backside of the Apex brief, but the Flux briefs all have this open window on the backside just beneath the waistband, so that’s fun!

I do really love the paneling on this pair. The block colors give a really strong appearance while helping everything “pop” well. The paneling on the pouch in particular provides some visual enhancement to the already-impressive pouch shape, which is great too.

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.

I remember following JW Collection (and creator Jake Woods) early on, and it seems like they’ve since scaled back their presence/production… jwcollection.com is no longer an active site, at least, but you can still buy Hard Impact underwear around the ‘net.

The neon colors certainly grab your attention, and the fabric looks nice. Combine that with impressive, nicely-shaped pouches, an aggressive font for the brand name, and a tough-as-nails-inspired logo, everything about the line is meant to grab your attention and does a good job of it!

The pair here seems to be on the low-rise side of cuts, and that plus the vibrant colors in particular make it almost look like it’s a swim brief instead of normal underwear. (It’s “normal”, though – 95% cotton and some Spandex.)

As a sports company, Under Armour often offers matching looks, and this dressed-down look is no different! The sort of neon yellow-green (tennis balls, anyone?) isn’t a color you see often, but I think it’s really working well here when being the solid color on both a T-shirt and some boxer briefs/trunks.. The T-shirt looks comfortable enough, and the trunks… I don’t know if the front pouch is designed to have a definite shape, but the pair looks quite stretchy enough, doesn’t it? =3 (Also, I think I would enjoy how long the legs are on those trunks.)

Andrew Christian – Night Animal Jock w/ Almost Naked – Print (neon blue, pink, & orange) – Medium

009

image

Material: 90% Polyamide, 10% Spandex, definitely lightweight and sleek and a bit sheer too, though also obviously synthetic, not the softest pouch fabric. (Straps are great though, soft & stretchy.)
Aesthetic: Andrew Christian comes through with the bright colors and bold designs the brand is known for to bring the party/rave feel with this “Night Animal” print! The bold, pink, large-print text on the waistband adds to the feel; everything lets you know whoever wears this is proud of how they look.
Waistband: Feeling-wise, what you expect of most waistbands, but every so slightly more synthetic-y than many of AC’s other waistbands. Still a good side. Generally sits between the hips and waist, but can be worn a bit higher or lower depending on preference.
Pouch: Advertised as Almost Naked, but strays a bit more away from that design than even the Sport & Workout Boxer did, which is probably a function of the fact that the pouch has some required stability due simply to being a jockstrap – if there’s no structure in the pouch, there’s not structure in the jock overall. Still very comfortable and moderately roomy, but it doesn’t offer the freedom of movement of other Almost Naked pairs. As a side note, something that’s also probably a function of being a jockstrap (though not always a problem with AC jockstraps) is that the lower half of the pouch border feels slightly on the tight side for some motions or just when standing, putting a little hem pressure on your crotch occasionally – sitting and most motions are fine, though.
Backside/straps: One thing AC does incredibly well at is making super-comfortable straps for their jockstraps, with a soft and stretchy strap that isn’t as “rough” as the straps are on vintage/traditional jockstraps. That’s probably a function of the fact that AC jockstraps are a bit more interested in comfort and look than honest athletic support, but I’ll take it! AC jockstraps have generally never let me down in heavy activity unless they weren’t comfortable enough to begin with. That said, there is one drawback to this pair, and that’s the tag: the material for the branded part of the tag seems stiffer than what AC has used elsewhere, leaving the corners & edges to poke & cut at the small of your back a little bit.
Other: One maybe silly test I always do with jockstraps is to see how comfortable (or not) they are when you try to pull your junk out BENEATH the pouch when you’re in a squatting position – i.e. if you can go #2 easily (implying #1 as well) without taking the jockstrap off at all. This pair passes the test!
Overall: 2.5/5 – the rating might be a bit harsh, because I wouldn’t say this is a “bad” jockstrap, but between slight lacks of comfort in the pouch fabric and in the tag, there are just a bunch of better jockstrap options out there, including from AC itself. Great looker, though!
