Box Menswear – briefs – Pink – Small

092

Material: 92% Cotton, 8% Spandex, which feels relatively solid and not as stretchy as some other pairs I’ve reviewed, but is still quite comfy and not “heavy” at all.
Aesthetic: Simple and owning it, which just enough hue and just the right shape to keep it fairly interesting. The black and white of the waistband with a big, bold BOX logo font and center, adds to that air of confidence.
Waistband: Maybe a bit taller than other waistbands I’ve seen, (the waistband is taller than the hip bands,) and also a bit more solid, but not to the point of being tough. Interestingly, the inside of the waistband has an unexpected grey-and-white banding pattern to it. Nor sure what that’s for, but it makes the pair that much more interesting for the wearer. I go back and forth between wearing this directly on the hips (lower front hems aligning with the hip-thigh fold) or between the hips and waist (thinnest part, just below the navel) and both work for me.

Pouch: The pouch doesn’t look like much at first glance, with relatively little shape built into the pair compared to many other “big pouch” pairs, but the rounded-out shape is there and it honestly works quite well. The fabric makes it so that the pouch forms around your junk fairly well and holds you in without feeling limiting, which is good.
Backside: Fairly plain, but the contrast between the white, almost-shiny waistband and the color of the fabric still lets it look nice enough. Definitely not full coverage! And you will occasionally feel the hems when you sit, but it’s a very small effect. A tag is printed on the inside of the backside and is somewhat visible from behind.
Legs: Quite good, especially considering that this is a Small and not a Medium! The one problem many people encounter with briefs is that the legs feel like they cut it a little bit, and Box avoids that completely with their briefs here somehow. That’s not to say they aren’t snug – they are – but you probably won’t ever feel the need to stretch things out or readjust at any point, which is very nice.
Overall: 4.5/5 – IDK if this is a slightly high rating for a rather plain pair, but it’s simply that good at what it wants to be. If you don’t like simple, everyday, fly-less briefs, then it won’t be for you, but if you go for that style, this is such a great pair.
Great for: Everyday wear

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.

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.

Andrew Christian – Laguna Jockstrap – Laguna Stripe – M

057

Material: 85% Polyester, 15% Spandex, to give a very smooth, breathable, though definitely synthetic feel. And while it’s definitely synthetic, it’s not annoyingly so – there is a softer, “realer” side to this synthetic material. And I think I’m talking about the pouch here – as mentioned before, anytime the waistband and/or non-pouch material makes up a significant part of an undie, I’m not quite as confident what the listed material combination actually refers to.
Aesthetic: White/pink/light blue/dark blue is a great, bright, fresh-looking color combination that makes me think of an ocean sunrise, which is probably the intent for a “Laguna”-named pair. Not to mention that horizontal stripes are almost always successful at making a fun, engaging appearance.
Waistband: Very typical, about what you’d expect for a waistband. Sits at the hips, though you can probably pull the sides up if you want and it wouldn’t be very different.
Pouch: Relatively plainly shaped as far as AC pouches go! This despite the fact that it’s advertised as an Almost Naked pouch. Roomy enough, and the edges are put together to keep you inside even if you’re packing a fair amount. It probably is called Almost Naked because it has a nice shape to it but it otherwise looser to let you move around a bit, in which case it definitely qualifies as Almost Naked – but, because it’s a jockstrap, there’s a certain necessary amount of structural integrity to the edges of the pouch, since there’s no other structure around, so like the Night Animal Jock it’s not fully what I’d expect of Almost Naked (though, unlike the Night Animal Jock, the lower border of the pouch doesn’t feel tighter than wanted).
Backside/Straps: Basically exactly the same as the Night Animal Jock, except that I’d say the tag here might be a tad bit more forgiving, so that’s good!
Other: This pair also passes the junk-out-below-the-pouch squat test!
Overall: 3.5/5 – I’m not sure exactly what prompted the change in their production between the Night Animal Jock and this Laguna Jockstrap, but  the slightly better tag and solidly better material mean that this pair gets a full point more. Definitely a better example of how well AC does jockstraps!
Great for: Activewear, Sexy wear, Sex wear
Good for: Everyday wear

A very fine example of Andrew Christian’s “Trophy Boy” line, showing off exactly what’s supposed to be trophy-winning about the boys wearing it! ;-D

The pouch, clearly, is made for well-hung guys, and the low-rise waistband is there to show off a great set of abs. I can’t tell if this is pink in low lighting or actually a maroon or red, but it’s honestly one of AC’s more muted designs either way – and still quite a looker! Bold in its simplicity. (With a loud waistband.)

I think this particular pair might be a tad tight for the guy wearing them – aside from the pouch, at least, it looks very skintight on the flatter areas. But, as it’s made to be a show-off pair, that’s probably a bit intended!

I don’t think I’ve reviewed (or bought) Marco Marco before, and it’s a designer I’ve always had my eye on somewhat – and with how fun this particular pair is, you can probably see why!

The print(?) pattern here is one of Marco Marco’s most colorful, what with the strong contrast between blue and white in the background stripes, layered with pink flamingos and red vertical stripes on each seam. Even when Marco Marco goes simpler than this, their color choice is usually pretty impactful anyway, as are their distinctive waistbands. (That bright pink pair with telltale waistband I couldn’t identify before? Also Marco Marco.) In fact, this “Nautical” design with the blue stripes and pink flamingos can get even more fun on Marco Marco’s “Half Moon” Brief design as opposed to this regular brief. 😉

And that’s a good segue into discussion about the cut/structure of this pair! One other thing that I’ve always noticed about Marco Marco – aside from its eye-catching colors, prints, and waistbands – is that most Marco Marco pairs have a nicely-shaped pouch as well. It’s more noticeable on their “Core” briefs, which are solid color and show off the shape of the pouch a bit more, but you can still see even on this Nautical brief that the pouch comes outward very nicely!

Crap, I should know what brand this is just by the waistband; it’s so damn distinctive….

But I like the pink pair w/ black waistband, the look really works here. Pouch isn’t super-impressive, but doesn’t need to be… X3

Looks like comfy material too

Go Softwear – Hard Core Fetiche Harness – Pink – Medium

046

Decided to give a quick mini-review of this top! Reason being is that I decided to try it on this morning…. And was pleasantly surprised at the whole experience.

I bought this “harness” (I’m just gonna call it a top from here on out) on a whim while in Rehoboth Beach with friends a few weeks ago. I’m not huge into the leather community, especially since my skin doesn’t like metal very much, but this looked kinda sleek and felt like (I guessed) neoprene, plus it looked more like a cut-off tank top instead of a “real” harness to me, so I felt more comfortable with the idea of wearing it.

With the color, I decided to pair it with a previously-reviewed AC jockstrap because of the black and pink already there… I think it was a good pairing! Which was a great start with this look.

I was somewhat expected the top to be maybe a little hard to put on, depending on the stretch or lack thereof – but it wasn’t a worry. First, the material (actually 95% polyester and 5% spandex) was more forgiving than I expected, and second, with as small as the top was in the vertical dimension, there wasn’t much material to worry about to begin with! If it was a taller top (i.e. extended further down my torso) it might’ve been harder to put on, but that wasn’t worry.

It was a thought, though – I had misjudged how “tall” the material was, and initially thought it would cover my nipples. Nope! X-D I’m not complaining at all, though, because I really do like this look. In fact, this is one of the only pictures of myself I’ve ever taken and honestly thought I looked moderately appealing… I’ve taken “sexy” pics before, but they were mostly that way due to suggestiveness (or explicitness) – I think this here makes me look like the kind of person I want to be and want to have with me. I actually kinda want to go to clubs with this look…
