Guys' Underwear Blog

Unless you’ve been you’ve been living under a rock, you will know that faded Hollywood star, Mario Lopez, recently launched his very own range of men’s underwear, wittingly called Rated M.

Well, here at Guys’ Underwear Blog we are not sure what to think of Mr. Lopez’ underwear endeavors. The undies look a bit… old-fashioned.

But hey, props to him for making men’s underwear the talk of the town this past week. It’s clear that Mario Lopez sure knows how to market his new Rated M range.

A few days ago, Mario was a guest on the Ellen show and was “forced” to strip and show off his new underwear – to the obvious delight of the women in the audience.

You can watch the video clip below – it has already gone viral, attracting more than 380,000 views. You can also see a few pics of the new range below the clip.

Now all Mr. Lopez has to do is go back to his designers and teach them the words “low rise” – that should help bring sexy back to this range.

Do you remember that guy in high school who was good at everything – sports, tests, getting dates?  Well, if that guy was a brand, he’d probably be 2(x)ist.  They just seem to get everything right!  This company, which was founded over 20 years ago, has built its reputation on creating attractive styles that fit well and feel comfortable.  And the new Tartan Line is no exception.

The Tartan collection is available in trunks, briefs, long johns and Henley shirts.  For this review I tried a pair of black trunks and black briefs.  They’re made with a high-quality fabric that’s 90% cotton and 10% spandex.  So they’re soft and provide just the right amount of stretch.  Like all 2(x)ist underwear that I’ve worn, they include a pouch in the front for support and comfort.

The distinctive feature of the underwear is the woven plaid pattern (tartan) that appears on the waist band.  This is a fun way to add some color and additional style to the line.  The rest of the fabric comes in either solid black, white or red.

I don’t like over-using the same word, but have to say that both the trunks and the briefs are incredibly COMFORTABLE.  The fabric feels great and the underwear fits just right…no itchy tag, no tightness in the crotch or leg openings, no bunching.  The briefs are sexy while still offering the right amount of coverage on the backside.  And the pouch in front makes your profile all the more impressive.  The trunks are just as attractive and enjoyable to wear.

I’d describe the Tartan underwear as “Go To” underwear.  They’re great for everyday wear, for working out and for being seen in.  They also hold up perfectly in the wash.

It’s Australia days on Guys’ Underwear Blog and today we have a real treat for you.

One of the hottest fashions from Spain have hit the GUB!

We’re talking about the almighty and sexy Mundo Unico!

Thank you for the great underwear featured in these new pictures from our original gallery. The purple Unicos are on Travis in his debut photo shoot exclusive for our blog taken at the Underground bar in Colorado Springs.

He’s still unsigned, modeling agencies, you better snatch him up! The other shoot was done with Greg a model from the Natalie Lynn modeling agency in Denver. Great underwear and great guys! As always, pictures by MusclePix.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

These are the months when Aussie underwear brands flourish!

One of our favorite Australian brands is 2wink. They recently released their brand new Walkabout collection.

Before we get to the sizzling pictures below, though, lets dwell by the name of this brand for a moment.

If you think the name is clever of spelling the word “twink”, then think again. In fact, 2wink Australia’s brand name was conceived from the concept to wink your eye (hence to wink). Combined with that the company produces Aussie made products the result is 2-wink Australia.

There you go. We feel more enlightened.

Now, the new Walkabout collection. It’s available as briefs and trunks and is made from 92 % cotton and 8 % spandex. The design is influenced by Australian Aboriginal culture and the term known as “Walkabout”.

In fact, the waistband is designed by Australian Aboriginal artist Peter Mulchay.

And here’s a real treat, buy your 2wink Walkabout undies over at www.2wink.com.au and you’ll get worldwide free shipping. The trunks are about $20 USD.

Enjoy the pictures below. They feature male underwear model Lee Stram and was shot by Paul Dedona Photography.

Today we bring a new set of beautiful men’s underwear photos, sent to us by photo blog Image Amplified.

Today’s set is called “Te Amo” and once again features male underwear model, Jordan Regalado. This time, too, he is Styled by Rick Guzman and Dominic Alonzo and photographed by the skilled Troy Wise.

The underwear brands used for this shoot are not really in focus – I can’t tell what they are. So simply you must enjoy the pictures as a whole – which is fine, ’cause they are gorgeous!

Enjoy.

Hello all you underwear lovers out there. Today we’re taking a look at the latest and greatest from one of the world’s leaders in men’s underwear fashion. 2(x)ist has a style that takes from bright and flashy as seen in their neon collection to this hyper masculine look of the military series. 2(x)ist has a very diverse look yet always exhibits an amazing style and look and is and has been at the forefront of the underwear world for men. So I am always excited to get a chance to look at review underwear from 2(x)ist.

I love the Military collection from 2(x)ist. When you first hear the name you would expect to see a bunch of camouflage prints but that is not all you will find. 2(x)ist has taken their “military” look in a way that captures the utilitarian and brute look of soldiers. The material is 57% cotton, 37% modal, and 6% spandex. It’s fabricated into a smooth look that has an edge. If you look closely it’s patterned into a rugged feel in that it doesn’t have a silky smooth shimmer but a look imitating Army issued undies. Yet the material is as soft, supportively stretchy and comfortable as any high quality underwear. It does come in a green and a grey camouflage but also comes in white, black, grey and green. It comes as a sports brief, a no-show brief and a no-show trunk. You may also get a matching square neck tank.

I have a green Military Sports Brief and love it. It fits great, feels great and looks great. The waistband on the underwear has a metallic silver shiny band with three thin green lines in the color of the underwear. That band color compliments the green really well, completely highlighting the military look. The elastic band is about an inch and a half so it’s large but not too big. The front has a lined and contoured pouch which is a good size, neither too small nor overly large, so it provides support and comfort. The brief has a fully covered back made with one piece of material. The strip between your legs is not too thick, so as to cause bunching, but wide enough to keep you covered; about 2 and a half inches. The front pouch and back are connected at the front hip by a small bridge of fabric giving it 2(x)ist’s signature “sports” look. The underwear is trimmed by the same colored fabric with three rows of stitching in a darker, almost black, thread. They look and feel great!

I also have a matching green tank. It’s made out of the same material and and has the same great look. The front neck line has a squared “U” cut. The sides have three double stitched lines which go up and arch around and go straight down the back. The stitching as in the underwear is of a dark green. The lines remind me of a 50’s movie theatres neon sign. Its contouring lines go well with the look of the tank top. On the left shoulder strap there is a silver tag with green letters showing 2xists logo. It can be worn as undershirt or on its own as a tank top.

I wore both of these garments and they were very comfortable and looked really good. I had them on throughout my day’s activities and even throughout the night. Like all good underwear they were doing their job so well I never even really noticed they were there except when I took my clothes off and was pleasantly surprised to see my hot undies! I washed them and wore them again and they showed no signs of wear. The quality is great and these undies should last you a long time. Thank you 2xist for these amazing Military style undies.

Merry Christmas guys!

We hope you all got a lot of exciting new underwear this morning.

On this wonderful Christmas Day we bring you some new underwear inspiration from Brazil!

The brand in question is the very intriguing and posh-looking Dot Underwear.

They carry a nice selection of our favorite cuts, including trunks, briefs, and jockstraps. And the best part is that since Dot Underwear originates from Brazil it’s much cheaper than competing American and European brands.

A pair of briefs will set you back no more than $13 – $18 USD.

They just launched a new colorful GOLD collection. Enjoy the pics below and go to www.lojadotgg.com.br to see the entire collection and shop online. Be aware, though, the website is not available in English, so consider using Google Translate to make some sense of it.

Guys, we are so excited to introduce you to Jeff, the newest addition to the GUB team. Today Jeff will be reviewing the fun new Festive range by Greece’s number one men’s underwear brand, Modus Vivendi.

By Jeff

We all own many pair of underwear that we like because of the way they look or feel on us.  After all, who doesn’t want to look good and feel comfortable?  But there’s a certain niche that’s lacking from many of our wardrobes – a niche that combines comfort, sex appeal and a healthy dose of FUN.  This is the niche that Modus Vivendi’s new Festive Line of briefs, boxer briefs/trunks and jockstraps successfully fills.

For those of you not familiar with Modus Vivendi…they are a Greek menswear company that focuses primarily on designing underwear.

Combining comfortable materials with low-rise styling and fun details, the Festive line is designed for the man who is confident enough to wear something bold and different.  This isn’t your everyday underwear that will go unnoticed when someone sees you in them.  Instead, it draws attention and adds levity.

For this line, Modus Vivendi used a velvety material that is a cotton/polyester blend.  I tried three pair.  The Rock Velvet Brief and Velvet Stars Brief are both 80% cotton / 20% Polyester.  And the Bon Bon Mini Brief is 65% Cotton / 35% Polyester.  The fabric is quite soft and comfortable.  It’s also somewhat thicker than usual, so I wouldn’t recommend wearing them on a hot summer day or with tight jeans that can reveal underwear lines.

The Rock Velvet Brief has a gold stripe with pyramid-shaped studs going down the pouch, the Velvet Stars Brief has 5 stars of various sizes embroidered on the front, and the Bon Bon Mini Brief (available in fuchsia, orange and yellow) has bikini styling and a strip of elastic that runs vertically up the seat, showing the separation of the cheeks.

All three pair that I tried offer a sexy, low-rise cut and a pouch that provides ample support.  I found them to be comfortable, soft to the touch and well made.  And frankly, it was fun wearing them.  So will I get much use out of them?  I will definitely wear the two pair of briefs (I really want to go to a toga party and wear a pair of white Rock Velvet Briefs underneath!), but must admit that I need more of a bubble butt in order to look my best in the Bon Bon Mini Brief.

I would categorize the Festive line as either special occasion underwear to be worn on dates that you expect to turn fun or “mood improvement” underwear to be worn when you need to add some liveliness to your day.  All in all, this is a welcome addition to my underwear drawer!

Malaysia’s in the house, guys!

Don’t be surprised – this is the country that has already brought us other high-end men’s underwear brands such as Private Structure.

Now it’s time to familiarize yourself with Quarter Homme Bodywear, a new men’s underwear brand determined to show that Asia too should be considered a serious player in the game of men’s underwear fashion.

Quarter’s ranges are centered around basic low-rise briefs, trunks and square cuts in solid colors. In short, timeless and classic designs.

Price-wise, the brand is positioned favorably with briefs starting at around $17 USD.

There’s even a couple of swimwear styles available, too.

Quarter is doing the right things to promote their spring/summer 2012 range. They published a high-quality runway video which you can watch below. Also, you can check out a bunch of their styles below the video.
