Nils Bohner underwear – inspirational pictures
May 17th, 2012Last week Jeff reviewed a number of items from the Nils Bohner men’s underwear collection. And he liked what he saw (and wore!).
We wanted to dig up some more inspiring photos featuring this up-and-coming German underwear brand. Who knows, before we know it they could be the new AUDI brand of the underwear fashion industry.
The pictures feature a bunch of cuts which will satisfy fans of trunks/briefs/square cuts, and indeed everyone who loves a proper pair of low-rise underwear.
I think we’ve mentioned this before, but there’s something quite stylish about the mythologically-looking waistbands. They seem to be inspired by Greek frieze art. We truly appreciate subtle artistic references like that in men’s underwear.
Nils Bohner (love that name) sell for about $26-$33 USD and you can get a fair selection over at the German web shop www.underwear-city.de.
Enjoy the pics.

No Comments »Nils Bohner: An Xpress Review by Guys’ Underwear Blog
May 10th, 2012By Jeff
I love it when I try something on and it fits really well. That’s exactly what I experienced recently when I tried on two pair of underwear from Nils Bohner. Never heard of Nils Bohner? He’s a German designer who aptly uses the following slogan for his company: “Mediocrity is not our standard.”
According to Nils Bohner’s website, the two pair I tried are from the FRESH Basic and FRESH CULT Basic collections (even though some other websites refer to them by names such as mini pant and greca). Both are constructed from a stretchable, thin yet durable fabric that’s 86% polyamid and 14% elastane and they’re available in a wide array of vibrant colors.
FRESH Basic Hipster: This low-rise underwear comfortably hugs your curves and fits incredibly well. They’re available in many colors from fun and bold magenta and orange to safe colors like blue and black. Personally, I opt for the safer colors that I know I’ll get more use out of, but it’s always nice to have the option of purchasing something bolder.
The entire pair (fabric and stitching) is uniform in color with the exception of the very small black, yellow and white brand label that is affixed to the front of the waistband. And the waistband is very thin, which accentuates the sex appeal of the low-rise cut. It also bears mentioning that the front pouch is designed to accommodate and accentuate all sizes.
FRESH CULT Basic Hipster: This pair is similar to the FRESH Basic Hipster, but comes with a waistband that has a Greek design pattern on it. While still a low-rise cut, it’s slightly less low-rise than the FRESH Basic Hipster.
If you like a very form-fitting hipster/trunk design, both the FRESH Basic and FRESH CULT Basic styles are a very good choice.
| What | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Style and look? | Hipster/trunk styling with a very form-fitting look. |
| Suitable for? | Suitable for everyday wear. |
| Fit and quality? | Well-constructed underwear with a body-hugging fit. |
| Is the price right? | They sell for about $26-$33, which is appropriate. |
| Best thing about it? | The fit. |
| Overall grade | ★★★★☆ |

Introducing Todd Sanfield men’s underwear – See the pictures
April 1st, 2012Today we bring you more news from the forefront of men’s underwear fashion.
We’ve been looking into one of Jason Sutherland’s underwear endeavors, a brand called Todd Sanfield.
If you’re unfamiliar with Jason, you should know that this the man who originally made super brands like Ginch Gonch, LazzyBum and Piss & Vinegar what they are today.
Anyway, he also has Todd Sanfield in his staple, and from what we’ve seen so far, there’s much to like. The undies have a clear high-end feel to them. Classy, elegant and most of all sensual can best describe the look and tone of the line. The line is made with high-quality cotton and each pair of underwear is personally designed and inspired by the designer Todd’s unique sense of style and character.
The range includes briefs and boxer briefs in various, solid colors. Todd Sanfield briefs start at around $22 USD, boxer briefs are $24.
The pictures are from DNA and feature male underwear model, Donte Dean.
Check out the entire range and buy the undies over at toddsanfieldunderwear.com.

March 16th, 2012For a long time now Aware Soho has been one of our absolute favorite men’s underwear brands from Great Britain.
Every brand has their own niche feature that they do extremely well. And sure, Aware Soho are great quality and a proper fit, but it’s their waistband designs – we think – that are one of the most distinct features.
And so it is also the case with their just-released Jubilee underwear collection which we already posted about last year (see pictures here).
Now that the range is out, Aware Soho has supplied us with three videos from the photo shoot sessions for the new range. And of course, we had to share with you guys. Check it out below.
Briefs from Aware Soho is usually $33.60 USD. Shop at www.awaresoho.com.

David Beckham Bodywear Trunks: An Xpress Review by Guys’ Underwear Blog
March 15th, 2012By Jeff
David Beckham Bodywear is a range of boxer briefs, trunks and briefs – available in black, white or gray – that can only be purchased at H&M. If you’ve seen the television commercial, which features an incredibly fit Mr. Beckham wearing nothing but his underwear, you probably understand why I’ve been looking forward to reviewing the products. Of course, he’d probably look fantastic no matter what he wore, so I wanted to get a pair and see for myself what they’re really like.
For this review, I tried a pair of solid black trunks. They’re constructed from a fabric that’s 95% cotton and 5% elastane, which provides a soft cotton feel and allows for a little stretch. One of the first things I noticed when I took the pair out of the cardboard box was the understated marketing on the product itself.
It’s almost standard industry practice to feature brand names in large fonts on waistbands, but these trunks just have one small rectangle of a brand label (black label with white lettering) sewn into the front of the waistband. This places more of an emphasis on the underwear and less on the brand.
Then I tried them on and found that they fit me like a glove. They were comfortable all around and I felt that I looked good wearing them. Most designer underwear these days offer front pouches and those pouches range from a little extra room for comfort to size enhancement. These trunks are in the former category, so they provide some room in the front for comfort, but don’t showcase a large bulge. So you can wear these to work with flat-front pants without worrying that you’re showing too much of yourself to the office :)
I ended up wearing these to work and the gym and I felt comfortable in them all day. They’re durable, well-designed and well-constructed. One odd feature is that there are four tags sewn stacked on top of each other in the back of the waistband that list the materials and washing instructions in several different languages. But because these tags are quite thin, they didn’t itch. In fact, I couldn’t feel them at all.
So what’s my verdict? I’m surprised by how much I like these trunks. Because of the great comfort, style, quality, versatility and low price, I feel that David Beckham has scored a solid goal with these. 5 stars!
| What | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Style and look? | Solid black trunks with a high-end look. |
| Suitable for? | Suitable for everything…work, gym, dates. |
| Fit and quality? | They fit like a glove and are well-constructed from quality fabric. |
| Is the price right? | The low $14.95 USD price makes them quite accessible. |
| Best thing about it? | They look and feel great. |
| Overall grade | ★★★★★ |

February 8th, 2012Today we introduce you to a new underwear brand that we have yet to cover here at Guys’ Underwear Blog: Activeman. The brand was recently introduced over at Jockstrap Central – and it caught out interest.
Activeman is best known for it’s affordable traditional jockstraps. But it actually offers a much wider selection.
Now, if you wanna skip to the hot picture set, simply scroll down and enjoy the looks of male underwear model, Draven Torres. Don’t you just love those tattoos?
Take their Liberty Trunk, for instance. It is constructed of one of our favorite fabrics: Modal. Modal is a processed bio-based textile made from the beech tree. In many ways, a modal acts like cotton but with the advantages of rayon. It’s soft, smooth and breathes well. It is cool to the touch and very absorbent with a resistance to shrinkage. Modal is also less likely to fade or to form pills as a result of friction and stays soft through repeated washings. Of course, our favorite feature of modal is simply it’s stretchability and it’s nature to expand adapting to anything that may pop up!
The Activeman Sports Brief is constructed of a sturdy but stretchy cotton with a touch of Elastane. The fully formed and roomy ergonomic 3d pouch ensures the utmost in comfort for a guy. And though it has no lift functionality per say, the pictures below don’t lie: This underwear will make the most of your bulge.
As for price, Activeman is extremely affordable. The Liberty Trunk is only $14.95 and comes in both white and black. The Sports Brief is only $12.95 and comes in black, white and grey. If you’re looking for the perfect everyday underwear that’s totally affordable, stylish, comfortable and built to last then we think we’ve found it for you with the newly launched Activeman Underwear now at Jockstrap Central.

January 25th, 2012How is it that I only recently discovered 2Wink Australia? This brand, which was founded in 2005, offers several lines of fun and attractive underwear and swimwear and ships to over 30 countries. I should also mention that they offer free shipping!
For this review I wore three samples, all of which are made from a comfortable fabric that’s 92% cotton and 8% spandex.
80’s Trunk
These are a fusion of the fun of the 80s and the technology of today. This pair features some cool retro elements with the pink and blue horizontal stripes in the waistband and pink in the leg opening. But everything else is a product of modern fabric, fit and style.
It’s styled in a way that offers support in the front and comfortably hugs the back. And the fit is a pleasant surprise – frankly, it makes my butt look great. Somehow, the fabric shows separation in the cheeks without giving a full wedgie.
Sure, you can feel the fabric pressing between your cheeks, but I didn’t find it to be uncomfortable. Instead, I found these trunks to be sexy and fun.
Candy Brief
These come in pink, green and yellow. I must admit that when I saw the pair of pink underwear in the package, I didn’t expect to like them. But I was so wrong. I wore them to work yesterday and was impressed by the all-around level of comfort and style.
In fact, I kept forgetting that I had them on… Yes, they’re that comfortable! The fabric is ultra-soft and the fit is sexy. They adjusted to my body and I never felt any tightness or pulling. If I had to change one thing about them it would only be to reduce the font size of the brand name on the waist band. But that’s probably just a personal thing.
Hung Downunder Brief
Offering a lower rise than the Candy Briefs, the Hung Downunder Briefs come with a contour pouch that in the words of 2Wink “support any size man in comfort”. They come in black, but you can choose a waistband that has the brand name written in either red, blue or green. They’re almost as comfortable as the Candy Briefs and are a great choice for guys who prefer the sex appeal of low-rise, but aren’t looking for bold colors.
| What | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Style and look? | All of the styles I tried offered a healthy amount of sex appeal. |
| Suitable for? | Suitable for everyday wear, workouts and dates. |
| Fit and quality? | The fit of each line is different, but all are comfortable (The Candy Brief is the most comfortable). High quality fabric and construction. |
| Is the price right? | The 80’s Trunk sells for $22.19 USD, the Candy Brief is $20.34 USD and the Hung Downunder Brief is $21.23 USD. Considering the quality and the FREE SHIPPING, the price is right. |
| Best thing about it? | For me, the best thing about the 80’s Trunk was the cut. For the Candy Brief it was the comfort and for the Hung Downunder Brief it was the low-rise. |
| Overall grade | ★★★★☆ A solid 4 star score. Great job 2Wink! |
