Greg's Selections
You may remember the UB/Mensuas contest. And you may remember the winner, Greg P from New York City. You may also remember that he promised to keep us posted on what he bought with his winnings. Well here's the list of what he purchase at Mensuas:
Purple Male Power Band Jock Strap
- Black Andrew Christian Fedelis Brief
(shown) - Black Andrew Christian Pirate Booty Bikini (no longer available at Mensuas, but you can get it here at International Jock)
- And as a little treat for himself since he was already on the site and they were having a sale, he bought the N2N X5 swimmer.
Thank you Greg, what great choices. We may be seeing Greg's thoughts about these items in the near future.
A Jock Review by a Jock
Hey Guys,
This is a test guest review by Chandler. If you guys like what he writes, let me know and he may become a full-time reviewer. Here's a bit of information about this jock boy:
This year he’ll be starting his senior year of high school in backwoods Kentucky. He does a lot of traveling, and whenever he's on vacation he likes to pick up new underwear or swimwear. At his high school he plays varsity soccer, swimming, and track, "I’m a bit of an athlete" he says. But he's also known for his sense of style, "I’m a sucker for really good underwear, and I feel its less important the price, and more important how the underwear makes you feel. I love to wear swim briefs, and whenever its swimming season, my teammates are always amazed by the new 'speedos' I wear. My friends are always asking me for advice on what to wear, so I guess I’m a little obsessive about what I wear." Well there you have it, so without further ado I give you Chandler's review.
I once read somewhere that N2N should attach a label to all their products saying "Shave your pubes" and from the very moment I put on the N2N Tropic jock I found this statement to be true, this jock is truly low-rise. N2N Bodywear has long been know for its innovative designs and use of fabrics, and this one definitely does not come up short on either. This jock is designed using slim straps and their Tropics fabric, which is part rayon and part spandex. This makes the jock very light and breathable, and allows the fabric to contour to you. It has a certain way of just gently cupping, and giving the right amount of support. This isn't your old school jock either; I am an athlete in every sense of the word I run three miles a day and play four varsity sports at my high school, so I would say I'm used to wearing a jock, although in recent years I have opted for compression shorts for support, but when its 90 degrees outside a jock seems much more comfortable. I found that the N2N was not only supportive, it was the most comfortable (and sexy) jock I have ever worn. I am a big believer that a jock is not only for sports but should also be comfortable enough to wear as regular underwear. So I found that after wearing this one for several days, and washing it nightly, that I have no complaints with anything about this jock. During the day I often forgot I was even wearing one, which I feel is a sign of great underwear. Before wearing this one I was afraid of how my jeans would feel against my bare behind, (I personally have never worn a thong, and prefer full coverage in the rear) but I actually think that was one of my favorite parts of this jock. I put the jock to the ultimate challenge by wearing it to a soccer scrimmage. Normally stuff wants to fall out, but with the N2N everything down there stayed in place. When running down the field everything held tight, and unlike jocks with wider straps the N2N didn’t constrict any leg movement. My only complaint on this jock is after several washes the straps in the back started to stretch, and caused the front to sag as well, which allowed for bunching right between the legs.
All in all this is the best jock that I've worn, it is a great value, and I have now converted from a true compression shorts follower to a faithful jock-strap wearer. Whether you are an athlete or not, this is definitely one of the most comfortable pieces of underwear you could ever add to your collection. And don't forget to shave your pubes (if you're wearing this one).

Summer Swimwear Series Poll

As a part of the summer swimwear series I have decided to poll you guys about what you guys like to wear to the beach. The poll can be found in the left-hand column below the ads. I have had polls on this blog in the past, but this poll is special because it is part of Blogger. But not just any Blogger, it's part of the new Blogger Draft. So it is a test and may have some bugs in it. But please take it and hopefully it will work fine.
Also, I am out of ideas for the Summer Swimwear Series. So if you have any questions about swimwear that you have just been dying to ask, please ask them. Or if you have other ideas, let me know about those as well.

UB reviewed by Chatty Chicka
Hello. UB recently got reviewed by Chatty Chicka over at "So Many Blogs, So Little Time!". The girls over there specialize in doing reviews of blogs. Anyway, CC initially gave UB a very raving review (an 8). But then she retracted her review saying she "must have been on crack the day [she] reviewed it". She then went through again and gave it another review and proclaimed this blog as "CRAP" and something that only a gay man "would give a rat's f*** about...".
Why do I tell you this? Well I think it is very rude to retract a review and I believe that Chatty Chicka totally missed the point of this blog.
I encourage and ask you to please head on over and read her review and then post a comment in the comments section setting her straight on a thing or two. Please guys, I'd really like her to get this right. Let's make this their most commented review ever, and maybe she'll just have to retract her retraction.

What you can do to achieve 'package' enhancement in swimwear.



Finally, let's say you really love a particular swimsuit but it just does not create a flattering package. Well there still might be hope thanks to WildmanT's Ball Lifter. The folks at WildmanT actually recommend the Ball Lifter Sport as a potential enhancer for wearing underneath swimwear.
I hope that you found this entry informative and helpful. As always, I welcome your comments on this post.

Summer Swimwear Series Part 1


In recent years boardshorts have gained popularity as the swimsuit of choice among the young. But the problem is, these garments are debateably not even swimwear. Most swimwear has some sort of lining to help give you that extra support and protection. But boardshorts are one layer with no mesh lining inside. The upside to this is that one can wear whatever one wishes underneath them, but the question is 'what should you wear?' Well, it depends on what you will be doing in these boardshorts. Boardshorts are oftentimes worn just as normal shorts in the summer. If you are just going to wear them around town and you are not going to be going in the water, I'd recommend that you wear whatever underwear you normally wear underneath your shorts. But if you are planning on taking the shorts in the water (or even out on the water in a boat) then I'd recommend that you wear something else. Here's why. Most underwear is made of cotton or some other fabric that does not dry quickly, therefore if the boardshorts (and then your underwear) get at all wet it will take forever for the underwear to dry and you will just be wet and miserable for a few hours. I do not recommend that you just wear boardshorts by themselves because they have no supportive liner and they have a tendency to fall off when coming out of the water. Therefore, I recommend that you wear supportive swimwear underneath the boardshorts, like a swim brief (commonly referred to as a Speedo) or a swim trunk. It will look like you are just wearing some sort of underwear, but you will not have to worry about being wet and miserable. Also, as an added bonus, you could take off the boardshorts and just go swimming in the suit underneath if you have a change of heart. Now this brings us to when one should wear boardshorts. Boardshorts are rather big and bulky so they are not ideal for actual swimming or competitive swimming. They are fine for just hanging around in the pool though. Also, if you just want to lounge around on the beach or the boat or go surfing, then boardshorts are perfect. In future posts I will be talking about what swimwear to wear for different swimming situations, but for now that's the lowdown on boardshorts. Keep in mind, this is all just my opinion so feel free to not follow my advice. I am very eager to hear your opinions on boardshorts in the comments section of this entry.

I got the idea when I saw this kid proudly holding a pair of fighter plane undies in Big W. I thought they looked pretty cool and wished they came in men's sizes. So bounced the idea off a few mates who agreed with me and so i started doing my research. I wanted to put the fun back into wearing undies.
I was only 22 at the time, 23 now, and i came to the conclusion that I'd need money to start this thing up and like any person my age – i had none.
A few weeks later I entered a competition called 'Nescafe BigBreak' – for young people with big ideas. Anyway, my idea made it through to the final 14 of 4,500 people from Australia and New Zealand. From that i won a little cash to get things started.
So I scrimped and saved and designed a few pairs, then got my first order made.
I received my first shipment late Jan this year and have been selling ever since. I've got a few stores around Australia, plus the website.

2(x)ist models serve New Yorkers free coffee!


They were right! The following are some of the humorous responses from New Yorkers who were in high spirits with the sight of beautiful men in underwear first thing in the morning:

· “Forget the free coffee, talk about a FREE show!” exclaimed another woman.
· “The coffee isn’t the only thing that’s steaming hot out here!” screamed another.

Sorry I didn't let you know about this sooner. But hopefully some of you local New Yorkers had a chance to see this. If you did, please share your story in the comments section.
