Equmen - A Review

Performance underwear has long been a staple in the men's underwear world, but recently there has been a push towards making performance wear also stylish.  These new ideas for men's performance underwear are represented by the Equmen collection.  Specially designed with a precision fit to give you the ultimate in support and performance, Equmen helps keep you comfortable while working out or just hanging at the office.  Equmen is most noted for their core precision undershirts that help support your core and reduce back pain and stress.  Today, however, I will be reviewing their precision brief (I tried a blue one). 

These things fit like a glove.  These low-rise briefs are streamlined and well fitted.  There are no extra seams or stitches, they've taken the brief back to the basics in terms of construction.  Upon first glance, the fabric looks as though it's not going to be very comfortable.  It has a very sexy sheen, but it looks thick and artificial.  But don't let that fool you, this fabric is soft and stretchy.  It is a blend of nylon, micropolyester, and spandex.  It breathes well and has wicking performance to keep you dry all day long now matter how hard you're working.  The rear has a special vent to help keep you dry where you tend to sweat the most (right in the lower back above your crack). The fabric here has a slightly different stitch, but you won't notice it unless you're looking for it.  The fabric is design to stretch and pull in a way that works with your anatomy to keep everything optimally supported and in place.  The contoured pouch is double layered and has a seam down the middle and two on the sides.  It expands well when needed, but holds everything in place as well. 

These briefs are very basic looking, but there is a sophisticated style about them.  They aren't just your everyday, boring briefs.  They come in blue, black, gray, and white.  There is a line of accent color on the waistband (the blue ones have a white band).  There is no writing on the waist, instead it is kept plain and simple - sophisticated.  Centered, in the back of the waistband is a logo patch that is very sexy and stylish peeking above your pants. As I already noted, the fabric has a slight sheen to it that makes these things not just your average briefs. 

I have had these for quite some time now, and have worn them many times.  In fact, they're one of my go-to pairs, especially on hot days or when I know I'm going to be doing some physical activity.  I like them because they keep me dry and comfy, and they're just easy - effortless style.  That being said, I've washed them many times and they are holding up beautifully.  There is only slight pilling starting to happen on the waistband after almost a year of wear, so that's pretty good. And they should be too, because these things run in a little high at $50 a pair.  But that being said, these are performance underwear, which usually runs a little more than regular undies.  These are good quality undies that will hold up well under pressure - and we all need a pair like that sometimes.  So if you're willing to pay a little more for performance wear that's gonna hold up well and last, these are the pair for you.  They also make trunks and long trunks if you prefer those styles instead.  Personally I like my legs to be a little more free when working out that's why I opt for these briefs. 

MY RATING:
Overall, I give the Equmen Briefs a total score of 8 based on the following criteria:
FIT -- 10 (out of 10) - Stripped down to the basics.  Well fitted and low-rise. 
COMFORT -- 9 (out of 10) - Surprisingly comfortable fabric.  Keeps you dry with wicking performance. 
STYLE -- 8 (out of 10) - Basic and sophisticated. 
QUALITY -- 9 (out of 10) - Holds up great after a long time, only slight pilling on waistband. 
VALUE -- 6 (out of 10) - Expensive but good quality.

Another Chance to Get in an Actor's Pants

A while back I told you about a contest to win actor Paul Cram's undies just by answering a few simple questions in his quiz.  Well, he's at it again and this time he has some fun, Halloween-ey pairs up for grabs. Once again, you just have to answer a few simple questions on his site.  Check it out!  And be sure to check out Paul's awesome Flickr stream while you're at it. 

New Brand: Good Devil

Just in time for Halloween we bring you Good Devil.  What's better than dressing up as a devil?  Dressing up as a Good Devil.  This fun new brand combines a little bit of naughty with a little bit of nice.  Good Devil is known for their sheer and sexy styles that leave very little to the imagination.  You can get them at Underwear Station or Undergear. 

Preview Bikini

This relatively new brand, already has a number of collections to choose from.  Including the preview collection, which offers a little peek at what's inside your pouch by means of slits in the front.  The fabric has a metallic shine that adds that little extra oomph.  The preview comes in bikini (shown), boxer, g-string, and jockstrap styles.  

Another fun collection is the mesh print collection.  This collection, as you'd expect, is mesh.  You can either get it plain, or with fun tribal or dragon prints.  They come in red, blue, and white and an array of styles.  See model Levi Poulter strut his stuff in the mesh collection at the International Lingerie Show in the video at the end of this post.  More videos of Good Devil in action are available on Underwear Stations' YouTube channel. 

Propel Boxer with blue accents.

And finally, the last collection I want to talk about is the Good Devil Propel collection.  This collection is also made of mesh.  The whole collection is black mesh with red, white, or blue accents (your choice).  The colored accents are opaque and are carried out on the waistband and around the pouch (but the pouch still shows your junk).  You can get it in a brief, boxer or a thong.  

The Good Devil collection is super sexy and will bring out that little devil in the best of you.  It is perfect for the bedroom, but it is comfy enough that you definitely could wear it all day.  I have had the opportunity to try out some of this great collection, and so far I'm very impressed.  It is sexy and sophisticated, with quality materials so that it does not seem tacky or vulgar.  Stay tuned for a full review.  In the meantime you can purchase Good Devil from Underwear Station or Undergear for $12 - $30 depending on the style.  And at Undergear take 20% off your purchase for being a MUB reader using coupon code 'UGOFF4'.

Contest Update: More Entry Options

So a few of you have expressed some concerns about the aussieBum My Favorite Day Contest entry being too complicated.  So we've added some additional entry options to make it easier for you.  We want to see as many of you winning as possible!  In addition to submitting a photo of underwear (with or without you) that demonstrates your favorite day of the week, you can also:

Can You See My Bum in This Gear? - A Review

Bum Gear Mesh T-shirt and Boxer.

Bum Gear is a great new brand of men's underwear. They are probably most noted for their extensive mesh line, which I am going to review today.  It comes in a variety of vibrant colors and sexy styles.  They even have matching mesh t-shirts to complete the look.  For the purpose of today's review I'm going to discuss the Bum Gear briefs in royal blue.  

The fit of these briefs is quite skimpy.  The sides are high-rise, in fact there is even less side coverage on these than on the Bum Gear thongs.  These briefs also have a low-rise waist so there is not much coverage on either end.  The back is full and fitted while the pouch is large and gives you ample room to show off your junk.  Bum Gear promotes the pouch as being "HUGE", but don't worry, it's not too big that you'll be just flapping around.  It is spacious compared to most low-rise briefs, but it is tailored in such a way that you are still going to get all the support you need from it. 

I'm actually quite impressed with how comfortable these things are.  They're made out of 94% polyester and 6% spandex, so they don't sound like they'd be too comfortable.  But they actually are.  Like I said, the pouch provides all the support you need and cups your manhood perfectly.  It holds you so that you look impressive, but it isn't ridiculous either.  Now because these things are made out of mesh, they keep you cool.  But don't think these are good for athletics.  While they do allow air to flow, they do not actually wick away in moisture so if you get all sweaty these are not going to be comfy.  That being said, I'm impressed with how comfortable this mesh actually is.  It is a super-fine knit so that it feels soft against your skin and isn't abrasive to the touch. 

The style of these is quite out there and in your face.  With these you'll have nothing to hide, or at least you better not because they won't hide it.  Don't be fooled, just because they are tinted various colors does not mean that they are in the least bit opaque.  These briefs allow every little bit of your fleshy parts to be seen (even more so than in the pictures).  I absolutely love this about them!  They are super sexy.  These undies are great to spice up the mood in the bedroom, but they're also comfortable enough that you can wear them all day and not have to change into them before bed.  While these are the epitome of sexy, they are not vulgar, and that's why I like them.  Oftentimes so-called sexy underwear looks like you're getting ready to do a pornshoot or are about to host a fetish party.  But not these.  While they could be appropriate for those occasions, Bum Gear has managed to make mesh look really classy.  I think part of it is the wide, normal-sized, logo waistband.  These look just like your normal pair of briefs, but they've been sexed about a bit with the choice of fabric.  

These briefs are really well made.  They stretch in all the right ways, but they keep their shape.  The fabric is very fine and delicate looking, but it actually holds up perfectly in the washing machine (line dry of course).  For $24 a piece, this sexy little number is worth every penny.  They are fun and comfortable to wear, they look great, and they're super sexy. While the blue that I got is currently out of stock, there are many other great colors to choose from.

MY RATING:
Overall, I give the Bum Gear Mesh Briefs a total score of 9 based on the following criteria:
FIT -- 9 (out of 10) -High-rise legs with low-rise waist make for a skimpy fit.  Special contoured pouch.
COMFORT -- 9 (out of 10) - Considering these are made of all artificial fibers, they are surprisingly comfortable and soft. 
STYLE -- 9 (out of 10) - Epitome of sexy, but not vulgar.
QUALITY -- 9 (out of 10) - Looks delicate, but is actually durable. 
VALUE -- 7 (out of 10) - Expensive but sexy.

aussieBum: My Favorite Day Contest

Today I'm pleased to announce the launch of our aussieBum contest.  Yes the one I hinted at on Friday.  You may remember a while back I blogged about the new aussieBum MyDay collection.  Well only Monday and Tuesday are out for the public.  But aussieBum is giving MUB readers the exclusive opportunity to get their hands on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday pairs before they're released.  

In the past we've done all sorts of different methods for having you enter contests.  But this time we're gonna do it a little different.  We want YOU to be more creative.  And what about the number of winners?  Well that all depends on how many great entries you guys submit.  We will be giving away at least 6 pairs, but who knows, we may decide to give out more.  

Here's what you have to do.  In keeping with the MyDay collection, we want you to choose your favorite day of the week, be it Friday, Saturday, or something in the middle of the week, and we want you to take a picture involving underwear that evokes your feelings about that day.  You do not have to be wearing the underwear, but it has to be in the picture.  And then we want a sentence or two explaining why it is your favorite day and how the picture relates.  For example, Wednesday might be your favorite day because you get to go home early and make love with your spouse all night.  So you may want to take a picture of your sexy undies thrown across a romantic bed covered in rose petals and candles.  That's just an idea, I know you guys can think of many more.  Once you've taken your photo, send it and the paragraphs to me via email (underwearblog - at - gmail.com) and be sure to make the subject line include "My favorite day".  

Update 10/27/10: There are two new entry methods

• Submit a photo of you in your favorite pair of underwear and tell us why it's your favorite.
• Or you can comment on a post on this site from the past three months.  Be sure to include the words "MyDay Contest Entry" at the end of your post so we know that's what you're doing.  Then send us an email with a link to your comment for it to count.  Be sure to write something thoughtful as they will be judged qualitatively, not selected randomly. 

You may only do one entry and one entry method per day.

The better the entries are, the more pairs we will be giving away.  The contest will end at Midnight on Halloween, October 31, 2010 November 7, 2010.  So send your entries in before that or you might turn into a pumpkin! 

Now just a few technical details:

-No exposed bits (we have to be able to post these on the site)

-There will be at least six winners.
-MUB and aussieBum reserve the right to change the rules as needed.

Edward Scissorhands Wears Sheer Undies - A Piece of Underwear Prose

Intymen Mesh Brief.

Today I bring you a little piece of underwear inspired fiction from a guest poster. It's written by Tony from Underwear-Addict. You may remember the site name from back when it used to be an e-commerce site. Tony has since taken it over and it is now informative only. I thought this piece was especially appropriate to publish now with Halloween only a week away. It's a fictitious piece about Edward Scissorhands and the sheer underwear that he uses to cover his piece. For more great articles like this one, be sure to check out Tony's great site. Enjoy!

To off set the weight of his top-heavy shears, Edward Scissorhands keeps his bottom light in a pair of mens sheer underwear.

Edward Scissorhands knows the importance of dressing sharp while playing it safe below the belt with his soft fleshy side tucked safely inside a pair of mens sheer underwear.

Delicate yet durable, his pliable synthetic parts require comfort and support contrary to his heavy metal hands. Unwieldy and clumsy, his hands have trouble in grasping the practical and mundane. With difficulty, Edward negotiates his way through a day saddled by the weight of his daggered destiny, lightening his load in a pair of sheer underwear.

Stretchable, supple, yet sturdy, and tough, Edward’ s men sheer underwear attains the same perfection as one of his pruned topiary perennial shrubs. That’ s why Edward never leaves home without his softer side set comfortably snug in a pair of sheer undies.

The ladies simply adore Edward’ s haircutting expertise, as well as his sense of style, and have taken a shine to his silver glossy hands. If only they got a gander at his gentle genitalia below his heavy-handed shears, they’ d also take a shine to the slick perfected form inside his sheer underwear especially when sheathed in a pair of sexy see-through briefs.

In one respect, Edward would like his underwear to be similar to his scissor hands – his underwear must always look sharp and be on the cutting edge of fashion. As his hedge creations take on many shapes and forms, so does Edward’ s mens sheer underwear, which comes in boxers, briefs, and mesh swing thongs, as well as more enticing styles to adore.

Soft, breathable, and freeing, sheer underwear offers Edward the flexibility to reach the top of a hedge to deftly create the flap of an elephant ear or bend low to recreate a large flat foot and five stubby toes.

Lightweight, nylon, micromesh, mens sheer underwear is machine washable unlike Edward’ s scissor hands, which require a delicate hand wash. Such is the irony that exists in the parallel world between one man’ s flesh and scissor hands.
