Georgia Dude Reviews Good Devil's Net Jockstrap

Georgia Dude in his Good Devil Mesh Jock.

Hello guys! It's been a while. Today I'm reviewing the Good Devil Net Jockstrap. Now, I must admit that I'm relatively new to the world of jockstraps; I didn't get my first pair until back in October/November. I've come to really enjoy them. Also, I must admit that I don't work out (like, ever), so I'm extremely thankful for high metabolism. Anyway, here you go...

Talk about scandalous! Good Devil has taken what is already a barely-there style and made it even more "airy," as it were. When I first received this pair in the mail, I admit I was quite taken aback. Even I, who enjoys the more scandalous of underwear selections, was hesitant to attempt this pair. But I have given them a try and must say that I don't mind them. Here's the breakdown:

Fit: As far as fit goes, the Good Devil Net Jock fits just like any other jock. However, once you get past the jock-esque style, you will notice that the pouch is significantly smaller than most. In fact, the pouch has just enough space for "the boys" and nothing more. That's because this jock is definitely not meant to be worn as a protective piece but rather as a way to "spice things up."

Comfort: This jockstrap is especially good for the man who likes the "barely there" feel. In fact, this jockstrap is the closest to commando I've ever been while still wearing underwear. It literally feels like I have nothing on. The mesh pouch makes it seem like my "boys" are just "hanging loose." (Forgive me for the cheesy word choices). And, of course, there's the typical jockstrap open back. The only negative thing I have to say is that the straps can become a little tight by the end of a long day, but nothing extremely uncomfortable.

Style: This is the first mesh material I've ever worn, so I can't say much as far as that goes. This jockstrap is available in four colors: red, black, blue, and white. The Good Devil logo is displayed on the black waist band in the same color as the mesh material.

Value: This jockstrap goes for $21.00 on the Good Devil website. Personally, I can't see paying $21.00 for a garment of such little fabric. If it were cheaper, say around $15, I would definitely put forth the money and buy more of them.

Overall, I give the Good Devil Jockstrap a score of 9 out of 10 based on the following criteria:

Fit: 10/10 - nice "airy" feel

Comfort: 9/10 - only because the straps get a little tight by the end of the day

Style: 10/10 - vibrant color, simple design

Value: 8/10

Brief Boys Review K'Mando Pouch

Pouch
K'Mando
Avg. $20 US

Brief Boys Mitchell and Patton try the “three-chambered design” that holds your anatomy and “feels like nothing at all.”

Patton: I’m going to be frank and up front about this one. This is not clothing. This is a sex toy.

Mitchell: Well, I did manage to wear it for a day, but I can see what you mean. Honestly though, this is more functional than I thought it would be. I expected to put it on and immediately hate it, but I didn’t. The terrycloth material was extremely soft and comfortable. It was nice to be able to wear a pair of jeans with the sensation of going commando but without the scratchy feeling you get in a man-on-denim scenario. But it does have its obvious drawbacks, the largest being that it’s totally impractical. It takes several minutes of fiddling just to be able to put it back on, and I couldn’t imagine having to do this in a public restroom several times per day.

P: Fiddling, or reattaching?

M: The second drawback is that the fabric, while somewhat stretchy, isn’t nearly stretchy enough. Depending on a man’s physical makeup, the “one size fits all” approach is not going to work unless the fabric is far more flexible.

P: I’m pretty sure it’s just a sex toy.

M: And how did that work out for you?

P: Let’s just put it this way: the longer I tried to stuff myself into it, the less likely it was to fit. This isn’t something to wear to the office, or even to the bar. This is something to wear if you’re not allowed to touch yourself.

M: It is pretty snug on there, isn’t it? I expected that it would slip off, but it stays on securely.

P: Through all kinds of activities.

M: If you can actually manage to put it on.

BOTTOM LINE /  A fun idea, but one size does not fit all, or even most.

≪ Previous: Awesome Spring Sale at HisTrunks

Ken Wroy is a trendy new men's underwear line. Founded by Vasumathi Soundararajan, who has a background in fashion design, the collection is inspired by New York city's spirit of being bold, stylish and electrifying- which comes through in the funky designs and colors of the trunks. The collection has 7 designs for the 7 days and moods of the week.

Vasumathi tells us they launched in New York as a response to popular anecdotes. Too many (men and women) reported that their partners wore cool clothes and classy suits, but when that came off? Oh Horror! The men's underwear choices were so drab and predictable. They wanted to "fix" that by breaking up the monotony of boring men's undies. Now honestly we've heard this before, so it will be interesting to see what Ken Wroy brings that others haven't.

We think Ken Wroy has made a great start with their fun, funky prints. And we've got our hands on a pair and they are quite comfy, with oh-so-soft fabric. We are excited to see more from Ken Wroy soon. We think a brief is in order as we are often partial to that fit.

Babcock on my Cock - A Review

≫ Next: Socks and Undies from Ben Sherman on GILT today!

≪ Previous: No T No Shade - Andrew Christian on RuPaul

Today I'd like to tell you about a new brand and give you a little review. Babcock Bodywear was started by a guy who, as he tells me, has a bit of an underwear fetish (don't we all?). So he toured some factories of other companies and then went back to Hawaii (where he lives) and took some design classes. After spending months designing he was able to realize what is now Babcock Bodywear. They launched last summer with four main designs: boxerbriefs, briefs, jockstrap, and polyester/mesh briefs. They are currently only available online, but are hoping to be in stores with more styles later this year! Today I'm reviewing the polyester briefs - I have them in black with green.

The polyester briefs are basically big-holed mesh briefs. Think basketball/athletic short type material but with even larger holes. The fabric reads as mostly opaque with sort of small polka dots throughout, which are actually holes. While this certainly isn't an original idea, I like the panache that Babcock has with the styling of these briefs. Instead of just doing a simple black elastic trim on these, they've chosen to do a colorful green trim with a colorful white and pink waistband (there are other fun color combos as well). It makes them a lot fresher and sportier. They feel sporty while not seeming like something you'd actually wear for sports. These briefs come in four fun color combos!

The fit is pretty average. They're just your standard brief. I feel that the leg holes might be cut a little too large (especially in the smaller size I wear) - they're meant for someone with much larger thighs than I have. While this didn't happen, I felt as though I might fall out the leg holes at any moment. So I definitely wouldn't recommend these for something where you need a lot of support, but they're fine for daily wear. While the pouch is not lined, it has a functioning double-layered fly which serves a double purpose for modesty (the overlapping fabric makes it so that your manhood at least appears covered).

Now I know what you're thinking. Polyester briefs? Those must be itchy. Not at all in fact. They did a really great job with the fabric selection both for style and comfort. I didn't even realize these were polyester when I had them on until I went and read the site and label. The fabric is super lightweight, I had to check a couple times throughout the day to see if I still had them on. With the lightweight fabric and the holes I feel like these may become a go-to pair of briefs for me this summer. They'll be perfect to wear on those hot sticky days under a nice pair of shorts (lots of ventilation).

As for the value? The quality is great with lots of higher end detailing. But the $19 price point isn't ridiculous compared to some of the competition. I'd say these are definitely worth your investment for a fun, sporty pair of undies for knocking around in this summer.

MY RATING:
Overall, I give the Babcock Bodywear Polyester Briefs a total score of 8 based on the following criteria:
FIT -- 8 (out of 10) - Basic fit. Large leg holes, afraid I might fall out.
COMFORT -- 8 (out of 10) - Great, lightweight fabric perfect for summer wear. Fit issues.
STYLE -- 10 (out of 10) - Stylish and sporty take on the mesh brief.
QUALITY -- 9 (out of 10) - Good materials, held up well.
VALUE -- 9 (out of 10) - Well priced for the quality and detailing.

≪ Previous: Socks and Undies from Ben Sherman on GILT today!

Today I'll be reviewing a brand and style that I've worn for years. Life Brand's Bikini Briefs were the first pair of non-traditional briefs in my collection. I remember browsing through the underwear aisle at my local Walmart. (That's right, Walmart). This brand awakened me to the world of underwear outside of tighty whities and the high school mandatory boxers. Imagine my shock when I saw such little fabric in an underwear choice. Even after several years, I still wear these bikinis from time to time. They are made out of a very comfortable cotton. They are great for lounging around. I would not, however, recommend them for exercise or any sort of strenuous activity. They are very durable and hold up to wash after wash. I have had my pack of Life Bikini Briefs for around 5 years at this point, and they still look like they did the day I bought them.

Life Brand's Bikini Briefs come in a 5-pair pack. They can be found on the men's underwear aisle in most (if not all) Walmart stores. Each pack comes in an array of colors. (My pack came in blue, light blue, navy, orange/red, and white).

Perhaps the most notable feature of these bikinis is the affordability of them. You can get a 5-pair pack of Life Bikini Briefs for roughly $10. That's $10 for 5 pairs, not $10 per pair. The affordability of these underwear is perfect for the person who is just beginning to explore the world of underwear. They don't put much of a dent in the wallet and allow for experimentation with underwear choice without breaking the bank.

As far as fit goes, I wish that Life would take a little more care in that area. Their sizes don't really seem to be true to typical sizes. They run quite tight, but going up a size would be too large. I am normally a size small or medium, depending on the brand/style/etc. These bikinis are quite interesting in that there is very little fabric in the front (not much of a forgiving pouch; it doesn't hide anything or leave anything to the imagination), but there seems to be an excess of fabric in the rear. As you can see from the picture, they tend to bunch up in the rear from time to time. Additionally, the strings can become too snug after wearing them continuously.

Overall, I give the Life Bikini Briefs an 8 based on the following criteria:
Price: 10 out of 10 - you can't beat 5 pairs for $10
Fit: 7 out of 10 - could benefit from more accurate sizing and fabric cut
Comfort: 7 out of 10 - need more of a pouch, bunches up, strings become snug

The Pleasure X8 Cut
FU e=fu8 Underwear

Avg. $88 US

Brief Boys Mitchell and Patton review the Pleasure X8 Cut from e=fu8 Underwear, the brief that “Adam would have worn when banished from the Garden of Eden.” Stitched by hand in New York City, the Pleasure 8X Cut “feels like a perpetual caress.”

Mitchell: From a visual standpoint, this is a beautiful pair of underwear. The combination of the white fabric and the royal purple trim is a stylish contrast, and you might find people lingering on the waistband to try to read the equation.

Patton: To the eighth power indeed. They are gorgeous, and even the shape is unique. The designer calls it a cross between a low-rise brief and boyshorts, but it’s really just a very short trunk.

M: They’re definitely low-rise—possibly the most extreme low-rise article of clothing I’ve worn in a long time. If you’re looking for a pair of briefs to wear under your girlfriend’s ultra-low-rise skinny jeans, look no further.

P: That does belie some problems, however. Not the least of which being what your girlfriend doesn’t have but your boyfriend certainly does. There wasn’t a lot of room in here. I felt mashed up against myself throughout the entire day.

M: There isn’t that much pouch space is there? I think that’s just what you have to expect from a pair like this, though. You have to give up a little modesty. My pet peeve was the waistband material—the elastic was very course and scratchy, and I really wouldn’t have minded how low-rise these were if the waistband wasn’t riding the base of my shaft all day. I guess I expected higher quality materials from a brief with such a hefty price tag.

P: Agreed. I felt like a lot of adjusting was necessary, and this is probably why. I kept playing the “do I cover my ass or my pubes?” game. Which can be a fun game—just not at work, or when you’re at the chiropractor.

M: It’s a shame, too. I really loved the TLC that went into these. Each pair of e=fu8 is made by hand in New York. But from a production standpoint, they’re still a little rough around the edges. This pair was only worn twice and already one of the seams began to separate.

P: That is frustrating, I agree, because overall they really are sexy. Despite the lack of room—or possibly because of—they imbue an unexpected sensuality. Throughout the day I was very aware of how I felt, how others perceived me, etc. Even the non-functional fly adds to that allure—it feels like everything could just tumble out at any second, but it’s quite secure. It’s the kind of brief that makes you want to bend over and pick something off the floor.

M: Nothing wrong with that.

P: I certainly didn’t think so.

COMFORT /  Average

≪ Previous: Brief Boys Review E=FU8 Pleasure X8 Cut

I'm sure that all of us have thought at some point in our lives "I wish I were Mario Lopez" or "I wish I looked like Mario Lopez." (Please, someone tell me that it's not just me who's wished these things!) I always recognized his good looks growing up watching "Saved by the Bell," but it wasn't until I was in college and saw the "are you staring at my ass" episode of "Nip/Tuck" that I began to fully appreciate the beauty of Mario Lopez. All of this rambling leads me to today's review of Mario Lopez's Rated M brand, specifically the Rated M Elementary Brief in black.

These briefs are quite comfortable. They are made out of a cotton blend (it includes modal and spandex). This blend works together to provide not only comfort but a nice, airy feel. The fabric helps to wick away sweat that might accumulate throughout the day, which is an added bonus.

The fit of these briefs is quite nice. They are some of the most well-fitting briefs that I have worn. They fit snug but not tight. They are a very classic brief in that they are very full in the rear and the sides; they are not a "low rise" style brief. These are the type of brief that I could wear to do most any activity - from desk work to gym time. They stay put throughout the day, so there is no need to worry about them bunching up or chafing/discomfort from unexpected shifting. The leg holes, a major downfall in a lot of briefs, keep their elasticity over time. It's also very nice to know that fabric wasn't spared to lessen the quality of the briefs - there is just enough fabric to cover what they need to cover without there being too much fabric to result in bunching up. These briefs help me to feign the confidence to say, in Lopez's words, "are you staring at my ass?" (Now, I don't think I have that great of an ass, but hey, a fella can dream right?)

As far as style goes, they are nothing that hasn't been done before. They are very simple and straight-forward with the only distinguishing factors being the logo printed along the waistband along with the slogan "For manful men and their very special guests." On this particular pair, the briefs are black and the logo, etc. are white. The piping is also black, so it just blends in, giving the briefs a solitary color throughout. There is an interesting fly on the briefs, but it seems to be more for stylistic purpose than for practicality; it isn't enough of a fly for an average-sized guy to utilize, let alone those who are more well-endowed.

These briefs retail for around $16. They can be found at Freshpair. This price is not entirely unreasonable for a brief that fits so well and holds up so well.

Overall, I give the Rated M briefs a score of 8 out of 10 based on the following:

Comfort: 10 out of 10 - great fabric blend; doesn't bunch

Fit: 9 out of 10

Style: 7 out of 10 - nothing to make this brief stick out from others; awkward/pointless fly

Value: 9 out of 10 - great price, though not necessarily justified since they don't really distinguish from other pairs

Lederhosen Long Boxer Brief
Tu Felix
Avg. $39 US

Brief Boys Mitchell and Patton review the Lederhosen Long Boxer Brief from Tu Felix, which since 2008 has sought to “represent the pulse and tradition of Austria” with an eye toward contemporary culture.

Patton: These. Are. Cute.

Mitchell: Super cute. This is the first time I’ve ever wished that my underwear came with suspenders.

P: And a slice of schwarzwälder kirschtorte!

M: That’s German. Don’t you mean a sprig of edelweiss?

P: You ruin everything. Even The Sound of Music. But you get the idea.

M: Now I’m imagining Rolf wearing these lederhosen.

P: They’re seriously adorable. The little antlers on the waistband, the embroidery, and the dual access pouch in the front – you can’t not get all giggly.

M: I think the little pocket on the right leg is outstanding. Though it’s worth noting that this is only found on the longer version – the short boxer brief doesn’t have one.

P: They’re extremely comfortable, too. At least for several hours. Like all boxer briefs they start riding a little low on your thighs and need regular hoisting.

M: Really? I didn’t have any problems with that. I was pleasantly surprised by how much lift they have, actually.

P: I think that’s the pouch. I definitely felt at home in there, but not, you know, out on my own.

M: My only real complaint is the tag. I had them on for about ten minutes before I ran for the seam-ripper.

P: It’s unnecessarily scratchy, isn’t it? Like having a woodchip stuck in your waistband. The tag is definitely something our kleine Herren will want to cut out right away. The one thing that sort of bothered me – and that you can’t really fix – was that the back can make your butt look a little flat. But that’s not always the end of the world. Oh, and the pouch takes some getting used to – if you bend forward, anyone could peek right in. Keep an eye on that, I guess.

M: You mean both eyes?

P: The more the merrier.

M: Perhaps even the “eye toward contemporary culture?” Tu Felix has a large line of clothing – not only underwear – and they offer the Lederhosen Boxer Brief in a variety of colors (not just brown). Personally, I think they’ve succeeded in bringing Austrian traditions forward, yet still selling a wearable brief. If I ever get stripped searched at the airport in Vienna, this is what I plan to wear.

P: A planned strip search?

M: These will definitely make it into my regular rotation, is what I mean. I just wish there was a company making traditional Irish clothing this fun and sexy.

P: I don’t think kilt underwear would be all that functional. Or, you know, exist.

M: I’m not afraid to dream.

FIT /  Good
COMFORT /  Good
STYLE /  Excellent
QUALITY /  Excellent
VALUE /  Good

BOTTOM LINE /  A unique, fun style that’s surprisingly comfortable and functional – the best way to work lederhosen into your wardrobe.

Want to let your ass hang out this summer? Jockstraps have long been an option, but the sometimes tight straps and skimpy pouch don't always cut it. Enter the jock brief and jock boxer/trunk - you get the same bare feeling in the rear with a little more coverage up front. Today I'm going to review the Addicted brand jock boxer.

These jock boxers come in a number of different stylish colors. I tried the black one with a silver waistband - when your ass is hanging out you don't need to have lots of other things going on. They're rather simple in the front, they appear to be just a basic pair of trunks. But then you turn around and BAM, surprise! I really like the metallic silver waistband (which is only on the black pair). Although the graphic nature of the logo band is present on all the colors, which I really like. The other pairs are more colorful and funky, with contrast piping.

As for the fit of these undies, in the front they fit very much like a regular pair of trunks. Not too tight, but fitted. The legs are not very long and line up with the bottom of the pouch. The pouch itself is a simple contour pouch; it's not very large but the fabric does stretch so it never feels too tight. What I will say about the fit is the leg bands are made out of the same cotton fabric as the rest of the underwear, unlike a jockstrap's elastic straps. This means that the pouch is not held as it would be in a jock, but the extra fabric on the sides is more than adequate to hold things in place. If you do have larger balls and are sitting down, there is a potential for them to fall out the back a little bit; it depends on what you're wearing over the trunk and how tight it is. Overall, I personally find these quite comfortable. I barely even realized I'm wearing them. As with all ass-less underwear this is partly dependent on how comfortable/soft the jeans are that you wear. The fabric of the actual underwear is also soft as is the waistband. While not tagless like most underwear these days, the tag is placed on the right hip and goes unnoticed.

These hold up very well with repeated washings. Definitely made out of quality materials with attention to all the details. They are available from our friends at Vocla for $34, which is a reasonable price for a conversation piece like these. Especially if you get them in a more colorful version.

MY RATING:
Overall, I give the Addicted Jock Boxers a total score of 8 based on the following criteria:
FIT -- 9 (out of 10) - Basic trunk fit with a surprise in the back. Small pouch and potential for larger balls to fall out.
COMFORT -- 10 (out of 10) - Comfortable fabric and waistband. Forgot I was wearing them.
STYLE -- 8 (out of 10) - Depends on the color you buy. Looks like a pair of fairly basic trunks until you turn around. Great graphic waistband.
QUALITY -- 9 (out of 10) - Good materials, held up well.
VALUE -- 8 (out of 10) - Reasonable price for something so unique, but also a little spendy.

Watch this video from the New York times about a shift in men's underwear advertising. They discuss a shift from the hyper-sexualized male ideal to a more relatable guy in underwear advertisements. Have you noticed this shift? I think I've definitely seen a change in some underwear advertising recently. The ads are more quarky and fun and not as much about the sex. But then again look at Andrew Christian; the sex is definitely still out there. The truth is and always has been, sex sells. So sure maybe some companies are switching up underwear ads, but does it work? What sells you (or doesn't sell you) on underwear when you're shopping? Let's get the conversation rolling boys.

(jock·strap - noun - ˈjäkˌstrap)

"A support or protection for the male genitals, worn esp. by athletes."

And also an exceedingly fucking sexy undergarment choice. (This added definition has not yet been approved by Merriam-Webster.)

The jockstrap has come a long way since its inception in 1874 by the Bike Company (who still manufactures jockstraps to this very day)! Originally designed for bicyclists and, as stated above, largely worn for athletic purposes, we have since reaped the benefits of the growing popularity and selection of the "fashion jockstrap."

Almost every major underwear designer now has a collection of jockstraps to choose from. And some exceptionally rad companies have been popping up in recent years putting extra emphasis on their jocks, such as the glory that is New York-based company Nasty Pig (which was also my nickname in college.... Okay, that's not true, but I wish it was).

I encourage every man, gay or straight, to own at least a few jockstraps. Straight men should be aware that there are a slew of women in the world who love seeing a man's ass in a jockstrap or a thong and will squeeze and slap it with more zeal than the gruffest rugby player after a victory.

Not only do they look hot, but they can also offer great support. They can bring that package you're undoubtedly so in love with front and center. I find that C-in2 and DT do the trick on this one magically well. And jockstraps can also offer a bit of lift to those cheeks of yours.

Jockstraps are also a wonderful choice to make during the hotter times of year. It obviously allows for a lot more breathability. Especially if you get one that's made of mesh. Andrew Christian's mesh air jock with "show-it technology" is one I highly recommend (also because of the aforementioned package amplification).

Now, among the gay community, the sexual lure of the jockstrap is a bit more obvious. It's like putting a spotlight on the goal. Now, that being said, I've encountered a number of people who associate "jockstrap" with "bottom." Not true. Watch more porn (yes, I just said that to gay men as if I needed to). Jockstraps are sexy no matter what your preferences are. I frequently wear them and I'll leave my preferences completely to your imagination. ... You're welcome.

I love wearing jocks. Yes, I'm wearing one right now as I write this. Wearing a jockstrap out and about (especially to work or on interviews, etc.) makes me feel sexy, confident, and is like my little secret that I carry with me throughout the day. Although, that secret tends to be let out after enough Stoli.

Some superior designers, in my ever-so-humble opinion, to turn to when purchasing jockstraps: C-in2, Andrew Christian, DT, ES Collection, Timoteo, and Nasty Pig, among others.

So there you have it. The powerful forces behind the Men's Underwear Blog asked me to rant about jockstraps and I have done so. Now do yourself a favor, go buy one, look at your ass and package in a mirror, and thank me later.

Smooches, gentlemen, and thanks for reading! Love ya!
