Pipe Underwear - for all your, er ... plumbing needs

Menswear Review
PIPE Underwear, by Palachio has some great designs in both their briefs and boxer briefs. Recently, I tried two pairs of their briefs - Graffiti and Red Rose. Both have the same cut - a sexy, flashy lowrise - and are made from 93% cotton/ 7% Elastic. The cotton/elastic blend provides for a soft, comfortable material that has some give to it - keeping you supported without being restricted.
I found the front and rear to both be very comfortable. For being a lowrise, there is still plenty of material in the rear to create a comfortable coverage for you butt. The lowrise cut really makes this brief. I love how low it sits, yet still being comfortable. The graphics on the briefs are really well done. Graffiti has cool pink and green design on the side and a pink and green metallic PIPE across the rear. The Red Rose has a small red rose on the side and a large red rose across the rear.
The are a sexy, comfortable, unique brief that deserve your attention - they have my recommendation and are on my favorite's list. Check 'em out - at $24.50 a pair they're a good price AND they're offering free shipping right now.
A Bit About PIPE Underwear (from their website) ...
PIPE is the outcome of loud screams for a new trendy brand of underwear.
A couple of years ago Palachio, the creator of PIPE, noticed the need for a new trendy underwear line. He noticed the lack of color, textures and comfort for men's underwear. A decision was taken to create a funky brand based on current and upcoming trends.
PIPE creates innovative garments that make you feel unique and sexy. The idea is to push the boundaries of traditional underwear. We want you to look amazing and feel comfortable no matter the time of the day.
Why do we have to hide our underwear? PIPE's underwear is so unique and fun that you would want to show them off and make them a part of your whole outfit.
Don't call it underwear... call it "PIPE".

Boys and their Hardwear Review ....
A bit about Boys and their Hardwear …
Their goal is to produce luxurious, playful and incredibly
comfortable line of underwear.
Focused on the aspiring man who appreciates high quality products, they
want to release the uninhibited, confident sprit within all of us.
What I really like about Boys and their Hardwear is they are
environmentally consciences. Using
vegetable dyes and organic fabrics is just the beginning. They also use recycled business cards,
minimal packaging and use the gentlest, most eco-friendly solutions.

Is that a toy in your pants?
Is that a toy in your pants? Well... they're my undertoys! I had the joy of reviewing a pair of Undertoy Doodle Briefs. Is it wrong to say I like to have fun in my underpants? I think I must have had a deprived childhood of plain undies growing up (written whilst a tear runs down my cheek) that I enjoy underwear that's fun to wear with cool designs, colors and fabrics.
Without a doubt, undertoys will grab your attention with their fun, playful designs. The next thing that will grab you is how comfortable they are. Made from a cotton/spandex blend (and according to undertoys magic fairy sprinkles too) the brief is soft, comfortable and forgiving. I found the brief to have a comfortable pouch and full coverage in the rear. Best of all -- well not really, the best is how fun they are, but moving on -- is that they are reasonably priced at $18.95 AUS (aprx $16.95 USD). AND if there's a lady in your life, they make fun women's undertoys too!
These most definitely are on my favorites list! Check 'em out at www.undertoys.com.au

Mundo Unico's Ciclo Tanga Review
You’re
in for a treat with the stripes from Mundo Unico’s men’s
Australia underwear collection. The Ciclo Suspensor Tanga is
wonderfully soft with its matt microfiber fabric (93% Polyamide/7%
Elastine) that also looks fantastic with a horizontal striped pattern
in milky white and black.
The
skimpy brief is cut super high on the leg with just the silky Unico
branded silver waistband creating each side. The single layer pouch
supported things quit nice. The rear coverage was a bit small for my
taste.
I
really liked the looks of this Tanga, but not one of my favorites
from Mundo Unico. They have created some other designs that I'd
select over the Ciclo. Search my reviews for Mundo Unico to see the
other reviews.

Dockers Original Khaki Pants ...
Dockers Men's Flat Front Original Khaki pants (#40581) are a fairly basic pair of casual pants and pretty much what you'd expect for a basic pair of Khaki pants.
The pants are made of 60% cotton/ 40% polyester with a button-through front closure. The style I purchased is a flat front (never buy pleated pants - see style guide). The pants provide for a bit of flexibility in the waistband - which is good for after too many Christmas cookies. The pants have a relaxed fit in the rear, which for me can be a problem (not so much junk in the trunk), and the leg is slightly tapered. The pants are pretty decent for wash and wear. They claim to be wrinkle-free but I'm a bit of a wrinkle fanatic and always press my pants.
Normally priced at $48, I'd probably pass these up and pay a bit more to get a higher quality brand. With the sale going on (50% off) I probably would buy these because they're a good product for the price.
I'd wear these on a weekend or for very casual. In my opinion, they aren't high-end enough for business casual.

Tribe Palm Short Boxer - a must have!
Tribe Palm Short Boxer wins big with me! Made from a silky lightweight 100% modal fabric, I can hardly tell I'm wearing them. The Palm fabric sports a fun black and white palm print - great for reminding me of the tropics when I'm freezing in the midwest (USA). ;-)As I said, I found the fabric to be incredibly soft and comfortable. Skimpy and comfortable are a win for me! The legs of the short boxer sit just low enough and just high enough that I get the boxer look without the trouble of the legs riding up and get plenty of rear coverage. Speaking of the rear, there is stitch that rides up the center of the rear. In other brands, I felt like I had a wedgie all day but not with Tribe! With the Tribe Palm Short Boxer, I found that the center stitch does as it should - highlights the curves of your rear without giving you a wedgie.
In short (pun intended), I found the Tribe Palm Short Boxer to be comfortable, sexy, and fun! Most certainly on my favorite's list.

Cocksox Classic Brief - thumbs up...
A few days ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing Cocksox's Frisky mesh brief. Today, I'm writing on Cocksox's Classic Brief. A great brief overall, but could use a bit more in the rear. The Classic Cosksox is comfortable, for the most part, to wear all day. I found the waistband to be comfortable and stylish with the Cocksox logo and 30mm band. The Cocksox enahancing design lifts your boys up and out, creating not only a aestic benefit but a comfort benefit as well.
The brief is a sexy lowrise, which I really like. The rear coverage was a tad too small for me. Now, everyone has a different level of comfort when it comes to the seat - I prefer more of a full-coverage and having it rest just under my cheeks than go over them. I would still buy these as it wasn't too bad - I just prefer a bit more. What I especially liked about the brief was the fabric (92% Supplex/8% EA) - soft and comfortable.
BE SURE to check the size chart before ordering!

Mundo Unico Humo Midway Brief Review
The Mundo Unico Humo Midway Boxer Brief is simply awesome! The Humo is part of Mundo Unico's (Colombia) new Australia 2009 collection.
Made from Polyamide Elastane microfiber, the Humo is incredibly stretchy and VERY comfortable. The very nature of the Polyamide Elastane fiber is that it has better adjustment in every dimension of the garment. The stretchy fabric and pouch design provides plenty of room up front. Because of its stretchy nature, the legs of this midway stay in place and DON'T ride up during the day.
As is typical for Mundo Unico, I find the quality of the material and stitching to be great. This is now on my favorites list. Search my reviews for Mundo Unico to see the other reviews.
