Menswear Review
2Wink just rolled out a new promotional campaign, “A Chance 2Design,” and are offering you a fun and innovative opportunity to find your inner fashionista by allowing you to design you very own pair of limited-edition underwear with a chance to win large prizes, such as a AU$200 2wink gift voucher, or even a grand prize of AU$1,500 cash!!
Starting today, contestants can either manually or digitally design an entire pair of underwear and enter their original designs into the online design competition.
After the eight-week-long submissions process ends, three celebrity judges, including reality TV star Jack Mackenroth (Project Runway), award-winning comedienne Deven Green (“Welcome to My…” parody series) and Pinstripe Magazine Editor-in-Chief Marv Valladares, will enter various rounds of judging over the course of two weeks before selecting the winning design, taking into account factors like the best use of color, most creative pattern and other criteria.
Once the winning design is chosen by the team of judges, the brand expects to have 5,000 limited-edition pairs manufactured within eighteen weeks and ready to hit 2wink’s on-line store shelves shortly after. 2wink will donate 50-percent of its net sales profits of the winning design directly to fight prostate cancer. Currently, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, behind only lung cancer. A non-smoking man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma and kidney cancer combined. This year, in America alone, more than 32,000 men will die from the disease and more than 218,000 new cases will be diagnosed, according to Prostate Cancer Foundation.
Contest entries must be received no later than August 26, 2010. All original designs are eligible and contestants must design the entire pair. All colors are allowed and the waistband width is 4 cm. Entries must be submitted via e-mail in either .pdf or .jpg format to events@2wink.com.au.
All designs entered will become the property of 2wink Pty. Ltd., which reserves the right to manufacture any design without compensation or with notifying the entrant. The winner of the contest must be willing to sign a release form. Entries must include name, mailing address and contact details for participant.
For more information on the “A Chance 2Design” campaign, or to purchase 2wink underwear, visit www.2wink.com.au.
Good luck guys!!!

2Wink Space Cadet - A Men's Underwear Review
After reviewing 2Wink's Hot Angel, Cool Devil boxer briefs and now their Space Cadet boxer briefs, one thing I can say for certain is that 2Wink makes high-quality underwear.I am again impressed with the quality of material they use, the "fuzzy" waistband, and the quality workmanship. I can also say, that I am again impressed by 2Wink's styling - from the cut to color. Made from 92% cotton, 8% spandex, these were cotton-soft with a bit of stretch to them. The 2Wink Space Cadet are fun, sexy looking pair of men's boxer briefs with their deep purple coloring and green accenting; You really can tell that Buzz Lightyear was an inspiration for these.
On comfort, I found these to fit similar to how the Hot Angel, Cool Devil boxer briefs fit. They are certainly a lowrise and sit a bit lower than I typically like my lowrise underwear to sit - still ok but would like a tad higher. For the pouch, I would say the same. The pouch was a tag snug, still comfortable, but enjoy a roomier pouch. For guys that like a snug fit, these should be great for you.
For leg and waistbands, I really like their waistband as it's the "fuzzy" type - very soft! The leg bands are also comfortable and hold the legs in place to avoid riding up during the day.
If you're new to 2Wink, they're an Australia brand made in Perth and started up in 2005. They recently brought production back from China to better manage quality control. From what I've read about early productions of 2Wink, I think they've made the right move - definitely a quality brand! 2Wink can be found in over 30 countries and are expanding into swimwear soon.
All in all, a decent boxer brief; with a few tweaks they be on my top 5 list. Even so, I would recommend these to you. If you're concerned about sizing, you may want to consider a size up to avoid the snug fit. Priced a $18.75 (USD) they're a good buy for the quality you get. So, become a "Defender of the Galaxy" and check out 2Wink's Space Cadet.
Overall Rating | 4/5 | High quality at a reasonable price |
Fit | 4/5 | Comfortable but snug. You may want to consider a size up. |
Style | 4/5 | Sexy, masculine, playful |
Fabric | 4/5 | Nice quality cotton - could use a tad more stretch |
Quality | 5/5 | Very well made, appreciate them being tagless |

Hot Angel or Cool Devil?
From a style perspective, I thought these were VERY attractive. I really liked the color and cut. In terms of cut, these are a lowrise and sit as such. I found the pouch to have adequate room (could have used a tad more) and the seat to be full coverage (though I would have liked it to sit just a bit higher or have a higher percentage of spandex to have more flex). Overall, these were comfortable so my comments should be taken as me looking for perfection. I would certainly buy and wear these on a regular basis with the current fit. For the leg bands, I found them comfortable and the legs stayed in place - something important to me with a boxer brief.
If you haven't heard of 2wink before, they're an Australian brand made in Perth who launched in 2005. They made the decision to bring production back from China to Australia. You can find 2wink in over 30 countries and they rolled out four new designs within this past quarter. They'll be expanding into swimwear so keep an eye out for them in that market too.
So, are you a Hot Angel or a Cool Devil?
