Clever Zimbabue Bikini - A Men's Underwear Review

Guest Review by Eric Layman

Clever Underwear creates many sexy designs within their underwear range - including the previously reviewed Maori Mesh Boxer and Lightening Brief. The Zimbabue Bikini is no exception to Clever's line of sexy underwear.

The fabric on the Zimbabue Bikini is a cool blend of 91% cotton/9% spandex was soft and breathable. The elastic band sewn with flat seams adds more comfort than normal to the waist than similar styles. Patterned with fun playful colors in an exhilarating design and contrast piping.

In front, the pouch is well designed and provides a comfortable tight support. I would think it would be supportive enough for athletic activities, although I didn’t actually test this.

In back, you'll find sexy and minimal coverage. They are perfect for an evening with intent of having them seen and showing a little something extra.

For style, I found these a Very HOT cut! The bikini is perfect if you’re looking to show off a bit more skin than a typical brief, great addition to any underwear drawer.

Overall craftsmanship of the Zimbabue Bikini was well made. I can recommend these to you for that special evening out.

For more information about Clever or to see their full range, check out theirmen's underwear website.

You should be able to buy these at:

Ergowear Plus II Bikini, Brief and Boxer - Men's Underwear Reviews

Being a big fan of Ergowear, I wasn't sure they could improve my opinion - well they did!

Having written several reviews of Ergowear, I have found myself really enjoying their products. Known for their pouch designs, each of their ranges (X3D, PLUS, Max and Max Light) offer a wonderfully comfortable pouch. The PLUS line (Pouch Lifted and UnSeemed) features just that - a seamless pouch to lift your boys up and away to happiness. Like their other lines, the PLUS lifts things up and naturally out to avoid squashing and sticking as can be found with traditional underwear.

New this year is the PLUS II which is an improvement over last year's design. I've found that the material used is softer and more flexible and like the use of the waistband from the Max range - a wonderful mix. The PLUS II line is made from a quality cotton(90%)/lycra (10%)blend. The fabric in this PLUS II version is wonderful and a great improvement over last year's.

With the PLUS, you can position yourself up or down (see picture). While holding things up gives you a larger bulge, it wasn't something that I was used to and preferred to hang down. What are your thoughts - up or down? If you have experience with this position, let me know. (A) is the standard pouch and (B) and (C) are the PLUS pouch. The pouch in all three of my trials - Bikini, Brief, and Boxer, were all very comfortable and supportive. In short, BIG FAN of the Ergowear pouch.

In style, all three styles I tried - Bikini, Brief, and Boxer were quite handsome. In order to make the seamless pouch, however, Ergowear had to add some elastic around the pouch which leaves a bit of a bunched look; with the Bikini, this is minimized. An enhancement in style over last year is the of the Max range waistband - a handsome black waistband with white Ergowear.com lettering.

For rear coverage, I was pleased with all three. Sometimes bikinis can be a bit skimpy, but not with Ergowear. I'm pleased to report that all three had full coverage that didn't ride up at all. Definitely all-day comfortable.

In sum, a fantastic upgrade to a great range. Within the PLUS II range you should be able to find the style you like best. For me, it's a toss up between the three - Bikini and Brief in the summer, but like a Boxer in the cooler months.

For more info, check out Ergowear's site. Sizing is key so be sure to check out their sizing guide.

RATING SYSTEM: 1=POOR, 3=AVERAGE, 5=SUPERIOR

Overall Rating	4.75/5	Fantastic upgrade to a great range
Fit	4.5/5	Very comfortable all around
Style	4.5/5	You WILL get noticed in the PLUS pouch
Fabric	4.75/5	Comfortable cotton blend
Quality	5/5	Very well made, appreciate them being tagless

Size I Wore: L (I'm a 34" waist)

MaleBasics Bikini Turquesa - A Men's Underwear Review

Reviewed by Eric Layman

The MaleBasics Bikini Turquesa, MB004 Turquoise, is the first of my reviews here on Menswear Review. In reviewing the bikini, I thought I'd look at five main areas: fabric, front, back, style and craftsmanship. Through these review points I am able to better determine the overall rating and, hopefully, give you insight into how this product would work for you.

Fabric: The soft 97% cotton fabric was very soft and comfortable fit huggingly well. I especially liked the soft elastic waistband. Often with “string bikini” styles similar to this, the elastic can be uncomfortable and irritating. These were completely abrasion free, including the sewn in tag inside the back.

Front: Although I typically prefer a roomier front pouch, the pouch was quite comfortable and held the boys in place well. I wouldn’t consider them tight; however, if I had to ask for anything more it would be just a tad bit more room.

Back: The back isn’t quite a full back; it is more what I would call a half back. Although I am more accustomed to wearing the fuller back styles, they fit and stayed in place very well. I was amazed that there was no tugging and pulling, and I wore them the entire day.

Style: I think the style is a sexy one that doesn’t sacrifice too much comfort. They can be worn to work or in the bedroom.

Craftsmanship: This is the first MaleBasics underwear I have worn and they appear to be very well made. It is obvious to me that comfort and support are priority in the way they are made; and they have done a great job.

For more information and other styles, check out the MaleBasics online store.

Groovin' String Bikini - A Men's Underwear Review

6/29/2010 11:55:00 AM |

Edit Post

With my now fourth review of Groovin' men's underwear, I have a pretty good feel for the brand and am quite pleased. I loved my Groovin' Cup Boxer, Groovin' Lowrise Hip Brief and Groovin' Lowrise Wide Waistband Brief, and now ... I have had the chance to review their String Bikini. For a bit more about Groovin', check out the post about the brand.

The Groovin' String Bikini is a very skimpy pair of men's underwear - obvious considering the name. The String Bikini is made from the same material as the Cup Boxer Brief, Lowrise Hip Brief and Lowrise Wide Waistband Brief I reviewed earlier- 92% Nylon, 8% Lycra blend. While skimpy, the material is very stretchy and molds to all of your manhood nicely.

Being a string bikini cut, you are obviously going to sacrifice some coverage. While the pouch is comfortable and covers you nicely, the rear seat is just a tad small. When buying a string bikini, I often find this to be the case - sometimes you need to sacrifice a little for a sexy look.

All in all, these are a sexy little pair of men's underwear. I am a huge fan of Groovin' and haven't been disappointed yet. While the String Bikini is a bit too skimpy for my daily wear collection, it can certainly find a spot for a fun night out (or in). I can recommend them to you as a sexy, well made string bikini.

At $13.99-16.99 (USD) these are a decent buy

You can find Groovin' online through Amazon, http://www.groovin.sg, and http://www.mensurbandesigns.com. To stay up to date with Groovin', checkout their Facebook page and follow them on Twitter.

Again, hopefully we will see Groovin' more widely available as they are actively looking for local or regional partnerships.

RATING SYSTEM: 1=POOR, 3=AVERAGE, 5=SUPERIOR

Overall Rating	3.5/5	Sexy and skimpy
Fit	3/5	Fit like a typical string bikini
Style	3/5	Sexy, minimal
Fabric	5/5	Soft, stretchy
Quality	5/5	Well made
