McKillop U/W Pouch - A Review

Earlier today, I reviewed the McKillop No 1.5 jock and was quite impressed! For a relatively new men's underwear brand, McKillop U/W, they have some great products. I was fortunate to try their 1.5" jock and their 3" pouch.

The McKillop Pouch No. 3 is their thick waistband pouch underwear. The pouch is made from the same soft mesh blend of 86% polyester/14% spandex as their jock. The mesh again offers just enough to peak the interest of observers yet maintain a masculine look to it. The Pouch No. 3 is available in white and orange - they also produce a thin waistband in black and pink. To be honest, I wasn't sure I'd like the 3" waistband but to my pleasant surprise I did!

On fit and comfort I was again quite pleased. The thick waistband is aesthetic and adds to the overall comfort. I've tried other pouch (or sock) underwear but nothing quite like this. Usually pouch/sock underwear simply covers your manhood and can be difficult to keep in place - especially when you get, er, "happy." The pouch cups you comfortably to keep everything in place. This is really a strength especially when you want to wear these under shorts - you don't have to worry about too much bounce. What I really liked is that the McKillop Pouch No. 3 comes with a support loop that is designed to stop any embarrassing popping out. What I liked is that it also works as a built-in cock ring - enhancing your profile. The support loop was easy to get into and was comfortable to wear too - it is optional and the pouch works fine without it too.

All in all, a wonderful pouch that is not only really, really comfortable but also works incredibly well as enhancing underwear. I will definitely wear these under shorts, tighter jeans, and as evening wear and even daily wear. If you're not a huge fan of the 3" waistband they also make a 1.5" thin waistband. Either way, you can't go wrong.

McKillop U/W Jock - A Review

Over the years I've tried a number of jockstraps. Some I wear simply for fashion sake and some I wear for sports. Rarely am I able to wear one for both needs - until now. A relatively new men's underwear brand, McKillop U/W, has two styles of jocks - a 1.5" and a 3" waistband. I was fortunate enough to try their 1.5" jock and their 3" pouch (which I'll review later today).

The McKillop No 1.5 Jock is their thin waistband jock. The jock is made from a soft mesh blend of 86% polyester/14% spandex. The mesh offers just enough to peak the interest of observers yet maintain a masculine look to it. The 1.5 jock is available in white and orange - I hope to see some additional colors as McKillop expands their line. Word has it that McKillop U/W is coming out with a sheer line which should be exciting to see.

On fit and comfort I was quite pleased. While I wear jocks for sports, I really like to wear jocks in the summer to keep things cool (or hot depending on how you look at it, wink) and when I wear white shorts. I found the McKillop jock to be very comfortable - more so than many other brands I've tried. The jock's leg straps fit perfectly on me - just under my cheeks to life and provide comfort. I've found other brands to sometimes have the straps ride too high where they cross my rear rather than lift my buns. The pouch was very roomy and supported me well. For the waistband, it isn't anything flashy but does the job wonderfully. The waistband sat nicely on me and was comfortable. Being a thin waistband I was worried it would cut into me, but it didn't at all.

All in all, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite jocks to wear - one because it looks great and two because it serves as a real jock (not just for show). I would highly recommend this to others. Hang on before buying until you read my post later today on their pouch - you'll want to buy both!

About McKillop U/W
