Baskit Utility Brief - A Men's Underwear Review

Menswear Review has posted a few underwear reviews on /baskit/ men's underwear line including /baskit/ Snugfit Seamless Fishnet Trunk and Fine Lines Trunk. Today, I've had the pleasure of trying out their Utility brief and have been quite pleased with what I found. In reading the review on Guys Underwear Blog of the /baskit/ Lowrise Utility Trunk, I can say we're on the same page with our impression of the Utility line-up.

While it may not be the sexiest pair of underwear I've reviewed, they are a fantastic pair of stylish everyday men's underwear. The pair I reviewed were powder blue with chocolate waist and leg bands, along with a white accent panel near the front pouch. Made from a quality blend of 93% cotton / 7% spandex, I found the fabric to be soft and comfortable.

In front, I found a comfortable, supportive fly-front pouch. The cotton/spandex blend was comfortable and provided adequate "give" to create a supportive feeling.

The overall fit was quite comfortable. I've actually pulled these out a couple of times when I was in search of a comfortable pair of underwear for the day if that gives you some insight on the comfort factor.

All-in-all, a stylish comfortable pair of men's briefs. Right now, they're on sale at Undergear for just $10.99 (USD) - a steal in my mind for a comfortable, stylish pair of underwear.

Check out the /baskit/ site for more information and other styles.

You can find these available for sale at
Undergear

Aware Soho Speed Racer Jockstrap - A Men's Underwear Review

Be Aware. Be Sexy. Be Comfortable. Aware SOHO have created a sexy yet comfortable jockstrap in basic black with a very modern 1.5” waistband. The waistband features the AWARE SOHO brand in the front centre panel with horizontal stripes of bright pink, brilliant blue and white stripes on a black background. This adds to the charm of a modern yet sophisticated jockstrap.

Front: Aware SOHO have constructed the jockstrap out of cotton (95%) and Elastane (5%). By adding the Elastane to the fabric, it allows the pouch to mould nicely around your package and makes it look more enticing for any possible suitor. However, the pouch needs to be larger for those of us that are larger endowed. I noticed that if you become too excited that it does not quite hold your package enough. Although, I wore the jockstrap to work all day and felt well supported throughout day. This would be a fantastic jockstrap when mucking around with hot guys on the basketball court or while exercising at the gym.

Back: The rear straps add to the comfort to the underwear, the straps are not too tight. Rather, the straps help to shape your buttocks and frame them nicely. The straps are wide enough and do not dig in even with wearing the jockstrap for the whole day. Although, I did need to adjust the straps a couple of times.

Style: A very modern and sporty looking jockstrap where you will you will be the centre of attention. The basic black jockstrap with the vibrant colours in the waistband will continue to look great even after considerable wear. However, one downfall coming from Australia is the sizing. Normally I wear SMALL jockstraps, however, like other brands like Bike I have needed to wear a larger size. This is the case with Aware SOHO where I needed to wear a LARGE jockstrap. If you are going to buy one remember to try and size up slightly.

Craftsmanship: Aware SOHO has attempted to construct a quality men's underwear with using well-sourced materials, which adds to the comfort. However, Aware SOHO needs to spend some more time in the machining of the product. There are several instances across the garment where the stitching is starting to unravel, especially in the pouch and at the sides where the straps are attached.

An affordable jockstrap ($19 USD) for those who want to look sexier without maxing out your credit cards. Aware SOHO also has a variety of other colors and looks in their jockstrap collections. Go have a look at their website: http://www.awaresoho.com.

If you're more of a briefs guy than a jockstrap guy, check out the review on Aware Soho's Sports Brief.

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

Overall Rating	4/5	A sexy and modern jockstrap, which will look hot on!
Fit	3.5/5	Fits snugly around the buttocks however the pouch needs to be roomier. Remember the sizes can be quite small.
Style	4/5	Very fashionable cut and sexy in basic black
Fabric	5/5	Very comfortable and adds to the contours of your physique
Quality	3.5/5	High quality material however some faults in the stitching.

Size I Wore: L (I'm a 29" waist)

TOOT Diamond Pt Nano Boxer - A Men's Underwear Review

Edit Post

A few weeks ago, I wrote how TOOT men's underwear is one of the reasons I love writing this blog! Today, my love for TOOT continues. If you are new to TOOT, you should read my last review where I give a bit of background on the brand and the multiple lines they make.

The TOOT Nano Boxer is the focus of this review; in particular, the review is on the Diamond Point Nano Boxer. In my last review of the TOOT Rayon Boxer Brief, I stated that they were one of my favorite pair of men's underwear. The TOOT Nano Boxer receives the same praise. TOOT has designed some really comfortable, sexy men's underwear.

The styling and fit of the TOOT Nano Boxer was very similar to that of the Rayon Boxer Brief. These boxers are short and sexy. The Nano Boxer offers more of a fun, sexy look vs the more conservative look of the Rayon Boxer Brief. The feel of the boxer is a soft cottony feel and sits low on your waist, but just high enough to remain comfortable.

The Nano Boxer is offered in a variety of colors and patterns. To see the full collection, you should see the TOOT website.

Made from 95% Cotton / 5% Polyurethane blend, I found these to be very comfortable for all-day wearing. The blend of material aided in the comfort and molding around my manhood for a supportive, sexy look.

The fit of the boxer brief is incredibly comfortable and supportive. The contoured pouch holds your package comfortably and offers plenty of support. Just as the Rayon Boxer Brief had, there is a center seam which highlights the rear end nicely. Always concerned about rear seams, I found these to be comfortable without giving the wedgie feeling. NOTE: sizing is in Japanese sizes- I usually wear a Medium in US sizes, but took a Large in TOOT. Be sure to size up from what you typically buy.

Quality is again quite evident. Quality material and stitching with flat seams really make this a wonderful pair of men's underwear. As you know from my earlier review, TOOT owns their own factory and doesn't have to deal with outsourcing problems.

All-in-all, a sexy, comfortable pair of underwear. I can easily recommend these to you. You can check out the full range of colors as well as other TOOT styles from their website - www.pants-ya.com.

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

Overall Rating	5/5	Very Sexy, comfortable underwear
Fit	5/5	Fit me very well
Style	5/5	Sexy short boxer
Fabric	5/5	Soft cottony feel
Quality	5/5	Very well made

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

Ergowear Flex Pacific Swimsuit - A Men's Swimwear Review

Reviewed by Ken

Today is my first review for Menswear Review. I've been provided an Ergowear Flex Swimsuit – Pacific in size L (I am a 33 waist). While I'm not typically a brief cut swimsuit guy, I was quite impressed with this swimsuit. As you know, Menswear Review has published a number of Ergowear reviews including the new PLUS II line, X3D Bikini, Max Boxer, and more! The Flex Pacific Swimsuit receives great scores, just as the Ergowear men's underwear have.

Fabric: The suit is made of 80% Polyamide and 20% elastane fibers. The fabric was very smooth and comfortable on the skin, while at the same time flexible enough to conform to my shape.

Front: All of the Flex Collection items contain a horizontal elastic strap (about 1 inch wide) that lifts the genitals into the roomy pouch. This may sound uncomfortable just for a little more “show” but in reality it felt quite natural and provided an appropriate amount of support. The visual effect is just another bonus!

Back: The rear of the suit provided enough coverage for me, I do not like how some other brands have the extreme bikini cuts that barely cover and ride up the back.

Style: I liked the dark blue color scheme with the light pumpkin orange side panels. I normally do not wear this style of suit, preferring the more square cut or trunk style, but I must say I did enjoy the day at the pool while wearing this suit, and it was comfortable the entire day without pinching or pulling.

Craftsmanship: The stitching on the seams were nicely done and the different thread colors provided a nice contrast. The elastic support band was sewn into the side panels in such a way as not to “rub” the wrong way or cause any irritation. Overall I think the suit is well made and will maintain its colors without fading.

For more information about the Flex Swimsuit or any of Ergowear's line, checkout their site and online store.

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

Overall Rating	4/5	I usually prefer a square cut, but I certainly felt comfortable and enjoyed this suit
Fit	5/5	The support band was surprisingly comfortable!
Style	4/5	A little more revealing than I prefer, but loved the color scheme and support
Fabric	5/5	Very comfortable and flexible to conform to your personal shape and look good at the same time
Quality	5/5	Nice stitching on the seams and quality fabric makes for a nice suit
