No knicker-knockers here
It would appear that there is no let-up in the desire for new designs in men’s underwear. It seems every month new and exciting brands and products appear, as if by magic, in competition to cover our little (or not so little) treasures. It isn’t that long ago that the choice was briefs or boxers in a limited number of colour varieties… often only white.
Once we got the hang of colour then all hell broke loose and we demanded more, which is exactly what we got. So, now a man’s ‘undies draw’ is packed with all manner of sexy, sheer, sensible(?) bits of fabric that send so many of us into paroxysms of delight. There is something to suit all tastes from the almost invisible pouch to the heavy union suit and plenty in between. The number of underwear blog sites proves just how popular this subject is and how we really cannot get enough of these fabulous garments. One of the most popular sites is – www.underwearfanatic.com have a look… or even create your own.
Meanwhile, South American brand Pikante has finally landed here in the UK. So, what are our first impressions of the Pikante range? I think it’s fair to say that Pikante have released some exciting, extreme, sexy and damn good value men’s underwear. Coming from the same stable as Clever Moda gives Pikante a good underwear pedigree.
Jock Boy
Trust Gregg Homme to add a spicy twist to the classic Jockstrap design. I almost don’t need to write a review about the Gregg Homme Boy Toy Jock; I can sum up all the information you need in a few short words: It’s from Gregg Homme (so you already know it’s going to be great); it’s a sexy wet look Jock, and it forms part of the new Gregg Homme Boy Toy (or is it BoyToy?) collection. That’s pretty much all you need to know.

Bluebuck
The Bluebuck man is confident, strong and unashamedly masculine, and has largely been ignored by menswear designers… until now! Bluebuck understands this man. Understands that self-confidence is more attractive that self-obsession. That is why Bluebuck’s underwear delivers quality, comfort, fit and the feel of designer underwear without the over-fussy styling and unsubtle ‘designer branding’.
Available in a vast range of colours (well, white and blue) and an enormous range of styles (brief, trunk & boxer), this underwear appeals to a man who is 100% masculine, but not macho; who takes care of himself, but doesn’t obsess over his looks; who is into sports rather than spending hours in the gym; who makes choices based on substance, not image.
Briefs: £18, Trunks: £20, Boxers: £22
