Undies & Lube is not an underwear store, it's a gay underwear store.
To
the average man, underwear is a utility. Something they need. For gay
men, however, underwear is often much more. It's a big part of the show -
used to display the goods, make a statement, and get that hottie's
attention.
The Undies & Lube
team is mostly gay men. So they know that underwear only part of the
experience. Eventually you want the underwear to come off. As a gay
underwear store, Undies & Lube provides gay men with information
and tools for great sexual adventures ... in addition to stylish
underwear.
We spoke with Undies & Lube to find out what's hot, what's not, and what's new in the world of mens underwear.
What are some of the most popular trends and brands in underwear these days?
A
fantastic underwear trend we're seeing right now is the fusion of
comfort and style. Sometimes underwear that looks great isn't
comfortable to wear all days.
That's starting to change with new
fabrics and cuts. We greatly appreciate this trend on days when you're
hoping to find some fun. But not sure when (or where) it will happen.
New pouch construction
is another great trend. Gone are the days of smashing your junk against
your body. These new pouches keep your boys from your body. Keeping you
cooler, avoiding swamp crotch, and even making them look better.
Any types of underwear guys should stay away from?
Of
course there are trends of which cuts are shrinking in popularity and
those that are growing. We just recommend staying away from underwear
that you're not comfortable wearing.
We believe that confidence
is the most attractive quality in a man. That includes being confident
in the underwear you choose to wear because you want to. Not because the
majority of guys say you should.
Know yourself and be confident in yourself. That's when you'll be the most attractive.
What should be in the well-stocked underwear drawer? The well-stocked underwear drawer should have a variety of pieces. Pairs that match the occasion, activity, or your mood.
Your
"every day" underwear should be comfortable for work, sitting, and
walking. We recommend a modal spandex or supplex nylon fabrics. 2Undr
and 2(x)ist offer great modal spandex underwear. Cocksox uses supplex
nylon in their underwear.
Your underwear drawer should have
pairs that make you FEEL sexy. These could be jockstraps, jockbriefs, or
even thongs. But they should feel different than your every day
underwear.
Through the day, you'll notice the different feeling
of the underwear. When that happens, remind yourself how sexy you are
feeling. And believe it. It's a real confidence booster.
Own a
few pairs of underwear that make a statement and show personality. These
are the pairs that you wear to the underwear parties or events. They
should communicate your interests or personality. Such as humor, sports,
or activities.
Wearing these pairs makes it easier for that random cutie to start a conversation with you. Jor offers a wide variety of conversation starting designs and styles.
And how do we know when it's finally time to retire a pair of underwear?
When there are un-intentional holes or un-enjoyable stains. Unless you're into that look.
What do you do you underwear experts know that we underwear civilians do not?
When
we started, our biggest surprise was the amount of variety of pouch
sizes in men's underwear. It makes sense since we all know men vary in
"size." But we hadn't paid much attention to it before. It's not
something other underwear stores and companies talk about either.
We
are working on a shopping guide to help guys decide which pairs show
their goods the best. Based on their size and the look they're going
for. We all know presentation is important.
