Obviously for Men Low Rise Brief

Surprisingly enough I am relatively conservative when it comes to underwear so it was a bit of a stretch (excuse the pun) when it came to wearing and reviewing the newest in the Obviously for Men Low Rise collection - the low rise brief.

In saying that I have found this mens underwear designer to have created a fantastic addition to the world of mens underwear, with their signature anatomical pouch making for a very comfortable fit. The pouch at first stirred some curiosity and I also dismissed it as something I would not wear. But after having worn a couple of times I have now found it to be my new favourite.

No more readjusting, sweating or chafing whatsoever with everything held in place just nicely. An additional little boost for any guy will also be this garments ability to hold and protrude everything - making one appear to really “fill out” their trousers.

There is a seamless back so there will be no more riding “up there” or self inflicted wedgies and no itchy or uncomfortable labels, but instead washing instructions and fabric make up on an all encompassing tag built into the elastic. The fabric is a Modal/Lycra and is extremely soft and alluring, with an equally soft yet retaining elastic band, that left no unsightly marks on my skin at the end of the day.

As with a lot of companies these days Obviously for Men are going the environmentally friendly route by using Modal which is a green friendly fabric made from sustainable Beech tree plantations using 100% chemical free processes. The packaging also adheres to the enviro standards of today, having been created with 100% recycled paper. There is nothing substantially different about the packaging that would make it stand out from the rest, but the gorgeous model on front flaunting the anatomical pouch may certainly attract attention.

I certainly look forward to wearing a lot more from this local designer.

C-IN2 Kinetic Mesh Low Rise Brief

I have found with C-IN2 that their range of men’s underwear regularly sports a great fit, style and design - the C-IN2 Kinetic Mesh Low Rise Brief is no exception. The new 2008 range of Kinetic mesh now includes some new colour options but has managed to maintain the same fantastic fit as previous.

The packaging has also had an upgrade from previous deviations with a die-cut window and bolder graphics making for a product that surely will stand out amongst the plethora of retail displays.

The C-IN2 Kinetic mesh still retains it’s fabric blend of 97% cotton, 3% spandex in a lightweight weave with a slightly sheared mesh texture. C-IN2 underwear is still true-to-size with their sizing, these standards being obviously upheld fitting very nicely. The waistband is a 1 1/2″ soft microfibre design with a colourised C-IN2 logo repeated around, matching the the insert panels on the front of the brief.

The back of the low-rise brief has full coverage and the fit overall is fantastic, the sides of the brief narrow to 1/2″ - excluding the waistband height. The front pouch is supportive and provides a good amount of “lift” and shaping without going over the top! The pouch size is certainly in-line with the rest of the C-IN2 mens underwear range with an average size pouch and a single layer for the entire brief meaning the front is a lot more revealing the regular cotton briefs.
