Ride the bull!

Friday, September 29th, 2006

One of my favorite brands of mens underwear is Ginch Gonch. I think they are fun, hip, comfortable, and look great on. We’ve been selling Ginch Gonch since they first came out, and let me tell you the product just keeps getting better and better. This is one of those companies that knows how to listen to their customers.

If you are a reader of the blog, you even know that they have extended the life of my favorite pair of jeans!

This summer they announced the bull riders, which we currently have and which are selling like mad. Take a look at this new video from Ginch Gonch.

Check out the Ginch Gonch Bull Rider Brief or the Ginch Gonch Bull Rider Jock Strap.

Let your friends know about where to catch this cool vid. :)

Working Out is Hard to Do

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

My schedule has been upset over the last few weeks; we’re cooking up some pretty cool stuff here at the office (especially if you are a fan of the site or a fan of men’s underwear in general) and then I’m not only working on getting SCUBA certified, but also meeting some of my classmates after-hours to help out and practice.

Not only is all this extra activity cutting down on my free time, but it’s also cutting down at my time at the gym. Have you ever noticed when you get out of a routine how hard it is to get back into a routine? I’ve been trying to start a new one by getting up and working out before work, but I just can’t do it.

Anyway, I obviously have been thinking a lot about working out since I’m not actually doing it. I guess it makes me feel better, since my underwear is starting to feel a little snugger than usual. So I thought I would ask about your routines. Everyone has routines, breaking them can be easy or hard, but establishing them is always difficult. What advice would you give for getting back into my routine?

Since this is an underwear blog, do you have any underwear routines? Like I do. After I decide what I am going to wear for the day, I actually take time to figure out what underwear I am going to wear. And I don’t just mean, “what will fit the best under this pair of jeans,” but also, “is it a thong day? Or is it more of a jock strap day? What’s the temperature going to be like? How sexy do I want to feel today?” The process is usually pretty quick, but I always go through it.

So now, it’s your turn; what are your routines?

Flying High

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

It’s been a while since I have been able to travel for a vacation.  I keep meaning to go, but the timing just hasn’t worked out for a while.  The good thing for me is that with this job, I do get to travel a bunch, so it’s like taking mini work vacations.

Anyway, as I have mentioned before I am off to Maui in a month and I am thrilled!  I can’t seem to stop thinking about what I need to do to make sure that I am ready to go.

Last night I was looking at my tickets again and that’s when it hit me…I picked flights that will have me in the air for a very long time.  Very.  Long.  Time.  That was smart.  So I started thinking about comfort and what I could wear in public that would be comfortable enough with withstand 10 hours in the air and 5 hours in 3 airports.

That’s where you come in.  What do you wear when you travel?  I know I should wear light underwear, because I don’t want to get all sweaty.  Sometimes it’s good to get sweaty, but probably not on a plane full of strangers.  Perhaps the JM Skinz Bikini Brief?  That skinz material is pretty slick and will help wick away moisture.  Or maybe the /Baskit/ Mesh Jock Strap?  It’s comfortable, not much coverage, and made of mesh so it can breathe.

As for outerwear, I could wear the Go Softwear Workout Pants and maybe this awesome Ginch Gonch Crotch Rockets T-Shirt.

So what do you guys think?  What would you wear while traveling?

Do you like a snug fit?

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

As usual, I am curious about a lot of things; it helps me figure out what other people like and what we can do to improve the site for you.  Today’s curious question has to do with how tight you like your underwear.

I recently had a discussion with a customer regarding briefs; this customer wanted to know which pair of briefs we sold had the snuggest fit (I suggested the Go Softwear Low Rise Briefs) because he liked feeling like his entire package was kept in place as close to his body as possible and he loved to show off his package in tight jeans.

Not two days later, another customer asked me which of our boxers were the most relaxed fit, he liked feeling that he was wearing nothing on underneath; he doesn’t like his junk being pressed up against his body at all.  He liked movement.  (I recommended the Justus Boyz Boxers, the jersey is awesome.)

Now I want to know what you guys prefer; do you like tight and up close, or do you like loose and relaxed?  Do you have a different opinion for yourself and when you see other people?  Let me know your preference!

Monday Melee - Slip and Slide

Monday, September 25th, 2006
Monday Melee at YourPrivates.com

Ready for something a little different this week?  The concept is the same, but this week we are going to do two things a little different.  First, we aren’t having competing clothes, but rather competing lubes.  Not only that, but we are going to compare two lubes from the same company.

The first lube on the block is Gun Oil (oil based, not condom safe).  One of the newer kids on the block, Gun Oil has found a huge audience.  The second is Stroke29 (again, oil based and not condom safe).  Stroke29 is more of a cream than an oil.

So please welcome with me out new competitors:

Gun Oil vs. Stroke29

Gun Oil
Stroke 29
Gun Oil Personal Lube Stroke29
  • Liquid Base
  • Can be used alone or with a friend (not condom safe)
  • Greate to use with toys
  • Cream Based
  • Changes sensation around stroke 29
  • Unique feel

While your voting this week, we’d love to get comments or reviews on both of these items from you guys.
And don’t forget to pick up last week’s winner at 15% off!

Taste the rainbow

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Finally. That’s right, finally. We have received another shipment of the new C-IN2 fall men’s underwear colors. And we aren’t making a big splash about them on the site until next week, so we are letting our blog readers know they are back first.

Well, almost first. We actually added them back to inventory yesterday and some of you already found them, so we already don’t have many left, so if you are interested in the new Carrot, Coffee, Zinfandel, Insignia, or Olive colors of the hottest selling C-IN2 styles, you might want to pick them up today before we do the big announcement on Monday.

C-IN2 Army Trunk with Sling Support
C-IN2 Hummer Tank

Different Standards to Sexy?

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

One of the things that we struggle with every day here is to figure out what is sexy.  It’s not that it’s hard to figure out, it’s that each person’s view is different.

With underwear we have found that this is true on several levels.  For example, someone may find that they feel the sexiest while wearing a thong, but that same person may find that they define sexy underwear on other people to be basic mens briefs.

Another example, one of our buyers is a die hard fitted boxers fan, but when buying, he thinks that the mens briefs just look hotter.

This got me curious and I would like some opinons from my readers.

1.  What do you think is sexy on you?

2.  Do you find the same thing sexy on other people, or do you think people are sexier in other men’s underwear?

Feel free to comment here, or shoot me an email at blog at yourprivates.com.

Understanding People through the Beach

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Man on beach About a month ago I was contacted by an old friend.  After doing some catching up, she let me know that she was contacting lots of our old friends and was trying to get all of us together for a sort of reunion, and asked me to name a few weekends I had free.

Another week passed by and I received an invitation in the mail to a weekend beach party.  Everyone attending would chip in  on the renting of a beach house and each of us would pick a meal to make for everyone else.

So this might seem like an odd topic for a blog post about underwear, but I had to set you up for this next bit.

I found it very interesting to see different people’s comfort level with their underwear, especially amongst friends who at one time were all incredibly close.

For example, one woman who wore a micro bikini all day long, insisted on either wearing jeans and a t-shirt, or a full length nightgown and bath robe whenever she wasn’t actually on the beach.  Several of the other girls who wore either bikiinis or one pieces would wear pajamas or sweatpants the rest of the time.

The guys were interesting too.  One of my old friends wore a speedo while swimming, but as soon as he was out of the water, he put on workout pants.  Another guy would only wear board shorts, but first thing in the morning he would walk around the house in tight fitting briefs.

What to me is interesting is that for some people, there was no modesty while swimming, but out of water there was.  At the same time, there were other people who were modest 100% of the time.

As for me, I dressed for the occasion.  I brought a couple swim suits with me, and wore the one that made me feel the most comfortable for the situation.  Around the house, I would wear fitted boxers or workout pants.  I think briefs may have gotten some people on edge.  I don’t know.  I did wear all designer underwear, because I did want to look good.

Now I’m curious, if you were in a beach house for a weekend with old friends, how would you react?  What would you feel comfortable wearing to the beach or just after waking up?
