Steev N's Brief Guide to Budgie Smugglers

Budgie SmugglerIf there’s one thing that every self-respecting gay boy needs, it’s decent underwear. Not known for keeping their pants on for long, gay boys still need to be prepared and wear our best on the off chance that we get to show them off. Whether you’re on the prowl or working to satisfy your current squeeze, hunky trunks are an essential.

In recent times we’ve been spoiled for choice when it comes to underwear – with funky new brands taking off courtesy of the Internet. Brands like aussiebum and ristefskymacheda are usually found only in upmarket shops or on the web. The added bonus of buying on the web is that the websites usually have handsome blokes modelling their wares!

Favourite Five:

  • Aussiebum: Check out their new WONDERJOCK brand – the undie version of the wonderbra.
  • Bonds: Look out for the extra comfort and pouch size style – ideal for BIG boys!
  • Calvin Kleins: The original gay boy undies – classic, comfortable, pricey.
  • Ginch Gonch: Hot new underwear in zany styles and designs, possibly gold plated as they’re a tad expensive but definitely for undressing to impress!
  • Ristefskymacheda: Stylish new Australian underwear and clothing brand with funky designs.

Like anything in life, there’s always a brand to fit your taste and financial situation – although one no-go area exists and that’s multi-packs. Gay boys should never stoop to buying a pack of 7 undies (one for each day of the week), as we all know variety is the spice of life. That applies to underwear too!
