It's
fun to try out bulge-enhancing underwear. Over the years, several
different companies have attempted to create underwear that takes the
package you have and makes it something more. To me, that's a fun
idea, and over the years, we've tried several products, some that have
been a successful and some that haven't met the grade.
I've been playing around with the red version of the Andrew Christian Show It Brief
for a few weeks, wearing it throughout the day and then running it
through the wash for another wear. My first impression was
significant, and it was good.
Let me give you a little history. When Andrew Christian first hit the
scene with their men's underwear, I tried several pairs of their
underwear, and I personally loved the style and look of them, but I
didn't like their feel. I found them tight and constricting, and I
thought the fabric was uncomfortable. On top of that, every pair they
produced had a strap-style bulge enhancement system, and I was never
really into the straps. I considered just cutting out the straps for a
more comfortable fit, but the tightness and the rough fabric led me to
believe that wouldn't make them bettter. I really wanted to like their
underwear, but it just didn't work out.
Back to the current day,
I love the fabric and feel of the Show It Brief. Andrew Christian
underwear is a whole other creature than it was back in the day. The
cut is right, the fabric is soft, and the styling is as good as it
always was. This particular brief is made out of 90% cotton and 10%
elastane, and it is soft and plush with a comfortable give that isn't
as constricting as the old Andrew Christian styles.
The Andrew Christian Show It Brief
just fits right, and it looks right, too. This particular version has
a red pouch and grey all around with red piping and stitching all
around, plus an Andrew Christian branded logo. And the brief has a
great low-rise cut to it that slides just right at the hip bones with a
light dip across the middle. It's exactly what I like a brief to feel
and look like with a perfect combo of cut, fabric and feel.
But
does it enhance? Oh, yes. It has a pouch inside the red pouch area
into which you can place your package, whether just your cock or your
penis and balls together. The cut of the pouch is a little high for my
preference, but in doing so, it pulls your junk up and pushes it out at
the same time. It makes everything look fuller and more substantial,
and it works perfectly. I'm not a big guy or small guy -- I'm nice and
average, and if you read all the studies, I'm above average, but I
don't have anything that would make you gasp aloud. But these briefs
do a good job of creating some bulk down there with the set I've been
endowed with.
I rarely take photos of myself, but I've included here a series of
photos that show me in these briefs with first nothing in the pouch
(above), then just my cock in the pouch (below), and then finally both
cock and balls (at the bottom). You can see an obviousl difference
between these photos. You'll have to excuse the quality of the photos
-- these were taken with my Blackberry Curve, but you get the idea. As
you can see, though, the unenhanced version is nothing crazy. In fact,
the extra fabric from the "pouch in the pouch" obscures everything.
With just my penis in the pouch just below, there's plenty of bulge to
be found, but when you put everything in, as you can see in the third
photo below, there's significant enhancing in play.
The
only downside of these briefs is that, at least for me, I don't
recommend them for a long-term wear. When I wear these all day, they
start to rub down underneath my sack. The first time I wore them, I
found the rubbing annoying, and about halfway through the day, I had to
pull my junk out of the pouch. I claim some responsibility here,
though, because the way it felt is like something got twisted in there,
causing the discomfort. The second time I wore these all day, things
were much better. By the end of the day, I was still done with the
stretching and rubbing on the back of my scrotum and pulled everything
out at the end of my workday. The "pouch in the pouch" of this brief
is much better than some I've worn in the past that were cut higher,
but this one is still cut a little high for my preference. I would
like to believe that if it was cut just a little lower so it doesn't
pull your package so high, it might be just a little more comfortable.
Maybe I'm sensitive down there, but I will add that the pull of the
pouch on your junk as it lifts and pushes has a nice sexy feel to it.
It's sporty in look, sexy in cut, and has plush fabric. It's much
better than the old AC, so much that I consider it a new ballgame for
Andrew Christian. I like it. The only thing is that it hurts my
ballsack if I wear it all day long in "bulge enhance" mode.

I was able to try out another pair of the Show It 2.0 briefs in the red/gray
color combinations and my issues with the leg-bands and back seat fit did not
come up with that brief. I have adjusted this review accordingly with the
assumption that the blue fabric was the culprit. When Andrew Christian underwear
was initially launched, virtually all of their underwear items included what was
called "Show It" technology which was a snap-based version of the C-In2 sling
that operated like a cock-ring to lift your package up and out to give a more
pronounced visual impact. After the first production run of underwear finished
the Show It strap was eliminated from all Andrew Christian underwear. You can
still find some older inventories of stores that include the versions of briefs,
jocks and trunks that include the lifting mechanism. Since the removal of the
Show It strap, Andrew Christian has introduced the Flashback butt lifting
technology however the enhancement for the front side has been left out of the
mix. In the spring of '09 Andrew Christian finally released a new enhancement
underwear line titled: Show It 2.0 which is currently available in low rise
brief and trunk cut (jock style to come to market soon as well as swimwear) in a
variety of two-tone color combinations. Although titled "2.0" these briefs are
nothing like the original Show It strap technology and instead take a page from
the AussieBum Wonderjock by including a

built-in pocket/lift pouch that works to lift your
package up and out. The design of this new lifting brief is a hybrid between the
Wonderjock "pocket" and a fabric-panel c-ring as it has a "U"-shaped opening in
an interior panel that you pull your package through which then resides inside
the pouch for an enhancing effect. The fabric for this new line is a blend of
90% cotton and 10% spandex which has a medium weight that is durable although
the navy blue version doesn't seem to be as soft or provide as much stretch as
the other fabrics.
I purchased my brief in a medium which seemed to fit
true-to-size with the right proportions on the waist and leg-bands and a
full-coverage back. The waistband is the new "anti muffin-top" design from
Andrew Christian which basically means it's a very smooth and stretchable 1 1/4"
tall exposed microfiber-elastic that provides suitable tension on your waist but
doesn't dig in as much as some other waistbands. On the right-front of the brief
you'll find a small red woven logo tag which measures 5/8" wide and 3/4" tall.
On the interior-back of the waistband you'll find the full Andrew Christian logo
patch which measures just shy of 1 3/4" wide by 1 1/8" tall. Right underneath
the logo patch is the standard fabric and wash/care information on a paper tag
that measures 1" wide by 1 1/4" tall. As mentioned previously in this review the
back of this brief is full coverage and you'll find a contrast-color center seam
running down the center which is meant to provide a body-hugging fit and does a
nice job of providing some contouring without causing excessive fabric to go
inbetween your cheeks. The blue/navy version seems to have an issue with the
fabric as there's something about the thickness of the seam or the stitching
that doesn't create nice clean lines and induces some wrinkling of the fabric.
The leg-bands are contrast-color fully covered 1/2" elastic but for some reason
on the blue/navy version of the brief the elastic was cut with almost no tension
leading to some significant gaping on the back. My alternate version wearing the
red/gray combination was much better on the leg-bands so I'm assuming this may
be either a manufacturing issue or a problem with the fabric consistency.
The front of this brief is a single-layer pouch that is engineered well
for a comfortable wearing experience even while using the Show It mechanism on
the interior side. The engineering of the pocket is more complex than the
AussieBum Wonderjock and I would say a bit more comfortable for all-day wear.
You will gain some noticeable enhancement from the lifting pocket although keep
in mind that because of the slightly more complex design it isn't really
possible to wear these briefs without using the interior pocket.
Fit: |
A |
Everything in the front of this brief fits very nicely with my
compliments to Andrew Christian Underwear for not just simply copying the
AussieBum Wonderjock but taking it up a level in engineering. Originally I had a
lower score of a "B" grade due to the odd fit on the backside with the slightly
unusual back-seam construction and the confusing lack of proper tension on the
leg-bands. My re-try with the red/gray version seems to have remedied that issue
so I recommend going with that color combination. It seems with my trial of
another brief I can say this might have been an unusual situation with the blue
brief which resulted with a fit in the back that was a bit awkward in my
personal experience. I really like the waistband construction and material which
really helps the waist-fit. |

Design: |
A+ |
I give Andrew Christian a huge amount of credit
for putting in a lot of additional design touches into this garment and not just
releasing a "basic" brief. The contrast color combinations are masculine and
eye-catching with lots of small design touches that go above and beyond the norm
including the contrast-color stitching, the extra logo tag in front and the
extensively redesigned interior lifting pocket. |
Material: |
A- |
The cotton blend is pretty good in my experience with a decent amount of
stretch and is softer than the Wonderjock 100% cotton ribbed material. There's
still just the slightest bit of stiffness in the fabric that I wish were
slightly softer.
|
Construction: |
A+ |
Given the high number of panels, pieces and contrast colors it's no small
victory that the construction is nearly flawless on this brief. The fabric edges
were very clean, no loose threads could be found and the stitching was very
straight.
|
Overall Grade: |
A |
Originally I averaged out the issues I had with the fit and the other high
marks and settled on a B+ for the overall grade. Now that I have been able to
try out a less problematic brief from the same line but in a different color I'm
much happier to go with a full "A" score. I'm willing to leave an opening that
maybe I received a slightly "off" pair of the briefs where the leg-band and back
fit were less than optimal. This is a great brief and worth checking out if
you're on the market for something fashionable and enhancing.
|
Would I buy another pair? Although I had some initial concerns on the fit
before I had a chance to try a different pair, I can now say I would definitely
try another pair as the engineering is top notch and the color-block designs are
unique enough to stand out from the current underwear "crowd".
