Popular Gay Underwear & Jockstrap Brands
When it comes to gay underwear brands, you have a lot of options.
Traditionally popular gay underwear brands have vastly expanded their collections, while newer and smaller ones offer more unique designs and styles.
Whether you love colorful and flashy underwear or prefer a more subdued and elegant look, I’ll give you the essential info to make the best choice!
When you’re wearing just the right gay underwear at your favorite gay bear week events, an after-hours at a gay ski week, or any other regular day, you’ll be glad you did your research!
Let’s find the perfect sexy underwear or jockstrap for you.
Andrew Christian
Andrew Christian is one of those iconic gay underwear brands you instantly recognize. They carry a huge variety of designs and are especially known for flashy, colorful products.
From their jockstraps and thongs collection, the Mykonos Brief in the “almost naked” cut has become a top seller. I also love the Bamboo Boxer in red.
Options without the actual brand name are available too. Styles like the Hard FUKR mesh brief and Trophy Boy comfort jock are part of special collections.
Andrew Christian’s Amazon store often offers less expensive items. It may not have as many styles available, but everything is usually at least 20% lower in price.
BSHETR
BSHETR is among the less expensive gay underwear brands, but their jockstrap designs are just as stylish! In my opinion, not many guys really know about this brand.
The BSHETR style isn’t overly flashy, but still incorporates bold athletic colors in addition to their sets of black, grey, and white underwear.
You can buy multi-packs of BSHETR brief or jockstrap color combinations, making a new gay jockstrap collection super affordable. Where else can you get a set of 4 jocks for under $30 bucks?
Product reviews on Amazon are fantastic too, so you know their stuff is good.
Arjen Kroos
With affordable prices and one of the biggest ranges in styles and fits, Arjen Kroos has become a wildly popular brand.
They sell briefs, boxers, sport underwear, and plenty of other sexy underwear-related items.
Their product reviews are so high, it makes an underwear or jockstrap purchase pretty reassuring. Given the brand’s popularity, there are even photos posted by reviewers that will allow you to see how well they fit!
Their popular mesh sport jockstrap has over 5000 ratings. Arjen Kroos has plenty of other brief and jock designs that are more colorful, and playful, and some with bold lettering.
Jockmail
Jockmail is one of the sportier gay underwear brands. Their stuff is sexy with the perfect athletic flare.
I especially like their signature ultra-wide belt jockstrap for it’s textured front pouch fabric and the stately thick waistband. You can grab one in a bunch of different colors.
If you’ve got a sportswear fetish, take a look at Jockmail’s lace-up wide-belt jockstrap. This would be perfect to wear to a fetish-themed party.
Jockmail is also one of the only gay brands that sell long johns! These are begging to be worn at a gay ski week evening event.
Garçon
Garçon gay underwear collections are full of color and have one of the most recognizable logos. Their styles are bold and fun while maintaining a classy aesthetic.
While the most colorful and neon products feature bold logos, the lettering isn’t as pronounced on styles like Garçon’s printed briefs.

2(X)IST
2(X)IST is the perfect brand if you don’t like wearing super flashy gay underwear every day. They have a lot of simple underwear and jockstrap designs. I also love their form-fitting and comfortable briefs.
Make sure to check out their awesome micro Y-back thong too. It’s made of polyester with some spandex. I love the subtle branding on the waistband.
You can also find plenty of 2(X)IST products on Amazon.
Brave Person
If you love thongs, G-strings, or just narrow-banded jockstraps, you’ve got to see the Brave Person Store. Their products come in white, grey, black, and a few fun, earthy colors.
I particularly love their white athletic supporter that’s like a hybrid of a thong and a pair of underwear. Most of the Brave Person products have those unique front bands that connect the waistband to the front pouch.
The Brave Person thong briefs are one of the few gay men’s underwear styles I’ve seen that look like briefs from the front but like a G-string from the back. It’s an awesome design!
TOF PARIS
TOF PARIS is a gay clothing and underwear brand with an enormous selection of products. In addition to their underwear and jockstrap collections, the brand sells swimwear, party accessories, and fetish wear.
The fetish underwear collection is my absolute favorite, which includes both leather and vinyl garments.
TOF PARIS singlets are also hugely popular. They come in a range of fabric types, styles, and fits, some with more skin coverage than others.
Their Push-Up singlets are perfect for a conservative yet sexy look, while the open-back and mesh singlets are much more revealing.
Cellblock 13
Cellblock 13 is known for gay men’s jockstraps, including styles that can attach to a body harness or suspenders.
You can’t miss their signature Tight-End jockstrap, which comes in a range of colors. It’s super sexy and looks good on just about everyone. You can grab one in a bunch of different colors.
A few other Cellblock 13 styles I love are the Linebacker Jockstrap, the thin-banded Swimmer Jock, and the hardcore Buckle-Up Jockstrap that features a front zipper.
MuscleMate
Looking for the skimpiest gay underwear brand on the market? You’ll probably find exactly what you want from MuscleMate.
They specialize in super revealing thongs, jockstraps, and G-strings for thick, muscled men. MuscleMate products are also some of the cheapest sexy underwear around. Check out their Leopard print thong or their popular butt-flaunting thong.
Addicted
Originally a Spanish brand founded in Barcelona, Addicted has the largest variety of gay clothing products. They’ve got everything from sexy underwear and jockstraps, to pants and hoodies. All their products are highly geared toward gay consumers.
Addicted’s Fetish Site has the sexiest of all their collections with products like zip rub briefs that imitate rubber, bottomless briefs, and a tantalizing see-through mesh jockstrap.
You’ve likely already heard of Addicted, especially from promotions at some of the world’s biggest circuit festivals, like in Barcelona. Some collections have a print of the full Addicted brand name, while others just show the signature AD logo.
Addicted isn’t the cheapest brand, but their quality is superb. They’ve been around forever and everyone loves them. I own quite a few pairs of Addicted fetish jockstraps myself!
AussieBum
Sydney-based AussieBum is one of the world’s most iconic gay underwear brands. Their fun, playful, and sexy designs scream fun in the sun down under.
You’ve probably heard of AussieBum before, but they have more designs and options than you might know about.
The brand’s Wonderjock Pro line utilizes pouch-enhancing technology, available in traditional brief, hipster, or jockstrap styles. AussieBum’s “enlarge it” line helps to achieve “lift where it counts,” which is never a bad idea!
In addition to underwear, AussieBum also produces gay swimwear and other lifestyle apparel lines. And while the brand has expanded immensely, every garment is designed in Sydney by founder Sean Ashby himself.
C-IN2
C-IN2 has over 15 different gay underwear collections. Each one has a different theme, fit, or function, like the Grip 2.0 or Caution collections. They make it easy to choose a pair suited to your style and where you’ll be wearing them.
Popular styles you can’t miss include the Grip Mesh sport briefs, the football-inspired Scrimmage Jock, and the C-Theory Low Rise Brief.
Craving more comfort? The Core Trunk is a chic option, especially in white.
Pump!
Pump is a classic and easily recognized gay underwear brand that’s been around for a while. With contrasting colored stitching and fun color blocks, a lot of their briefs and boxers have a “sexy jock” vibe.
Popular for being supportive, Pump’s briefs and jockstraps are their best sellers. They’re sold in a few different places too. Buying Pump products on Underwear Expert allows you to mix and match with other brands.
Pump underwear on Amazon is another option, where you can typically receive your package faster!
Wildmant
Need underwear that has an extra large pouch? Wildmant has you covered. They sell both underwear and swimwear for men that need a little extra fabric to handle what they’ve got going on!
Wildmant’s Duo Big Boy Pouch Jockstrap is perfect for those who want to show off. For a little more coverage, check out their Big Boy Pouch Boxer Brief.
Papi
Papi underwear designs are inspired by Hispanic heritage. The brand sells briefs, trunks, and jockstraps, and is especially popular for sexy men’s thongs.
I love the slim and sporty waistband on Papi’s athletic supporter, which has incredibly high reviews. Their low-rise briefs are another of their super popular gay underwear styles.
Nasty Pig
Nasty Pig is one of my personal favorite gay underwear brands for their deep, bold color combinations. I love their pig logo, too!
While their products are not extremely expensive, Nasty Pig jockstraps and underwear tend to cost more than other brands. You can sometimes find discounted Nasty Pig products on Amazon as they become available.
Nasty Pig’s underwear accessories are super popular. They sell awesome tube socks, perfect for circuit parties, sex parties, or anywhere else you might be wearing underwear with sneakers. For something similar but cheaper, these sexy tube socks come in some fun bold colors.
SKYSPER
SKYSPER is a relatively new gay underwear brand that’s taking Amazon by storm. They’ve created cotton stretch jockstraps that look like briefs from the front and a jockstrap from the back! The design is so sexy.
Their breathable mesh gym underwear is a bolder variation of the unique briefs-jockstrap style. The beautiful colors perfectly contrast against the waistbands, while offering a breathable solution.
SKYSPER has dozens more gay underwear and jockstrap styles worth checking out, like their skimpy thong jockstrap and sexy open-back trunks.
TEAMM8
A designer gay underwear brand from Australia, TEAMM8 makes all sorts of underwear styles for gay men, as well as activewear and swimwear.
The Skin Thong is one of TEAMM8’s most unique styles. They make thongs for gay men in various different skin tones, so even while you’re wearing a jock, people might think you’re naked!
I also love how the waistbands on TEAMM8’s Spartacus jockstraps collection have a soft sheen to them. You also can’t miss their awesome part-mesh Score jockstrap collection. These are really nice!
Gruff Pup
Gruff Pup is a relatively new gay underwear brand that has quickly gained popularity for hyper-masculine jockstraps and circuit party gear like singlets.
Their Combat Jock is built for performance. With high-vis neon, this jockstrap will easily get you noticed.
Gruff Pup’s Pocket Jockstrap is perfect for when you need quick access to personal items. It’s super useful and I’m honestly surprised more brands don’t have a product like this. No more keeping your cards in your front pouch!
Cocksox
Cocksox is an Australian brand that produces underwear for gay men with unique supportive and enhancing pouch designs. Their slogan is “supporting manhood since 2006!”
My favorite products from Cocksox are their lightweight nylon-spandex trunks and Italian mesh sport underwear, which come in some fantastic bright neon colors.
Barcode Berlin
Barcode Berlin is a gay jockstrap and underwear brand I want to mention specifically for their elegant, deep-black Sergey Basic jockstrap. It may look similar to other thick-banded jocks, but this one incorporates some rubber!
Underwear Expert
Underwear Expert is the leading gay men’s underwear subscription brand. After you choose your favorite styles and delivery frequency, they’ll send you a curated box of the latest underwear designs.
Purchasing specific underwear directly from Underwear Expert’s website is another option, although these styles aren’t the absolute newest designs that come in the subscription box.
More Gay Underwear Brands & Styles
There are plenty more men’s gay underwear brands out there to tell you about, so I’ll keep things short here with some specific product recommendations.
Or, you can always browse my custom list of gay underwear and jockstraps on Amazon.
Love a super-thick waistband? Goldberg G has an awesome athletic jockstrap that comes in a bunch of colors. Jockstraps by Broddle have a similar look, with a few more interesting colors.
Also, a brand called D.M. sells a thick-waistband jock with bold printed lettering all around.
The jockstrap brand Gym sells an inexpensive, no-frills 1-inch waistband athletic jock. It’s nothing luxurious, but it does the job! There’s also Gym’s ultra-classic all-white jock.
BANGWEAR is a relatively new gay underwear brand offering some fun and innovative designs for super low prices on Amazon. I love the deep grey of their classic jockstrap. But, you really can’t miss BANGWEAR’s Scrimmage Drawstring jock
Aserlin is great if you prefer underwear with a little more coverage and without huge letters across the waistband. Their styles are just as colorful and sexy as the best-known gay underwear brands.
Aserlin’s boxer brief styles or even their longer, form-fitting sport boxers are easy choices for everyday wear.
Sexier yet still minimally branded, try a pair of Sumaba sexy thong briefs. They provide a lot of coverage in the front considering they’re a thong!
The Tyhenga performance jock is also incredibly popular with thousands of five-star reviews—and it has no brand or logo whatsoever.
Fruit of the Loom is another utilitarian choice for everyday wear. Lots of gay men love the classic style of this all-American brand. Or, try a pair of Hanes underwear.
Other minimally branded underwear options include KNITLORD’s breathable bamboo boxer briefs, these luxurious and silky smooth Tommy John boxer briefs (which I personally wear all the time), and
Another highly branded option is Calvin Klein’s cotton stretch jock. These come in black and white and are perfect for everyday wear.
