We often talk about the brands and styles we often like but I would love to hear less than positive remarks about anything you didn't like when you purchased it.

Here are some of mine:

1. HOM Freddy String (the European market version) - the string frays really easily and became undone after a few wears. They run notoriously small too. The Japan marketed versions is much better and I can comfortably wear an L without it fraying.

2. Cocksox Thong - Perhaps I'm not the right body type for this but I found it to be uncomfortable and the pouch is a little bit too much. It looks sexy and I think if you had the right body type it could work great but for the hype I didn't quite enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

I really like this topic and hoping a lot of guys chime in on this.
Over the years of trying to buy more sexy undies, seems like every brand I’ve tried has some good stuff and some real duds, so it’s hard to say “I’ll never buy that Brad again” of any of them

I will echo the Cocksox. I bought a g-string pouch from them years ago, and the pouch was too small. I would have a ball slip everytime I tried to wear it.

I am also not a fan of polyester/spandex blends. I love N2N cotton thongs, but purchased a couple leopard and zebra print poly/span thongs, was a bit rough between the cheeks for my tastes.

Totally agree about the Hom string, it was my first string, I bought one recently out of nostalgia, and it’s still awful. Sorry, but I can’t agree with you about Cocksox thongs, I have numerous Cocksox styles and they all fit great and are so comfortable.

Never really liked the look of the HOM Freddy.

Candymen look like terrible styles and look uncomfortable for me.

kiniki are nice looking but in practice are actually pretty tight and uncomfortable.

I've never really liked the trend so many companies follow of branding their stuff with giant trademarks and logos all over their product. I don't want to point out Andrew Christian specifically, because so many companies do it, but the example below is what I'm talking about.

And I get it, it's a "design element" and "brand building" and all that corporate bullshit, but if you want me to be a walking billboard for your company, you can damn well pay me to do it. Not the other way around! LoL!

Tastefully done logos are fine, I just don't like the ones that scream!

BearSkn. The quality isn't there. I find that rhe seams fray after a few washes. The material pills after drying. The mesh panel can be irritating on your taint.
Love the colors and the idea behind the brand, but the fit and quality don't justify their cost.

Yes, I definitely agree with this - this is the main reason why I don't like brands like Andrew Christian - at a certain point you're just becoming a billboard for their brand when it's so loud like that.

I tend to choose underwear brands that are much more subtle, and something that I think matches with my outfit.

I understand, but I love how my bulge and ass look in them and their quality is consistent. N2N can be hit or miss as far as their quality, but they also have a great fit. Speaking of quality, 2(x)ist thongs don't fit as well they used to.
