Underwear Guy Review: Mansilk Silk Knit Mini Brief (Bikini)

I recently reviewed the Mansilk Silk Knit Sport brief which was a successful pair of underwear so I thought I’d follow-up with another cut from the same designer: Mini Brief. For more information on Mansilk you can read the previous review and also visit their website here. This item is labeled as a “Mini Brief” but I’m categorizing it as a bikini given the minimal cut, low-rise, small covered elastic waistband and high-cut legs. One of the big pluses to the Mansilk underwear line is the broad variety of colors available in every cut and this bikini is no exception with 10 colors available including my purchase featured here: Forest Green. The fabric of this brief is 100% silk that is knit in a manner that allows for a surprising amount of stretch but you should be warned that this is probably the thinnest fabric from which you can manufacture underwear so don’t expect to be fully covered with the single-layer front. The waistband is a light-weight elastic at ¾” tall and fully covered by the silk material. I found the sizing on these bikinis to be accurate with the mediums I purchased fitting well for myself which should work for a 32-34” range. The Mansilk logo tag on the interior back of the waistband is reasonably sized at 1 ¾” wide by ¾” tall. There is a separate size and wash/care tag to the right of the logo tag that measures 1 ¼” wide by ½” tall and thankfully both are minimal and smooth enough to not cause any irritation. The legs of the bikini are covered ¼” elastic and are sized well to not bind or cause any digging into your legs. The back is full coverage with the sides narrowing to just shy of 2” not including the waistband rise. The front of this bikini is single-layer and flat so unfortunately you won’t get any helpful lift from this underwear item but the pattern cut is at least generous enough to not feel too tight. The only dual-layer section of this brief is a 4” wide by 5 ½” long section that connects between your legs from the base of the pouch to the back. As mentioned before the silk knit is very thin to the point of being partially see-through so I don’t suggest you wear this item in any situation that you don’t want to be showing it all for the world to see.
