Product Range

Almost Naked Collection

The signature Almost Naked range features elongated anatomical pouches allowing natural hang-free positioning. No cups or straps—just generous front pockets dropping lower than standard underwear. Reduces squashing, sticking, sweating and constant readjustment. Available in briefs, boxers, jockstraps across bamboo rayon and cotton fabrics.

Show-It Enhancement Technology

Show-It underwear incorporates U-shaped soft material in front pouches providing lift and support. Moves package upwards and outwards—claiming up to 1.5 inches visual enhancement. Separation from body reduces sweating and chafing. Available across multiple styles including the CoolFlex breathable modal range.

Trophy Boy for Hung Guys

Trophy Boy extends Almost Naked technology with significantly larger pouches for well-endowed men. Same hang-free anatomical design but with dramatically increased front space. Distinctive Trophy Boy waistbands advertise wearer status. Reduces compression discomfort experienced with standard sizing.

FlashLift Butt-Lifting

FlashLift combines Show-It frontal enhancement with invisible rear lifting structures. Internal straps built into back seams lift buttocks for rounder, firmer appearance without padding. Creates bubble-butt silhouette naturally. Dual-enhancement technology addresses both front and rear simultaneously.

FUKR Fetish Collection

The provocative FUKR line delivers bedroom-ready designs including see-through mesh, crotchless styles, open backs, shiny leatherette fabrics, and integrated cock rings. Pairs well with enhancement accessories. Designed for intimate encounters rather than everyday wear.

VIBE Ultimate Sports

VIBE sportswear combines athletic performance with Andrew Christian aesthetics. Moisture-wicking fabrics, sports mesh construction, and supportive pouches suit gym sessions and active lifestyles. Includes shorts, joggers, tank tops, and athletic underwear with signature branding.

ECO-Collective Sustainable

Environmental commitment through underwear crafted from recycled plastic bottles. Quick-drying, lightweight, durable as virgin materials. Available in boxers, briefs, jockstraps. Demonstrates brand evolution beyond pure aesthetics toward planetary responsibility.

Bespoke Final Collection

Bespoke represents Andrew Christian's farewell collection—releasing Fall/Winter 2025 as the brand's final designs. Limited availability with no restocks once sold. Pair with intimate accessories for complete bedroom experiences. Collector significance for loyalists seeking last pieces from 28-year legacy.
