Black Wetlook Brief with Fishnet Back and Rings for Men - Ares

Demure at the front, cheeky at the back

The Ares brief from Anaïs for Men plays the two-faced card. From the front, it's a cut-away brief made entirely of black wetlook-effect fabric, opaque and satin, topped with a wide elastic waistband with the ANAIS logo and lion heads. From behind, the wetlook gives way to a wide-mesh black fishnet that covers the cheeks without really hiding them.

On the waistband, at the front, two metal rings mark membership of the Ares range: they let you clip on the carabiners of the brand's Axel harnesses.

Its strong points

An entirely wetlook front. Where the Ares boxer briefs and jock bikini settle for a pouch, the brief dresses the whole front in leather effect. The look is cleaner, more fetish, and puts your bulge in relief on a smooth, shiny surface.

A back that shows everything while staying dressed. The fishnet hugs your butt and lets you see every centimetre of it through the mesh. It's more suggestive than an open back, because the eye goes looking.

The brief cut, cut away on the hip. It shows off the thighs and lengthens the legs, and it's the cut that best defines the waist and the obliques.

Harness compatible. The two rings take the carabiners of the Axel 2 and Axel 3 harnesses for a complete harnessed outfit.

A waistband that holds. Wide and elastic, it keeps the brief in place during the day as well as on more eventful nights.

What it brings in sex appeal

All the charm of the Ares brief lies in the contrast between its two faces. From the front, it commands: shiny black, a clean shape, a proud logo. From behind, it gives in: the fishnet offers your butt to the eye, gridded in black, just covered enough to make people want to see it without.

It's the ideal piece for a two-stage undressing. You're seen from the front first, then people discover what you're hiding behind. And under club lights, the wetlook catches every reflection while the fishnet outlines your shape.

How to wear it

At a club, a fetish party or Pride, alone or with an Axel harness clipped on at the front.

With the Ares hoodie, the range's fishnet hooded tank top, for an all-black look.

Day to day under jeans: it's thin, the waistband stays discreet, and you keep your little secret.

In private, make yourself desired from behind before turning around.

Choosing the right size and putting it on

• Sizes: the Ares brief is available in XXL and 3XL.
• Between two sizes? The smaller one contours more, the larger one gives the fishnet more ease.
• Dry skin: the wetlook slides better and doesn't stick.
• Jewellery off: the wide mesh at the back snags on rings and bracelets.
• With a harness: clip the carabiners to the rings once the brief and the harness are in place.

Care

Hand wash in cold or lukewarm water, with a mild soap or a detergent for delicate fabrics. Press the fabric in the water without rubbing or wringing it: the fishnet and the wetlook coating don't like rough treatment.

If you use the machine, a laundry bag is a must, delicate cold cycle, minimum spin, and nothing with hooks or zips in the same drum: the wide-mesh fishnet snags easily.

Never any heat. No tumble dryer, no radiator, no iron: the wetlook loses its shine and the elastane its stretch. Dry flat, in the open air.

No bleach and no fabric softener: softener leaves a film that dulls the wetlook. After a night out, rinse it the same evening rather than leaving it rolled up in a bag, and dry the metal rings.
