Black Wetlook and Fishnet Open-Back Jock Bikini for Men - Ares

The best of both worlds: a brief at the front, a jock at the back

The jock bikini is the cut for guys who don't want to sacrifice anything. Seen from the front, the Ares jock bikini from Anaïs for Men looks like a short brief: wetlook-effect fabric pouch, black wide-mesh fishnet sides, leg edges piped in wetlook and a wide elastic waistband with the ANAIS logo and lion heads.

But as soon as you turn around, surprise: the back is cut out wide and leaves your butt completely bare, simply framed by the fishnet and the waistband. Like the whole Ares range, it also carries two metal rings at the front of the waistband, designed to clip on the Axel harnesses.

Its strong points

The surprise effect. From the front, nothing gives away what's happening behind. The moment you turn around is part of the game, and it always hits home.

A cut-out back that frames. The rounded opening is edged with fishnet: your butt is exposed but highlighted, almost put in a shop window. It's more graphic than a simple jockstrap.

More enveloping than a jockstrap. The sides and the bottom of the brief wrap around the hips like a brief: the feel is more covering than with two simple straps, while leaving the back completely free.

A wetlook pouch that contours. The opaque front puts your bulge in relief, framed by the transparency of the fishnet on the hips.

Axel harness compatible. The two rings on the waistband take the carabiners of the Axel 2 and Axel 3 harnesses for a complete outfit.

What it shows off

Your butt, obviously: nothing covers it, everything stages it. Your hips, outlined by the fishnet. Your bulge, well held in its shiny pouch. The jock bikini also has that little practical side that doesn't escape anyone: access is free without having to take anything off. Bottoms know why they love it.

On the confidence front, it's a piece that owns it. You don't wear an open back by accident: you wear it because you want to be noticed, and that's exactly what happens.

How to wear it

At a club, the sauna, a fetish party: alone, with sports socks and trainers, or with an Axel harness clipped to the waistband.

With the Ares hoodie over it, for a matching look where the fishnet on top answers the fishnet below, until you turn around.

Under jeans, for a day with a little secret.

In private, you can keep it on from start to finish.

Choosing the right size and putting it on

• Size: the Ares jock bikini is available in 3XL.
• Right position: the lower edge of the opening sits under the fold of your cheeks, to lift and frame them.
• Dry skin and jewellery off: the wetlook slides better, the fishnet doesn't snag.
• With a harness: clip the carabiners to the two rings once the jock bikini 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.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: Jock bikini or Ares 2 jockstrap, which should I choose?

A: The jock bikini keeps fishnet sides and a brief bottom, with a cut-out back: more enveloping, more graphic. The Ares 2 jockstrap keeps only the pouch, the waistband and two straps: more minimalist, rawer.

Q: Is the butt completely bare?

A: Yes, the rear opening frees the butt entirely. Only a fishnet edge frames it.

Q: What are the rings for?

A: They let you clip on the carabiners of the Axel 2 and Axel 3 harnesses by Anaïs for Men, sold separately. Without a harness, they stay a simple decorative detail.

Q: Which size is available?

A: The Ares jock bikini is available in 3XL in the shop.
