Warning: This post may cause you to visualize me in my underwear... not that you haven't already*
I had a few hours to kill today, so I decided to walk aimlessly around a few stores. In my not-even-window-shopping, I noticed the wall of Underoos in Target.
Reminded of the nickname (referring to the title of this post) my sister, Teena, had haphazardly given me a few years ago, I perused the selection.
"Oooh, Spider-Man Boxer Briefs."
[eyes widen]
"GLOW-IN-THE-DARK PRINTS?!"
(reading package of largest size) "...hmm... I weigh more than twice that much, and my waist is almost 6 inches larger..."
About $6 and 20 minutes later, I'm in my sister's bathroom squeezing into my first pair of Underoos in perhaps 20 years... realizing as I look into the mirror that I had finally bought a pair of underwear that may just let me keep my gay card.
Rise: Über-Low
Goods: Smashed
Novelty: Off the Charts
In related news: I have, for the first time in my life, been thankful for my small derrière.
*I jest ; calme-toi !
Little boys underwear? Seriously? Knowing that one can get comic prints in mens sizes might deduct some points from the gay card. I think you can even get some by tre sheik gay fashion designers too. Once I was old enough to wear big boy underwear with out cartoons I never looked back. To each their own. But the glow in the dark part does give you a point or two.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Ginch Gonch underwear. They make 'kids' patterns in adult sizes. My boyfriend has a few pair of these. They're very cute.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between "big boy" underwear with comic prints and "little boy" underwear with comic prints is at least $20. Plus, I like how the waist bands are thinner; it works better with my frame, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteIt shows how skinny you are and how skinny I'm definitely not! Ha!
ReplyDeleteGinta's started wearing underoos - he's partial to spiderman (spends most of the day jumping around making a web-noise).
If they work for you, they work for you, right?
I think you may be able to find less pressuring on the goods, however, which I think could get uncomfy.
str8on: I may or may not also jump around making a web-noise...
ReplyDeleteI was expecting more discomfort, especially after first squeezing into them, but the fabric has proven to stretch rather nicely.
I won't like... I'll probably be purchasing more...
