Hanes Backstage Contest

You may have seen the Hanes commercials with Michael Jordan and Cuba Gooding Jr. (if you haven't, check out the video below). The purpose of these commercials is to promote the Hanes Backstage website where you can win free Hanes ComfortSoft underwear, iPods, iPhones, or even a trip to the Super Bowl. All you have to do is find the 9 packages of Hanes underwear hidden all over the site (it's pretty easy, there's only one that's difficult, if you need help I can give you some hints), then you just register to win and it instantly tells you if you won or not. I read the detailed rules and it determines if you are an instant winner by the time at which you submit your entry. There are predetermined times at which someone will win, and whoever enters first at that particular time will win. The contest is open until November 30th, so there is plenty of time to enter to win. They will be giving away 5,000 undershirts, 5,000 underwear bottoms, 1 iPhone and 50 iPods. So your opportunities for winning are great. In fact, I won an undershirt just trying out their site. For more details on the contest rules, click here. Otherwise, start playing here! Good luck!

Designer Underwear

Why buy designer underwear? Why not just buy Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Jockey, and other such brands? That is the question that I am often asked. Well there are a lot of reason to buy things besides generic brands. First off there is the quality and comfort factor. You are more likely to get quality and lasting underwear if they don't come in a three-pack. But you do also have to keep in mind that not all expensive underwear is good quality (but in my experience, most of it is). Second, there is the sexy factor. Usually designer underwear tends to look more sexy because it is better fitting and just that whole designer label thing (but there are some people who are so sexy that they can make any underwear look sexy). But this last reason, is what I consider to be my most interesting and most sincere answer. In a country (the USA) where everything is run by money, many dream of owning expensive things, including designer clothing. The thing is, designer clothing can be quite expensive. But if you buy designer underwear you don't necessarily have to be rich to own it because usually underwear is the most inexpensive thing that a designer makes. Also, if someone sees a designer label on your waistband they will assume that you must be wearing all designer clothing. Because after all, not very many people wear designer underwear and Wal-Mart everything else.

As previously mentioned, Hanes ARE in again!

So sorry not to have blogged in a while. Today I am going to share with you something I saw. I really wish I had a photo, but I don't so I will describe what I saw. Yesterday I was driving along in the passengers seat of the car when I saw a bike rider ahead of us. The rider was a guy and looked like he was very in on style and a bit obsessed with it too. Anyways he had blonde hair and was wearing a blue tank top under a black sweater like tank top. He was wearing white pants (I think that's what they were I can't really remember that part). And he had on a backpack. The rider was sagging such that a bit of skin could be seen between the bottom of his blue tank and his pants. Besides the skin he had the entire waistband of his Hanes briefs as well as about an inch and a half of the purple fabric that covered his ass clearly showing to all onlookers. It was quite a statement. And I must say it looked really good. This just goes to show that not only are Hanes decent again, but they are also very in and trendy as well.

Believe it or not... Hanes are actually decent again!

I'm a "dept. store" kind of guy. I buy all my clothes at local retailers. Which means that I sometimes have to go as far as 10 miles to get to nearest Kohls so I can get a pack of Jockey underwear. So I thought, for a change, I would buy some Hanes fashion boxer-briefs.

If you've ever worn Hanes before, you probably thought they were just crap. And they used to be, with their briefs stretching out so far that you'd be able to wear them if you gained 50 pounds. Let me tell you, these are much, much better.

Since I'm technically challenged, here's how to get to the picture of the underwear I am talking about. Go to hanes.com, then click on Men, then Underwear. Scroll down a ways, and you'll see Hanes Ribbed Boxer Briefs.

Now I don't really care much for the "ribbed" style, but that doesn't bother me much.

You can get a pack of four of these for about $8-$10. They are very comfortable to lounge around in, or whatever you're doing.

Some other Hanes products I've tried include their low-rise and bikini briefs. The low-rise are only different because they dont form an upside down U on both sides, they just kind of diagonally rise up and then there's the back side. The low-rise are a bit too tight and your stuff gets no room at all. But then again I have a 31 waist, and I bought these at 28-30's because at that time I was borderline 30-31. The bikini briefs are, if anything else, more comfortable and revealing. In my opinion, I wouldn't want to be wearing Hanes bikini briefs... there are better brands out there.

So there you have it, Hanes is back and actually doing a decent job!

Question: Do you walk around your house in your underwear? What kind of underwear, and do you wear anything else with it (such as a t-shirt)?
