This Changes Everything!!!

or...The Return of the Tighty Whiteys

I'm likely going to burn myself out of ideas for blogging for a while at this rate, but I couldn't keep this to myself. Well, I could have, and maybe should have, but won't.

First, some unnecessary history. So back in the days of yesteryear, when I was but a young pup, I, as all young boys, wore the infamous "tighty whitey" style of male undergarment. Mom bought them for me, they worked, and I didn't know any better.

Enter college, when I finally buy some of my own clothes. BOXERS??? What are THESE??? I had found the seemingly awesomeness that comes with "letting everything hang out". My guys weren't all huddled together, and it was good. Until, that is, they started ripping. Because they were cheap (like I said, I was in college), the material was less than great, they would wear down, and during some strenuous activities, such as sitting down, they could occassionally get a tear in them. This was bad.

So then I found the "compromise" undies: boxer-briefs. These things were great! I could wear them everyday, AND for sports! Okay, so hiking in them would be an awful idea (hellooooooo chafing), but basketball and soccer were just fine. Playing those sports in boxers was...very bad. So these were a great compromise! Leisurely wear that could be used for sports as well.

So, that's what I've been wearing, for a long time. Longer than I've been married I think, which is going on, like, 54 years. I've been fairly happy with them, except in certain situations. If it's really warm out, they keep my upper legs too warm, and I sweat a lot. At night, with the covers on, I find I sweat too much in them. They can give me some red bumps too, from just being too warm. So, Kriste finally talked me in to trying some tighty whitey's again. I was like "Okay, but I'm not going to like them. Just so we're clear".

So on to the whole point of this post. Well, we went to TJ Maxxxxxx (or however many X's they have in their name), and bought some "designer" tighty's, from a company called Evolve. "STOP THE PRESS! WHO IS THAT! These things have changed!!! New material, new cut, new feel...these things aren't bad!" Those were a few of the thoughts going through my head as I put them on, pleasantly surprised. So I wore them one day, and one night, and...no sweating! No issues with getting too hot! These things were fantabulous (as Adam Lambert might say)! So I've continued to wear them, and continued to be amazed.

Had I known how much these things had changed, I would have tried them again years ago. For serious. I'm going to see how they hold out after a few washes, but so far, I'm really impressed, and am missing my boxer-briefs not at all. I read some reviews online, to see if I was crazy, or if all TW's were this good; from what I read, people really feel like these are amazing. Apparently they're from 2xist, which makes really expensive designer TW's, but this is their "lower-priced" brand. And anyway, all of the reviews agree with me, that these are better than sliced bread. Way better. And I loves me some sliced bread.

So dudes...I don't know if all of the tighty's are this good, but head to Target (store or .com) and pick you up some of these Evolve from 2xist. Ladies...don't get these for yourselves. But feel free to get them for your man. You (and he) won't regret it.
