Wanjiang – Hipsters w/ open back – Orange – M

071

Material: 89% Rayon, 11% Spandex, and while it’s clearly not cotton, it has a very cotton-like softness to it, which I really like, on top of the fact that it’s lightweight, stretchy, and almost cool to the touch.
Aesthetic: Bold and attention-getting! This orange isn’t a common color to being with, and the black-vs-orange contrast is played up so well with this pair, from the thin orange line tracing the middle of the waistband to the black lining around the pouch to the hint of black hems you can see under the cheeks from the back view or the hems on the hips. The shiny snap visible at the top of the pouch is also a very intriguing and show-off-y touch. Everything is loud, everything pops; and the shape is visually great too, with a relatively short profile top to bottom and a nice square-cut look (which wears more like two halves of a V on me!)
Waistband: Just a hair on the tall side, and very soft, so I like it a lot. It’s got a good stretch, and a good thickness to it too – it’s going to weather some good tugs. 😉 The pair sits nicely on your hips while also coming a bit low in front. The tag in back is soft and largely unnoticeable.
Pouch: Okay, there are three different components to this “pouch”, so let’s go through all of them. The base layer of the pair has an open front, which has comfy enough edges, but would be a little on the large side if taken on its own. It’s not alone, though, as built in to the pair is a nice, comfy, elastic C-strap similar to those found with the Mckillop slings I had reviewed a long time ago, although this one is attached to the top of the pouch area instead of the bottom. This C-strap is quite comfortable, thankfully, and does a great job of lifting and forwarding your junk. Lastly, then, is the flap-like pouch itself, a small but very nicely shaped lens of fabric that attaches to the main pair with two snaps at the top and bottom of the pouch. It does a great job of cupping your junk, and the fabric as mentioned before feels wonderful.

Backside: Another incredibly fun and sexy aspect to this pair is the slit opening in the back, allowing a teasing hint of each cheek to show, assuming you’re already out of your regular pants. If your pants are on, the relatively small size of the hole means you probably won’t be subjecting your backside to the pants fabric, so the only thing you might feel is that slight hint of a draft back there, which honestly is probably a bit of a plus. Even though these hipsters aren’t incredibly tall, the backside provides basically full coverage, save for the slit of course. If the slit wasn’t enough to look at already, you can see a hint of some hems just under the cheeks, which gives the pair that added extra little bit of visual variety to make it quite attractive to look at, in my opinion!
Legs: There are barely any legs here to speak of with how short these hipsters are, but the leg openings are quite nice. The black fabric is the same as the orange above it – soft, stretchy, lightweight, and breathable – while the fact that this “hem” has some good vertical height to it means that the legs don’t really ride or roll up very much as all, which is a great touch.
Other: Wanjiang has apparently recently rebranded as “Karen Space”, which is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. Also, like many Asian brands, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious title for each different cut that they manke, which is frustrating for a blogger like me. X-D
Overall: 5/5 – It feels weird to me to declare something a “favorite” with less than two full days of wear, but I think this pair is amazing. It’s quite comfy, there’s enough coverage and ease of motion to use as an everyday pair, while also being visually appealing and also having just enough extra access to take into the bedroom too. The only small downside is that it takes an extra minute or two to put on in the morning, as you have to take the pouch off and then on again in order to easily thread yourself into the C-ring, but that’s a fairly minor concern IMO.

Xmas “gifts”/Happy Nude Year posts?

Putting the warning out here now: the next five reviews I will post include two pairs with open fronts, one pair with a removable pouch, and two with creative extra-access pouches. What does this mean? Well, dick.

In general with this blog, I try to keep things fairly professional and focus on the pairs, only showing off any anatomy when it’s unavoidable or it’s part of showing off a design feature of the pair in question, and when that happens I try to not be too hard, i.e. avoiding a porn-y appearance. (There will be one half-mast pic for the removable pouch pair and I’m trying to show off a built-in C-strap, so it’s a bit unavoidable… And for the record, I’m in no way against porn! Totally love it, actually [stop SISEA!] It’s just not the point of this blog.)

So yes, there will be dick. You have been warned!

Nasty Pig – Union Suit – Blue – Medium

010

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, with a slight ribbing effect; nice and weighty and sturdy, as with many Nasty Pig products. Every once in a while, it makes me itch a little or gives some general sensation of pull/dryness in areas where the fabric is consistently stretched, but it’s generally soft and warm, so not too bad overall. The discomfort might simply be me – I’ve always had sensitive skin, and I get the same feeling when tall socks are stretched over my upper calves, so it should be little to no worry to most of you, especially since I’ve only noticed the “problem” over my calves or shoulders instead of over the whole suit, which supports the thought that it’s not a problem with the material overall.
Aesthetic: Since it’s one solid color, nothing sticks out much on first glance. However, the NP logo is nicely placed right where the logo on a regular polo shirt would be, giving a pseudo-professional look that you wouldn’t expect for an under-layer. Next of course is the series of button snaps that goes all the way from the neck, down through the crotch, and around up to just above the butt. This looks much slicker than the traditional butt-flap on union suits from days past.
Coverage: As a union suit, it will completely cover your back, your arms, and your legs. With that much coverage, the occasional annoyance from the fabric is not-so-occasional, but as stated above, that might be just me. The full coverage grants some level of modesty, maybe enough to make you feel comfortable being seen in various situations with this showing. It also is great cold-weather wear, either under regular clothes or lounging about the house, as it completely covers your arms up to the wrists and legs down to the ankles, keeping those extremities a bit warmer than otherwise.
Access: Any full-body piece of “underwear” such as a union suit, a onesie, or a singlet isn’t going to come off easily if you need to go to the bathroom (or want to do other things that need access). Union suits are generally the best of the full-body underwear as they’re usually designed to have access of some sort, and the Nasty Pig union suit does not disappoint! The long-line-of-snaps design eliminates the bulkiness and hassle of the traditional flap design, making it incredibly easy to go #1 or #2 (or do other things that need access) – and, as a bonus, it’s easy to show off your chest and/or abs whenever you want, too! Just undo whichever snaps are needed.

Overall: 3.5/5 – you should get one, but just one. Maybe two if you’re gonna be “using” it with someone often, but they’re expensive and always sell out really quickly each year. (Also, since they sell out, the colors they make each year seem to vary – the 2017/18 batch of Union Suits seems to not include blue, instead favoring a new grey option to compliment the black and red options.)
