Loincloths: Liberation From The Oppressive Panty
Today’s post is on the latest Japanese innovation in intimates…
… LOINCLOTHS FOR WOMEN <thunderous applause>…
Proudly presented by Wacko Wacoal, based on the Japanese fundoshi and billed as the “ultimate liberation item for women”.
They come in a bra-and-panty loincloth set, and the bra looks like this:

There are two versions of the loincloth. The hourglass shape kinda makes sense to me, but the oblong one looks like it has to be bunched up in the middle… hmmm…

The loincloth is tied like a butt apron, then brought forward between the legs, tucked under the apron strings, and then the rest of the material hangs in front like a skirt… so:

So far, about 5000 women have bought these, and numbers will rise as they begin to be imported into Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.
What, no Western representation?
OK, while the skirty look is quite cute, there are 5000 women who now have to deal with the following problems:
-
First of all, cannot even wear the damn bra the normal way. Must tie top, must tie bottom.
-
Bulge-fest with jeans, slim-fit pants or skirts, leggings, or snug dresses. Peekaboo-fest with shorts and miniskirts.
-
Therefore, stuck with trapeze dresses, big skirts and T-shirts with baggy bermudas.
-
Unless brave enough to wear to the beach as is.
-
In which case, must pray very hard that wind does not blow.
-
How to wear stockings????? Over… cannot. Under… gross.
-
Must untie and retie at every trip to the ladies. Good luck if having stomach flu.
-
How to stick the pad on every month??? Paste where??? These people must be in league with the tampon manufacturers.
-
For relevant populations, average guy = clueless at normal female underwear. By the time he figures these out, it will be time for breakfast… in which case, the loincloth can be relocated around the neck for use as an apron. Aha. Multifunctionality.
I have to wonder if this is an April Fools’ joke.
