Men’s Underwear Videos
September 24, 2009
I have an incredibly creative team at Andra Group, and I am very proud of them. Recently, they have developed two very impressive and entertaining videos for two lines of men’s underwear that we carry at HisRoom – Diesel and Obviously.
Many people on our team participated, but two individuals deserve a special "shout out" for their work and imagination – James Bowdon and Lizzy Creazzo. Thanks to both of you for a great job.
Now, sit back, and enjoy these two very clever and fun videos which can also be seen on the HisRoom YouTube Channel:

Are You Wearing Your Panties Too High?
September 16, 2009
I know you may think this sounds like a silly question, but are you? Are you pulling your underpants up too high? I bring this up because I realized that with some of my panty styles, I was.
Here’s a little background. The thong as a mainstream panty option hit about 15 years ago. And, if you remember, the initial trend setters complained it was not comfortable. Further research discovered that these women were putting on the thongs and pulling them up so that the waistband rested high on their hips – this was the problem. Women didn’t realize at the time that the thong was designed to sit lower on the hips. After all, low rise pants were not yet making their debut on the market. Only strippers and showgirls knew that thongs were to rest lower on the hips. Since then, manufacturers either made thongs with longer rises so that women could pull them up to their waist, or put tags on them to let women know they were low-rise.
Okay, so back to my question. I was going through my panty assortment the other day and singling out the panties that I felt were not comfortable to wear. I have all styles in my drawer – boyshorts, thongs, bikinis, briefs–you name it, I have it. When I had finished sorting out the ones I didn’t like, I noticed something; they were all low-rise. So it got me thinking. I grabbed a pair and put it on like I do all my panties and realized I just instinctively pulled them up too high. When getting dressed, I have a bit of a ritual and move from item to item without much thought. All my panties were treated the same, regardless of style.
So, this time, I put on a low-rise bikini, but instead of my normal mindless pull-up, I thought about where it should be placed and I lowered the waistband to rest more on my hips. What an epiphany! This panty was now comfortable. I wore it all day and it felt great. I can’t believe I was doing this.
Here’s the lesson; stop and think about the style of panty you’ve just picked before mindlessly putting it on. If you have some panties you have been avoiding because of comfort, go back and look at them through new glasses. I think you’ll be as surprised as I that many pairs really are comfortable when put on correctly.

Cosabella’s Shapewear “Smooth” in Bamboo
September 10, 2009
Everyone seems to be coming out with a shapewear line. You can’t go to market without seeing what manufacturers have done. Most of it looks the same, but Cosabella has an interesting twist – theirs is made of bamboo fabric.
Cosabella spent a year in research and development before unveiling their new Cosabella Smooth. Made in organic bamboo fabric, the shapewear pieces offer superior breathability and smoothness. The initial collection comprises 7 basic items: both an underwire and softcup camisole, boyshorts, hi-cut bikini, thong, teddy and a high-waist brief.
These pieces by Cosabella are intended for everyday wear, and as such, are considered medium control. This way, you can wear them for 8 hours. Having seen the garments, they really are soft. My only concern is that they feel a little thick. However, if they breath and shape you all day, it’s a great trade-off.
