I will admit that I was very excited to receive some Papi products to review. I have two pair of their underwear and really wanted to try more. I have the modern stretch brief and a trunk. Getting the chance to try more of the line…who am I to complain! The first pair I am reviewing is the Cotton Stretch Trunk.
When I first opened them I was a little skeptical. I am not really a fan of cotton boxer briefs. Since the first ones CK introduced, I just haven’t ever cared for them. They bunch, ride up, and simply drive me crazy. I knew I had to keep an open mind.
I wore them around for a day. I will say that I was surprised they didn’t ride up. The legs stayed in place. For that, I was thankful because the last time I wore cotton boxer briefs, they made it till 10 AM and I went without underwear the rest of the day. The pair had great construction and is made from high quality cotton. I like these and will wear them again.
These fall in the middle of the road for me. I think it is mainly because I am not a cotton boxer brief/trunk kind of guy. They are really well made. I have never had any issues with Papi. If you are a fan of cotton boxer briefs/trunks, I think you should definitely check them out.

10Percent.com has two great lines! They are Frank Dandy and Pistol!
The Frank Dandy Superwear ® brand was created in Sweden in 2003 as a reaction against the boring – single colored- men’s underwear fashion. A Series of patterned underwear was launched together with marketing that, in a daring fashion, challenged the traditional view of men’s underwear.
Frank Dandy Superwear ® refuses to follow the norm. Each collection offers something new and unexpected. But the fit, materials and attention to details always remain.
Pistol Pete was established in 1997 and features the latest in men’s sportswear, athletic wear, swimwear and underwear. They have a really innovative new line they just released. I saw the entire line at Magic and was really impressed with all they have accomplished. The line is also designed by Pedro Diaz.
We bring you another picture from Shaun Simpson. He is back with new model Mike, who is wearing Lifeizpantz! I hope you enjoy
We received this from Dead Good Undies. If you ordered from them, this will explain some of the shipping issues due to the Volcano in Iceland
Hi everyone
You can’t have missed the news that ash from the volcano in Iceland is causing severe disruption to air traffic not only in the UK but across a lot of Europe and indeed the world.
The result is that until it clears, effectively NOTHING is moving via air which of course involves virtually all deliveries outside the UK.
Royal Mail has just announced what is happening during this unavoidable and unprecedented occurrence and full information can be found here: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/jump1?catId=400144&mediaId=112300784
Put briefly this is what is happening:
USA – parcels are being sent by sea and according to Royal Mail the first ship is not due into the USA until April 30th
Europe – orders are being taken across the Channel via ferry, then transferred overland
Rest of the World – Royal Mail are not moving parcels from their depots until the air is clear for flights
UK – the Special Delivery next day guarantee is suspended but they will be giving these parcels priority over regular mail
Some delays are inevitable and whilst we share your frustration please remember this is a natural phenomenon which no-one could have foreseen and we cannot provide alternatives.
We will continue to process and despatch orders as normal as we wouldn’t want your orders to be at the end of any backlog when it all clears.
The situation changes almost by the hour and flights may resume at any point. We trust Royal Mail to do their utmost to move parcels as soon as safely possible and hope normal service will resume within a few days.
We would like to thank all our loyal customers for their patience and support.
Regards
Adam Davies (partner)

Hello, and welcome back to “UNB Fitness Corner”. Darrin Miller here – striking a pose in one of my favorite underwear lines and styles – a classic thin banned thong by Papi.
Last week we focused on the first attribute required in setting successful fitness goals. This week, we focus on expanding upon the next two attributes:
Goals Must Be Well Defined
OK, so you have decided you want to loose some weight or increase the size of your chest or run farther, and you have even decided to write this down-good. But let’s think about it. These goals sure are nebulous and vague-“some weight”, “bigger”, “farther”. Furthermore, when are these goals to be accomplished? You have not set any kind of a deadline. When you are developing your goals you need to be as specific as possible. Anything that can be quantified, should be quantified and goals should always have a target completion date. So now your revised goals could be something like:
- “I want to loose 30 pounds by 15-Sep-2011” or
- “I want to increase the size of my chest by 2 inches by 17-Aug-2011” or
- “I want to be able to run 5 miles by 20-Dec-2011”
These revised goals are vast improvements over the former ones, but here is that potential for memory lapse again. You stated how much weight you would like to loose or gain, in quantifiable terms-great. However, what if half way into your “weight reduction program” you forget what you weighed on the first day? Was it 152 pounds or 158 pounds? For safety, it is advisable to develop goals with “anchor points” as well as “change factors.” With this in mind your goals could now be stated as:
- “I want to loose 30 pounds by 15-Sep-2011 bringing my weight down to 150 pounds from 180 pounds” or
- “I want to increase my chest measurement by 2 inches, from 38 inches to 40 inches, by 17-Aug-2011” or
- “I want to be able to run 5 miles by 20-Dec-2011 increasing my running abilities by 3 miles”
Goals Must Be Measurable
In order for goals to be achieved you have to work toward achieving them. Sounds simple enough. But how will you know when you are moving closer to achieving your goals? Answer, by conducting periodic measurements of your progress. Again, for anyone in the “work world” this is nothing new. Monthly sales reports, performance statistics, and employee appraisals are just some of the ways companies determine if they are moving closer to achieving their goals. And remember, changing your approach to achieving a goal is not a bad thing, so long as reaching that goal remains the focus of your actions. Franklin D. Roosevelt said it best when he said “It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.” If you were not able to periodically count how many eggplants had grown chances are you would not have met your goal because you would not have known that you needed to alter your approach (i.e. goals must be measurable to be achieved).
So, how do your goals stack up to this constraint? Well, you can certainly hop on the scale or run a tape measure across your chest or count the miles you have run through out the course of your goal timeline and make adjustments to your exercise program in accordance with your findings, so measurability is not an issue.
