They volunteer in underwear

Recommended Posts

Volunteers are hitting the streets of Tokyo to clean up trash and spread the word about the latest trend in underwear: the loincloth. Not quite sure if they would pass muster with the board's authority on the subject.

 

Video from Rueters TV

Thanks for the vote, 909, but I look forward to our acknowledged expert on all things undie, Christianpfc, to weigh in.

he must be travelling to provinces since he did not visit us for almost a week, I'll send him PM to remind him to visit this thread

 

by the way some nice bodies in  the video but I don't find those fundoshis they are wearing sexy

There's enough butt cheek sticking out to make it look erotic, despite the unfortunate baggy shape.  The cameraman has got some good angles, particularly at the end with the multi-coloured example walking down the street.

Based on comments, it appears there's three perspectives on loin cloths: aesthetic, function and comfort.


Aesthetic -- compared to briefs (jockey) style, some of the loin cloths seem less revealing of what they cover (a common complaint made against boxers):

Other loin cloths designs, however, are noticeably more revealing:

Function -- loin cloths offer the wearer ease of movement and easy access to what they cover:

Comfort -- since it's somewhat unlikely that more than a few readers have actually worn one, much is left to the imagination.  Some enthusiasts claim it improves circulation. At the end of the video in the OP, the narrator observes: "some businessmen say that it even boosts performance in the workplace," although just what business they're engaged in wasn't mentioned. To assist in evaluating the comfort angle from afar, these candid photos may help stimulate the imagination:

Hope this encourages more exploration.  Who knows? It may even get Christian to reconsider his initial reaction.

I doubt it ,  he considers everybody over 41.375 kg too fat

 

He's one tough customer but perhaps the guy in second from last photo (short, bubble-but type, second from right) might pass his initial round of elimination process.  He seems very much in the doable weight range. Alas, we cannot remotely measure skin temperature.
