<p>Maybe that explains it... :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's an interesting measure of speed of technological progress - whether we're inventing stuff at the rate that books and movies historically thought we would.</p> -

<p>Who cares about sheets. Most of time when I'm in bed I'm asleep, so wouldn't know, or care, what I'm sleeping on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Underpants however, are a different matter. I have recently learned the pleasure of wearing Icebreaker Merino undies. Throw away your cotton forever and enjoy the soft encasement of your danglies in fine wool.</p> -
<p>boxers of briefs? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I only wear the latter when running or playing golf to avoid chaffing.... hehe</p> -

<p>Those boxer brief type ones. Need something to keep the goods from falling out leg of the shorts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They aren't cheap, but neither are quality cotton ones. </p>

<p>How much is not cheap?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, does it all get a bit too hot in wool this time of year? (I'm writing this while I screw up my face at the thought BTW)</p> -

<p>$50 a pair or 2 pair for $90 usually. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for being hot? Completely the opposite. They are very 'breathable' meaning they don't get sweaty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The wool is so fine you'd think it was silk.</p> -
<p>This thread gets weirder by the day</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But to answer the question, fitted bonds trunks, they make me feel so sexy. </p> -

<p>NZD mate! Oh, sorry, it's the same thing..... :)</p> -
<p>I usually order some online from Next (around $20 for pack of 3) quite often get free delivery to NZ.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hallensteins had some decent cotton ones on special recently 3 for $20, had issues with the Jockey sports ones! </p> -

<p>and I don't buy them, the missus gets them for me duty free when she is bored and waiting in transit on work trips.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are lucky you can pick them up in a storewide sale or at the Icebreaker clearance stores as well.</p> -

<p>Sure! They look comfy on those male models! Where is the photo of the 40year old with a beer gut trying to get fit with them on? :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You've convinced me to grab some.</p>
