Woodiees?

62 Comments/ 4183/ 0

You know you never know what you are going to read about when you come to It’s Just Life.  All the blog advice is to stick to one genre or one target audience and you will achieve success.  I have far too many interests for that.   There are teapots.  There are Wordless Wednesday pictures. There are those devotional offerings that I love to write, There are the travel pictures to post. There are the everyday occurrences that I somehow turn into a post.  My world can not be limited.

Which is why today I offer you………Woodiees.   In the effort to take care of my beloved I am always looking for products that will make his life better.  Enter Woodies –the underwear made of wood whose claim of being “non-binding” was just what this wife was looking for for her husband.  I don’t quite get the binding issue but I have heard that it is a problem.  Without going into much more detail let’s just say it is not a comfortable feeling to experience said problem.

There you have it–Woodies.  When they arrived Chris was out of town so I just put them on his dresser.  He tried them yesterday.  I told him it would be a blog post.  He was not thrilled.  All day long I kept asking him questions about his Woodiees.  That will teach him to work from home, right?  The claims on the box were something to behold.

Soft, comfortable, attractive???  Wrinkle resistant?  Stretch to fit ?  And my favorite—drape attractively!   Now who does not want their underwear to drape attractively???  I mean really–when I pick out a pair to wear each morning that is the question that is foremost on my mind—do these drape attractively under my clothing???   Seriously, folks, that is a huge selling point!

At the end of the day when the Woodiees came off my husband was a little less than impressed.  I don’t think that they will be his go-to pair of underwear even if they do drape attractively.

      I guess it is a common husband complaint–the binding issue—but quite honestly—they are really thin and instead of a “flap” there is a pouchy thing. Chris was unwilling to model…..

    Oh my goodness. Poor Chris, you mean he didn’t like the way they draped attractively? This is too funny and if I find a pair for women I will see if maybe it might makw me look 20lbs lighter. LOL

    I so love your blog! Thanks for starting my day off to a fantastic start

      I would buy up the store if they made me look 20 pounds lighter, too! I did not see that they came in women’s sizes…more research is necessary! Glad you tune in to It’s Just Life—glad to have you along for the ride!!!

      Thanks, Audrey!!!! It was too good not to write about—of course he would not “model” them and quite frankly I think I would get traffic here that might not be what I was hoping for with that picture posted!!! .I am a little worried as it is to see what searches bring folks to read about Woodies! 🙂

    Well I was kind of wondering if his Woodies gave him splinters in his naught parts?
    I was also wondering if the term Woodie is also just for the underwear itself or if it makes everything it touches “wooden” *snicker*

    Ohhh it would be HARD to resist undies made of wood! Okay, that was an easy cheep shot but I have been out of the loop for awhile. So glad Chris made it to the end of the day with out having the feeling of sliding down a banister. 😉 Thanks for the chuckle Beth Ann.

      No splinters and he tossed them in the laundry hamper. Not sure when they will resurface again—it is kind of a scary place in there!

    Now this is something I never thought I would see – especially not on your blog Beth Ann! I don’t know what to make of this at all. Why wood – because it’s a natural resource? So is cotton. And no fly? Why not?

    ROFL! Oh, Beth Ann, I would loved to have been there during your interview sessions! Maybe if Chris had been happy with them, he would have modeled. We are to conclude they don’t drape as well as expected.

      Chris may never be the same after this post, let me tell you. Especially if he sees anyone who reads my blog who might ask him about his Woodiees….but chances of that are pretty remote—not many people who live here read it so hopefully he is safe! Glad it made you laugh a little today!
