I’m Not Trying To Turn My Husband Into A Sex Object

It just sorta happened…

We’re planning a trip to the Rockies in a few days, and I needed to get my husband something to keep his naughty bits warm. Long underwear are great, but when you’re from LA your jeans aren’t bought with long underwear in mind, and they just won’t fit comfortably.

I stumbled upon Christopher Anthony’s site.

As a youth, Christopher often bought thermal underwear to create his own custom, warm boxers. So when that first chilly Chicago day arrived, Christopher went to the local department store to once again buy his reliable, warm and comfortable thermal long johns. As he had always done as a child, he cut the legs off, instantly turning them into boxer briefs. This exact moment would soon change his life. He realized this childhood creation would transform the current men’s wear trends.

He has an organic line of men’s boxers that are made much like thermals called Toasty Boys. (nice adult photos after the jump)

Green and Obscene! Your Guide to Environmentally-Friendly Lovemaking

Finally, something both parties can agree on. We need to integrate green living into every aspect of our lives: a single stinky compost heap isn’t enough (it may also be a mood-killer). They may say that “politics makes for strange bedfellows,” but this three-part miniseries will teach you how to get over your differences and save the environment one orgasm at a time.

PART ONE: FOREPLAY

Set the mood right. Instead of going on a long drive down a backcountry road, opt for a walk on the beach or in a secluded garden. You will (hopefully) admit negligible amounts of carbon gas. Don’t live near a scenic getaway? Find interesting things to walk to in your neighborhood: your partner will get to know more about you when he or she see s how you interact with your environment. Although cliché, a tandem bike is also a good option because it’s environmentally safe and promotes close physical proximity.

One of the most common things you will hear about green living is that the little changes can make all the difference, such as switching your light bulbs or learning to compost. This simple and direct concept can easily be applied to eco-fashion as well, all at an affordable price.

Sustainable underwear is a branch of the green style market that is still developing, but there are a few companies that have been around since before being green became "trendy." One of them is bgreen. Based in Southern California, bgreen has been family-owned for three generations. Before you worry about what your jeans or sweaters are made out of, start with the first thing you put on - undies.

"We strive for performance and endurance. Simply put, each of our garments is built to last. Our designs are simple and bold, yet soft and sexy. Our embellishments add a playful, curious and youthful feel to our garments. We support local communities, fair trade and environmental preservation. We exclusively use certified organic cotton and low-impact dyes to make our fabric. We believe our planet earth is the only home we have. It is everyone’s responsibility to contribute everything they can to protect and preserve our delicate planet for this generation and many more to come," says the company's website, which also provides images of their sweatshop-free California factory. Men's and women's intimatewear are the most popular of their creations, though bgreen is now also making activewear for both genders as well.

Within their intimates line, colors are very limited, with most items available in white, natural, and black. For men, they offer three styles of underwear: tank tops, crew neck and v-neck tees,pj shorts and pants, and a thermal top and pant. As one might expect, the women's line has more options, including nine styles of underwear (three with lace), a bra top, two camisoles (one with lace), tank top, sleep dress, two styles of lounge pants, two different length leggings (one with lace), short sleeve and long sleeve tees, and a thermal top and pant. Reasonable prices make it all the easier to start replacing your older, tattered undergarments with healthier, organic cotton versions. Men's and women's undies range from $9-$16, and basic tops and tanks run from $16-25. Within their athletic collection, prices are still within everyone's reach: pants range from $30-$52, and tops and jackets are $25-$57.

Via the company's wholesale page, you can request a list of local retail stores that carry their items. If you are a fan of shopping online, check out the bgreen items available at LotusOrganics.com and OrganicSelections.com (men and women).
