Despite all of the “wonderful,” “new” technological breakthroughs happening everyday in Silicon Valley, a large number of men and women are discovering a new technological advancements in underwear.
Eager Japanese men and women ready to lose weight are climbing into new underwear which claims to burn hundreds of calories a week, simply by wearing them. Perfect for exercise-shy, food-lovers, the MXP Calorie Shaper Pants are made with non-elastic material that the company claims makes muscles work extra hard while walking or climbing. These new undergarments, from the Goldwin company in Tokyo, claim that the average man that walks 90 minutes a day while wearing these bottoms can lose up to 210 kilocalories weekly – a little more than a bottle of beer.
The key technology implemented in the underwear – which cost about $37.18 (Y2,940) and are currently only on sale in Japan – is a resin that when printed on fabric prevents it from stretching. Extra muscle strength required to balance the tension in the resin during normal walking activities and results in effortless weight loss, according to a spokesman for Goldwin.
Now another type of product, that happens to be American, seeks to achieve a much different appeal. While the issue of fancy men’s underwear is still considered horrible to most men in this great country. Andrew Christian has unveiled his new men’s underwear with Flashback Butt-Lifting and Contouring Technology. Quite the opposite of the slimming effect of the Japanese underwear, but lets face it… Women love having something to “grab on to.”
Christian claims that it “gives men the illusion of having a sought-after ‘bubble butt’ without having to spend hours in the gym” or sacrificing the rest of their bodies. Christian continued, “Surprisingly, I was actually inspired to create this technology while at the gym and seeing how hard men work on exercising their buttocks. I just knew that there had to be a way to achieve similar results by simply wearing underwear.”
Now the final product I want to outline for you is an underwear product that might actually sharpen your game, your golf game that is. Golf manufactures are making it easier it for us to improve our games: better golf clubs, improved golf balls, special golf training aides, golf-specific nutritional products and now specialized underwear to help you play your best. These days, the pros are willing to try anything to get an edge on their competition and the new hot item this year is performance underwear.

Their “next to skin” apparel combines the finest in innovative textile chemistry with fabric development to produce the softest and most comfortable garments. Polarmax All-Gear 365?s Performance Underwear is perfect for golfers looking for comfortable underwear to wear on course that is cool and dry.
Dry moisture management technology, you’ll be so comfortable after 36 holes that you might just keep playing. So while it may not magically give you the perfect swing, you can rest assured that you will be comfortable and your undergarments aren’t going to keep you from playing.
So while these innovations may not be Silicon Valley worthy, many are improving their lives simply by changing their underwear, and I think that’s a lesson we can all learn from.
