Shinesty Bottomless Blackjack Ball Hammock Underwear

Tonight, the maker says, we're playing strip poker. That's the opener for the Shinesty Bottomless Blackjack Ball Hammock Underwear, and it sets the tone. The playing-card theme is the joke. The pouch is the engineering.

A ball hammock is a supportive pouch that keeps the goods off your legs and out of the way, and that's the main job here. The fabric is 95% MicroModal and 5% spandex. Modal is a soft fabric made from beech tree pulp, and MicroModal is a finer version of it. Shinesty says its knitting process makes the fabric softer, better fitting and more durable per square inch. The spandex gives four-way stretch, so the underwear moves with you.

Other details are practical. The fabric is moisture wicking and breathable, so you stay dry through a long day. The stitching is anti-bunching and no-itch. The fit is even and lightly compressive through the legs, so nothing rides up. The maker also gives sizing advice: if you're between sizes or want more support, size down. For a pair of underwear with a playing-card print, it takes comfort seriously. It's a pair to wear on a normal day and to bring out on a good night.

Underwear gets a bad rap for being boring. A pouch brief with a playing card print isn't. It's the sort of thing you wear because you like the joke and because the fit is good. The maker's tone is cheerful and crude, and the product backs it up with a soft fabric and a stitching detail that's meant to keep chafing away. The result is underwear you might actually look forward to wearing.

Picking your option

The product information we have doesn't list a size chart for this pair, so check the size options on the page. The maker's advice is useful: if you're between sizes or want more support, go down a size. The fit is described as lightly compressive through the legs, so it's meant to be snug without squeezing. Measure your waist at its narrowest point, compare it with the chart on the page, and size down if you prefer firm support.

Care

Modal is soft and likes gentle treatment. Check the care label. If you're not sure, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, with similar colors and a mild detergent, and hang to dry or tumble dry on low. Skip fabric softener, which can coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking. Avoid bleach, and turn the underwear inside out to protect the print.
