Lucky Underwear

Are you familiar with the Japanese term fukubukuro or lucky bag? During the Japanese New Year, merchants offer a mystery bag filled with unknown contents that's supposed be at a huge discount. Nowadays, the bags are usually not so mysterious anymore. The contents are published, or at least partially. In 2019, I decided to purchase the GX3 Lucky Bag (Christmas edition) which cost a little over JPY9,000. Two options were available - boxers or briefs. I went with the briefs because that collection came with a fundoshi! The bag contained 10 pieces of briefs, with 5 pieces made known upfront. The remaining five would be a surprise. As I am not a regular customer of GX3, it took me some time to decide on the size (discussed with Tater as he was interested too). With most Japanese sizing, taking one size larger would be wise.



A brown paper bag arrived from Japan in January. Inside was my ten pieces of sexy underwear, and some cool freebies. I really loved the big fleece blanket because it was very smooth, light, and warm (but it's also white so be careful not to get any ass juice on it!). I also got a gym sack, and a DVD of their 2019 collection. The typical bear-ish GX3 model. I was happy with the mix of underwear. Some were pretty unique. Kept six pairs for myself. The rest I gifted to KH, and SimonLover.
