My Thoughts

 If you have used those neck towels that you wet and put around your neck when it is hot, this is the same idea. I live in Virginia, and it can get HOT here. These capes are perfect for when you are going to a zoo or amusement park. All you have to do is wet it in the sink before you leave. Put it in the pouch, and go. If it gets hot you take it out, ring it out a little and let your child wear it. If it gets dry or not cooling enough anymore, you rewet it. It can be machine washed, and reused over and over. We went to Disney World for a particularly hot week. This may have saved us. My kid likes it too because he feels like a superhero.
There are plenty of ways to customize them. In my son's size they had six colors to choose from, and six thread colors to choose from, 20 different sayings that can be embroidered on it. You can also have it plain, and you have to decide if you want a hood or not. You do not have to wet them before you leave the house, any bathroom sink or water fountain can get the trick done as well. These are a NECESSITY when you are going anywhere outdoors in the heat. A fair, concert, amusement park, zoo, festival, beach, etc. They are almost a safety precaution as well. The heat when we were in Disney was dangerous. We had to make sure we stayed hydrated and had our cooling towels. It can get scary.

SwampButt Underwear will keep your backside dry

News Of No SwampButt Underwear Windshield Decals Disappoints Dozens

Lake Jackson, TX. (June 26, 2017) SwampButt Underwear™ regrets to inform the public that windshield stickers and decals of its beloved mascot ‘Rufus’ will not be ready in time to apply to their automobiles, SUV’s, pickup trucks, recreational or off road vehicles this summer. The company apologizes for any inconvenience or stress this unfortunate development may cause. But the company also has a ‘workaround’ solution.

Why Stickers Matter

“People use car stickers to brag on their last names, sports teams they like, the accomplishments of their children and even brag about expensive ice chests they may or may not own,” said SwampButt Underwear spokesman Nick Heraldson. “So we wanted to give the populace an opportunity to tell their fellow drivers that they once had sweaty backsides, but thanks to SwampButt Underwear that issue is now completely behind them.”

Heraldson went on to explain that, “the decal company couldn’t get the gleam in Rufus’ eyes quite right, plus they ran out of glue, so we’ve had to postpone that project for the time being.”

But that doesn’t mean SwampButt Underwear devotees must refrain from sharing the good news about their miraculous SwampButt Underwear with total strangers.

Fly Your SwampButt Underwear Flag Freely

“A way to spread the word, especially now that the decals are not available, is to take a pair of SwampButt Underwear and tape it to your back windshield. It’s eye catching and lets the world know that even at 75 miles per hour your butt is dry. And with our amazing selection you’re guaranteed to find something that fits your automobile’s color scheme.”

“Another great way for people to tell the masses about SwampButt Underwear is to buy multiple pairs and then post photos of them to social media channels until close friends acknowledge the superior underwear of their friends and relatives and decide, ‘hey he’s not better than me’, and they buy some too!,” said Heraldson.

Stuck in Traffic But Feeling Dry

Some SwampButt Underwear enthusiasts are already taping underwear to their back windshields and seeing their social lives improve.

“I always thought having car stickers of the products that I like to use would result in a lot of great friendships,” said F. X. Johnson from outside of Atlanta, Georgia. “But seldom did people ask me my opinion even though we were stuck in traffic and the perfect conversation icebreakers could be clearly seen. Ever since I fastened those SwampButt Underwear to my truck I’ve had a lot of people wanting to learn more about my hopes, my dreams and these fantastic underwear. I’m more comfortable in my own skin now. And my butt is comfortable too, thanks to SwampButt Underwear.”

Other drivers are starting to notice SwampButt Underwear on the highways and byways of America as well.

A Window to Helping Your Sweaty Backside

The material in SwampButt Underwear is made to draw sweat away from the skin. This is known as “wicking.” In addition to wicking, SwampButt Underwear allows for greater air flow under and around the fabric, which permits sweat to evaporate quicker than traditionally made underwear.

SwampButt Underwear garments are manufactured to exact specifications and are unique in the world of underpants or at least in parts of the world where underpants are worn.

SwampButt Underwear is available at www.swampbutt.com. The SwampButt Underwear stickers and decals will available at a later date.

My Thoughts

Okay so I did not try this particular product myself. I ordered this for my father, because of a funny personal back story. My father in his retirement years, picked up riding motorcycles as a hobby. He and his friends, a group of 5 couples, started their own little motorcycle group. They call themselves the Soggy Bottom Crew. There have been multiple times were they were on a motorcycle ride and when they got to their location their butts were soaked from the heat. When I saw these I thought this would be a very funny gag gift for them, let's try it and see if Dad likes them, and then we will buy them for the rest of them. Well this is his thoughts (which I never thought I would be having an in depth discussion with my father about his underwear, and we were not always mature during this conversation):
I could tell right away that the underwear were made of moisture wicking material. They were comfortable and lightweight. They did not bunch. The underwear definitely breath. I went for a motorcycle ride last weekend and tried them. It was about 90 degrees out, and I got stuck in traffic. It was very hot outside sitting on the black pavement. While I definitely sweated, my underwear were not soaked when I got there, like it would have been in the past.
He states that he will be getting these for the rest of the crew for Christmas. While seemingly a gag gift, as he puts it, "a gag gift they can get good use out of.... we may have to change our crew name." Coming from my father, that is a huge compliment.

My Thoughts

These are some pretty neat cloths. I like to shower in the evening but I workout in the morning at home. I'm not a heavy sweater, so I can get away with not showering after my workout. Since I work from home too, typically after I workout, I just go into my office and get my day started. However, there are days when I do go out and my skin has that sticky feel to it. These wipes are awesome for that or anytime you need a little clean feeling. Such as sitting in the sweltering sun while the kids play their hearts out at the park.

I actually felt clean with this cloth. And I liked the scent a lot. The type of Ban cloth I tried was Energize and it has a light citrus smell that gave me a little perk of energy. Maybe I should sniff these during my workouts. 

I was pleased with this. The clothes were about the same texture and feel as a baby wipe. They didn't leave me feeling wet. It also left my skin soft, which I credit to the powdersilk technology the bag mentions. I will definitely be picking these up and keeping them in my purse during the days of summer.
