Test Drive: Ginch Gonch

Posted by Laureen Mahler

Okay, first things first: what the hell is a Ginch Gonch? According to the ever-handy Urban Dictionary, Ginch = old school men's briefs, and Gonch = well, let's just say it means nasty old tighty-whities. So why in the world would I want to test drive nasty men's tighty-whities? As you can see from the photo above, Ginch Gonch is a bit of a misnomer (intentional, I'm sure). These panties combine all the nostalgia of little boy Underoos with the fanciness of Victoria's Secret.

Read on for the extremely intimate test drive:

 

[$24 - $28, Ginch Gonch] 

Ginch Gonch underwear for women come in more styles than you can count, all of them colorful, fun, and yes, equipped with penis hole. Why do women need a penis hole? Two reasons: 1) Ginch Gonch is about the whole Underoo package, shaped for women, and 2) be creative. 

First, the packaging: Ginch Gonch knows how to make you feel fancy when you open up your shipment of undies. It was like Christmas in March when mine arrived, complete with packaging strewn all around the house, me dancing around in my new panties, and my cat chewing on one of the tags. Apparently she likes Ginch Gonch, too. 

The undies themselves do not disappoint. They fit like a charm (and trust me, if these puppies weren't reshaped for female curves, I'd be one uncomfortable test driver), and they feel fantastic. We're talking much higher quality undies than I normally find around my nether regions. Okay, I admit that the little boy-inspired design was a bit weird at first. I mean, I like the whole nostalgia thing, but can I really be nostalgic for boyhood? Isn't that somewhat dirty? But putting Ginch Ginch on is sort of like transforming into the superhero of Underoo fame. It suddenly all makes sense. Really, really comfy sense. (Side note: why exactly did little boys get to have all the undergarment fun?)

The folks at Ginch Gonch also sent a pair of long underwear (available in a multitude of designs). With these, I set out to answer the ultimate test drive question: would Ginch Gonch make me look sexier doing what I do best? (To clarify, what I do best is sit on my ass at the computer.) Answer:


[$42, Ginch Gonch]

Absolutely! Check me out up there. I could wear these out in public and turn heads. Though they might be turning for the wrong reasons...

My conclusion: I've completely fallen under the charms of Ginch Gonch. Yes, they're pricey, but they're also the most fun you'll have (by yourself) in underwear. And guys, they also make men's undies, meaning that the Ginch Gonch store has something for just about everyone.

Are these Ginch Gonch the reason your dog was so attracted to your leg?  Just hope your tee shirt isn't equally.

Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood.

Shaun Seneviratne is a dude just like anyone else. Just your average guy that raps Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to strangers on the subway at 4 a.m., doesn't chew his food because he believes it's a waste of time, and sleeps next to a scale replica of the Ghostbusters headquarters. He can rest easy knowing Egon, Peter, Ray, and Winston have his back. He currently lives in northern New Jersey, plays bass in Rapid Cities, and recently started a tumblr.

Laureen Mahler is a writer and editor who lives in California, where the sun never sets and everyone rollerskates to work. She coedits Beeswax Magazine and spends the remainder of her time as a freelance writer and letterpresser. She truly believes that someday she will master the ultimate multitask of blogging while letterpressing, though that might mean that she'll need a second pair of arms.
