Seamless Nanotechonlogy Bamboo Charcoal Smart Mens Briefs

These brand new Greenyarn Smart Mens Briefs are prelaunched and not for sale yet, but I've a pair to try out.

Containing Eco-fabric, these underwear are supposed have the following benefits:

Antibacterial and antifungal  Bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticide and bamboo-carbon nano particles still retains its natural antibacterial and antifungal functions, bacteriostasis and deodorization. As Eco-fabric has natural antibiosis function, it should not cause any allergic reaction to the skin, unlike other fibers sterilized with antimicrobial agent. Breathable and dry Bamboo-carbon yarn has a cross-section filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes, hence compared to other conventional fabric; it has better moisture absorption and ventilation. Eco-fabric products can absorb and disperse sweat fast, making them feel dry and comfortable. They also do not stick to skin during hot summer days. Thermal regulation Eco-fabric products not only feel cool during hot days, they also have great insulating effect of maintaining temperature in the cold. Absorption and emission of Far Infrared Radiation Bamboo-carbon nano particles can absorb far infrared radiation from the environment, and emit them to help in cell activation, promotes blood circulation and metabolism in the long run. De-odorizing As bamboo-carbon has porous structure. Eco-fabric can absorb and decompose benzene, phenol, methyl alcohol, and other harmful substances. Prevent static electricity buildup As bamboo-carbon nano particles are conductive, their presence in the fiber helps Eco-fabric prevent charge buildup. As a result, wearer of Eco-fabric products will not experience unnecessary static-electrical shock even in dry conditions. Green Using Eco-fabric generally will not cause any allergic reactions as Eco-fabric gets all its above properties from bamboo. Harmful chemicals are not used during production of Eco-fabric. Washable As the bamboo-carbon nano particles is distributed inside fibers rather than on their surface, Eco-fabric is washable without diminishing the effectiveness of the carbon powder's special qualities even after 50 washes.

But benefits or not, I've tried these underwear for a few days now, and here is the review.

Feel
These underwear feel like compression wear. They give you support but are not constricting. Unlike compression wear, you do not feel them at all. They are not boxer briefs and they provide great support for sports, yet you can hardly feel them.

Appearance.
It only comes in 1 color, dark grey, and I feel its fine as I don't really show my underwear. There are no brand logo on the outside, just a hashtag behind #BUMFONDLE, which describes how it feels -- so comfortable you want to touch that bum... Very basic and plain.

The underwear is of an average length, giving enough support for sports. It will not appear when you wear regular shorts.

Moisture Wicking.
These Briefs really do wick moisture very fast. They feel dry and make you feel dry after sweating a lot as well. They are also dry-fast.

These features makes the briefs great for traveling as they can be washed in the evening and hung dry and ready the next morning.

Comfort.

Having a seamless construction and made with no restrictive rubber, these briefs do not leave any stretch marks. For a person who travels a lot, this is an important feature as I do not feel uncomfortable even after prolonged use.

Antibacterial.

The antibacterial nature of these underwear makes them great for hiking and sports. After sweating a lot, and continuous use, I do not get rashes unlike using my regular cotton underwear.

Non-abrasive.
The seamless weave with 90% Eco-fabric is one of the lowest abrasive fabric that wicks moisture. Wet or dry, these briefs do not cause abrasion, which makes them great for long distance running.

Overall, I like these mens briefs, they are plain, simple and works.

Greenyarn Compression Socks

Compression socks -- socks with the right compression is definitely very useful and important for a certain group of people.

Compression socks are socks with the right compression zones. Unlike normal socks, compression socks do not have a tight cuff to hold the socks up. This is particularly useful for the various groups of people.

1) People with poor blood circulation on the feet. People with diabetes or other kinds of disorders. Having no restrictive cuffs, compression socks will not restrict blood flow. Having the right compression on the right place, the socks will stay on the feet while providing the right compression to allow blood to flow.

2) People with swollen feet. With no restrictive cuff, it is easier to wear these socks, some women who are pregnant may experience swollen feet and these compression socks can be put on more easily and fit well.

This pair of Compression socks however has more features than other compression socks. Greenyarn compression socks are 200 needle count cushion base and contain Eco-fabric. Eco-fabric is a material that is embedded with nano-particles of bamboo charcoal, allowing it to be deodorizing, antibacterial, absorbs and emits far-infrared energy and promotes blood circulation and metabolism.

The 200 needle count 3-D knitting makes the whole base of the sock -- the grey portion -- cushioned with fine tiny knitted "springs" unlike regular socks which are 96 or 120 needle count, these "springs" are not like regular rings which gets flatten after prolonged use. The cushioning and comfort lasts the whole day.

As I travel a lot, on the air and on the road, I can probably wear the same pair of socks for up to 36 hours. With a cushioned sole, I'm sure many travelers will also agree with the need of having an odor free, comfortable, nonrestrictive socks which wicks moisture quickly.

I personally am not suffering from any disease or illness, nor are my feet swollen. But when I travel for long distances, these are the socks of choice for my travels.

Currently, it is available at CEO Concept Stores in Malaysia. (Penang)

Greenyarn Greenfeet 3 Carbon Fiber Insole

Loved the insoles & socks! v v comfy! great value for money! -- Harveen

Where are you all my life? I've used so many socks, and these socks are just amazing. My feet feel so clean taking off my socks, and the insoles are so comfortable! Would defo recommend -- Seng Hock

Ran 10km in them, feet did not hurt, it really works! Would love to get more, where can I buy them? -- Daniel

Wow, bought this and loved it. Carbon fiber arch is very comfortable. Would love to get few more, where can I buy them? -- David

Bought your Greenfeet 3 at SPH and it is very comfortable. Can please advice where can I get this particular product. -- Seng Hoe.

I've tested the prototype for a few months now, and initially when I put it on, I felt the carbon fiber formed arch pushing on the arch on my feet. It was not uncomfortable, but I can just feel it there for about an hour and then, I stopped feeling the insole.

With the prototype insole, I could walk further, longer and my feet hurts less after. I do not suffer from any foot problems or flat foot, but it still benefited me a lot. After one or two runs, I started loving the insoles as it gave me extra support and balance. When I wore my canvas shoes with the insoles for cycling, my arch does not hurt, even after long rides.

I've some feedback from people using the insoles for ultramarathons and long distance running, and when they use the prototype insoles, their heels do not hurt anymore, but the ball of their feet is the only sore part.

After some final modifications, the production insoles have less of an extreme arch, a lighter piece of carbon fiber, and a cushion pad for the ball of the feet.

I'm wearing the new insoles for 10 days now, and it is indeed comfortable. If you are interested in trying them, Greenyarn will be launching them shortly by the end of the year.

Moist+ 2 Review.

Moist+ 2 Facial Masks.

Moist+™ 2 is a relaxing at-home facial treatment for vibrant, soft and silky-smooth skin. The soft Eco-cotton facial mask will give you the moisturizing and relaxing benefits of a spa-quality facial in your own home. Each mask is pre-cut and pre-moistened with a relaxing mix of rose hip extract, marine collagen, Hyaluronic acid, Mulberry Bark Extract and Matricaria extract, to moisturize your skin and boost its radiance.

From the packaging, it looks like a simple Facial mask, but after opening it up, I was pleasantly surprised.

The Unique Facial Mask has a very nice pattern, and the grey parts contain Eco-fabric which helps absorption of nutrients.

It looks very interesting and the mask, backed with a piece of plastic is easy to open and apply to the face.

The nutrients are also very thick, and pretty much odourless, with just a tinge of faint refreshing smell. The thick nutrients feel good when applied, and the mask fits rather well to my face.

Directions:
Wash face thoroughly.
Open packet, take out pre-moistened mask and unfold.
Apply mask to face and press lightly with finger-tips to set in place.
Relax for 15 minutes and remove mask.
Discard mask after use.


After 15 minutes, I rinsed my face and my face does feel softer and refreshed. The short 15 minutes of relaxation also calms me down after a long day at work.

This is simply Genius!

Ingredients：Rose Hip Oil , Marine collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, Extracts of Matricaria, Bamboo Charcoal, Mulberry bark, Sea Weed Extract, Perilla Extract, Carbopol, Butylene Glycol, Methylparaben, Distilled water.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

The masks feels top quality, and compared with the top brands like SK-II, it actually feels similar, but the masks looks more interesting.

Many people were afraid of Methylparaben, but I did some research, and found that top brands are using them, and though Paraben is banned in Japan, SK-II and Moist+ 2 are sold in Japan and according to many credible websites, MethylParaben seems completely safe.

Wikipedia Entry.

I would totally recommend this product.

Moist+ 2 Review.

I've used many facial products in the past as I have sensitive and oily skin, which makes my face prone to Acne. When I take spicy food, I can prepare for an outbreak of acne.

However, since I moved to the US, my skin became much drier as the humidity is lower, but still, there are a lot of oily spots on my face.

I have discovered that regularly washing gets rid of the oily spots, but it is just curing the symptom, and to enjoy oil free and acne free skin, the using of moisturizing products is key.

I've tried many facial masks in the past, cheap Korean ones to SKII, the very expensive ones from Japan, in my opinion, the cheap ones are worthless, as they are simply paper masks with water, nothing more.

Moist+ 2 from Greenyarn is definitely something worth trying as it is not too expensive, however it performs as well as the best masks in the market.

The Facial Mask is very soft, and comfortable to put on. In fact, it is so relaxing that one may be in danger of falling asleep. The mask is free from any fragrance and preservatives.

Basically, the facial mask contains nutrients to moisturize the face, making it feel tighter, removing wrinkles and boosting radiance just after one use. It is sort of like a home spa treatment, and effects can be felt just after one use.

The masks are easily folded out from the individually packaged packs and applied to the face for 15 - 20 minutes, and after that, the face does feel a lot smoother, and the skin feels tight.

After using the mask, I noticed that my oily spots are gone, and my face feels good after a rinse.

I would recommend it, and basically just say, give it a try, you've got nothing to lose.

P.S. this mask may be addictive, I've know many people using it and now back for more, including me.
