Happy National Underwear Day!

No really today is National Underwear Day thus proving that America will make up any excuse to party. (Which begs the question: How does one celebrate National Underwear Day? By hitting a piñata filled with undies? Do you hang bras on the mantle at night in the hope they?ll be filled with presents in the morning?) According to Fresh Pair.com 31% of women prefer to wear thongs (not a bad thing) while 21% of men like to wear them too (a very very bad thing). Meanwhile 7% of women don?t like wearing anything at all compared to 10% of men who like to ?go commando.? And 30% of men like to wear boxers while 31% prefer briefs. (C?mon guys lose the tighty-whiteys.) Finally 45% of men would like to wear g-strings but never have. Wouldn?t that chafe?

Anywhoo you?re probably thinking to yourself ?What does any of this have to do with anime?? (Though if you?re like me you?re still thinking about the 31% of women who wear thongs?) Why it has everything in the world to do with anime! Next Tuesday August 19th (Mark your calendars!) is the release date for the ?panty-riffic? first volume of Najica Blitz Tactics! Volume 1 is available as a single disc volume featuring four complete episodes ($29.98 SRP) or a special Collector?s Edition featuring Volume 1 and a beautiful art box designed to hold all three volumes of the series ($44.98 SRP). The real reason to buy the collector?s edition however is to get a pair of the exclusive Najica panties included in each package! (See? It all makes sense now.) The panties are top-quality apparel and are perfect for today?s stylish woman. And if you?re one of the 73% of men who have tried on women?s underwear then have fun. We?re not going to judge?

So strap on your favorite ?draws? (make sure they?re clean in case you get into an accident) celebrate National Underwear Day responsibly and don?t forget to head down to your favorite retailer bright and early Tuesday morning and pick up Najica Blitz Tactics volume 1.
