Men’s Brassieres
I remember telling a couple of my friends that Men's Bra are in fact selling in the market now... so here's the original article, via SankakuComplex:
Original quote via SankakuComplex:
The latest hot product on online mall Rakuten, in fact now in the top ranking for male underwear, is the brassiere for men; the seller’s copy is instructive:
“It started with a customer’s remark: “Why aren’t there any bras for men?” Why? Because they are not necessary? But there are people who want them, so in fact they are necessary.
Men’s bodies are different from those of women, so a rethinking was required. Materials, design, and even the feeling… Of course, there’s no need, but…
It’s gentle and relaxing; those feelings should be important.
“But I’m a man!” Even with someone like you, we’d like for you to experience that gentleness.
Point 1:Choice of materials.We’ve selected the same material used in men’s shorts. Soft and stretchable, a good fit is assured.
Point 2: Freedom of fit.We’ve employed the “spectacles” design of bra front. The bra can freely move with your chest. Also, you can freely adjust the position of the bra.
Point 3: Relaxation.Unlike ladies’ brassieres, the straps are soft and gentle. Rather than a “bust up” effect, we stress relaxation.
Point 4: Adjustable volume.There’s an internal pocket for padding! If you need more volume, just slip in a pad! 
With this, you can experience “men’s love”. Men want to experience the feelings of women! Your body is that of a man, but you feel like a boy maiden! You want to experience those soothing feelings♪ You need chest support! They might be all sorts of reasons, but gentleness is what you desire most.”
The bras in question are ¥3,000, and available in three suitably effete colours. Men larger than a A-cup look to be ill served, however. If you need such apparel, as they seem to assure you that you do, Wish Room’s Rakuten store awaits.
They also have a line of improbably skimpy underwear, presumably also of interest to their customer base. Can anyone really fit into these? Perhaps is it just their customers who can…
Bed was up to expectations and the amount of pillows and cushions provided was generous.
Explored the resort grounds and found the way to the pools. The pool-side was romantically dim-lited and very windy. The beach was just a stone-throw ahead and I could hear the splashing of the waves from where I was standing.
The calmness of the pool water was inviting; the water overflows to the edge and overlooks the sea. The night-scene at the pool-side was marvelous, yet the photos captured by my camera does not gave it sufficient justice. You really got to see it with your own eyes. Its beautiful~
A yellow-cab ride from the resort front to Chaweng Beach costs 200Baht flat. Was a rainy morning and the town was still asleep. The entire shopping n' restaurant belt runs parallel to the Chaweng Beach, and stretches some 3km - 4km long.
Best thing to be doing in the morning is to hop in to one of these massage palours. A 90min Back & Feet Aromatherapy package only cost 600 Baht. Back massage was done upstairs. Had my back arched and bent and stretched by the masseuse, Thai-style. Skill was great, and service was sincere. 
Downstairs, the feet massage continues. I sanked into one of these huge bamboo chair and felt like a King as my feet gets a good rub down. Tipped the masseuse 400Baht and she went over the moon. (GDP per capital in terms of purchasing power parity of Singapore and Thailand is $49,000 and $8000 respectively - CIA Factbook 2008).
Took a stroll along Chaweng Beach. Best period to be at Ko Samui is between March - October. I could imagine how beautiful this place is during April... will surely return to Ko Samui for its beach.
For the beach-lovers, do remember to wad past the coral-shells belt in the water closer to the beach and you'll find yourself standing on very smooth sea-floor that stretches very far out to the sea and yet the water only reaches your waist. Go frolick in the water and catch the very strong waves~
Lunch @ a seafood BBQ cafe. Service was excellant; the waiter put in alot of effort explaining and recommending the food in Thai-style English. Had Mango-shake...
and ordered a seafood platter... an approx. 500gram lobster, a crab, 2 prawns, and a calamari, with a half a corn and a serving of potato salad... 1200Baht only
Back at the resort, bedsheets were changed and the room reinstated.
Was back at the resort for the in-house Aroma Therapy Spa and Massage. Made an appointment the night before. Top notch service and facilities, with showers attached, and all privacy you need. Resort guests recieved a 50% discount off the package. Paid approx. 800Baht for a 60min session.
Oh, for the adverturous type, you can deposit your passport and rent a 100cc motorbike at only 150Baht for 24 hours, comes with half tank of gasoline. Dirt cheap! 
Rode back into town (Chaweng Beach) after the late afternoon Aromatherapy Massage session. Parked my bike at a roadside and strolled the shops.
The shopping n' restaurant belt parallel to Chaweng Beach comes alive from 3pm onwards, until 12am midnight. Its brightly lited on both sides of the street and very much safe to stroll down alone. 
Restaurants are mostly seafood-based; all fresh catch of the day. Retail shops were generally repetitive after half a Kilometer walk - clothing, scultures n artifacts, souvenirs, DVD/VCD shops, scuba-diving shops, vehicle (trucks, cars, bikes, ATVs) rental shops, painting shops, coffeeshops n eateries, cafes, massage palours, bars n' pubs, swimwear shops, tailor shops, optical shops and convenience stores. 
If there are a couple of things you can do the moment you set foot along Chaweng Beach:
Bank outlets and ATMs are aplently along the stretch of road, so you need not worry about running out of cash.
International brands also found their way there. McDonald's, Burger King, Adidas, Puma, Haagen Das, Swensons, Starbucks, 7-Eleven, Family Mart...
This McDonald's building is one prominent landmark at Chaweng Beach, because shuttle buses will drop tourist from nearby resorts opposite here.
and as usual, long time rival Burger King will always be just a stone-throw away.
Found a nice place by the beach for a candle-lit dinner... (yes, my table and chair was on the sand at the beach and the waves was just about 10 metres away). Didn't drink a lot though... (ya, I did lotsa illegal stuff while at Ko Samui; I rode a bike without licence, without helmet, without insurance, and I was on alcohol...)
Service was great. The manager at the resort restuarant came out to ensure the table settings were done up properly and ensured everything was satisfactory before taking his leave. 
The evening continued with more shopping and finally a rest over at Haagen Das for a couple scoops of ice creams~ yum yum~~ waiter at the Haagen Das was well trained.
Back at the resort for checkout and lunch.
The restaurant overlooking the sea...
Ordered Fish n' Chips. Splendid taste. Fish was thick and sweet. The batter was just nice. One of the best fish n' chips I've had in years.
Then its this dessert... Sushi Sticky Rice with Mango n' Caramel Sauce. I tell you... I rate this dessert at 99.9 points out of 100! The missing 0.1 points being not-enough quantity. 
Samui Airport was pretty much open-concept. Checked in and then strolled around the airport grounds.
Decided to take a rest away from the afternoon heat in Swensons.
Had Firehouse Happy Birthday... a 3-scoop ice cream serving with a lited candle. This particular ice cream was having a promotion. Customers gets to have a polaroid photo taken on the spot. 
After the ice cream dessert, its to board these trams that will take passengers to the foot of the plane. 
Ko Samui is a great place for a getaway. Had a wonderful and exciting memory there. Will return there again.
