Party time candy man - costume discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Kimmie1980ca

Once again California Exotic Novelties has come up with a great product. Party Time Candy Man is a man's lingerie set that includes a sexy bow tie, and an easy release thong. This item is perfect for in the bedroom, or any bachelorette party. The colors are red and white stripes which are perfect for a sexy holiday surprise. The design reminds me of a candy cane or a 'candy striper'... hence the name 'Candy Man'!

This has become a new favorite of mine... watching my man sport this costume while cleaning, cooking, waiting on me hand and foot, or doing a strip show in the bedroom! This costume can even be worn in the water, as the colors won't bleed or fade.

The fabric of both the bow tie and the thong are smooth and silky to the touch. Costume is made in the USA and sold as a novelty gift. The original packaging states that material is 79% polyester, 21% elastic (elastic), 25% cotton, 75% nylon (trim elastic), 82% polyamide, 18% spandex (Lycra), ABS (hook); However, the label on the thong states that the material is 95% polyester and 5% spandex.

The thong seems to look quite small in size, like little boys underwear. Don't let the size fool you, they do stretch. One size fits most, but is geared more towards a smaller to average man. My boyfriend is a size 32-34 (medium), and this fits him perfectly. The material and stitching are high quality, and was made to last. The elastic that holds the bow tie on is a little rough in nature, and a bit tight if you're a man that is muscular. My boyfriend found it a bit snug, so I made some personal adjustments to it... I just added an extra inch to it since I'm handy with a needle and thread!

There is a slight odor once removing the lingerie from the package, so you will want to hand wash in cold water before wearing. DO NOT put in the dryer, or they will shrink and the ABS hooks could melt.

The thong features an easy release hook on both sides, which allows you to remove the thong without having to slide them all the way off. The hooks are strong, and are easy to release with just one hand. This part is great for some quick and easy access!

There is a noticeable seam that runs directly down the middle of the crotch, which annoyed my boyfriend a bit. There is also a tag that is sewn with the washing instructions, right where the crack is. It was very rough on the skin, and needed to be removed before wearing. Both were much more manageable after a few washes.

My Partner and I are still having fun with this item. The only problem that I have, is they never stay on long enough! Not that I'm complaining about that! These would make for a perfect gift, but would only fit a small/medium body size.

This would be perfect for the holidays, as it reminds me of a candycane... red and white stripes. Most sets like this cost an arm and a leg, but this is quite reasonable.
