This week I thought I might like to write something about why men (and it is generally men) like to read comics books – what’s the fascination, why certain guys (and certain types of guy) can spend hours in specialist shops, reading, discussing and, above all, arguing about imaginary, faintly silly, characters dressed in Lycra ...
My attention was drawn this week to an article on the resurgence of the market for men’s underwear. It claimed that men’s underwear is becoming a real “growth category” for the fashion industry, with design innovation coupled with celebrity endorsement (particularly by sportsmen) creating a bigger market. The idea is that, if you can say ...
Someone is stealing women’s panties and sex toys in New Brunswick. In Saint-Paul and Sainte-Marie, women’s undergarments along with sex toys have been stolen from houses and a clothesline. Bearing in mind that the incidents, all seven of them, have been occurring since July of this year, I’m a bit surprised it has taken the ...
If you’re in need of panties, you may want to head over to Fairfield County, Ohio. A whopping 3,000 pairs were found in four separate spots within the area. In just one area, sixteen hundred pairs were counted. That is a lot of undies! So, was there some epic Ohioan orgy with 3,000 or more ...
For all the myths about British sexual repression, I reckon this place is pretty darn open about sex. But the current government have lately become worried about the sexualization of children in the UK. Teenage pregnancy has actually dropped by 5.9 percent since 2008 but this is a government who won’t let the facts get ...
G-strings got rid of your panty lines but for some, that was not enough. Enter the C-string. This piece of underwear (or bathing suit, if you’re brave) is a little bit of fabric that covers your crotch and holds itself up thanks to a wire structure that grabs on your anatomy the same way a ...
Men spend their lives labouring under the delusion that size matters. Now Marks & Spencer is cashing in on that oldest of anxieties. For those who sport an empty boxer, they are offering “frontal enhancement” underwear. An “integral shelf” results in a 38% “visual enhancement in size.” “These pants provide a real confidence boost for ...
Equmen is a company making bras for men! Well, not quite, but I have to wonder how well these form-fitting, supporting, slimming tops would actually work if the man wearing it wasn’t already buff and skinny like the models (see picture). Equmen makes “Core Precision Undershirts” as well as “Precision Underwear” described as: Optimising support, improving posture ...
There is a direct correlation between a man’s underwear purchasing habits and his love life. When he’s on the prowl he buys an average 31 pairs a year, but these numbers decline to zero once he’s found the love of his life. That’s right, the disintegrating fabric in his top drawer is concrete evidence of ...
Finally there is a device that can be used to fix women’s bras when the underwire goes haywire. The Bra Angel was introduced at the British Invention Show and will be in stores in the high streets soon. This is a useful product, and not too expensive with a twin pack costing 3.45 Euros ($5.27). ...
