Lululemon is hoping to boost sales among men with a new genital-friendly range of pants. Lululemon Athletica Inc told Bloomberg on Thursday that its ABC pants - referring to their 'anti-ball crushing' design - have given the company a 16 per cent sales hike in the men's sector of business last quarter. The Canada-based company's website describes the pants as 'ABC (anti-ball crushing) engineering gives you and the family jewels room to breathe'.
The site goes on: 'A wide paneled gusset and four-way stretch Warpstreme fabric make these pants commute, travel and sweat ready.'
Consumers were divided over the ABCs. One man wrote: 'Despite the waist, the fabric is amazing however the legs were so tight and the fabric so thin. If I wore these out everyone would know what underwear I have on by being able to see the lines, that's how tight the thighs are.'
But a happy customer posted: 'I love these pants. I wear them as casual, for work (I am a financial advisor) and I wore them to yoga once just to see how flexible they are and they were excellent. 'They are great as travel pants, very comfortable on the plane or driving the car.'
Another added: 'Got the grey initially and was pretty satisfied. I would say there was reduced ball crushing, but they are still pretty snug in the thighs and crotch.'
The company, which is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, offers a range of athletic wear for men along with smarter clothing.
There are 'sweat, post-sweat and no sweat categories'. The athletic brand, opened its first men's store in the Soho neighborhood of Manhattan on Black Friday last year.
And the company is taking advantage of a boost in sales from men's attire and expanding the ranges in stores.

Joe was a successful lawyer, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his career and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across an old country doctor who solved the problem.
“The good news is I can cure your headaches... the bad news is that it will require castration.” The doc paused.
“You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles.”
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldnt concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.
As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a mens clothing store and thought, “thats what I need .. a new suit.”
He entered the shop and told the salesman, “Id like a new suit.”
The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, “Lets see... size 42 long.”
Joe laughed, “Thats right, how did you know?”
“Been in business 60 years!”
Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, “how about a new shirt?”
Joe thought for a moment and then said “sure...”
The salesman eyed Joe and said “lets see...34 sleeves and...16 and a half neck.”
Joe was suprised, “thats right, how did you know?”
“Been in the business 60 years” Joe tried one the shirt, and it fit perfectly.
As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked “how about some new shoes?”
Joe was on a roll and said “sure!”
The salesman eyed Joes feet and said “Lets see... 10-1/2...E.”
Joe said astonished, “thats right, how did you know?”
“Been in business 60 years!”
Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked “how about some new underwear?”
Joe thought for a second and said, “sure!”
The salesman stepped back, eyed Joes waist and said “Lets see... size 36.”
Joe laughed, “Ah ha! I got you Ive worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old.”
The salesman shook his head, “you cant wear a size 34, it will press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache.”
Huh ... Rustler’s calls it “relaxed fit.”
Isnt that the same company that sold see-through yoga pants?
Don’t forget your purse.
