SYDNEY (Reuters) - Size really does count, just ask Australian underwear maker AussieBum which has just launched the "Wonderjock" for men who want to look bigger.
Since the launch seven days ago, AussieBum says it has sold 50,000 pairs of "Wonderjock", mostly on its Web site www.aussiebum.com and a handful of stores around the world.
"The design of the underwear separates and lifts. The fabric cup protrudes everything out in front instead of down towards the ground," said "Wonderjock" designer Sean Ashby.
"There is no padding, rings or strings," said Ashby, a co-founder of the Internet-based AussieBum firm.
Ashby said the idea for the "Wonderjock" was the result of online feedback from customers who expressed an interest in looking bigger, just like women using the "Wonderbra".
"When you go to a department store to buy underwear you usually get a grandmother serving, which is not the ideal way to get feedback," said Ashby. "Our customers give us feedback. We didn't realise that big is better."
Are they ostrichsized? Or do they only fit hummers?

Why is Xena smiling?
"Rove, you magnificent bastard!"
No way . . . so now women will be able to chuckle to themselves when they undress you the first time? LOL
Fortunately I have no need of padding. :^)
I definitely do NOT want a pair of these. Not now, not ever.
Pairs? Is there something in their target audience that I missed?
Now that I give it some consideration, there is something about the idea of wearing "Jockey" shorts that is a little off-putting.
"Bob! You idiot! Put the potato in the front of your swimsuit!"
"I was in the pool!!!"
If you put a pair on your head do you look brainy?
"I wish these were brains." No, wait a minute.
They aren't, but don't let that stop you from thinking with them. :)
Opps, apparently that other thread was for the same product.
Oh, well, can't ever get too much support.
Except those of us who don't need it.
--yeah--I'd like to see the expression on Miss Honeypott's face when Mr. Studley turns out to be, shall we say "average"---
Jerry: "Like a frightened turtle."
That whole scene makes me laugh.
LMBO! I almost choked on a carrot.
What I find amusing is that Reuters UK has this article listed under "Technology" instead of the more aptly named "Oddly Enough".
