Wonderpants - The Man's Equivalent of a Wonderbra
The Sun ^ | 27 August 2002

Posted on 08/27/2002 8:18:41 AM PDT by JediGirl

WOMEN have declared Marks & Spencer’s new bulge-enhancing wonderpants for men a truly swell idea.

Yesterday we told how the company had developed the upfront undies, called Urban Survivor, to do for men’s tackle what the Wonderbra has done for women’s boobs.

To find out what effect the £8 not-so-smalls would have on the ladies, we sent model Jeremy Frisbee out on a “package” tour of London’s streets.

With him was pal Edward Cutcliffe, 22, who was wearing his normal no-support Calvin Kleins.

Box of tricks ... girls in bar get an eyeful

Without the benefit of the “pulling pants”, poor Edward was ignored by the girls, who only had eyes for Jeremy.

Receptionist Michelle Peak, 24, of Beckenham, Kent, said: “The pants are great. I am shocked that they can do that for a man.

“I couldn’t take my eyes off his bulge. Who says size doesn’t matter?.”

Giant sighs ... Jez and Cathy Cook

Credit controller Tasmin Nother, 26, from Enfield, Middlesex, said: “I wouldn’t like my man wearing them if he was going to get all this attention.

“But they are great for a guy who has a maggot rather than a snake.”

But supervisor Michele Faires, 24, said: “I’m not bothered about size. It’s what you do with it. My boyfriend would be too embarrassed to wear these.”

Grandmother Cathy Cook, from St Katherine’s Dock, East London, said: “I don’t know where to look. I am shocked that good old Marks & Sparks have come up with this. I’m not too sure if I could get my two sons to wear them.”

PA Anna Hazel, 33, from Camberwell, south London, said: “What a whopper! My hubby is just fine down there but it’s a great thing for men to be able to buy from the high street.”

Marina Chrysanthou, 29, an accounts assistant from Camberley, Surrey, said: “For years women have been able to buy push-up bras and tummy controller underwear so it’s about time men had something to help them in that region.”

Marks & Spencer yesterday bought 1,000 copies of The Sun

featuring their undies. They will be given to menswear departments to help them cope with the rush of customers when the smalls go on sale nationwide next month.

To the tune of "The Last Time I Saw Paris":

I'll ne'er forget our wedding night.
Her figure nice and neat
Slid off like icing on a cake
And landed at her feet.
The last time I saw cotton
Was on the floor that night
It might look good in fancy clothes
But it's not much fun to bite.

My FATHER sings this! (I hasten to add that the ladies in our family do not need any artificial endowments . . . and neither do the men. :-D )

CAUTION - GRAPHIC!

LONELY LOGGER WITH WOODY

LONELY GIRL DREAMING

FUN ON THE BEACH

Am I the only guy on the planet who doesn't find that attractive?

Quite possibly, yes.

Many folks will follow an image straight to Hell, if the last 80 years of elected officials are any clue.

So it's cool now to walk around with a giant stiffy in your pants?

I know what you mean, in the ninth grade I went to a school where the ninth graders got off first & then the high school kids got off the bus. It sure was hard (No pun intended) to try to walk down the aisle of a school bus with one, without poking somebody in the ear. It didn't seem very cool back then.

With my luck, I would wear them backwards.

No, no, no... For that, there's DEPENDS.

"Why is it not funny for girls to stuff tissues in their bras, and wear high heels to project their butt? "

Cause on them it looks good! I mean, have you ever seen a GUY with tissue in his shirt and high heels? They look ridiculous!

Worse, what happens if you've got to go pick up your son at his Cub Scout meeting and you forget you've got your bat pants on? You're hosed. What are you going to do, carry around your math book for the rest of your life?
