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.

I have no desire to relive middle school, like that.

Women simply don't understand that the little trouser devils have minds of their own. If they do, it's more proof that women are evil.

"With my luck, I would wear them backwards."

LOL! Me too Appy, and what gal would be turned on by some poor guy with terminal Hemohorrids ? Maybe a little ephathy sympathy from some little lady who is eight months pregnant-but evidence indicates she is already spoken for.

An unexpected discharge from that prop could make those trousers a necessity rather than a luxery.

"Don't need em."

There are always some who are in denial until someone walks in while they are naked, and backs out the door mumbling, "Sorry, maam."

Remember in your teens, when the greatest fear was that appendage rising to the occasion at the most embarrassing time possible.

As long as it didn't happen in the locker room, I was cool with a terse ligament every now and again.

But the bottom line to all of this: A large bulge is only gonna attract gays.

That explains the AlGore pix. He was just pandering to a constituency group.

Why is it not funny for girls to stuff tissues in their bras,

Well, I think that's funny, too.

I guess us old people just have warped senses of humor. Sorry if I offended you. It wasn't my intention. I was just trying to add some historical perspective,,,, like how it was in the olden days.
