Men suck it in with slimming garments

In the fickle world of fashion, one thing’s for sure: Any trend that catches on with women sooner or later will grab men as well.
Guys clutching “man bags” are a common sight in urban centers. Even eyeliner for men – “guyliner” – has found a following. And now popping up in men’s clothing departments are body-sculpting, flab-corraling undergarments known as men’s girdles, or even “mirdles.”

Starting this month, Australia-based Equmen is selling body-slimming Core Precision Undershirt designed to squeeze a few inches off a man’s beer belly and improve his posture. It’s available in the United States and Europe via www.equmen.com.

“This is a garment designed to physiologically and visibly improve men’s bodies,” said Corie Chung, one of the company’s founders. Atlanta-based Spanx, whose nylon and spandex undergarments for women are worn by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, plans a collection for men this year.

“We have had a ton of requests for Spanx for men,” said spokesperson Misty Elliott. “After seeing our success with firming women’s butts, men are asking Spanx to help them flatten their guts. … Today’s men are more style- and image-conscious, and they’re ready to take advantage of the same style tricks that women have.”

...

A growing number of businesses are selling shaping undergarments for men. Underworks.com, for example, sells the Ultimate Chest Binder for $36.99. A Male Support Vest from Enell.com, which also flattens the chest, costs $75. Compression shorts from Legluxe.com, designed to tone muscles, cost $39.95.

After you squeeze the little man and the twins to death to catch a female, will they still work? Enquiring minds want to know............but I don't..... :-) Mine will continue to "Live Free".

Probably not gonna catch a lot of women if you call it a little man.  You should try something like Paul Bunyan and the mountains.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

I don't get it.
I mean, the idea of looking good is to attract a sexual partner.
Once you do, the clothes come off, and they're still a tub o' lard.

That is why you wait until after dark.  :lmao:

So the Magic Girdle I see advertised on TV is a no go?  They keep showing some flab-tastic woman with a 40-inch waist wearing this thing.  Sure, she got some big ole boobs and the girdle lifts them up, but the minute it comes off, your "date" is going out the nearest window, naked or not.

Too bad.  She has nice boobies.
