Big pants for big boys

Now before you turn your nose up at Asda, let me just remind you there has been a recession and, providing those looters didn't empty your local store, there will be a plethora of surprisingly good quality cheap attire - supermarkets have come a long way in the recent years don't you know!

So, these 'Manx' (man-Spanx), as they have apparently been dubbed, what can they do for you? Well, they're like cycling shorts that were made for Simon Cowell - yes they're high waisted. That means they lift your bum, smooth your 'love handles', and slim your beer belly. Genius right? Who needs the gym? Well, let me just give you one little warning - don't go out on the pull in them, because if you do get 'lucky' and find yourself escorting a lady home for coffee, ahem, aside from the embarrassment of actually wearing them, which you will undoubtedly feel, that feeling will be far surpassed by the humiliation that will occur when, due to their firmness, you can barely peel them off you, and when you do, you reveal all those bits you were trying to hide... sexy huh? Ah... now I see your point about lady Spanx...

Whether you love them or hate them though, there's clearly a market for them - turns out at the time of publishing this, the online Asda store has already sold out! Go get 'em guys, go on...
