Stiffies!

Just . . . wow.

PS-This has to do with men's underwear, so if you're at work (or dealing with kids you don't feel like discussing underwear with) be warned.

dare i ask how you stumbled across that website? :)

BabBab,

You read my freakin' mind.

I'm not entirely sure how these things are supposed to work, either.

I'll stick to my current brand of choice, as it took me 12 years to find.

I check a blog called Pop Gadget everyday, and this was just too good not to share.

Did you see the little graphic with the banana?!?!

Unless they have something involving a plantain, I'm afraid I can't be bothered.

-J., still not sure how the whole thing works

wait a minute - it took you TWELVE years to find your preferred brand of underwear? Finding someone to marry didn't even take me that long....

Yes. 12.

Without going into lurid detail, the problem was there wasn't one brand with all the features I wanted in one model. Jockey's "Midway" came very close, but the fabric got too stretchy after 2-3 washes and the leg was of insufficient length.

Some of the ones that had the ideal length of leg bunched that leg up when you donned trousers, so you felt like Ghandi had made your skivvies. Which is no fun under suit trousers.

And so on.

Then one day I found an Italian (!) brand that combined all I sought into one model and I was all set. Except that finding them in plain white was/is a nightmare.
