DD and I recently went to an exhibition of Beachwear since 1850 at the Museum of Fashion in Bermondsey. When we got to the latest in swimwear for 2015 there was a pair of men's swimming trunks that promised to enhance the manhood of the wearer by 2 inches.

DD and I and the only other visitor at the time, another woman, got mildly hysterical over this, with much exchange of ribald comment, another visitor, a man, came up to the display, looked at us, the item we were looking at and moved on quickly!

Don't mention David Beckhama and pants - he wears pants so very well.

Won't they be a bit hot? I always thought that men had to keep their "bits" cool!

Some women emphasise their bust with platform bras etc. - maybe it is time men followed suit with a bit of crotch emphasis. It will stop us ladies having to guess! grin

I suppose it goes alongside jeans worn half way down the bum or even worse below the bum with a tight belt so you look utterly ridiculous

That's caused a rustle in my bustle this morning.

I'm all for men's clothing getting a little more adventurous but I really hope these don't catch on except, perhaps, as undergarments
