Pants for Paxo

We are, of course, far too classy to criticise another retailer's wares but just in case you missed it, here's the link to the Paxo story in today's Times - he is most concerned that a certain high street giant's underwear no longer provides "adequate support" and has sent an email to the chief executive expressing his displeasure. What to do? Figleaves.com menswear buyer Sarah Dolan-Abrahams has a few suggestions: l-r below, Canterbury Ball Control brief, £20, Calvin Klein Steel trunk, £20, and Jockey's 3D Innovations seamless waistband trunk, £10, all of which should keep your package in place. Also recommended: briefs by Emporio Armani and Pringle's classic boxer.

Must say that I prefer to have support in the nether region. Anything too slack and you can be sure I can end up in pain after a few days. Then again those wishing to have children need to have circulation to cool things down there so wearing boxers is ideal.

Paxo also commented on failing gussets. I have certainly noticed failing seams (which I think is what his term means) on the same manufacturer/retailer's goods, and on a certain famous French brand. The dodgy point seems (oops) to be right at the lowest joint where three or four pieces of material meet between one's legs. Once a seam fails it just spreads along to the front or rear. Blooming nuisance, and so disappointing if these briefs have been a really comfy fit.

ITV's this morning did a feature on this and had a good selection of supportive underwear shown including some from figleaves.
