On this Link is a USA ABC News Video Report - Watch it.

I think it's a great idea! People should still get into better shape though.

IKR and all you have to do to pay for it is have **** loads of mental and physical health problems!

The top comment on the article sums up the Daily mail
Not as bad as this newspaper is for young girls

All the daily mail does it rip apart females appearances
I think spankies are fine tbh

That may be true, but think about the poor unsuspecting fellas that will spend all night getting a stunning woman into bed with them only to find out that they weigh 20 stone and have stretch marks all over them

It all just seems like a nasty trick to me

well women have been putting up with that for centuries. It's much harder to tell what kind of shape a man is under his shirt than what kind of shape a woman is, cause women wear much tighter clothes in general.

so many times i've brought a guy home only to discover his shapeless jelly belly later on.

not to mention the other things men are able to hide under clothes which can be very disappointing....infact the most important thing... lol

What about the ABCNews Video
on that link - thats nothing to do with the D.Mail.

Very, Very True :)

I don't agree with holding your weight in though, just imagine how much pain you must go through under there lol.

Let it all hang out I say.

I used to wear one when I went out in town.

I've not been out in ages, but I think I'd still wear it to feel better about my looks

Why? Men love curves on a girl ! :evilgrin:

PMSl. I doubt they work this well :p

They will trim an inch or so off, if you are slim to start with I would imagine. If you tried to wear something like that when overweight, wherever the support undies ended you would get weird looking bulges

You say tis a nasty trick, its pretty much the same as you getting a girl home, then suddenly the chicken fillets are on the floor, shes taking her extensions out, her eyelashes are on your bedside cabinet, your sheets are stained orange the next morning and shes suddenly gone the colour of talc...meanwhile your pillow is black from all the makeup, the heels are off and shes really 5 foot...etc etc :joker:

i hate my stomach

Nobody is perfect. I think it's better to make the most of what you have. :tongue:

Granny knickers on teenagers?....bahahahaha wouldn't dare!
:joker::joker:

that's true
