Male Spanx?

Yes, male body shapers do exist. At least, that’s what I found out from a google search after Mr. Lemon raised the question last night. I was talking about the lengths I had gone to hide my pudge for our engagement pictures, and he began wondering if anyone had started to make a male version of SPANX. In theory I figured that there had to be multiple stores here in LA that carried them due to the body-conscious population, but the idea of them existing just never crossed my mind before.
So my search uncovered quite a few sites that sold male body shapers, and in fact it’s the latest rage in Japan right now. Underwear company Triumph International Japan released a “long girdle” and a “hip hugger” girdle to sell on a trial basis last month, and both sold out within weeks.
So this begs the eternal poll question…

i dont think i’d ever recommend it for him.. haha.
that would be a funny conversation…he would prob. think i was nuts. i dont think guys really need that stuff.. a suit/tux isn’t as fitted as a wedding gown, ya know?
my bf is as skinny as a stick and if anything, he’d probably want something to make him bigger. besides, i already hate the look of skinny jeans…there’s no way i’d let him get away with that kind of look anyway.
He wouldn’t, but neither would I, so I understand. 
I know is hard for a man to wear one of those things but my wife told me that the brand she likes to wear Vedette shapewear she is so obsessed with this brand and she told me that soon they will be releasing a new compression jacket for guys….I dont know I’m actually thinking about it hahaha I do have some extra stuff that i would like to get rid off I’m not fat but guys get annoyed of extra fat specially on the sides and i see how how those shapers worked pretty well on my wife, so why shouldnt i give a chance to it? and now days guys like me care more about their look than ever so I would probably take that risk!

About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!
*my* hubby to be doesn’t need one! he bikes, so he legs might as well be lumber, and his butt is perfect.
