I can't help but think this would only make things worse for someone insecure about their size because now it's giving potential partners a false sense of reality that will be exposed the second they come off. It also seems weird because this isn't the 1980s where "nut hugger" jeans are popular either.

If anything I would think pressing it up against the fabric would give a very very clear "impression" of their average size.
Only if you walk around erect all day. But yeah I don't know why anyone would want this. I got really self conscious about wearing certain shorts because an ex told me my nuts would often show a buldge the way they fit. Never wanted to wear them again, was really hoping no one else noticed such, but who knows
Did they say the bulge was undesired though
The tone/context she said it in indicated she thought it was intentional with a hint of jealousy. So depends on the take I guess. Either way it was a lose lose situation for me and possibly something I should have seen as a red flag and not something to overly analyze... Says the guy who is still desiphering how I should have absorbed that information 14 years later

That's why I want more than a "subtle lift." I want a massive, exaggerated, cartoonishly unrealistic lift.
I don’t hear anything about people complaining about push-up bras, now men are finally getting some sexy clothing too.
Yeah what guy would complain about seeing a woman take her bra off? A guy that insecure is going to have a bad reaction in the same situation.
Okay, but then where are the pants with ball-cleavage? Push-up, for what?
Isnt this the opposite of what you want? For me its so annoying when the package is very much visable through my clothing. I also hate when my hoodie or pants fold in my crotch area.
No. We want support so our balls don't slosh around And showing off our package in tight pants is a bonus
The balls aren't supposed to be supported. They are supposed to regulate themselves to dissipate heat.
You clearly dont ride bicycles.
The balls are the whole reason for the support
I don't see what this has to do with anything. It's a super specific scenario, should I wear a helmet around all day because I wear one to protect my head on a bike?
And water wings in case you decide to go swimming
Dude, we got it, you have a big dick.
Heh. But actually i think its more related to ball size and how it rests naturally. While i have an average sized implement, it likes to rest on the royal jewel cushion so its quite pronounced compared to the size. There is zero tuckability, which i wished i had sometimes cause it can look like im having a wood while its in a complete resting state.
Kids in hs made fun of each other over this relentlessly. Its why so many boys wore long shirts, to cover it up.
I advised a friend once that to get the ladies he should put a potato in his bathing suit. He came back after a day at the beach and said it didn’t work. Turned out he got the instructions wrong; he put the potato in the back not the front.
Another product that - like butt/ab implants and muscle filters for your social media - is designed to make you feel insecure.
It's the cultivation of false needs via generating artificial insecurities. That's what Capitalism often uses to sell you things.
Don't buy a pee pee platter, just be more confident in who you are and what you can do.
Also, wow, The Guardian is running downhill huh? Chasing ad bucks rather than the news.
who lack confidence at the office when their pants are not pushing up their genitals all day
WTF?!
Yeah. Sounds not only creepy but uncomfortable too.
Equal opportunity sexual harassment?
That's why I just warn women about my small penis from the beginning.
I accidentally did this recently.
What I simply said was for her "not to have expectations". What I meant was that I didn't want to have sex on our first night together.
She was very happy to discover my penis is above average.
Like a field mouse in a snowstorm
Bring back codpieces!!
bask in the glory of my penis
I checked your profile and did not find any crotch shots, so I found myself unable to do any basking, sorry.
No thanks, I already have a monster in my pants...you know, space herpes.
Like venom?
A padded bra but for cock. I feel like these could be highly inappropriate to wear in certain situations.
I thought they were just called “boxer briefs”
And my junk bubble already gets enough attention as it is
I thought that said M&Ms and I had a LOT of questions.
What?
Who is looking at people's junk?
Men
can confirm ✅
Haha perhaps it's a well hidden secret that women also oogle the bodies of men
Guess that's reassuring? Maybe?
Idk. I usually try to hide the bulge, seemed inappropriate. It's why I don't usually wear skinny jeans or snug pants.
Maybe I'm more amused that there are men this insecure about themselves. I can't change my height, I can't fix my ugly. But I can certainly show off a little I guess.

I am.
Had a coworker who's pants was ultra tight. Could see outline very clearly.
Is this, like, padding? Or is it literally just extra support? Because, sincerely not trying to brag, I've got a pretty big package and insufficient support leads to extensive chaffing.
If this is just extra support, this could be pretty awesome.
I knew a guy who stared a boxer company with a sort of built in pouch for "the fruit" to prevent chaffing and stuff. The company had the genius name of Dosco Jones. Don't know if they are still around though
It might genuenly make sense for transmascs, other than them I cant see much use
Actually that's a really good perspective. I was chuckling while thinking of the manosphere stupidity, but this is genuinely a good point. I hope these help a trans man.
Whatever happened to the art of shoving an extra pair of socks down your trolleys?
if they do it right, it can be useful for running. running underpants have a little cubby for the balls.
If this interests you, please take a time to look up exhibitionism fetish and understand that no one wants to seen your fucking junk except for few trashy people
