    A padded bra but for cock. I feel like these could be highly inappropriate to wear in certain situations.

    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.

      That’s why I want more than a “subtle lift.” I want a massive, exaggerated, cartoonishly unrealistic lift.

    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.

    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

      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.
