No, if he wanted to wear them. I find the headline "Manx: would you let your boyfriend wear these?" quite offensive too.

Only if he had a VPL. But then I'd advise him to steer clear of anything cut on the bias or made of clingy material.

Didn't Marlon Brando have a similar penchant for corsetry? I'm just not so sure this would have much effect on men's fat - on the whole (and I'm a bit of a chubby chaser when it comes to men so I have a lot bit of experience) men's fat is tougher and a whole lot less wobbly than women's fat - which while advantageous in terms of passing it off as 'muscle' does mean it will not be as malleable and capable of being shoe-horned into a gut girdle.

Agreed Euphemia

Yes I would laugh.

But then I think he'd laugh if I wore Spanx.

Hopefully we are both happy enough with our flabby bits not to need these, and if we're not happy, we know where the gym is.

(Agree headline is offensive. I don't dictate my DH's underwear though it may affect how attractive I find him)

darn, strikeout didn't work

Yes because my boyfriend laughs and calls my spanx my sausage costume

Ive just shown my DH as i think it could give him the confidence to wear a couple of shirts/tops that he feels uncomfortable in at mo, we must have been together too long as never see each other in underwear anymore

Wouldn't help my man and his comedy figure. He's tall and skinny apart from his cartoon football belly.

Wouldn't laugh at him

Would leave him

I wouldn't let him wear them.

It's true though about the fat, isn't beer belly fat on a man pretty solid? Not like my squish squash post baby mum tum which nothing (and i have done everything bar surgery) seems to shift

any excuse for :)

I'd have absolutely no room to laugh, I wear Spanx on occasion to make my outfit sit better and in turn, make me feel more confident. If my DH laughed at me for that, I'd be really hurt.

To do the same back at him would be hypocritical and quite mean really. Life is struggle enough without your loved one making you feel sh1t.

Given that DP, with a "beer bump" as big as my bump (size 8 pre PG) has said the following to me in the past week.
"It's OK, your allowed to be fat your pregnant" and even better "If the baby is only the size of a Banana then why do you have such a big tummy?"
I am considering buying the pants and forcing him to wear them and nothing else in antenatal so everyone not just me can have the pleasure of pointing and laughing. [Grin]

even

I would love to laugh at him in them... cos he takes the piss out of me often enough when I wear mine!!!

i wore the knee-boob suck in suit under my wedding dress, in a very sexy nude colour...as you can imagine my new husband was very impressed as i took my dress off

he wasnt that bothered, managed to get me pregnant that night lol
