They just popped up in the ads. I think they are designed to turn any adonis into a blob lol Grin

I doubt if even David Gandy could make them look good.

With a bit of luck they have the reverse effect and my wife will buy me some!

WHat in the name of all that is precious was that?

My eyes.... TRIGGER WARNING for all those who come later....

SilverySurfer · 25/02/2019 14:55

PBo83 I dare you to buy a pair and post a pic (especially if you look anything like David Gandy. Grin

Sadly more like David Gower

PBo83 · 25/02/2019 14:59

...Or David Mellor

13thWarriorWitch · 25/02/2019 15:02

Maybe it's not the shorts. Maybe that's just the shape of his legs Grin

NoShitHemlock · 25/02/2019 15:10

Actually.....I am a full on short arse - bet these would be ankle length on me. And even though I am not a bloke I am rather rotund and they look like they hide a multitude of sins Grin

peppersaunt · 25/02/2019 15:12

Forwarded to DH so he can see what he’s getting for his birthday!

Doobydoobeedoo · 25/02/2019 15:16

It looks like the model is wearing a very full nappy underneath.

My eyes! Shock

Doobydoobeedoo · 25/02/2019 15:18

And now that I've clicked on the link, more of those monstrosities are appearing in my ads on the side of the page.

Save yourselves, people! Don't look!

NWQM · 25/02/2019 15:19

Do you think it’s a wind machine or that they are boned to make them stay stickie outie?

Shinyletsbebadguys · 25/02/2019 15:21

I would love to buy these for DP but I'm fairly sure he would have me up at the GP getting my sanity tested in a heartbeat

I once suggested a onesie for a joke and the resulting eyebrow lift nearly knocked the ceiling light off Grin

SilverySurfer · 25/02/2019 15:21

David Gower is fine but Mellor is pushing it a bit (actually a lot)

13thWarriorWitch you think the model is so deformed that his thigh is ten times wider than his calf Shock

peppersaunt I bet he is counting the days Grin

NoShitHemlock I'm a short arse myself but trust me when I tell you these would cause more sins than hide.

I sent a screenshot to DP, I fully expect to be "told off" for burning his retinas when he gets home Grin

whatsthecomingoverthehill · 25/02/2019 15:27

They're called harem pants. I'm assuming because you'd have to pay a woman to fuck you if you wore them.

SilverySurfer · 25/02/2019 15:34

Doobydoobeedoo well at least I'm no longer alone at these monstrosities popping up on my screen Grin

NWQM I can't even begin to imagine.

But they are advertised as shorts - don't harem pants reach the ankle and aren't they made of soft material and not look like they are boned to the shape?

I don't even know who David Gandy is... but those are hideous.

ForalltheSaints · 25/02/2019 15:38

I am a man. Please do not buy me a pair.

Springwalk · 25/02/2019 15:42

It is a form of cast iron contraception.

Absolutely hideous Shock

BarbaraofSevillle · 25/02/2019 15:48

I'm not falling for this again. I've had them bloody jester shoes chasing me round Mumsnet for the last fortnight.

SilverySurfer · 25/02/2019 15:54

David Gandy is a model: uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=AwrJS9e1_HNc2zUAApYM34lQ;_ylu=X3oDMTByZmVxM3N0BGNvbG8DaXIyBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=david+gandy&fr=mcafee

Yes, those stupid elf shoes followed me everywhere.

BlackCloudofGloom · 25/02/2019 16:09

SilverySurfer · 25/02/2019 16:14

He will be... thrilled Grin
