Now, 'male girdle' to guarantee flat tummy for just 49 pounds

London, Feb 27 (ANI): If you are one of those men who just can't get up from the bed to go for a run or hit the gym, here's the solution for you to reduce that protruding paunch and that too without the need of any work out-male girdle.

Available for just 49 pounds, Equmen's Core Precision Undershirt for men is quite similar to women's shapewear or 'control pants' to maintain a trim backside.

Next month onwards, the "core precision undershirt" for men will be available at Selfridges in UK.

Made of polyester, spandex and nylon, the girdles are designed to force men's bodies to look leaner under a slim-line suit, or even to help correct poor posture.

Manufactured by Australian manufacturer Equmen, the vests and T-shirts are already on sale in the U.S. and Australia.

And now the miracle underwear has been launched in UK as statistics show that British men are more likely to be overweight than women.

In fact, former England footballer Les Ferdinand has supported the new control underwear, saying that the undershirt is 'a pretty miraculous product'.

According to a Selfridges spokeswoman, the store was hoping that its male customers were ready for the idea of control underwear.

'It's a very tight-fitting T-shirt, so it's not like we're asking men to wear a bra. It's quite inoffensive," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

She added: 'We've never stocked male control-wear before, so it will be a test. It may be that women will buy them for men, until men become more familiar with it."

Although, designs for control pants for men are currently being developed, there are some brands that are already retailing the male girdles. (ANI)
