It's easy to see that women's undergarments have changed since that era, because they tend to change the whole silhouette, but I've never thought about how men's undergarments have changed.

Obviously, anything with such a high waistband is going to feel a little confining at the beginning. But it's no worse than a truss (ha ha).<br /><br />They don't take any longer to remove than a pair of button-fly jeans. The buttons in the back are solely to adjust the waistband, not to get in and out of the boxers.<br /><br />As far as being practical...well, how practical is a La Perla garter belt? You wear it mainly for the way it makes you feel.Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-39900360426546632732010-02-11T18:19:06.285-05:002010-02-11T18:19:06.285-05:00Actually, they turned out fantastic.
