Man Spanx: Do or Don't?

Here are two words I'd imagine most men have zero interest in hearing or experiencing: Men's Shapewear.

Yep. That's the polite way to say "man girdle". And those bad boys are selling like hotcakes. Companies from Spanx to Insta Slim are literally banking on beer bellies.

Guys don't care if it means wearing something that could double as a wetsuit under their button down. "Compression shirts" (eek!) are the quickest way to tackle a gut without doing a single sit up.

Personally, I think this sounds like the clothing alternative to gastric bypass surgery. If he eats more than 6 peanuts at a time, could he explode? And it must get hot in there. I definitely wouldn't want to be around someone trying to rip that sucker off at the end of the day.

Unless of course, you're this happy guy:
