Underpants for builder's b**

I'm looking for a Christmas present - partly a joke. I've googled best undies to hide a bb and found the following https://sourireduplombier.com/ translated as plumber's smile - the french version of the bb. There were a number of articles in UK newspapers in 2015 about a young french guy who has designed and marketed them. Although my French is not the best they can be bought on line but with a 12euro delivery charge. Has anyone heard of these or know if they can be bought in the UK or any suitable alternative for the problem :)

    Why are they a joke present ? What makes them any different than ones you can buy anywhere ?

    I would hazard a guess that the elastic band is stronger than "normal" pants so that they don't migrate downwards as you bend over.

    Regardless of the postage from France these are definitely far from the cheapest underpants on the market.

    Wouldn't be any use in our house as my husband is proud to be underpants-free for over a decade :o

    Try looking at the marks & spender website for men's underwear. If somebody has underpants which slip down, buy them the ones marked Comfort. They fit firmly on the waist, not slips down on the hips. My OH won't buy any others.
