A Time reporter and average dad tried on some man girdles and let his daughters judge how effective they were. The mirdle by Equmen brought his 104-centimeter waist down to 99. The mirdle by Ript Fusion also took five centimeters off. So they work! But it's not surprising — why does everyone think women's Spanx are so popular? Because they feel nice to wear and are easier to put on than underwear? Of course not. Props to this dad for being brave enough to dance around in these things before America. [Time]
