A new underwear that hides beer belly
Here’s some good news for men wanting to shed the belly flab without doing exercises — a new range of boxer shorts can help you out.
A company has developed the figure-hugging shorts, dubbed Manx, the stretchy fabric of which can lift and firm flabby backsides, suck in beer bellies and smooth away so called love handles, the Daily Telegraph reported. Supermarket chain Asda has spent a year perfecting the shorts for the self-conscious male. The high-waisted trunks claim to firm and flatten those unwanted flabby areas, while being invisible under ordinary clothes.
Heather Moreton, men’s clothes manager for Asda said: “We know some guys worry about unmanageable body wobbles just as much as women do so why not offer them a little helping hand to look their best too?”
Asda first introduced figure-hugging underwear in 2009 when it released its body sculpting vest, which became known as the moob tube.
According to researchers one in ten women have resorted to special underwear to improve their figure.

‘Facebook’s young users are lonely’
London: In today’s world, social networking sites have become a convenient way of staying connected with pals, but a study says young people are spending so much time online that they don’t get time to make friends in real life.
Despite having an average of some 243 Facebook friends, teenagers are spending so much time on the Internet that 60 per cent have little time to go out with friends in real life, according to the study based on a survey. The survey commissioned by Yours magazine, involved people aged from 18 to 80, and found that more than a third of people spend more time chatting online than going out with friends, the Daily Mail reported.
And, as many as half of the respondents say they want to combat the problem and would do so by joining or starting a local friendship club.
Sixty per cent said the reason they find it hard to make friends is that using technology to communicate is much easier but a similar proportion said they simply want someone with whom they can have a coffee and chat.
Overall, two-thirds said they “feel lonely” and need more face-to-face friends to make life really worth living. —PTI
