Bloxers: The Underwear That Hides Your Erection

There are many embarrassing things that can happen in people's lives, but for a man, few outgrow an erection in public. It was based on this that a group of Britons launched on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform Bloxers: an underwear that promises to hold back the excitement of their friend.

It achieves this through an inner layer of fabric that acts as a compression shorts, but without compromising the look of the garment. This inner tissue is on one side of the leg, depending on which side your "mate" usually takes. There is even a model that is more "permissive" and compresses the entire region.

The campaign is full of two-way references - as one explanation says, "It's that simple, even when it's hard" - and the project is asking for $ 20, 000 to get the production going.

The Bloxers come in three different sizes and come in left-handed or right-handed versions, plus the more complete switch switch.

Contributions range from $ 10 to $ 3, 000, but the highlight is the most popular option, which costs $ 40 and entitles you to a T-shirt with an iconic phrase: "Fact: All US presidents have had an erection."

Producers complement by saying that underwear avoids the negative effects on something that is "fundamentally very good". The nice thing about the Bloxers project is that 25% of the proceeds will go to prostate cancer research.

Bloxers shows that innovating can be tough, but it doesn't have to be embarrassing.
