Japanese Retailer Sells Bras . . . For Men

Because Guys need support, too—or do they?

Women aren't the only ones fighting the losing fight against gravity that comes with age. Women aren't the only ones who need support in the guise of an over-the-shoulder boulder holder.

According to an article in the Mirror, guys in Japan with "man boobs," aka "moobs," can now purchase a bra specially made for their sagging pecs.

Yes, The Floral Goodnight Bra, otherwise known as the Kahei Oyasumi Bra, is designed to be worn while a man sleeps to provide "round-the-clock protection against the effects of gravity."

"...if a man has good pectoral muscles he is at just the same risk as a woman of having them gradually stretched and left out of shape," said Kaku Nishioka, owner of a Tokyo shop that sells the bra. "A man who wears this bra to bed at night will find everything is held firmly in place and looking good the next day."

OK, she says dubiously. Assuming that is true, it begs the question: why does the bra come as part of a set with matching (floral) underwear?

Methinks someone is looking for a socially acceptable excuse to cross-dress, no? Lads, if you genuinely want to keep those pecs firm, may I suggest the occasional bench press...

What do you say to the man bra—yay or no way?

And while you're at it, dads, nab a pair of these bad boys...
