It’s not often that a product makes me slap my forehead and exclaim, “Why did no one think of this before?” but that happened to me when I first heard about SAXX, a fine purveyor of men’s underwear, creators of the BallPark Pouch technology that does exactly what you think – keeps things in place down below.
Now, I know this might make people chuckle, but SAXX described the BallPark Pouch technology as a “scientifically engineered pouch that secures your balls in the most comfortable thing in the world – a hammock.” Hey, look, balls, haha, hilarious. It’s a sad state of affairs that we can’t talk about chafing and general comfort levels in men’s underwear in a non-banalised way, even though it affects all of us.
Entertaining and true: if you can’t look after your own balls, can youreallylook after anything? After learning about the tech and receiving a review sample of the rather handsome-looking SAXX pants – featuring a design created in collaboration with artists Sam Taylor – I was eager to give them a try.
There was another reason why I was looking forward to trying the SAXX pants: they make an excellent Christmas present. Sure, we’re all busy window-shopping thebest Black Friday deals, but clever people will use this period to shop for Christmas presents for cheap, and the SAXX pants are excellentChristmas gift ideas.
They are cheap enough to be gifted to relatives or even friends and unique enough, so people don’t think you’re boring. And, based on my experience wearing the SAXX underwear, they are comfortable, too, so people will actually appreciate your thoughtful gift. You can buy SAXX underwear directly fromSAXX.
