MENS SHAPEWEAR AND GIRDLES? WHICH MEN?

April 16, 2025 by

The notions of mens shapewear came to me over the AM airwaves. If I’m in the car between 3 PM and 7, I’m listening to 1080 The Fan. Yesterday the talk was about fluffy men tightening up. Did they go on and on about diet and exercise mixed in with more diet and exercise? No. […]
