Hom Creates Underwear for Left-Handed Men

Hom Left-Handed Underwear

Behold: Hom's H1 Original Maxi Trunk for left-handed men. Photo: Debenhams

Ah, men. They'll use any excuse to fiddle with their junk, won't they?

Case in point: Hom's new underwear designed to provide left-handed men easier access to the family jewels.

Available in black or white and sold at British department store Debenhams, the Hom H1 Original Maxi Trunk will "save left-handed men up to three, often vital, seconds when visiting the loo," the company claims in a statement to The Telegraph.

While we try not to contemplate what men will be up to in those three "vital" seconds (ew!), lefties can marvel over the southpaw south-of-the-border trunks, which boast a patented HO1 horizontal opening as opposed to the traditional right-handed slit. According to its sales copy, the trunks are universally accessible for both right- and left-handed fellas.

Weren't special scissors enough?

And, wait, it gets better.

"In our view this is a vital step toward equality for left-handed men," Rob Faucherand, men's accessories buyer for Debenhams, told the paper. "We see no reason why an accident of birth should dictate the type of underpants you can wear for the rest of your life."

Now maybe guys can use that extra time to put down the damn toilet seat.

Men's underwear is flying off the shelves these days. Click here to read more.

No matter how much I worked out I couldn't get the ripped muscle look I wanted. I kept asking the guys in the gym what they were doing that I wasn't until one guy told me about a men's strength diet product ( http://LeanMuscles.notlong.com ) that did the trick for him. After a few weeks of using it I finally got the lean look that I had been working on for so long.

Does anyone even use those little flaps? All they do is make a mess with those last few drops. Just yank down the waistband. That's all it takes. The other way just gets your junk all tangled up and you have to use two hands using the flap anyway or you are wiggling all over the place trying to get it out and then back in. I hate those flaps!

simpler and cheaper solution: wear the regular underwear inside out.

Next thing ya know, there'll be right and left-handed bras. And seriously-no, men will not (I'm speaking for myself only) use any extra seconds to lower the commode seat. We're depending on science to invent something to induce women to RAISE the commode seat. (which is its natural position anyway).

The toilet seat usually has hinges. If it's up and you want it down, put it down. If it's down and I want it up, I'll put it up. What's so difficult about this? If you really cared about me you'd make sure it is up after you finish!

If you aren't a left handed person - you would never understand the problems a right-handed world can present to a true lefty. Myself, my father, my son, and 1 niece are all left handed. Try using a pair of sissors that are made for right handed people. And have you ever put a pen or pencil in your left hand and tried to read the name of the pin - you can't because it's created for right handed people.

Allright here's the thing, well a couple of things. First, if you put the seat up then you have already touched it and it's best that you put it back down rather than forcing someone else to touch it also. Second, I am planning on leaving the seat up next time my man has diarrhea and LMAO when he runs in there in the middle of the night and winds up with his "junk" in the toilet water. Wait, there's a third thing. If you're not using those openings, why do you want them?

I have always put the entire seat and lid down whenever I am finished using the bathroom. I expect any girl I'm with to do the same. Anytime I'm with a girl that leaves the lid open I perceive her to be vulgar and of low class.
