Man Product

One easy way to come up with a new fashion trend (and thereby fill a few yards of copy in newspaper style columns and fashion mags) is to take something that traditionally only women wear, and create a male version. Then invent a new name that's a tortured masculine version of the original word.

Finally, get a picture of David Beckham wearing your newly invented product. The best way to do that last bit is to send a free one to Victoria.

So far we've had "guyliner", "mantihose" and now "meggings". What male versions of female accoutrements will the style gurus think of next?

I have some suggestions for them:

Malepolish - Nail polish for men! Comes in a range of practical styles and colourways including "Desert Storm", "Nostril-Proof" and "Hammerite".

Desert Storm Nail Polish

Geezerdle - Girdles for geezers! Nuff said.

Chapstick - Lipstick for chaps! (Possible trademark issues with this one.)

Sir-kirts - Skirts with pockets! Actual fucking pockets!! I'm sure no-one's thought of that!

BLUSHMAX! - Accentuates the cheekbones, to the MAX! (Not to be confused with Original Diet Blush, which looks exactly the same but is designed for ladies).

BLUSHMAX! Dermal tone delivery system

And finally...

Tena-Bloke - For every woman with bladder weakness, there's a man with a weakness for getting bladdered. An absorbant pad that's able to cope with the thinner, faster flow of six pints of Stella.

I welcome your suggestions!
Anonymous justinetime  MUGG boots: The name says it all. UGG boots for men. Somebody is bound to tell me they already exist & that I'm woefully out of touch, no doubt.

Stihletto heels - made by the famous macho power tools company & like ordinary stillies aside from one or two refinements, namely an extra-sharp point handy for gripping trees while climbing - and the obligatory protective steel toe cap. Can be safely worn with non-sandal-toe hosiery. 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  You've been scoped on the sir-kirt. Check out Utilikilts!

I could be persuaded by the Malepolish though. Black/white/grey urban camo for me please. 
Anonymous Alli' Cat'  I seem to recall stumbling across "manties" some time ago - quite by accident you understand. 
Anonymous Alli' Cat'  Whoops - forgot to mention: Girdles for men already exist apparently, they're called "mirdles".

(Oooh, nice catpcha: "wheshe" :-D ) 
Anonymous NH  Manpons or Tompons: To prevent unsightly stains getting on your pants.

Guy-highs: stockings for men.

Teddy-Boyz: Teddies for guys.

Extra-Shirt: Basically, it's a dress. 
Anonymous Anonymous  I'd actually quite like skirts to be available for men. Size12 fits me round the bottom, but are far too small round the waist, yet Size14 fits OK round the waist, but are pathetically bad around the bottom.

As for tights... what else is there to wear in cold weather? 
Anonymous Kristina R  It'sime for men to get the "girlfriend" trend in clothing.

The mandeau bikini?

Duct tape waxing strips? 
Blogger Jeremi and Aarin  the closest I can think of for a skirt with pockets would be the UTILIKILT. Not really a skirt yet not your traditional kilt. 
Blogger Calie  Been thinking about this one.

I know! MANTIES

Alas, just to make sure, I Googled it.

Someone else already had the idea.

Anonymous Alli' Cat'  Just thought of another one:
Hows about some sort of treatment for the male fingernails? You know, like trimming, filing, polishing, excess cuticle removal, etc.
They could call it a...
.
...oh, hang on...
.
...I've got it...
.
... a not-woman-icure! 
Anonymous Jessica Sideways  Sheepishly...

The skirt I'm wearing right NOW has pockets... And so does the black courderoy micromini that my boyfriend likes me to wear sometimes. 
Blogger Gabriela Julie Budd  No well dressed over-sized man can go without a bro.

To hold man boobs in place. 
Blogger LucyTolliday  Think the best I can do is gillettos. I think a lot of these 'new' products are cheap publicity stunts, with the exception of the man-bag.
