Undies for Lefties Store launches underpants for left-handed men
LONDON (Reuters) - A British store is launching a range of underpants for left-handed men, an innovation it says will save them both time and embarrassment in front of the porcelain. The new range, by UK-based Hom, will have a horizontal opening instead of a vertical slit accessed from the right-hand side, breaking a tradition that has lasted for 75 years. "In our view, this is a vital step toward equality for left-handed men," said Rob Faucherand of Debenhams store. Almost 10 percent of British men are believed to be left handed but men's Y-fronted underpants have traditionally had a right-handed opening from the time they were invented in 1935. "As a result," Debenhams said, "left-handed men have to reach much further into their pants, performing a Z shaped maneuver through two 180 degree angles before achieving the result that right handed men perform with ease." Previously, it added, boxer shorts, with an adaptable, ambidextrous opening in the middle, have been the underpants of choice for left handed men. The new pants mean that left handed men can finally go to the bathroom as quickly and efficiently as their right-handed colleagues, the store said. "Switching the opening from vertical to horizontal may sound like a small step, but it's the major breakthrough that many have been waiting for," added Faucherand. Not once have I ever stopped to consider the inconvenience 
Leftie guys, how have you been coping? Will these new Y-front make a difference to you? | |

I'm a leftie, but I'm a lady. Good news for the leftie guys though.
I know the inconvenieces of kitchen appliances and apparatus that are made for right handers. This "left handed store" in London is really great. I 've been there before to buy things like scissors, can openers, potato peelers etc.  It certainly is a right handed world. If I'm ever in a friend's kitchen, everything is the wrong way round  it makes one feel awfully awkward!"Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

Seriously though it's easier to pull the whole front down for access. Especially if you lean in the opposite direction of the opening.  | |

I'm glad I'm a girl.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
