ManxFROM SPANX TO MANX: Made famous by the Bridget Jones films, many women swear by magic knickers that pull you in in all the right places, and now Asda have designed a pair for men. The new £10 Bodysculpt Trunks have been dubbed Manx, in homage to the figure-slimming female knickers brand Spanx. Designed to banish bellies and smooth away love handles, these high waisted boxer shorts have hidden control areas and panels to flatten and support. Heather Moreton, men’s clothes manager for Asda, said: “We know some guys worry about muffin tops and unmanageable body wobbles just as much as women, so why not offer them a little helping hand to look their best too? We’re delighted to answer the demand and give our shoppers what they want. The Manx will help men look and feel great.”
