    I wish I could join the trend. As someone who’s 4XL this sounds like a dream come true. No more chafing between my oversized thighs daily? Yes please. It would be nice to have these underwear and a big man while exercising, or even just walking. I wouldn’t have to use anti chafing gel every before exercising.

    From my perspective, this design would benefit big people the most. If they were more expensive, I’d pay the difference. If were a subsidiary brand under Sepratec, I wouldn’t care.

    I keep thinking that, by the time I got slim enough to where I could buy/wear Separatec, I would’ve passed the point in my life where it would’ve been most beneficial to me y’know?
