Which dual pouch is better Separatec or Archy Please get back
ich nenne ein stück DAVID ARCHY, mehrere verschiedene modelle separatic sowie zwe 3er pakete EVERYDAY.und alle diese hosen haben einen gemeinsamen nenner: sie sind genial , leider fand ich diese hosen viel zu spät,so hätte ich mir viele hundert EUROI erspart für die anderen wunderschönen hosen,nun ja, jetzt bin ich stolzer besitzer der wohl schönsten und einzigartigsten hose de ganzen universums!noch eins muß ich festhalten, ich habe normalgröße "M"und kaufte auch "MEDIUM"und mußte zu meiner großen freude feststellen dass alle ausnahmslos perfekt passen, ich hoffe, daß ich anderen mit meiner meinung helfen konnte. vielen, vielen dank!
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?
