Groin stretches: Marks & Spencer makes men '2 sizes bigger'

Marks & Spencer is extending its reputation for excess packaging to an altogether different type of package. Flushed with the success of its "2 sizes bigger" bras, M&S is about to give men a boost too, with what it calls "frontal enhancement" pants. These offer a greater "side profile" and come with a "hidden front pouch" to "shape and enhance your silhouette". There is also help for chaps whose problems are behind them: "bum lift pants" to create "a visibly sculpted look".
