10 best places where your mom can buy you quality socks and underwear

TwitterFacebook

Nothing says love like a fresh pair of socks and underwear from mom. 

But, as with any gift, sometimes the gifter might not get it exactly right. Maybe you’ll get a really ugly pair of socks that would put Justin Trudeau to shame, or maybe you’ll get boxers when you prefer briefs. 

Listen here — you’re an adult — and that means you should be relatively OK with telling your mother that underwear from Wet Seal is not ideal. A gentle nudge in the right direction could do the trick, but if your mother still isn’t getting it, perhaps a little more guidance is needed. Read more…

Pornhub has a new line of socks with porn stars on them, so you don’t ruin your actual socks

TwitterFacebook

Everyone has their own methods of self-care and self-love, and Pornhub has decided to kill two birds with one stone with their latest offering: athletic socks

Featuring adult film stars Asa Akira, Madison Ivy, and Jonny Sinns, the new socks come with a campaign that’s positively erupting with double-entendres, like the hashtag “#beatyourself” and their suggestions for multiple uses.

Corey Price, VP of Pornhub, explains the reasoning behind the product: “For as long as I can remember, socks have served a dual purpose. Not only are they a staple of our everyday attire, but some people have MacGyvered them to serve as a tool for self-love and…clean up. Following our foray into the fitness and fashion industries, it made sense for us to release a sock line that appeals to both athletes and fashionistas, as well as self-love enthusiasts.” Read more…

This company claims to sell the world’s first odorless socks. We put them to the test

TwitterFacebook

MeltMall is determined to take down one of humanity’s most bitter enemies: stinky feet. 

The Chinese company is best known for trying to solve our most pressing everyday grievances with its innovative products: It’s made Lockbook, a diary that locks and unlocks with a fingerprint scanner, and Glovax, a pair of gloves that claims to protect your hands from calluses. 

Now, it’s launching MP Magic Socks, which it claims are the world’s best odorless socks

The socks are infused with three metals — silver, copper, and zinc — which allegedly kill the bacteria in your sweat that cause the “stinky feet” smell you know and love. They’re also designed to be more breathable than your average sock, to the point where the company claims that “it feels like you’re not even wearing socks.”  Read more…

Socks. Just what you wanted, right? *eye roll*
