I'm going to help you ladies who are looking at lululemon's ABC men's pants

[unsinkable]

I don't want you to be surprised when you are with your teen son and the handsome young man who is working there tells you both that ABC stands for

 

Anti-Ball Crushing.

 

Later my son said, "he didnt even hesitate AT ALL when he said that."

 

The pants DO look...comfy. Alas, out of our price range.

[Cindy in FL.]

My son and I would share a chuckle if that happened to us!

[Luckymama]

:lol:

[Mom-ninja.]

I had to check the website to see if they have it explained there. They do!  :lol:

 

"ABC (anti-ball crushing) engineering gives you and the family jewels room to breathe"

[Catwoman]

OK, now I have to take my dh to the Lululemon store and feign ignorance so they'll explain it to him.

 

We will be right near there this weekend.....  :w00t:

[momto10blessings]

Lol!

 

What's lululemon?

[unsinkable]

Lol!

 

What's lululemon?

It is a store that sells athletic wear and is known for its women's yoga pants. I didn't even know they sold men's clothing.

DS mentioned to me in another store that he wanted something more casual than khakis but not sweatpants. And a youngish woman overheard us and suggested lululemon.

 

And the rest...will probably become an Unsinkable Family Legend. Soon, it will take on Mythic Proportions.

Now if only they would come out with ACT technology for women's yoga pants, the world would be a more comfortable place. :)

Please please please tell me that ACT isn't what I think it is. The T isn't 'tucking' is it?

Bahahahaha, I was just coming here to post that!

Doubt it.

I'm guessing it means "toe". And the C refers to a dromedary desert animal :D

[KungFuPanda]

Wait, I figured it out. 'Tucking' is implied. Same awful visual.

I'm lost.

 

I need a mirror or something. What do women tuck?

 

Last time I needed a mirror:

 

Midwife: "Do you want me to get the mirror? Do you want to see his head? Would that help you focus your pushing?" :lol:

[unsinkable]

They always seem surprised when I snarl a NO! at them over the question. Watching my births as they're happening or after the fact traumatizes me. I still can't look at birth pictures from my first, it was *awful*.

 

With the stupid pushing, I like to pretend it's not happening. Watching would be counterproductive ;)

Awww :grouphug: I'm sorry it was awful, and traumatizing. :grouphug:

The pants do the tucking. I thought the 'c' was the C-word and was pretty mortified until I realized she meant anti-camel toe. It's pretty bad when the camel toe version is the less vulgar one.

[Slartibartfast]

Apparently not so traumatizing that special pants needed to be made for it :D

 

And truthfully I think I'm just freaking out more right now because I'm due any day and having a ton of contractions. Nothing like labor happening to make it hard to pretend it isn't going to happen ;)

 

 

I really liked playing Roller Coaster Tycoon while I was in those nearly due and having contractions stages :lol:

Ding Ding Ding! :hurray:

Sorry to be so vague and cause confusion, but there was no way in heck I was going to say those words on the forum. SWB and Santa are watching, after all. :o

[zoobie]

My kids' eye doctor is wearing these pants today. I'm dying and trying not to think of his Bs. Ha! Thanks for the laugh. :) (and my DH now wants these.)

[Stacia]

Great thread.

We love our Lululemon, especially the sports bras.

Thank you for this VERY informative thread!

 

Alas, there's no Lululemon is located nearby. Bummer.

[hornblower]

lulus are actually quite good at ACT

The also have amazing butt lifting & shaping properties :D

I pretty much live in lulus (because i'm of the leggings are pants tribe & also because I have a bunch of their coats & studio pants & cool down tops....). They have sweet deals online.

I do agree with the critics that quality has gone down.  We have old stuff here that is looking better than some of the new.... Shame. But I still like 'em.

[elegantlion]

so it's a store that strives to keep the boys and the girls happy.   :D Seriously, sounds wonderful. Fashion should acknowledge the anatomy and the issues therein. We don't want to show it off, we just want to keep it comfortable.
