    If your aim is to repel any man within a 5km distance, then sure, they work.

    Most women wear them when there is no chance of things getting to the point where the man will see their underwear.

    When we think that may happen we tend to choose more appropriate under garments.

    In all fairness, they are also a way to keep our virtue in check. They are the last thing you want any prospective boyfriend, or whatever, to see. So you wear them for the first few dates. :)

    False advertising in other words. The more Pighead hears about these control pants the more he despises them. Let it all out girls. Flesh is beautiful.

    what are control pants?

    my first impression, from the name, was that they are pants incontinent women wear. however after reading this thread I have come to believe they are more like a modern day corset. am I wrong on both fronts?

    LOL they are not used for incontinent women. You are right in your second point, they are a modern day corset. The most popular ones in Ireland go by the name Spanx.

    I think they need a name like Spanx given how very matronly they look............when deciding whether to wear them or not a girl is faced with the Bridget Jones dilemma.

    I think that you pay for what you get, cheap ones in some shops will not do what it says on the tin...expensive ones with a good elastic will sort out any tummy :p

    Im a girl and i though control pants were something to do with incontenance too ! I was kinda thinking was this a thread for the older lady !
    Any how its not casue im not girly - I like pink and cow patches - its just i dont need em yet.
    So they are kinda like the wonder bra for your tummy but with the opposite effect.

    So basically,

    They're to trick us into thinking you're "fit" when in actual fact, you're not... :eek:

    Oilrig,

    buy some. if you need them you'll have them to hand. dont' over do it on the tighter pairs though, it's nice to be able to breathe as well as appear a few inches slimmer.

    If that is true, then what the hell is the point in wearing them? :confused:

    Sometimes even the skinnest of girls have a problem with a little bulge here or there that makes a dress or a pair of trousers just not fit right. Makes them feel more confident if they know they look their best.

    And would you be ok with a bloke who shoved a "control banana" down his trousers to make him feel more confident?

    You see this bloke on the dancefloor, you look at his crotchal area, mouth open wide in amazement at the wondrous bulge on display.

    You go straight over to him, whisper in his ear "I wanna make love to you my big lovely bulgy man", you bring him home, rip off his tight fitting trousers and tear off his underpants with your teeth. And then the wetness starts to dry as his control banana pathetically falls to the floor and you're left staring at his shrivelled up maggot.

    So basically jules80, what Pighead wants to know is, would you be so supportive of control bananas?

    It really makes my day to wake up and see you posting Pighead, i know im gonna have a super fun day!

    Firstly im not that much of a slag to do something like that anyway. And im sorry to say but size does not matter. Im not the kinda of muppet who think that looks are more important than whats between someones ears or what kinda personality they are.

    Nope, Pighead still hasn't got round to seeing that film babes. Its been on his to-do list since 1991.

    Its a long bloody list though so it may be some time yet before Pighead has the pleasure of watching it. Anyway, Happy Friday sweetcheeks.

    EDIT: Just googled Control Banana and Spinal Tap. Theres no mention of them being related. Are you drunk already Babes?
