They create some underpants that protect the genitals of children's kicks (yes, it's serious)

The latest in the United States are briefs to protect the genital area of ​​men, but not intended for rugby players or anything like that, but for a more dangerous contact sport yet: take care of your young child.

The underpants that promise to end the pain from kicks and punches in that delicate area are called Fridaballs, cost about 24 euros and to get them, you have to sign up for a waiting list, because the success of these has been such underpants that protect the genitals of children's kicks, They have sold out.

No more treacherous kicks

It seems that the imagination of manufacturers of products for children / parents is endless. We already talked about the magnificent Body mopa, the super safe Mama board and the essential Sleepy wings.

Now the signature of baby care products Fridababy has created some underpants with a protection system that avoids those treacherous kicks that, apparently, always go to the same place when you sleep with your baby or when you carry it (someone should explain to the lord of the photo that is taken upside down, so you would save some hits).

But are you serious?

Well, it seems so, because the invention has been a success in the United States and they even have a waiting list: "Protect your legacy and book now," says its website. However, even manufacturers take their new product with humor. This is how they sell their virtues on the web:

"The blows come and go when you're a dad. Heads, the foot hanging from the baby carrier, the jump right there in bed on Sunday mornings ... FridaBalls is the boxer designed to add branches to your family tree. Each pair of FridaBalls is equipped with a reinforced protective bag to soften the blow and keep dad's friends safe, breathable fabric to keep things cool, a secure waistband that never slips, and our patent-pending family heirloom preservation technology ( HCT). "

The video that accompanies this text is not wasted either. A succession of YouTube videos with blows that hurt even me alternated with pseudoscientific information about this great product.

The magnificent Fridaballs are called to enter the select list of the 10 most absurd inventions for parents / babies. Do you really need some briefs that protect the parents' genitals from children's kicks? Not at all, and that is its greatness.
