    The version I can't fathom are those jeans which have very structured, regularly spaced holes neatly cut into them.
    (Or is this some kind of post-modernist irony?)

    How about a fashion where blue jeans are made with a dark blue area to make it look like you've pissed your pants?

    I am glad to have never encountered this concept before, and have mixed feelings about learning about it (maybe if I hadnrCOt, it would just die away without me ever learning about it?)

    I considered buying sucgh a pair. Then I wouldn't need to use panty liners any more.

    PS. Is "panty liners" specifically for women?

    Yes. Panties are conventionally womenrCOs clothing.

    If so, what do you call those for men?

    I would use the term rCLincontinence wear,rCY but how you phrased it is much more
    entertaining, thanks!

    I've heard of period costume dramas, but never thought - urgh - til now - thanks a lot.


    Other liners were available for shipping - back a bit.

    If it is any consolation, real life period costumes
    did not have any stoppers, let alone full ones.
    It was one of those unmentionables that Victorian ladies
    had to put up with,
