New Men's Swimsuit Guards Against 'Shrinkage'

Remember that episode of Seinfeld when George Costanza is changing out of his swimsuit, and a girl he's interested in accidentally walks in and laughs, because he's suffered a little post-pool shriveling?

"Shrinkage" -- that age-old age-old problem of guys worrying about their manhood looking diminished after taking a swim -- might be solved. Introducing the "Rooster Booster" -- a $25 lycra bathing suit with a pocket in the crotch.

In the pocket, a guy inserts a breathable foam padding. The manufacturer claims it not only guards against shrinkage, it also keeps a man warm in a spot where he never wants to feel ice cold.

"No one wants to look at the frightened turtle when a guy gets out of the water," designer Michael Yarwood tells my friends at FlashNews. "Every girl will tell you, a wet male crotch dressed in lycra in not attractive.”

While some will dismiss the Rooster Booster as nothing more than the latest example of male vanity, Yarwood says its no different than a padded bra, and like a padded bra, it "enhances and shapes" a very important part of your body.

One other advertised benefits: It cuts down on the potentially embarrassing moments when a man steps out of the pool and "no adjustment" is required.
