Spanx you very much

Even with the threat of global warming, winter weather always entails a series of days with temperatures so cold that post nasal drip freezes the second it begins to run down your schnoz.

Worst of all, it can turn your outie (*cough*) into an innie. And no one wants that.

The simplest way to keep everything warm and toasty is to throw on a pair of thermal underwear; preferably long-johns. The technology manages to retain body heat without sweating.

But, the best thing is that they work like Spanx, the well-known collection of body-shapers. Long-johns make your clothes fit better (at least below the waist) by sucking it in, pushing it up, and - when required - lifting and separating.

They’re like a push up bra for your nether regions

Amazing. I’m considering wearing three at a time.

Note: And, yes, it is.
