I once was running late to my annual physical and after my shower my closet door jammed, locking my underwear in. Luckily I had enough other clothes lyng around the bedroom, because I am a slob (but no underwear) that I could assemble and no one would know.

Merkin is one of those terms, and products, that is sadly not circulated widely enough.

OK, I'm a guy, how the hell does that thing stay on? I guess the elastic band is made out of vulcanized rubber or something?
