Hip-T: An End to Plumbers Crack?

Looking for that perfect christmas pressy? Sick of looking at a plumbers crack or whale tail? Tired of muffin tops and thong exposure?

Then the Hip-T is the answer.

Can we put an end to this?

If you don't know what I'm talking about - here is a more apt description of buttock cleavage:

Buttock cleavage is minor exposure of the buttocks and the gluteal cleft between them, often because of low-slung trousers.

Two moms have come up with a simple idea - designed to keep "your assets covered". The Hip-T is a simple item of clothing that made from a stretchy fabric that is worn over the jeans and under the shirt.

Sells for $19.95. I honestly can't see any plumbers or builders wearing such a creation.

See also a news piece about the item.

I can't imagine teenaged girls actually opting to cover their whale tails. After all, the whole purpose of wearing low-slung jeans, which are more like chaps, is to show off their assets! And what self-respecting porcine plumber would wear one of these? They're selling these cut-off t-shirt tubes for $19.95 (plus s&h)?!!? BT Barnum would be pround.

I actually like how they look, but that's only because I dig the layers. The same thing can be accomplished with a long, lacy undershirt so there's no reason to spend twenty bucks for a fabric tube!

Just plain funny lol. It's funny but they are already making a lot of cash and good for them. I like it. However, it doesn't solve the problem for guys or plumbers because they wouldn't be caught dead with one of those things on. :)

Don't Hip-Ts defeat the purpose of wearing low-slung jeans in the first place?

I wish I could be so careless. I'm ALWAYS aware when my butt is hanging out. You feel a draft, you know?

Why not just wear pants that are cut a little higher in the back, thus avoiding the problem entirely?

Oh, wait. It's because you can't find normal pants in the stores these days.

I welcome anything that will keep that ol' muffin top looking less "muffiny". I do wear a camisole these days under EVERYTHING just to smooth out the middle age middle.
Honesty, thongs are the underthings of the underage.

Love these! All they sell anymore are the low rider jeans and I dont like my butt hanging out, so these would be perfect!

I have never had to buy, or wear, low rider jeans or pants. People who wear them do so by choice, not necessity.

I wear low rise jeans all the time, and I've never had an exposure problem. Besides, hasn't anyone heard of low rise thongs?

Ugh, I hate seeing visible thongs. I used to wear thongs myself, but not anymore because they're not so comfortable. I doubt a lot of people will buy this thing only because yeah...that would require admitting that you are showing your asscrack. Why not just wear longer shirts or buy jeans that are cut a little higher in the back (they exist, you just have to shop around a little bit).

Well, I agree the price is a rip-off--a normal tube could do the job as well, just wear it lower. But at least they're taking a stand against indecent exposure! I loved the website. I think Plumbers Cracks are ugly and gals, you do not want guys to notice you for the wrong things. Love.

Take one old T-shirt.

Cut the top off of it.

Wear over jeans and under another shirt.

Duh.

Million dollar idea because people like to buy things pre-made.

There is already an item available for pregnant women called the bella band. It is exactly the same thing - a tube that fits below your shirt and looks like a layered t-shirt. It's meant to help keep your pants up and extend the usefulness of your non-maternity pants. It's a nice idea these ladies had, but IMHO it sound like they ripped off the Bella Band.

Don't get it

I don't get this item...just buy a pair of jeans that covers your "bum" and if not love yourself in your low riders. I don't believe there is a need for this item...no use!!!

REally I do not get these "HIP T"s??? Why Why cover up? Just buy jeans that fit or let it all hang out!!! Waste of $20...

Waste of money. Let people wear low jeans if they wish.
