Oh my giddy aunt.
Handerpants are, exactly what they say they are: Underpants for your hands.
If you wonder what on earth a person could want with handerpants, do not worry. You are not alone.
I, too, was quite perplexed by the notion that people who could just buy ...gloves, for e.g. would need to buy handerpants.
(Apart from the fact that their mere existence is quite, quite hilarious, of course.)
I’ll let the people who sell them, the fine folks at Archie McPhee, the US pop Culture Store, explain: “Slip them on underneath your gloves for extra warmth and protection from chafing! Wear them on their own as a vaguely inappropriate fashion statement!”
There’s even an ad. Please feel free to watch it.
Handerpants! Handerpants! Handerpants!
It cheered me up.
Quite considerably.

I’m perplexed. Do I take these off to go to the bathroom? Is waving at someone rude? Giving a thumbs-up offensive? A handshake obscene? Will masturbation while wearing them cause a fold in the space-time continuum?
They should have some fun with the ads: show a woman eating a hot-dog, a man holding a baseball bat, a black man giving the thumbs-up while ladies ogle, stereotypical gay men handshaking. A man petting his dog (or cat)….risky.
Lol @Robert! All I have is that they look very much like cycling gear and thus terrify me. But you know that, I’m scared of a lot of ridiculous and un-politically correct things.
