英國(guó)一家商店正在推廣一款專為男性左撇子設(shè)計(jì)的內(nèi)褲，稱這一創(chuàng)新可以有效解除這一人群在小便時(shí)的費(fèi)力和尷尬。據(jù)報(bào)道，新式內(nèi)褲把傳統(tǒng)內(nèi)褲靠右手處的垂直開(kāi)口改為水平開(kāi)口，打破了長(zhǎng)達(dá)75年的傳統(tǒng)。英國(guó)約有10%的男性是左撇子，但Y字形內(nèi)褲自1935年發(fā)明以來(lái)，一直只在右手邊設(shè)計(jì)開(kāi)口。這款新內(nèi)褲的推出意味著左撇子男人終于可以和其他慣用右手的男性一樣快速高效地解決“內(nèi)急”了。

A British store is launching a range of underpants for left-handed men, an innovation it says will save them both time and embarrassment in front of the porcelain.
The new range, by UK-based Hom, will have a horizontal opening instead of a vertical slit accessed from the right-hand side, breaking a tradition that has lasted for 75 years.
"In our view, this is a vital step toward equality for left-handed men," said Rob Faucherand of Debenhams store.
Almost 10 percent of British men are believed to be left handed but men's Y-fronted underpants have traditionally had a right-handed opening from the time they were invented in 1935.
"As a result," Debenhams said, "left-handed men have to reach much further into their pants, performing a Z shaped maneuver through two 180 degree angles before achieving the result that right handed men perform with ease."
Previously, it added, boxer shorts, with an adaptable, ambidextrous opening in the middle, have been the underpants of choice for left handed men.
The new pants mean that left handed men can finally go to the bathroom as quickly and efficiently as their right-handed colleagues, the store said.
"Switching the opening from vertical to horizontal may sound like a small step, but it's the major breakthrough that many have been waiting for," added Faucherand.
