Freezable pants are now available to stop your bits from sweating

The heatwave makes humans do crazy things, but one thing we never thought we would be heading off to work wearing frozen boxers.

But that was before we discovered 'Snowballs' , a cooling underwear for men.

Rather than just shoving a pair of pants in the freezer for a few hours before you wear them, the Snowballs actually have a slightly more innovative concept behind them, as each pair comes fitted with freezable wedges that easily slip into a pair of boxer shorts.

Ensuring your junk stays at a favourable temperature for at least until lunchtime, it may come as a surprise that the genius boxers weren't actually invented for a climate crisis, but are in fact mostly used for health reasons.

The freezable wedges apparently encourage male fertility, as well as easing pain, and can be especially helpful if you've just had a vasectomy. So once the heatwave is over, you can keep them safe for any future moments in your life.

The only downside is the price tag, with a pack of Snowballs setting you back £59 for the set on Amazon, which contains two pairs of boxers and three rechargeable wedges. Then a pack of extra wedges is only $4.99 (£3.99).

The company's website explains: "Since the mid-Sixties, scientists have been aware that scrotal cooling can improve male fertility, but no controlled tests were done until the mid-Eighties, when the advantages of cooling were first clinically shown.

"Now, with an increasing number of studies confirming its effectiveness, some of the world's best fertility specialists are beginning to prescribe icing. And doesn't it just make good sense to directly treat the part of the body with the problem?"
