In the spirit of true equality, an Australian underwear brand is fighting for recognition of the curse of the ‘dad bod’ on new fathers.
The video for Bonds shows us a group of friends sitting around discussing how hard it is for men who have had to get up to feed umpteen times a night…on pizza, cured meats and cake.
Over melancholic piano music, a guy tells how his ankles became swollen and he started getting stretch marks.
You think you’re safe from catching sexually transmitted infections (STI) because you use condoms (or, er, never have sex) and then something like this comes along like a slap in the face.
Health Express have revealed the seven alternative ways you can contract an STI. That loads of us do every day.
It’s not pretty.

We’re calling it. 2016 is the year of the nipple.
We repeatedly attempted to free the nipple (coming up against many obstacles in our way). We’ve discovered the eight types of nipples in the world. Someone created a bikini that lets you free the nipple without going topless.
And going bra-free has become not only acceptable (thank goodness for that), but also very much on-trend – particularly if you draw attention to your nips by getting them pierced.
If you’ve want to get on board the nipple-centric fashion mood of the moment, but don’t fancy getting metal poked through sensitive areas, you’ve been a… Read the full story
It’s tough to be stylish while also staying true to your morals.
Sure, you care about workers’ conditions and fair pay. But you also really need a pair of jeans that doesn’t cost the earth.
Yes, you’re a vegetarian. But you also love fancy leather bags. You don’t want to wear evidence of your own hypocrisy, but it’s hard. We get it.
But there are some stylish people who manage it.
After sifting through a huge pile of fashion blogs and Instagram accounts, PETA has officially chosen the best dressed vegan in the UK.

For sale: one art deco wedding dress, worn once, in ‘great condition but needs dry cleaning before wearing to get rid of the stench of betrayal.’
A woman has put her wedding dress up for sale on eBay after her husband ran off with another woman (or as she puts it ‘the skank’) and she doesn’t pull any punches in the description.
Samantha Wragg, a 28-year-old blogger from Chesterfield, wore the designer dress on her big day in August 2014.
But, just 18 months later, she discovered her husband was cheating on her. He left and moved in with another woman.
So you’ve decided you want a gap year/big holiday/sabbatical.
Now what?
It’s time to get saving.
It can seem pretty daunting when you realise how much cash you’ll need for a few weeks/months/years living without any income, but here are some things you can do which will really add to your fund (and stop you having a heart attack a year down the line when you’re in Mexico City and realise you’re penniless without a flight home).

Don’t know about you but our sex education involved a video featuring robots explaining how babies are made, whilst being thrust a giant plastic c*ck and told to unroll some fruity condoms on it.
Needless to say, not that useful.
Luckily, kids in France sounds like they’re getting a better deal, thanks to this giant, 3D-printed clitoris.
It seems pretty commonplace for old (usually rich) dudes to have young (usually hot) girlfriends but one student is defying critics who disapprove of the 40-year-age gap between her and her beau.
Leah Senibaldi, 20, says that she met her ‘soulmate’ Ress Benson, 60, while he was performing in her dad’s band three years ago.
‘When we first met three years ago, our eyes just locked and I don’t know why but I ran up and hugged him – it just felt right,’ Leah says.
The two then started talking online.
However, when her parents found out about the blossoming digital friendship, her parents tried to put a stop to it… Read the full story
We all know that Grindr’s a one-stop-shop for gay and bi guys to get their rocks off but what you might not be aware of is that the app is expanding.
It doesn’t just offer men a safer alternative to cruising – it’s been selling premium tickets to Nicki Minaj and Madonna concerts and now has just dropped its first full-blown fashion line.
The Varsity Collection is a collaboration with the printing design studio Print All Over Me, comprised of 29 separate pieces of sportswear, from brightly coloured, tight-fitting t-shirts to high-cut shorts and swimming trunks.

You can buy a lot of things with £250,000. A studio flat in Brixton. A BMW V8. 10 three-year BA degrees.
But one guy has spent that much on his 2,000-pair strong trainer collection. And it’s so big that they don’t even fit into his London home.
Self-styled ‘shoe connoisseur’ and DJ Kish Kash, hasn’t even had the chance to wear much of his collection, which cost between £90 and 130 a pair.
‘There are people out there who have just gone out to collect but I’m not about that,’ says Kish Kash.
‘That is their choice but for me, it’s all about… Read the full story
We’ve heard the story over and over again. Person works in office. Person quits to escape the office life and travel the world. Person posts loads of Instagram posts about how they’ve found themselves by escaping the rat race and backpacking around exotic destinations.
It’s easy to start thinking that you need to be incredibly wealthy and able to give up the concept of a job entirely to go travelling around the world – mostly because that’s the idea we keep getting shown.
But that’s not the reality.
You don’t need to give up your career to go… Read the full story
Mac ‘n’ cheese (or macaroni cheese, as it used to be called. Why did we ever stop calling it that?) is a glorious thing. It’s pure comfort in a bowl. It’s what a hug would taste like.
Part of the joy of mac ‘n’ cheese is that it’s homecooked comfort food – which means buying it in a restaurant is kind of cheating. You need to make it yourself for the true mac ‘n’ cheese experience.
Which requires a recipe. And a good recipe can be hard to find and hard to follow, especially compared to the ease of microwavable options and awful (but somehow delicious) mac ‘n’ cheese in a can.

So, wedding season finally feels like it might be drawing to a close for many of us.
Such wonderful occasions where you watch the people you love most in the world marry the loves of their lives. Pass the tissues.
It’s all very Mills and Boons until there you stand, at the reception, wine in hand, as the one thing you don’t really want to be. The single girl at a wedding.
We’ve all been there and know that there are some pretty severe stages we get through before midnight.

In the future, instead of leaving passive-aggressive messages for your partner/housemate/kids on a post-in on the fridge, you’ll be able to print them on their toast.
Technology’s amazing isn’t it?
Toasteroid is the first app-controlled smart image toaster on the market. In plain English, that means you can send images, emoji, the weather report, or a text message of your choosing from your phone to the toaster and it will then print it on the toast.
Why Post-It when you can toast it? Right?!
So, if your partner or flatmate is in the habit of taking a piece of toast to go… Read the full story
Kids are always consuming things they probably shouldn’t. It’s what they do.
But it’s not every day that you come across a child who’s accidentally swallowed a dog’s chewy toy.
And now squeaks like he’s the penguin from Toy Story.
Someone filmed Anthony in hospital, awaiting surgery to remove the toy and every time he moves to sit up, breathes in, or coughs, he squeaks.
‘Why are you in the emergency room,’ he’s asked.
And Anthony says: ‘Because I inhaled a doggy toy’.
And when he’s asked how he can tell that he’s eaten the toy, he breathes harder and squeaks louder.

On Jaquie and Andy’s wedding day, they walked down the aisle hand-in-hand. They slow-danced. They stood and posed for photos.
Which might all sound like your average wedding so far.
But Jaquie and Andy’s special day was special for another reason – Jaquie had gone through months of physical therapy so she could learn how to stand and walk for the ceremony.
Jaquie was left paralysed from the neck down by a swimming accident in 2008.

She may only be six-years-old, but Sophia is already keeping up with Kylie and Kendall.
We’re guessing pocket money goes a little bit further these days.
Sophia’s everyday looks are inspired by an exclusive group of celebrity muses, which includes the Jenner sisters, Selena Gomez and Zendaya.
And the pocket fashionista from Connecticut provides style inspo to a global audience of toddlers via her Instagram page – which she’s forced to share with her seven-year-old brother Stephen.
Here she is twinning with Kendall in camo.
And pulling off those tricky gladiator sandals like a pro.
