A punch to the plums. A kick to the kiwis. A high hard one to the huevos. They all add up to the same thing. And it doesn't even have to be a direct hit. The mere graze of a whiffle ball can be enough to take a man down. But help has arrived with the ultimate Father's Day gift for dads of young kids.

You might be familiar with FridaBaby and their clever line of infant care products. Now, just in time for dad's big day, they've introduced FridaBalls, the kid-proof underwear. They look like ordinary boxer briefs except for one key difference: the "patent pending Heirloom Conservation Technology (HCT)." It's nothing more than a built-in padded groin pouch designed to protect dad's 'nads, but it could mean all the difference between a fun day on the playground or a miserable evening on the couch.
