With news that we could be seeing freezing temperatures, sleet and even snow over the Easter break, maybe it’s time that you made like the smart men across Europe and invested in the latest fashion accessory.

What is it? Well, it’s basically a knitted warmer. For your willy. Yes, seriously.

The Irish Sun reports that willy warmers are flying off the shelves across Europe as worried wives stock up on the sock-like knits in order to keep the private parts of their menfolk nice and warm during the expected upcoming cold snap. Clearly they’re dedicated to the men in their lives.

If you ever want to question your girlfriend’s devotion to you, ask her to buy you (or, better yet, knit you) a willy warmer. If she agrees, chances are you have a keeper on your hands. You’lll also have a warm willy, so clearly it’s a win-win situation.

Anyway, Radmila Kus from Croatia is making a small fortune from knitting special, ‘luxury’ willy warmers. Her designs are also made-to-measure to ensure extra warmth and comfort. Lovely.

“This is an age-old tradition. Local men here worn these for centuries. In those days clothing was not so good and people weren’t rich enough to keep warm,” said Ms Kus.

“Frostbite was a real problem. Wives believed keeping their man’s private parts warm allowed him to remain fertile and increased their chance of having children,” she added.

Avoid any “hey, it’s cold out…” excuses and get your hands on a willy warmer today. They’re clearly functional and stylish – what more could you want?
