Thanks for answering with such a detailed breakdown of your cost. I was wondering because I like to know if I can possibly get materials for cheaper. Do you have pics of your pad on the web? |

Playing DDR in boxers? It makes my nuts hurt just thinking about it. Boxer briefs are definitely the way to go even if you don't like wearing them. Think of the children man. |
