This exists now? Wow, goes to show how out of touch I am. I had mine about six weeks after my now-23 year old daughter was born in 1982. There was most definitely a scalpel involved!
Afterward, we went over to visit my parents and to have dinner, play cards, etc. My son, who was only about 15-16 months old at the time was sort of standing/walking along the edge of their coffee table in the very shaky tenuous way that toddlers do and started to fall. I was sitting there with my feet elevated and I reacted. I lunged up to catch him as he fell to keep his face from hitting the table edge and I felt a hot rip in the "junk area". It hurt but went away fairly quickly and I thought I was fine. I got home later and went to change for bed. When I took off my pants, I was blood from waist band to upper leg. I had torn a stitch completely. All turned out well, but it scared the hell outta me.
