Two Central Coast moms say they have come up with a solution to the old problem of "plumber's crack," the revealing and often embarrassing problem of exposed backsides resulting from poorly fitting pants.

Best friends Christine Meeks and Kelley DeSerpa have come up with the "hip-T," an invention designed to keep your assets covered.
Wikipedia defines plumber's crack as a minor exposure of the buttocks and the gluteal cleft, often revealed by those wearing low-slung trousers. Meeks and DeSerpa, who have patented their idea, said they came up with the idea when one of their daughters complained about the problem.
The hip-T looks like a tube top and comes in a variety of colors.
About a year ago, Meeks and DeSerpa converted a bedroom into an office. With about $15,000 between them, they started sewing.
Most sales take place through their Web site and they have already shipped their product to addresses in all 50 states. The hip-T runs $19.95.
The pair admit that the current trend of exposing one's backside by wearing low-riding pants makes for a tough sell in some cases, but they said they are just getting started.
Meeks and DeSerpa said so far they have recovered their initial cash investment and are hoping their idea will catch on as people try to cover up.
It's about time someone spent time and resources to fixing this terrible condition...:roll:
