Modest fliers can buy a new product to keep their privates private.

Every bride and groom walk down an aisle — but it’s usually not lined with size-8 shoes.
Drew Ellis and Lisa Satayut, who said she’d always dreamed about getting married in a shoe aisle, got her wish at a T.J. Maxx in Mt. Pleasant, Mich.
“It was perfect,” the bride said afterward.
Her sister, Menah Troy, said, “It turned out really great. It was her.”
