Laundry Loathers Rejoice: Odor-Masking Undies Are Here!
We all know a guy or two who doesn’t believe in the concept of doing laundry. “Denim is the original napkin,” they swear. “This doesn’t smell,” they always insist.
But when it comes to underwear, cleanliness is essential. The odor, the sweat, the… we’ll spare you. So what’s a laundry-loathing lad to do?
One Japanese company believes they’ve found away to keep underwear from such unpleasantry caused by the recent heat wave. By using advanced nanotechnology and eucalyptus-infused materials — the same technology used to create Astronauts’ attire — this underwear is able to neutralize the stench from four liters worth of sweat.
Koichi Wakata, the first Japanese resident on the International Space Station wore a prototype of the underwear. “I wore it for about a month and my station crew members never complained,” he claims.
We love when technology and fashion intersect. It’s always an interesting outcome. But please, let’s leave these undies to the spacemen. We’re firm believers in the power of clean panties. And you should be too.
