An Australian underwear maker for men has launched a new line of tightie-whities which are woven from banana fibers. No joke. The design department at “AussieBum” decided to make these briefs as eco-friendly as possible. Beyond the typical cotton threads and elastic Lycra in the undies, one-quarter of the fabric is made of bananas, without smelling like them. Apparently, the underwear is not only lightweight but also very absorbent. 27% banana fiber is as high as they can go, because as one spokesperson put it,” naturally, you can’t really add anymore banana fiber than that because it might be a bit squishy”. Nice…

By the way – AussieBum won’t comment if their underwear looks like bananas…
