Textile experts at Japan Women's University in Tokyo have come up with stink-free underwear. A Japanese astronaut is testing them out during his stay at the International Space Station. The line is called J-ware.
Apparently, the underwear kills bacteria, absorbs water, insulates the body and dries quickly. They also are flame-resistant and anti-static. Ok, so why does the underwear need to absorb water? Also, why do they need to be flame-resistant? Those two points aren't working for me.
The manufacturers plan to make the underwear available to NASA and other space stations. A commercial line is also in the works.
Maybe the underwear will come in handy after a night of Mexican or East Indian food. The kid in Florida sure could have used a pair!
