Disposable underwear No soap and water needed! No more laundry!

The advertisement for Onederwear was posted in the recent issue of AAA magazine.

  • It's kind of a neat idea. But when I pack, I don't find that underwear takes up much space in the first place.
  • Then again, Depends.
  • Heehee. Good one, maryh.
  • ... Dispoable Socks, too!
  • Who's the CEO? Why Betty Hung of course.
  • Heh, I just checked the prices and disposable socks and undies cost more than most of my non-disposable versions.
  • And just where do ye dispose of these things, anyway? "Beg ypour pardon, but I need to pitch my boxer shorts into your trach can." Is there a deadline before entropy of Disposables takes charge? Do these briefgarments disintegrate if not changed? "Excuse me, but I need to pitch 'em into the trashcan before midnight or they turn into a Tyranosaurus Rex!"
  • Argh, disposable society.
  • That was an expression of irritation, not a comment aimed at Argh.
  • The throw-it-out mentality bothered me too, but at least the cotton will naturally break down and compost itself.
  • ...eliminates the hassle of repacking or washing dirty underwear forever! More like eliminates the hassle of repacking or washing dirty underwear once.
  • A team on on The Amazing Race used these a couple of seasons ago. It was discovered when one of the tasks required them to change into wet suits, and there wasn't a changing area handy. So they stripped down to their paper skivvies right there. /reality show filter
  • Having seen That Thing You Do, I can't help but read this as, "Oh-nee-der-wear."
  • Well, I'm feeling let-down. With the exception of maryh and her Depends, the rest of you haven't generated near the commentary this thread deserves.
  • Me too, BlueHorse. Are the monkeys getting soft? maryh does bring up Depends, a worth substitute to Onederwear, however 100% cotton beats wearing diapers any day. Wearing Depends is 2 birds with 1 stone: underwear for incontinence problems. Depends would not look good under my slinky black dress, would it? I think Onederwear should come out with disposable thongs!!! Ooh la la.
  • They already have, sMhyla!
  • Truly innovative, I must say. Thanks for pointing it out, cabingirl.
  • Pretty much all underwear is disposable, if you want to get technical about it. If this stuff is more expensive than your usual BVDs, then why not just throw away the BVDs.
  • What briank said.
  • good point, guys, but i don't wear BVD's.
  • Pretty much all underwear is disposable... /clutches his tattered rags tightly NOOOOOO!
  • HA! I knew it all along. Beeswacky wears peek-a-boo undies.
  • No peeking!
  • arrrrgh!
  • *peeks runs away
  • posted by BlueHorse at 04:28AM UTC on May 24, 2005 The implications of that comment, in context of the conversation, are hysterical.
  • ))) for Mr K!!! And anti-bananas for BlueHorse!!! Very funny, actuslly, though I must nominatew ye for First Lady of Libel.
  • where the hell is the quidnunc kid?! how can we have a proper underwear thread without him?
  • whoops! so what's an anti-banana? is that like a coconut or more like the peel?
  • Anti-bananas suck ye into a black hole, from which the victim never experiences being expeeled, BlueHorse.
  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaagh *blip
  • That would be a very unappeeling end.
  • But 'tis only fiction now, the physicists say, so BlueHorse will come back to play.
  • wow, peek-a-boo underwear...
  • Now HERE'S some exciting peek-a-boo underwear!
  • I wonder if they make disposable ass-less chaps?
  • BlueHorse, why is your poor dog in your underwear? Or I'm sorry I asked...
  • BlueHorse, why is your poor dog in your underwear? Or I'm sorry I asked...
  • oops, sorry I asked twice.
  • Well, he's got to wear SOMETHING.
  • Well, he's got to wear SOMETHING.
