Title: Self-Cleaning Underwear Goes Weeks Without Washing
Post by: Foxy Brown on January 06, 2007, 11:27:06 PM: Self-cleaning fabrics could revolutionize the sport apparel industry. The technology, created by scientists working for the U.S. Air Force, has already been used to create t-shirts and underwear that can be worn hygenically for weeks without washing.

The old fashioned way to do this was to wear underwear wozen out of nylon and silver threads. This makes the underwear antiseptic and prevents odor buildup. It also prevents static buildup and shields against RF radiation. So geeks who fix computers in their underwear might also benefit :-)

Quite expensive, though, and I never saw silver underwear sold to anybody but fitness and outdoors buffs.

Plus, the fashion industry would shrivel into non-existence.

Me, I could easily get into wearing this stuff. Maybe I'm just lazy :P
