Heat-Sensitive Knickers Don't Make Me Hot Today
Normally, I would get excited about these pants with a daisy that changes color when next to your hot hot skin. But it's Monday today, and Monday's the day I do the washing and the ironing. Tuesday is J.'s day for LEGO—he's currently attempting to do the Kama Sutra out of bricks, Wednesday we're watching all Flight of the Conchords episodes back-to-back, Thursday I'm teaching the dog how to mow the lawn, Friday is National Morris Dancers Day, Saturday I'm learning how to make a lava lamp using a paperclip, boogers, an old milk bottle and our bedside lamp. So, it'll have to be Sunday. Hang on, I've just seen the price. Thirty bucks? I feel a headache coming on. [Ethical Superstore]

Laptop Underwear Serves Surprisingly Practical Purpose
Originally when our eyes beheld this Boratesque laptop under garment, we figured it was only good for a quick chuckle and, if we were lucky, maybe a crude tire tracks reference. But when we read more about this amazing piece of cloth, we learned that it was one loving mother's solution to a child's broken laptop hinge. We're sorry, did we just write "loving mother?" We meant to use the words "spiteful and spawn-hating." [flickr via make]

Japanese Party Pants Say "Read My Lips"
Until I saw these, I thought that the pantsular affliction of cameltoe was something to be ashamed of. Not in Japan, apparently. These flesh-colored party pants look like the Nurse Ratched of the lingerie world, and it seems like they do to your nether regions what a good bra does to your upper one—lift and separate. Judging by the pics on the packet (the plastic one) these things are aimed at blokes—they look like man-thighs to me—so I guess they're for costume parties. Anyone with more information than me about these 13-buck knickers, feel free to share your knowledge in the comments. [Tokyo Times]

Intelligent Bra to Give Ladies Less Bounce to the Ounce
University researchers have invented a smart fabric that could help larger ladies in the fight against breast bounce—disappointing the legions of men who love watching girls run for buses in the process. The material, which contains tiny sensors, will be used by bra manufacturers in an attempt to improve the lot of the big-boobed who find even the slightest exertion a pain in the chest. More info (and slightly NSFW illustration) after the jump. More »

Bra, It's What's for Dinner
The My Chopsticks Bra is yet another triumph of Japanese German novelty underwear company (aptly named) Triumph International. In accordance with the Japanese dining table theme, the right cup is reserved for rice while the left is for miso soup. Neither food is real, of course, lest hungry perverts descend from all directions, induce chest blisters and kill everyone's appetite.
A pair of collapsible chopsticks fit somewhere in between it all, almost making this bra the quintessential, patriarchal gadget of Jane Bond. But next time, we'd like to see KFC get involved for the kind of heart-stopping double entendre you can only get in America. [mainichidailynews via tokyotimes]

Fox News got an interview with the two 8-year twin old geniuses who invented wedgie proof underwear, dubbed the Rip-a-way 1000. The rigged a pair of boxers with fasteners at the seams, so these aren't so different from the pull away warm up pants (AKA, hiphop tuxedo). But like most of the best inventions, the beauty here lies in the simplicity of design. More »

So these are some Halloween costumes from Japan that have front-mounted, alternative-universe, male packages in the form of a banana, worm, bouquet of flowers or matchstick. What makes this funny is that I'm pretty sure Japan doesn't even celebrate Halloween. I wonder if they can custom-make these things. I can think of about a dozen ideas that could be just as funny, if not funnier. [Tokyo Mango]

Jockey Cures "Plumber's Ass" With Tech
Looks like Jockey has solved the problem of "plumber's ass" with men's underwear called 3D Innovations, spandex briefs made in two halves and cut on the bias. According to a company spokeswoman:"The builder's bum, an unsightly glimpse of a behind that no one ever needs see, is officially going to be a thing of the past."After scanning 6000 male bodies, Jockey has figured out how to create a certain "stay put" shape that will eliminate this scourge once and for all. Instead of bringing all this technology to bear, we would suggest perhaps wearing pants that are the proper size. We're hoping the company doesn't decide to "fix" this same occurance in the fairer sex, a rather pleasing phenomenon otherwise known as a "coin slot." More »
