Backless g-string revealed

AUSTRALIA could be on the brink of a startling underwear revolution, thanks to Gold Coast couple Jan and Chuck Digney ("just your average mum and dad") and their invention: the backless brief.


Brief ...but would you wear them?

Jan had a visible G-string problem and asked her daughters for advice.

"They said they freebag it, basically, `We don't wear undies Mum."

"Well," says Jan, speaking after a champagne-fuelled lunch to celebrate the launch, "there's got to be something out there to stop people from doing that".

She worked through 50-odd prototypes before arriving at a design that replaces the back with two bra-style straps under the bottom.

"It's like freebagging but you're protected," she says.

The challenge, says Chuck, is to get people to believe they stay up.

The couple has spent $300,000 on the first run of 35,000 and patenting the invention across the world.

At what point do we start questioning the point of wearing anything at all?

Thanks to Jen for this story!

Can this legally be called an "invention"?

I would like to meet these daughters....

I couldn't really see a G-String as being comfortable, and this doesn't look much better. Fortunatly, there is no compulsion upon guys to wear them.

"It's like freebagging but you're protected," she says.

Something tells me that if a rapist has already managed to rip off your pants, that flimsy bit of fabric isnt really going to protect you all that much.

I don't quite think that's the protection they were banking on.

Also it has to be more comfortable than a regular thong. There's no piece of fabric up your ass!

After an argument with Laura that spanned the better part of three days, I made a silent vow not to come back to the Crappy News Forum.

But when I saw this headline, I couldn't resist.

It's not "backless" at all, says Mr Obvious.

Might better have called it "Thongless thong."

as long as the article came with a picture, it's okay by me

And I wonder, just what the hell do other girls have against wearing normal underwear these days?! Is basic modesty a social taboo now or something? How are those things even remotely comfortable?

WHY?!

In the future people will just have tiny genitals sized pieces of nigh translucent silk that float magically infront of their stuff. I think that's where humanity's headed. Screw hover cars, lets work on hover undies!
