SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) – Australian underwear company AussieBum has been monkeying around and the result is a range of men's underwear made with bananas.

~SNIP~

The banana fiber used in the underwear is made from a bark weave from the banana plant and makes the underwear not only lightweight, but also very absorbent, he said. "Naturally you can't really add anymore banana fiber than that because it might be a bit squishy," said Jones, adding that wearers did not have to worry about real monkeys, as the underwear does not smell like a banana.

Why yes. I DO have a banana in my pants.

Fruit flies like a banana.

Gives new meaning to the term Banana Hammock.

I’m sure this will be really big with the “fruits” in San Francisco.

[derllak]

You’re enjoying this too much. Should I worry about you? :)

[Responsibility2nd]

I would appreciate it if you would.

“might get a bit squishy”

Squishy?

I haven’t worn squishy underpants since I got out of diapers!

[derllak]

Lol!

The comments on this thread are far more entertaining than the original story. Thank you all!

Gives new meaning to the term Banana Hammock.

You reminded me of one of my favorite scenes in "Friends"--when Phoebe changes her name to "Princess Consuela Banana Hammock." She says, "It's fun, it's different. Nobody else has a name like it."

So her new husband Mike (Paul Rudd) changes his name to "Crap Bag." He says, "It's fun, it's different. Nobody else has a name like it. If you have trouble remembering it, just thing of a bag filled with crap."

LOL! One of the best t.v. series ever made.

Bananna appeal?

[Celerity]

I didn’t know people were shopping for “Absorbent” underwear ?

[Darksheare]

!!!
Bark weave?
How badly does it chafe?
Ouch.

[llevrok]

Put a pair of those on a guy about to get married and you’d have fruit of the groom.

Get a shampoo, dude.

[Darksheare]

That’s the worst case of banana head that I have ever seen!

[Max in Utah]

If I have a nightmare, it’s going to be your fault!

[Daffynition]

Fear not the curved yellow fruit!

[TheOldLady]

She was ‘way ahead of her time with that underwear. Um... Outerwear. Whatever.

My mom told me many years ago that old Josephine was quite scandalous back then. It looks pretty tame and kind of silly now.

[Slings and Arrows]

She could teach a lot of comtemporary “entertainers” a thing or three about sexy.

[TheOldLady]

Indeed. She was an “It” girl.
