Australian Company Debuts Banana Underwear
By Wyatt Earp | March 7, 2010
Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
SYDNEY – Australian underwear company AussieBum has been monkeying around and the result is a range of men’s underwear made with bananas. The new eco-friendly banana range of undies incorporates 27 percent banana fiber, 64 percent cotton and 9 percent lycra, AussieBum’s Lloyd Jones said on Friday.
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.
It also makes you irresistible to gorillas, so you’ve got that going for ya.
So, how long until the company gets sued by some knucklehead who claims he slipped on his undies and broke his arm?

Well this may be incentive for men to finally stop leaving their underwear on the floor.

Does the underwear come in a three pack, or do you have to buy them in a bunch? What would Harry Belafonte have to say?

Is there some ECO reason that cotton is bad? Why are they using the banana skins?
Cotton is natural, isn’t it?

Oh, now you made me feel bad.
Let me re-phase that.
“This is the cutest picture you’ve ever posted of a guy in his underwear carrying bananas.”
And may I say that you don’t post enough photos of yourself on here. (Especially since you blog in your underwear….)

I’ll take the chest, thank you. Those abs and arms will be great . I’m a widow, remember.

great idea….but when i think of a banana i think of a well endowed man…and most men do not come close in comparison to the length or even girth of a healthy banana.
