New men’s briefs made from bananas

An Australian swimwear company has developed the world’s first men’s briefs made from banana plants.

AussieBum spokesman, Lloyd Jones, said the underwear’s fabric is spun from the bark of the banana plant into soft, smooth material that is environmentally sustainable, Cairns.com reports. The fiber, sourced from Asia and knitted together in Brisbane, also is lightweight and offers strong moisture absorption.

Aussiebum previously had success in producing a range of men’s jocks that released residue into the skin to make the wearer feel revitalized, and undies designed to make mens’ packages appear larger through a specially designed pouch used to “separate and stop squashing.”

Jones assured buyers that the new banana briefs are not mushy or squishy and do not smell like bananas. He said some people have been concerned that if they wear them, monkeys might follow them around.

A few dingoes maybe, but no monkeys.
