STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Europe's biggest fashion retailer, Sweden's H&M, has launched wear-once paper panties for the summer.
"They are on sale now. They are good to have in your handbag if something unexpected happens, if you lose your luggage, or you exercise and forget to take a change of underwear with you," H&M's spokeswoman Anna Carin Bjorne said.
The panties are designed as one-size-fits-all "G-strings" and sold in small packs of three in red, green and black.
There are no paper underpants for men, but designer Camilla Thulin was quoted by tabloid Aftonbladet as saying the idea could appeal to many men.
"Many guys don't change their underpants every day. It would be perfect to sell paper underpants at petrol stations," she said.
According to a test group assembled by Aftonbladet, the paper thongs are strong but uncomfortable.

Paper panties? What about creases?

Another chapter in the strange saga of the Devil's Panties. NOW they come in nice, comfortable paper.

Many guys don't change their underpants every day. There's a Sven and Olle joke in there somewhere.

Fudge often comes in paper wrappers. Okay, I grossed myself out.

this can be filed in the same draw as edible underwear. It would get the same look from my wife "you're kidding me, right?"
To: Hemingway's Ghost
Are they made from recycled paper? /sarcasm>
To: Fedupwithit
This is definitely one of the stupidest products I've ever heard about.
To: Hemingway's Ghost
This is perfect! I can never find anything to write on when my wife gets a phone call. Now when I'm laying around the house and the phone rings, I can write the message right on the old underpants.

Wow! You'll never have to worry about running out of tp again. Just press the underwear into service, and whip out another pair when you're done...

"Paper or Plastic?" is not something I want to hear when it comes to underwear.
