Liberating female panties

The Japanese have put out a new line in lingerie, which promises more freedom to women.

Japanese designers of female lingerie have put out some very original panties and bras, in which women will feel really relaxed. The panties were modelled after an ancient male garment, called "fundoshi", with which the designers wish to relax and liberate the female body, which is being hampered and squeezed by thongs and bras that are too tights. Kyoto-based lingerie firm Wacoal has brought them back into fashion, this time for women seeking "emancipation" from the tightness of conventional underwear. “We wanted young women to have more of a sense of freedom and release. And as we tried to come up with the 'ultimate liberation item' for women, we thought of a 'fundoshi,'” the designers said. Fundoshi is only being sold in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore for the time being. One item costs 10 Euros (13.5 Dollars) and they’ve already sold 5,000 of them.
