Crotch-Only Undies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Commandos Cotton Patches

— September 13, 2007 — Naughty
There are crotchless panties and now: there are crotch-only ones. Meet Commandos cotton patches. They stick down yonder, allowing the free spirited women (and men, I guess) of the world to wear nothing under their pants except a thin maxipad-like: well, maxipad. They come in black, denim, pale pink, light nude, and white.

3. Alternative Intimate Apparel - The trend of alternative intimate apparel opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for brands to design innovative and comfortable solutions like crotch-only underwear for individuals who want to embrace a more free-spirited and minimalistic approach.
