Biking Made Just a Bit More Comfy
Greenknickers create bamboo padded underwear for better bike support!
Biking for miles on end can be a real pain in the butt, literally. But Greenknickers has arrived to solve all of your sore bum woes.
The eco-friendly company makes all types of funky undies, which can be purchased online at their website, www.greenknickers.org. Say founders Sarah and Rose, “We started Greenknickers to prove that ethical choices can be funny, beautiful and sexy. The logical place to start was obviously knickers!”
The cycling knickers have a removable padding inside that cushions you for support on the bicycle. They are made from 70 percent bamboo, which is particularly soft and good if participating in sports, and 30 percent organic cotton.
That’s not even the coolest thing on the site though. Other unique designs include Global Warming Knickers, which has a picture of a globe in the front. The catch is that once warmed up, the sea begins to take over the land on the globe, showing the effects of global warming.
There are also Seasonal Knickers with autumn-like trees, but again, once warmed up the leaves fall off, creating more of a winter feel.
The UK company has come up with something quite original, if I do say so myself. Also on their site, you can read their blog or subscribe to their newsletter. Boxers are also available, and if your looking to heat things up, check out the silky hemp undies!
