Slick Chicks offers female undies that can be changed even while sitting down

Smart underwear like the bra that unfastens using a remote control, invented by a New York student, are not so much needed as undies invented by smart women. One such undergarment is a panty by Slick Chick that could be changed even if the woman is sitting down.

It works on the same principle as the smartbra, using removable hook-and-eye closures at both sides, except that it doesn’t need a remote control. The opening from both sides allow the wearer to slip one off and put another fresh pair on even while at work or in other public places unnoticed without going to a bathroom in cases of an unexpected period, a drip of urine or other embarrassing sanitary accidents, reports Mashable.

Helya Mohmmadian, founder of Slick Chick, says, “I designed this line for women who are in situations where they can’t readily get to the bathroom. No one will know.” With the opening on both sides, the user won’t need to bend over and take off her clothes to replace her panty.

The idea to offer undies that are also breathable with the use of anti-microbial fibres came to Mohammadian, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, when she working out at Soul Cycle that entailed an active lifestyle and required frequent changing of soiled underwear.

In a blog post, Mohammadian points out that some women may not have enough time to shower after working. However, if they don’t changed undies, moisture build-up in the groin area could breed bacteria and yeast infections. With the panty from Slick Chick, they can change into a fresh pair to prevent “getting an infection below the belt.”

The panties are priced at $26-$28, available at the company’s online store in three styles: bikini brief, thong and boyshort.
