Save Planet Earth with Uranus (Seriously)!

Uranusundies.jpgYou know how much you love those nights when you get to slip into your comfy boyshorts and jammies and veg' in front of the TV? For these special occasions, my own must-have list includes a cozy fleece blanket, a bowl of soup and a stack of magazines... And the most comfortable pair of undies that I own.

Recently, I've discovered a new pair that looks like it fits the criteria, plus some extra oomph! Uranus Apparel is a new brand that makes 100 percent eco-friendly undies for women out of soy products like soybean oil and tofu. Sounds crazy, right? It also took me a little while to imagine having tofu anywhere but my mouth, let alone have it made by a brand whose name is just asking for pun jokes.

But I'm a girl who strives to be eco-friendly--I recycle my bottles and rarely print paper--and this soy underwear idea seems a very sensible one to me! Besides, I'm going to be wearing them on my lazy nights in and under my clothes anyways, aren't I? Amazingly, the soy fabric is soft and comfortable, like a cheaper and more earth-friendly version of silk or cashmere. Plus, soy material is durable, long-lasting and washable (it'll only get softer the more I wash it)!

I was about 90 percent convinced at this point to wear 'em, but if you want to see where the last 10 percent came from, watch this video. She's one of the three Uranus Apparel founders:



Fun, yes?! Tell me about your fave loungewear!

I just purchased these for myself and fun Christmas gifts! A fun gift at a great price - $19 for 3~a deal. They are so comfortable and a great fit. They look nice on also. I read about the company - great humor and awesome for two college girls to start their own company! I will be back to Uranusapparel.com!!!!
