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!

Oh my. I suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

  I don't know about you, ladies, but I'm curious (if not amused) by the CamelAmmo, which addresses the common wardrobe problem, "the front wedgie." I, myself, have never had to face this issue (partly, because I don't wear things that are that tight), but maybe this will be of use to some of you.

  This is how the CamelAmmo works: Simply place the device in the lining of your favorite underwear to help smooth out unsightly lines, ridges and creases you may not want the outside world to see. It's flexible, breathable and discreet, say sources.

  It's meant for use with leggings, yoga pants, tight shorts for summer, even skinny jeans of the stretchy kind. "The inspiration for CamelAmmo came a few years ago when I saw some unfortunate paparazzi pictures of an unsuspecting starlet's frontal wedgie," says CamelAmmo creator Loren Weiner. "The 'problem' was so bad that I actually felt embarrassed and sorry for the starlet.

Studies show that 80 percent of men and women over 25 have had back discomfort on some level. That's why some people wear those back braces when they work out--but what about for every day use?

I recently spotted ths unique underwear that actually supports your lower back and supposedly strengthens muscles in the process. It's called LumbarWear and it can help improve your posture, too.

If you're on your feet for long periods of time and need support during your daily activities, this pair of undies can really help you out. (FYI, they make them for men, too!)

Get your LumbarWear undergarments at Solutions.com for $49.95.
