Magic Underwear

// April 13th, 2009 // General

How about instead of going to the gym to stay in shape, all you had to do was to wear the same underwear for 6 weeks?

As unlikely as it sounds, that’s exactly what fabric specialist Teijin promises from its new Nanofront fiber.

The company plans to weave the new material into underwear that will be on the market by next summer.

It claims the garment’s nanotech fiber create tiny amounts of friction that, multiplied across the surface of the skin, is enough to burn subcutaneous fat.

So far, all we know is that 40 (consecutive?) days of Teijin panty-wearing might trim “several centimeters” of the waist, although that probably depends where you’re starting from, right?

2010 LAUNCH

Teijin says tests have shown that wearing garments made of the fibre for 40 consecutive days cuts overall body fat and can reduce waist size by “several centimetres”. There’s no word on whether or not that’s the same pair for 40 days in a row.

If all goes well, the new wonder pants could be on sale by next summer.

INFORMATION ON MATERIALS

First in the world. 700 nanometer ultra fine polyester nanofiber “Nanofront™”. Not just for novelty, if we work for the true potential of a material, not just for novelty, to what extent can fibers evolve? Continuous research and development and state-of-the-art nanotechnology at Teijin answer the question.

Here comes the world’s first 700 nanometer ultra fine polyester nanofiber “Nanofront™”. The new “island-in-sea” composite spinning technology has solved the problem of unstable quality associated with conventional mass-production nanofibers.

The surface area woven in long fibers structure could be tens of times greater than conventional fibers. This enhances water absorption, absorbability of particulates, and anti-translucency.

The texture feels soft to the skin, and reduces irritation drastically. Suitable for a variety of applications, including functional sportswear, innerwear, skin care products, antibacterial filter, precision grinding cloth, etc. Teijin “Nanofront™” opens the future for fibers at last.
