We’ve been in several situations where a lack of underwear could have cost us our lives, but now a scientist has invented underwear that could actually save your life.
Discovery.com reports on this remarkable new underwear:
Soon U.S. military personnel may find that wearing underpants could save their lives. Not just any ol’ Hanes or Fruit of the Loom brand — although arguably wearing tighty whities in certain battlefield circumstances might be more prudent than not. However, what I’m talking about are briefs that have carbon-based electrodes screenprinted onto the fabric, which acts as a biosensor to measure blood pressure, heart rate and other vital signs.
The innovation comes from nano-engineer Joseph Wang of the University of California, San Diego. In an interview with Reuters Television Wang said:
“This specific project involves monitoring the injury of soldiers during battlefield surgery and the goal is to develop minimally invasive sensors that can locate, in the field, and identify the type of injury.”
And even beyond this, the waistband could contain medication, such as a pain-relief drug, that it could release in the presence of certain injuries.
Underwear invented by a guy named Wang. We are amused.

Hey, don't we need these for.. uh.. girl soldiers too?
Nice. Now, instead of grabbing the wrist for a pulse, the medic and strip the guy and look at his government issued lingerie.
Heh.
Pardon. I was just enjoying the mental imagery. Thanks for the eye candy on the post, by the way.
Somehow, I just don't want my drawers knowing too much about my health. Just seems wrong or wang.
can't stop thinking about the movie bachelor party, when the bride's mother has the trick played on her, and the stripper puts his "wang" in a hotdog bun.....later she says "strange wang in my hands".......okay so I am old.
