Those of you who are new to More Cowbell might have missed The Undie Chronicles. The regular posse here knows: When the Undie-verse speaks, we will always listen.
My pal Kitt Crescendo sent me this photo on Facebook, and you know I HAD to look up the deets and bring them to you.
This brings a whole new twist to phone sex, doesn’t it? And would these be described as Christian Panties? Democrat Panties? What?
My favorite comment from the original Facebook thread:
And if some one removes the panties and insert the charger or whatever in the covered hole it’s considered phone rape and u go to jail
Oy.
Product Description:
Prevent your phone from being seen in public in the nude by giving it a cool pair of smartphone pantsu.
These silicon based cell phone underwear are designed to stretch and fit nearly any size of phone. The smartphone panties will work with any standard phone such as an iPhone or similar sized Android phone, up to Galaxy Note in size (the largest smartphones might have trouble though). This is the set of seven underwear styles.
[According to The Frisky, Japanese teens are going wild for these things.]
Skimpy little suckers, aren’t they?
Apparently these Smart Pants (also called pantsu) can be purchased for the low price of $35 for seven pairs. Linked via the product description above.
No offense, Japanese marketers, but it’s almost unheard of for me to spend five bucks a pair on my OWN panties. And I can guarantee you that mine cover more than my “Home button.”
Although I do have a pair that looks kind of like #3 up there. I wonder if pantsus can get a wedgie…
What do you think? Waste of money or darling must-have new fashion accessory? Would you buy Smart Pants? What other items in your pocket or purse need panties? Enquiring minds always want to know these things here at More Cowbell!

Hi Jenny, I needed a post on underwear today. Though I don’t own a cell phone, I’m wavering away from the belief that they’re the devil’s work, I don’t want panties for a cell, if I owned one. It would attract perverts who wanted to see the naughty bits. I have a question. Why are my washer and dryer eating all of my new undershorts? I’m open for answers.

I can not continue my pattern of buying every

Lacking proper protective gear, I’ve had to put my tweezers and my iPhone in separate bedrooms in my purse. They don’t make condoms small enough for my tweezers.
I know where those tweezers have been. How many ERK!-WHEN-DID-THAT-GROW(?) nose hairs they’ve plucked. No way will I risk my iPhone being infected with an STD — where S =sinus or snot. Your choice.

Seriously, I could go on and on with these puppies. I must stop now and move on to other useless things this afternoon. Other blog are demanding my presence. Although I’m not sure there’ll be something out there more fun than phone undies.

Phone panties is particularly funny to me because when my cousin got married and brought his bride to America for their honeymoon, my cousin refused to step foot in Victoria secret. I took his bride in…but she blushed, covered her hand with her mouth and ran from the store. This from people who have sex on TV after 8 pm at night. Yes, I’m baffled.
