I love boy short underwear. I wear a lot of skirts and dresses, and when navigating the wind tunnels that make up the DC Metro, it is important to have sufficient coverage should an errant breeze lift your skirts.

Uranus Apparel makes soy (yes, soy) boy shorts in three colors: hunter green, white and beige.

Their slogan is “help save planet earth starting with Uranus,” which is pretty clever and cute. Uranus says that soy underwear is softer than cotton, dries faster, and is absorbant but also breathable. Also, soy fabric is manufactured from soy food byproduct—byproduct that would otherwise be waste.

I never thought of going green in terms of my skivvies, but there’s a first time for everything…and you get a cute burlap pouch out of it.

If you’re interested in purchasing, Uranus is giving my readers a 10% off coupon. The code is “GOGREEN” and enter it in upon checkout.
