Soy Underwear
Apparently, they are made of soy by-products. And come as a 3-pack in a compost-able burlap bag. Thoughts?

Usually I love offbeat humor, but Uranus -- tacky.
What a clever name. They look cozy.
My first thought is that the name is unfortunate. It is a good idea but they should've gone with a different planet...
Cute. Comfy. Cool.
weird.
That is an inspired name. Love it.
At first I thought it was funny, but really? No thanks on the name. They do look super comfy, though. I wouldn't mind wearing them.
hysterical
What an awful name...
I think it's cheeky. I think it's funny. They look comfy.
The name made me smile. that is funny.
thats one of the funniest things i've ever seen. i'd wear them proud.
I'm loving all the reactions! I think I might have to get some and try them out.
I wonder if they'd be good for working out. How breathable do you suppose soy is?
sounds like a third grade joke
not funny
Im laughing...
those are some funny undies...
"Cheeky"? ! Perfect comment!
But I too think the name is sophomoric and would appeal mostly to middle-school aged boys.
After a certain age, dignity does matter.
Cute if they didn't call them Uranus. Don't really wanna be thinking about that when I buy underwear...
wow. i love quirky names and all, but it is a bit tacky. wonder how they feel/fit?
Somehow I don't thing my hubby would find these 'hot, hot, hot'! And, wouldn't you be embarrassed if you were wearing these and got in a car accident?
Uranus is totally gross. I agree-- Cheeky = perfect! :)
Rediculous
It's about time a company exploits the planet's name.
um...concept, fine. name...4th grade boy humor. no thanks, even though technically it is pronounced differently than it seems here...
Ha! 5 year old humor :) I bet they are actually comfy.
I also don't care for the name. If they are actually planning on selling them as more than a gag, they may have wanted to reconsider that one. They do look comfy though. ;)
I have a soy thermal top and it is awesome, warm and totally comfy. The softest top! These would be awesomely comfortable!
Reminds me of the scene from E.T.--the kids waiting at the bus stop.
Very cute underwear, very un-cute name. Cool idea- I like the bag.
I have to admit that even though the name is ridiculous it got us all chatting about it. I guess I should take back my first comment "What an awful name" and change it to "How clever!" I would have loved to be involved during the naming session.
Immediately grossed out by the name despite my wild and crazy sense of humor.
Ummmm...the name is just killing it for me :)
Yuck. The name is not cool.
i think they look cute, but i don't want anything that hints at "anus" on my little heine. it's gross.
Does the burlap make the underwear itchy? That does not seems like a good place for burlap, I like the soy byproduct idea though!
I love it! I have bought them, wear them all the time, even sleep in them. They are softer than cotton and adds humor to a great cause! Hey, they are right in my drawer next to my Spanx!! THEY ARE GREAT!!!
By the way, they come to reference the prior comment. They come wrapped in a nice tissue inside the burlap bag, nice and protected, not even touching the burlap. I love the little bag also. I received my order in 2 days. You should try them ~ a great price of $19 for 3 panties!!
The name is great.
Clearly it's working considering the number of posts on this page.
Also, I noticed their slogan on their website (which this blog fails to mention).
"Help Save Planet Earth Starting with Uranus".
hahahah really clever.
I actually purchased a set a few weeks ago and LOVE them.
I've actually gotten comments from people who happen to catch the little logo sticking out and gotten compliments. These panties are awesome!
Tacky name. Tacky, tacky, tacky.
Not good for us. My son is allergic to soy!
comfy, cute, eco smart, love it!
