Kidventor Part II: No-Wedgie Underwear

Posted by Madeline Holler

In our continuing coverage of kidventors, we bring you 8-year-old twins from Ohio who have invented wedgie-free underwear.

Like the Iowa kid who devised a way to end fights about raised toilet seats, these twins and their invention were also featured on a recent Ellen Degeneres show.

The “Rip Away 1000” are rigged shorts that have been reengineered in a way that prevents them from going up your crack when the bullies start grabbing and yanking. Instead, Velcro seams come apart and “they just rip away,” one of the Underwear Thomas Edisons explained.

Hey, I don’t wanna pick on little kids or anything, but I have to ask how in the hell easily removable underwear will be anything but trouble. Haven't they just turned underwear into a trophy? Plus, depending on the strength of the wedgie aggressor, “Rip Away 1000” could burn!

The next thing you know some kid will invent an unpoppable bra.  Life ain't much fun anymore.

My daughter saw me in my lace thongs recently. She asked me when she would be big enough for "wedgie underwear." Scary. Note to self: begin dressing behind locked bedroom door. Ugh.
