Although I can’t say Earth Day gets me very excited the idea that a lot of people may be wearing some soybean underpants, well, you decide. These are soy shorts made by Uranus which has the slogan, “Help save planet earth starting with Uranus.”

Soy fabric is luxuriously soft and comfortable, often likened to silk or cashmere. Many of the product testers compared wearing soyshorts to “being totally naked.” Besides being softer than cotton, soy fabric is more durable and long-lasting (and it keeps getting softer the more times you wash it). It dries quicker than cotton and is extremely easy to care for, being machine-washable and dryer-safe (use low heat to prevent shrinkage). It is warmer than wool, but absorbant and breathable, making it the ideal fabric for warm or cool weather.

To get a better feel for what it’s like to wear these they even have video:
