      These are awesome!!!  I just ordered them and I love them.  They are definitely underwear and great to wear w/a little top for pj's.  Great sexy fit & soft and comfy.  I LOVE them!!!

        And technically these underwear may actually be edible?  In case of apocalypse, eat underwear.  Oh I gotta tweet that.

      So is this car! The BYD plugin hybrid with 60 mile battery range for 20k.  Maybe 16k after production ramps up?Why didn't chrysler make a deal with BYD?  Make these cars here.

    SallyWally, from what I understand the women that started Uranus Apparel tried desperately to find a US based supplier for Soy Fiber but could not find any. China is the largest producer of Soy Fiber.

    I checked -- Not even close to comparing to Uranus Soyshorts! They are more than double the price, minimal soy content, and not near as CUTE and comfy! Show the earth URANUS !!!!
