Ha. The pic got your attention, didn’t it?

I think this marks the first time underwear is prominently featured in the Mobile blog - legitimately, mind you.

A company called Cramer Japan has created peek-proof underwear for women. In recent years night-vision features on today’s cameras have been modified to be able to see through dresses and clothes to get a peek at underwear, and is a popular mobile geek-perv pasttime in the land of used-underwear-vending machines. This is done using special filters and lenses that attach to video and digital still cameras that work in conjunction with the infra-red light that modern cameras emit to enable people to see in the dark - or in this case, see through clothes.

While the resulting pictures are dark and unclear and not titillating at all, some folk still find a cheap thrill in achieving this dubious trick. In Japan, women are constantly on guard against sexual harrassment of this sort, especially in crowded trains or lonely city streets.

Cramer Japan has developed ShotGuard Inner Shorts, beige-colored panties made of a special polyurethane-nylon material impervious to perverts. The cameras are unable to penetrate the clothes and distinguish between outer and inner wear.

Cramer Japan is now working on a similar brassiere to protect the upper regions of the fairer sex.
