Protec-Style Designs Marilyn Monroe-Inspired Panty

You know that picture of Marilyn Monroe standing above sidewalk grates as a subway car passes underneath, blowing her dress up and revealing her white panties? Of course you do — it’s legendary! Canadian lingerie brand Protec-Style has taken inspiration from the photo to create its first, and currently only, panty design, which they named the Marilyn.

The revolutionary panty, which launched at tradeshows last fall, comes with a hypoallergenic and absorbent lining that keeps the wearer dry, while protecting clothing from stains. The lining contains the brand’s patented Mystex, which is breathable and waterproof, and has a durable antimicrobial finish that neutralizes odors.

Protec-Style is marketing the panty as an everyday piece, saying that it is long-lasting, reusable and an intelligent choice economically and ecologically (no more panty liners). It comes in white, black and nude in sizes S to XL. It can be purchased online at the Protec-Style Web site, and at the Protec-Style boutique for Can$21.50.
