HercLéon, a material innovation company known for creating the world's first self-cleaning socks, t-shirts and bed sheets, is now taking on the underwear industry with Kribi, a line of undergarments made from a bacteria-fighting fabric. This revolutionary material, called HercFiber continuously destroys all bacteria and stays clean without needing a wash. All you have to do is let the underwear "air out" for a bit after wearing them, and you can safely put them on again the next day.
HercFiber is made with a blend of Bamboo, Eucalyptus, Beechwood, and Copper fibers. The copper is anti-infection, antibacterial and also "stabilizes and heals" the skin, so when it's weaved into the underwear, it slows the growth of bacteria and eliminates it. Kribi's creators say that the while HercFiber is still susceptible to smell-causing bacteria, that smell doesn't last, like it does on cotton and polyester.
"Kribi continuously destroys all bacteria and stay cleaner," HercLéon states. "But we do recommend letting them air out for few hours after a day of use.
By the time you'll pick them up the next day, they'll smell as fresh as unworn underwear."
HercLéon launched the Kribi self-cleaning underwear on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, last year, and is quickly became the most funded underwear in the platform's history, with over $150,000 raised. The company was supposed to start shipping the underwear to backers in July of last year, but there's no word on when it will become available for everyone.
