OneDerWear

Overall Impression There are times in a traveler’s life when disposable underwear can be heaven sent. For many, the concept is appealing for everyday use, hospital visits, unexpected situations, gym and spa visits, camping, and medical conditions to name a few. The OneDerWear was perfect for many of our travel needs. Laundry and dry cleaning can be a challenge during a trip; even luxury hotel s encounter problems and deliver damaged, stretched, faded, torn, shrunk or otherwise unusable clothes to guests. This is especially likely traveling internationally and in remote areas where washers and dryers may not be available. We have encountered eco friendly properties in isolated places where there is no running water or electricity. We think the 100 percent cotton OneDerWear ideal for these situations.

An example of a OneDerWear type of trip is a safari in Southern Africa . Visitors to those destinations though rewarded with fabulous game viewing, luxurious accommodations and attentive staff, may have luggage weight restrictions. In Botswana , for example, transport to the game lodges is usually by chartered small airplanes which can only carry a limited amount of weight. Passengers on those trips have to consider every item they bring with them, its use on the trip and weight. Although complimentary hand laundry service is included in the daily rates, water is limited and some properties will not accept underwear (for social reasons). It is in cases like these where the OneDerWear can come in handy.

We tried the bikini and classic brief styles. We appreciated the choice of styles and found the women’s panties practical, comfortable, washable (wearers are not required to throw them out immediately) and hygienic. Each pair was individually wrapped in plastic. We look forward to taking the OneDerWear on future trips including African safaris.
