In reply to UKC Articles:

A solution looking for a problem perhaps?

In reply to Niall:

A bit eye watering thinking about dragging used ones off.

In reply to UKC Articles:
Revolutionary removable underwear for people who can't do knots would be more accurate description. For persons gifted with opposable thumbs an alternative has been on the market for a very long time

In reply to Reach>Talent:

Agreed - but much more importantly for the experts on UKC what is the most appropriate knot for this critical application.

I suggest double fisherman's.

In reply to tom_in_edinburgh:

Munter?

Crotch hitch?

In reply to UKC Articles: I hope I win a pair for my goose.

In reply to winhill: Any knot as long as it doesn't involve a "bight"....

Shit smears across your hip, or wrenched bollocks?

In reply to Submit to Gravity:

But women don't have testicles!

In reply to UKC Articles:

What kind of travel* requires the ability to change knickers without removing trousers?

*other than the revolutionary sort

In reply to Tall Clare:

The lying....

In reply to UKC Articles:

They only come in black or white, being Revolutionary Travel Underwear, shouldn't they be red?

In reply to 999thAndy:
It's so funny to read how men just don't get it
Women don't worry Pop&Go Knickers will be available at Joe Brown Climbing Store from February.

In reply to PopandGoKnickers:

I'm not a man and I don't get it...

In reply to PopandGoKnickers:

So clearly not tried the 5 day emergency rotation then: forward, backward, inside out forward, inside out backward, commando....

In reply to PopandGoKnickers:

I want some.

In reply to PopandGoKnickers: Whoever is modelling them has got a gorgeous belly.

In reply to UKC Articles: Just saw this and said to the other half "there's some pants you might be interested in" her response "ones that I can wee in?"

In reply to Mr Mark Stephen Davies:

Just be careful with the hook Mark.

In reply to PopandGoKnickers:
Will you be producing a range of conical hats with quick release chin straps for men?
Good luck with the business

In reply to UKC Articles:

Is it true that the male range is going to be called: Plop & Goo?

In reply to UKC Articles: Please, please take this idea onto Dragons' Den. I would love to watch that episode!

In reply to Mr Mark Stephen Davies: I think the phrase they use "Designed for female travelers and outdoor enthusiasts" means that the outdoor enthusiasts should be female as well as the travelers.

Sorry to disappoint

In reply to Michael Hood:

We live in an equal society! If I want to wear easy pop off knickers, I will.

In reply to Michael Hood:

I don't want to wear them you fool!

In reply to UKC Articles:

I need to know more. But i don't know why :0)

I can see how they will be easy to get off but how do you easily get a pair back on ? You will have to shove your hands down your pants and feed the material through to the back end and then shove your hands down the back of your pants to pull it through. A bit like trying to feed a sling through an awkward thread.

I would prefer to be caught in the act of changing my thunderpants than be caught with a hand down the front and back of my pants crouching down and gurning.

Pop and go, if we don't get it please explain ?

In reply to biscuit:

A bit like trying to feed a sling through an awkward thread.

Think Abalakov...

In reply to MJ:

Ha ha ! I was wondering how long it would take someone to pick up on that. It wasn't done on purpose but when i re-read it i saw it and thought it was a contender for punnage.

In reply to UKC Articles: I think I get it if you are say a shy woman sharing in a mixed bunkhouse needs to change - this could be an option to help avoid quedge shots.

I think this is actually practical for some women.

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:

What's wrong with the old wrap a towel round yourself like your Mum used to do at the beach ?

In reply to biscuit:



Simple, clip the new pair to the old pair & as you remove one you are installing the other.

In reply to Richard Wilson:



Oddly thats not how the sellers are saying to do it.

In reply to biscuit: Nothing, but there is much more security with the pop and go knickers.

Bon effort for the peeps that have brought these to market. I wish them every success.

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:
But surely there is an easier solution. Try a google image search for "tie sided thong" if you don't believe me, they even do them for men.*


*Actually while the first page is pretty work safe I wouldn't really recommend it

In reply to Reach>Talent: Look at this way;

Burberry have been making waterproof coats for a long time.

Why did North Face, Berghaus etc bother as a product existed already?

In reply to PopandGoKnickers:
Semi-serious suggestion: have you thought about marketing them to bondage enthusiasts? I imagine nice knickers that can be taken off someone after they're all tied up could turn out to be quite popular.

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:

I'd be more impressed with socks you can change without removing your boots.

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:

Fair point. Towel option not withstanding.

But it does seem a bit like life imitating Zoolander:

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:

They look like the level of fumbling required would be... somewhat awkward though, particularly in 'public'. I can see where you're coming from, but i was in the situation you described at the weekend and just got changed in the loo - much easier.

In reply to Niall:

Absolutely bang on; im female and I dont get the point in these... I feel like im missing something... Isnt this what panty liners are for?
(Sorry to destroy the magic, guys.)

In reply to Jamming Dodger:

I just had a thought, after writing my last post and going for a shower, that if you'd just had a shower ir been swimming then they might be handy, particularly with wet grotty feet from campsite showers, but that's the only time I would consider using them, and I wouldnt be putting them on after my trousers.

In reply to freerangecat: How would that be different from wearing normal knickers?

In reply to Jamming Dodger:

Just slightly easier/more pleasant than putting wet possibly muddy feet through the holes of normal undies.I've already put 2 or 3 posts on here saying tthat I dpn't see the point of these, and I still don't, it just occured to me that they could potentially have a slight benefit in that situation! I felt slightly bad for slating them so much too...

In reply to Submit to Gravity:

Thanks, I'm pretty good at tucking it all behind me as well...

In reply to UKC Articles: I won a pair of the jubilo specs so if Im lucky enough to win a pair of these knicks Ill let you know how I get on !

In reply to joan cooper: just make sure you don't get 'em mixed up....

clue to the answer here: http://www.popandgoknickers.com/Why-Use-PopGo-Knickers

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKC and UKH:

Its the step 2 I find a bit disconcerting !

In reply to GrahamD:

I thought 3 and 6!

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKC and UKH:

Not many entries then!!?

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKC and UKH:
•Long-haul flights - Id not site on a flight and stuff my hands down my trousers.
•Long bus and train journeys- see above
•Hiking, rambling and trekking- see above
•Camping- where youd probably want to change your muddy pants before getting in a tent anyway.
•Muddy Festivals- see above
•After sports- same trousers but clean knickers? Really?
•Dance classes- see above
•Gym- ever had deja vu?
•Heading straight from the office to a night out- where most people would change their outfit anyway.
•Sandy Beaches (and sandy feet!)- See point 1 and 2

In reply to Jamming Dodger:
"Designed for female travelers" - pop&go is a crap name, they should be called pikey-pants. I didn't realise that changing their pants in a caravan was so troublesome.

In reply to freerangecat:
>>They look like the level of fumbling required would be... somewhat awkward though, particularly in 'public'.

Yes, quite! If I got caught in the middle of one of the club hut dormitories fumbling around with my hands down my trousers, the mickey-taking would never stop!
(As opposed to being spotted with my trousers off, which is fairly normal in that normal sleeping attire is t-shirt and keks.)

In reply to Wingnut:

Exactly!

I'm going to enter this now though, as it would be interesting to win them and see if they were actually any use, given how sceptical we are (I wonder if they want a review! )

In reply to freerangecat:

it would be interesting to win them and see if they were actually any use,

The first Mrs C had something similar but with bits of silk ribbon insead of plastic clips. Dunno if they any 'use' but they were a lot of fun

In reply to FiendishMcButton: good one!

In reply to Jamming Dodger: Panty liners do half the job of Pop&Go Knickers. You can only change "part" of the knicker so if you have been trekking for hours and you feel sweaty, changing panty liner won't help.

Also panty liners aren't comfy and aren't hygienic (especially if you spend long hours outdoor, exercising...etc...).

In reply to freerangecat: That's right. Or sandy feet on the beach, trying to aim through the leg hole.

In reply to jon: In 3 and 6 it's a little cotton carry pouch so you can keep a fresh pair in your backpack/handbag....

In reply to PopandGoKnickers: Aren't hygeinic? they are designed to eb hygeinic? I think the product looks interesting but the suggestion they are more hygeinic is baffling.

In reply to Jamming Dodger:
The idea is more to change in a toilet cubicle, not in public. In moving transport, without Pop&Go Knickers, you would have to get fully undressed, dropping trousers on dirty floors and trying to balance, standing on your shoes to avoid stepping on the floor. Awkward. Especially if it's hot (India...) and maybe there is no lock on the cubicle...

These are common situations when travelling/backpacking....

In reply to puppythedog: unhygienic is not the correct word indeed. Frequent use of panty liners isn't advised though, increases risk of infections...

"Wearing tight-fitting clothing, such as tights, or using panty-liners, may increase your risk of developing thrush. However, the evidence to support this is still uncertain."
http://www.channel4embarrassingillnesses.com/men-in-white-coats/thrush/caus...

+ if the underwear is sweaty (exercising...) then changing the panty liner won't turn the knickers fully dry, only part of it

In reply to PopandGoKnickers:

If you're that sweaty from exercise then surely whatever you've worn over the knickers, and your top half, will also be sweaty.

They do seem like an intriguing concept but I think they'd be more usefully targeted at people who struggle to put on normal underwear, for instance people who've broken legs, have mobility issues that require use of a wheelchair, etc.

In reply to PopandGoKnickers: Im really sorry to keep p*ssing on your parade but im still not convinced. Panty liners are designed (as mentioned) to be hygienic and be changed during the day. To suggest they cause thrush based loosely on insubstantiated evidence as a selling point for knickers is just silly.
I personally wouldnt want to be toting around dirty knickers in my handbag (even if they do come in a nice little purse). The very idea of this is... grim.
In addition, cotton knickers are more likely to cause thrush if used for exercise cause they dont wick moisture and therefore chafe. Just saying...
Good luck with your sales though.

In reply to UKC Articles: Having travelled with females in India and Peru I was amazed how often they felt the need to change their underwear. I can definiately see how these would be helpful for them. Trying to change on sleeper trains etc is a nighmare for a woman.

Whilst I don't see all of the suggested uses as practical I do think that they will have their uses for sure.

Makes me glad I'm a guy though

In reply to jon:

Precisely; why is she putting them in her chalk bag?
And stages 1, 2, 4 and 5 don't exactly seeem to be preserving her modesty. Anyone doing that in public could pull quite a crowd.

In reply to Martin1978: Hey, theres a mans version in the pipeline:
http://lingeriexox.com/419.html

In reply to Jamming Dodger: I've already go one in black. Not comfortable for travelling. Fine when you know it'll only be on for a few minutes though ;p

In reply to Jamming Dodger:
Heading straight from the office to a night out

I once walked into the bathroom in our office to find one of the guys sitting in the sink washing his balls before a night out with his new girlfriend. If a male version of these are out there I'll fill his draw to make sure I never see that again.

In reply to UKC Articles: I'm thinking one them handy nut extractor/broddlers has been used between 3 and 4.

In reply to UKC Articles:

I am not convinced either, being female and travelling quite a bit. Surely you just get changed when in a suitable situation and otherwise wait till the next suitable situation to change again. Even on a 26hr bus ride i have never felt the need for this product. At £17.99 it is extremely expensive and i can imagine that the attachment is uncomfortable when seated.

If you want to send me some i will trial them and then maybe i will see the virtue of them. Otherwise i could buy 20 pairs of pants for the same amount of money.

Design some ladies winter trousers for climbing with a inconspicuous drop seat and then i really will be interested.

Good luck though i think you may need it.

In reply to UKC Articles: I'm getting some to go with my Pilko Pump Pants

In reply to UKC Articles:

In reply to jon: Do women not wear skirts any more?

In reply to UKC Articles:

Surely if you're in that much of a state that underwear must be changed immediately, then an undercarriage wash is also required? In which case you're not really solving the problem by simply changing your undies.

In reply to peas65:

So rather than enter the competition to win a pair and if you don't then nothing is lost you suggest they send you a pack of them instead?

In reply to UKC Articles: Yihoo!!!! I won

In reply to trish1968:

Me too I'm looking forward to trying them out and seeing if I find them as useful as the company think they are.

Cat

In reply to freerangecat:


Yep I can see them being useful when I'm travelling more than when I'm out on the hill.
We shall see.

In reply to What Goes Up:

They would pop the idea apart I reckon...
