Made by a brand called Babapanty, Invisible Panties are essentially three strategically placed silicone straps connected with what look like white paper clips. Two of the straps go between the legs and cradle a square piece of cloth against the crotch.
The brand has launched a Kickstarter to fund the project, with a goal of raising $10,000. Unsurprisingly, however, it has only had five backers so far who've donated $110 altogether, most likely because of its odd and uncomfortable-looking design.

A description for the panties on Kickstarter.com says: 'Use them every day, be sexy and free, even when you're having "special women's" days!'
It also lists some of the benefits of these panties compared to normal underwear, including 'no seams', 'no rolling' and 'no more ugly looking shapes under your clothes'.
But while the website claims Invisible Panties are just as 'sexy' as a conventional thong and a prettier alternative to 'grandma's panties', most would beg to differ.
Cosmopolitan.com writer Laura Beck, for instance, deemed them 'a cross between a chastity belt, a maxipad, and some random office supplies.'

Sexy alternative? And while the website says the panties are ideal for hot weather, one can't help but wonder if the plastic straps would cause uncomfortable chafing and sweating
Indeed, it seems somewhat farfetched to shell out $9.95 for underwear that could probably be constructed at home.

Oddly, the Kickstarter page emphasizes that Invisible Panties are apparently 'perfectly designed' for a woman's time of the month.
'Usual underwear cannot keep a pad not smashed for a long time, especially at night, that cause absolutely uncomfortable sleeping,' says the description.
By contrast, 'Baba invisible panties let you sleep however you like, you can roll over, twist and turn round all night long, a pad won't be smashed or damaged,' it says.
