Sex toys that allow its users to operate them from afar is definitely not new, and it seems that Durex also wants in on the fun as they have announced a new line of underwear called the “Fundawear”. While Durex is known primarily for their condoms, the Fundawear will be the company’s first experiment with wearable technology and are basically undergarments for both men and women that come equipped with tiny vibrators that are strategically placed around you and your partner’s naughty bits.

The thought of buying underwear from the same company that makes your condoms might sound shocking at first. But don’t be so quick to judge, especially where sex is concerned, as Durex has just announced its latest innovation. Fundawear.
Fundawear represents the condom company’s first foray into the land of connected devices, and the name explains quite well how it works. You put on special (read: vibrating) underwear that connect to a smartphone app. You can control the vibrations yourself with a smartphone as a remote, or pair the panties with your partner’s smartphone, so they can control the fun.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that long-distance sexy time has been explored by the tech community. There are a whole host of startups, as well as established sex toy brands, that are working to connect people digitally and physically at the same time.
There’s the LovePalz duo kit, which seems to be the most intense of all, with parts for both the male and female to simulate sex across long distances and still feel each other’s movements in real time. Vibease, along with various offerings from Ohmibod, come to mind, as well.
However, this is the first time we’ve seen a condom company throw their hat in the ring, which means that a lot of R&D and resources went into the Fundawear. You know, along with careful consideration over the name.
Fundawear comes in both male and female versions, so you fellas don’t have to be worried about a one-size-fits-all kind of situation.
The Fundawear undies and app companion aren’t available just yet, but frisky explorers interested in joining the testing program can head over to Durex’s Australian Facebook page.
Warning: The following video is kind of sort of NSFW.
So obviously this was going to happen eventually, but that doesn’t mean we’re ready for it. Durex just announced what it’s calling “Fundawear“, which ostensibly stands for “fun underwear” but which Durex believes will eventually come to mean “article of clothing that is fun like once ever and until you realize what horror you’ve wreaked in your pants and never want to talk about it again.” More »
When you look down at your smartphone and think about how much it’s made your life easier and better, you’ll probably think about how the Internet is at your fingertips or how you can share filtered photos with friends or send texts without ever having to speak to anyone. You’ll probably think that’s why the smartphone was invented. You’d be wrong. The reason we have smartphones? For an emergency condom delivery app. More »
In this hilarious video about Durex condoms, boys are tossing water balloons that explode all over the sidewalk and leak onto people. But if they use a condom? No matter the pressure, no matter the friction, it stays strong. So yeah, condoms are better than water balloons at not ripping. [Vimeo via Design Taxi] More »
