There’s no doubt that we live in a massively irradiated world. We swim in a sea of WiFi, mobile phone, broadcast TV, microwave and other electromagnetic stuff every single day, and it’s getting worse not better. Which could be rather worrying if some studies are to be believed.

“Semen exposed to RF electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones had higher levels of damaging free radicals, lower sperm motility (the ability of sperm to move and swim), lower sperm viability (the percentage of live sperm), and possibly greater oxidative stress.”

To the rescue then, comes the RadiaShield Men’s Boxer Briefs, underwear specifically designed to protect against the form of damage suggested in these studies. The under-garments (lovely word) utilize a codpiece arrangement to protect the gentleman’s … ahem … organs from any significant ambient radiation using a specialized material construction.

The briefs are also anti-bacterial, anti-odor, and beathable, which should mean more comfort and less smell, and the radiation protection is tested to 99.9% shielding (40-60dB, whatever that means). Oh and it’s all machine washable, which is handy.

You can have your briefs in any style and color you like, as long as it’s boxers in grey. They are available up to XL size and are priced at a ‘saving the species’ type price of $49.
