GO COMMANDOS!
Underwear-Free Is
Latest Fashion Trend
By Jeizel Pickett

We live in an age where trendy denim cuts for women continue to plunge to lower levels and flattering, tighter fitting pants will always be in vogue. While seasonal variations on these traditional hip hugging silhouettes continue to evolve such as the latest incarnation of the stovepipe jean, appropriate undergarments to suit them have not kept pace.

As a result, women of all ages are challenging the panty paradigm and opting to go underwear free (a.k.a. commando) to avoid the possibility of uncomfortable, exposed thongs peeking over the waistline or the ever dreaded visible panty line (VPL).

It should come as no surprise then that according to a 2005 study conducted by freshpair.com, a leading internet retailer of name-brand underwear products, approximately 6.5 million American women choose to go commando on a regular basis. That figure equates equals to roughly six percent of all women in the United States.

Finally a solution is now available that provides essential protection without the need for inhibiting undergarments - Original COMMANDOS™ - the next step in the evolution of underwear!

Created by The COMMANDOS™ Group (TCG), led by Jo Bernard and custom-clothing designer B.K. Phillips, COMMANDOS™ patches are a uniquely shaped, soft cotton patch designed specifically to securely adhere within the curved seam of jeans, pants, capris or shorts. The ultra-soft cotton fabric protects delicate parts from scratchy, irritating seams and reduces the chance for infection.

Bernard and Phillips, developed the patch following a frank conversation the two had about Bernard's wish to "go commando"ť and desire for comfort and protection so she asked for a cotton patch that would stick in her jeans. Phillips, an ingenious and resourceful custom clothing designer by trade, immediately set about creating a prototype for Bernard and the idea for the Original COMMANDOS™ patch was born.

"When I shared the concept, I quickly realized that many other women wanted the same thing! The COMMANDOS™ patch is the solution that millions of women never knew they were looking for,"ť said TCG co-founder and Commando-in-Chief, Jo Bernard. "Our product is really about freedom; the COMMANDOS™ woman embraces new ideas, is comfortable with her sexuality and values personal health and comfort. We hope that our product will perpetuate the idea of women embracing their sexuality, feeling good about themselves and having a higher awareness for freedom of choice and personal health."ť

Offered in several discreet color options including Black, Light Nude, White, Pale Pink, and Denim the disposable patches are intended for one time use and should be removed immediately after wearing. Although COMMANDOS™ patches are currently available in various quantities; the standard retail offering is a pack of eight patches for $16.00 plus tax. The patches can be found in select retail boutiques and spas and are also available for purchase online at gocommandos.com .
