“Check out the Ovary and Testis Underwear – Sexy Booty Shorts on the I Heart Guts site. The product description for the shorts reads ‘These fancy panties feature the ovaries and testicles in a chance encounter on your underpants. Celebrate your reproductive system, wear them under a long shirt, or don’t show anyone — it’ll be your little secret. They make fabulous reproductive undies if you’re trying to conceive, or just fun underpants even if you never want to tangle with someone else’s DNA.’”

The line features a cast of plush characters modeled after human organs including the “Ova Achiever” (ovary) the “Gland of Milk and Honey” (mammary gland) and “Gland Slam” (parathyroid gland). There are also a few tongue-in-cheek e-cards offering condolences for the loss of a gallbladder, thyroid or spleen (and a couple more that I found offensive.) Ever encountered anything like this stuff? It’s weird and slightly disturbing but also … oddly … collectible.” {by Annie Getsinger}
