Created by boffins in Tokyo, J-Ware “stink-free” underwear is being tested by Koichi Wakata, currently orbiting the earth on the International Space Station.

“He can wear his trunks more than a week. The other astronauts become very sweaty, but he doesn’t have any sweat. He didn’t need to hang his clothes to dry,” reports an official with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency.

How?

This versatile undergarment can kill bacteria, absorb water, insulate the body, and it dries quickly too.

Unfortunately, this miracle clothing looks as if it’ll be confined to space explorers. The rest of us will just have to (continue to) endure daily clothes changing, laundry and personal hygiene.

Could go nicely with this Aircool suit.

If you are not particularly finicky about these things, then go on and look for some other gadget to read about. If you are like me, however, you might want to take a look at this UV Toothbrush Sanitizer from SkyMall. Obviously, the goal is for your toothbrush (or toothbrushes for that matter) to be clean enough to polish those teeth of yours.

I have to be honest and say that I am not at all sure about all the stuff that SkyMall sells but this one seems pretty good to me. The sanitizer can hold up to four toothbrushes at a single time. It gets rid of icky microorganisms by exposing the brushes to ultraviolet light for seven minutes. At the end of this period, the sanitizer turns off automatically. Needless to say, I still suggest cleaning your toothbrush manually before sanitizing it with UV.

The sanitizer is available at SkyMall for $39.99. Not a bad price, considering you can use it for the whole household.
