The jury's still out on whether cell phone radiation causes infertility, but one study strongly suggests men who spend more than four hours a day on a cell phone have the worst sperm counts. Several companies have gone as far as lining pants' pockets, shirts and caps with special fabric to keep harmful radiation away from these sensitive areas, but one Swiss company is playing into hypochondriac fears by designing a special brief for men.
Isabodywear's briefs are lined with silver threads, which is believed to be the key element that blocks harmful cell phone radiation. Designer Andreas Sallmann, claims the brief will block any incoming calls, provided the cell phone is hidden behind the fabric. The initial run will consist of 4,000 black briefs sold through Isabodywear's online store for a whopping $24. If the price seems a bit excessive, Textually says you could try requesting one of the 500Â special pairs slated for testing purposes. Just shoot them an email, and cross your fingers. Hopefully, they'll pick you.
