A British art student has created underwear showing intricately labelled diagrams of the female reproductive system. It's time to wear your biology textbook on your body, says Claire Cohen...
Remember the Tata bikini top? Well, hot on its nipples, come the most anatomically correct lingerie you’re ever likely to see.
Art student Eleanor Beth Haswell, 18 from North East England has created knickers, which depict the female reproductive system in all its glory. From the cervix to the fallopian tubes and even ‘broad tissue’, the pants are a celebration of our hidden lady parts.
What's more the diagram is handily annotated in a style we haven't seen since the last time we looked at a biology textbook. So if you (or your partner) aren’t completely clear where the cervix is, the mystery can finally be solved.
Haswell’s project, called ‘Why are you so afraid of your own anatomy?’ also includes an annotated padded bra, made to look like breast tissue.
In an interview, Hawell explained why she was inspired to create the underwear: "I began to notice a lot more shaming online, especially in the UK...This piece isn't being gender specific, suggesting that all women have this particular anatomy.
It was a question on anyone who chooses to shame women; those who would find it acceptable to wear a bra that would almost look like a breast from a distance, but be relieved at the thought of a woman being covered up."
