Hemorrhoid Thong
"A new kind of thong that helps treat hemorrhoids."

In recent years thong underwear have become very popular. However attractive, the thong is a fairly poor alternative to other forms of underwear; not providing cover, comfort, warmth or support that are ample in the cotton brief, boxer or hybrid.

This reality has encouraged some of us to take an interest in the thong, from a design standpoint. Many hours of research have revealed that the thong consists of three basic parts. The "waistband", the "loin cloth", and the "butt-string", or 'thong'; most of which is concealed between the gluteus'.

This design feature qualifies the humble thong, after a few modifications, as a treatment aide for a medical condition that is becoming increasingly common in our sedentary culture: hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoid medication is applied to the hemorrhoids via the "butt-string" throughout the day. The medication can be stored in the "loin-cloth" part and squeezed through the hollow thong structure to exit through pores that align with the sphincter in question.

       Can it also be designed to cope with the steady leakage of Lipitor recipients?   

       Given its proximity to the expulsion point of the alimentary canal, there's also a potential market for particulate filtering and catalysis of waste gases...

       And I was thinking this was going to be a polo shaped thong. How disappointing.

       Is this a "let's all…"?

       Of course not. It is an invention of a new kind of thong that helps treat haemorrhoids.

       Brilliant! As long as that string is right there anyway... might as well put it to use.   

       And the demographics match so well... All those young ladys who suffer from... oh, wait... Err... will this encourage old men to wear thongs at the beach?
