Why.
Underwear is a nice and fun garment.
It's suitable for every occasion - lacey underwear for when you're feeling down, comfortable underwear for when you're feeling down, new underwear for when you're feeling down.
You get the idea.
That being said though, wearing the right underwear is difficult enough without having one more thing to worry about in the form of your bum hanging out.
Except in this case, that's apparently the desired effect.
Japanese website, Dreamcart, are selling the super low-rise underwear from a brand called 'Predator Rat' and they're just as questionable as you'd imagine.
There they are there, now.
See? We told you. Super low-rise.
So much so that the entire butt crack is literally exposed and it seems that that's the way it's supposed to be.
An unlikely trend that probably won't be catching on in Ireland any time soon but who are we to judge?
Come on, this one just looks like someone forgot to pull their bikini all the way up.
The underwear is currently on sale for about 20 quid.
And seeing as they don't even go all the way up, we're not entirely sure whether this is a good deal or not.
We're going to go ahead and say that it isn't and that we'll continue to buy all our underwear in bulk from the Penney's reduced section, thank you very much.
At least they'll cover our asses.
