Dissolvable bikini row
A bikini that dissolves in water has outraged killjoy women's rights
campaigners.
The saucy thong swimsuit - sold as the perfect present for
dumped boyfriends - looks like a real bikini but disappears completely after
just a few seconds in water.
Sellers in Germany bill the Get Naked
costume as a chance for men to get their own back after a break-up.
But
women's rights campaigner Rosmarie Zapfl stormed: "It is an absolute insult to
women that this has been invented."
The dissolvable bikinis are being
sold on the German revenge website www.racheshop.de with sizes 34 and 36 in a
thong version and 38, 40 and 42 with bikini bottoms.

Okay, that was very stereotypical. Not all Americans are fat, and the ones who are are getting skinnier.. I do admit, there are some serious fatasses here, but that doesn't mean you need to assume we won't worry. My girlfriend weighs UNDER 200 LBS!!! Weird, right? She's from America. Hope you don't go around saying all black people love Kool-aid now, or all Mexicans drink soda. Those are just as bad. It's all stupid stereotypes.

What I find amazing is, after looking at the site that sells the bikinis, I noticed they also sold mens trunks that do the same thing. In my opinion, the woman crying foul is just a frustrated, lonely woman who wants nothing more than to cause a stink. By the way, the bikinis and trunks are meant as a bedroom toy for couples to have fun. Any other use is up to the purchaser.

Most people wash new clothes before wearing them so i doubt this would work. But i like the idea and it seems like a really good prank.

As if a woman would be silly enough to wear a bikini bought by an ex-boyfriend! At least not without checking it very carefully..... :)
