High tech knickers!

A Toulouse fabric company has put its aeronautic experience into making underwear for "mamies" (grandmothers), with the aim of better protection and comfort.
The company has made airline cockpit carpets and other protective covers and decided that it could make lingerie that protected elderly people from harm if they suffered a fall. Also incorporating silver thread into knickers would help to protect from infections ( it is already quite widely used in men's socks).
The range is on sale from 25-85 euros and the company hopes to sell 12000 garments this year.
