SYDNEY, Mar. 5 /Medianet International-AsiaNet/ -- 
 
So Good You're Going to Wish you Could Eat Them. 
 
   'aussieBum has a responsibility to continually research and develop new fabric technologies. Banana fibre 
characteristically enjoys good luster, is lightweight, offers strong moisture absorption and is considered one of 
the most eco friendly fibers in the world today. We are truly proud of our contribution to the development of this 
fabric. It's exciting and once again, delivers Australia to the doorstep of the world!' Sean Ashby (aussieBum 
Founder)

   Everyone knew this was bound to happen sooner or later, and it finally has. AussieBum has gone 'Bananas' 
on us - and we're extremely satisfied with the result. This may sound strange at first, but the advantages of 
banana fibre are numerous. Firstly, it produces a completely natural fabric, being made from the bark of the 
banana tree. Also, banana, being a relatively easy fiber to spin, provides the soft, smooth and extremely 
comfortable result people have come to expect from top quality underwear brands. In fact banana fibre has 
come to be recognized as one of the most comfortable eco friendly fibres ever made, setting the standard high 
for sustainable fabrics. 
 
   This Banana range is also 100% Australian made. Thus ensuring an environmentally sustainable, top quality 
product and design in true aussieBum style. All things considered it seems the aussieBum team have once 
again hit the nail on the head, research showing that consumers are increasingly demanding greater quantities 
of sustainable and eco friendly products. Even Alan Greenspan has been quoted in using underwear as the 
main barometer for the economic climate, and what a way to start the New Year, one that will see Australia 
steadily coming out of the worst  financial recession in recent decades and aussieBum coming out with 
underwear that is leading the way into a sustainable future.  
 
   Innovation and design have always been the creative mantras that propel aussieBum apparel into the future, 
and the company has once again taken it to the next level. As a growing brand - true to it's humble beginnings- 
aussieBum are driven by the passion of ensuring their loyal customers' continue to get cutting edge, fun, sexy 
and innovative apparel. Where do aussieBum come up with these ideas one wonders? Mostly, this type of 
innovation is made possible because the company communicates and engages with their customers' 
invaluable feedback, acting upon suggestions and gathering community input using technology such as 
Facebook, Twitter and most recently 'Four Square.' If people today are demanding comfortable and stylish 
underwear, which also take into account concerns such as environmental and economic sustainability, then 
that's what they will be getting.
