Silver lined underpants will block radiation

Smart underwear designed to protect male fertility from radiation emitted by smartphones and laptops has been unveiled by a British scientist.

Described by Richard Branson as “underpants for superheroes”, the Wireless Armour underwear contains a mesh of pure silver woven into the fabric that shields against 99.9% of electromagnetic radiation, which is emitted from devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops, and has been linked to fertility problems by scientists.

Inventor Joseph Perkins said that the growing popularity of smart, but radiation-emitting devices prompted him to take action.
