Elated by record sales, a Taiwanese lingerie business has asked all its female staff to report for work in their under garments for a day. Declaring November 21 as Camisole Day in celebration of its record sales, the Audrey Underwear company in Taizhong city, asked its entire female staff of 500 women working in the firm's headquarters to wear nothing but camisoles and underwear.

A pro-democracy group based in Thailand has urged Australians to join a campaign it dubbed as "Panty Power" and flood Myanmar's embassy in Canberra with undergarments. The Lanna Action for Burma, a group based in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai, said in a statement, "The Burma military regime is not only brutal but very superstitious. They believe that contact with a woman's panties or sarong can rob them of their power. "

Superstition is now playing a key role as the world begins to unite in protest against the recent brutal crackdown in Myanmar. Women have been sending their underwear to Burma or its embassies outside the country as a sign of protest. Liz Hilton, a supporter of an activist group that started the "Panties for Peace" campaign, said that sending women's undergarments was a strong message in Burmese and in all South East Asian Culture.

Women peace activists from Thailand, Australia, Singapore, and European countries are sending or delivering their underwear to Myanmar missions. The symbolic act is meant to protest the Myanmar junta's violent crackdown of monks-led rallies in Yangon last month, and to oust the generals ruling the country from power.

Newspapers across Germany are highly criticizing a competition to find the "worlds most beautiful bottom" launched by German underwear firm Sloggi. Alleging that the competition promotes "pornography," several Swedish newspapers have taken exception to the competition.
