A woman shopping for a new pair of pants was left baffled by a bizarre ‘bumless’ style, featuring a large hole over the bottom.
Charmaine Hargreaves was browsing Boux Avenue looking for fresh underwear, when she noticed the strange look.
The ‘Brianna lace bumpless briefs’ were on sale for just £3, down from £9, but they have significantly less material than you might expect.

Featuring a lace design, they appear to be standard briefs from the front – but at the back, there is a large oval slit over the bum.
Charmaine shared the find on Facebook, writing, “Being a Yorkshire woman, I like a good bargain.
“Being an Equestrian, it’s very rare I buy anything for myself.
“My horses cost as much as another mortgage and get everything they need and more, while I wear the same clothes day in, day out until they fall apart.
“Now it’s not often I talk about my undergarments to anyone…But I thought to myself, it’s about time I treat myself to a few new pairs, as mine are quite literally falling to pieces.
“I went on a popular website to see if I could find a bargain under the ‘sale’ section.
“I came across these at £3 a pair and thought that seemed reasonable.
“I was a little confused as to the meaning of “bumless briefs” and thought I best check this out before I make any sudden decisions.
“All I can say is this is… interesting.
“For what reason would someone want their butt crack on a show?
“Is it sexy? Is it to make it easier to use the toilet?
“Thought I was young, but maybe being put off by this attire is showing my age.”
The post garnered more than 4,000 likes, reports Need To Know.
One person commented: “What’s the point”?
“I wonder what they do with the tiny piece of material left…behind!?!?” another user wondered.
Someone else joked: “Maybe for female plumbers to make them look like their male counterparts when working.”
“Surely you’d still have to remove them when using the toilet? It’s almost impossible not to wee at the same time as a poo isn’t it?” questioned one viewer.
Another joked: “It’s like a slot machine.”
While this particular style appears to have since sold out, Boux Avenue has nearly a dozen similar styles currently for sale, featuring the same hole around the bottom.
