It's crazy how often one sees a completely naked bottle of water out in public. Luckily, Japans is offering a solution.

Novelty producer Kitan Club created a unique line of underwear designed specifically for water bottles. The panties are made variety of different designs including stripes, polka dots, leopard skin, strawberries and plain.

For those that think this is simply another useless novelty, the panties actually act as glorified coasters. They're able to absorb beads of water as the cold bottles begin to moisten and prevents tables from getting ruined.

Available online, the panties can be purchased for 200 yen ($1.60 US) through the club. Unfortunately, you can only get them for 500ml bottles.
