Assuming you could do this, why not just use the patch? |

The big drawback that I see is that if you spent all day in bed and never even put on underwear at all, you might get pregnant. You'd have to get dressed and go down to the store to get some milk, just to be sure you wouldn't get knocked up. |

How about designer patches which combine all the chemicals you need in one easy-to-apply patch?
"'Scuse me, I'd like a birth control and nicotine patch with hydrocortisone, a half-order of caffeinne, a half-order of Prozac and a regular insulin". |

The underwear would have to be crotchless. |

As bookworm notes, what's the point of putting this in underwear, rather than in a regular patch? Also, patches tend to be used for medication that needs to be released slowly over the course of a day. As I understand it, that's not the optimal way for birth control to be dosed. |

In fact, it would _have_ to be a patch or something that functions more like a patch than underwear. This is because the skin is good at keeping out most chemicals, but will open up and let most anything in if it is occluded. That is, the patch has to seal against the skin and prevent any breathability over the covered area, or none of the drug will be transferred. |

What happpens when the underwear gets wet or soiled? Are they dissolvable as well? |
