Here’s a novel idea: underwear that makes you feel like a superhero in bed. That came out wrong.
Wikipedia has a list of all the styles, ranging from DC and Marvel comic book heroes to Star Wars to Ms. Pacman.

Aww, how cute.
Aww, how creepy.
That brings back all types of memories and is creepy at the same time…
These came out just when I was too old for them. I’m still a little bitter about it.
my mom bought a ton of these for me and my brother. i don’t remember being all that happy about them (maybe i was too old) but my brother wore them all the time.
I remember wanting these but, my Mom would never buy them for me. I especially wanted the Wonder Woman ones.
One of my fondest childhood memories is wearing my Superman underoos and jumping from the sofa to the recliner in my living room. I would laugh and yell as I launched off the sofa, getting extra oomph from the springy cushions.
Oh childhood, how I miss thee.
Creepy/10.
… so it’s only one tenth creepy?
My favorite Underoos memory is the commercial where the kids put on their Underoos and change into animated versions of their favorite characters– except somebody forgot to inform the animators that Optimus Prime is a robot, so he had a flesh-colored face under his mask. Apparently he’s white!
I had a set of the Wonder Woman Underoos when I was about 4 yrs. old, and I would walk around the house singing, “Under-Woman!” My puns have not gotten much better since…
is that katherine heigel?
I wondered the same thing!
Never had any “fun” underwear as a kid… my parents were super cheep. -_-
I never got these when I was little, but my mom still embarrasses my big brothers by showing their kids the picture of the two of them in their yoda and Darth Vader underoos wielding cardboard lightsabers.
Indeed. All I wanted was a cool pair of Underoos, like Superman or Darth Vader. Instead, I got Yoda. If you’ve ever seen the Yoda underpants, you’ll understand. You could not be proud of this underwear. It looked like you cr@pped your pants while sitting on Yoda’s face. Just one of a long string of disappointments that marked my childhood.
I had those wonder woman underoos! What’s creepy about them? They have cartoons and stuff all over underwear and even diapers for kids it’s not unusual.
i wonder how she felt standing next to him in her underwear…i wonder…
I had Wonder Woman.
Little Sis had Spider Woman.
We. Were. AWESOME…for a 5 and a 3 year old.
I just wish they still made them, but in adult sizes. I would totally buy me some Princess Leia Underoos.
I would also buy you some Princess Leia Underoos. All you want.
Ah, for the innocence of the past, when a full-page, full-color ad could feature children in their underwear and not seem inappropriate….XD
It was all about the Superman underoos for me, especially since I had a red cape, complete with S-shield, from a Superman-costume set of feety pajamas that I had outgrown. The cape had been oversized for the PJs, so the cape-and-Super-Underoos combo lasted me until I had outgrown the largest size they made.
I was just thinking the SAME thing. Now someone would be having a cow over the sexual undertones in the ad or some dumb thing. I also miss the innocence of the times.
I think Spiderboy is padding his underoos…
I had yoda ones. They were puke green. Come on! Underwear, no matter what’s on it, is a sucky gift for a kid!
I totally had Daisy Duke Underoos!
Most definitely had the Wonder Woman ones and still do in my craft stuff…don’t think I ever wore them as underwear though, just dress up…hmm
omg! i had the wonder woman underoos! and i had this thing where id take the toy bowling balls from a bowling set that i had stuffed them down my front and said i was dolly parton.lol
Nearly 30 years ago, I used the “underwoman” ones as an incentive when potty-training my two-year-old. The “underwomanpants” worked!
The girl underroos were white on the back. The boy underroos had costume all the way around.
Try explaining to your mother just why you want her to buy you boy underwear when you’re a little girl. Just try.
wow thats a rip off
um…………
I LOOOOVED underoos and wish they still made them!! I had C3PO and Wonder Woman! They always made me feel strong and powerful when I wore them under my clothes! I remember wearing them while watching Sat morning cartoons!
hahahaha I had R2D2 and Wonder Woman! I loved them!
i bought some batman ones a few years agao, like the biggest size they had for boys… did not work out.
ago**
I had the Wonder Woman ones, and then cut the straps off because Wonder Woman didn’t have straps. I learned a valuable physics lesson that day.
why does the girl have a penis? thats creepy.
…. Seriously? Have you ever seen a woman in underwear?
We all know that spiderboy got ballz
Eww, kiddie bulge you can like literally see the outline of his junk O_O
Underoos are fun to wear, yeah! Something super new in underwear!
Yeah, except my mom would never buy them for me because she was a cheap giant pack of underwear from Sears kind of mom.
I had the Wonder Woman Underoos and wore them everywhere.
I always wanted the Wonder Woman ones. My mom said no because I would grow out of them too fast. Ah, well. =(
When I started working at Toys R Us I worked in the Kids R Us clothing department and they still carried underoos up until like ‘04 or ‘05. I don’t know if they still make them. TRU has almost completely discontinued their apparel stock and I’m not really in the market for children’s underwear at the present time because I’m neither a child nor have a child.
I never had underoos. I don’t even think I knew they existed when I was of an underoo-wearing age, something my mom probably conveniently kept me oblivious of so she wouldn’t have to spend the extra money. I still got character underwear, but plain old Hanes panties with the characters on the front and plain white undershirts. Also, I could’ve gone without knowing that my mom’s gay cousin and his boyfriend helped potty train me and bought me my first pair of big-girl undies…(awkward undergarment conversation is unfortunately normal at my house…)
