prototypes of what has now become go-fly technology. This episode, as it turns out, is for everyone

because there are a ton of professions and applications not just for women or women's

anatomy where the go fly technology can make a whole lot of sense and not just increase the

accessibility of these basic human functions but also make it safer consider rock climbing there has been

more than one occasion in a harness where I find myself avoiding going pee because of the

risks involved. Since I started wearing Nara's go there pants and shorts a couple of years ago,
