Swedish design will give the defense more comfortable underwear

The Armed Forces' difficulties obtaining underwear for women have been a seemingly endless series.

Now, a collaboration is being launched with a Swedish company that designs outdoor clothing adapted to women's bodies. Over the course of three years, Astrid Wild will develop a design solution that women in uniform will test and evaluate in the field.

"Women should of course have the same conditions as men to be able to work and carry out their mission in the Armed Forces," says Kent Nysten, the Armed Forces' project coordinator, in a press release.
