Welcome to the Jungle

SoBe Safari Lingerie

A rabbit can make you feel warm and fuzzy, and a dolphin can be fun to play with — but you usually like to keep the animals out of the bedroom.

Except when they’re members of SoBe Safari.

A special line of underthings courtesy of OnGossamer, it’s the company’s signature micromesh, low-rise bikinis adorned with wild animals. In keeping with the theme, the panties themselves come in neutral shades (think cream, peach, and brown), while the beasts are made of metallic studs and dazzling crystals.

Choose from five designs: elephant, zebra, giraffe, tiger, and cheebrah (a cheetah-zebra mix). The cheeky things do more than just get you back to your animal instincts: Partial proceeds go to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, which helps herd and ensure adequate water supply to the African animals.

Plus, at just $22 a pair, you can afford to stock up on the entire collection.

Meaning your bedroom is where the wild things are.
