Because nothing is more romantic than sending a big, vibrating hello to your partner's underwear through an iPhone app, Durex has good news.

Introducing Fundawear.

The high-tech undies (bra, underwear, and briefs included) allow couples to "touch each other over the Internet" and are being dubbed by the condom manufacturer as "The Future of Foreplay."

The app includes cartoon-ish diagrams of your partner's underwear. When the user taps and moves his/her finger across those areas, the corresponding parts of the underwear vibrate on the wearer's body.

To the disappointment of long-distance couples everywhere, the underwear isn't on the market yet -- though Durex Australia is hosting a Facebook contest for a free giveaway.
