Woman Turns Men’s Underwear Into DIY Tote, Goes Grocery Shopping: ‘Real Life Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai Monisha’

If there’s one thing Indians excel at, it’s “jugaad” (innovation). While the rest of the world might discard old items, Indians find ways to give them a second life. Old clothes become cleaning rags, glass bottles are transformed into flower vases, and the list goes on. While these everyday hacks are familiar to many, one woman recently caught the Internet’s attention for taking jugaad to an entirely new level.

She transformed a piece of men’s underwear into a fully functional sling bag. Yes, you read that right! A video of her has gone viral on social media, highlighting her creative and sustainable innovation. In the clip, the woman is seen buying vegetables at a local market.

What grabbed everyone’s attention, however, was her unconventional

choice of bag. Instead of a regular tote or plastic carry bag, she carried her groceries in a pair of stitched underwear. Even the shopkeeper, without batting an eye, placed the vegetables straight into her quirky creation.

The Woman Carried Around The Underwear Bag Without A Second Thought

As seen in the clip, the woman had sealed the button part of the underwear and stitched a strap on two opposite sides of the waistband, turning it into a functional bag which was easy to carry around. Her unique innovation left the Internet in shock and split at the same time.

The clip featured the caption “Indian women day by day,” accompanied by a graph showing an upward trend.

Internet Praises The Woman’s Creativity

In no time, the woman’s creativity caught the Internet’s attention. Social media users flooded the comments section with reactions ranging from laughter to admiration. Many praised her innovative thinking, resourcefulness and sustainable approach, while others couldn’t resist joking about her unconventional choice of bag.

A user wrote, “Aurat kuch bhi kr sakti hai, aaj prove ho gaya (A woman can do anything, it’s proven today).”

“Sustainability. Recycling. Reuse,” commented another.

Another person joked, “Meanwhile Dollar: Mere Sath anyay hua hai (Meanwhile Dollar, I have been treated unfairly).”

A social media user was reminded of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai’s Monisha, commenting, “Real-life Monisha spotted!”

Someone else hilariously penned, “Bechara husband ghar main apni underwear dhoond raha hoga (Poor husband must be looking for his underwear in the house.)”

Meanwhile, one user took a dig at American’s brand for selling cheaper Indian bags at higher prices, saying, “Iss bag ko me America me bechunga 50 dollar me.”

A section also praised the woman for being a “sustainability” champion and reusing old clothes.
