Chafe off undies.

BONDS have launched Chafe Off undies in a campaign via Special bringing a chafeless utopia to life. 

The Goodbye Friction campaign imagines a world where, thanks to BONDS Chafe Off, friction is a thing of the past; the heated trash talk in a rugby scrum transforms into compliment-laden words of affirmation, and hot headed chefs dish up wholesome support and appreciation with their trademark passion and intensity.

The campaign sets up the possibility for BONDS to play an active role in helping people bid Goodbye to Friction in all aspects of life, be it amongst sporting rivals, between reality TV contestants or in heated gridlock traffic. 

Special ECD Ryan Fitzgerald said friction really does have a lot to answer for. 

“There’s plenty that can be soothed by simply donning a pair of BONDS Chafe Off undies, we’re looking forward to seeing what else the BONDS brand can take from punchy to positive,” he said. 

BONDS marketing manager Liz Coburn said the team hear from men every day that chafing is their #1 pain point when it comes to undies. 

“BONDS Chafe Off is revolutionising the game by stopping friction in its tracks. Through our cheeky BONDS humour, we hope to share the friction-free joy to Aussie men all around the country,” she said. 

The campaign is brought to life across Online Video, Social, OOH and POS.
