Legendary Australian brand hits the U.S. market with a heavy dose of cheek and dead-serious comfort, featuring Aussie stars Robert Irwin & Tkay Maidza

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bonds, the iconic Australian underwear brand trusted by Aussies for more than 100 years, is bringing its “Made for Down Under” comfort to the U.S. Known for keeping Aussie bums, boobs, and bits comfy with hardworking underwear, Bonds creates essentials built to handle whatever life throws at you.

“We’re thrilled to introduce our iconic underwear and signature Aussie spirit to the U.S.,” said Tanya Deans, President of Bonds Australia. “Americans might wonder - how are Aussies so laid back in a land filled with dangerous creatures like sharks, spiders, crocs, and snakes? The answer is simple: They’re all wearing Bonds.”

The creative campaign, Made for Down Under, brings that signature Aussie charm stateside, featuring conservationist and TV personality Robert Irwin (yes, that Irwin) and rising hip-hop star Tkay Maidza. Shot with real-life snakes and spiders, the fearless Australian spokespeople effortlessly model their favorite Bonds undies while posing in the midst of danger. Bonds has their backs – and bums – covered.

The Made for Down Under national campaign will roll out across OOH, digital, social, podcasts, and connected TV beginning in April and running through the rest of the year.

“We cannot wait for our U.S. mates to experience Bonds for the first time,” said Tanya Deans. “The average Aussie has 12 Bonds products in their home. We’re quite literally the first thing people put on in the morning, and the last thing they take off at night. Now, we’re excited to help Americans level up their top drawer with down under comfort.”

With more than 17,000 five-star reviews and a reputation for being wildly comfortable, Bonds boasts seriously ultra-soft, high-quality fabrics designed for all-day wear. Sizes range from XS-XXL (Women’s), S-3XL (Men’s), and 32A-38DD (Bras).
