Swiss army to begin issuing female recruits with women's underwear

Female recruits to stop being given male underwear in a bid to up recruitment

The Swiss armed forces is taking a big step to recruit more women - by no longer making female recruits wear men's underwear.

At present, all recruits are issued with loose-fitting men's underwear, often in larger sizes", the BBC reported. In a trial set to begin in April, the Swiss army said women would be issued with two sets of female underwear - one for warmer months and one for colder months.
