Swedish boxers, bye bye ladders, and Doreen

• Coming soon to hospitals in Sweden: unisex underwear. The new boxers, designed for both male and female patients, are expected to arrive in hospitals in the summer, says AP.
• Coming a little later: ladder free tights. A new material that mends itself could be the answer to ripped hosiery problems, says The Times.
• And staying with The Times, style columnist Lucia Van Der Post sings the praises of Triumph Doreen and Anita Classix swimwear today - solutions for the problem of "looking less than slug-like on the beach".
