There's been an accident: An unexpected period, a drip of pee or a case of sweaty swamp butt. Now it's time to change your underwear.
Just one problem: You can't swap your undies in plain sight.
It's a problem most women (and men) have run into, which is both uncomfortable and awkward. In response, one woman created a new active-intimate apparel line that hopes to solve the issue.

Slick Chicks is an intimates brand that allows women to change panties without taking off their clothes. The underwear comes with easily removable hook and eye closures at each side, so a woman can slip in and out of a pair whenever she needs.
"It's a convenient way of wearing underwear without having to bend over and take off all your clothing," founder Helya Mohammadian tells Mashable.
Mohammadian says the underwear is discreet and easy enough that women can get in and out of their undies inside a subway train, at their cubicle desks or even at a restaurant.
"I designed this line for women who are in situations where they can't readily get to the bathroom," she says. "No one will know."
Mohammadian, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, came up with the idea after working at Soul Cycle. She realized that with an active lifestyle she was constantly changing in and out of soiled undies. To combat the elements, she ensured that each pair was also breathable, moisture-wicking with antimicrobial fibers, but strong enough to hold wash after wash.
Mohammadian says her company is meant to empower women to become super independent.
"Whether it's an expectant mother, someone with a physical handicap or someone who needs assistance changing, the easy clasps make it easy for anyone to change themselves," she says. "You can be active, you can be pregnant or in a wheelchair, but know that with this underwear you can really be able to do it yourself."
The line is offered in three styles: Bikini brief, thong and boyshort, and prices range from $26-$28. They're currently available at slickchicksonline.com.
