The Undie Conundrum: Ditch The Boyfriend, Keep The Lingerie?

M. ReyesSeptember 11, 2008 //

I only think about my underwear in the millisecond when I yank them out of my dresser drawer in the morning. (Thong or no? Is this going to ride up at the gym?) My bra never matches my out-of-season holiday panties or my cotton boy shorts with a French poodle printed on the butt saying, “Ooh la la!” But whenever I’m in a serious relationship, I give painstaking consideration to my unmentionables. I’ve gotten on a plane wearing an elaborate black-and-pink lace getup under a T-shirt and jeans to meet my boyfriend, and shown up at his doorstep wearing nothing underneath a dress. Keep reading »

Thongs For Abstinence Or Marketing

Annika HarrisJuly 30, 2008 //

We’ve seen abstinence-promoting promise rings, bracelets and even sweats. Now, your underwear, specifically your thong, can announce your commitment to abstinence with slogans like, “Earn your right to wear white. Abstain”, “Iron Hymen“, and “Beat It,” complete with a finger-pointing Jesus. Keep reading »

Slideshow: Granny Panties

SimchaJuly 22, 2008 //

Granny panties are so hot now for young babes. And unlike their tinier counterparts — bikinis, thongs, and tangas — big ol’ briefs will cover your back instead of riding up it. Styles like boy shorts let us shake our booty freely and bend over without getting a wedgie, upsides everyone can get behind. Since we’re too sexy for dental floss undies, here are some full-on Frisky picks, after the jump… Keep reading »

Wonderbra Plans The Largest Lingerie Shoot Ever

Catherine StrawnJune 18, 2008 //

Wonderbra is trying to organize the world’s biggest underwear shoot ever, and let me tell you, there is a lot of competition in this category. They’re looking for 1,000 women in London to photograph in their new line of bras. We smell a bigger version of Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty. At least with so many models, the people will be so small that airbrushing won’t really be a factor. [MarieClaire.co.uk]

Women’s Underwear Causes Fear Among Myanmar Junta

Catherine StrawnMay 28, 2008 //

Apparently, there’s a superstition about female undergarments in Myanmar. The military junta fears any contact with underwear — thongs, bikinis, boy shorts, everything — will unsettle military rulers and cause their downfall. Panties for Peace campaign is urging Canadian women to pick a pair of undies from their drawer, glue a picture or write a message for the junta on them, register them with the organization, and then send them to the Myanmar embassy in Ottawa. Women in Australia, Singapore, the Philippines, Brazil, and other countries across Europe are doing the same, and while this Canadian campaign was just reported on Sify.com, it seems other Panties for Peace initiatives have been going on elsewhere for at least six months. Wouldn’t it be great if the people who work at the embassy donated all the underwear to women who need it? (Well, as long as it’s all clean.) [Sify.com and Guardian.co.uk] Keep reading »

    Gross Guy Trend: Big, Padded Booties

    Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 29, 2008 //

    At first when I saw this line of padded butt boxers for men, I was convinced it was one of those underwear sites for gay men that also make weird contraptions that cradle the balls. After all, every gay man I know has been a little more interested in having a pert bum for, you know, obvious reasons, than any of my straight guy friends. But apparently, I was wrong. These babies are for men of all sexual preferences. This makes me sad for a number of reasons. Have men become so obsessed with their bodies that they actually worry so about having the perfect apple bottom that they’re willing to wear padding? And why on earth would he want a butt this bubblicious? The mind boggles. [Bottoms Up via DeVore & Diana] Keep reading »

    Frisky Quote Of The Day: From Rod Stewart’s Clothing Line

    Catherine StrawnMarch 25, 2008 //

    “Isn’t It Romantic?” — Printed on the underwear in Rod Stewart’s new clothing line. Yes, you heard that right, however Rod’s “clothing line” appears to be little more than various items — baby bibs, t-shirts, etc. — printed with song titles or images of Rod.

    Clarkson Goes Commando

    SimchaMarch 18, 2008 //

    Kelly Clarkson explained to a reporter how a good luck charm, or lack thereof, helped her win American Idol. It wasn’t a rabbit’s foot or a four-leaf clover — her secret was safely between her legs. Kelly goes commando! She claims that since her panties have been gone, she’s been able to breathe and give her performances her all. But, Kelly worries she’ll be exposed as the next celebrity crotch shot victim and nobody wants a pap to smear them. Despite her fear of winding up like Britney Spears, she stands by her naked ambition, “Why’d anyone want a little thing up their butt when they can go free?” [ Star Pulse] Keep reading »

    The Mother Land of Down Under: U.K. Men Obsessed With Hot Underwear

    SimchaJanuary 24, 2008 //

    There’s a new trend in Britain, and even the BBC nightly newsman Jeremy Paxman is reporting his findings. The accent may make you weak in the knees, but British men have got something even sexier in their pants: hot underwear. From David Beckham’s Armani tight white briefs, to the print pairs by Ginch Gonch, the U.K. is packaging their manhood like no other nation. And they can’t stop bragging from newspapers, to billboards, to bedrooms. While American men are responsible for the so un-sexy sagging pants with boxer look, English chaps are doing their part to glorify the men’s meat market. Ladies, it’s definitely time for another British invasion! [Telegraph U.K.]
