It's all about the non-panties

Hey, everyone knows that Blue Gal is the "panties" blogger. So when I saw this I immediately thought of her. In honor of the Queen of Panties -- the woman we all think of when we hear the word "panties" -- this post is for you, Blue Gal!

And hey, who knows ... maybe this post could make me the "anti-panties" blogger! ha

Found this on AOL, under some heading called "fashion" -- okay! Maybe disposable underwear IS fashion. Deanna Glick thinks it's a new fashion low.

I was browsing amongst the beautiful people in Georgetown over the weekend with a friend. Amid clothing items for $500 in Cusp and just as I was thinking the fashion world and capitalism couldn't get any crazier I came across Nundies. Disposable underwear. Not kidding. Think super, ultra, extra thin maxi pad that you stick to your pants instead of your washable underwear.

Here's the marketing shtick: Nundies are a one-time use, pantyless panty that adhere to the inside inseam of a woman's pants. Nundies are a great fashion solution product for women who want to go bare-down-there without the discomfort of itchy clothing. Nundies also save women from the embarrassment of tacky panty lines and from having to wear uncomfortable thongs.

They retail five (um, well, I can't say pairs, but anyway) for $15. That's enough to buy a nice whole organic chicken. OK, maybe that's off track. How about two jugs of Seventh Generation laundry detergent to wash your underwear in? Or a few pairs of underwear from Target that you can wash hundreds of times in that detergent? Or you can just leave the darn $15 in your pocket for crying out loud.

So there you have it! The non-panties "panties" -- the Nundies!

I think it would be cheaper to buy a roll of duct tape and some felt, plus the kids can cut' em out for you. Fun for the whole family.

Have you guys seen the c-strings? Clamp on panties. I'm not making that up.

OMG. Ha. I'm not sure whether I will laugh or cry when I see her wear that at the pool. Really, full nudity is SO much less offensive to my sense of propriety.

Yikes! That looks uncomfortable. Give me great big granny panites anyday! ha

Hey, boxer shorts don't make panty lines either. Been wearing 'em for years.

Wow. First I thought they were "nun" panties--like maybe nuns weren't allowed to buy regular washable panties (though I don't know why that would be), so these were to help out the nuns. Then I read a little more closely.

Okay, so yeah, I'm just an idiot.
