It turns out your mother was right. You know all those times you rolled your eyes when she warned you to wear nice underwear in case you were hit by a bus? Well, we’re not really worried about the bus part, but we have been caught by our GP, our gym mates, our husbands (!) in ratty panties that belie the stylish exterior we try so hard to portray.
So, convinced it’s what’s on the inside that counts – and unable to resist the “Wall Street Journal” article touting them as “lace butter” — we’ve converted to Hanky Panky undies. These soft, beautiful objects of affection live up to their hype – really. They’re comfortable, pretty and effective in getting rid of the dreaded VPL.
Suckers for a good story, we love that Hanky Panky was created after Gale Epstein gave Lida Orzeck lingerie made from handkerchiefs for her birthday. Thirty years later, those original panties grace the permanent costume collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the duo’s Hanky Panky has changed the face – not to mention bottom – of fashion.
We were a little freaked out by the one-size-fits-most thong at first – How can we wear the same size as Kate Hudson and Heidi Klum? How can the mothers of teenagers even wear a thong? – but we’re here to tell you it somehow works. That content expression on our faces? Just attribute it to a little Hanky Panky.
