Unless you're the commando type. Which is icky.
Let's start off with my most essential of essentials, the Victoria's Secret VS Cotton string bikini.
This is my favorite pair of underpants because it is simple, cheap-ish (if you do the 5 for $25 deal that is, $7.50 for a pair of plain old underpants is kind of steep), and most importantly - they don't go up your butt. That's my favorite part about a good pair of underpants, the not-going-up-your-buttness. They're also comfy, and made of a nice loose cotton so they don't get all gross or itch or chafe or interact strangely with your jeans like some synthetics do. They breathe, so to say. And what distinguishes these from other cotton underwear is the cut - it's like you're not wearing any.
Granted, when I (and I presume, most humans) wear them they don' t look NEARLY as sexual as they do on the model here - but that's why I like them. No pretentions, assumptions...they're made NOT to be seen, not to be seen, if you catch my drift. Plus they come in a very practical beige/tan color that stays pretty invisible under everything, and your staple grays, blacks, and whites. They come in all kind of printies but printes on your ass? Right.
If you're going to have DESIGNS on your crotch, then you should forget the cute little florally things Vikki's puts out and go for GOLD.
As in, pot of gold, with these little numbers titled "Rainbows Shooting from a Mystical Pot of Gold," available from ruffeoheartslilsnoty.etsy.com
And with other variations such as rainbows shooting out of "geoducks," rainbows shooting out of mystical clams...you catch the drift. Kind of irresistable.
Meanwhile, who doesn't want butt cleavage?, available from knickerocker.etsy.com
...whose metalic gold and silver underwear makes me wonder if these aren't meant to be worn outside your pants...say at the roller derbie.
...
I'd do it.
Etsy features some sweeter and more traditional forms of underwear, like from sandmaiden.etsy.com, who is repeatedly showing up as one of Etsy's lingerie mavens in searches and front pages galore. As well she should, because her stuff is gorgeous. Check this out:
And then there's Hot Topic, where Everything is clearly not about the music. I am especially a fan of the pleather bandeau bra which they're hawking to their target age group of angsty girls wearing too much eyeliner between the ages of 12 and 15 o_O.
Now if you're REALLY in the mood to spend some mullah on undies, check out these Embrace Collection G-string Shorts from La Perla
at $203 USD. Pas mal, n'est-ce pas?
And if you like the romantic, international import style, you should check out Koniakow, a sweet little village in Poland, traditionally renowned for its handmade, traditional lace. It evokes images of little grannies sitting around painstakingly working thread into beautiful, patterned table cloths, curtains, and doilies for the back of your toilet.
But that stuff got old hat, so Koniakow adapted - and now they make traditional Polish granny lace underpants. Apparently village elders have gotten a little uptight about this, but they certainly seem to be sexing it up at the website. But what I especially enjoy is that the website isn't koniakow lace or koniakow underpants or koniakow & co. Nope. Just koniakow.com. Koniakaw is the actual name of the village in Poland.
How would you like it if you lived in a city and some website just up and usurped your town's name for its website so they could sell stuff?
Boston.com
But anyway, the city of Koniakaw really doesn't have anything to be ashamed of...(as long as you don't mind a healthy dosing of T&A). Because the styling and craftsmanship of their underpants would do any old Polish granny proud. $82 USD please:
Well.
Maybe not the G-strings.
