unmentionables worth mention

First, let me begin by saying that the bodacious bod, above, belongs to a model. No matter how much I love a deal on underwear, I draw the line at personally demonstrating its attributes here.

With housekeeping out of the way, I’m going to tell you that fans of the popular Hanky Panky panties (one pair of which costs $27—don’t get me started) will die for the knockoff “vikinis” I buy from Gilligan & O’Malley (3 pair for $12 at www.target.com). They are, quite simply, the best deal in the down-under department. Let me “briefly” elaborate:  If you’re not a thong person (more on that in a minute), you’ll appreciate the refreshing break from having to habitually tug at your backside; instead of slyly creeping up the derriere, these panties somehow (magically or technically–I haven’t quite figured it out yet) manage to stay put. What’s more, they’re comfortable…soft not scratchy, as lace can often be.

But back to the  thong thing: If you are so inclined, you’ll be happy to know that the Gilligans, just like Hanky Pankys, are also available in the stay-up-the-derriere style (3 pair for $12, instead of one pair for $18). And considering that we’re talking about something the size of a postage stamp (which costs only 44 cents), I’m thinking the trade-off is well worth it.

Dare I even ask for your own underwear travails? Elaborate with discretion, my friends….
