Rantings and Ravings.

Granny Panty Enthusiast.

There was a time in my life when I was a thong girl, a time when I looked down upon full-coverage underwear. They were Granny Panties for Grannies. There was way too much fabric, they had a tendency to bunch up, and they gave me visible panty-lines. But more than anything Granny Panties were unsexy. Let’s be honest, a thong says “I’m up for a shag”, full-coverage says “Leave me the fuck alone, I’m tired”. 

But as I glide away from my youth I have put comfort before looks and embraced the Granny Panty. My Granny Panties are not like my mothers. They are modern, they come in a variety of fun, youthful colors and they are made by Lulu Lemon and the Gap.  But they are similar to mummy’s in one regard – they are large and in-charge.

I love my flag-sized under-garments for I find that there is nothing more comfortable.  Whatever it was I previously objected to now seem to be the very reason for my being attracted to them.  Plenty of fabric, hence plenty of room and more absorbent than a thong (oh stop acting like that upset you!). Plus have you ever tried to gently treat a bad case of piles (or some equally despicable ailment) wearing a thong? No – you must have soft, non-invasive underwear for that type of thing.

And for all you Spanx devotees – if you think about it the GP was the pre-cursor to the all-encompassing, ‘slimming intimates’.  When pulled all the way up (just a few inches under the boob-line) the GP acts as a girdle – providing the wearer with a feeling of security, security that your stomach and ass are being held together in a big sling.  It’s nice to have this security as I gradually lose muscle tone in those areas.

The only time I hate my GPs are when I’m folding them in the laundry room and a male human walks in. It’s the only time I am ashamed of my GPs and wish I had something sexier that said “I am the mysterious woman from down thehall who wears lacey undies”, instead my GP says “My arse has fallen.”

Will my boobs be next?

    These little (or big) GP’s are my favorite and although I’ll still throw on a sexy little thong, I find when Aunt Flow comes to visit these are the comfiest things ever and still look a little sexy if worn with nothing else.
