The Look For Less: Steve Alan Tartan Ruffled Panty

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 14:00:12 PDT

Here's my motto: why wear blah underwear when there are so many interesting things out there? True, not many people see what goes on underneath it all...but you never know! We thought this Steve Alan Tartan Ruffled Panty was Fabworthy and most of you agreed. Thirty dollars won't break your bank, but why pay more when you can pay less?

To see the look for less,

Thanks to our Fab reader baciobisou, who gave us the lead, we can buy the plaid panties for a fraction of the price! This Forever 21 Plaid Boyshort, $4, is so similar, blink and you might mistake it for the real deal.

Simply Fab: C-String Invisible Underwear

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 10:35:33 PDT

We've all heard of G-Strings....but C-Strings? Yup! Just when we thought every kind of panty had already been invented, they come out with this C-String Invisible Underwear, $21.

Before you freak out, give me a minute to explain the photo on your right. Instead of having to deal with annoying underwear lines, this C-String provides coverage without the panty straps. You can even wear it in a tanning bed (tisk) and you won't get tan lines!

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Here's how it stays: C-String has a flexible internal frame that hugs and holds it to your body. At the front it looks like a normal sexy underwear and to the rear it has a thong-style strip.

To learn more, watch a video about the C-String.

VOTE: Do You Own A Pair Of Granny Panties?

GiggleSugar — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 12:38:46 PDT

Is Victoria keeping her newest line of lingerie a secret because she's embarrassed by it? Or is this spoof simply pointing out the obvious, namely, that in addition to the lacy, frilly, barely-there underwear we own, many women also have a pair of über-unsexy granny panties stashed away somewhere. You know what I'm talking about: those high-waisted, white undies with a full-booty fit that are only worn when no one's looking. 'Fess up folks: do you own a pair of granny panties?

OnSugar Blog: If the World Revolved Around Families . . .

OnSugar Blog — Mon, 07 May 2012 03:16:38 PDT

Lots of moms like to think out loud, and Jo Aaron is one of them. Here is one of the latest posts to her Mommy Brain blog.

While innocently looking for a restaurant suggestion online the other day, I stumbled across an anti-parent, anti-child blog entry that just annoyed me. It was an angry (and narrow-minded, in my opinion) piece about how awful it is when this particular person has to dine with families at his favorite restaurants. He/she literally suggested that families shouldn't be allowed to dine in restaurants at all, and most definitely not the ones that are any good.

Here are my guesses:

#1, this person is somewhere between 21-26.

#2, this person will have a completely different blog in about 5-10 years when he/she has kids of his/her own and realizes that going out for dinner is like parental heroin . . . you know, your fix is having someone else prepare and clean up your meal while all you have to do is watch the kids and make sure they don't drive the other patrons nuts. Because that's the easy part. Right.

So, while I get that I shouldn't be carting my kids off to the Pump Room for a 9PM Saturday night reservation, I don't think it's such a crime to have them enjoy a 5:30PM reservation at a local haunt regardless of how cool and trendy it is this week. Instead of digitally flicking this guy or gal off by replying to his/her post, instead I thought I'd make a list of all of the ways that the world would be a better place for those of us with kids . . . maybe this will drive it home:

If the world revolved around families, there would be no such thing as lines at the grocery store. Instead of spending 15 minutes telling our kids to stop touching everything in the checkout line, like candy, magazines, or batteries, we'd just breeze through the aisles, yell our credit card numbers out to the teller as we beelined to our cars. No fuss, no muss.
If the world revolved around families, there would be a Starbucks with dozens of drive-thru windows and on-duty baristas somewhere between my house and school.
If the world revolved around families, there would be TVs with DVD players and current Disney movies playing in every waiting room in the United States. This includes all airport terminals as well. And speaking of airports...
If the world revolved around families, there would be such a thing as teleportation like on Star Trek (yes, I'm a nerd), so that families would never, never, never, ever have to deal with air travel at all.
If the world revolved around families, no one with kids would ever have to go to the DMV, post office, or emergency room.

12 Absolutely Hilarious, but Absorbent Undies For Pets

PetSugar — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 11:00:59 PDT

My inner child can barely say the word "panties" without cracking a smile and I definitely can't look at this picture without a chuckle. If you're about to wet yourself already - sorry, couldn't help it - then you don't want to resist checking out this line of absorbent undies for pets in a variety of sizes and fabrics ($20 – $35) with your dog's fit and fashion sense in mind.

I'm also not kidding when I say the Pants for Dogs' offerings include panties, thongs, jumpers, and cummerbunds but I still have plenty of clever captions for puppy photo shoot so see if I can make you giggle, too!

21 Disposable Products You Can Reuse

Wise Bread — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:00:39 PDT

Even when the product is supposedly "disposable," you can always reuse it. Wise Bread shares awesome ways to reuse these 21 disposable products.

It’s said that we live in a disposable society. But the word "disposable" is a misnomer. Disposable is considered throwaway, something you use once and dump, regardless of the life that may be left in it. As a frugal shopper with a concern for the state of our environment, I think that just won’t do.

I often reuse many so-called “onetime-use” items, and I asked friends, family, and colleagues to tell me which disposable items they squeeze more life from. Here’s my list, including some of the surprising ideas I was given.

1. Butter Wrappers

If you’re like most people, you unwrap your butter, pop the stick into your handy holder, and throw the wrapper away. But wait a second - instead of trashing the wrappers, keep them in a sandwich bag. The next time you need to grease a baking tray or dish, you’ve got something all ready to go.

The Surprising Billionaire: 8 Interesting Facts About the Creator of Spanx

Emily Co — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 00:15:07 PST

Spanx is a word that most women are familiar with. It's a type of shapewear that helps to smooth away lumps and bumps and also leaves no trace of a panty line. The creator of this product, Sara Blakely, has been inducted to this year's Forbes billionaires list, which was released yesterday. Spanx, an international undergarment company, is worth an estimated $1 billion. Here are a couple of interesting facts about her from a Forbes feature:

She learned how to write her own patent from reading a Barnes and Noble book and she saved $3,000 in legal costs.
She worked at Disney World for three months and spent eight-hour days buckling customers into a ride.
She's the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world.
She has never spent money on advertising.
She owns 100 percent of the company.
She went from just having $5,000 in savings when she was 29 to owning a billion-dollar company at the age of 41 today.
She has her eccentric moments, and her husband describes her as "50 percent Lucille Ball, 50 percent Einstein." Some of her goofiest moments include wearing a boot on one foot and a Christian Louboutin heel on the other in Bloomingdale's, and wearing stretchable candy necklaces and bracelets (bought from a nearby candy store) to the Screen Actors Guild Awards because she left her jewelry at the hotel.
She witnessed a car run over her best friend when she was only 16, and facing mortality at such a young age has driven her. "I think that when you witness death at age 16, there's a sense of urgency about life," Blakely says. "The thought of my mortality - I think about it a lot. I find it motivating. It can be any time that your number's up."

Zobha Yoga Panties Have You Covered

Susi May — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:54:01 PST

When it comes to working out, I sometimes suffer from the panty conundrum: basically to wear or not to wear undies under my leggings or shorts. I have learned that this answer varies from workout to workout. The authors of Run Like a Mother ask: why wear nonwicking cotton drawers under your running shorts with a wicking liner? But for yoga, Pilates, and strength training it's another story where you sometimes find yourself in compromising positions, like Plow pose, for instance.

Zobha, maker of quality yoga and Pilates wear, has come up with the perfect panty solution for these types of workout. The brand's laser-cut thongs ($16) and boy shorts ($18) provide the coverage you want without VPL (visible panty lines). Both seamless styles are made from wicking fabric but feature a cotton gusset for comfort. These undies stay in place during all sorts of movement too. I have found it best to hand wash these garments. Since these panties are on the pricier side, it's helpful that they do dry quickly making one pair enough if you work out regularly.

I prefer the boy shorts for strength training and the even more discreet thong for yoga. Stretch and lift with no apprehension - these panties have you covered. The boy short and the thong are also available in the more adventurous colors - hot pink and aqua. Find them online at Zobha.
