Why Editors Can’t Quit Their ‘Ugly’ Underwear – The Surprising Truth Behind Our Most Trusted Comforts

Ever caught yourself wondering if comfort should trump sex appeal when it comes to underwear? Well, buckle up — because about ten years ago, at a Duran Duran concert (yes, really), I witnessed a fashion mystery that still haunts me: a woman rocking ultra low-rise, side-lace-up pants paired with the most massive granny panties you’ve ever seen. At the time, it baffled me. Now, post-lockdown and in my 53rd year, I’ve flipped the script. Those mega high-waist undies? They might just be the softest, most divine everyday choice for wearing under jeans or leggings. No, they don’t exactly scream “sexy,” but man, that wide waistband is a game changer. Is it possible that the secret to ultimate comfort lies in abandoning sexy for practical? Let’s dive into this unspoken truth about the humble yet mighty granny panty. LEARN MORE

“About a decade ago, I went to a Duran Duran concert (stay with me … this is undies-related). The middle-aged screaming woman contingent was in full force, but I’ll never forget one woman in particular, who was in very low-rise, side-lace-up pants … worn with the biggest pair of granny panties I’d ever seen. I’m still perplexed by the decision to pair those garments together, but now, in my post-lockdown, 53-year-old existence, I’m no longer flummoxed by the panties themselves. Even calling these mega-high waisters ‘panties’ feels wrong. But I kid you not, they are the most comfortable underwear I’ve ever owned — so soft, a good weight, and that wide upper band rocks my (under)world. No, I don’t feel an ounce of sex appeal in them, but for everyday wear under jeans or leggings, they are top-notch.” — Kris Scott, Commerce Editor
