Are You Pulling Your Panties up Too High?
May 12, 2011
My 14 year old daughter walked into my office last night and complained that the cute White Saki boyshorts I had bought for her were giving her a "wedgie." With that, she pivoted around and hoisted up her skirt for a look/see.
Immediately I knew what the problem was. It wasn’t the panties’ fault; she had simply pulled them up too high. Those cute boyshorts were not cut to rest above your hip-bone, but rather they are low-rise and should rest just above the cheeks in back. A quick southern adjustment and a fluff to her skirt and she was out the door.
I don’t think my daughter is unique. I for one have done this with first-time panties. It’s a natural instinct I think, born from an early age when our panties were full briefs. In fact, this was the initial issue with women and thongs. When they first became popular back in the 1990′s early adopters complained that wearing a thong was like wearing floss. The truth is that thongs were never meant to be pulled up to the hips.
The next time you try on a pair of panties and feel they are too tight in the rise, re-fit them an inch or two down your torso. Chances are they will then fit just fine.

2010 Undie Award Winners Are In!
June 12, 2010
With over 30,000 votes cast, the Undie Awards for men and women’s underwear are in. For the 4th year, men and women have voted on their favorite styles which we present along with our Select winners. Select winners are staff picks which highlight smaller brands or up-and-coming styles. For the 1st time, a raceback bra, Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Flexi Back Front Close, won favorite overall bra for average figures. In another surprise, a brief–Bali Skimp Skamp Brief 2633, which was 2008′s favorite brief–won for best overall panty. So here they are–this year’s winners.
This year’s overall winning bra for the average figure is Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Flexi Back Front Close, Racerback Bra 75263. Everyone agrees that that the seamless cups are invisible under clothing and that the raceback design provides great support.
This year’s overall winning bra for full figure is Goddess’s Keira Banded Underwire Bra 6090. Customers love how comfortable it is along with its perfect fit. This bra is designed for maximum support and comes in sizes 36DD-46N.
One of our best sellers, and the 2008 winner for best brief, Bali Skimp Skamp Brief 2633, is this year’s overall favorite panty. With its great fit and generous coverage, this is Bali’s best-selling panty in the US.
The 2010 overall winner for shapewear, Flexees Fat Free Dressing Tank Top 3266, does double duty as both outerware and shapewear. Wear it as a tank top while the hidden liner smoothes and shapes the tummy.
In the voting for men’s favorites, the 2010 Undie Award winner for best boxer is making its second appearance as the top choice. Calvin Klein’s Slim Fit Woven Boxer U1513 is slim-fitting without the excess fabric of some boxers. But it doesn’t cling like boxer briefs. Voters love the soft cotton fabric too.
You can see all of the 2010 Undie Award winners and Select winners for both men and women by visiting The Undies. And it’s never too early to vote for your faves for 2011.

It’s Time for the 2010 Undie Awards!
April 13, 2010
We vote for our favorite celebs, fave YouTube videos, even commercials…why not for the one thing we wear (or most of us wear) each and every day? That’s right—our undies. Since 2007, over 100,000 votes have come in for favorite bras, panties, shapewear and men’s underwear. It’s easy to make your opinion known–just go the The Undies site and have at it.
Why should you use 5 minutes of your busy day to vote in the Undies?
Well, for starters, once you vote, you’ll get 10% off any order at HerRoom and HisRoom.
For another thing, your votes show manufacturers what we like, what we don’t like and what we want more of. By casting your vote, you’re saying ‘here’s what works, here’s what doesn’t work.’ You’re not just a voter, you’re a style-maker.
And–your opinions help other people decide what to buy. When confronted with hundreds of styles in dozens of sizes, bra-buying especially, can be daunting. By voting for your favorites, you become a valued resource for shoppers. Doesn’t that feel like a good deed?
So, save money, dictate style and help other shoppers–surely that’s worth a few minutes of time. Start at the Undies website or go right to the voting. Women vote here, men– Undies voting is right this way.
