GRANNY KNICKERS




Around two years ago I bought my very first pair of highwaisted undies (the largest Granny Knickers you could possible imagine) as a dance costume requirement. In my mind I was thinking ‘oh my god, how embarrassing!! These are huge! I hope no one ever sees these’. Little did I know that what I thought would be a one night stand turned into a long and beautiful relationship. Annoying waist band lines – GONE. Stomach Bulges – Gone. Comfort like id never experienced before.

I was recently on a trip around Europe with a large group of people I had never met before. Of course being the nervous and awkward person I am I felt embarrassed changing in front of them as they might comment on how utterly humungous my underwear was. It wasn’t until one day when one of the girls came in super confident showing off her super large underwear that I thought ‘IM NOT THE ONLY ONE’.

Why should we be uncomfortable in fancy g-strings or tiny panties all day just because someone once told us thats what we were supposed to wear to feel sexy? Id rather be comfortable and not have to worry about the giant wedgie I would be guaranteed to experience if I had chosen a smaller under garment. Feeling sexy should be all about comfort and confidence. And if you are confident enough you can pull of any look or amount of sexiness.



Lots of designers, including Burberry Prorsum and Proenza Schouler have been embracing the highwaisted underwear trend even making it a focus point in some of their pieces. This look has also been seen on the red carpet in lots of different ways which proves more and more women are finally giving up on the tiny underwear and adopting a new way of life. A comfortable way of life! Take it from me. I should know!
