These days, they’re hotter than thongs.

10 Reasons Why Granny Panties Aren’t Just for Laundry Day

10 Reasons Why Granny Panties Aren’t Just for Laundry Day

Ladies, let’s be real for a minute. Thongs are kind of the worst. We’ve all had those moments where we’ve ducked into a corner to take care of a serious wedgie situation. But what’s the alternative? Granny panties? Well, it just might be. The New York Times released a piece yesterday about the underwear millennials are really wearing. They report, “Sales of thongs decreased 7 percent over the last year, while sales of fuller styles — briefs, boy shorts and high-waist briefs — have grown a collective 17 percent.” Has everyone secretly been wearing granny panties this whole time? It’s looking that way. But hey, full-bottomed underwear doesn’t have to be a guilty pleasure. Here are seven granny panties that will have you only wanting to wear thongs on your feet.


1. The Lacy Brief ($36-48): If you’ve yet to experience the comfort and practicality of Dear Kate’s underwear, now’s the time. The Lucy Brief offers a sexy, satin panel while also incorporating the brand’s revolutionary, patent-pending fabric that’s built to wick away sweat and prevent stains.

2. Cheetah Printed High-Waist Brief ($32): Still think granny panties can’t be sexy?

3. Pug and Daisy Briefs ($8): Because what’s really better than dogs and flowers?

4. No-Show Sexy Cheeky Panty ($13): To avoid the dreaded panty line, grab a pair of these no-show Victoria’s Secret panties complete with no-slide edges that stay in place all day.

5. Casablanca Panty ($81): If you’re looking for some serious lingerie, here’s a surefire way to pull off the trend in a totally sexy way.

6. Varsity Striped Boyshort ($6): Sporty Spice, is that you?

7. 3-pack Cotton Hipster Briefs ($10): Because basics don’t have to be boring.

8. 7-Day Underwear Pack ($40): ’70s style FTW.

9. Underella Wildflower Lace Hipsters ($34): Spring has officially arrived.

10. Everly Lace Cheeky Boyshort ($8): If you’re not super sold on the granny panty style, rock this lacey, purple pair that’s kind of a mix between a brief and a thong.
