Granny panties save the day!

You know those super huge, ugly (but oh-so-comfy) underpants otherwise known as "granny panties"? Well, while they might kill your sex drive, a powder blue pair of granny panties and a quick thinking boy saved a woman's kitchen.

When a pair of British cousins tried to make a bite for supper, their meal went up in flames that threatened to torch the kitchen.

One boy quickly grabbed an item from the nearby laundry basket: a pair of XL powder blue woman's underpants. Running the undies under water and throwing it on the flames successful averted disaster, although the unmentionables were destroyed.

"It could have been a lot worse," the woman said. "My family could have been in hospital but the knickers saved the day. I'm just grateful to the boys.

Three cheers for the granny panty, a thong in this situation would have been disastrous!

Ahem. I don't know of any man that had a problem with granny panties being a barrier to his libido. Unless there was his granny in the panties.

Granny panties may be good to put our fires, but that is all they are good for Give me my SPANKX any day of the week!

I love spanx and wear them always...it gives a great line under
clothing.

any woman that wears granny panties does not want to turn their man on. Most men would have that view. Unless the couple undresses in the dark.

Are they sure that this really didn't happen in Kansas????

I like cotton underpants! I'm petite and buy the full cut hip hugger style. They come up to my belly button because my torso is short. Ms.Spanx lady, you must get an awful lot of chafing. I'd rather be comfy in cotton!

In North Carolina they are called step-ins.

I like the new boy shorts better than the Granny style. They are just as comfortable and no lines...I agree, cotton is the only way to go...

Thank goodness for coverage underwear. I spend a childhood pulling underwear out of the crack of my ass, why on earth would I want to put a piece of fabric up it now???

You'd think they could have found a picture of some actual granny panties to accompany this story. Those are high-cuts. True granny panties aren't cut that high on the outside of the thigh. Just an observation...

I'm a granny but don't wear granny panties :)

mer 1-06-2008 @ 10:23PM

Cute story. Some of the bloggers are under the misconception that any of us care what type undergarment they wear, though.

Barbaba 1-06-2008 @ 10:28PM

My Husband calls them B.A.D's..Big Ass Drawers !!! (lol)

I am not a granny., but i wear grany panties exclusively! They are satin and lacey and quite sexy/ It is not the underwear that matters; it is the body that is in it that counts.

tsgreatpapa 1-06-2008 @ 10:35PM

How about Blommers
Thats what they were called when I was a Kid

alicia 1-07-2008 @ 8:38PM

Very cute story:

I personally wear boy shorts, but if granny panties are your thing, it's comfort that counts..and cotton is the way to go..

Only skanks and ancient dried out women wear granny panties. No guy likes that crap.

Back in my mid twenties I tore the clothes off some sweet young thing at my place and she was wearing those giant things. I made so much fun of her she burst into tears. She called me a week later and said she spent 300 bucks at Victoria's Secret on cool lookin' underwear.

I have always been at the forefront of empowerment for women.
