Natalie Thomas: Are You a Rachael or a Martha?
Granny panties save the day!
Filed under: Activities: Babies, In The News, Weird But True
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!

IVAN NEGRON said...Nothing is wrong with granny panties. That's how everybody met women for the first time, wearing those beauties. They symbolize womanhood, femeninity, gusto, taste. Bikinies are mostly for girls, bimbos, hookers.. So are thongs. Besides, women look delicious in grannies.

Mira said...I don't get thongs. Imagine something stuck in your crack for a day and how it would smell.Or leaving a string of floss in your teeth, how comfortable is that. Not to mention other things..... Yes, some girls look awesome in them, you got to have the body for that. But I have seen a few at the tanning salon....:Give me granny panties anyday and make them red for New Years for good luck, lol.

LeeAnn said...Excuse me Gents, but aren't "Mens Briefs aka Tidy Whities" very similar to the so called "Granny Panty"? If we can tolerate you wearing yours, then you can certainly tolerate women wearing theirs?
Thongs are nothing more than a string that gets stuck inbetween someones crack whether they are a petite Size 2 or a 22!!!!!
It is also a FACT that cotton underwear is the best to wear as it is a natural fabric and breathes. The worst thing anyone can wear are fabric blends or nylon. They may be decorative etc, but a Gynecologist Dream for infections. SO Men, if you love your Lady and want her to be healthy and happy, stop snickering and referring to Ladies Briefs as Granny Panties. Hey, you may even get luckier than you thought!!!!

Jossy said...oh heck, all women should know that cotton is the best due to it being absorbant and much cooler than what the skimpy stuff is made from. that crap only lasts a few washings and the elastic is shot, it gets runs in it like nylon stockings do, and yes, they creep up on ya. i'll never be a granny, never had kids, but i like jockey's brand for woman. come in pretty colors, elastic doesn't die within two months, they don't creep...or get baggy. fruit of the loom falls apart and so does hanes for women. i used to wear the slippery fancy ones but it cost so much to keep replacing them so often. got tired of spending so much time in the pantie section of a store just to know i'd be back again soon for more. at least a pair of cotton drawers can be run under water and used to douse a small fire...use a pair made out of that slippery crap and it's like tossing diesel onto the fire. plus, it isn't what's inside the panties that count, it's what's inside the brain that's in the panties that counts. so there!

tomlinsonjk said...Carol....try Target, Walmart or JCPenney. These panties are getting harder and harder to find. Be sure you get the ones with elastic in the leg openings or they won't be as comfortable.
Great story. I needed a laugh.
