PRODUCT OF THE WEEK
We don't usually endorse products in the Salad Bowl, but we're going to make an exception for a new personal hygiene item that's Swiffering the nation: Nundies.
We got a packet of these things in the mail recently. They're an "alternative" to wearing drawers.
Gotta love the tulip shape. Very subtle.
4You Editrix Patty Kim models the available pantyless color palate.
Apparently Patty felt the need to deploy a "this is oh-so-scandalous" expression.
Among the benefits of utilizing these crotch liners:
Apparently the company is aiming their product at the segment of the buying population for whom underwear is too much of a barrier to ultimate friskiness.
The Nundies Web site describes the product thusly:
Women of the world unite! Are you embarrassed by tacky panty lines? Do you despise wearing uncomfortable thongs and g-strings? Do you dream of going "commando" without the discomfort of itchy clothing? Well, now you can say "So-long!" to your thong and "Bye-bye!" to your briefs, because women everywhere have a new lease on freedom.
Nundies is a new, fashion-solution product that promises to liberate women from the age-old constraints of femininity.
Nundies is a one-time use, disposable "panty" that adheres to the inseam inside of a woman's pants. This tulip-shaped "panty" is intended for use as an alternative to wearing traditional underwear.
Made from a nylon/lycra blend, Nundies are as soft as your conventional underwear, but they take up less space and don't leave embarrassing panty lines.
Elsewhere on the site, it states:
Fashionistas everywhere have a new lease on freedom. The just-released Nundies undies promise to be a fashion favorite of women, ages 15 to 50, and beyond.
Beyond? Beyond!?!?!?!?!
Ahem.
Time yet again to retrieve the Karen Silkwood psychological wire brush.
Even worse: the FAQ, which addresses such burning questions as ...
How do you apply Nundies?1. Take out a pair of pants or short. 2. Without wearing underwear, pull your pants half-way up. 3. Take out one Nundies and slowly peel off the bottom half of the liner. 4. Smooth the bottom half of the Nundies, sticky side down, onto the inside crotch of your pants in the desired location. (The tulips go in the front.) 5. Peel off the top half of the liner (with the petals) while smoothing down the rest of the Nundies onto your pants. 6. Zip up and you're done!
Nundies No-No?s?
Nundies should not be flushed. Please dispose of in a trash receptacle. Do not adhere Nundies to your skin. Do not wear a single Nundies for more than one day. Remove before washing or dry-cleaning garment. Nundies are not intended for use as sanitary napkins or for swimming. For external use only.
External use? You mean you can't just swallow two Nundies - make a Nundies burrito or Nundies cannoli , perhaps - and expect all-day freshness and genital protection?
Damn.
Maybe they'll work on this for Nundies 2.0.
