Disposable underwear a new low

Filed under: Fashion

I was browsing amongst the beautiful people in Georgetown over the weekend with a friend. Amid clothing items for $500 in Cusp and just as I was thinking the fashion world and capitalism couldn't get any crazier I came across Nundies. Disposable underwear. Not kidding. Think super, ultra, extra thin maxi pad that you stick to your pants instead of your washable underwear.

Here's the marketing shtick: Nundies are a one-time use, pantyless panty that adhere to the inside inseam of a woman's pants. Nundies are a great fashion solution product for women who want to go bare-down-there without the discomfort of itchy clothing. Nundies also save women from the embarrassment of tacky panty lines and from having to wear uncomfortable thongs.

LOL.

They retail five (um, well, I can't say pairs, but anyway) for $15. That's enough to buy a nice whole organic chicken. OK, maybe that's off track. How about two jugs of Seventh Generation laundry detergent to wash your underwear in? Or a few pairs of underwear from Target that you can wash hundreds of times in that detergent? Or you can just leave the darn $15 in your pocket for crying out loud.

People are always looking to rain on someone elses party. Disposible undies are a wonderful concept. I know one of the gentleman that birthed the idea of disposible panties some 8 years ago. The idea was designed for those brave troops overseas. They haven't the convenience of doing laundry as often as us at home base. Now, to sell to the general public to accomodate their laziness and help create more waste, why?

This just shows that if you make it disposable people will buy it. It's just so unnecessary.

How does this show that exactly? Are there sales numbers here that I am not seeing? Yes, this is an idiotic, wasteful idea, but your comment is groundless, and in the end, pointless.

Hey, remember when paper dresses were all the rage in the 60's? Not too terribly farfetched, is it?

they have this already - it's called a pantie liner.....

I thought it was: come up with a "better" mouse-trap, not the same trap w/a different name...

Why does ANYONE give a rat's tail about rich people who shop at fancy-schmancy places where they sell 'stuff' (items not specified and who the heck knows what 'CUSP' is anyway - another WalMart?) for $500? Disposable sanitary liners? What's easier, carrying a bag to use to discard your used sanitary liners in a trash can or maybe being able to flush the used liner down the commode (the story didn't specify how to get rid of the used one so I can only guess)? I don't think it's a BAD idea but them I am male and don't have to deal with 'THAT' problem. More power to women who come up with ideas to make their lives easier. We men (unfortunately and unintentionally) make their lives difficult enough.

The concept itself is not bad as long as it isn't used over and over. I personally don't like Customs going through my dirty undies when coming back from another country. To use all of the time and at home is ridiculous though.

They're made from Nylon & Lycra, how disposable is that? And at $15 for 5, you can go to Victoria's Secret when they have a sale and get 5 pair of pretty panties that will last a lot longer.

Lori, If your underwear gets that "dirty" I would suggest changing it daily or going to a doctor....you may have a disease.

daisy said...

I want none nundies. Give me a gret pair of spanx or victoria secrets's second satin thongs to wear..both are comfortable and non-disposable.

I buy most of my stuff at an online shopping
mall that gives me between 5-55% back in cash on all my purchases. There are over 1000 stores including Bare Necessities (which has great panties..cheap!), Sephora, Apple, The Gap, Target (great for soo much), Macy's. I also wait for sales so I get my cash back and the lowest price
http://www.dailyoink.com The site is ugly, but well worth it.
