Panty Test

My last post was about a sort of panty test. Carrying a golf bag up and down hills in 100 plus temperatures will make you pant. I commented to my golf partner Special Ed that if we had brought my beloved to the course we would have had to call an ambulance to haul her off after about seven holes. The girl can’t handle the heat. It addles her brain. Once we spent a weekend in San Francisco during a record heat wave. It was 100 degrees. She kept mumbling, “Call me a cab.” “Call me a cab,” has become a sort of code phrase for “it’s too damn hot.” This week is definitely brain addling, call-me-a-cab kind of weather. The windows and doors are shut to try and capture that overnight low of 75 degrees. The fans are turning. We are sitting around in our undies trying to keep our core temperatures from rising, me kind of enjoying the nakedness of it all; Linda appearing borderline suicidal. Thankfully, as her misery was beginning to build, she received an email from a company called Barely There, a purveyor of women’s undergarments. Barely There has invented a new panty and was looking for 300 gals to test them out. The incentives were quite attractive. Two pairs of panties which are to be worn for three weeks. You have to commit to washing them twice a week. If you then submit an on line review Barely There will send you a $10 gift certificate to Starbucks. And, you get to keep those panties. During this beta testing period Barely There will be in contact with Linda, monitoring her progress with the panties. She had to fill out a questionnaire which asked certain pertinent questions such as: How big is your butt, anyway?
Linda is a long time user of Barely There and had previously written to them requesting information. They apparently kept her name on file. Normally, she wears the model  2803 , a microfiber solid brief.  The conservatism of this particular undergarment will surprise some who might expect her to be more bikiniish. Nope. It’s pretty much granny pants when the flashy outside stuff comes off. The fact is that neither of us can understand the thong undie syndrome or that speedo look in men’s underwear. I recently quit horsing around with my own undergarments, tossed out Jockeys, Haines and other brands and went back to my beloved JC Penny Stafford full cut 100% cotton briefs which definitely have a grandpa ambiance. But enough about me. The Barely There panty test has electrified the atmosphere here. Heat notwithstanding, the excitement is palpable. Only 300 selected. You had to “qualify.” They  used the word “qualify” four times in their email. She qualified. She was accepted for the panty test. Huzah! Hoorah! It’s hot, hot, hot. But those free panties are on their way.

I love Barely There undies...but sadly, are the Stafford full cut briefs no longer available? What's the world coming to when you have to send your love one out to work having to wear twisted underwear in an already twisted world?
