Forget the G-string - can ANYONE wear |
 |
This is the stuff of nightmares. I am walking down the road pushing a buggy when I have to bend down to pick up a dropped toy.
A passing van driver leers at me and then beeps his horn. But it?s not because of my blonde hair: it?s because I look as if I forgot to put on any underwear that morning.
That?s what happens on my first day wearing the "C-String", a bad dream in underwear form. According the promotional blurb, it is "sexy, elegant and completely unique".
If you?re an ordinary-shaped person, that?s one out of three, and it ain?t the first two.
The C-string consists of the front part of a thong-style pair of knickers, held up with a little bit of wire at the back. The idea is that you pop it on, and it stays put. Think of an unevenly shaped wired headband, and you?re half-way there - the name derives from the C shape. Then imagine wearing it on your bottom.
The manufacturers suggest that you wear it with outfits that might show a panty line, or even as swimwear so that you don?t get tan lines across your bottom.
Personally, I would rather go to the beach wearing full ski-gear than wear a skimpy headband as a part of bikini bottoms. But then, after two children, I feel racy wearing a coloured bra.
However, I have agreed to road test the C-string for a week. I receive my consignment by post in a minute envelope. No extra postage needed on this item. Then I dangle the C-string thoughtfully from my finger. It doesn?t look big enough for a child?s bottom, never mind one belonging to a decent-sized woman.
My two-year-old son Archie wanders into the study and his eyes light up. "What?s that, Mummy?" he asks.
I?m momentarily stumped.
"It?s pants," I admit.
He giggles. "But where?s Noddy?" Ah. Most pants in our house have Noddy on them.
"There?s no room for Noddy to live," I explain.
He seems satisfied.
While the C-string consists of less material than a gnat?s handkerchief, it is not easy to get on being so springy and slight.
Once I have struggled into it I glance in the mirror and am horrified. You need the limbs of Elle Macpherson to carry this look off. |
