Look for Less! Cute & Comfy Panties!

20 Aug

Every woman loves a pair of cute and comfortable panties and it’s an added bonus when they don’t break the bank. I have always loved all lace thongs because let’s face it-some thongs can be uncomfortable when they should feel like they’re barely there. The material plays a big part in it, soft lace accomplishes the comfort goal, that’s for sure. I found the perfect lace thong many years ago at Nordstrom. The brand is called Hanky Panky- they come in a variety of colors and fit like a glove. The only drawback is that they’re $18-$25 EACH! Even if you can afford that price, they can still add up quickly when you’re stocking up. And for a lot of women on a budget, they can’t afford that price at all. That is where my look for less comes into play- I discovered the cutest, comfortable and AFFORDABLE lace thong panties at Target.  They come in 9 different colors and fit the same as Hanky Panky, but the price is unbelievable! Even At full price they are only $5 each, but you can catch them on sale a few times a year for $20 for 5 pairs or even $24 for 7 pairs. They are currently $20 for 5, which is $4 a pair. I highly suggest you stock up now! At this price, you really can buy every color!

Another bonus for the Target panties is that they come in sizes XS-XL.
