The Three Tomatoes pretty much live by the “hey it’s your life, live it the way you want” philosophy.
Far be it from us to pass judgement. Except when it comes to visible panty lines, which is why we want you to know about
Hanky Panky thong underwear. Until we discovered Hanky Panky, there were basically only four
ways to avoid the panty line faux pas: 1) wear a body smoother; 2) wear panty
hose; 3) go au naturale; or 4) wear the dreaded thong! (Of course, you could
avoid all the above and just wear baggy clothes the rest of your life too.)
While the Hanky Panky brand has actually been around for several years, lately
everyone from the fashion mags to the Wall Street Journal are raving about these lacey little numbers known as style # 4811 that sell for $18 each! The claims touting them as sexy, comfortable, and one
size fit all seemed like contradictions, so the tomatoes put them to the test.
Here’s what we found.
Made of stretch lace, they do indeed fit tomatoes of all shapes and sizes. But,
the tomatoes who are not thong wearers, couldn’t wait to rip them off. The thong
wearing tomatoes, however, love Hanky Panky! You can wear them all day and into
the evening without once doing the wedgie dance. And they come in the most glorious
array of colors. Worth the price? If you're a thong wearer, yes. If you're not
a thong wearer, they'd have to pay you.
Beware: they also make a low-rise version that are not very tomato friendly,
so consider the 4811 if you’re thonging it.
Who's behind Hanky Panky?
We know you're hoping Hugh Grant, but we're actually talking about the company.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Hanky Panky operates out of a Manhattan
loft and was founded by Gale Epstein and Lida Orzeck, college friends from the
sixties. They sound like tomatoes to us!

You know you're a tomato if...you buy sexy lingerie because it makes YOU feel good. And hey, if Hugh Grant
ever ravishes us on the spur on the moment, damned if we'll have a humiliating
Bridget Jones granny underwear moment.
And you're definitely a tomato if...the first time you wore a garter belt and stockings was because they hadn't
invented panty hose.

You can find Hanky Panky in the lingerie departments of most major department
stores. But our favorite place is a delightful little lingerie shop located
in Grand Central called The Pink Slip. Pink Slip owner Margo is a lovely women and if you buy four pairs of Hanky
Panky you get a fifth pair for free. So next time you’re picking up cheese and
wine from the Grand Central Market, bring home a little Hanky Panky too. You can also shop online at www.thepinkslip.com.
