Why does sexy so often have to be uncomfortable? Why are we wriggling into Spanx and then pouring ourselves into tiny outfits in the name of looking sexy? Sometimes, it feels like there are only two points on the spectrum: giant T-shirts, or the modern equivalent of whalebone corsetry, and why can't there be a happy medium? Especially when it comes to our underwear.

Toss the granny panties, and please, for the love of all that's holy, pluck that string out of your ass, and get your commando butt to Target to pick up a handful of Gilligan & O'Malley Lace Boy Shorts. Completely comfortable, no panty lines, and a cut so ridiculously flattering in such incredibly sexy lace that you'll feel so very damn fine, even if today's the kind of day you want to wear a giant T-shirt. --Anne
