Pretty panties

April 19, 2011

OK, this cute little lacy number here? Does more than you may realize.

Developed by Canadian Wendy Spencer, these Stride Everyday panties ($24.99, available at Shoppers Drug Mart) feature an absorbent, microfibre-lined gusset to help with any “light leaks” (yes, I’m talking about pee, people).

No, it’s not a pretty topic, but it happens and these machine-washable underpinnings may be just what you’re looking for (think nice undies with built-in pantyliner, if you will). Wendy, a marathon runner, discovered the “joys” of stress incontinence after starting to run again after the birth of her son.

And while I’d admit that when I first heard about the product, I immediately thought of David Sedaris’s experience using the Stadium Pal–thankfully these thongs and panties are way more girly and discreet.
