HOP Review: "Boy Short" Style Underwear*
You’ve seen the pictures on the models and wondered “why? Why make “boy-short” underwear? And you’ve also wondered “What is the point?” And then you saw them in sales flyers and on Giselle and thought maybe you should get some yourself. It’s how every evil trend started, isn’t it?
I’m here to save you the time, money, and personal shame. Boy shorts suck. That’s why they’re FOR BOYS. Contrary to their well-marketed image, they are not slimming, nor are they chic. They are like granny panties with legs. They aren’t even useful, like Spanx. So put that catalog down, back away from the panty pile at Victoria’s Secret, and stick with your thong or your vanishing edge panty, because boy shorts will only make you hate your thighs even more.
It’s me, KTP, saving womankind, one panty at a time.
*They do NOT look like this on me. They do NOT look like this on human women unless those human women are like this model – starving and airbrushed and squatting like she really has to pee. Trust me.

Also? They ride up and give you a perma-wedge the minute you put them on.
I consider the boy-short underwear the very first item of fashion aimed solely at lesbians. I’m a fan.
Seriously, funny. I love your comment that they only look like that on the starving, airbrushed model needing to pee. Comedy
Katie, what about Crocs? All other fans are collateral.
What about the boy short underwear without little legs? I like those! (Are those granny panties? Oh no!)
Have you ever worn Crocs? Crocs have the ability to transcend all boundaries… (cue dramatic music)
A girlfriend and I were just talking about this very subject. Boy shorts don’t look good on anyone. Why they would make a boy short bathing suit bottom in a size 16 with horizontal stripes is mystifying.
My sister actually loves them, but she has no but. I bought one pair, they don’t cover by bubble butt, and ride up in front and cut in my, hip/thigh area. I am with you, KTP!

I agree. I had one pair and they did give me the perma-wedgie Kelli referred to.
I love these reviews. Keep em coming!
