Let's get one thing straight: I hate the word "panty." I don't use it, you shouldn't use it either.

However, the alternatives aren't much better. There's "underpants" (if you're under the age of 6), "underwear" (if you're into gender-neutral terms), "knickers" (if you're British), or "dainties" (if you want to use my preferred moniker).

Anywho, now is the time to get your dainties in that proverbial bunch because BareNecessities.com is holding a Buy Three, Get One Free sale. You can mix and match over 400 styles of thongs, boy-shorts and briefs. BareNecessities.com also sells a few of my favorite brands, like Cosabella, Hanro, Chantelle and Commando.

Now tell me, what could be better than free dainties? A moratorium on the word 'panties'? Perhaps.
