Those kids are awesome. They're only 13 years old!

I think jyyanks' reaction most closely parallels mine. I'm not proud of it, but the conditioning has apparently worked on me.

But here's the other thing. Those panties are already starting to ride up her crack, and I'm going to assume that she hasn't been walking around for an hour without an adjustment before they took that shot. The photo is proof that those panties are neither flattering nor comfortable on a slender, fit, REAL woman. How is this advertising???? They should just ditch that style and make something different.

Those are the kind of panties I keep for when I don't plan on wearing them for very long.

I admit, my reaction was much like many of you....first negative, then "well ok, what's so wrong with a real butt?! ". I think my butt actually looks very similar to that photo - muscular with some cellulite on top. It's no model butt but it's MY butt and it's normal. And my husband likes it so why shouldn't I?! Thank you for reminding me to be more accepting of reality!

BTW, The ESPN athletes have amazing bodies but I just don't have the time or motivation to work quite that hard so I'll accept my avg body!

I don't know; the underpants look just like the Hanky Panky brand I wear. Super comfortable, one size fits almost all, and of course they center on your crack, that way, they aren't showing through your clothes.
I guess I'm the only old lady who wears thongs.

Nope, I do too. And the Hanky Panky brand are the best ones out there!
