Classics Spotlight: Hanes Women's Nylon Brief Panties

Today's post is a Classics Spotlight. This is a new reoccurring feature that will showcase panties that are especially notable, panties that have stood the test of time, panties that come to define the word "panty" by their example. I will highlight the archetypal panties that have had the most influence on me: from dependable go-to daily wear to extravagant guilty pleasures.

These are the panties we come back to, time and time again. 


Hane's Women's Nylon Brief Panties

Hane's Women's Nylon Brief Hi-Cut Panties

The Hanes Nylon Brief is as classic as it comes. No other panty could take the top slot in the first edition of Classics Spotlight. The leg bands are trimmed with soft, shimmery lace. The waistband offers a generous inch-or-so of a beautiful scalloped lace trim, which will threaten to peek out of the back of your jeans if you bend too carelessly. You'll find these undies in every possible color and print, including some loud, bright, primary colors, in both full brief and hi-cut styles.

This is the original nylon fabric, people. Today we can find underwear made from all kinds of microfiber, each with unique thread counts and handfeel, but this nylon fabric is the originator of it all. You can proudly say that your grandmother probably wore these panties.

Hane's Women's Nylon Brief Panties. Full coverage, no compromises.

When you step into these soft, slippery briefs, the first thing you'll notice is that the fabric is cool to the touch as you pull it up around your waist. The waistband sits high, encircling you with a belt of unmistakably feminine lace. The rear of the brief cups and fully swaddles your butt in this thin, silky, sheer fabric. No worries about space in the front, here. The nylon stretches and gives as it caresses and glides over your body.

The panties are so outre they startle the senses. It balances on the edge of "too much"-- I know many respectable panty-wearing men that would blush at the suggestion of such "granny panties"-- but me, I'm hopelessly sucked in by the feminine allure of these outrageous bloomers. Excessive? Perhaps, but it is an excess of luxury.

The multi-packs

Hane's Womens Nylon Hi-Cuts 5-pack. The perfect stocking stuffer.

These briefs are only available in multi-packs. These are not your finely hand-crafted boutique lingerie. They are the product of a mass-production underwear supply chain that serves these panties by the dozen through grocery stores, drug stores, and department stores, to be bought by hurried working women who just want the peace of mind of knowing that underwear for the week is covered. And they could do much worse than to grab these luxurious undies!

Herroom.com describes Hanes:

For decades, Hanes has brought women the every day basic under wear essentials, including panties, that are must haves in every lingerie wardrobe. Hanes makes it easy to stock up on your favorite comfortable every day panty styles by selling multi packs so that you can buy them in bulk and save.

Nothing fancy here!

Opening one of the multi-packs is a ritual in itself. The smell of the plastic and fresh clean nylon surrounds you, your fingers run over the cool, unspoiled fabric, and you thrill as you discover which colors and prints you got this time. Will we get a bold pink, or a rare yellow? You slide the five briefs out of the package and pick gently at the scotch tape that keeps them bound, origami-like, to the stabilizing cardboard.

Truely Timeless Classics

I have been wearing some form of Hanes's women's nylon briefs for over twenty years, off and on. Even back then, this style of panty was old.

They are pretty much the same panties that I remember from my childhood. The main difference is that the lace waistband used to be wider, and of course Hanes went tagless sometime in the 2000s, so before this there used to be a tiny fortune-cookie tag sewed into the inside of one of the side hems.

I'm sure some underwear historian would be able to point out when exactly this style of nylon brief panty became popular. It would be sometime after WWII, say the 1950s, when this style first appeared. And like the crab or crocodile, these panties found their niche and have fit it so perfectly that the basic design has not changed in 70 years! 

Marilyn Monroe's iconic panties are nylon full briefs. Nuff said.

Conclusion

I could rhapsodize about these panties all day. They fit beautifully, feel and look wonderful. Their touch is a caress. You don't have to worry about visible pantyline when wearing the full brief cut: it's leg bands sit low on your thigh and doesn't bind. Exquisitely feminine. Bold. Daring.

These were the first real panties I was able to wear regularly, as a young lad. We all have a soft spot for our first love, don't we?

To any man who is looking across the aisle for his next underwear purchase: I humbly suggest these simple Hanes as an excellent replacement for your daily boxer briefs. If you try them on with an open mind, these undies just might change your world!

Guess who just went panty shopping at Kohl's?

Is it excessive, since I just got a whole bunch of panties in the mail ? Who cares! Let's live a little! Let's take a leisurely stroll through Kohl's women's underwear section. I can happily report that Kohls remains an excellent shopping choice for the panty-wearing male. They carry a range of diverse brands and styles, including some of the most popular in men's wear. The Bali Skimp Skamp, which I recently reviewed , was well-stocked in a variety of colors and sizes, and highly organized. They look so inviting! The Vanity Fair Ravissant brief , maybe the best panty known to man, was also prominently represented, proudly hanging in full splendor right at the front of the women's intimates section.  They also carried a great variety of Vanity Fair's top-selling illuminations briefs. I considered picking up a pair of their full cut briefs, since I don't have any in that cut. In the end, I picked up a three-pack of Jockey's No Panty Line Promise hip br...

The Mega Brief Showdown Part 3: Vanity Fair Perfectly Yours Ravissant Tailored Brief Panty

  What lies beneath the surface of this unassuming full-cut panty? As I've been writing these reviews, I've made it my rule to wear the panty as I write the review. It's only fair, I reasoned. But it meant that, in all cases, I had to change out of the Vanity Fair Ravissant panties first to do it. Over the last few days as I go about my business, if I am not wearing the Vanity Fair panties I find myself wishing that I were, instead. There's no denying an instinctual reaction like that: these are the undisputed champion of the three-way panty face-off I've called the Mega Brief Showdown, where I reviewed Bali Skimp Skamp Briefs and then the Olga Secret Hug Nylon Briefs . Formidable classics in their own right, but still not enough to unseat the throne of the best panty of all time. The Vanity Fair Perfectly Yours Ravissant Tailored Brief Panty Don't take my word for it. Not only is the Vanity Fair Ravissant panty specifically recommended to men by Tomima of HerR...

The Mega Brief Showdown, Part 2: Olga Secret Hug

As documented in my  two other   posts , I recently ordered three of my all-time favorite brief panties for something of a three-way showdown to determine once and for all which panty is my favorite. These are not examples of my practical everyday panties-- they are my fantasy panties; indulgent, decadent, and fully excessive in the best way. Indulgent, decadent, and excessive: the Olga Secret Hug Brief When I think about panties like that, I inevitably remember the times I wore Olga Secret Hug Nylon Briefs. These panties have taken on legendary status in my mind, and one look at that picture should tell you why: every element of this panty is completely over the top, from the inch-wide lace waistband, the inch-wide lace legbands, the rear seam that hugs your butt, the buttery-soft fabric, and the generous, full-coverage cut that some call a "granny panty."  Intoxicating, or some might say overwhelming. When you wear these panties you are overwhelmed : overwhelmed by the ...
