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 HerRoom, it is also a perennial favorite of men everywhere, garnering a whopping 109 reviews from men (including reviews for the lace nouveau brief, which is basically the same thing but with a lace panel at the top of the legs) alongside undoubtably many more on websites like amazon, freshpair, macy's, and the like. In the old days of "Ask Van and Olga," Van took his name from this brand. Men have been recommending these panties to other men for literally decades. If you haven't tried them yet, you owe it to yourself to pick up a pair.

The panties are designed to rest on your body shape in a particular way. Try wearing them like this: put them on, and then hike the waistband up as high as it wants to go. This might clash with your natural instinct to keep the panties low, with the band around around your hips; instead, you want the band to come to your navel. The leg bands should sit comfortably snug right where your cheeks meet your thighs.

When worn this way, you'll see that the leg bands hold tight in place as you bend over, while the waistband should cinch a bit at your waistline and pull up. As a result, the panty will be held in place by this tension as you crouch, bend, jog, going about your day. 

The cut is the definition of simplicity, but all of the magic here is in the fabric.

Yes, these outrageously silky granny panties should come right up to your navel. Some men might balk at this, and call panties like these preposterous, but only because they are afraid to taste of this forbidden fruit. The truth is, from the moment you first lay your hands on the smooth drape of these ultra-silky, ultra-sensual full cut briefs, you'll never want to wear anything else. They really are that good.

Male customer feedback

The style 15712 Blushing Pink Vanity Fair Perfectly Yours Ravissant briefs I purchased at HerRoom are the most comfortable pair of nylon full-brief women's-underwear I've ever worn in my life and I've tried a lot of them.

I love these panties. have been wearing them for over 20 years now.

My wife and I have worn these for years and wouldn't give them up. 

This is the Gold Standard in briefs, after many years of research , and use. They are sexy, comfortable, and a good value.

If you, like me, think these are the best panties a man could ever wear, then you're not alone. At this point, they're almost a tradition, a rite of passage among men who wear women's underwear.

As for myself, I've always loved these panties. They're almost too much for me. I buy other panties but I come back to these. They never disappoint, and they always make your day better.

The Vanity Fair Ravissant brief won the 2012 undie awards for best full-cut brief, among other years:

The good

Pretty much everything about these panties is perfect. You might think the cut is too large, but this is its strength, allowing it to make the most of the luxurious, lustrous fabric that is unique to these panties.

The bad

I would like to see this panty with some lacy waist- and leg-bands, to really put them over the top. In fact, I think I bought such a pair once at a Macy's lingerie department. If such a panty exists, I think it is exclusive to certain retailers.

In conclusion, I raise a toast to the Vanity Fair Perfectly Yours Ravissant Tailored Brief Panty: the stand-out best among a highly competitive field of high-end full cut brief panties. Beloved classics for a reason.
