Would You Spend $7.50 On Emergency Undies?

Flingz
 

What: Flingz Ultimate Thongs, 3 for $18 or $7.50 each

 

Why: Flingz thongs bill themselves as the ultimate underwear for women on the go… they even come individually packaged in a small, reusable ziplock bag, making it easy to tuck them into your work tote, gym bag, car glove box, clutch or anywhere else that you can think of.

We thought $7.50 might be a bit much to spend on a pair of emergency undies, but they're extremely comfortable since they’re tagless and have thin, flat elastic that doesn’t show under even the most figure-hugging dress. The material is also lightweight enough it can be hand-washed and will dry overnight - so you seriously only need to remember one pair, and you're safe. So even though they fold up into a tiny little pouch, they still qualify as regular, wearable panties in our book.

Would you buy a pair?

    they look more complicated to find then just walking into a target or macys and just buy 1 pair for less the price. And what kind of emergency will you need extra underwear for? If its a one night stand usually you dont change your underwear...you just leave a few hours before morning!

    please.... what is the point of "emergency undies"?? if you know you going to be out there doing anything you would concider an emergency, make sure what you have on is clean and suitable for the situation you are in! Duh!! But am sure someone would go out there and pay the $7.50 for a single pair of thongs. Thats just rediculous!! If you can't find anything better to spend your money on, give it to a charity!!

    This is a scam. Why not just carry a pair of regular underwear in a regular old zip-loc bag in your gym bag or purse if you're worried about needing extra panties? It's just another scheme to get women to pay too much money for something useless. I actually find it insulting. Why don't they make them for men?

    so stupid. if i have to "remember" some underwear, it will be some i already own. if it's a freaky emergency, i don't need any. if it is a true emergency, i won't care.
