Underwear

YOU might think granny pants would come top of the list, but turns out they aren't UK ladies' least favourite type of underwear.

That dubious title goes to the g-string, which has proved very unpopular in a new survey.

In fact, only 10% of the nation's ladies admitting wearing the skimpy undies.

Sorry guys, but top of the pile came briefs.

It seems we're a country who are all about comfort, as 53% of the 1,000 women who took part saying they go for the relaxed design most of the time.

Next on the hit list was the high-cut style, which is favoured by 17% of ladies.

Colour was also important to the women TENA Lady spoke to... and they weren't impressed with red.

In fact, one 1% of those who opened up with their lingerie loves admitting having something in the eye-popping colour.

Black was the best option according to 50% of women, with the next favourite white with 22% of the vote.

It seems British ladies are a smart bunch though, with 56% insisting they ALWAYS wearing matching bra and pants sets.

They also seem to like splashing out on their smalls, as 28% claimed to add to their lingerie collection every six months.

That said, 55% have something knocking around their undies drawer that's been there for over three years.

Slightly more understandable were the 17% of ladies who wait two years before getting rid of their ancient undies.

"We all know that putting on our favourite underwear makes us feel good about ourselves," Rachel Sumner, brand manager for TENA Lady, said.

"But for the 19 per cent of women that hold back from doing this because of the fear of experiencing bladder weakness, this is something we strive to change."

In line with that, 56% of women wouldn't think twice about chatting to friends about their periods, but only 41% would be as open about bladder problems.
