Hanky Panky

Feel how comfortable sexy can be with intimate apparel from Hanky Panky. This USA company is known for sensuous bras, panties and camisoles. The Hanky Panky thongs - the 4811 High Rise and the 4911 Low Rise styles - are the collection's most popular items, constructed in Hanky Panky's signature stretch lace, and in a wide range of beautiful colors. Hanky Panky has an enormous celebrity following who like the comfort and the sexy look of the line, and they purchase the thongs and G-strings in several colors, coordinated with bras and camisoles.

The original thong was designed back in 1986 by Gale Epstein, a co-owner and Hanky Panky's Creative Director. This thong had a cult-like following in New York City, where it was designed. But, then a big break came to the company in June 2006 when the Wall Street Journal did a front-page story on their thong - anointing it the most comfortable thong on the market. This article catapulted this boutique manufacturer into the mainstream of lingerie companies. The company has seen cataclysmic growth and continues to expand its offering to keep up with demand.

Unique to the Hanky Panky lingerie brand is the fact that all their products are made in the USA. Although it would be easy to take their manufacturing offshore, Hanky Panky's co-owners, Lida Orzeck and Gale Epstein are committed to the craftsmanship found in the USA. All Hanky Panky panties and thongs are created using the best construction methods available. Believe it or not, each thong consumes over 30 yards of thread. And, more thread means more stitches, and more stitches means the product is more durable and of higher in quality. Additionally, being made in the USA saves time and reduces shipping costs as well as fuel usage.

Sustainability is another priority for the Hanky Panky brand. They try to be as environmentally responsible as possible. To that end, their offices use 100 percent recycled paper for all their copiers and printers, their packaging is executed with 100 percent recycled board and paper. The leftover fabric is all donated to arts and crafts groups.

At HerRoom, the Hanky Panky collection includes several panty styles, Hanky Panky bras, slips, chemises, camisoles and concealers. The signature lace is prominent in the collection, though several new items to the line are created in luxurious triple-mesh nylon or microfiber. The thongs and panties make great bridal gifts in white or ivory, and bridesmaids will want them to match their dresses, too.
