Hey mamas! Whatcha wearing underneath those clothes of yours? If you are like most moms, you’re probably sporting the same bra you’ve been wearing since Monday and a pair of oh-so-comfy cotton briefs (ahem, granny panties) in a medley of colors and/or prints. Sadly, this is the norm for most moms—we just don’t put much thought into our skivvies the way we used to…until now. We admit that up until recently, we belonged to the “anything goes in the underclothes” group ourselves. But while contemplating our most recent read, we learned that the French care about what goes on beneath their clothes almost as much as they care about their public-facing attire. They advise to “spend a fortune on lingerie no one will ever see.” That got us to thinking, maybe it’s time to treat ourselves and do the same (preferably, without spending a fortune).

With that in mind, we’ve searched high and low for beautiful and sexy undergarments that are also comfortable—yes, it’s possible! From lacy sets that are both delicate and pretty to cotton items that offer maximum comfort with a hint of seduction, we’ve got your underclothes covered.

P.S. Is nursing keeping you from splurging on new intimates? We’ve discovered some beautiful options here and here. No excuses, breast-feeders!
