I prefer them to regular panties, but then again I prefer the g-strings and t-strings to thongs as well... there's just something about knowing that you have barely any fabric covering one of the most sensitive areas of your body that just makes it that much better =) It's a never ending cycle I tells ya ^^ But as far as I know... boy cut panties are coming into style now, at least up here in the frozen wasteland of Canada they are lol.
