Bare Bones

Rittrati Sensation Skin Cut Underwear

There are those words that just make you cringe: moist, slacks, decoupage, crust.

Another you wish would go away? Panties.

And though the “p” word isn’t likely to be pulled from Webster’s anytime soon, there may be a way to get rid of it.

Well, at least most of it.

Ritratti Sensation Skin Cut unmentionables are so seamless and light, they almost disappear under your clothes. The Italian-made bikinis and thongs have no seams or bulky elastic, are super soft, and lay flat on the skin, held in place with special silicone strips (that you can’t even feel). The best part? You can wear them under the slinkiest of clothes.

The colors aren’t exciting, but since they’re not supposed to be seen, black and nude are just fine.

Nude. Ugh.

Another gross word.

Available at Coup de Foudre, 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, between 11th and E Streets (202-393-0878).
