Best sweat proof underwear aficionados and lingerie enthusiasts the world over have sent in their votes. The ballots have been counted and the results are in! Women and men cast over 40,000 votes for their favored unmentionables by type, brand and style as part of the 2011 Undie Awards. Winners were announced today by the awards' web page, www.theundies.com.
Over a one month period, voters of all shapes and sizes anonymously took part in the online awards, which cover bras, panties, thongs, G-strings, boyshorts and shapewear for ladies, as well as sweat proof undershirts for men and underwear, including sweat shield, boxers, boxer briefs, briefs, thongs and jackstraps. The Undies site featured drop-down menus which enabled voters to quickly select their favorite brand and style. Voters also had the option of writing-in their preferred underwear, if it was not listed.
Now in their fifth year, The Undies are an annual awards program designed to provide consumers with a forum for sharing what their preferred undergarments are. The results display a fascinating array of underwear preferences, based on the wearers'ages and body characteristics.
In addition to encouraging voters to nominate their favored pair for greatness, the awards also seek to introduce voters to brands they may be unfamiliar with, by way of the 'select' winner categories, which are determined by Undies staffers as a way of highlighting smaller brands deserving of the spotlight.
"Over the past 5 yrs, I have been enthralled by each year's Undie results. Like the Oscars, there are some predictable winners, but also some terrific surprises," said Tomima Edmark, lingerie & undergarment expert. "Ultimately, the Undies are a great place for many people to track and analyze trends, in particular among ladies. The very first year we launched the awards, the thong silhouette was the runaway choice for most of the ladies. Now, the trend has shifted and more boyshorts are winning votes. It's also fun to check out a return to women wearing comfortable 'granny panties.' In the bra category, there has been an improvement in sports bra voting in recent times, which suggests that more women are purchasing sports bras. We see this reflected in the variety of sports bras that are now on the market."
