Watch Your Back

The summer is a coming, and those catapult bras and war time granny bashers under scanty clothing are showcasing your backside for all the wrong reasons. If you don’t want to risk going commando à la Ms Loos on Celebrity X-Factor, then it’s time to invest in dental floss thongs.

It’s a practicality thing and despite much preferring to decorate our derrieres with the frilliest of French knickers, it’s a string which is going to save us from mortifying VPL.

The anti-ageing skincare expert RoC surveyed over 1000 UK Women and discovered that with 42 per cent of the vote, the dreaded VPL is the most embarrassing rear-view faux pas. Coming in a close second at 41 per cent is the ill-fitted bra creating the fat back look.

Other shameful no-no’s were:

DOD (Derriere on Display) 19 per cent
Toilet Roll on the shoe 16 per cent
Skirt tucked into underwear 13 per cent
Cellulite showing through tight clothes 6 per cent

We’ve found the most hush, hush of thongs so the only thing people will be whispering about now is whether you are or whether you aren’t - A girl’s got to leave some things up to the imagination.
