So you're ready for the fete! New high­heels, new shorts and the cutest top ever. The on­ly prob­lem is your "bin­go bags" (aka Granny panties) are so huge that they sneak out of your short pants. A re­al turn-on, right? Wrong! Ma­jor turn-off!

Try some­thing new! While women spend tonnes of cash on the trendi­est cloth­ing, it is just as im­por­tant to get the trendi­est un­der­wear. There­fore at Car­ni­val time � and its ac­com­pa­ny­ing fete sea­son �we need to get smart un­der­wear that will not show it­self up as part of our cos­tumes. So how do we hide the un­der­wear for Car­ni­val? It's easy! We all know about those lit­tle clear straps that you use in place of bra straps right?

Well, those are al­ways an op­tion, but you can opt for a strap­less bra. How­ev­er, be sure it fits well be­cause you don't want to have to tug it up­ward every time you put your hands up to wave your flag or your rag. If your breasts are still perky then you can choose to wear nip­ple patch­es (pasties). These patch­es come in all sorts of shapes and colours and they're quite sexy too. As for panties, well there is a wide range to choose from. Throw the granny panties away and get your­self a sexy thong. This way, you get rid of those un­sight­ly panty lines.

How­ev­er, if you feel un­com­fort­able in thongs then you can choose to wear whole panties but be sure to get the seam­less ones. For those of you who are go­ing through your pe­ri­od at the point in time, you can choose to wear tam­pons and if tam­pons are not your kind of thing, these seam­less whole panties will hold your fem­i­nine nap­kin snug­ly in place. Seam­less panties are quite com­fort­able. Most are made with soft, breath­able ma­te­r­i­al, gives you tremen­dous free­dom and best of all - they don't show through your cloth­ing. This leaves room for imag­i­na­tion right? If you've de­cid­ed to wear some­thing seethrough or an ex­treme­ly short skirt, you can get your­self a seam­less skin-coloured panty.

It tricks oth­ers in­to think­ing that they just might get a peek at your stuff but it keeps you cov­ered! If you're wear­ing a to­tal­ly see through dress, you can go with the seam­less nude thong or girl shorts and a nude bra or nip­ple patch, or you can sim­ply wear a nude slip. As for tights, now there are com­fort­able tights in all sorts of colours. Choose to go with the nude look­ing ones or the ones that match your cos­tume. When choos­ing stock­ings, go with some­thing sheer that is right for your com­plex­ion. Last­ly, when choos­ing un­der­wear, com­fort is of ut­most im­por­tance. Take your cloth­ing with you when you go to shop so you will know for sure whether lines and straps will show up and re­mem­ber to make smart choic­es and keep those undies hid­den!
