PrintBest Sugar High from Lingerie Ever
Candy necklaces are so rated-PG. Go for the saucy bra and g-string set instead, made of sweet Smarties-like beads. Besides, we all know the gelatinous, fruit snack-like alternatives are pretty overplayed and far less glam. This one is awfully skimpy however, with its one-size-fits-most caveat. And nut allergy victims should be forewarned—it's made in a factory with nut-containing foods according to one online shop. First no peanut butter, now this!
In 2006, talk show diva Kelly Ripa received one from Rege, and while cat-walking across the stage in her new brasserie she yelled, “This could be the greatest gift I've ever got!” Not a bad usage of $8.95.
After the jump, Kelly Ripa models the candy bra.

We bought my friend one of the bras and made her wear it all night during her bachelorette party. She chose to wear it over a white shirt. By the end of the night, because of all the dancing and sweating we did, the colored outline of the candy bra was still visible on the t-shirt even after she took it off.
I have never seen the candy g-string, though. And I'm thinking several thoughts about it that I probably should avoid posting on this site. Or on any site, for that matter.

Let me get this straight.
You have to warn people about eating somebody's underwear because it was made in the same factory with nut-containing foods?
How simply 00'ish, or whatever the term is.

Just trying to look out for others, srhcb.
My friend just filled me in that Dylan's Candy Bar carries them! Apparently not on their site, but at the actual store. http://www.dylanscandybar.com/

@Erin Zimmer: The heads-up was a good idea. I'd hate to hear of someone getting allergies unintentionally...
On the note of candy underwear... I too have some thoughts that should be kept private. And so they will.

For anyone that's in the UK, Ann Summers usually sells the candy bra. I've never been tempted to buy one though...

@levinedym@Erin Zimmer@sthcb@nut warning.
I could see it if it was men's underwear?
