Query: Is something really a “trend” if it only appears as such on blog and in magazines? Because while there seems to be an increasing amount of articles dedicated to clothing aimed at displaying one’s butt cleavage, we’re not sure we know too many people keen on adopting this trend. We’ve always been perplexed at flimsy little pieces of lingerie designed to give someone a little peek at our crack. We have enough to worry about concerning wedgies, visible panty lines and panties that play music at inopportune moments. Like funerals. But maybe we just have unfashionable taste in butt-coverings.

Some perplexing and slightly uncomfortable examples of this trend, after the jump:

Pink Spot Mesh Keyhole Brief - $9.80

Kind of cute, actually. We’d recommend these if we didn’t suspect your boyfriend would keep trying to stick things in the keyhole. Like matchsticks, tooth picks or objects with similar girth.

Stretch Lace Cheeky Panty - 3 / $25.00

This model seems so happy. It almost makes us want to spend money on panties that don’t come in packs of six at Target.

Wide Lace Crotchless Panty Plus - 2 / $24.00

A crotchless, wide-lace panty with lace-ups at the back, for when you want to leave something to the imagination.

Backless Panties - $9.95

If you’re wearing something low enough to warrant the use of backless panties, you might want to rethink your options.

And, because the fashion and beauty industries have a symbiotic relationship when it comes to making you feel inadequate, we’re pretty sure you’ll actually be able to find this product very soon:
