Silk, cotton, polyester, rayon , nylon,. . .; what are the fabrics of
choice?
Style? Bloomers, briefs, thigh highs, bikinis, thongs? It could make a
difference. Pantyhose work pretty well in certain applications as well.
Great idea and inexpensive! I would try to be a bit discrete in my
purchasing habit, especially living in a small community. Can't tell what
the local shopkeepr's missus might relate to the green grocer or the local
constable. You think they're going to believe you're using them as a fuel
filter? Right gov.
I think I'd do my shopping "in town" at a Marks & Spencer.
all the best
