"A few months before I gave birth to my daughter Zilver, I started wearing enormous knickers. Why? Well, they were comfortable for my growing belly and cute, in a retro kind of way.

"A few months before I gave birth to my daughter Zilver, I started wearing enormous knickers. Why? Well, they were comfortable for my growing belly and cute, in a retro kind of way.

Besides, it was just a temporary thing, right? Right. Fast forward one year, and I was still wearing 'granny panties'. Me, the Queen of Lingerie! My business was blooming, my baby was blossoming, my body had completely recovered from the pregnancy and the C-section. I realized it was time to 'drop my veil' and come out of hiding. After - literally! - burning my granny panties in the backyard and slipping into my raciest thong, I felt reborn. Thanking my inner Hermit for helping me claim the time needed to recalibrate my sensuality, I boldly stepped into my 'sexy mama era'.

Stronger and sexier than ever."
