After having three boys and then a girl, I’m finding the continual flash of white nappy under skirts and dresses visually challenging. Twisted Twee’s pantlets (pants to cover nappies) may be just the answer I’m looking for.

Twisted Twee designer Suzi Warren maintains it’s the principle duty of any parent to instill in their offspring an appreciation of exquisite underwear. With that in mind she has created a great range of quirky, colourful and funny pantlets.

Put top politicians on bottom with Obama*, Churchill and Thatcher pantlets. Go historic with Shakespeare, Elizabeth I and Henry VIII, or choose from a range of retro prints and racing stripes. There is certainly a pair of pantlets to match any ensemble. At least the sight of Obama’s face as my daughter whizzes down the slide with her skirt around her ears will give other parents in the playground a laugh.

Also at Twisted Twee are very cute t-shirt sets for dads and kids – just the thing for chips off the old block.

Pantlets range from £10-16 and t-shirt sets are £30. Twisted Twee happily ships to Australia (postage is a flat rate of £5). If you would prefer to shop locally, Cradle Rock occasionally carries a small range of Twisted Twee.

*For those who are keen, Obama pants are available in mum sizes as well.
