Wearing them under clothing for more than, say, 10 minutes, will insure that you will have fruit-flavored pubic hair for about a month. They are meant to be worn alone and for a brief period of time. ---

Hint #18 Buy Fruit Roll-Ups. They are a lot cheaper. Use only 1/4 of the amount of “panty” as you will be so freaking sick of dried fruit you’ll lose interest in anything else due to a tummyache. * * * \>^,^\< KITTEN Coarse and violent nudity. Occasional language. ---

Yeah! And my “brief periods” (the amount of time I wear a pair of briefs) are more like 16 hours. ---
