SHOMER NEGIAH PANTIES NOW AVAILABLE ON ETSY
Shomer Negiah is a concept in Jewish law halacha that prohibits any degree of physical contact with, or touching of, a member of the opposite sex, except for one’s spouse and immediate family. Shomer means “guards”, but due to its common use in phrases relating to religious practice, it has come to mean: “adhere to” as well. Negiah is the Hebrew word for “touch”, and thus Shomer Negiah is a term used to describe one who “guards the touch” or simply “adheres to restrictions of touch”. Although the feminine form of the term is technically Shomeret Negiah, it is almost always used in the masculine, even when in reference to women. Shomer Negiah Panties allow a woman to abide by the halacha, but still be individual and sexy at the same time.

| my pink sexy low cut bras say vlo sasuru in micro print … lol |
 why don’t you ASK her, DB? Or would that be un-tznius (as opposed to, say, visiting her blog, looking at her panties, and then tattling on your own blog…)  |
this is much more tzanuah.Trust me. I’m a man  |
| “Shomer Negiah Panties,” essentially ordinary cotton undies,
I’m going to run over to CafePress and put some “Shomer Negiah Thongs” up for sale. |
| What about the fringes? Women unite for equality! We want fringes on our panties! |
| How about upgrading to a tattoo strategically placed on one’s behind? This could be a real trend on the upper west side! |

Totally unecc. In Willy. they’ve found the combination of bald heads and really thick stockings serve the same purpose. |
| that’s a weird fetish. |
| Not a fetish. A form of birth control. |
 I think it’s just for giggles. I could imagine SN girls giving each other these panties as a joke… the number of SN guys who’ll ever see them on a girl is probably tiny. |
 Granny panties are by definition shomer negiah.
——– Perhaps what the world REALLY needs are burqas with playboy bunnies or ‘party-babe’ stencilled across the front. |
| DB: Been done before. Look, don’t you think this makes the statement just a bit more…… pointed? http://www.corkscrew-balloon.com…torture/ 31.html Anon: A form of birth control??? Wow, I’d hate to know what you consider birth-out-of-control, then. |
 that’s hot…. |
 I just don’t see it.
Then why bother giving old Maya and her incredibly unfunny, juvenile and tasteless underwear any more free publicity? What motivates you to post what you do really mystifies. |
| Oooh, these could be useful for the frum girl who secretly moonlights as a stripper. Warning, guys — all lookie, no touchie. |

A match truly made in hell as her audience would no doubt comprise frum boys who secretly “moonlight” as patrons of “gentlemens” clubs |
 Kinda like the “Sanitized for your protection” ribbons on motel toilets. |

I now have this mental image of bearded young gentlemen wearing ill-fitting ‘gentile’ clothes yelling “remove your sheitel, remove your sheitel”. Thank you. It will take me a while to get over this trauma. |
| BOTH
Dain ershtoinung iz gornit antkegen der ershtoinung fun zaira vaiber If only such occurences were as humurous and harmless as the “sleeveless bar” scene that you conjured. |
| I can see them being a present for a friend too–or a joke for one’s husband.
I don’t see them having any halachic purpose, though. Unless there’s a mitzvah to wear tacky panties that I somehow missed. |
| I’m married, and I would wear them. I think they’re hilarious. But I’d be too scared to give them to anyone I know–they might take it the wrong way. |
| Pardon me for the overshare, but I have a pair of panties that say “Girls know best” on the front. And there are times that they are appropriate for the situation, like maybe when I need a reminder that girls really do know best (I am almost 43, so hardly a girl, but the sentiment is the same.)
Similarly, I could see a shomer negiah young woman wearing these panties on a date. Just knowing what her panties say might help her keep her skirt on! |
 at the mall any day now, i’m expecting to see “Shomer Negiah” stenciled on the butt of some babes yoga pants… |
 I am truly mystified that this post exists |
| It’s obviously a gag. What’s the big deal? Girls that are really shomer are never going to wear them with any expectation that a guy will see them, and those that aren’t will wear them for their ironic humor. |

Also know as a “Tramp Stamp.” |
 It should also say “shomer negiah” in braille in case it’s dark in the room when being read.
Should also say it in Hebrew or Yiddish, so the message is clear to all chareidim as well. |
| Ah, should have looked at her site first. DB, now you’re linking to tushies?! What a shonda. I go away for a few weeks…
In any event, perhaps she could tatoo it on the small of her back, then could wear any panties she likes? Just a thought. |

At Stern College in the 60s, girls had to fill out a form at the dorm when leaving in the company of a male – where going (movie, restaurant, etc.) and other items. One question was “with whom are you going out?” and inevitably, the answer the girls gave was “Billy Neder”.
None of the shomer negiah girls I’ve known were showing anyone their panties, least of all to advertise their piety in observing the laws of modesty. Honestly, this is no different than those sweatpants that have hands silhouettes on the backside and lettering that reads ‘Hands Off’. Funny? Sure. Sassy? Absolutely? Halachic… not a chance.
how come thewy don’t make kosher l’pesach edible undies?
Very interesting, Maya. You might want to post this at The Jewish Culture Log:

Thats the HOTTEST thing i’ve ever seen!
Good site!!!
Great posting. I’m not so sure if these panties will help to keep schiomer negia, or, insted, are somewhat provokant?
.
Just try to explore your website since I saw your profile elsewhere
I WANT SOME NOW !!!!!!!!! where can i find these amazing shomer panties ????
I recently saw a hebrew name Adonikam,I use that name as my own personal nickname.I saw the hebrew panties and I wondered if they would make a pair with the Adonikam name,if you are curious of the name,look it up in the bible.Ezra 2:13.nuff said.
Can you buy these with a S.M.A.R.T. card?
Anyone who knows me, knows I am the mostopen, non-prude. But this is both stupid (as it brings one no honor before the One who commanded us to be Shomer Negia) and obnoxious.
But what else can one expect from those who have sold out and stay in the land of Esav, with all their excuses and rationalizations.This together with the designer kippot, is the abyss. Not much lower for so-called religious Jews to go. Maybe there is hope if the bottom has been reached.
Listen to a tune,If they actually made a pair of ADONIKAM brand panty,womanhood would become an actuality of choice in todays slump of the rump,not much to do but write a name and “wow”.Nuff Sedd.
