Laura Porter is a travel writer who has lived in the London area all her life and can't imagine ever wanting to live elsewhere. London is her 'specialist subject' and she has written the About.com London Travel site since it started in 2006.

'I found out about Who Made Your Pants? on twitter via @makeandmendyear (who I don't know) but who I discovered via @HeardinLondon (who I sort of do know). I then started chatting to @WhoMadeYour on twitter and liked their friendly approach straight away.

I think it's wonderful WMYP offers beautiful yet practical underwear made in this country. The company may be small but it's clear it's a professional set-up with a sense of humour. Ethical undies is an excellent business idea.

I like the Aimee pants the best as they add a touch of glamour to my life even when wearing jeans and a t-shirt (my standard look). And hurrah for no VPL!

As a London travel writer, I'm delighted to say I've worn by WMYP undies to some lovely locations including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. Oh, and the Chelsea Flower Show and while staying at some rather luxurious hotels. But these fancy pants are also worn on school trips and everyday shopping outings too.

As I rarely feature in my photos, here's a pic of my tea and scone at Buckingham Palace (the only time you'll find this tea snob drinking out of a paper cup!)
