Francesca Rudkin

And I'm Francesca Rudkin.

Good to have you with us.

As you may have noticed by now, we're releasing podcasts every two weeks this year.

No.

Well, that's funny you should say that because I put on some knickers the other day and I put my fingers through them and I just continued to wear them.

And then I did say to my partner, though, hey, look, if something happened to me in the night and you had to take me to the hospital, could you just check my underwear, please?

I mean, you still think about that.

I mean, that was something that your mum said to you.

That's an old-fashioned thing.

Well, what would happen if you were taken to hospital and you're dirty undies or something?

I don't think they do.

But can I suggest, for a woman of our age, if you're going through perimenopause or menopause or something, or if you've noticed lots of changes –

If you sweat a little bit more in summer, the merino underwear is absolutely fantastic.

I'm a huge convert now.

You are, aren't you?

But I do have a bit of an issue with the bra because actually I think too many of us aren't wearing bras that are doing us any favours whatsoever.

And I'm the same.

You might have noticed this morning I came in and all I was doing was pulling up my bra straps because they're just falling down.

And my bras are absolutely – I run across the road, I have to hold my boobs.

Occasionally I go, right, I'm going to go and spend the money.
