My granddaughters have many Mattel Barbie's in their collection. I have asked their parents to stop supporting them. Why are their dolls marketed to children but provide no panties on them. The one fairy doll was wearing what I supposed to be a thong. I fear as with the dolls being abnormally thin that the no panty or thong wearing will be seen as the norm. They already show this on every media. I did send this on to Mattel and they responded with a form letter letting me know they have received my complaints and were glad to hear from me. So moving forward no Mattel Barbie's on any of the girls lists.
Recommendation: Buy dolls with panties
