Ashlee Turner pitches The Pocket Panty, her prtable panties for women on the go, in Shark Tank episode 1509. Ashlee is used to being an entrepreneur. She ran Sweet Sugar, a candy “lounge” in Los Angeles for a number of years. During that time, she did a lot of running around dealing with catering events.
It was during that time the idea for Pocket Panty came to her. She wanted to be able to change her panties after running around all day without having to go home. They didn’t need to be fancy panties, just fresh and clean. The existing options were either uncomfortable or too fancy for everyday use, so she decided to design her own.
The panties are available in sizes that accomodate a wide variety of body types. They come in any color you want as long as it’s black. A pair of panties is $10 while a 5 pack costs $45. She also sells a shower cap for $13. Ashlee likely wants a Shark’s help with marketing and customer acquisition.

The Pocket Panty Shark Tank Recap
Ashlee will pitch the panel of five Sharks on the business and its prospects for growth. She’ll need to convince Mark Cuban, Emma Grede, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec that the company is worthy of a Shark investment. A good business plan, good financials, and sales data will impress the Sharks, but she’ll need to show them SHE is capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on The Pocket Panty will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
