Puzzled WOO HOO
9/16/06 11:55 pmrecently for some unknown reason I can't wear normal underwear that I've worn all my life. Cotton, regular briefs, nothing fancy, no high-rise, open crotches, lace, any of that crap. LovePats have gotten just too expensive and I'm too poor to justify the expense.
So about a year ago I went to Wal-Mart and laid in a goodly supply of the aforementioned plain vanilla drawers. They did well for a while, but at the beginning of the summer I began having problems with the legband on the left causing a sore place. Not yeast or anything, but like a rope burn. The damn drawers fit fine, not too loose or too tight, especially not in the legs. The only thing that cures the panty burn is not wearing them and smearing Neosporin ointment on the burn 3 times a day until it's healed.
Now, I don't normally mind going commando, but all the freakin' time? There are times and some clothing items where I'd like a little support for the troops, if you know what I mean. But I can't wear any of my Wal-Mart drawers because I hate the thigh crease burn.
So I went there today to get some of what they call "boy briefs". When I was a young'un we called them "tap pants". They have a short little leg to them and no elastic that rides in the inguinal fold (crease of your thigh). I looked at the size charts, and picked out a 3 pack of Just My Size in size 9, because they are supposed to fit hips size 42-45 inches. I figured they'd just fit.
WELL. Mental body image intruded on THAT little decision big time. I got them home and tried on a pair (over pants, just in case) and the bastards are TOO DAMN BIG!!!! I mean billowing in the wind, fall down if I take a step, ultimate granny-panty too big. So YAY for that, but now I have to not only measure my hips and waist to see what I should really wear, I have to wonder where those extra pounds are hiding that I can't seem to shift!
I should have had a clue, though, the dri-weave capris I was wearing were a small 16/18 in normal sizes....
Does Wal-Mart take back opened panty packages? Hmmmm...
