This post is about underwear. That’s right, I’m talking about panties. We all wear them everyday, unless you’re one of those that likes to go without (which is a whole other post in itself). We all have our “sexy” panties that we spent a fortune on at Frederick’s or Victoria’s Secret, as well as a ton of regular ol’ cheap panties that we picked up by the pack somewhere like Walmart or Target.
Why do “bikini” underwear always end up looking like granny panties once you get them out of the package?
After they’re worn and washed several times, you end up with a stretched out, faded mess that hardly represents the cuteness you originally purchased in the store. Some of us (*cough* me) are sadly still wearing the same stuff we bought 10+ years ago. And then of course there are those unmentionable garments known as “period panties” that we all hide away in the drawer, and well…..you know.
Stretched out undies? Just say no!
Anyhow, a few months ago, I went through some crazy fit and threw out most of my “ugly” underwear with the plan to purchase more over the next few months. And what happened? I didn’t buy a damn thing. Nope. I’m down to about 10 pair and those are fading fast, both literally and figuratively. I was doing laundry the other morning and realized just how few “good” pairs of underwear I have left.

So I’m putting my foot down and making this promise to myself: I will invest in nice panties every month. I know, you’re thinking, “investing in underwear, what?!” That’s right, I’m investing in undergarments. I’m promising myself that I’ll spend $10 a month on new panties. A nice pair this month, and some practical comfy ones next month, and so on. So maybe no one else will see them other than me or my husband (or my kids that won’t give me two minutes to go the bathroom by myself). But that doesn’t matter. Because it’s worth it to get dressed and look in the mirror and see your tush in some down right sexy panties.
Forget the Wheaties, Special K, and Cheerios. Sexy, comfortable panties are the BEST way to start the day.
That’s right. For only $9.99, you too can own a sexy pair of panties! *Disclaimer* Firm booty not included.
Because every woman should be able to look at themselves in the mirror in the morning and think, “damn, my butt looks good!”
So ‘fess up, do you have a drawer full of ugly unmentionables? How often do you treat yourself to new underwear?
Uhhhh you hit the nail on the head with this one… A few months ago my husband said I shouldn’t buy grannie panties anymore. So I’ve agreed to not buy those for now, but only wear them during a certain *ahem* time of month. My other pair though are sooooo stretched out, worn thin, faded color- sometimes when going through the laundry I’m even the one to say what in the heck is this? Oh wait. It’s just a ripped, holey, unfitting pair of underwear. I stopped wearing “panties” long ago. So I’m taking on the challenge! Good bye 6 for $4 underwear and hello $10 panties!
I have a love/hate relationship with granny panties. They’re are so comfy, but not exactly the most attractive. Good luck with your panty purchasing crusade!
I need to do the same thing.

We all do! Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
Gap Body sale bins are the best and the panties last forever. I have pairs that are several years old and going strong.
I’ll have to check them out! As I lose weight over the next few months, I’m going to just have to start all over with the undies stockpile, lol!
