The Sizing of the Underwear Issue

Yes, it is still an issue. So, I tell the Hub before bed about the whole panty problem, and he asks me how undies are sized... really?  I then realized that I buy his skivvies, so he has no clue.  I thought about this for a moment and began to giggle, he began to snore. I saved it for you.

Most people would think that it would be S, M, and L, and they would be wrong!

See, the sizing thing has more to do with the styles and the way a woman feels about her body. How so?  Well, let's take a look at the classic example: the thong.  This is no more a piece of underwear than a pool noodle is a lifejacket!  Women who wear a thong feel GOOOOODDD about themselves, and their posterior region.  They don't mind a fresh breeze coolin' things off one darn bit.  They don't actually NEED panties, so why on earth would they need a panty liner?  Oh, come on - you know you've seen the box in the girlie aisle and thought "if you need a liner with a thong, then today is NOT the day to wear a thong!" Amen?

And the hipster is a classic example of undies for a girl who likes to be a little trendy but not defloss herself on a regular basis; same with the bikini - only this chickie has less post-baby belly hang to reign in, if any at all.  I have a sneaky suspicion that the thong girls and the bikini babes mix a lot; bet you'd find BOTH in their drawers!!!

And there's the granny panty girl (can she be called that?). She takes total comfort over fashion, and may have no interest what-so-ever in trendy dress.  SHe may also be at the age where she doesn't suspect anyone will be peekin' at her bloomers, let alone ripping them off with his teeth!  She may not remember the last time that happened,... if ever!!!  These are not recommended clothesline fodder... they block the sun!

And what about the Spanks or 'birdles'; well, ladies, we all need a pair at one time or another, so I see no fault here - just plain old realism!

Oh, and the Hub says he DOES know how to buy skivvies for men folk, just didn't have a clue about how the women folks' breeches were sized. I'd suggest he err on the side of wild, and NEVER buy the granny panties for me!!!
