I’ve been gaining weight. Don’t have a clue why (turning head and sneaking jelly beans into mouth)…but, somehow, I’ve managed to gain 10 pounds. None of my clothes from last summer fit me. Well…the shirts do. So do the shoes. But the pants…I don’t think so. I can’t even squeeze myself into them and wear a long shirt to hide the fact that my zipper broke…nope.
Anyway…
So, I decided that it was time to buy new clothes. I was scaring people when I was chasing after my naked son…naked. Quite a sight, I tell ya!
After some research on the latest fashions, I decided that skirts and tank tops are going to be the uniform of choice this summer.
I ran over to Target…LOVE it there!!
I chose a few skirts…including and not limited to…a really cute t-shirt material Mossimo skirt, a white Issac Mizrahi skirt and a brown and tan skirt. Actually…the Mossimo skirt…I got that in 3 different colors. After all, this is going to be my summer uniform so…more power in numbers, you know what I’m saying?!
Then, I bought a bunch of tank tops. So stinking cute.
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off…
I don’t own underwear. Don’t like them. As a matter of fact, I’m generally anti-underwear!!!
But, really…you HAVE to wear underwear with skirts. Because…
If you have a son like mine…
he likes to pull up my skirt…in public…and put his head under there…
That whole scene…it’s wrong on SO MANY different levels…especially when and if I don’t have underwear on…
So, I bought myself, much to my chagrin…some thongs. Because, my greatest gripe with underwear…WEDGIES…and underwear lines…
Which brings me to my point…(shoving more jelly beans into mouth)…
What the heck is the difference between wearing regular bikini underwear and getting wedgies…THAT YOU CAN PULL OUT!! Or, wearing thongs…whose wedgies…are PERMANENT!!??
Seriously?
WTF is the deal with thongs? Granted…no underwear lines. But this permanent wedgie thing…I’m thinking I’m willing to take my chances with my son showing everyone my beaver!!!
Just sayin…
this is why we refer to thongs as butt floss in our house.
my daughter loves ’em. me? *shudder*
They are not as uncomfortable as the wedgie. I didn’t think I’d like em, but I do!
No panty lines. Panty lines are not attractive. This coming from someone who doesn’t even own a thong anymore because of the flat saggy shape of her bottom.
Thongs are only worn by me if necessary. I’m not a huge fan of thongs. You will get used to it, but still. It’s kinda gross when you think about it, isn’t it?
I just make sure to buy the right type of underwear so they don’t show under my pants.
First of all, you mostly likely won’t have panty lines with a skirt anyway unless its form fitting.
Secondly, if you buy boyshorts, which are totally cute and comfy, they are also less likely to show lines.
And finally, just look for panties with a really thin panty line. They have “no-show” panties and I find that usually the boy shorts I buy with the lace border on the bottom don’t show either. VS has a whole section of no-show panties and they work for me!

I also love their cheekies! 🙂
Wow. You don’t like them? I’m totally into granny panties. I could care less about vpl as an old married broad.
I have to buy certain underwear. It has to fit a certain way so it doesn’t creep. I used to buy from american eagle but now they went all stupid and got boy looking undies. It’s bad enough I keep getting harassed by viagra and penile enhancement sellers. I don’t want to wear boy undies too!!! lol. I wish we had a target close by!
Yay for new clothes!!
just wear boxers, hehe.
night night melissa.
xoxo, beany
I love Target!
I don’t get thongs either. So not comfie!
Can’t wear thongs… eewww. That’s all my college kid has, but her butt is 3x smaller than mine. I think at a certain size you can no longer call a thong, a thong. I love Tar-jay too.
Sometimes I wear boxers, but usually I wear Hanes or Fruit of the Loom bikinis (whatever’s on sale). I used to wear size 5. They turned into thongs as I aged. I moved up into 6, then 7. Now I wear 8 and they’re comfy comfy. I do not wear thin fabric pants, so I have no lines. I wear jeans and shorts. And in the winter I wear flannel boxers under the jeans.
I love straight skirts and fitted pants but hate panty lines, but also can’t bring myself to wear a thong. It’s like you said, a permenant wedgie does not appeal to me. So far I have been able to find no-line panties that work for me. I am a firm believer in containing the beaver.
I still can’t get over the fact that you don’t wear them, on a regular basis, per se. Good luck finding ones that cover and don’t pucker.
Try the V-string from Victoria’s Secret. I can’t stand the traditional thong, too much fabric up my ass. The V-string just has a thin string, nice and comfy!
eeewww and you threw one at me.
I almost spit out my mint choc.chip ice cream all over the monitor from laughing so hard on this one!!! (You were sneaking jelly beans, I was shoveling in ice cream – something I can do while reading blogs!) (There goes another few pounds!) Me, I’ve never done the thong thing. Actually, I tried one once in high school, and it wasn’t that bad (from what I can remember), but haven’t tried one since. I’m a bigger girl, and I don’t think I’d be cruel enough to subject those around me to having to be traumatized with the sight of my giggly butt. I smooth it out & hold it in a little with my big ‘ol granny panties! LOL (Hanes Her Way) (Well, they’re not that bad, but compared to thongs, they are!) I have a friend that has worn thongs before most kids even heard of them (back in the 80’s), and she still does. It works for her, but not for me. Then again, I’m not a skirt wearer with a child that wants to unknowingly embarrass me! Good luck on that one!!!
P.S. I love that comment up there… “I am a firm believer in containing the beaver.” !!!!!
I kinda like the boy shorts myself. Those and a tank are sexy!
