embarassing question

boy, you're not kidding about the lucky sizes.

**Nanci** · 07-25-2006, 02:15 PM

Well, I'd actually rather NOT fit into XL if I had the choice...

There never were any middle sizes, just the extremes. It's a good site to watch every day or two, in your favorite categories or brands, since they have turnover and you can sort by newest so you don't have to look at everything.

I managed to catch both styles of panties, that I already knew and loved, for an additional 20% off on a sale a couple days ago!! So they were $6 and $7 something. Unbelievable.

You know what, though, if something is that cheap on STP, if you Froogle it, you can often find it on other discount sites as well. Like Back Country outlet, or REI outlet. They all get the same closeouts.

well nanci - i have to say you pretty much have my taste in undergarments. love love love the hipsters - and anything with an underwire has been sitting in my drawer for some time now.
That gemini bra looks awesome - a little more style, less training bra-ish than I usually wear. Though, it would not be good to have my boobs fall out of the bottom.

keep me posted on those patagonia sales - i always look at the bras at REI. they look comfy!!

mimitabby - i see what you mean about the luckysizes. I am not an XL, but an XS panty just sounds painful, even if I actually was.

yeah, what about WIRES in women's underwear? What's up with that?
THAT STUFF HURTS!

seriously. men have parts that......uh....sag and droop also. you don't see underwire tighty whities.

**Nanci** · 07-25-2006, 03:49 PM

But if you reach the stage where you have dropping out problems, underwires prevent that. I think they're comfortable. Like a perch for a bird, only different! But they BREAK! Thus, the Patagonia bras. Who cares any more...

Wires must be an update over whalebone....

Dropping out the bottom?!? Hmm..Maybe they should have little parachutes tucked in the cups...

I crashed and broke my ribs in April. The underwire now hits that spot which can still be rather uncomfortable. So I'm slowly divesting myself of underwires. It's getting hard to find bras where the band is comfy.

I bought my first pair of cycling shorts 4 summers ago - at that time no one told me commando was the way to go

I found out last summer but just couldn't do it

Started with Victoria Secret hi rise, graduated to thong (that only lasted 3 rides

took the leap to commando a month ago and am wishing I had done it way sooner

The only way to go !

I regards to boobs now that I am closer to 50 than 49 I am finally thankful I am flat chested, they don't get in the way, congregate sweat pools under them or hang to my navel without a bra, I can button shirts and men look me in the eye!

**mimitabby** · 07-26-2006, 08:44 AM

I started going commando after reading here that you're supposed to.
My average speed has gone up 5mph and now i Really smoke up hills!!

okay, okay, only kidding except for the first line.
It still feels odd to me to put those shorts on without anything underneath. Now every time i pass another biker, i wonder...are they or aren't they?
