Review: Not Your Daughter's Jeans

[chryss]

I don't see the big deal about thongs. I want as little underwear as possible.

If thongs work for you, great. I think prejudices and associations about what "proper" clothing is are mostly silly. It's just that they are supremely uncomfortable for me.

Before I left the UK I stocked up on my favourite style ("midi") from the Marks & Spencer packs. Now I've lost weight, and they are a little looser than I prefer, but still better than most underwear. I do need something without a seam in front, though, I think, for longer bike rides.

I have some thongs that are very comfy and others that are indeed devices of torture (need to just toss 'em out!) They really do vary a lot, depending on fabric, fit, cut, etc. I bought most of mine on sale from Victoria's Secret so wasn't always sure which ones would work for me when I purchased them. I wear them whenever I wear pants that will show VPL, but some pants don't, and then I'm always happy to wear regular undies.

I'd be interested in trying some of these jeans on, especially since I realized that my favorite and most flattering jeans that I own are actually my less expensive Banana Republic ones, not the more expensive lower rise Luckies.

On the underwear topic: Patagonia active hipsters and briefs hands down. HANDS DOWN.

Hah...if you fit banana republic jeans and patagonia hipsters, we definitely don't have the same shape.

I just spent some minutes thinking about what "VPL"could mean. It's "visible pants line", right?
I just had to have a look in the mirror if I can see my pants through my jeans gladly it never occurred to me worrying about this. What's so bad about others knowing that you ARE wearing underwear?
