Quest for the Holy Grail: best undies

[grey]

I can relate as I was just looking at undies in TJMaxx and Ross earlier today. I just want cotton most days. How hard is it to get cotton, in a nice cut, without a bunch of frilly lace added or bows or in oddball colors you can never hide save in jeans?

I usually give up and buy hanes in a three-pack. LOL.

But sometimes, you want something a little prettier. Victoria's Secret used to be good stuff - I had a bra from there for 10 years - wearing it every week - and it was still doing a good job and not overly embarrassing. My more recent purchases from there in the past four years I've either sent back, or they died within a year.

I like Le Mystere thongs (they make other styles) and the good old Hanky Panky, one size fits all thongs and hipsters. I know we've had discussions about thongs before, but you might want to check out these brands. Usually, you have to go to a lingerie store to buy them. I have found that underwear, like bike things, tend to fit better and last longer when they are professionally recommended and fit.

I've had great luck finding CK undies at TJ Maxx.

Grey, you and me both! I really like Soma Intimates' Signature Cotton undies. I've found them to both fit better and last longer than my Hanes. They're normally more expensive, but a good sale takes care of that.
