Underwear

<p>Got to love it! So I am in need of new panties. Boy they can be pricey! I like plain bikini mostly cotton underwear, nothing fancy.</p>

<p>I used to buy Victoria Secret cotton underwear but the quality got so bad I stopped. Then I bought Soma vanishing edge and did not like them. They have these plastic grippers and tmi I know but they made me sweat and they itched. Also they did not wash up very well. So I bought barely there cotton panties and really liked them but they don’t make that style anymore.</p>

<p>So wear do you buy, plain cotton underwear which stays put and doesn’t cost a fortune. You would think this easy but everything I’ve looked at seems to be microfiber.</p>

<p>Jockey makes a nice cotton bikini. Great quality. Not cheap.</p>

<p>Might like Costco. Seriously that’s where many of the females in our extended family buy their underwear. Macy’s also has some.</p>

<p>I’ve gotten Vanity Fair 95%cotton/5%spandex at Kohl’s. I usually buy them when they’re on sale (frequently) and I have Kohl’s bucks to spend.</p>

<p>I get some things at REI. Synthetic, but maybe what I think you are calling microfiber?, you can wash it in the sink & dry by morning.

I get cotton things at Costco. Bikinis & bra camisoles.</p>

<p>I buy mine at TJMaxx (or Marshalls - they are the same). </p>

<p>I also used to buy at VS, but experienced the same decline in quality as you.</p>

<p>Good lord! $48 for a pair of granny pants!!</p>

<p>You and I don’t know what we are missing. One of the reviewers would wear them everyday if they had enough pairs.</p>

<p>I wish I knew of a good place to find mens underwear that I liked. H has a smallish waist (29) and usually the smallest size is 30 & even that is hard to find.
I suggested he shop where Jon Hamm does.
He won’t go for it.</p>

<p>Emerald,
That made me laugh! I am much more particular about DH underwear than he could ever be!</p>

12

<p>I laughed also. Ek that was great. I once bought H underwear at nordstrom, the store brand. Best underwear I ever bought for him.</p>

13

<p>I have bought Soma vanishing edge and I like them but they don’t last. The sales person told me not to put them in the dryer, which I don’t but they still come apart. Thing is that the edge truly does disappear when you wear them which is nice under fitted clothes.</p>

14

<p>I think that the vanishing edge on the Soma underwear feels weird also. I really don’t like them. They have another line which I like very much, but I have no idea what that line is called. Let me see if I can find out.</p>

15

<p>I like the Soma Travelers, high cut. Avoid the dryer, but otherwise, they hold up quite well.</p>

16

<p>Second Vanity Fair at Kohls. They last forever.</p>

17

<p>Try Penneys and Sears. But I prefer a band leg, etc - can’t see elastic around legs. Good for you for choosing cotton.</p>

<p>H also has trouble with being slim- different brands use different measurements for their smallest size boxers- some day need to get rid of the brand that runs bigger and buy more of the smaller waist ones. 28" waist, and past 60 I doubt he’ll ever gain enough weight to fit most men’s sizes.</p>

<p>Another Vanity Fair fan.</p>

<p>“Men’s small” is nominally for 28-30" waist – but with vanity sizing, and the general increase in waistlines over the years, finding properly fitting clothing for skinny or fit men can be difficult.</p>
