Don't get your Panties in a Bunch

Panties. Yes, I did say it.  Panties.  I hate them.  They are a source of a lot of discomfort for me.  No, I don't go commando.  I leave that to Sharon Stone.  Me, well, I think I have a different type of bum.  Since I was a little kid, I have always gotten wedgies.  My dad used to constantly ask me, "are you going to the movies?"....I truly did not get the joke until I was older and realized he was referring to me "picking my seat".  Badumbum!  Recently I have lost some weight and am having more pantie issues.  I wear tight exercise pants and now with less bum to fill the underwear, I am finding they bunch up at the sides giving me a crinkled look under my pants.  I am constantly pulling them up.  And these were the underwear that I liked.  It takes a lot for me to get underwear.  There are simply too many to choose from.  I hate shopping at the best of times and when it's time to get my underwear I am easily overwhelmed.  I got these good ones at Joe Fresh - even cute orange ones with polka dots (love them) - but now having lost weight, they are too loose.  I have a drawer full of bad underwear and yet I cannot part with them.  I have the bunch that I bought that were too small on me last year.  I am thinking I should try them again soon.  I also have the ever so popular Costco pack.  I hated these...but again, I have them in my drawer and so they get worn.  I hate bending over and having them crawl up my back to say hello to the cute guy behind me at the grocery store.  I even have the pair that I wore on my wedding day - yes, they are 16 years old and ratty - but they are from my wedding and again, just can't let go - even tho they are never worn.  I have the cute boy underwear style that I enjoyed but now the elastics are going on them, same with my bikini Haines.  I hate that we can't try them on before we buy them and once purchased, you can't return them.   I could buy the nice ones where you buy one of each, but I am too cheap for that and want value for my buck so I buy the larger packages.  It just means, I have more ill fitting underwear filling my drawer in the hopes that maybe one day they'll fit me right.  I am more aware of the underwear problem now because my ass is shrinking and I have noticed a couple times getting my butt checked out when walking by the weights at the gym.  How un-sexy to see gimped up underwear on a becoming-more-tight- ass.  I used to be paranoid when I got wedgies - but now that Rafael Nadal has made wedgie picking a sport in the tennis world, I feel less self-conscious.  I should just crumble and go and buy some more, but I am scared.  What's the point really....they probably won't work, my tummy may hang over them, they may ride up the back of my jeans, I may be picking my seat all the time....so I just don't bother.   I may have to give in soon and just go to Zellers' already....I just wish it didn't have to be so hard.  My life with underwear truly is a pain in the ass.
