I always tear open the packages in Target, hold the things up and think to myself, "Surely these will fit because my arse is not THAT large." Then I get them home, wash them, and POOF. I end up with another 6 pairs of panties that are too small for my rather ginormous rear end. I still can’t seem to buy underwear that fits.

One of the only things I learned. Well, that and how to make a pipe out a toilet paper roll.

And then that one day, you do order something different and you just want to kick yourself because it's nowhere near as good and why are you wasting your time on food that isn't FULLY KNOWN to be fabulous? Okay, that's not really the same, but kinda. In the not wanting to waste valuable time on bad stuff arena. Anyway. Undies like that are great for lounging, agreed. I admit, I have some too. You know where else they're great? Under skirts. That's all.

Let me tell you, I look forward to the days when those pairs of humungo panties end up at the top of the stack in my underwear drawer. I know that, no matter what else happens that day, at least my bottom will be comfortable! ~Elizabeth I went underwear shopping with my mom (don’t ask) about a year or so ago, and we accidentally went home with each other’s purchases– meaning I had a few pairs of granny panties.

You and my sister could be best friends. She is a big undie kinda gal and doesn't care who knows about it. (And she's adorable and beautiful just like you!)I've never been able to get into them myself, but I must admit that I cannot handle thongs anymore either now that I am running around after children 24 hours a day. Having something up my butt all the time just doesn't work with climbing around in the tubes at McDonald's or rolling around on the floor pretending to be eaten by dragons or whatever. You know what I mean. But...I am ALL about elastic waistbands. Gotta love those. PS Here is my post about "The Thong Conspiracy Theory" my husband has, if you want to check it out sometime. http://organicmotherhoodwithcoolwhip.com/subBlog.asp?bID=71 Hilarious!

I love that Aura loves lingerie! I used to exclusively wear satin nightgowns to bed as a child, preferably with a matching satin robe, and now I own nothing with marabou feathers, so you might be okay.

No briefs just yet (I mean, I do wear underwear silly) but definitely comfy cottony bras that Aura would not approve apparently. yeah, ever since being pregnant and wearing comfy underthings during that time, I am a changed woman.

How did you get that picture of me in the Santa gear? Seriously though, I have been aching and longing for a new bra. I'm really itching for something that doesn't show in EVERY outfit I wear. That said, I have no desire to go back to my pre-pregnancy thongs. Screw that, my butt needs to be covered. Hey! How did you get that picture of me in the Santa gear?
