Pink Ginger Lingerie

My New Underwear is Rags

I’ve blogged before that my pup is eating my underwear. More than a week ago, I grabbed some new underwear from Pink Ginger and was in love. I felt sexy.

I felt so sexy that the next time I was in the mall, I bought more underwear. A big mall lingerie chain had a sale on: 10 pair for $25. Wow, what a deal, I thought. I can’t even come anywhere close to that when I buy my underwear at cost. This is my lucky day!

My twin 5 year old boys helped me pick out the prettiest underwear. “Mommy, you’ll look so pretty in these but do they have any with StarWars characters on them?” (No, they didn’t but if they did, that would probably turn on Brian beyond belief!)

I bought ten pair of underwear. I took them home and washed them immediately. (My nanny has a firm belief that they put so many chemicals on clothing that she won’t allow anyone to wear clothing before it has been washed.) I was so sad when I pulled my new underwear out of the wash. It wasn’t quite rags, but it certainly didn’t look anything like it did when I first bought it.

I’ve been buying my underwear in here for a while now and most of it, the ones the dog hasn’t eaten, still look good. I talk about quality all the time, and I hear from people that the L stores don’t have good quality, but I had to really try it for myself.

I’m not out to knock those stores. They provide an okay product at an okay price. I get that not everyone wants to pay $6 - $32 on underwear. However, after my recent experience, I won’t do the cheap thing again. It just isn’t worth it for me.

My sexy went to sad. The good news is that I now have ‘period panties’ again.
