I really need new underwear. The ones I have I bought after my youngest was born. He will be 5 in April I just hate to spend money on undies!!! No one sees them anyway. I am definitely not out to impress my dh of 23 years. We are way past that. I don't have problems spending money on other things (though I don't spend very freely), but I just can't justify buying new underwear for myself! Anyone else with me in the weird character flaw?

I'm the same way!!! I'm so bad that "Santa" brought me 3 packs of socks in my stocking, not even fun socks, just normal sport socks (I think Dh was trying to tell me something). Thank goodness there weren't big ole cotton undies in there too, I'm terrible about buying undies, I just never remember and like you said, no one sees them anyway!

Yep I'm with you there!! I also hate to buy new underwear beacuse they never make the same ones when I'm ready to buy! It's not like you can wear it around the house and take it back if you don't like it!

I havent bought underwear in about five years plus. I know one reason is I do not want to see what size underwear I actually am. Even though the old ones (you know the ones with not much elastic left) say size 5, I know for a fact that I am not anymore.

I've got undies that I have had for way more than 5 years, but I do have some newer. I very rarely buy undies. Just don't see the point.

Too funny! My underwear character flaw is exactly the opposite - I LOVE them! Can't be trusted in VS and definitely shouldn't be allowed in there without a chaperone

After five years aren't they getting holey? Isn't the elastic stretched way out? I must be hard on my panties cuz i don't think i could go five years without new ones. Don't even get me started on the period inflicted ones.

GO BUY YOURSELF SOME NEW PANTIES!!!! I'm sure you could get cheap ones from K-mart or Walmart!!!!

I bought mine the year my dd was born too, in 2000! But I got them from Landsend and they still look new (12% spandex). I love Landsend.

Wasen't There alot Of Freebie panty Offers this past yr. ?

I Know I Got At least 3 pairs. I think they were Hanes.

Other than that I shop the clearance racks at Target and walmart! I don't over buy , Just Enough so I Don't go too long without any new ones!

Nothing Feels better than New Panties and Bras!! I know Not many people see them - They still make me feel better.
