Yeah, in this blog, I'm going to touch on underwear that us ladies wear.
Men, if you do not wish to read this, please pass it by.
For the last two years, I've been wearing the same size 13 underwear from Jenny's Just My Size. I have gotten more packages of size 13 underwear from Jenny's Just My Size at Wal Mart, two more to add to my declining amount of underwear. I have three underwear left from three dozen undies. The reason why? They were all size 10 which I wore since 1998, but no longer fit my waist, hips or butt. I tossed them out in 2007 and got size 12 in Jenny's JMS till the year 2012 when I noticed that size 12's no longer fit me comfortably anymore they were extremely snug to where if I sat down, they would split or rub my legs till they were red and sore, mainly they would rub me red and sore. So I get the size up which is size 13.
I go about opening my new undies, flap them to get the wrinkles out and to check them all out to make sure that there are no rips, tears or any other defect that they may have missed. I place them on my bed and I immediately know that there is a big difference to the sizes. They say that they're a size 13 for people sized 30. That's what it says on the packages. I wear pants size 30. I'm not thin or lightly chubby, but I weigh around 267 pounds. Yes, I am a heavy woman, not proud of my weight but that's a topic for another time. I looked at the underwear on my bedspread and I know something is off in the sizes. I grab one of my three underwear that I know fits me comfortably. I lay it down on the bed and then placed one of the new pairs on top of it for size comparison. I immediately know right then and there that what I have in my hands is not size 13 underwear, but a misprinted set of size 10 underwear. Each one is given the size test to find that each one from both new packages are not size 13 but size 10. There is like about two inches of fabric missing from each one. I repackage them and return them to Wal Mart and tell them that they are returned for being two sizes too small as they claim that they are size 13, when they are not as I wear a size 13 and they do not fit me comfortably but extremely tight to where I cannot sit without ripping them open.
I have decided to go to a size 14 since that might give me the right size as I do not want to go to the specialty bra and underwear stores as they will charge you $40 for one single underwear. I don't want to buy almost three hundred dollars worth of underwear only to have about 7 pairs of underwear. That's a car payment and at least a tank of gas!
I just learned that Jenny's Just My Size is now discontinuing the underwear that I have loved for the last twenty some years. I might just have to take apart one of my underwear that I like add about four inches all around and sow my own underwear myself. The one thing that I do not like about that option is that I don't have a sewing machine nor do I know how to sow by using a sewing machine or by needle and thread. I guess the bottom line is that I better start learning how to.
