I May Never Shop Victoria Secret Again

   This post is just for the ladies. My experience is pregnancy-specific, but it can be a useful tip to any woman who likes undergarments. I have always been a Victoria Secret girl. I have the Angels Reward Platinum card. 'Nuff said. Although I use my share of coupons and "Semi-annual sale" deals, I have seen a new light.

   While my bump is ever-expanding, I need some ::cough:: larger, belly friendly waistline undies. I absolutely refuse to go the beige, granny panty route from a superstore. But I don't think dumping a lot of money in lingerie in a size I only need temporarily is a good move either. I did visit Victoria once, a few weeks ago when I first realized I was miserable in my current undies. I only bought a few pairs. When all of those made their way to the laundry, I broke down again.

   As much as I hate the store Ross - for the way it smells and the quality of people that frequent it and the massive dissaray the clothing is always in - I remembered seeing a decent size lingerie section in there and thought to check it out. At first, I didn't believe it....name brand undies like Jessica Simpson, XOXO, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger for $1-3 per pair! I spent at least 30 minutes disecting the clothing racks in this department. I was on a mission for super-stretch comfy waistbands with enough butt coverage to keep me from fidgeting with ass-creepage on my expanding rump. Success. I found 16 pairs, half sporty/comfy and half of them silky/sexy...for Ian's sake, lol.

   As a price comparison, if I had gone to Victoria Secret and taken advantage of their famous "5 for $25" deal, 15 pairs would have cost me $75. But at this new honey hole, I got 16 pairs for $46.39!! And they are name brand, attractive and comfortable.
