Victoria's Secret "V-String."
Shopping for intimate apparel, believe it or not, is not something I enjoy doing.
Jeans, dresses, accessories, handbags, perfume, make-up, shoes... I enjoy all of that. But bras? No.
I find that whenever I step foot into a lingerie shop, I feel like the sales associates are just too aggressive. They want to show you the latest, most expensive lace thingie... When all you want is a new bra. A simple one. Nothing fancy. It just turns me off. As a consumer, I hate dealing with sales associates that work on commission.
But yesterday, I decided time to pick up a new bra. One in my collection is just worn out... So it's time. And while out, I decided to stop in Victoria's Secret to check out the new Biofit bras.
As I was digging through the colors available in my size (which, I have to complain about for a second... It seems like once you hit a certain size, they only carry boring colors. Also, once you hit a certain size, you don't need padding or any push-up material. It seems like VS only carries bras that push you up, no matter what size you are...), the sales associate came up to me and offered me a card for a free panty.
"If you buy one of the Biofit bras, you get the free panty," she explained.
I thanked her and thought, "Hey! Who couldn't use a new pair of panties?"
So I went up to the front to pay for my bra and collect my free panty. It was called the "V-string," which I (to be honest) I didn't like the sound of. And my instinct proved right.
I got a panty that looked like this on the front...
And came with a backside "coverage" of this...
Seriously, when the hell am I ever going to wear something like this? It DOES NOT look comfortable. I mean, I am all for getting rid of the VPLs in society... But this is ridiculous. And even though I got this baby for free, want to know how much Victoria's Secret wants to charge for it at full price???
They want you to pay $16.00 for it!
I just don't understand what you would be paying for at that price... It's mostly string with a patch of unbreathable polyester/lycra blend.
It looks like it would give you an infection.
I am thinking about making a fancy eye patch out of it. Or maybe a hair scrunchie. Or even a fabric cuff bracelet. But if anyone else has any ideas as to what I should do with it, feel free to leave a comment. I am open to non-perverse suggestions.

I've never quite gotten thongs or the like -- I forget who I first saw describe them as "butt floss", but I think it's a pretty decent description. And I REALLY don't get panty liners for thongs!!! (yes, such things are available)
I agree, boy shorts are the way to go!
