The Cheap Underwear Solution to Over-priced Jockey French Cuts

Oh, you know you come here for all the best advice.  This is for people who love French Cut Jockey undies, but don’t want to pay for the Jockey name.  I was going to say “last month, I discovered…”, but I realized that last month was October, and since I was shopping for new undies for my birthday, that would’ve been August.  Just where does time go, I say, where?  Anyway, back to underwear.  I love new underwear, but I don’t like frilly Victoria’s Secret stuff because I’m not a perfect size 3, and I don’t find it the slightest bit comfortable.  Pretty, yes.  But now that I’m not showing off my underwear to every passing boy or girl (like I ever did), I’m all about the comfort.  For years, the most comfortable and durable underwear has been Jockey French Cut.  I’m tired of paying $6.00 for a single pair.  So, I saw some Fruit of the Loom undies with the low low price of $4.50+ (can’t remember the exact price), and you get eight pairs!  Eight!  It’s the regular ol’ pack of six, but with two extras jammed into the package.  They’re not nearly as sturdy as Jockey, but they fit exactly the same (some of the patterned ones are a little snugger for some reason), and at less than a dollar each, they’re almost disposable.  So, those of us who don’t have Helly’s mom to buy us dozens of pairs of undies (size 7, French Cut, thanks) and you’re looking for cheap comfy undies, try the Fruit of the Loom Hi-Cuts at Target.  And if I’m wrong, well, you have some underwear that you can wear on wash day.

   mom

   BTW- did she tell you about your twin?  Last time I was en route to the Hellhole, a couple (older guy/younger gal) in a convertible with top down, passed me - the woman looked just like the pictures I’ve seen of you!  Same spiky hair and all.  I yelled, “Hi Flippy” and waved but they ignored me. 

   heh heh

2. Wow, my twin is rude.  Everyone should be honored to respond to “Flippy”.  Maybe she was on a secret mission - she’s been watching a lot of “Chuck” on tv lately.

   I used to have three pairs of the prettiest pink & black undies, in various designs, from Victoria’s secret, but they were only pretty if worn while remaining in one position - standing up & standing still.  I probably still have them somewhere, as a reminder to never buy underwear (or shall I call them panties…or lingerie?) only for looks ever again.  My biggest complaint about Jockeys are the boring colors & patterns.  I don’t know why they can’t combine pretty *and* comfy.

3. Mikey, I still prefer Jockey, bikinis, size 6.  I’ll do anything to give you an excuse to go shopping… I’m always thinking of others
