Today I am totally wearing the wrong underwear.

It wasn't supposed to be like this. This morning when I was getting dressed, I pulled a cute tuquoise pair out of the drawer and paused for a moment. I remembered vaguely meaning to throw this pair out, but I couldn't remember why. They looked absolutely fine. And when I put them on they felt fine too so I figured I was probably mistaken. Maybe I meant a different teal pair. Whatevs..


So things are a go as I finish getting dressed and do my hair and grab some coffee and head out the door. On my drive to work, I forget completely about them. But pretty much as soon as I got to work I realized that this was, in fact the loathed pair. The pair whose waist elastic didnt really work and as such they roll all the way down past my nether regions and are basically only staying on because of the crotch of the pants I am wearing today. Super hot, right?

(Thank god I didn't wear a dress!)

And you know maybe I could take them off, and go commando. I'm not above doing this when times are tough...but the fact is that the black pants I am wearing have a persnickity zipper: 90% of the time it stays up with no problem. The other 10% I have an XYZ incident and need to make with the safety pins.

And no one wants to have that kind of incident when they are going commando.

(Would that be more of an XYC moment?)

I know what you are thinking right now, because I am thinking it myself...
I need to fucking buy some new clothes already! Before the inevitable day when I stand up at my desk and my entire outfit disintegrates.

All the safety pins in the world won't help me then!

I was out at dinner during restaurant week and had a similar thing happen and I WAS wearing a dress. I chose to do the classy thing and take them off and throw them in my purse. Obviously.

You could go commando and have the safety pin in place to prevent the 10% incident. And definitely throw that underwear out!

What is an XYZ incident? I don't think I've ever heard tht terminology before. I am being dumb?

Oh thank god I'm not the only one. I have several pair of fairly new underwear that I despise because they are WEDGIE-WEAR. They are not thongs, yet I end up with an entire pair of bloomers stuck you-know-where by the end of 10 minutes. It's enough to make a girl scream. Yet, I haven't thrown them out yet because...well, what a waste of money. They're cute and have hardly been worn (for obvious reasons). Woman, how about you + me for some panty shopping??? Then we'll throw all the old ones in a trash bag and call it a day.

NOTHING is worse than bad underwear. NOTHING.
