| boyshort briefs Penningtons $14 |
The all over print briefs from Penningtons are pretty and wear well however I find they are often cut short in the rise. Made from 100% cotton, they breathe well.

Jockey has
been making underwear for over a century, what you purchase once you can be
assured will be what you will purchase again and again. I like their Elance
(100% combed cotton) brief and having been wearing a size 9 but see myself edging up to a 10. At $12
for a single pair, or $30 they are not inexpensive however the Sears retail
stores often have them 40% off.
Occasionally I have found the multipacks in great colours and
prints. http://www.sears.ca/product/jockey-3-pack-of-elance-briefs/618-000068262-7448_4_WHITE_4_100
Should you
be able to find them, coordinating briefs to match a special bra are fun. It is a scavenger hunt to find your size in
top and bottom so I just colour match.
Infrequently, Winners have Delta Burke undies in sizes 9 and 10 at a
fraction of the original price. I have
scored several of these and they are lovely. If you want to try exciting, colourful undies browse the on line stores. However I am too cheap to pay shipping and want to shop local.

| Wonder Bra $14.99 |
That is it
for covering the bottom, now how about shaping?
When I was younger, and much smaller, I did not leave home without my
girdle! The closest I would come to
that in the last twenty years are the control panty; smooth’s, shapes and provides
tummy control they are usually 90% Nylon/ 10% Lycra spandex. No breathing here. Women wanting more control chose a Firm
support brief. The Glamorise features” extra-wide
waistband shaper with inner tummy panel for firm control, Innovative moisture
control keeps you dry & comfortable all day”. That wide waist band would be
rolled right down around my fat tummy!
When a young
woman I know started to find that there was more of her than there was of her
clothing she purchased a body shaper.
These suck one in and flatten you out and are available in a price range
starting at $60 up to several hundred dollars.
Shape wear is sold by size and cup size and the range available in large
cups has certainly improved. Most plus
size women will want to wear one for those times you want to look a wee bit
trimmer, or the favorite garment that highlights every flaw. http://www.1-plus.com/plus-size-Intimates-Shapewear/PE-Intimates-Shapewear,default,sc.html

| Grenier $129.99 |
You can try these on at a retail store,
again Sears is good. Do not expect this to be a fun experience! My choice for a heavy duty garment is Grenier’s Back-Support Briefelette at $
129.99. It features a zip up front which
aids in dressing. And I will not say
anything about the joys of opening and closing the snaps at your crotch! A word to the wise, do not let your crotch
strap dangle down into the flush. http://www.sears.ca/stores/shop/search?Dx=mode%2bmatchall&Ntt=shape+wear
Always
purchase the best under wear you can afford and find. When you learn what works
for you be proactive and buy when it is on sale. Treat your undies kindly
- wash on gentle or hand wash
- use cold or warm water and mild soap
- use under wear bags (often available at the Dollar Store)
- always hand dry undies.
- And never wear a bra two days in a row.
