Please tell me to throw out my underwear!!!

You don't have to throw them out. Just STOP WEARING THEM!

Ill-fiting underwear makes our clothes fit less well too. You think no one can tell because they can't see them but put on well-fitting underwear and your pants and dresses will look 100% better on  you!

 I got tired of pulling those big undies out of my crack.  If it could have been entered into Myfitnesspal as exercise, I would have continued.

I travel a lot.  Bikini  undies are heck of smaller than big panties!  I love that I can do two weeks in Europe with a carry-on post op!   Life is good.

Thanks everyone, all your answers together helped me devise a plan of action.  I'm going to start with the oldest ones and throw them out, then a wait a week to see if I have the courage to throw any more of them away.  If I throw a few away, and it goes well, then I'm thinking I'll be able to throw the rest away.


Lee, I asked my husband what he thought about the situation and he said, and I quote "I would like to put those old undies through a paper shredder and shred them, I hate them."

Wow, I had no idea my husband hated them.  It didn't say a word about it, till I asked!!!!

And yes, I have to big of a drawer designated for undies!!!  LOL

Anne-I googled the Hanky Panky panties, and they are sooo cute!!!!  Way cuter than my old over-sized underwear!!!!!

Elina- I see what you mean about feeling better in the new panties.  I feel so much better in them.  It's like going from baggy old sweat pants, to a pair a great fitting jeans.  I had not realized it though, until you pointed it out.  Thanks! 

Diane-I'm also running out of room and it's getting frustrating to find the new ones in the sea of old ones.  I'm going to downsize.......and then see how it goes.  I have a couple of coats that I have not been able to part with as well.  I wore one this winter and ALL MY FRIENDS kept pointing it out to me.  I didn't realize it was THAT obvious!  Just the other day I bravely threw out my bras.  I've had a breast reduction 4 months ago and there is no way those babies will ever fit again!

Kathy-I'm going to take it slow, you are right that they are a source of comfort...I'm going to throw some out tonight though and see how I feel.  I'm in shock that this is such an issue.  It reminds me of the show "hoarder's" and helps me understand a little bit about how they feel about their stuff. 

Foxbins- I LOVE your layering idea!!!!!!  If throwing several out at a time is to much, I'll throw one out at a time, very good idea.  As I typed that, I actually felt pain.  I pictured throwing one pair out...and felt pain.....OH MY!  This is going to be hard.

Pure Avida- I don't have the guts for thongs....LOL....however, I have seen how my big panties are very unflattering!

Carol- You too?  We're so funny!!!!  I'm glad I am not the only one.....

Leah-I like your idea of throwing them out as I buy new ones.  I'll have to work on being that strong.

Mac-OK....I'll stop wearing them....they're horrible!!

Lee-HA HA HA HA HA....yes, I believe it's time to submitt an exercise into MFP!!  You are right about the carry on bag.  I can't believe how much less space my clothes take up!!!!!!!  iT'S AN AWESOME NSV!!!!

It's funny my hubby and I were discussing this earlier today. I threw away almost all my old granny panties. However I did buy some in a size 7 brief style which he hates. I am slowly buying new pairs even some thongs which I bought at Kohl's on the clearance rack for next to nothing (0.80-2.40/pair). I put on a new pair of boyshorts today. Hubby said are those new? I replied yes. He said I like those, any by the way no man likes to see his woman in their grandma panties.

Boy shorts are great because they keep the panus in check!

 Lol took me a while got use to Victoria secret super sexy thongs but the past couple of weeks I've hated them all so been going commando no panties at all lol kinda embarrassed but I like it so freeing lol dump the drawers
