Question:
Ladies Only: Having trouble finding panties...

:) Let's see...how do I word this? I've always worn "sexy" lingerie, even at my heaviest. I'm now at this weird, in-between size. My favorite panties are the lace, full front coverage thong panties (cheeky lace thongs & stretch lace thongs). I used to find them at Avenue & Lane Bryant. However, their smallest sizes in these panties are 14/16's. Gladly, these are too large on me now. They don't "hug" my hips like they're supposed to. So I decided to shop at regular stores for these styles. THEY don't have them in sizes big enough for my booty. Where (besides online since I can't "size" those with my own eyes) can I find these in-between sizes? Maybe like 10/12's? Any advice you ladies might have would be greatly appreciated!    — Amy A.

I have found them at Fashion Bug Plus and Deb shop plus in the Philadelphia area.

Fashion bug has really cute ones...but UNDERWEAR sizes are different than what they use at lane bryant. For example, I am in a size 11 panty from fashion bug, but I wear a size 24 in clothes. On some packages of panties they give sizing charts, to give you an idea of what you need.

Original Poster here: Thanks you guys! I did check Wal-Mart and they carry plenty of larger sizes but NO sexy panties in larger sizes. Fashion Bug sounds interesting. I looked them up in our local yellow pages and found a couple of them not too far away! I'll be shopping this afternoon! Thanks again...Amy

Get a ROMAN's catalog - also connected with Lane Bryant. I just got one this weekend and they had some panties you might like and I think they go all the way down to 10's and 12's. I'll check again tonight when I go home and if it is a different catalog i'll e-mail you. Good Luck! YOU GO GIRL! Hugs, Hugs AND MORE Hugs!

Cato usually has some larger underwear and bra sets. You could try there!

Amy, I have what might me a cheap solution to your problem. I used to do quite a bit of sewing and I know that it would be "sew" easy to just take some inches off those panties. If you don't sew, try to find a local seamstress. A good place to start would be with a fabric store in your area.

I have recently bought some cute ones at Target. They have some bigger sizes, up to a 10 maybe. I find that underwear, like clothes, vary in sizes and am having trouble deciding what size to buy.

Original Poster Again: Allison...great idea but I don't know any seamstresses "intimately" enough to take my thong panties to! :) However, at lunchtime today I ran over to the Fashion Bug. They have some great clothes!! Sizes from 12 & up along with another section of the store that goes from regular sizes up to 14. I found some quite lovely thong lace panties AND they were on sale 4 for $18. One pair at Lane Bryant/Avenue runs about $16-18 so this is quite a bargain! I'm very pleased...The ones that fit were a size 9 plus. I just love this site and love every one of you for taking the time to help me out.
