    Hi Ladies!

    So, I'm in need of new underwear, and I'm not sure where else to look other than Victoria's Secret. My problem with that, though, is that all of my current underwear is from them, and it's all started falling apart! Literally, the seams are all ripping, the lining is falling out, etc, and I haven't had them for very long.

    So, where can I go to get cute, comfortable underwear that won't be ruined in two washes? Any ideas?

    Totally try hanky pankies. They are one size fits all and absolutely AMAZING. No panty lines yet feel like PJs!! Though they are a bit expensive at $15 a pop. I would totally only have all HP if I had the budget!

    As long as my dog doesn't get to them, my VS underwear holds up really well.  I've also bought underwear from American Eagle that has held up well.

    I gotta say, everything I have bought from VS falls apart.  Even the yoga pants. :(

    That's strange - all of my stuff from VS has lasted me forever! I really like Aerie's underwear too, though!

    Hanky Panky is super cute I get mine from Nordstrom.  My VS also fall apart that why I buy at least 5 a month ;-)

    Hanky Panky! Got mine from Anthro, so comfy and last forever, although they're a bit big for me. (I don't believe that one size fits all crap!)

    I'm probably too old for them but I love VS Pink undies!  They're adorable and super comfy!  I say I'm too old for them because I'm usually shoving 14 year olds out of the way to get to the cheeky section :p

    I like stuff from VS Pink and Gap Body. I'm quite set in my ways in the underwear department.

    I love gap body! But it's kinda expesnive for me. I have cotton undies from VS, but I also love the undies from target- they have cute and cheap ones that are comfy- and I feel like I get my money's worth. The also have the lace thongs like VS and they hold up pretty well for lacey stuff, no panty lines. I just try not to put them in the dryer by accident too often. Fredericks used to carry these lace boy shorts- the cameron style, I think- they probably still have them online, or an updated version in the store, but they were the only boyshorts I ever wore, super comfy, and not too pricey!

    Check out barenecessities.com.  They have a pretty wide selection!

     

    I feel like VS rides off its name and uses that as an excuse to make lower-quality stuff than you'd expect at that price point.  Calvin Klein makes stuff for the same prices and it last WAY longer and is much more comfortable, in my opinion, and also I think it tends to be a lot more tasteful.
