i have just bought a 5 pack after complaining for yrs about the state of my knickers...
so now when i throw out a pair i go and by another pair.. i usually just by them from the supermarket as its easier to just chuck them it with my shopping
i tend to find a style i like and just go with them - but it takes a long time to find them so i only buy one at a time until i'm happy. i found some when i first started uni, back in 1997 that i just can't bare to part with - they were only $2 a pair and i loved (and still love) them. i think they'll have to go in the bin post partum though - they're starting to get thread bare but the elastic is still good!
i have some i got from undercoverwear that i loved at the time,but now my body has decided that it doesn't like anything synthetic so i get rash from them - damn shame as they're comfy! so now i have to find new ones somewhere - and when you're a bigger girl that doesn't like wearing granny knickers, that's damn hard to do!
I buy undies whenever I notice that the dog has hauled too many pairs out of the laundry hamper and chewed holes in the crotch lol... I'm a real cheapskate when it comes to underwear, I only like cotton briefs (I will spend anywhere up to $300 on a gorgeous bra, and I usually buy the matching panties, but then I never wear the undies because they're uncomfy!!) and I hate spending money on something that just keeps my bum covered, so I buy the 'bulk' packs from Big W or Kmart (you know, the 7 or 10 pairs for around $10?). The brands I buy have their sizing in '8-10' or '10-12' etc so I know if I buy the 10-12 they're gonna fit okay.
I used to buy Bonds undies but they're just so expensive these days, I'm one of those people who figures I'd rather fork out $10 every few months, than $20 once or twice a year hahaha... low-quality doesn't worry me, it's only underpants!
DH is a pain in the neck though, he never wore undies until recently (the zipper on his work pants broke and he was like, 'Thank God I'm at home, that would have been REALLY embarrassing if I'd been at work... can you buy me some undies next time you go shopping?'), and he wants quality, good looks and comfort (which usually equals $$$$$). He bought some Dolce & Gabbana trunks (like, those boyleg things? Tight but with legs on them instead of briefs?) and liked them, so now I buy that style, but men's underwear is sooooo expensive.
i have so many pairs of knickers in my drawer.. but only about 5 pairs i actually wear!
i have a lot of g-strings (you know the really really little ones) that just dont do it for me anymore!! i prefer my bonds boy legs, and a couple of seamless g-strings that i want more of!
when pg with DD, i just bought a packet of about 12 flowery granny type undies to wear after birth.. i used about 6 pairs and threw them out, and recently found the other half-pack which i guess will do me this time around!!
i tend to buy them when its tax time, and i actually go shopping for myself for clothes, shoes etc
DP loves the 'just boxers' from best & less... i think about $5 a pair... they usually come at xmas & birthdays for him!
