I had a coupon for some free panties from Victoria’s Secret. So I got some.
They are supposed to be those no-panty line, low rise kind. I think they are the Body line. Smooth. No seams. Nice looking.
But.
Why do they not stay down on my cheeks? If they stayed down, I could see how they would prevent panty lines.
But the current arrangement? Not so much. If I wanted a thong, I would have purchased one.
Now, they are all bunched up, not arranged properly and, I’m sure causing major lines. Plus, they are in a state of constantly needing to be rearranged.
So, what am I doing wrong? I don’t think I’ve ever purchased a pair of $12 panties before. Why do they keep creeping up? And not staying down.
Help,
The woman with her panties in a bunch….literally.
PS I’m sure you didn’t want to know all this…but seriously, these aren’t comfortable.

You know, I have an issue with VS panties too. Granted it has been since I have had babies and got a bigger butt (but we know THAT can't be it). The top falls down too much. So the top of the panties is in like the middle of my tooshie. Hmmmm, it is a conspiracy to make us feel horrible about ourselves and buy something to make us feel pretty!
I used to love VS panties….but lately they have changed the cut of them, and they do the same thing to me. I told the lady at the store when i returned them, and she said a lot of people have been saying that. I hope they go back to the old cut soon!
12 dollar panties? dude i am so not cool enough for those. thank goodness they were free!
here's hoping the rest of your day is less bunchy
Hehehehe…thanks for the lunch time giggle.
Maybe you got a dud pair?
LOL!! something wrong with them cause it couldn't be you!!!:)

I've heard that if you spray hair spray on your butt, the underwear will stay in place. Apparently, this is what beauty pageant contestants do all the time. Spray their butt. With hair spray.
Size? I am not sure. I always buy their 5/$25 pairs.
I am going to get my free pair this weekend. I was hoping they would work.
Well I'll just have to wait and see.
In the meantime we will all turn our heads so you can dig away!
I have some free coupons saved up for VS, too….and suffer the same problems. But they're free, so you have to get them, right? Can't pass up something free.
I agree with someone above who said VS has changed the quality of their skivvies. They're just not teh same anymore. Boo.
On another note, thank you for stopping by & visiting my blog. About to follow you now!
Oh my gosh, this post made me giggle. I'm sorry you're having troubles there, friend. Hope someone else can help you out. Me? I got my faves from Walmart. So chic, no?
maybe their too big – or too small… or just plain suck?
Nothing worse then uncomfortable undies!

i got the free coupon too! i am totally not getting them after that review…i definitely don't want any bunching!
I loathe VS! You should try Soma Intimates for panties. They have this pair of vanishing edge panties that actually do stay in place and have no panty lines!

I used to work there and those panties are the worst if you're going to shop at VS go with the regular cotton bikinis or the pink cotton bikinis brand (low rise) I'm in love with them. I wore them my entire pregnancy and beyond so comfy!
I am a fan of their pink line….but other then that, that is about it! But I am still going to get the free ones, because well…they are free!

It sounds to me that they're the ones doing something wrong! That sounds really uncomfortable…poor thing!
xo
You know I never got past the VS cotton panties. With those they do ride up if they are too big. Thank goodness you didn't pay for all the discomfort!
Personally I'm over VS and think it's crap. Try Soma. It's awesome and their vanishing panties actually work and stay in place. They are about the same price as VS but have pretty decent sales.
Sounds like you need a small size. I have had this issue with VS before too. I purchased a smaller size and all is well in panty-ville.
