HOW HEALTHY ARE BOY SHORTS FOR WOMEN?

Because those things are embarrassingly hot.

Check Q&A.

I dunno, all this thread did was make me hate my body more.

Ladies, ladies. I'm not making this thread in order to get you to hate your body any more than you might already do. I'm making this to inform you that there are reasons why our bodies sag, and a lot of them come from crappy underwear and bra manufactures. Eventually, as I get more info into this, I'll put in methods to reduce/reverse sag by not only choosing the right underwear for your body, but some helpful tips I've picked up at the Jesus-Lace underwear store, Maruko.


And Xippy, if you gain a large amount of weight in a short amount of time and are wearing a bra that's not as supportive as it should be, it will create more sag than it would if you were wearing a very supportive bra. Yeah, such a weight fluctuation would cause sag either way, but the right bra could lessen the amount of sag.

xD Yeah, but this was when we were in our early to mid twenties.

I've never liked thongs. I bought one and it was hideously uncomfortable and I spent the entire day constantly picking it out of my asscrack.

I don't wear panties. Does this mean my butt will sag and nobody will find me attractive because of my freakishly deformed backside and I will be socially ostracized because having my a** meet my thighs at anything less than a perfect 45 agree angle is quite possible the worst thing that could happen? Because when you form all of your sentences with "should" it sure as hell feels that way.

I understand there are definitely helpful, sometimes essential undergarments, seeing as there are women are are literally in PAIN, or definite discomfort, unless they have good supportive bras, but the way your first section lays out your thread, it feels like the rest of your post is going to be about stuffing your body into various sausage-tube encasings to ensure that we occupy the smallest amount of space possible with our newly pert, socially acceptable bodies. Because supporting my butt, my tummy, my thighs etc. with shapers isn't about resolving comfort issues, it's about maintaining an certain image. I'm not in pain because my thighs or butt aren't gravity-defying. While I understand the purpose of your thread wasn't make people feel more self-conscious about their bodies than they do, that doesn't mean it didn't happen anyway to most of the ladies who showed up here.

I'm not saying you won't be found sexy or attractive if you don't follow this thread to the letter. I'm making this thread as a way for the ladies in the guild who are unhappy with their bodies and would like to look into ways to change their bodies without having to resort to fad diets, liposuction and breast reductions. If you feel comfortable as you are, that's fine. Not like I'm gonna come through the computer screen and force-shove you into a girdle. Plus, if you get stuff that is the right size, girdles and such shouldn't cause any discomfort anyway. You might actually feel better/lighter on your feet because of it.
And I'm TOTALLY not going to push people to wear sausage-casing underwear because that would COMPLETELY undermine what I'm trying to tell people here. Trying to fill your body into the smallest size possible actually causes more damage than it does good. D:

But seriously, if you want to follow the advice in this thread is totally personal preference. If you read this and say "******** that. Too much work. Not for me; I'm fine as I am." That's fine. If you read this and go "Huh. I never knew that. That explains a lot. I'mma have to try that out" then by all means, try it out! See if it works for you.

If I'm coming off as arrogant or "You must do this or else!" I apologize. That is not what I'm trying to convey here. I want this to be more of a help thread and educational for women in the guild.

well yes it's what girls do, Edge dearest.
