Wedgie everywhere….!!! All in favor of comfortable underwear, say “Aye!!”
When it comes to underwears, I usually have only two major criterias: comfortable & colorful. I need it comfortable because my butt cheeks are worth it, darn it!. They deserve to be clothed and adorned in only the most comforable piece of attire, something fit for royalty…in a Hanes package, of course. It has to be colorful because, well, even though my butt cheeks do not have seven colors of the rainbow making their debut on them, they (my butt cheeks) still have the right to feel the rainbow.
I occasionally wear T-strings. Not thongs o! T-strings r the very thin ones. Thongs r too thick, and for me, that is just too much material to be getting stuck between my butt cheeks. The T-strings r much more comfortable. You hardly feel them. But then, that’s just me. That being said, I don’t wear them everyday or every week. I don’t think I even wear them every month. I only wear one when necessary. You know there are some outfits that just look better without panty lines abeg…like those extra tight skirts, yes? *wink, wink*
I used to wear “regular underwears” with bikini strings by their sides. I can’t remember what they were called. I stopped wearing them because I couldn’t find them anymore. Well, I found them, but just not the ones I liked. I switched to the sporty bikini ones. They have ropes by their sides too, but the ropes are thicker, and not quite as fascinating. They were just too…. errrr.
I recently switched to boy shorts. My people, that was where my trouble started oh. Those boy shorts are big enough to be confused as booty shorts. In fact, they are sometimes called booty shorts, but of course, I wouldn’t wear them outside. I wouldn’t even wear a booty short outside anyway, so whatever. But why did I switch to boy shorts? The ones I found were coloful, and they looked comfy. But as I later came to find out, those underwears were just fine for nothing. They succeeded in giving me a wedgie every time. Do you know how uncomfortable it is to have a wedgie from an underwear that is almost as big as a booty short? Do you know? Oh, the horror!! Several times, I found myself standing in public places and wiggling around like I had something crawling on me. They were never the kind of wedgies that I could discretely pull out. They were always the kinds I had to stand in a corner where no one was looking, put my hand in the back of my pants (trousers) and pull the darn underwear down. Sometimes, I even said, “Forget who is looking. I can’t take this anymore!!” and yes, I dug in. It didn’t matter where I was…Walmart…on the street, church, bank, Best Buy…whatever!! Desperate situationes call for desperate measures, right? All this suffering for the sake of wearing a colorful underwear???This didn’t happen like once or twice a day. It happened several times a day. The wedgies I got were just phenomenal. They could not be ignored. They were the wedgies from hell. Two weeks ago, I went out with my ever outspoken mom. I was wearing a tight khaki-colored capri, and I had a serious wedgie, as usual. Being @ a public place, I pretended it wasn’t there. However…
Mom asked, “What kind of underwear are you wearing? I can see everything. It’s giving you pafinga.” So ‘pafinga’ is mom’s word for wedgie. That was it! That did it! If mom who wears glasses and sometimes doesn’t even recognize people could see that I had a chronic wedgie, then that meant that the rest of the world could see it too. So it was with a broken heart that I came to terms with the harsh reality of my love-hate affair: Boy shorts had to go!
I went shopping on Monday, and I am now the proud wearer of hipsters underwears. No wedgies. No pafinga. They sit on my hips, so they don’t show when I bend over (which was another problem I had with the boy shorts. They were pretty, but I didn’t care for everyone else to see them when I bent over). The hipsters underwears are pretty too. They’re comfy. I have to admit that I am a bit psychologically bruised from having my butt cheeks hang out everywhere but inside the underwear they were intended to hang out in. Thank goodness for hipsters. I may need a Shrink to get over this one.The real problem now is….what to do with all those boy shorts??? I really wish I had a husband. I would have put him to good use. My good ol’ hubby woulda been modeling around for me in the boy shorts by now. He mighta even worn my heels and thrown on a pink scarf around his neck. Boy, I can’t wait to be married. Sooooo many ideas!!
i’m so on top of this lol. off to read
Vera, you are crazier than I thought! LOL…. but I feel you on comfy underwear. I don’t do underwears that hurt or itch.
…now you see why i was tugging my pafinga on oxford?…enjoy your new undeez…wear a green one for me next wednesday
lol
Vera just go the Sharon Stone basic instinct way, its less hassle 🙂
Personally I love my french knickers plus they come in all sorts of shades…..and flavours;-)
Never been a thong woman, only wear those in bed as part of some ‘im tryina look sexy ensemble only to be taken off swiftly…lol.
only vera. wat can i say!
I swear I have no idea of what you are talking about.
I shudder to think that in a short while I may know all of that.
Why are ladies so complicated?
Lawd have mercy!
lol . i know what you mean, but I love them boy shorts tho-so comfy. it must be a shape of ass thing lol
hehehehe…are u sure your boy shorts will be able to “enter” your husband..or is it will your husband be able to “enter” the boy shorts.
lol
lol@ MDM basic instinct way! i bought abt 5 boyshorts too from VS, and i hate them cos them became loose and the wedgies were annoying. But they were pretty tho!
I just decorate my underwear bag with all those colorful boyshorts!
So you know what’s funny…even though they’re called boy shorts…boys shouldn’t be allowed in them – lol. I’m soooo freaking serious about this too – lol.
Um, what kind of undies do I wear. I wear a nice firm fitting boxer brief. I tried something that was similar to a boy short and they’re not made for men of a thicker persuasion…them suckers ride up and give me a pafinga every damn waking hour – lol.
Goodluck trying to get your 'hubby' to wear them with all the frills and such like… If he did I'd be questioning his sexuality or like Oprah says 'he may be on the down-low'.
Well to the boy shorts for girls… not very practical if you're built the 'African' way **wink,wink**. I adore lacy french knickers – tres sexier. The seamless thongs are cool too, no VPLs to be concerned about.. VS have some great fitting briefs & thongs too… I haven't tried the T-strings like you call them, one for my next shopping trip… Try Agent Provocateur next time, their latest ranges are far out! Have fun!
Hey Vera, how you dey?
Love the hipsters. Love you too. We no fight again, we be sistas now;-)
Can obviously comment, but I will pretend I understood all you said. Thanks for the message on my blog – appreciated, thanks
maybe you’re wearing the wrong sized boy shorts, spandex boy shorts in the right size are heaven sent!
Oh my…i cant even begin to imagine u takin care of the pafinga in public..hahahahaha! Poor u. But yea, wedgies aint the ish..
Im a totally thong person..except when im on my period..
I want boy-shorts too…I’m abt to go on a shopping spree for them. Vera, where’s the best place to get them?
Wordsmith: Alright love. I'm waiting.
Flavored Girl: lol. My dear, it is imperative that one is comfortable in that region, yes? Yes!!
Baroque: LOL. Okay, I'll wear a green one for you. Whatever you want, your highness! Boy, can't wait till next wednesday!!
Miss Definitely Maybe: Sharon Stone ke? LOL. This babe, you don kolo finish. I've never tried french knickers b4, but now that you've said they're they're colorful & flavorful, maybe I'll give them a chance.
ChiefO: **singing** Say what you need to say…say what you need 2 say…
Tobenna: LOL. Are we really that complicated? I don't think we are oh. lol. But don't worry, shudder all you want, you will find out all this and much more in a little bit. lol.
Wordsmith: It's either the shape or the size…me I don't know. All I know is that I am so, so done with the boy shorts. Never again!
Aloted: He will definitely be able to enter them. The boy shorts are stretch. lol.
Just Toluwa: My underwear drawer has no space to be decorated. I must throw them all away @ once since there is no husband to wear them. **sobs**
Darius: LOL. Hahahaha. You had me laughing my head off. But I can totally relate to the frustration of waking up to a pafinga. So not cool! lol. But I'd love to hear you pronouce "pafinga" lol.
Bibi: You know what? That's an interesting point you brought up about being built the African way. The thing tire me oh. That was probably the problem. I considered it, but I quickly dismissed the idea. Now, I know! Agent Provocateur, you say? I must find out.
Naijalines: You love me??? Awwwwwww. ***blushing*** Okay, fight over. I love you too. We must now kiss & make up.
Aba Boy: LOL. Y can't you comment? If you don't understand where I'm coming from, please buy yourself a pair of boy shorts and put them on. Then come back and tell me how they made you feel.
Bumight: I dunno oh. I was wearing them in my regular size. I just couldn't take the pafinga anymore. lol
Buttercup: You're a thong person? Yikes! I don't do thongs @ allll. lai lai. You do them all them time? Dat na infection o! lol
Jaycee: It depends on how much you're tryna spend. Perhaps, you might wanna start small to make sure you actually like em. Stores like Wal-Mart have them from Hanes. JcPenny, Macys, Victoria's Secret et al also have them. But of course, their prices are higher also.
I like my boy shorts jare. I can’t wear thongs or any kinda “string” cos it’s like voluntarily giving urself a wedgy and all that dragging from ur backside to the front is just…ewww
I just wont wear the boy short all day. i must take it off b4 going to bed.
lol @ turning ur husband into a model
Vera and Naijalines
– how come post on panties has taken you two from fighting to kissing?
– SMH
Ever tried going commando before? No wedgies, no worries!
lol,
First time here and I must admit you’re funny.
I wear hipsters as well but I love boy shorts, I just think they’re sexy, I dunno, never had a problem with them, not a thong person either, unless I have too like you said.
I cannot believe I’m discussing underwear
Vera, verily verily I say unto you:
you are too funny!
I wonder what a Vera + Carlang conversation would sound like.
I would pay money to listen.
Monopoly money that is.
Oya Vera, a big smacker on your lips jare. Muah!
@ NAAPALI
Call it the joy of female bonding. You know…girl fighting and kissing aren’t that far apart when you think about it. That’s why men love girl fights, right?
I agree with Bumight boy shorts are haeven sent you are wearing the wrong size. Thongs had to go couldn’t stand the butt cracks anymore. There are seamless boy shorts too which doesn’t giv VPL (visible panty line). Lov the husband angle.
Iwalewa: Kudos to you sha for the boy shorts. I have given up the idea of our union. I have come to accept that we were not meant to be. No pair of butt cheeks should have to suffer so much. It should never, ever have to happen. Never!!
Naapali: There is only one way to understand what transpired between me and Naijalines: go try on a pair of boy shorts (and send a picture as proof). Only then, my dearest Doc, will you understand.
Kay-Shawn: LOL. Haba. No oh. Well, I mean, I have thought about it, but I simply can’t. I don’t even like going to bed without underwear. It’s just not right. lol. What if I get into a fight and my opponent rips my outfits down to my non existent underwear? What then becomes of me?
Zena: Please feel free to discuss underwears and much more. It’s part of us, ain’t it? I guess my ‘back side’ is built differently because those boy shorts – as cute and sexy as they were – just wouldn’t stay where I left them.
Naapali: lol. Monopoly money only? I’m hurt. I was expecting you to dash me @ least three months of your doc salary. lol. I wonder what a Vera + Carlang conversation will be like too. lol. I’m still getting to know Carlang. I just discovered his blog the other day. I look forward to the future.
Naijalines: Thanks for that kiss. Do you know the last time I got a kiss on the lips? LOL. I’ll respect myself and keep that info to myself. I don’t think u wanna know. lol. It’s shameful.
*bowing head in shame*
Naapali doesn’t understand. He wasn’t thought about this in med school. lol.
Lusciousron: Lol @ the butt cracks. Hahahahahaha. What did you do to relieve the pain? Vaseline? lol. Hahaha. Sorry oh. I don’t think I was wearing the wrong size oh. I’m wearing the same size for my hipsters right now, and they’re perfect, but those darn boy shorts were just wrong 4 me.
Underwear woes!!! Do not let me start. I have tried everything, the tongs (the devil’s flossing device), hipster, I can feel the bands at all times. Boyshort na fo oyinbo gurls wey no get backside (hiss). My favorite = grandma panties or no be french knickers una call am, except when boyfie is visiting, then I pull out me agent provocateur underwear better know as torture devices. got them when we went to vegas last summer, believe me only love makes me do all that nonsense. Anyways enjoy your hipsters o, may u neva part!!!
lol! i love boy shorts. They are really comfortable. I especially like the low rise boy shorts from VS.
You are too funny!
NIGERIAN CURIOSITY
IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER WHEN I ONLY HAD ONE…
Vera, u will not kill me. I’m dying. I choked on my damn spit cos i was laughing at this shit u wrote. Lord!
I totally agree with u on the boy short thingy. I think those things were made for ladies without ass. It’s not made for everybody. They look really nice esp the lace ones, but the wedgie na die. I have never ventured out of my house with one on. I put it on but by the time i’m ready to leave my house i’ve had enough. I refuse to be uncomfortable especially with underwear. No be me go dey dig out wedgie for public.
That’s why you would never catch me with a thong. God forbid. I love the string bikini and nothing else. Your mom is funny as hell.
Temite: So the grandma panties r the french knickers??? So that’s what Miss Definitely Maybe was suggesting 2 me? *HISSSSSSSSSSS* lol. So far so good with the hipsters sha. And they’re tagless too. Awesome!! Nawa o. I never heard of this agent provocateur kini abi wetin una call am? I musto investigate this.
Solomon Sydelle: So you’re a boy shorts person too, huh? Hmm. Interesting. Kudos to you, love.
Sting: My dear, it’s really made 4 people with no bakassi oh. Try as I might, I just can’t do it. Boy shorts will not kill me. I will kill them first.
I know d pant palaver. I aint got much behind but i av a dilema with pants. De tend to give me freekpas!! SO I BUY FULL FLAG, wit dat am cover left-right and up – down.
…now ‘m excited, i cant wait 4 wednesday to come…LOL
LMAO.
I have no comments for you, Miss Vera.
Bear this in mind, imaginations can run wild with the mention of panties,bum cheeks and ladies in boy shorts,pafinga or not.
You want to turn your husband into something else???????????
Your godson says no wayyyyyyyyyy.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Boy shorts are fine as long as they are not too short!
LOL @ ur hubby having to wear boy shorts! poor guy, wouldnt want to be him. neways, you write gud.
NikkiSab: LOL @ being covered left, right, up and down. I feel you sha. But what is ‘freekpas?’ I have no idea.
Baroque: You think you’re excited oh. You have no idea how excited I am!! I am toooooo excited. lol.
Mr. C: Really? Pray, do tell, what are these imaginations you speak of? *wink, wink*
Temmy Tayo: LOL. C’mon, one pair of boy shorts won’t turn him into anything. He’ll remain the man that he was. lol.
LG: No blame me jo. Na condition make crayfish bend.
Doja: Boy shorts were anything but fine on me. Well, they looked fine (2 me), but they sure didn’t feel fine.
Muse: Wouldn’t wanna be him? But why? lol. You better apply to be him ooh. The position is still very open, and it comes with lots of benefits. Thanks 4 stopping by, love.
funny as always
whatever happened to not wearing nurrin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ‘ont know whatchu talking ’bout, I ADORE my boy shorts girl!!
Thanks for stopping by my place.

NIGERIAN CURIOSITY
IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER WHEN I ONLY HAD ONE…
Ibiluv: LOL. No dey suggest that kin nonsense to me again o. You want me 2 go commando ehn? Tufia kwa! That is an abomination in my village. I musto cover the special part.
Joicee: I inspired you to write about your mom? WOW. I feel mighty special!! I must go & read. Thanks for stopping by, love.
Abbie: For real?? Well, good for you and ur boy shorts *rolling eyes* lol
Solomon Sydelle: So after all my warning, you still went and bought boy shorts ehn? Well, make sure you take a picture and put it on ur blog. We need 2 see. lol.
Vera, u’re officially crazy o, u hia!
But i nearly died of laughter when ur mom said pafinga, can’t remember the last time i hrd dat.
But i like me my boy shorts o, g-strings r pure torture as far as i’m concerned, never tried d t-strings, but i dont really see dem as bein much berra.
Pls try french knickers, den u shall know the meaning of wedgie o, or maybe it’s just my own ass, cuz boy shorts r pretty comfy for me, so much so dat i just updated my lingerie drawer with some.
But now, these hipsters sound like d shiznit, especially as dey don’t peek out when u bend over…. now dats warr i’m talking bou!
This is all so confusing.
Life on Venus seems designed to be completely difficult.
I mourn with you though.
Wedgies aren’t a particularly nice thing to have.
I’m still in recovery from my experience of 99′.
Thank goodness your problems seem to be over.
In coming weeks I’ll wait to see how well these hipsters work out.
They might seem all well and nice right now.
But you forget the defining clause in all things Venusian.
Will he like it?
@ Naapali:
What did you have in way of a conversation.
:- Do you want my Boy shorts?
:- Oh my.(Gasp.)Yes. Take them off.
:- Thank Goodness. I need some help though. They’re stuck again.
one of the reasons i dont wear draws hope u dont mind the comment
rawdawgbuffalo
Vera!!!
I sell undies as a hobby and I really recommend comfortable ones for my customers…some boyshorts are the bomb!
I’d recommend you buy stripped colored cotton boyshorts and save for ur husband…u wont regret it…
Mizchif: Na today yansh dey for back? No be today wey my craze start oh. lol. Anyway, those hipsters are really comfy oh (at least for me anyway). So far, we have been having a very blissful, passionate relationship. It’s been like nothing else. I wake up feeling segzy every morning. U have no idea.
Carlang: Recover well, my brother. May the force (of Starwars) be with you. So far, so wonderful with my hipsters. Never have I been in such a beautiful relationship with an underwear. I wake up in the morning with a smile. When I look @ myself in the mirror, I bend over and give myself a smack on my bum. I’m finally FREE of wedgies. Yay! As of today, I dunno if ‘he’ likes it the hipsters. Reason being, I dunno who ‘he’ is. When I get a man, I will find out, but if he doesn’t like it, he will have to deal with it oh! (who am I kidding??)
LOL @ the conversation. Hahahahaha.
Torrance: No, I certainly don’t mind the comment. Wait, you don’t wear draws? lol. So you just go free? lol. That’s BOLD.
Rita: You fool me once, shame on you. You fool me once, shame on me. I refuse to buy any boyshorts. Okay, I’ll buy them on one condition: that my husband is buying thongs that he’ll wear when we’re married. Shikena.
But Veraji,
You’re only XX years old, WAY to young to get married. WHY RUSH? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS
Check your email.
HOLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous: Way too young ke? No oh!!! Have you seen the grey hair sprouting on my hair and other special parts? Not too young biko. lol.
