The Bottom Line

I have a big issue.  I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one, or if this is a problem all us ladies share?!

I wear a UK8-10 depending on the shop.  This is the same for jeans, tops, skirts.  It's the same for everything, butt.. and I do mean BUTT by undies.. knickers, pants, under the belly-butt-cheek-holder.  Whatever you want to call them... I find that unless I want to feel like I'm spending the day flossing between my sweet-cheeks, I have to buy knickers in sizes far "bigger" than the size I wear everywhere else.  I'm talking buying pants in a size UK14-16.

I'm not going to pretend I have a tiny ass.  I don't.  It's a normal sized butt that quite happily fits into a pair of size 8 skinny jeans.  So why do I have to buy size 16 pants just to feel comfortable.  To actually cover my butt?

Do any of you have this problem, or is it just me?

I don't understand it... what is this obsession with small knickers that don't cover your behind sufficiently?  It's just not comfortable ladies!!  How do you do it?  Do you buy the size 10 because that's what "you are" only to spend every day fiddling with your behind when no-ones looking?  Doesn't it drive you mad?

I don't want to have to resort to the M&S Old Ladies Dept. and buy myself a multipack of pants that are so huge I could get a 9 month pregnant belly into them as well as my butt... but it's starting to look like I might have to.

I want to wear pretty pants, but I don't want to be uncomfortable!

Come on fashion, sort yourself out.  Provide me with a pretty yet comfy pair of pants.  Damn you!
