Ok, here is my number one pet peeve in the "knicker improvement" department
(and I use the word "improvement" as loosely as possible). For some reason,
underwear manufacturers have not figured out that we ahem full figured
folk have padding EVERYWHERE - not just in the hips, thighs, tummy, etc.
Hello people, when women gain weight, the crotch area needs more (not less)
coverage!!!!!

I so understand that! Guess why!

Lisa, USA, who thinks the person who invented the butt floss thong panties
and the subsequent THONG PAD to go therein is a maniac who should be shot.

Thongs are funny. I can't imagine why anyone would pay money for
panties that give them a constant wedgie.

Thong pads are even funnier. It's amazing that people buy them. They
aren't big enough to catch two big raindrops, much less anything else,
so what are they for? My thought is that they make the thong wedgie
just that little bit more wedged. :-D

But doesn't it really really irk you when you find "the" bra or "the
knickers" that are perfect and you buy a half dozen pairs. Then when
they
are about due for replacement or you want more you can never find them!!
They've "improved" them or stopped making them! Man that burns my butt!

That's basically why I started working on making my own. If this
manufacturer goes out of business, I'm sunk.

A bit? I think that qualifies for understatement of the year.

I have my appointment next week for a consultation for reduction. Most
likely I will pay for it all myself. Any other time I have gone through
insurance etc they won't cover it unless I first go on a medically
supervised diet that is a liquid fast, which I absolutely cannot do and
survive. The unofficial quote I have right now from him is $6000,
another was $8000 from a respected surgeon. At this time I am 44DD+.

Too bad the insurance review boards are not made up of women who
understand this type of thing.

Don't forget those of us in the IBTC!! (Itty-Bitty-Titty-Committee).

Finding 40A bras is just about impossible. Buying super-expensive ones
from a specialty shop doesn't make sense when there isn't much to
support :P

Costco now carries camisoles (2 for $10) in a variety of colors. I
haven't worn anything else in at least 2 years.

Me too! NOT something I've ever contemplated, except briefly last
Christmas when I found a lump, but if that's the only way to make you
comfortable, best of luck with it.

Have you checked out bras from www.decentexposures.com?

Glacier My husband is making me a sewing table, just a piece of
countertop with a hole cut out, in which to set the sewing machine.
The problem I have with my present cabinet is that I can't sit
directly in front of the needle, but have to "lean to the left" to
sew. I also find that the needle is too far away, 10.5 inches from
the edge of the table. With this new table I will be able to sit
directly in front of the machine, but I don't know how far from the
edge it should be. Tables such as the ones made by Horn appear to
have the machine closer to the edge. Can anyone tell me what works best
for you? I was
thinking 4-6 inches from the edge of the table to the needle.
Opinions?

TIA,
Jane
