Super Seamless – Goodbye VPL!

Last week, I went over to Victoria’s Secret. (Remember? After an unhealthy addiction to La Perla, we re-discovered Victoria’s Secret during these belt-tightening times!) I restocked my lingerie drawer with an assortment of reasonably priced bras and underwear.

Even shopping at these “custom” bra stores that do fittings, I always feel it’s a search for the perfect underwear. And when I find it, I feel compelled to buy a lot! I have found that the fit of the panties at VS is inconsistent. Undergarments of the same style and labeled the same size don’t always fit exactly the same, especially if you’re buying in January 09 and then again in August 09. And of course, as I’m always in a rush, I never think to try them on. And when they’re on sale, they’re just so easy to pick up – like Tic Tacs. But I love the Biofit bras, and as of last week, I have found the perfect panties!

Last week, I found some undewear that seemed to be made with one piece of fabric (only one seam total! on the backside). Super smooth. I liked! They were pretty, slightly on the delicate side (I questioned whether they were too delicate for the gym), but there was this awesome shade of lavender that I just had to get. No matching bra, but I figured I could wear them for an easy work out (with a workout top). Well, I put them on yesterday, and I had to immediately go back to VS for more! And yes, they’re tough enough for the hardest gym workouts!

Not one single VPL! Not one. They are so smooth, so thin – it’s like going commando! Unfortunately for you, I can’t find them online. If you want them, go quickly to the store nearest you because at the one I went to on 58th and Lexington (NYC), there was one small table left with minimal sizes. I grabbed whatever I could, knowing that I could just stash them away for the future (who knows if VS will have them again).
