I bought some of those "no ride up" panties a few weeks ago and my husband is soooo tired of hearing me complain about their false advertising. The ride up! They ride up!! Ha!

I tend to wonder how narrow some women's hips are that these underpants would not ride up for them... As though they had no bottoms or were anatomically incorrect. What gets me are the pads, though, the pads which are more narrow or stiff and crinkly or stick to themselves or... Well, it's really TMI.

Whoever decided that the fashionable (and only) style of underwear that actually has a bum in it available here should be the "boy short cut" needs to be strung up. Listen, Underwear Manufacturers of the World, it is seriously <i>not normal</i> to assume that the crotchal and bottomal region of an adult woman should resemble the crotchal and bottomal region of a <i>little boy</i>. Honestly. How deeply weird is that?! The other mainstream choice is thongs, or else one is into the realm of granny panties, and I'm too snooty about my coolness to want to wear underwear that can be mistaken for a small duvet. I am hanging onto my dwindling collection of bikinis and g-strings avariciously. I feel your pain.

Monkey's been fully trained for a long time, I used stickers with him. Actually, it’s Pumpkin that is being bribed with cash. Monkey’s been fully trained for a long time, I used stickers with him.

I bribed The Boy with Hot Wheels. They are both terrible brats but I don't think it's because I bribed them to use the potty chair. They seem to be quite well-adjusted except for the brattiness issues so I doubt it'll cause any long lasting harm if you get Monkey to potty using cash. My parenting motto is, "Whatever works." There are plenty of psychologists for them to consult later on. ;) Oh, I hate underwear too. They either ride up the butt or they roll down. I've decided rolling down is better than mega-thong so I buy mine at Costco. They have a brand there that rolls rather than rides. I bribed The Girl with toys. I bribed The Boy with Hot Wheels.
