Background info: I’m a pear-shaped woman who is losing weight via Atkins (2 weeks, 2 days, about 14 pounds so far). I also have a relatively short torso and long legs. What I mean is that I am 5’ 4" to 5’ 5", but if my torso was proportionate, I’d probably be 5’ 8” or 5’ 9”. This makes it difficult to find pants, because pants that fit the length of my legs tend to have a waist that is way too high (think Erkel), while pants that fit at my natural waist tend to be way too short.
Enter low-cut jeans. (Yay!) I love ‘em, and they fit pretty nicely, often falling at my natural waist. (Although I still have to be careful that the legs aren’t too short, and the waist is often a bit too big.) Problem is, I am, as I said, losing weight, and the ones I have are riding a bit lower, fitting more like they are supposed to.
This is cool, except that I have always worn high-cut briefs, and now I find that my undies are peeking by a few inches over the waist of my pants. Usually this isn’t a problem, as I wear shirts and sweaters that come down well below the waist of my pants, but soon I will be thin enough to wear shirts that show a bit of torso when bending, etc. I don’t want two or three inches of underwear showing; that’s just tacky.
So, ladies, my dilemma is this: What kind of panties should I buy? Please keep in mind that I don’t like anything riding low on my thighs (I think).
