Best Budget Underwear
It seems that undies are a lot like high heels. When they look good, they don’t feel good. And when they look bad (or just plain boring), they feel awesome. So, lingerie makers - why can’t you seem to mass produce a pair of underwear that’s cute and comfy? Oh and also, here’s the real kicker, affordable? Ladies who want seductive, stylish, and/or snug panties are forced to search high and low for the right pair at the department store. And then, shudder, they may just feel compelled to try on several pairs in the dressing room before checking out!
We already know to buy the bulk of our undergarments at Wal-Mart, Kohl’s, and Target, and we love online warehouses like BareNecessities.com, but we want your opinion - what brands and what stores deliver high-quality, low-cost underwear?

www.Figleaves.com is the best site for lingerie and swimwear, especially if you are a hard-to-fit size. They carry a variety of brands, both common (think Chantelle, Freya, etc.) and uncommon (Mimi Holliday was a discovery for me…) all at a variety of price points. I’m in the U.S., but I have shopped their U.K. site in addition to their U.S. site and found an even greater variety of really fun, adorable, inexpensive lingerie. Their site is really easy to use - you can shop by size, brand, color, etc. And their customer service is second to none - easy returns, inexpensive shipping, and frequent “sale by email” promos.
If you wear a larger bra size (DD+)and can’t find a pretty bra or cute swimsuit anywhere (like Victoria Secret, Target, or Walmart), try this website.
I really like Hanes “Perfect Stretch” bikinis. You can buy them in Target for $8 for two.
Also, I love Old Navy’s mesh bikinis but they currently seem to not be making the style.
I was surprised to find that the Hanes underwear I bought at K-Mart fell apart after a few washings. The elastic came away from the body of the pants. It’s a bit of a search but I find good panties at Marshalls, TJMaxx and Ross—Dress-fo—Less for $1.99 to $2.99. I like stretch nylon briefs with high-cut leg; very basic.These are similar to ones sold by Victoria’s Secret but Victoria wants $4 to $5 per pair.
The title of this was “Best Budget Underwear”....I looked at the Figleaves site and yes, their underwear is nice but my idea of “budget” doesn’t go $15 to $50 for a pair of panties.
