i would never write about stuff like this on my other blog
in my continuing quest for comfort for my newly sensitive body, i started searching for new underwear. i wanted something nice and loose, no elastic rubbing against my thighs, no cloth pressed up against my girly parts. something that would feel like i was wearing no underwear at all. i wanted liberated underwear
i googled around for a while with search terms like "loose comfortable underwear" and was coming up dry until i noticed that one of the results included the word modest. it turns out that if you want freedom where it counts, you have to go to the other side of the aisle. i had quite a field trip checking out the numerous web sites that offer girls' and womens' clothing that meets the farthest religious right standards of modesty. one-stop shopping for ankle-length skirts, yoke-top dresses, and head coverings, usually hand-made by proverbs 31 women. and "modest" underwear! bloomers and pantalettes, mostly for young girls (so they can turn cartwheels while wearing a dress), but some for grown women, too. i think their idea is to wear the bloomers over their panties, but my plan was to wear them instead of panties
i was all set to buy some pantalettes, but then i found what i really wanted. long panties from an amish clothing site (i have to wonder who they're selling to, since the amish don't have computers)
anyway, i ordered the long panties and i'm absolutely in love with them. i got them one size larger than my regular size, and i wear them inside out so i don't feel the seams. they're just wonderful. i've found feminist liberation in amish underwear
I just love this blog! What a fun idea. Thank you!
