The Bottom Drawer Forums

Do you ever purchase a new pair of underwear and regret the purchase even before they arrived. Buyers regret mostly for paying full price. I’ve wanted a certain brand and even through the holidays they never went on sale. I just had to have them so I purchased today paying full price. One side of my regrets it but hopefully they will be as comfortable as I’ve heard and won’t regret the purchase after all.

Don't know about regretting them before they arrive. Maybe if I ordered before a good sale hit. I've waited too long to buy a pair and then it is no longer offered and I've regretted that. I'm not one to pay full price. I'll wait out for a sale hence why I've missed pairs I would have liked to try. I've bought plenty of pairs I wish I didn't, but you never know until you buy them and try them on. Hopefully, they'll turn out to be a pair you'll love.

No, no regrets about having ordered any styles. I should also say this applies to store purchases. The regret comes from the arrival, say seeing the item is clearly going to be not as snug as I had hoped, or wishing I'd studied the website image better to see that I have just waited two weeks for an expensive gimmick. Another advantage of store purchases - the regret can happen the same day rather than having to wait and wonder if all will be OK

Sometimes the regret can come from inferior quality, poor stitching and inferior fabrics that wear thin and threadbare very quickly.
The most recent to come to mind was the Jockey Life string bikini brief. The first brief I wore right out of the pack, lasted about 8 hours. When I got home from work later that night and got undressed to take a shower, I noticed several holes had worn into the crotch. I am very active at work and do a lot of walking, and the thin, almost see-through fabric of the Jockey Life string bikini just couldn't hold up.

A little deeper on the topic. I have the regret that Nate mentioned about waiting and not buying a brand, such as Prevail Sport. My regret this time was knowing that I don’t need new underwear and probably shouldn’t have spent the money, but bought new ones at full price because I have wanted them so badly. Luckily for just the quick try on when they arrived today I don’t regret the purchase. I can’t wait to wear them for longer for the real test.

I'm sure most of the blog followers will have items that were bought with high hopes and anticipation,only to end up languishing unworn at the bottom of our drawers. My list would have to include some of the Kiniki swim tangas I bought which consistently disappointed with their pouches that squished rather than enhanced my package. The Doreanse g-strings that felt like barbed wire after a few hours of wear,and so on. In some cases,the issue was mainly down to wrong sizing,but with others it was the actual design of the garment which only became apparent when you tried them on. Such are the negatives of shopping online.
I do regret not buying more Gregg Homme Commando g-strings before they were discontinued,and I wish Kiniki hadn't done the same with their Gigolo g-string,especially as they attempted to reintroduce it some years later with an inferior version(several of which lie untouched in a drawer to this day).
