Shopping for underwear sucks. The prices are unreasonable, some of the designs are just disturbing, and, well, finding non-synthetic underwear for a good price is just not easy. But, hey, it’s something all us ladies have to go through, so why not laugh about it?
Illustrator C. Cassandra can help us out with that. She depicted 6 reasons why shopping for underwear sucks and they’re both hilarious and completely relatable! Take a look below.

Try buying satin bikini cut panties. Go ahead. Try it. I'll wait.... See? No chance! Everything is thong this or cotton panties that or boy shorts or grannypanties. WHY is satin bikini (or string bikini) out of the question!?!?! Don't get me started on satin non-padded/non-lined bras. Why and when did REAL lingerie die? You wanna know what Victoria's Secret is? She has NO TASTE. Shhh! Don't tell anybody. It's a "secret".

I agree because I've always loved lingerie....... I can understand some poeple have sensitive skin and prefere wearing cotton, but I think many girls just have this popular idea that sexy lingerie is, or even SHOULD, be uncomfortable.. Sometimes it feels like you HAVE to suffer to be beautiful, as the saying goes! No!! Not at all! As long as you know your size and are aware that it can get different according to the brand/bra types, just try some, as you said, and you'll see! If really it doesn't fit for whatever reason, it's fine, you should wear whatever you like. But i can't help it but think that it's always nice to look at yourself wearing something nice that makes you feel even more beautiful! Especially with all this body image pressure going on.. You can get some amazing lingerie sets on the internet for a good price, so money shouldn't be a problem either! And I agree about Victoria's Secret.. I'm definitely not a fan..

I hate buying bras and undies at stores, I don't like people seeing what I choose to wear under my clothes, feels a bit intimate. I prefer to buy online when possible. But that's just me :)

I don't dare buyinh bras online. If I can't try, I don't buy. It's really hard to find one that matches.

There are a few brands that have nice cotton undies :) but the bra struggle is real, I can only shop from UK (only they offer my size) and I have to pay for it to be able to try it on and see it looks s**t or size is smaller than expected even though it is same measures

same, i always buy sports bras, finding inexpensive bras that fit takes forever, and when i finally find that one that's comfortable and cheap, its neon pink or something and will totally show up under my shirt.

I did find one that I like, but it was expensive. Yes, let's encourage ladieto consider the ctomfy, stretchy, cotton-based bra that breathes.

Very realistic cartoon, especially the bit about natural fibres. The underwires in bras drive me crazy - I hate the @#$% things.

I think this site just caused a meltdown among all us ladies who loathe the fashion industry for telling us what we should want, rather than what we are looking for. I've been here, and waiting for the rest of you. There's probably hundreds of others around me, but I am focused on getting the rest of you on board. Please don't buy expensive and inappropriate lingeree just because you think you are expected to? Get what fits, is comfy and don't cave. :)

We definitely don't have the same perception of shopping for underwear then ^^ (maybe because I go shopping for lingerie and not underwear?) and I don't understand why cotton is so popular? Other kind of fabrics, like lycra, look great and are very comfortable..

Well, some skin types can get irritated by non-natural materials. I also prefer cotton or something alike. But then, I'm the kind who cannot stand the touch of nylon stocking.

Try Women's Sectret- i think it has a lot of cotton- some soft colours, cozy PJs, classy sexy, not skanky s**t from Lasenza or Victoria's secret!
