VPL

VPL. Yes, ladies, visible panty line strikes again! I cringe when I see this. Really, I'm not a huge advocate of thongs, but in this case there are a couple issues that need to be addressed and a thong might actually help the situation.

First things first: the label doesn't make it look good. It doesn't matter if the label says size 6 or size 20, if it's too tight, it looks bad. Really, bad. Unfortunately the quality of the photo doesn't convey how bad this was. Not only could you see the lines, but you could see straight through the pants and tell what color her underwear were this day.

Seriously, tight and light is not doing you any favors.

How do we fix this? Well, yeah, a thong could definitely help, but that wouldn't solve the see-through issue.

When trying on a pair of pants, maybe this is obvious, but look at your butt. It's ok. It won't bite. If you don't check it out beforehand, though, you might get bitten in the arse by your choice when on the street.

I know how it is, my pants are constantly shrinking in comparison to my widely expansive hiney, but really, it's in my best interest to look at it before leaving the house. This leads to my new must-have: a full length mirror.

Honestly, this will save you sooo much embarrassment. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this woman's figure is at all problematic, but the size of her slacks are not playing up her ass-ets. She has a great curvy figure, but that's not what you see.

So, yes, even though it is galling to wear a certain size, remember that number does not define who you are. If in doubt about the fit, though, look in the mirror--standing still, walking and sitting--because no one wants to highlight their saddlebags or any other less-savory aspect to their figure. But if you have the hiney to wear really tight pants without fear of exposed cellulite, wear a nude thong--let's keep at least a few things mysterious.
