All about my underpants

[flea]

At some point during my high school years, I switched to wearing exclusively black cotton underpants - specifically, my One True Underpant, black cotton Jockey for Her string bikinis. These ceased to be made some time in the mid 1990s, but I found some replacements, and my current underpants collection includes Jockey "elance" string bikinis, jockey hipsters, and j. crew bikinis, all black, all 100% cotton. (I do have a few other pairs of underpants for specialized needs - pale garments, teh sex, etc.)

Now, I have another rule about my underpants - I will not wear holey underpants. I am a grownup, and while I am cheap, I am not that cheap. Lately I have had multiple pairs of underpants self-destruct into holes within a short period of time, so I am in need of an underpants re-stock. So whenever I am in a store, I check their underpants to see if they carry any black all-cotton underpants that could be suitable.

Reader, they do not. What with the advent of microfiber, the thong, and the boy-short, I am lucky to find any cotton underpants at all, and they are never black. I have checked basic online clothing purveyors (j. crew, lands' end) too, and no dice.

From the wonderful site www.barenecessities.com, I have discovered that I can order black jockey underpants (bikinis or hipsters) for $6.50 a pair (highway robbery, but I digress). But they are not all black - the waist elastic is white. This annoys me considerably.

Reader, dear reader, do you know where I can find the underpants of my dreams?

In other private parts news, I think my left nipple is broken. Ow.

They don't chafe my secret places -- perhaps the NuttyFlea physiology is straight out of the X-Files ("The Women Whose Underwear Chafed!")....
