How I Changed The World For Womankind

I've done it. I complained and was listened to. CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE! Oh yes. And you can thank me. I am the voice of the people!

Some stand around and tell the emperor how much they love his new clothes, but I am not afraid to tell it like it is.

I have never been shy about telling you how I do not love LDS Garments. It's is known far and wide.

On Friday, I took my handy dandy temple recommend and headed forthwith to the LDS Distribution Center to purchase me some new underwear, having heard rumors that they were discontinuing my current tolerable type.

But when I got there, it was as though they had read my very blog. The lady said they had done an extensive world wide survey (another reason for not skipping RS, sisters) and changes were made to reflect the wants of LDS garment wearing women.

AHHH ... so nice to be heard! The waistline of my underwear no longer goes up to my ribs ... it hits just below the belly button. And the recommended size FITS. Nicely. Snug.

I have no issues with being modest. I prefer modesty. But modesty doesn't have to be super mega baggy granny panties. I feel much more comfortable in this updated pattern. In fact, I'm blogging in them. And see how happy I am.


It's true, you may see the actual skin of my back as I bend over to pick up a wounded, crying child, but I assure you, I'm not trying to incite lust or flaunt my love handles. I'm just doing my job. Really. It's not a big deal.


NOW: Daylight Saving Time ... I have my eye on you!

SWEET!!! I didn't know about this..I am going to order right now!

Amy said...

Are those the Carinessa II ones? Because I've heard good things about them...maybe I'll have to try them.

Allison said...

Seriously? Carinessa II isn't the same thing as the Carinessa I've been wearing? If I'd known that...if the sweet little distribution center old ladies hadn't told me that, no, there weren't any new styles of garments, well, the Carinessa, but they weren't all that new...dang!

Okay, so when will they come out with a t-shirt style for women? And why did I miss out on this extensive worldwide survey? I'd go to RS if I didn't have to go to Primary instead! But seriously, I can't be the only one dying for a t-shirt style...right?

Oh, and hi, I'm Allison. A bloggy friend of Lolee and frequent stalker of your blog (I may have commented once or twice before - can't remember.) You're funny and real and I like you, and if I lived in Utah I'd want to be your neighbor.

I don't suppose I'm lucky enough that they redesigned the maternity ones while they were at it?

I'll have to check when we head to the temple Tuesday....

They really need to make Carinessa maternity ones with a panel....

katie said...

Oh, I am so grateful it was garments and not Daylight Savings! Whew! I was worried for a minute:)

Motherboard said...

Hot Dang! I better get myself over the distrubtion center STAT.

The current ones I own are baggy-McBaggy pants. Grrr.

Persimmon said...

So...WHAT MODEL were they?! I'm curious on behalf of all men everywhere. We don't like the baggy McBaggyPants on our women, either. My wife has all of your issues - too high, too low, too bunchy, too too too. Are you seriously telling me that there's women's garments that don't look like an ill conceived white kitchen trash bag? Really?

We just ordered six months ago.

Somehow I have the feeling that my lovely wife will find some way to sabotage this great news. Like with a guilt-ridden worry that the new garments might not be the true garments, that comfort is Satan's filthy flaxen cord luring her to show some knee.
