Default Garment Complaints:

I really don't have many complaints about the specific styles and varieties of garments offered. My only complaint about garments in general would be that usually as soon as I find a style I like, it disappears before the next time I buy garments.

My wife, on the other hand would probably join CG if she knew there was a place she could gripe about the lack of selection of garments without being frowned upon. Her issue isn't an inconvenience issue as much as it is a discomfort issue. According to her, the little bitty waistband cuts into her waist like a knife. I suppose if she were a tubby-ass with plenty of padding on the hips it wouldn't be such a concern, but being the slender vixen that she is, it's a problem.

Any of you female endoweds have the same problem? Any of you men married to female endoweds ever hear this gripe?

My wife wears ultra-high pressure support hose (40 mm Hg - $125 per pair). I am sure she never notices the garment pressure.

My spouse has griped consistently about the bad fit, the lack of sizes and a variety of other concerns, so much so that I called somebody who claimed to be in charge at the local temple and in SLC. Apparently if you complain loud and hard enough, you can get custom design for your garments. The question is cost, and they're not cheap if SLC determines there isn't a viable option, something to the tune of 90 bucks per set.

90 bones? Wow. I must now ensure that my wife never discovers this.

I heard Adam knows the man in SLC who designs the women's garments. Send all complaints to him.

My wife usually wears a size or 2 bigger than she should for comfort. Unless she is wearing shorts, when she wears the ones that are too small for her.

As an aside, I recently bought some for the first time in years, and my new ones are quite a bit loinger in the leg than my old ones. Did they lengthen the legs? Or have my old ones just shrunk over time? Half of my shorts are going to be out of commission. They are mesh, if it matters.

When my wife recently went to purchase some new ones for me...they asked her if she wanted them "long." So perhaps that is just an option now...

This doesn't stop a lot of people. They either need to wear longer shorts (look like women's capris), just wear long pants or just put on a pair of whitey tighties when they are wearing shorts.
