Hundreds of plus-size fashion stores and more Ultimate Plus-Size Shopping List!

My mother always used to stress the importance of wearing good undergarments. Her reasoning “If you have an accident in public it would be very embarrassing if your underwear is not decent”. As I grew older, I used to think to myself… but if I had an accident, would I not be covered in blood, or wouldn’t the paramedics be too busy trying to save me rather than thinking- OMG her underwear is awful!

Poor Jennifer Garner, is proof you don’t even need to have an accident to suffer the humiliation of bad underwear. For those that have not seen the pictures. Imagine wearing jeans, bending down and revealing pants with holes and elastic yearning to be recycled. So plus size gals, don’t get caught out, update your lingerie drawer and consider stocking up on what are arguably ten essential items for your drawer.
