Why can’t I find any sturdy foundation garments with re-inforced gussets? Sorry that my BIF (bum-in-front) isnt as flat as it should be… I can’t help that it all hangs out. I just want a gusset that lasts.

Just use a wheel barrow.
LMFAO!
Do some sit-ups!
I’m not sure what a gusset is, or if they’re even made anymore, but the last time I was at Sears, they had an impressive array of firm support undergarments. My mother told me, you better shop around.
Or perhaps some loosely fitting skirts are the ticket.
At least OP ADMITS she’s got a FUPA.
I mean that’s gotta be worth SOMETHING.
You might try a staple gun rather than those fucking ‘foundation’ garments. I’m sure they were created during the Spanish Inquisition.
so is missionary style actually doggy style in this situation?
Close you eyes and choose.
I recommend a gerdle. Or if worst comes to worst, LIPO. If that doesn’t solve your troubles, resort to TTFN’s said wheelbarrow.
I choose doggy style while they are laying on their back!
“back of the her head down …and her pelvic thrust up!”
ok, I don’t know what FUPA is but I assume it’s an acronym and I know a phrase that fits so I’m gonna go with that until told otherwise….
I also do not know what a gusset is and don’t really feel like knowing….google be damned.
Hm… I AM curious. It sounds so old fashionedy…
“a triangular or square piece of fabric inserted into a seam to add breadth or reduce stress.”
So, kind of like darts I guess. But triangular. Or square.
The things you LEARN! I’m trembling with excitement!
Because noone expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Sorry, had to go there.
Keep on looking. If that fails, go on the internet for your foundation needs. If that fails, wheelbarrow seems to be the consensus here.
OK, to actually be helpful. The OP is likely referring to the crotch area. From the wikipedia entry on gusset, “Gussets are used in manufacturing of modern tights or pantyhose to add breadth at the crotch seam; these gussets are often made of breathable fabrics for hygiene.” Makes sense that OP would want one that lasts, but how can you tell before you wear one that the gusset is crap?
“pretty things boutique” carry support body under garments, great things they are they can slim you down from knees to boobs. If you want that kind of thing.
Do they not make spanx in your size?
I think I need a reinforced gusset just to read this as I’m pissing myself laughing.
They are just that little bit of extra material in panties where the ‘junk’ builds up…lol.
I *heart* TTFN.
P.S. *barf*
