Old Pueblo Traders - Intimate Appeal has a new product #GM40907 -
called a "boy-leg panty". They offer up to size 12, which according to
their sizing chart is 40" hips. I'm looking for a product like this
one that will fit 45" hips, which would make it a "Womens" size, as
opposed to "Misses". The key elements are: 1) It's made of
polyester/spandex, 2) It has form fitting legs 3) It has a
cotton-lined crotch, 4) It's a panty, not a girdle.

Is this the style you're looking for? Do you have color preferences?
Do you have price limits?

Hello again rikki973-ga,

My preliminary search shows that ?boy-leg panties? come in a variety
of lengths and waist styles. How long do you want yours to be?
Mid-thigh like the above example? Would shorter or longer be OK? Do
you want a panty that goes to the waist, like the above example? Would
you accept hip hugger styles that are lower? How low? Please spell out
your requirements more fully. There are a lot of options. Thanks.

Price: the Old Pueblo product is $18.99 for 3 pair. I'm looking for
roughly that price range. I could go up to maybe $9 or $10/pair max.

Color: Any color is ok, but my first choice would be black, white,
beige or any pale pastel.

Leg length: Must be mid thigh or longer. The longer the better. Must
be form fitting, not loose like a coulotte/slip would be.

Fit: Hip hugger is NG. Must come up to the waist.

Material: The material is extremely important. Must be a smooth finish
material that wouldn't catch on itself when thighs touch, with spandex
or perhaps stretch lace, to create a clingy fit. (Cotton or cotton
blend would NOT be good)

Must have a cotton lined crotch.

Hello rikki973-ga,

I know how frustrating it is when you?ve found something that you like
but it?s not available in your size. I?m afraid the search for your
?boy-leg panty? that meets all your requirements has been very
frustrating.

I?ve found about a half dozen panties that might be suitable but none
of them have everything that you specified. I?m afraid it simply
doesn?t exist. Either it?s not available in your size, the length of
the leg is not quite long enough, the fabric specifications aren?t
clear enough, the price is somewhat higher than what you hoped for and
on and on. I?m reluctant to post an answer, especially in light of
your ratings on prior answers. I?d like you to be completely happy but
since I haven?t found EXACTLY what you?re looking for I?m not sure
that I have a sufficient answer that will meet your needs. Please let
me know if you want the links to the six panties that I think come
fairly close.

I look forward to your clarification.

If the styles that you have located come in sizes that would fit a 45
inch hip, then please send me what you have found. If all of my
crieteria are not met there is still value in learning that what I'm
looking for may not be available.

I was surprised at your comment about my closing evaluations. Three
stars when the item wasn't found, but a good substitute was offered.
Four stars when the item was found but the telephone number provided
was out of service. Am I misapplying the star system? I've tried to be
objective and fair.

Hello again rikki973-ga,

Thank you for clarifying and telling me that you were interested in
whatever results I was able to come up with. As I said in my
clarification, I?m not sure if any of the panties I?ve listed are
exactly the same as the one in the link you posted. I hope that at
least some of the ones I?ve been able to locate will be suitable. I?ve
included my search strategy so you can duplicate what I?ve done if you
want to continue your explorations for the perfect panty.

Wishing you well.

SEARCH STRATEGY

"boy-leg " OR "boy shorts"

There may not be 1 panty that meets all my criteria. (Sort of like
looking for the perfect man!) Looks like you did quite a thorough
search.

heh i'll let one of the female reseacher's grab this one...

Hello rikki973-ga,

I'm glad you found the information useful. Thank you for the five stars and tip.
