i mean there is like what an ounce of material?!? and they are like 4-10 bucks each!! you can get more covering (but not granny panties) like 3 for 5 or so.. is it because they are stylish? but honestly its not like there are many designs for them!!

If I brought a selection along for you to try on and let me say how they looked on you, I might be able to explain why they are soooo expensive! Actually, for all the stitching that goes into them (not to mention the extremely good eyesight that makes it possible) even $10 is incredibly cheap! You should see what these things cost over here (in the UK)! Tough, isn't it, that, when you meet your man, it's just a second or two before he has them off (and you wonder why you bothered)!

I think my point might have been 'Why wear any at all?' ... then again, I'm not sure what my point was, LOL. If you was my gal, and you wanted summat for $10, I'd be happy to say yes, if you thought it made you more sexy!

I wondered the same thing. I usually buy them from GAP. They have buy 3 for a certain price, but it's still quite expensive. I think its around $6 each. I think I should learn how to sew so that I can make my own. LOL

I don't wear them but it is more than likely because they are in style, anything in style cost more just because people want them and they are in high demand and people will pay just about anything for them.

Its the popualrity/sexy factor. The sexier the skimpier the clothing the more expensive it is. Look at the sexy nighties that are 40 or 50 dollars when you can get warm comfy flannel pjs for 20-30 dollars.
