Yes, Cari! Even before PNE, I found tags to be irritating. May I suggest cutting it out? ;)

Lots of brands are tagless now. I've tried jocky and hanes and liked them. When I can't find what I want in the store, I buy them online.

Tags on the underwear, what about the underwear itself! At my worst, when I was still working I couldn't wear underwear. I would wear long dresses or skirts and would stay out of any wind :lol: . I can wear underwear now. Makes the husband quite sad :lol: .

Hey, I don't have a problem with the tags in underwear, but I find that if you cut a 1 to 2 inch slit down the middle of the top front part of the underwear, it helps relieve pressure on the perineum and bladder, and helps me. Whatever works right! :)
