Anyone who looks at me funny I have no problem staring back with a look that says I have a woman who needs me - deal with it. Going to pick up (not pick out) bras is dicey - seeing an entire display of pasties at checkout was a little beyond my comfort zone...</p>Alice commented on 'A bit of marital advice'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a7913d79970b2009-12-31T12:48:13Z2009-12-31T12:48:13ZAlice David, David, David.

<p>I have no problem buying bras and panties. Nor do the salesclerks have a problem when I buy bras and panties (they're clearly not for me).</p>
<p>Panties, however, are easier to buy for another person than bras, because of the errrm, how shall I put it, errrm, "complexity" of boob shapes. And their placement on the torso. <br />
It's a bit of an issue. Not all mammary glands are equal, and it takes skill to judge which cup might fit better.

I was astounded at the amount of products, most of which I had no clue whatsoever as to their purpose. I still have no clue. It's probably better this way.</p>Ilana-Davita commented on 'A bit of marital advice'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef012876916641970c2009-12-30T20:46:41Z2009-12-30T20:46:41ZIlana-Davitahttp://ilanadavita.wordpress.com/You can't blame Zahava; Marks & Spencer's underwear rock.<p>You can't blame Zahava; Marks & Spencer's underwear rock.</p>RivkA commented on 'A bit of marital advice'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a78eb231970b2009-12-30T20:30:00Z2009-12-30T20:30:00ZRivkAhttp://coffeeandchemo.comReal men aren't intimidated by women's lingerie.<p>Real men aren't intimidated by women's lingerie.</p>Mordechai Y.

And they keep changing stuff around or changing the packages, so I have to stand there and continue searching... Aaargh!

<p>Men, if you find yourself in a situation where your wife has asked you to do something annoying and of a personal nature involving lingerie, please resist the urge to blog about it.</p>
<p>Unless, of course, your intention is to embarrass her... in which case, disregard this advice.</p>

Or maybe HaMashbir is out of business...................if so, doesn't another store stock M & S merchandise? I've been in London when the Marks and Spencers was being picketed for being evil Zionists, and I made it a point to go in and buy, buy, buy......and then walk out waving lots of M & S carrier bags. Surely, one can purchase their products in the Land.</p>treppenwitz commented on 'A bit of marital advice'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a78d7b8c970b2009-12-30T15:02:08Z2009-12-30T15:02:08Ztreppenwitzhttp://www.treppenwitz.comHadassah ...

<p>Dave (Balashon) ... Not as bad as the time my female study partner at Hebrew U (a British ex-pat) asked me if I had a rubber. I thought I was getting lucky when all she really wanted was an eraser. :-)</p>

<p>I know an American man who went into a British department store and asked for suspenders. The saleslady asked if it was for his wife, and he insisted they were for him...
