Lingerie Industry to the Rescue

Yamada gave us a ride down to the harbor for the mandatory yearly physical exam. He was complaning about the students again and his problem was panties. One look this fall is jeans worn low on the hips with short tops that show a few centmeters of naval. He cited girls squattng down to smoke in the parking lot or leaning forward in their desks. The jeans ride down exposng a bit of panty-waistline real estate that Yamada found offensive, another sign of the level of students he had to put up with in his business classes.

There was a TV in the waiting room at the health center. As I was waiting for a chest x-ray, a panel of TV personalities were discussing the fashion issues of the day. Suddenly they brought up the panty problem. and announced a solution: the low-rise panty. Models appeared and leaned and squatted in various postures to show that these panties did their stuff. I looked around for Yamada, but he was off in another room having his eye sight checked. Low-rise briefs are also available for men.
