underwear
For years, I've had 2 or 3 okay pairs with minor holes or damage, and then a friend bought me a couple really nice pair that I liked, but they squeeze my waist a little tight (something I'm very sensitive to) so they are comfy for labor & workouts but not for casual hangs.
This has meant an unexciting amount of smelling dirty undies to make sure I can wear them again.
I had backup undies... too small, or uncomfortable, or something. But like I said, I'm sensitive to sensory stuff so these just ... they weren't in rotation. And those two or 3 okay pairs continued deteriorating & are barely useable at this point (now they're my backups!)
WELL. My mom recently gave me $100 dedicated to just buying clothes for myself, and I spent about $20 on a 6-pack of undies from Walmart, then exchanged them twice to finally get some that were actually comfortable. (why did Large fruit of the looms squeeze me to death? XL George's were too large & XL Fruits were out of stock. Large George's were good so I landed on those.)
Finally, I washed them all yesterday. As I was folding them to put away, it just washed over me, the realization that this is the first time in years that I've felt like I had enough underwear.
It was a really nice feeling.
