Website Encourages Moms to Surrender to Frump (and Pee Pee Pants)

The term "MILF" is thrown around with such zeal these days, one assumes that modern mommies spend all the live long day jetting from spa to plastic surgeon to personal trainer.  Luckily, there are sites like this that remind us frump is not our enemy and should be embraced with a gentle maternal acceptance, along with incontinence and comfortable shoes.

As We Change sells jeans and other "shaping" clothing for the woman who is waving the white flag at vanity. These clothes yell "I give up!" and "I have no plans to be sexual this decade!"  A prime example is the underwear pictured right, which not only tucks in your tummy, it also helps manage your incontinence with a useful pee pee panel.

The site does make some effort by selling bedroom enhancements, but they are dated and frowsy like the rest of the wares pushed here.  Remember feminine deodorant spray? It's baaaaaaack. 

So while MILF is overused and Mommy Looks Like a Sex Kitten is overdone,  I'll take too much leather and tattoo artistry over huge mom jeans and FDS any day of the week.

I dunno. I think the leather/tattoo artistry approach just makes you look desperate to cling to the last vestiges of your "wild" youth. I'm ready for my pee-pee panties now, thanks.

OMG, I'm on that catalog mailing list!!! I was so insulted the first time it showed up on my doorstep. But by the time I was done reading *every word* I had a whole new understanding of what we all have to look forward to.

Pee pee pants indeed.

They sell "Not Your Daughter's" jeans!  Do they count as frump???  I have a couple pairs and I think they're cute.  My ultra low rise flare-wearing days are over, and I'm only 28!  Oh, well.  I could definitely use the pee pee panel as well, I wonder if those panties come in low-rise...(yes I am doing my Kegels)

I'd rather die. But then again, I have pee pee on my slut jeans.

i guess maybe my tattoos should have fallen off when my baby popped out.  seriously though, there has to be a happy medium, nice medium rise jeans with a boot cut maybe and boy shorts panties, right, maybe?

Mmmm, taupe. I'm getting all worked up just thinking about it.

Seconding the happy medium comment. My c-section scar makes low-rise jeans a really bad idea, unless anyone would like to see the entirety of my soft stretchy belly? No? K then. But must all other jeans reach for the stars? My boobs need no denim covering, thanks. Stupid short torso.

I've been doing the boyshort thing (thanks, Cosabella!) and the midrise bootcut jeans since long before I was a mom; Joe's Jeans has some great jeans in an 8"-9" rise that look hot without exposing any belly.  And long tee shirts work with the low rise jeans pretty well to cover up the tummy flab.  I love J. Crew's perfect fit tees...  I look so skinny when I tuck them into my jeans and wear a wide belt!  Good luck :)

I owe the Jezebels my immortal soul or my first-born child or a case of Red Bull or something for this one. They posted about Binsi, a company that sells clothes to wear when you are giving birth . Because, as the OB quoted on the site says, &quot;Birth
