Little kids in undies9/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Luckily, the “Health & Wellness” section does have specialty underwear – that is, incontinence and period underwear (the latter being fairly new arrivals). Nearby Victoria Park New World carries a better selection of cotton socks, as well as a disposable rain poncho in the apparel area, but still no undies. On Queen Street in Auckland Central, New World Metro has 22 different types of tights, knee-highs and footlets as well as five types of cotton socks on offer, but no undies. The rest of the New Worlds, over 100, are undie-free zones, despite many of them having an extensive range of hosiery. ![]() Are centrally based Wellingtonians more underwear hungry than the rest of the country? Do all those highly educated civil servants have a lot of unfortunate accidents? Are they having too much fun, getting too old, or is every washing machine in Wellington acting up? ![]() They are both in Wellington’s CBD – the New World Metro on Willis Street, and the regular-sized New World on Wakefield Street. Two of those are a less-than-15-minute walk apart. For people who need undies, it’s bad news.Īccording to .nz, only a handful of the 144 New Worlds around Aotearoa stock undies (cotton bikini briefs and trunks). In Waihi there’s a beach bag, in Tokoroa there are hi-vis socks and gloves, Motueka and Westport have floral cotton handkerchiefs that no one under 100 years old ever uses, Whangamatā has pink bunny infant slippers, and Wellington city has a blue baby beanie with two big fluffy ears.ĭespite these minor variations in detail courtesy of the owner of the store in question, the bulk of stock is the same, so there are common trends. She seals your fate: “No, we don’t have any.”Īs previously reported by The Spinoff, New World’s franchise model means its offerings change based on location. The longer you linger in the aisle, not finding any undies, the more you feel under suspicion of shoplifting, so you decide to ask her. On offer will be tight, synthetic hosiery in all shapes, sizes and opacities: tan 15 denier tights, sheer knee-highs, fleece leggings, silky-feel sheer ankle fits, and so many tan 15 denier no-show footlets.Įven though there’s hustle and bustle in the supermarket this rainy morning, this particular aisle is empty apart from you and a worker restocking Garnier Fructis Papaya Hair Food. Many of the legs will be up, and the feet will be pointed, as if the person lives their life elegantly stuck in a Pilates pose. There are undies there, right?īut as you scuttle down aisle nine of New World Mount Roskill, a waking nightmare unfolds: the images on the packages that in your mind’s eye were undies instead show variations of feet and legs. You might rush to the nearest supermarket, supposedly your one-stop shop for day-to-day essentials, with a hazy image of that long aisle of non-edibles. In at least three possible examples of these occasions, you are going to need an emergency pair of underwear. ![]() There are times in life when things go horribly wrong and rushing straight home to hide is not an option. *If these are showing as out of stock, you may need to wait for the next stocking.Why do some supermarkets have hundreds of pairs of tights, but not a single pair of undies? Gabi Lardies goes in search of answers. Sizes: 18M - Kids 12 (My son outgrew size 18M by 12-months-old.)įabric: Stretchy bamboo rayon French terry Be sure to measure your child and check the size chart.

But at the same time I wished the layers were sewn together around the leg bands. I loved that the design allowed me to use these as training pants, while still being easy to wash. So they can be used as absorbent cloth training pants and then regular underwear. This allows you to add absorbency between the layers. They have a unique design, with two separate layers.
