Can someone design proper knickers?

Can someone design proper knickers? This makes me feel like I am going insane, but women’s knickers seem like they are getting smaller and smaller, or at least are more randomly sized.   Basically I think that everything has gotten skinnier in the crotch area. I feel like I am barely covered down there.

Not only that, pads have gotten skinnier too. Sometimes I think I have made a mistake and bought thong type knickers or pads – but no, everything has just gotten smaller.  And it’s not just that sizes have changed – it’s a gamble wearing underwear today. I walked into a popular underwear store today (in Australia) and walked out thinking those would only cover one half of me. They surely cannot be healthy for women.

The result is that I have ended up wearing boy shorts or granny pants. I am not bringing the sexy back. Can someone just design proper knickers, please!?
