Well, for starters, try one leg at a time, no matter how famous or important you are. Step both legs into your panty, then pull it up until the waistband is at the desired location. Check and make sure your crotch is centered and pulled forward. Now, starting at the sides, run your fingers along and under the elastic of the leg openings towards the back to make sure the back panel is properly cupping your buttocks. Finally, run your fingers around the inside of the waistband to set it evenly at the waist.

How often should I replace my lingerie?
In practical terms, an everyday bra or panty would last about six months but if you follow the 'care' instructions strictly, then your lingerie may last longer. Once you find your lingerie has begun to lose shape or look faded, it would mean that it is time for a replacement.
