We had the same problem! Lol I was able to go in store as I was weary to order online with all the Amazon sizing snafus... how do they fit?!
I'm an Amazon ho (ho ho), so I've long stopped worrying about fit, I just send it back if it doesn't. These ones arrived a tiny bit tight (M), but I have yet to decide if they're *too* tight if you know what I mean. Frankly I'd rather be naked. They weren't too expensive, so I may just order a couple in (L) to compare. Ultimately Mary will decide (of course), and she hasn't seen them on me yet.
I remember those 32 sizes years ago even though I'm a few sizes north of 32 I still wear the small bottoms at TTR. T
I just got the first delivery of what was picked out. its a semi sheer hose thong. not as bad as I thought.... but I'm still going to try and see what other options there are and squats, going to do lots of squats and lunges till we fly
