Am I right in thinking that low-cut knickers make your tummy look big? |
(8 Posts) |
M&S Body range boyshorts are lovely and comfy and cover a bit of the tummy bulge!
If I buy a size bigger the bum's too big (my derriere is very flat} SO big pants in a smaller size works for me
Yes I buy a size bigger too.
More boring pants for me then.

i do too.
i buy thongs and "little" knickers a size bigger to avoid the bulge around the seams.

yep I agree
Big kaks are the business
nothing worse than the waist band digging into your tummy and accentuating it's lovely wobbles

Just me then 
Or is it just mine?
My "normal" boring M&S plain white knickers look ok but my semi-shorty style elle mcpherson ones just seem to emphasise my tummy.
Am I imagining this?
I don't actually have much of a tummy, am size 10 but obviously after 2 kids and no time for sit-ups there is a bit of overhang.
Want to buy some new comfortable knickers but fear may just have to stick to boring 6 white 6 packs of 'briefs'.
