Big knickers or not to be big knickers, that is the question????

So I am now in my early sixties and in recent years have been wearing VPL Brazilian briefs which in fairness have been reasonably comfy. However after a recent spate of ill health and hospital visits, I have found myself reaching for BIG KNICKERS? Is this the end for me, is it a step too far or am I being unreasonable?

Don't get me wrong, they aren't the type of knickers that can combine as chest warmers but they aren't exactly sexy, and my husband prefers me with them off anyway 😁🤣.

So what do you think:

YANBU: is it OK to wear those big bottom warmers
YABU: Girl, you are too young to abandon the Brazilians?

God I find Brazilian knickers awful and I’m not yet 40, big knickers and shorts all the way for me.
