What knickers do you wear?

Couldn't think of a less blunt title so I apologise for that, I went shopping for some new underwear and the number of different styles amazed me, it made me wonder what is most popular or most commonly worn.
Me personally I've always gone with a BoyShort because I find them most comfortable and any styles that sit directly on the bikini line usually cause me a rash so I avoid them.

What do other women mostly wear?

None.. 🙄

Tangas - although I've always just referred to them as thongs 🤷🏼‍♀️

I haven't worn regular underwear (aside from a few weeks after birth) in 25years. I hate the feeling of them and the fact you can see panty lines.

Depends what I’m wearing - high cut or bikini often.

LST · 06/05/2021 19:39

People saying none, do you mean none at all or none that are listed?

Hipsters

Full briefs or high cut usually, as I wear a lot of dresses with tights and hate the feeling of knickers ending much lower down on my waist than the tights do.

YanTanTethera123 · 06/05/2021 19:48

Full briefs, comfortable and practical.

Muminabun · 06/05/2021 19:49

High cut briefs so comfy. You pervert 😂😂

Insertfunnyname · 06/05/2021 19:50

Classic briefs

Brazilian

FunnyWonder · 06/05/2021 20:05

Biiiiig. Yeah, classic here. Have tried control but the fat's gotta go somewhere and I like to keep it where I can see it, then I don't get any nasty shocks.

DramaAlpaca · 06/05/2021 20:06

Comfy ones

Caramelsmadfuzzytail · 06/05/2021 20:48

Bikini briefs and a cross between full and control briefs.

clipclop5 · 06/05/2021 21:08

Calvin Klein bikinis

Tanfastic · 06/05/2021 21:12

High cut briefs. It used to be tangas and bikinis but they just don't work for my figure now unfortunately 😫

VerbenaGirl · 06/05/2021 21:15

Classic now. All about the comfort!

iamaclumsytwat · 06/05/2021 21:40

Apple catchers - extremely large pants. A perfect size to catch any falling apples Grin

Gilead · 06/05/2021 22:43

Classic, but I’m 62. Having said that dd1 rang me yesterday to tell me she’d bought granny knickers and she’s never been so comfortable!

womaninatightspot · 06/05/2021 22:47

Classic high waisted pants for me. Bought some from Wirapa on Amazon as recommended by another poster and they're great.

Allthereindeersaregirls · 06/05/2021 23:05

Hipsters or bikinis. I find they work for any outfit. The key to no vpl is size/ thickness of seams and whether the pants are the right size for them bum. I've seen some terrible vpl from things.

Giggorata · 06/05/2021 23:11

I like what used to be called tangas but with a bum, not a thong. Basically, two triangles with a thin strip.
They are very hard to find now. I bought 2 packs of ten a while back, but I think they have been discontinued. ☹️

BestestBrownies · 06/05/2021 23:23

@ShowOfHands
Do those Oddballs boxers have a soft elastic waistband? I too only wear lady boxers (boyshorts are never long enough in the leg), and my usual ones have swapped from a lovely soft elastic to a horrible hard, non-stretchy one.

Immaback · 06/05/2021 23:28

Bikinis!

DartmoorChef · 06/05/2021 23:30

None. I can't stand the feeling of them.
