these in fact I bought them yesterday and they are enormously (if you'll pardon the pun) comfortable.

I'm so tired of wearing lacy knickers that rub on my caesarean scar, turn into thongs under jeans and generally make me feel uncomfortable all day long - am I the only one?!

oh god noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. i do often go comando. but i would never wear those hideous things.

I think that some big knickers are sexier than cutting into flesh skimpies, I think I look better in big pants and a vest than in small knickers and a bra, I know I feel better!

redfairy · 30/06/2011 20:45

Applecatchers!

Essential after a C-section I would say but the floral is particularly hideous.
I would put comfort over style anyday but I NEVER put my 'big' knickers on the line or let my DH take them out of the drier, much to his amusement.

YES KNICKERS are paRT OF THE ENGLISH PSYCHE. THROWBACK TO VICTORIAN TIMES.

sloggies · 30/06/2011 20:47

why do you think I use this name.....Grin

NettoSuperstar · 30/06/2011 20:49

No, no,no,no,no.
As long as I live I will never wear ugly knickers.

joric · 30/06/2011 20:49

Ahh, the high rise, full brief.... Machine wash and tumble dry which is a good job really as the 7 pack take up the entire washing line. Not liking the flowery ones though - bit frumpy compared to the black ones I wear. Good reviews on m+s site too, especially the one from Gary in Sussex.
P.s joking aside, I actually do own these I am sad to say :( :)

C-Section scar make these invaluable - still can't go back to my drawer of pretty high legs. Tried a pair last week and lasted for all of ten minutes before getting sore and grumpy - and the scar is 9 months old. Angry
Anyone know when it gets better (and how to get rid of the little scar shelf?! Blush)

floweryblue · 30/06/2011 20:55

They don't have to be ugly Netto

MissBetsyTrotwood · 30/06/2011 21:07

I have to say that big knickers seem to look the best under my prettiest clothes. Or commando. But I'm not risking that. Blush

spiderslegs · 30/06/2011 21:15

ttalloo, I will not allow you to buy these pants.

Really.

You know it's wrong.

Big pants are only acceptable if they're slightly pervy.

I would rather soil my jeans than wear these abberations.

pinkyredrose · 30/06/2011 21:19

sorry but they are truely disgusting

Callisto · 30/06/2011 21:27

Fuck me, they are hideous. Can you not get some cotton, stretchy thongs?

Callisto · 30/06/2011 21:28

Spiders - pervy big knickers?

HeidiKat · 30/06/2011 21:29

I got some similar to those when pregnant as none of my normal ones sat comfortably under the bump, somehow the big ones have become normal wear and all my pre pregnancy ones are languishing at the back of the drawer.

Smellslikecatpee · 30/06/2011 21:32

ok if plain and not floral, I feel sexier when comfy rather than when a bit of knicker crawing up my bum!!!

GreenEyesandHam · 30/06/2011 21:36

YANBU

For me, it's sexy knickers for the bedroom , big ole comfy, smooth grannypants under my clothes.

I have actually been known to wear the big pants under a sexy dress all night, then run to the loo and switch to the sexy's once home. Just so I don't spoil the big 'undress' thing Grin.

And this is with my husband, who knows full well the contents of my pants drawer.

BulletWithAName · 30/06/2011 21:37

Oh God no. There is no excuse for those EVER!

Yes Calliso witness big pervy pants

PacificDogwood · 30/06/2011 21:42

May I recommend these?

They are comfy on CS scar.
They allow no muffin top.
They do have a leetle bit of lace.
They are cotton mostly.
Caution: they come up huge. Go down a size - seriously.

BulletWithAName · 30/06/2011 21:43

They are much nicer pacific
