to swap pretty, sexy knickers for big, sensible ones?!

[ttalloo]

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?!

YANBU.

I hide my big knickers from DP (my pride rather than his attitude) but love wearing them. They're like a hug from your own underwear.

YANBU

I think thongs and lacey knickers are so uncomfortable.

You can get some pretty big knickers which still look sexy.

Theres is nothing more uncomfortable than a thong or lacy knickers under skinny jeans. Yack.

I don't think YABU. I'd take comfort over the opposite any day. Have you tried Marks's midi range as an alternative to the full brief, or do they not come up high enough to cover your scar?

For the full brief though, perhaps not florals. M&S do nice pastel or neutral colours though.

Nowt wrong with big knickers IMO.

Oh God I have to say I read the thread before I clicked the link in the OP. Therefore, I thought I was prepared for the worst.

I wasn't!

Honestly, they are hideous on so many levels. Surely there must be another 'non flowery' solution OP?

No ive just done the same. Them knickers are awful.

Have a look on peacocks, they have some nice underwear which are really cheap.

Hehe I'd not clicked either

Still my POV is the same.

BIG PANTS ROCK

Eek, they are bad!

If you want high waisted, at least go for something pretty, like this or this

GreenEyes Have a click and peep through open fingers

Empusa - bloody hell, the 2nd ones are a bit flimsy

Re CS shelf - IME it does get better, but does no disappear .

I did not want to be rude about OP's flowery bloomers (see what I did there?? ), but they are seriously granny-ish.
IMO.

That's all.

Pacific exactly what I like to wear, and they look good and feel good

No I have clicked now worra.

If you squint a bit and move your head back from the screen, they don't look too bad..,

Anyhow, BIG PANTS ROCK!

But maybe the floral ones not so much

Spider - those are seriously large knickers. I think I'll stick with my little thongs (which are very comfy, even under skin tight jeans, even when I'm riding).

No No No Fifi, you can't go cheap, Sloggi or better it has to be

Bring back big pants. I am going to get some.

Flowery - no sloggi's for me. Ive got to do everything on he cheap and 3 for a fiver suits me, ive never had any complaints

i buy these, as it also tucks in my mummy tummy...i did try the control underwear and they are soo uncomfortable

I've taken 12 steps back and I'm squashed against the wall

Still not loving them

Midis are good for me (2x cs) and I've recently discovered some modal shorts from primark-extra comfy

Those flowery ones are a bit much, but really what does it matter if you are comfy.

I think I am thongaphobic, rather see big pants VPL than assume something scraping someone's bum hole.

The MnS shorts are nice - they do them with fruit on.

And honestly, at my age, I am past caring what anyone thinks of that.

Fair enough Fifi, I have a budget too, just have found cheap pants a false economy, I think 'bleaching' has been discussed on another thread

Also, re: thongs: my doctor mate used to call them 'shitty strings' and said they were responsible for some truly disgusting infections.

They're cool. Channeling Dolce&Gabbana S/S 2011. Lovely continental, retro, fifties looking things.
