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?!

@ flowery, make sure you dont buy black.

Thongs are just wrong

'shitty strings'? Bleuurrggh! Didn't she wash her arse? Lol

Good quality black lasts ok Fifi, depending on how long you expect knickers to last!

Mine dont last long as one of the dogs eats the gussets out of them if it manages to pinch them out the washing basket

In my teens and twenties I loved my thongs. I clearly remember saying as much to an older colleague

'Just wait. You won't'

was her doom laden reply.

I dont know how she knew, but She Was Right. I hit thirty and thongs were no longer friends o' mine

So, how long should a pair of knickers last then?? Black, or of any other colour?

I love big pants [old]

I am almost positive that I have pants at least 10 years of age.

When was the last time any of us were ravished unexpectedly in a well-lit room? Because that is the only reason to wear scanties and a matching bra. Spontaneous prancing-about shagging. It doesn't happen any more, girls. Not that often, anyway. Big comfy pants that you wriggle out of under the covers if required are much more practical.

I'm afraid I just can't wear big pants, I can't.
I need to know that what's going on under my clothes looks hot, even if I don't.

Thongs = Devils cheese slicer .

Evil, evil things. Yes, I am now Old, but hated them even when I was a young, flightly thing

Ive got some well over a year old kicking about in my draw. Once they look a bit dodgey they are period knickers.

Pantorexia

No arse-trinkets for me, no sirree.

As an ex-thong wearer I'd also like to extol the virtues of the big-knicker.

When in hospital recovering from my c-section, I asked my mum to please get me some huge kacks to avoid scar rubbage.

She returned with 14 pairs of very voluminous full briefs from Tesco in....mint

Absolutely BoF

I would rather spend my evening looking sleek and seamfree (rather than feeling uncomfy and appearing to posess four buttocks), and wriggle out or replace the big pants pre shag.

Pacific- phew!

creased at BoF's link. I bet his mam didnt think her knickers would get a write up in the Times

yy re sloggi floweryblue. Had a pair in my teens, miss them to this day. Though nowadays I can't seem to find this brand in anything less than a size 10 :(

Try it Netto I dare you, big fat comfy pants with a lacy bit, I bet you feel comfy and sexy coz yu are comfy

Sloggi pants are the best, don't know how they do it but just the best at no VPL, even given the give in my 40 year old arse. They used to do a fab range which included bras for the smaller breasted, who actually are quite happy with a small handful and don't see the need to pad it, but they don't any more.

YANBU. Big pants are fab (not keen on chintzy pants though ).

Big sloggi pants are not so fab as they develop holes where the elastic separates from the fabric.

M&S big pants generally great (and very generously sized, so I can buy smaller than my usually size and feel somewhat sylph-like).

Hurray for big pants! Just say no to bum floss!

Another bloomers girl here. After cancer surgery, can't wear frilly,lacy little numbers any more - belly now an odd shape and scar sticks out over the top - not a good look. Like something capacious and comfortable. DH doesn't seem to mind. And I can still have fun buying and wearing pretty bras.

Before I had cancer, I bought a matching bra and thong and did a strip for DH. Did not have the desired effect as he was rendered completely helpless with mirth at sight of my arse in a thong. Once I'd ditched it, normal service was resumed and I've never worn the devil's cheese slicer since.
