To only ever wear granny pants

[flumpalump]

For the last few years I have only worn grey white cotton Bridget Jones style knickers (I must stress I have many pairs - I don't keep wearing the same pair). I first discovered them during pregnancy and I just can't give them up. Dh mocks me and regularly suggests I should get some more alluring underwear, I also have vpl sometimes but tbh I don't really care because they are comfortable and don't give me thrush. AIBU not to make more effort in the underwear department?

I have some hush puppy sandals, does that count?

I recently bought some granny pants from M+S.. they were meant to be no seam boxer style but they just looked awful...shiny and worse still one pair (multi pack) was nude colour. DH generally doesn't mind my granny pants but he shuddered and asked me to just throw them away (I did too..they were HORRIBLE)

Thought I'd stumbled on knicker nirvana when I saw the number of reviews, yup me and every hairy handed trucker wears my knickers

ooh, can i join this club?

Now i do have frilly white and sexy numbers that are at the front of the knicker drawer, but these are for burglers only. [ie they never get worn and are only for burglers rummaging around in my knocker drawer!)

all my most favourite, comfortable and everyday knickers are kept at the back!

MedusaIsHavingABadHairDay i have those nude knickers and my DD said that it looked like my bum [crack] has been rubbed out!

Had to google 'harvest festival knickers' - love it. Also smirking at 'bifuricated cheeks'.

Save my granny pants for slovenly days. When I wash them I always try and hide them inside to dry. Nothing worse than looking out the window and seeing knickers the size of parachutes billowing in the breeze.

Skimpy thongs every day for me, usually black & lacy but not always. Having a round bottom means it tends to gather up bigger knickers into an uncomfortable bunch between the buttocks (rather like a thong anyway) & I hate VPLs.

I thought my grandma was the only person to call them harvest festivals! Makes me happy to hear it is still in circulation.

I too started wearing them in pregnancy and have failed utterly to give them up.

I was advised to wear granny pants after a particularly nasty UTI that hospitalised me for nearly a week (sorry if TMI). They said that skimpy thong type undies help spread bacteria from your bottom to your lady bits (again TMI?) So there, granny pants are medically sanctioned!

Top shop do 3 pairs of pretty-but-comfy pants for a tenner - they're now my go-to pant suppliers. Though I just bought a new bra and it came with free matching pants. I feel very posh though I had to push past all the thongs on the rack to find the largest size of the full-bum-coverage equivalent
