To want to wear big knickers all the time

[josine32]

Hello there!

Well ladies, my other half (English) - I'm Dutch - says only his Mum and other 'old women' wear these! Found it crazy to say the least as he says he hates me wearing them. I always buy white M&S ones. So AIBU or not?

I'll let you ladies decide!

Big knickers change lives.

They are the best. They make me feel like a grown-up. 😂

I do not miss the feeling of a flimsy piece of material settling up my arse. I'm not even convinced that little pants are attractive unless you weigh about 3 stone, look like a supermodel and are a bronzed goddess.

Big pants forever. Tell him to wear skimpy pants for a day and report back. 😂

This thread is even older than my granny pants! 🤦‍♀️

Oh it’s a flipping zombie!

[GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing]

Wear boxers?

I wear big knickers but they aren’t white - not sure if that makes a difference- I get multi coloured packs of them in a sort of jersey fabric.

I might switch to women’s boxers as they do look quite good imo

What a strange zombie thread to resurrect.

[UnctuousUnicorns]

Definitely nbu, I've had these for over three years now, lovely thick, soft cotton; they wash well and are so comfortable.

Nope hate them! I live in thongs, I am used to them being up my bum now! My husband also wouldn’t find massive pants attractive and I can see why. But it’s your bottom so wear what you want!!

[ColeenKav]

Mmmm. wonder why that is? 🤔

[ColeenKav]

Mmmm, I wonder why might that be? 🤔

Today is my first day in french knickers since DS was born 14 weeks ago. I'm going back to the belly warmers tomorrow

[OrangeLily]

Wear what you want but you can get comfy thing too. I generally wear comfy thongs and don't have any issues with them but they have to be cotton.

I can kind of see his point because I like DH in nice tight boxers because he has a very good arse and don't like when he wears other stuff. He used to have a few old man loose boxers but they've gone.

I like big knickers. They're my bum cheeks and if I want them warm then it's my decision:o

[Noren]

Start wearing boxers! They are great.

[LetMeAtTheWine]

I scrolled too. Now my eyes hurt

[ooer]

YANBU. Big pants rock. What is wrong with wanting that degree of comfort all the time? [I also don't wear pointy-toed shoes!]

[Lueji]

I think for the most part those jockstraps things are not used by the type of men that we (women) would go to bed with... IYSWIM.
But I could be wrong, of course...

[bedmonster]

Oh YANBU, another one here who got sucked into the big M&S pants (just high leg brief types but full bum coverage, they don't have that massive tummy panel thing) and now can't go back!
I have loads of pretty, sexy, glamorous, knickers for various occasions, or if i'm going out, just cos I like getting dressed up, but the majority of the time, i'm in my sensible pants. Nothing quite like 'em. Thongs are a complete mystery to me. I wore them as a teen as that was what everyone did but there wasn't much of a purpose to them apart from discomfort.

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

Oh my!!

[FarBetterNow]

One hot day (long ago), I decided to go to work wearing silk french knickers under a flowing skirt.
I thought they would be airy and comfortable.
By lunchtime they were cutting me in half so much that I took them off, (in the loo).
But even being knickerless was not as comfy as my big sloggis that just have one seem at the back.

[Lovecat]

I scrolled.

WTF are those straps all about? DH only wears boxers, I feel like I've delved into a whole other world of men's undies looking at those... contraptions!

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

Oh, so now I've got to go back to the site...

[louisianablue2000]

Tell him they areen't big pants, they are shorts. Just like he's wearing.

[NuhichNuhaymuh]

You also made me scroll to the bottom Lueji You are awful

I agree if he's wearing boxers nowt wrong with equally sized pants. If he thinks you should be in a thong tell him to start wearing penis gloves....

Or check any other of the following 2 pages, actually.

:o

I need some

Regarding knickers, I don't wear thongs. End of.
(unless with the specific purpose of removing within the following 5 min)

[BabyMakesTheBellyGoRound]

I love big knickers. Don't know or care what dh thinks of my knickers.
