Girls knickers

I think it is time that manufacturers made girls knickers, mainly age 2 to at least 8years, full size instead of Bikini briefs. I am fed up of my grandchildren showing bare backs because their pants are so short in the body that their vests will not stay in, resulting in their backs getting cold, not good for the kidneys.
What do others think please?

We must demand that retailers only stock polo neck knickers!

Kidneys? You are nuts.

H&M or pretty much any high street chain will sell you cheap practical pants for children. I genuinely don't see the problem (and I have all kinds of other gripes with the high street). Also, still giggling at the kidneys.

If your grandkids' backs are cold, maybe buy them a jumper or a thermal vest.

Even the Next knickers are so skimpy in the crutch they might as well be things. DD2 (3) is wearing the age 5-6 ones that didn't cover DD1's 6 yo Crutch!

Are you really a granny talking about little girls knickers?
Or are you a hairy hander talking about little girls knickers?

I always thought thongs went between one's toes.

Like with flip flops.

I nearly bought 3yo DD boy pants the other day. They're bigger, the elastic is totally encased which must be more comfy and she's really into Batman right now :)

Mothercare pants are cut nicely imo.

When I were a lass I remember my aunt buying my sister and I a pair of knickers each for Christmas. They came to our arm pits. I was about 6 and my sister was about 8 but I can remember laughing for ages about them!

Well as a grandma I agree. A chill on the kidneys is very nasty and to be avoided at all costs :)
