AIBU?

AIBU to be fed up of knickers that crawl up yer arse within 5 minutes?!?

Maybe it's my (40-something) age and the fact that I've got a bit fatter (was size 10-12 now 12-14), but I've had enough of flimsy pants! Walking around in public pulling your underwear out of your backside is not a good look. Weirdly, the best ones I found were cartoon Wonderwoman ones from Debenhams! They had really sturdy hems that actually stayed in place. But the last time I bought some they'd changed the fabric and now they've gone all stretchy and useless! Waaah! I don't want granny pants (or hi leg); boy shorts are my favourite style. They definitely have to be cotton though. Anyone got any recommendations? I can't be the only one with this problem can I? Hmm

Ah, but how high up do the midi pants go up one's waist? I have quite a short torso, but I can't be dealing with pants that cut across my belly.

I recommend Sainsburys high leg knickers (the multi pack ones). They don't ride up me arse or roll down at the front. I buy them in my actual size.

I like Nutmeg (Morrisons) knickers, haven't had problems with them.

Do these high tummy ones not give you a weird pant tummy line, when wearing a dress?

Go commando?!

Going commando does appeal to me but... where do you stick your knicker liners?!? Grin I used to wear Sloggi quite a lot, haven't checked them out recently. Have they improved their colour range? I'm really not keen on white, black and tan coloured pants... bright colours are more my style.

I haven't worn knickers for 20 years. Horrible stranglesome things.
Apart from wearing pads after kids were born.

I love the feeling of no knickers, especially if I am wearing a dress.

This is why I wear shorts instead. I cannot bear the dental floss effect.

That's why I go commando so much g Or wear a thong, if they are going up there might as well be a thin bit not a massive chunk!

wouldn't fancy no knicks thing...I get a few days out of a pair of jeans and wouldn't be able to like this. And wouldn't fancy the seam chafeing my delicate bits

Try Brazilians from M&S

I have the opposite problem, my knickers always end up down my arse.
