To be frustrated with the teeny tiny crotch sizes on women's knickers?

Having insomniac musings tonight.

Does anyone else find that knickers bought from high street stores must be made for female Borrowers, the crotch part is so bloody tiny! I relented and threw away 4 pairs today that are very uncomfortable. It's impossible to get a sanitary towel on most of them, and I'm sick of scuttling to the loo the pull out my 'front wedgie'. Who are these women with teeny tiny vulvas? I wouldn't dare wear a thong, the crotch parts are only about half an inch thick! Where can I buy a nice firm and ample gusset at the grand old age of 30?

OR

does no one else at all have his problem and I just have a very large vajayjay? Confused

Please tell me that I am not anatomically incorrect and that other people also find the gussets never quite go high enough at the front to collect all, ahem, gunk?

I realise this is a design challenge but is this only my problem?

Just read a bit more of the thread and realise it's not just me Blush

John Lewis seam free thongs. Can't feel a thing. Am size 10-12 and buy a 12 and honestly, wouldn't know they are there.

Another Save Up For Sloggis fan here. They do nicer colours now and aren't all granny pants. Last for ages.

I love Tesco seamless briefs and shorts.

I never thought that I was anatomically weird, but after reading this thread, maybe I am.
Never had a problem with pants fitting down below. Perfectly wide and perfectly long enough (and I only buy M&S bikini ones)

I'm a fan of dental floss type thongs and it's true they don't cover much but I've never had a front wedgie! I like them because you cannot actually feel anything at all, unlike bikini style pants where you're always hitching wedgies out or adjusting them. Try 'boy short' style?

Another one here who is a size 8-10 in trousers but buys size 16 knickers. They don't fall down. When I buy my actual size they end up utterly tiny after a couple of washes.

M&S were much better, I never had issues with them. It's since moving abroad I've found them harder to buy.

These days, I am unable to get a pair of comfortable knickers that has a properly lined gusset to absorb vaginal discharge.

The ones in the shops are now so tiny and sewn so far back that it no longer serves the purpose.
I remember knickers use to have lined gussets sewn a lot further to the front to match the anatomy of a woman's vagina.

In desperation, I may have to sew a piece of fabric onto the gusset to give it some extra protection. I rather not use panty liner.

Is it just me who is having this problem? LOL.
