I'm a massive fan of some big comfy pants. Like I swear they actually bring me joy.

My underwear drawer is full to the brim so today I thought I should just throw everything out & just keep all of my big granny pants, and just one pair of lacies for 'special occasions'

Tell me straight, I'm turning into my nan aren't I?

Embrace the comfort.

I love a big pant!

HirplesWithHaggis · 08/04/2017 00:05

How big a pant? My gran wore bloomers, I've a photo from about 1967 where you can see them... Grin

I love my seamless shorts from Primark, I must have about 20 pairs of them.

I've got a couple of pairs of sexy pants but nothing beats my shorts.

JonSnowsWhore · 08/04/2017 00:10

Haha if they were a bit more snug then I probably would!
I'm talking almost up to the belly button big pants, like big Bridget jones ones but just cotton so they're not squeezing me in, heaven

I wouldn't even bother with the token lacies so you are doing better than me!

BlueChairs · 08/04/2017 00:13

I'm 22 and just bought 9 pairs of comfy big gap pants ... my bum deserves comfort

BreakfastAtStephanies · 08/04/2017 00:17

Sloggis. Maxi pants. In a size bigger than you normally take. You will thank me.

Autocorrect tried to turn that into Slobbish ( no, just comfy )

JonSnowsWhore · 08/04/2017 00:17

I can't see the lacies being worn any time in the near future!

Oh it's great, I go out big pant shopping if mine are getting too shabby. Now I'm pregnant I buy bigger sizes to get them even further up my belly Grin

Ooh I like the m&s ones, little bit classier than my cotton primark ones. Fancy big pants

Oh yes I love having pants up to my waist, I feel they give off a coquettish, 1950's vibe Wink Well that's what I tell myself.

JonSnowsWhore · 08/04/2017 00:25

I don't think my OH sees them that way Darla 😂

I love my apple catchers too.

I'm not spending 15/20 quid anymore on matching my knickers to my bra just for 12 quids worth to be stuck in the crack of my arse.

elephantoverthehill · 08/04/2017 00:31

Pants are like shoes. If they are not comfortable it will be shown on your face.

elephantoverthehill · 08/04/2017 00:33

Sorry, it will be shown by lines on your face.

JonSnowsWhore · 08/04/2017 00:36

That is so true, I can't stand the uncomfortableness of small pants. Bits hanging over the edge, rolling down etc. Just tuck it all in some nice massive pants & feel comfortable all day

I only wear multi-pack cotton briefs. I guess I just wore them through childhood and it's never occurred to me to buy anything else! Grin

They have got to be made from natural fibres only though, whatever the size of pantage.

shitgibbon · 08/04/2017 00:41

Life's too short to wear uncomfortable underwear.

I only own big knickers and don't plan on changing.

JonSnowsWhore · 08/04/2017 00:47

Loving that I'm not alone in this!

Sshhh..... shapewear...

elephantoverthehill · 08/04/2017 00:56

Two Elephants may be going into battle now. Surprise Elephant are you suggesting what I would call 'push me pull me' type pants?

TheElephantofSurprise · 08/04/2017 01:07

Big pants, tight pants, full of delight pants...

Ah, Hill Elephant, if you like your knickers loose and dangly that's just fine, but if not, check out Primark's excellent range of tighter than tight shapewear. Grin

elephantoverthehill · 08/04/2017 01:15

No! I need natural fibre pants. Oh I do hope Elephants have not hijacked this thread. And my pants are always full of delight. Wink
