I'm FOREVER putting holes in mine when I put them on.

How do I not do this?

Oh it's reappeared now. Thanks for making me look like a cunt, MN.

Fragglez · 20/05/2017 20:06

I've ripped thin lacy ones like that when ive been struggling in to them, but never cotton ones.

Usually it's when I'm hoiking them up a bit cos I've put on weight.

Are they maybe a teeny bit too small?

NicolasFlamel · 20/05/2017 20:06

Confused backing away slowly..

RJnomore1 · 20/05/2017 20:07

You put your finger through JEANS?

SocksBoatsAndQats · 20/05/2017 20:08

Can't you just buy one of those knicker aid things that you see in the back of free catalogues with the Sunday Times?

NotAUserNumberSoNotATroll · 20/05/2017 20:08

I do this too! The elastic comes away from the top of the knickers Angry and I have very short nails....I try to now hook my thumb under the bottom edge of each side of that makes sense

Fragglez · 20/05/2017 20:09

Jeans?! Actual jeans?! Not jeggings???

No pants teamed with no jeans isn't really an option....

Have you considered a suit of armour?

Falconhoof1 · 20/05/2017 20:09

Just here to say you are not alone op. Thumb goes right through the side sometimes. Need to rethink my pulling up technique! Or cut my nails.

TizzyDongue · 20/05/2017 20:09

Are they all made of paper?

HoneyDragon · 20/05/2017 20:09

No. I tried sizing up as o though maybe routundness was the issue. I shredded the bigger ones and they slipped down.

Do you aggressively knicker yourself?

Bufferingkisses · 20/05/2017 20:12

You must be gripping the material to pull up. Bunch it so you hold the whole side in your hand, slid into position then gently unbunch to get flat. Use a backwards and forwards motion to ease rather than pull...

At least that's what I think :-D

Jean's etc use the side of your hand rather than grip with your fingertips?

HoneyDragon · 20/05/2017 20:13

No.

I go

Right Foot
Left Foot
Pull
Aaaaw fuck
Or
Yay

Depending on whether I pop a finger through or not.

Strange

HoneyDragon · 20/05/2017 20:16

It occurs at the bit where you negotiate them over your derrière....o think that's the point I'm going wrong.

d270r0 · 20/05/2017 20:17

Do you wear paper knickers?
Try some nice cotton ones

diddl · 20/05/2017 20:17

"Right Foot
Left Foot"

That's obviously the problem.

It has to be left foot, right foot.Grin

BeepBeepMOVE · 20/05/2017 20:17

Not to be rude but are your legs larger than your bum? Is it a struggle to pull them up?

d270r0 · 20/05/2017 20:19

I do this with very thin tights sometimes, never knickers

HoneyDragon · 20/05/2017 20:20

No, legs definitely smaller than my bum. But then again so are some solar systems

Can you record yourself doing it? Not in a pervy way, more like Maddie from Do You Know on cbeebies doing a close up with her special camera

TizzyDongue · 20/05/2017 20:21

I note you haven't mentioned knicker removal. I know one is supposed to put on a fresh pair of briefs daily but one is supposed to remove the previous pair too. This could explain the problem, as without removal the knicker wearing area will become more examsive causing strain my the fresh pair.
