I bought new knickers yesterday...

[KentMum2008]

Really comfy ones. You know the kind, big, soft and stretchy, unflattering as hell. DP thinks they're hilarious. I quote 'you're wearing acres of knicker'.
AIBU to think men don't realise how lucky they are that ALL men's pants are comfy, save the odd novelty thong?! Don't get me wrong, I like a French knicker and I'm partial to the odd tiny pair of lace pants, but nothing beats the comfort of really big, stretchy pants.

Disclaimer: This is lighthearted. Really.

Another humungous knicker fan here. I was bought some by my husband post caesarean and have unashamedly never looked back. I returned the favour by getting him so y-front briefs post vasectomy. We often lie on the bed laughing at how unsexy we are.

If I wear thongs I wear a size larger. Ewa michalak knickers are the comfiest ever but these are pretty good https://www.victoriassecret.com/panties/the-panty-guide/high-leg-brief-panty-cotton-lingerie?ProductID=313560&CatalogueType=OLS&search=true

I'm another one that's never got VPL I'd much rather someone may see odd line of your pants than to be thinking I'm not wearing any! No bloke panics that when he bends over in his jeans he's showing off top of his pants, nor shamed into some ridiculous scoop cut to hid this hideous view!

Haven't worn bum floss thongs in years since I discovered the joys of big pants aka 'boy shorts'. A tip given to me by a dancer friend (when I did use to wear them) was to buy thongs a size up and I have to admit that way they're not quite as abrasive to the arsecrack. These days I don't have a problem with VPL since my shorts come part way down the thigh, never had a ride up or wedgie problem with them either.

M&S midi's for me.
The proper big knickers just don't sit right for me, high leg briefs have a tendency to get eaten by my arse as do boy shorts or knickers without firm elastic around the leg. Thongs are hateful things and I find the 5 pack of midi's is a good compromise.
Excellent arse coverage, not going to go travelling, keeps my abdomen from getting too warm.

I switched to big knickers when I was pregnant. I was a size 8 and my mum bought me size 22 knickers. I was horrified and swore I wouldn't wear them . I did try them on in secret though and almost writhed on my bed in comfy ecstasy , although my legs dangled out of the leg holes like a couple of bits of string. They were these ones!

Never understood thongs, they are so ugly, both on men and women. At best they are reminiscent of Jane Fonda gym wear, at worst tiger-print 80s porn.

Always wondered what happens to a woman in a thong, when she has to poop. Silly way of putting it, but I am actually serious. How do women poop and still wear a clean thong?

I neither like big knickers nor things. The ultimate in comfy knicker is the mini pant - covers the arse but cut to sit under the overhang stomach.

M&S are masters of this type of pant although I do wish they would lose the tiny bows.

I'm not wearing anything that sits on my arsehole. Nope.

Remember that 'social experiment' from about a decade ago when clubbers underwear was tested for cleanliness and people were shocked when there was more fecal matter on the women's? I'd bet it was simply because the men wore comfortable sensible underwear while most of the women were in bumhole skimming knickers...

How do women poop and still wear a clean thong?

Because I wipe until I'm clean? Who the fuck doesn't?!

yeah so do I but with a thing, it goes right up there and well, if you have missed even a tiny bit, your thong will have the evidence.

I gave up on thongs long before I turned 30, and am now very much a big knicker woman. When I had my ds I bought a load of massive knickers for after the birth, and 3 years later never worn anything else!

I have honestly never had that problem.

Thongs don't suit all

I remember reading years ago that wearing big knickers was like giving your bum a hug.

To all the thong wearers feeling smug about VPL - you do realise that thongs still give you VPL, just in a different place, don't you? They're not invisible!

And the number of times I've seen someone's thong riding up over the waist of their jeans when they bend over...

Give me comfy pants any day - ironically, much more discreet than thongs AND comfy. What's not to love?

To the poster gloating about being a size 8.
I'm a size 8-10. They don't look that good! I'm also a big pant wearer now. I like m & s highleg. They are not frumpy and I don't get a vpl.

I've never worn thongs. They looked hideous when I was a size 8 and they look hideous now I'm a size 14. Big pants all the way. And I'm in my twenties!

And I agree thongs must stink.

How do we know "all men's pants are comfy"? You'd expect them to struggle for comfort as they have more stuff to contain.

I'm all about comfy pants. Go big or go home is my knicker mantra. And if i get the occasional vpl it doesn't bother me - at least people know I'm wearing some!

I once borrowed a pair of dh's pants when I had managed to run out of clean ones.
I wear what I think are comfortable knicks anyway, but his were even more so.

As for thongs, and any other pants that work their way into your cleft, well, each to their own, if you're masochistically inclined.
Incidentally a dd, when a lot younger, was once trying to explain to her German exchange counterpart that she was wriggling and uncomfortable because her pants were up her crack.

The girl's eyes widened as she suddenly got it. 'Aah! Meine Unterhose klampft im Arsch!'

I don't think you'll find find that in any phrase book, but it might just come in useful for somebody...
(There should be an umlaut in klampft but I can't do it on the iPad)

Thongs are bad for your health. The reason a lot of women suffer with issues down there.

The string between your arse cheeks carries deposits (yuk) from your anus to your vagina = bad news.

Since I learned that it's been big knickers all the way and no issues down there at all.

Also agreee with pp - who cares if someone can see I'm wearing knickers
