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.

I'm intrigued, how can you miss bits when you wipe your arse? I thought it was only slapdash men who acquired poo crumbs, now I'm hearing that slender ladies in thongs might have them. Surely not.

I bought some genuinely comfy woman's boxers from Debenhams the other day. Never shopped in there before - actually going to buy more.

They are actually soft and the cotton keeps me cool.

Sod these NVPL pants that make your fanjo feel like a furnace!

I am a fan of sanitary towels too navy, I have never used tampons.

I love big knickers/belly warmers. I love the feeling of being all tucked in, comfy and warm (Yes, I know I'm a weirdo .

I buy new knickers just for use as period pants, my DH calls them "Pudding Boilers"

I've just put on a lovely pair of M and S size 14/16 full briefs. Bliss.
Disclaimer: I'm 52 and 20 years ago wore lacy shorty things but those days are loooong gone.

Comfy thongs here too. These from Asda - cheap, cheerful and mega comfy.
Only time I've ever worn big knickers is post c sections!

God those would disappear into my mum tum christmas

I'm 21 and I LOVE bug knickers!!

I used to be a lean size 6/8 and I wouldn't wear anything but small knickers/frenchies/thongs.

Now, I'm a size 12/14 and find normal knickers too low on the hips/tummy, my bum swallows them up and I ways end up with a wedgie... They make me feel huge!

Big* ... I don't ever want bug knickers

I'm 8 months pregnant and have used it to my advantage to buy the world's biggest knickers, I said I have to accommodate bump. So comfy and soft. My husband would have me in a leather thong everyday if it was up to him. Not that I agree all thay often. But having an excuse is very nice. I do try to please us both with lacy boxers on a normal day. I think post baby I will stay in my massive knickers as long as possible :p

I have 'big pants' but they are more frou-frou/frilly/decorative than comfy. Otherwise, it's mostly Brazilian/bikini cut for me (I possess a couple of thongs). I don't have many that have elastic around the arse though; I seem to prefer ones that are finished in lace etc and therefore flatter. As said way upthread, I don't really care about VPL though, on my own arse or on others'.

Another vote for granny pants here. I am also searching for comfortable cotton rich cycle short type pants for summer under dresses to stop chub rub.

I quite like bikini, brazilian or shorts cut, pants don't have to be big for me.

I just bought some huge knickers for after I give birth. They'd probably fit dp. They look so comfy but I'm saving them (because they obviously can't be used and washed what is wrong with me haha). I cannot do thongs. I just think it's a UTI waiting to happen. And dp hates them (not that it'd stop me wearing them if I wanted to). Give me a French knicker over a thong any day

I'm with you op i love a big knicker! My favourite being Sloggi. I have numerous black pairs (although I couldn't wear them to bed!)
How in the name of Jeff can anyone wear this??? How do you sit down with those pearls up yer foof?!!

And I would have no use for these. I have my own substantial implants already

Thongs are the inventor of the devil. just stick a piece of string between yr legs !!

To the poster gloating about being a size 8.
I'm a size 8-10. They don't look that good!

I wasn't gloating; there's nothing wrong with a woman being proud of her body. I know my arse looks good in a thong, but I suppose it won't suit everyone's body.

I've worn cotton thongs (same style as those in Bird's link) for decades, since I finally got fed up with "slippage" from normal pants. No idea why, but all normal pants I've tried migrate to my arse crack anyway, which drives me mad. Perceived sexiness doesn't factor into my choice because I don't think they're any better or worse than big pants, it's pure comfort. Just like when we first start wearing bras, they feel odd, but after a short while I found I was no longer aware of their presence IYKWIM. So comfy.

If you wear thongs don't you find that any leaks (whatever orifice they come out of) go straight on your clothes?
I've pretty much avoided leakage LOL. I don't leak urine or poo, and when I'm on my period I find my mooncup works well. I don't get vaginal discharge either (all dried up down there!) Anyway, the thongs I wear have a gusset just like bigger knickers.

The problem is not so much that the thong sits between the cheeks but that it is constantly rubbing on my bum hole (really should have name changed for this!). How do you thong lovers avoid this?
My thongs have never rubbed me.

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 wash my arse with soap and water after a shit. I assume those saying thongs must stink just wipe and don't bother to wash their arses.

I love big pants! Big comfy cotton knickers that don't dig in and go up to under my boobs. In the early days I used to try and hide them from DP (they used to be 'work pants' but have crept more and more into everyday use) now he just accepts them and laughs.
I do occasionally go for a nice lace knicker. I used to wear thongs at about age 16 when it was cool to have them on show . Now this arse would eat a thong alive.

I am inspired to go out and buy some big pants today to try them!

"I wash my arse with soap and water after a shit. I assume those saying thongs must stink just wipe and don't bother to wash their arses."

Not everyone has access to soap and water at the time - for instance at work.

Personally I wipe my arse just as well as if I were wearing knickers ! So no I don't get poo crumbs

I am a connoisseur of polo neck knickers.

My medic housemate at uni used to call thongs 'shitty strings' based on what she'd seen on clinical placements.

People should wear what they like but imo midi or briefs are much more flattering to most women over 35, regardless of dress size.
