To have purchased.... (lighthearted)

Full briefs?

I'm 38. I needed some new underwear. I picked up a multi pack of black full briefs and had this warm feeling of wearing comfy pants but then a sense of dread came over me that as a 38 year old, I should not be buying big pants and that DH would probably piss himself (let's be honest, they are a bit of a passion killer I suppose!)

I compromised and got high legs in the end, but the more I think about it the more I wished that I had got the big ones!!

Yes - You are 38 not 78, buy a thong!
No - Comfy are the best, go and buy another pack of the big ones!

Bigger is better when it comes to knickers. Fact.

I go for comfort! I’ve not yet gone fully brief yet, but largeish cotton ones. Definitely nothing sexy!! I’m 35.

God I’m a year older than you and I’ve been all about the comfy pants for at least 10 years 🤣

I'm 30 and have only ever owned one pair of 'sexy' underwear.

Hasn't done me any harm in the bedroom department haha.

Im early 30s and bought some Big ones for post baby and haven't looked back- they're as amazing as you'd think

Yay! I'm not alone then!!

I will go buy them with pride!! 😂

Noooooo don’t do it!! Step away from the big pants!

I'm 25 and have been wearing granny pants (the type that go over your belly button and all around your bum) for a few years now.
you can get nice colours and lacey sides. I still think they're sexy

I've not worn a thong in years.

French knickers all the way, here.

Comfort is the most important thing. I don't own a single pair that aren't full briefs.

I’m 29 and buy packs of pants as you explain! Haven’t bought a thong in years 🤣

I’m currently expanding my collection of merino knickers....

😬

Big pants for the win.

They're amazing, I bought some when I had a c section with DD, she's almost 8 now and I'm still in them, so comfy!!

I’m 30 and I think I’ve worn a thong once or twice haha. I’m a size 12 with hips and thongs definitely aren’t for my body shape

😂😂😂

Noooo

@TokyoSushi

I think that's my issue. After 2 kids I do have a bit of flab on the belly so they offer another layer of smoothing if you like. I also like my bum cheeks to be sufficiently covered. If it's not I feel really unsecure!! 😂

I had thrush at the start of the first lockdown (tmi! Sorry) and bought the fullest briefs in the size above mine to give me some breathing room

I've bought three packs the same since!

I did same recently they are lovely!!

I’ve been wearing giant knickers since I was pregnant with my first, never looked back! I’ve got some fun lace ones for when I want to feel a bit sexy and a couple of NVP ones for under certain dresses, but otherwise it’s comfort all the way!

I'm another thirtysomething fan of big knickers. Thongs happen to other people. DH doesn't care -- when we DTD I don't tend to be wearing underwear.

35 and full briefs. I hate underwear that doesn't fully cover my butt, and it's a pretty big butt!

Another who bought them for postpartum and haven’t looked back. The bigger the better imo!

I find the "waistband" on thongs just keeps moving further and further north until it pulls against the bit of dental floss between my bum cheeks and suddenly I have the world's most annoying wedgie.
