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!

Is this not usual?! I've been wearing massive pants since I was 23. Even my sexy underwear is massive. Thongs are miserable male inventions.

Sloggies are so expensive though.

Kona84 · 27/01/2021 20:05

Full briefs since 2006 lol.
Maybe not that specific but quite a while.
Everyone needs some full coverage knickers in their draw. Otherwise the sexy ones won’t be special anymore

Soubriquet · 27/01/2021 20:06

I am 32 and I’ve always had big pants

Couldn’t stand thongs or boy shorts

Comfort mattered more to me

RoseDog · 27/01/2021 20:09

I'm 38 and I like full coverage and comfort, I have been with dp for over 20 years if he wants sexy underwear he can wear them himself!

They look sooooo comfy!!![/quote]
Oh they are. I have a grey pair on now!

Zelda93 · 27/01/2021 20:18

Prior to dd being born I always worn thongs .. when I had dd I wore the big pants and love them.. but dh has had a word and laughingly explained that they are serious passion killers and hates them!! So I compromise and when I know he may see my undies I wear the thong and wear big pants when I know he won't see them and since he works away a lot I mainly wear big pants 🩲 ha ha

I’m the same age and wear comfy pants. They’re sloggi shorts and lovely and comfortable. Fuck wearing uncomfortable shit. My husband wears comfy boxers.

LadyDique · 27/01/2021 20:21

I'm 34 and have work full briefs for 20 years, through the skinny times and the fat times, the pregnant times and the dating times 😁

oohmama · 27/01/2021 20:22

I was 24 when I had my first kid
Bought them for the recovery period

Literally never worn any other pants since 😂😂

Sideorderofchips · 27/01/2021 20:22

I always go for comfy

Sexnotgender · 27/01/2021 20:22

This is what I wear but in black.

OldGreyBoots · 27/01/2021 20:26

I always wear big pants, I'm 23 Grin
DP has certainly never mentioned my choice of pants! Any 'sexy' underwear I own gets changed into for an hour or two while things happen, never worn as general underwear under clothes Grin

AwkwardSquad · 27/01/2021 20:35

I think I mis-voted... big pants are the best, I’ll never go back to skimpy ones

AndcalloffChristmas · 27/01/2021 20:38

I’ve just gone across to full briefs. Can’t see myself going back!

Only bought a few pairs, and now get really disappointed when none of the granny pants are clean and I have to wear smaller ones Grin

AndcalloffChristmas · 27/01/2021 20:40

I was thinking of getting some women’s boxer short style ones too though.

fucknuckle · 27/01/2021 20:53

i wear ladies’ boxers, comfiest pants ever.

OutrageousFlavourLikeFreesias · 28/01/2021 12:49

Is your DH wearing cheese-grater things that he has to pick out of his arse forty times a day? Or is he by any chance wearing comfortable pants that give adequate and supportive coverage? Grin

YANBU to buy whatever pants you want.

Mylittlesandwich · 28/01/2021 12:59

I am a big pants fan, always have been really. Especially with my new post DS shape. You can get pretty ones too but my faves are just back cotton. I'm 28 btw.
