I've tried them all in M&S and I always have a VPL.

Bigger knickers are just too big.

Should I go for more of a girly silk French knicker thing?

Umm, don't wear things that are so tight your knickers show?
Or, if you must - go commando :)
French knickers ruckle under tight things.

garlicbutter tis not just tight clothes which show off your knickers. I am wearing a empire line jersey maxi today which is very loose and when it rests against the ass the knicker line can be seen when worn with wrong underwear.

OP: WHenever VPL is a concern I wear big no-VPL knickers. The look like the kind your granny might have worn here They sit nicely under the bum cheeks and don't ride up and the waistband sits on the natural waist. Sounds vile, I know, but I con myself I am rocking a 50's vibe Wink

Ah, good point about the jersey. M&S do some stretchy 'tummy control' pants that have those tiny little legs, you know? They don't control your tummy a whole lot, but are very smooth & anti-static.
So, what you said, tulpe.

These are nice. They have no hem at the waist or legs, so they just sit lightly on your skin. There is a seam up the middle of the back, but I don't imagine that's a problem.

It's a shame they only seem to have black in stock now - not very summery. A while ago they had white and flesh-coloured too.

Tulpe - those knickers are truely heinous Sad, but look like they might do the job!! Grin

garlic - I'm finding that despite being a size 10, I have a 40 year old 'long' bum and it's knickers like these that ride up - they're too short at the bottom. Them's young gals pants, they are Wink
