Knickers that encompass my entire bum, stay there and don't look utterly hideous?

That's it really, I need some. Have started exercising alot as am rehabbing after a knee op and the used-to-be-manageable problem of knickers going up my bum crack has now become unbearable (when running etc). My bum's not big. It is a bit low-slung though. Please, can anyone recommend some perfect pants? Ta

Boy shorts? Full bottom coverage and no lines so can wear with tighter clothes. Hope this helps :)

Ditto boy shorts. M&S do them.

Or, for sports knickers, go to a sports/running shop. They are a little....functional in appearance, but who cares if they stay out of your crack?

I just buy Primark 'normal' pants. Think they might be called 'briefs'

'bikini Briefs'

Along the line of boy shorts - I needed some warm pants for the cold weather and am wearing boyfriends jersey boxer shorts that were a bit too small for him, but as they were cheap from primark we've never bothered taking them back and they're perfect and properly cover my generous cheeks!

Those M&S shorts look like they give good cover, will give them a try, thanks

Urgh no, those boy shorts have a nasty SEAM right where your watsits are.

Just go commando.

OnlyANinja · 02/02/2012 14:10

GetOrf washes everything every day because she is always going commando.

naturalbaby · 02/02/2012 14:20

NO!! I bought M&S boyshorts cause I have the same problem and they're so uncomfortable. The main seam is round the middle so it just pulls in and up like a thong.
My comfy excercise pants are M&S bikini's.
jersey boxers sound comfy.

starfleet · 02/02/2012 14:28

Primark boy shorts fiver for a pack of 3 - I agree with OP, the M&S ones aren't comfortable at all.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 02/02/2012 14:30

Tsk.

I don't always go commando. I have got tights on today, so have knickers on.

But yes to commando with jeans, and double yes to commando when excercising. No fucking way am I doing squat thrusts and lunges with knickers on.

docket · 02/02/2012 14:35

Yikes, I'm not sure I could exercise commando. Am sure that would cause more chaffage...

I hear you re boy pants

I just remember you wondering if people go tsk, that bloody GetOrf with her clean sheets and her skintight jeans with no knickers every time you post :o

MnS no VPL high leg

TubbyDuffs · 02/02/2012 15:05

I got some really nice ones from Sainsbury's (3 pairs for 8 quid!) and they are really flattering and no vpl, sort of short(ish) but not massive.
