Please help soothe my bum and tell me what knicks are comfy and invisible under white linen trews?

My pair of nude non-VPL jobbies are heinous and a piece of torture. I have sent them to MI6 to aid the fight against terrorism.

Any ideas what is humane better?

TIA

Couldn't you just buy some more flesh coloured knickers that fit? Grin

Thumbwitch · 25/05/2012 10:27

Buy a pair of tights with cotton gusset and cut the legs off. Sorted.

I wear boxers under my white trousers. But maybe I'm just weird.

Thumbwitch · 25/05/2012 10:41

Yes, tights, really :)

BarefootShirl · 25/05/2012 10:52

I have never found anything that really works under white cotton so prefer to just go without.

ScrambledSmegs · 25/05/2012 10:55

I was told once that red is invisible under white clothes. Never had the guts to test it though.

Hetaera · 25/05/2012 11:27

Warning: big pants alert! Size up for comfort.

misscph1973 · 25/05/2012 11:37

Sloggi used to do very comfortable nude knickers, not sure if they still do. I just got some white knickers from Playtex, really comfortable, a lot like Sloggi, maybe they do nude as well?

Sposh · 25/05/2012 11:40

Red pants under white? no no no no no! Shock At best they'll be very visible, at worst it'll look like you've been caught by surprise by a period.

I don't own any flesh coloured knickers (part from one pair of spanx) because they must be singly the least sexy underwear item known to mankind. However, neither do I own any white trousers.

They definitely shrank in the wash, Pinot. A bit like my favourite skinny jeans.

i always wear pale lilac under white....i dont know why but nude or white knicks have vpl with me....

i am not a blueberry honestGrin...but lilac has always worked for me....either cheesestrings or knicks

whereismywine · 25/05/2012 12:35

Gold pants are your friend Smile

Pinot · 25/05/2012 12:56

pale lilac? well I never.

Gold pants - ha ha you're trying to trick me aintcha! :o though I would enjoy prancing around in gold knicks to a Bond theme tune

I'm going to google nude sloggi. This really is a sign I'm getting old.

I have some nude boulder holders from John Lewis that are invisible under white clothes but I cannot bear to look at the they are so hideous. I nearly died when mil took them off the washing line having so carefully hidden them amongst the other laundry. The best pair I ever had were nude Lycra short-style that were seamless. I think they were m&s but may have been Top Shop.

How on earth are your pants hurting you?!

Pinot · 25/05/2012 13:04

They travel to places no-one else has been. They are Star Trek knicks. Then I pinched my flab skin when crossly hoiking them out again. I HAVE A BRUISE.

Bastard pants.

Shock

My extensive testing of "pants to wear under white trousers" has found that nude is the only acceptable colour and a g-string is not as good as shorts/French knickers. Seamless is the only way to go.

I have never come across Star Trek pants, except once with a g-string that was too big.

Pinot · 25/05/2012 13:15

Operation Nude Knicks is a GO

Have you tried Brazilian knickers? M&S do some, much more comfortable than a g string & no Vpl.

Ambersivola · 25/05/2012 14:00

I second nude lacy Brazilians from M&S. In their words you are spoilt for choice at M&S

MrsCampbellBlack · 25/05/2012 14:02

hanky panky They are comfortable and invisible.

Pinot · 25/05/2012 14:09

£18 for a single pair? We move in different circles, MrsCB Wink Thanks though

I shall take my bottom to Marksies then. Yeegods. if I'm not seen again, send in the cavalry.
