what on god's earth are 'boy shorts'

[Cappucino]

I am sick of reading in magazines about 'boy shorts'. I keep thinking about the baggy type of thing that boys wear, you know, as shorts, to do sports in, but no-one can be suggesting that I wear them under a floaty dress

help me

I am too young to lose touch completely

arent they pants

they are in my house

pants that have legs, so look like shorts!

they are knickers with a low leg - bit like pe knickers.

they seem to be a new kind of pant. they've just appeared from nowhere.

I don't know what to think

boy shorts are great - big knickers that are still sexy!

It's a completely stupid name which seems to have caught on - have you ever seen a boy in anything like those?

I really like them. Flattering and comfortable.

oh I see! they've got legs! thank you!

don't seem to have much coverage for wobbly tum, though...

yes deffo sexier than g strings

god sSTOp me have used the word sex twice before 11 am

no I disagree. I love my thongs. They don't look like my mother's girdle but they come up and cover the bit on my stomach were dd1 decided to stick her bleeding legs and stretch me out of all proportion because she couldn't be arsed turning head down

yep rear view not nice tho

speak for yourself

[evil emoticon]

my boy shorts come up fairly high, def well over my csection scar.

I have wobbly tum and they are actually rather nice - sits across the front very comfortably.

dd1 has them and looks fantastic in them

the ones in Lou's link are NOT flattering unless you can carry off the Twiggy/Kate Moss androgenous but cute thing. If you are blessed with short legs and a tummy, stick to high legs for goodness sake.

and bottom much prettier too.

I like the lookk of them but find they do tend to go up my crack a bit
(TMI)

some do more than others.

hatlady - we were made from the same mould?

ah mot he best oens are the ones in marks wiht two small buttons ont he frontOR hte coolspotty ones wiht a birght pink turn over waitband - my teenager baby sitter saw me folding them asn was VERY impressed

the M+S Ceriso ones in cotton are fab.
