M&S don't seem to sell many thongs these days

and I like them
All big pants to go with their bras.

Anyone else noticed this?

Yes me... Where have they all gone?
I hate vpl and wear tailored clothes.. Even Brazilians can show.
And shorts styles are so unflattering... I like matching nice lace lingerie so won't wear the plain ones you buy in a pack of five...

Kitsharrington · 27/03/2018 20:58

Yes, it’s so annoying! They used to do 5 packs of the basic thongs, now you have to buy them individually and there’s about three to choose from in a sea of granny knickers Angry

MelonKim · 27/03/2018 21:03

Or worse. Just in the middle shape pants

But thongs show too, you do realise?

Sometimes both through your trousers and above the waistline if they’re low cut and you crouch down to pick something up from the floor or something .

LostInShoebiz · 27/03/2018 21:10

Rather have VPL than whale tail!

YouWereRight · 27/03/2018 21:12

Is people knowing you wear knickers really that had?

LostInShoebiz · 27/03/2018 21:13

People that stress about a little VPL are probably the same that like to remind you that your bra strap is showing. God forbid!

theredjellybean · 27/03/2018 21:13

You only get whale tail if your thongs are too small. Wear knickers the right size

Curly - I’ve wondered this for a long time, do people just not realise how awful thongs looks through trousers, leggings, shorts etc etc or is it that showing through is meant to be the ‘style’? I’ll take VPL any day, but maybe I’m just old.

Yes Primark and Sainsburys get my custom now for thongs since I have no desire to throw away half a five-pack to get the black ones. I haven't worn white knickers since I was a child.

My thongs don't show through my clothes! I don't wear any trousers so thin that my underwear has to attempt to guard my modesty

Polkadot1974 · 27/03/2018 21:48

Ive never got on with a thing but agree that I dislike VPL and notice it as it spoils the line of trousers
What’s the best thing for comfort on a massive arse?

Kitsharrington · 27/03/2018 21:51

Thongs don’t show through clothes. Unless they are the wrong colour, wrong size or badly cut. Those are just the ones you notice. IMO There is nothing more unflattering than a bad VPL showing through on even the most pert bum. I actually find thongs 1000% more comfy than regular undies.

OliviaStabler · 27/03/2018 21:52

Practically all their bras are padded as well. Very annoying.

MelonKim · 27/03/2018 22:21

I dgaf what you think. I like them. They look nice on my gorgeous ass.

The three pack in Primark are fab. They are a fiver.

bellsbuss · 28/03/2018 00:28

Tbh I can't believe I used to wear them, it was like cheese wire on my foo

MrsFezziwig · 28/03/2018 00:33

I cant wear any pants but thongs because they all go up my bum.

So where precisely does your thong go?

Becauseimworthit79 · 28/03/2018 00:43

Give me VPL over a wedgie any day. I wear those boy shorts style pants and they are the most comfortable for me.

toffee1000 · 28/03/2018 00:55

I don't understand why anyone would wear a thong. They look uncomfortable as fuck. I'm pretty sure I've never had a VPL. I don't look at other people's bums either.

leccybill · 28/03/2018 00:58

Ugh can't believe I used to wear thongs. Forever 'adjusting' them out of my bum.

EnidButton · 28/03/2018 01:14

Surely whale tail is if they're slightly too big rather than too small? 🤔

God, remember when whale tails were a thing? Wtf. Grin

Nakedavenger74 · 28/03/2018 01:21

These bad boys are the best thong pant ever. I buy in bulk and have them sent to NZ.

They went out of fashion ages ago, let's face it, there's very few look nice in them. Most of us look like sumo wrestlers tbh.
