New pants (for large bum and tum)

50 replies

Panicatthegarden · 04/04/2024 14:24

I am sorely tempted to throw out all the underwear I own and start again

I prefer a high waist that will smooth my post baby mum pooch and nothing that's going to cut my ample bottom into 4 pieces 🙈😂

I would like them to be

  • not hideous
  • no vpl
  • available in black or skin coloured

Does anyone have any recommendations?

M&S do a rang of no VPL knickers in all styles and colours. That’s all I wear now.

dreamygirl25 · 04/04/2024 14:38

Do they need to be cotton or can they be microfiber?

M&S Flexifit Modal Full Brief sounds like it would suit. I swear by them and look for similar in underwear as you.

Wirarpa from Amazon, comfiest undies ive ever worn.

I love snag pants. They have a range of styles and colours.

Byrdie · 06/04/2024 19:58

Stop searching! I was the same - chucked out all the M&S ones and replaced with these. Amazing and will do all you want (hides a small belly, fits a bum properly etc!)

I second these. Not sure if they don’t look hideous but I am past caring

Snag knickers

Mrschickenn · 06/04/2024 21:07

I find boxer shorts very comfy (I typed girl boxers in amazon search)

RosinRug · 06/04/2024 21:11

Dotthise Amazon ones not give a VPL?

Mrsmozza123 · 06/04/2024 21:21

@Panicatthegarden m&s high waisted Brazilian are perfect

Mummytotheboy · 06/04/2024 21:23

Snag, but in leggings I definitely have a vpl but I wear oversized tees so you don't see it

idontlikealdi · 06/04/2024 21:26

Tu have very good pants, much better than m and s these days

MyAmusedLemonMaker · 06/04/2024 21:52

Stripe and Stare. The Best Ever.

Leicestershiremum · 06/04/2024 21:58

I tried the m and s ones and they do not last, they go in holes near the elastic. My fave lately are from primark, high waist, no vpl, in a slinky fabric. come in a 3 pack for £7 (on hangers in store) come in black, neutral, plus other colours. Flattering, comfortable and properly non vpl

Divasaurus · 06/04/2024 22:06

Not sexy but very comfortable and practical - Sloggi knickers.

PrincessofWells · 06/04/2024 22:46

Primark have black shorts style pants, a bit like cycle shorts but a lot shorter. They're very comfortable, seamless, highish waist. Pack of 3 in black.

Bearpawk · 06/04/2024 23:26

M&S full briefs, the multipack ones

Mmm, really comfy. Definite vpl though, but I'd forgive that for the comfort!

doubleshotcappuccino · 07/04/2024 04:30

I've been all round the houses and not found anything like the full M&S brief - it's holding it all in !!!

Definitely these ^^
Probably the most comfortable pants I have ever worn in all my life!

Nudgethatjudge · 07/04/2024 09:00

Boody.
So comfy.
Not cheap but last ages (my oldest pair is about 4yrs old and looking good).
