A question or 2 about "Knickers" to the mature women amongst us!!

[lovenotwar149]

1. Do women in their mid fifties still wear thongs??
2. For those of us who dont anymore, do you still wear knickers that still look a bit sexy so to speak? Or has that gone out the window now?

@JaneFondue Have you tried Damart yet?

No, I don’t wear thongs - but I’ve never liked them anyway. They are not flattering on 99% of women. 🤷‍♀️

Comfortable and pretty ones for me now. 🙂

I have never worn one. Always HATED riding a bike too. I think I have a very sensitive vulva and backside!

I don't mean they shrank in the wash. M and S now mostly come with tiny gussets. Cost cutting.

Viscose not my thing.

Sorry to digress. The issue about bikes is that saddles are designed by men and made for men. Women are often not even an afterthought.

My friend is 65 and only wears thongs. To me they look uncomfortable and the opposite of sexy. Black M&S shorts here and commando when I don't want a vpl.

I never wore thongs. Awful uncomfortable things. Plus I think they look silly, not sexy. I was never into sexy underwear tbh. These days (early 50s) I wear biggish pants. I'm more interested in comfort and how my clothes look over them than in what they look like in the 3 seconds when I'm putting them on or taking them off!

I wear Chantelle. Seam free and one size (sounds unbelievable but they work!). Black or neutral. Sooo comfy!

There’s a lot of “l’ve never had it because l don’t like it” food type attitude here! I’ve never worn but so uncomfortable???? 🤔

Tried them once aged 18, couldn't for the life in my understand who would find them comfortable or a good look.

I meant I have never been in the habit of wearing them. I tried twice with different thongs and threw them away because I didn't like how they looked and they were uncomfortable.

55 and still wear thongs a lot. I do a lot of sport and generally like to avoid vpl. My favourites are the adidas ones with a high front which are great under gym leggings, or John Lewis ones. But I pretty much always wear nice pants

I'm not sure when I last wore a thong, since 'seamless' knickers have come on the market I haven't needed to. I'm 50 but my teenage daughter doesn't wear thongs either.

Are any men out there stressing over their choice of underwear and how it 'looks' to their wives/partners??!

big pants. It's a comfort thing and helps keep my belly flat in trousers. I sometimes wore thongs when younger and they were hell

Often, l look at men and think they should!

I’m not in my mid fifties yet, but I haven’t worn a thong since my early twenties, and I wish I hadn’t then.
DH buys me lacy, pretty knickers but I don’t wear them (unless they are about to be immediately ripped off). For me, it’s comfy pants all the way.

Men definitely do think about good pants, as an aside!

Never tried them because they look so ugly.

I've never worn thongs; I find them so uncomfortable. I also don't really see the point of wearing knickers with no back to them. The only time I'd wear thongs is if I'm having a sex session, but it wouldn't occur to me to wear them as an everyday item. If VPL is the issue, I'd rather wear shapewear than have my cellulite show through material because my bum is bare.

What does it matter what other women are wearing? Literally no one sees them, they're UNDERWEAR

That’s exactly my thoughts.
tbh cotton underwear can look very nice depending otherwise silk is the answer.

I’m just in my 50s and it’s still thongs for me and sometimes not even those. I have a (possibly irrational) VPL phobia so I can’t see it changing any time soon.

I get those 5-pair cotton multipacks from M&S in different colours and patterns, either bikini style or high-leg. Works for me.

Mid 50's, haven't worn a thong since early 40's & even then only for evenings when I knew they wouldn't be on long!

They can look nice on slim youngsters with very firm buns. But mostly look ghastly on most normal bodies. I'd rather see a pl than a wobbly cellulite arse.

if I wore one now it may require excavating!!

I found a very comfortable line at Matalan of all places, which I wore for years, but annoyingly they've changed the cut of the leg and they're not so comfortable, but still the best I can find.🤷🏻‍♀️

the only person that really sees them prefers lingerie on the floor regardless of its design/colour, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I may be in my 40s but l’m regularly seen in mine 😉.
