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?

Never wore thongs - so uncomfortable.
No I have rarely l worn anything other than cotton briefs. I might have worn something slightly less matronly on a date but can't really recall anybody being interested in my underwear!

I'm 45 and even though I am UK10 on bottom, I tend to buy size L knickers to be more comfortable.

I'm mid 40s. I wear big pants most of the time as I find them more comfortable. I occasionally wear a thong to avoid a VPL. I also have a few 'nice' pants and lingerie sets that I wear when I want to feel especially good/confident.
However, the main thing is to wear whatever you like, whatever you feel comfortable in, and whatever you think works for your outfit or your body.
One of my friends is a decade older than me and swears that she'll be buried in a thong as she hates big pants so much - so it's all very much down to what you prefer.

Thongs all the way for me. Or commando, lol. Can’t bear big pants, remind me of my period days, lol. Far prefer thongs and have always found them comfortable with less vpl risk (I can’t bear a vpl, if you don’t care that’s fine too).

I'm 49 and I wear Brazilian pants in summer, sort of a thong with more coverage, not a cheese cutter.

Most of the time I wear hipster shorts type pants.

Ha, me too! I'm a size 8 and always buy size 12 full briefs for comfort! I'm 63.

I’m 55 and sometimes wear thong if wearing something particularly future skimming. Usual under crackers are Brazilian knickers from M&S. I really can’t get behind (or inside) big knickers, I like sexy or pretty underwear.

I'd be picking the brazilians out of my crack all day. Not a good look.

Of course that should say FIGURE skimming 🙄

Future skimming sounded more mysterious.

Ladies, ladies......

Thanks once again for further replies! I think this might actually be my favourite thread on mumsnet! I have laughed a lot! The 2 below tickled me!! :)

I like how all these women, myself included, have been willing to share!!

I love being a woman!!!! xx

Question for thong wearers... apologies if too much information , but do you feel the bit of material chafing your anus and the delicate skin around it?
I think I'd always be wanting to tug it out!!

My period pants with sanitary towels were always a red pair (red floral synthetic Top Shop) or a black or navy blue cotton normal knicker. Hema does or did a good basic black, white multipack of normal cotton knickers.

I'm mid-30s and I've never ever been happy with any knicker that didn't cover my whole bum!

I wearcotton pants with lacy bits on the edges.
Not exactly granny pants
I hate things with a passion and would rather go commando tbh

They're very 90s.
I've never worn them. Comfy cotton all the way.

Never worn them myself
I'm 59 and have always worn cotton high legs with lace trim.. usually TU as M&S have reduced the multipack to 4 and increased the price!

Oh hell no.

If you are wearing the right size (some people are, let’s say, “economic” with their size selection) a thong will no more cut into your bum than a pair of “regular full back” knix will cut into your leg.

46 here, I wear no vpl lace shorts.

Used to wear thongs and g-strings when I was younger. I cringe looking back and remembering having them showing over the top of my low slung hipster trousers. Fashion was ghastly sometimes.😂

If l’ve got tights on, l wear the M&S Autograph Seam Free ones; no centre seam across your tummy. They come with a cotton gusset, designed by someone who seems to know what a woman looks like. I don’t wear knickers with those. They adhere to the body and stop up better that way.

I’d rather see a vpl than that tell take triangle at the back.

Me too. It usually looks like a tiny pair of knickers with a huge arse hanging out of it, often in almost transparent leggings.

I don't understand that. Full knickers sit flat over your bum. The edges also sit on an expanse of skin. The back bit of a thong sits on a crack, so it goes into it, whatever size the thong! Whether tight or loose, the material does not belong between butt cheeks!

Yep, and having followed many women wearing them with leggings it is bloody obvious they are wearing a thong, and it's not an attractive look. Unless you have a pert bum and/or thick leggings all we can see is wobbbly dimples. Can't understand how that is better than a VPL.

I like cotton midi shape but M&S stopped doing them. I've got some nice microfibre no vpl for under tight things. I'm quite skinny so not much bum coverage needed. I'm 60+ and have never worn a cheese wire thong, I don't like the idea of it up my bum all day.
