thongs under white trousers...

I know they prevent any unsightly VPL but there's something a bit disturbing about a thong I think... they go up your bottom for a start. Or am I very old fashioned ?

I hate them and have never found them comfy

I don't wear white trousers but if I did I'd wear shorts-type knickers in a colour I';d checked didn;t show

it just looks as though you are not wearing any knickers from behind, I think that's what's disturbing...not that I spend my time staring at other women's bottoms- only if someone is walking in front of me...

I would rather not look at another woman's backside, to be completely honest.

But when they sashay past with their see-through white cotton trousers, my eyes are kind of drawn to their wobbly bum cheeks.

Pleeeeeease people, wear some big knickers

spicemonster · 12/05/2008 14:37

Also, you can really see bums wobble in white trousers, even if the person wearing them is very slim. Pants prevent some of the wobble

MargaretMountford · 12/05/2008 14:38

yes, you can't help but look really...

In the words of my cousin ...'I could park my bike there'.

nickytwotimes · 12/05/2008 19:45

Ugh!
It always seems to be very wobbly bummed people who wear thongs under white linen trousers round here.

noddyholder · 12/05/2008 19:45

I agree the nude ones are good marks has some which are really thin which are great

kiskideesameanoldmother · 12/05/2008 19:48

ditto nickytwotimes. white trews need lining. and if lined, then any pair of knicks will do. i hate to see anyone's arse, even if supertoned, in white trews that are unlined. dh otoh, would differ.

I wore a thong neath my lovely tight white capris on Friday. Was I wrong?

I think my bum's reasonably smallish, and my top covered half of it........sob sob sob....

I've not worn them for ages, but they were surprisingly comfy.

Beetroot · 12/05/2008 19:54

alady a ran past today was wearing a thong under white leggings

MrsThierryHenry · 12/05/2008 19:57

Yuk - have tried thongs over the years and can never get along with them. Defo big pants in skin colour (whatever your skin colour may be...)

LovelyMonster - if you like em, go for it. I think it's more of a comfort issue than a style thing (though if you listen to Gok he'll say big bloomers are all the rage).

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 12/05/2008 20:00

White leggings with thong. Had she he escaped from the Kirov ballet?

mylovelymonster · 12/05/2008 20:01

I do have nude coloured shorts-style pants which are lovely, but capris are quite tight-fitting so vpl unavoidable. Also reasonably thick material so hopefully no-one caught an eyeful of my cellulite

Gok - what does he know. He'll never actually be a girl. He is marvellous tho.

MrsThierryHenry · 12/05/2008 20:07

God, you're right about Gok, Monster. And I do question whether he really is gay - all that boob-grabbing? Come onnnnn! Isn't it just an elaborate ruse to get to fondle lots of women?!

I doubt your cheek dimples were on show if capris are made of thick fabric, and I'm sure you looked at your bum from every angle before deciding it was okay to wear them!

best: white or nude plain boy shorts
next best: white or nude thong

imo

MrsThierryHenry · 12/05/2008 20:18

Hahahaha re Gok dream! In real life though, my DH saw him out at dinner with some of his Gokettes once. Don't know why I wrote that - the story's really not that interesting!!!

Okay, let me embellish it.

In real life, though, my DH was out at a dinner when Gok came along and said 'Oh my God you are so stylish and cool. Please come on my show as my co-presenter - you'll be famous and loaded, and we shall make women beautiful together!'. DH replied 'Thanks mate, but I'm happy enough being a chippie and besides which I'd never want to snuggle up to all those lovely boobies now that I'm a married man.'

DiscoDizzy · 12/05/2008 20:19

Until a recent girls night out, I thought EVERYONE wore thongs. How wrong was I. I've worn thongs since I was about 13.
