Still clmfy alternative to Briefs?

I've lost a lot of weight and need to jazz up my knicker drawer. I have fallen into the trap for the last 10 years since I was pregnant of wearing full briefs and DH has recently commented about this and them being like a granny - don't worry, hes out of hospital now 😆

I have bought some Brazilian knickers but they're just not as comfy for bed/relaxing in!

I have a Mum Tum so high leg isn't an option, ditto for low rise. I spotted in M&S locally they only had low rise shorts.

Is shorts my best bet for comfort without relying on a brief? Or are there some sexier briefs?

I’m not sure what happened to plain “briefs”. Low but normal leg (not shorts).

Full briefs aren't a "trap", they're just good sense. I can't bear any other type of knickers, and I've not had kids, I just like to be comfortable. Tell your husband you'll start wearing thongs when he does.

@marmaladeandpeanutbutter they're in the kids' section.

Personally I'm a fan of a comfy thong. You could maybe even tuck the tum into a high waisted version. Shorts would just dig in and lump in more places, same for any kind of brief. Weirdly my dh really likes a large brief type undercarriage cover but I don't find them as practical or comfortable.
