Are they uncomfortable? Do they go up your bottom? And/or do they cut into your belly?

I don't get out much. A new lingerie departure is a major event for me.

Boyshort pants, that should be obviously.

Sorry, are you talking boxer shorts for women here?

nippersnappers · 01/08/2008 17:53

The most comfortable things ever invented IMO

motherinferior · 01/08/2008 17:54

Yes, those big pant french knicker wossnames.

I've got some satiny French knicker type things and they do ride up my arse.

If they were cotton they might be ok. But then they wouldn't be French knickers.

motherinferior · 01/08/2008 17:56

Stretchy ones? You can get silk stretchy ones.

Rhubarbstalkingarsehole · 01/08/2008 17:57

Can you?

motherinferior · 01/08/2008 17:58

I bought a new batch recently. Very comfy, look as sexy as any knicker is going to look on me.

ONly problem I have is that if I walk up a steep hill, they slowly fally down and I have to rummage down the back of my trousers and hitch them up.

I cazn live with that.

motherinferior · 01/08/2008 18:08

I am quite tempted, I have to say.

Mine are very neat and do not flap at all at the top of the legs. Fitting but do not eat into my flesh at all.

pointydog · 01/08/2008 18:13

I got these, and some others very similar.

pointydog · 01/08/2008 18:14

and these. Leopard lace. Very slinky

motherinferior · 01/08/2008 18:18

I am somewhat yearning for the stretch silk....

now i find this shape kncker just look like great big granny pants on my arse. no sexy short shaped at all. perhaps only nice if you're small?

motherinferior · 01/08/2008 18:27

You see that is what worries me. Am a shortarse and a size 10 but not a wispy one iysiwm.

I find they are rubbish for people with fat stomachs/long bodies (speaks with bitter experience)

I love 'em

V comfy too

pointydog · 01/08/2008 19:56

I am not small. Not small at all. I have quite a stocky figure, though, and they suit me. My hips are stoutish but not those huge wide womanly ones. Maybe they don't look good on huge wide womanly hips.

motherinferior · 01/08/2008 20:54

I shall venture into shortitude, I think. What the hell. I like the idea of beneath my stalwart jeans being a secretly french knickered silk fox.

Moonshine, I hear you.

I have one pair, and they also murder my caesarean scar (two years after said caesarean was performed).

God I sound glamorous, don't I?

motherinferior · 01/08/2008 21:10

If it's any consolation, there are certain pilates poses that murder my episiotomy scar a full 7 years on

They go up me bum.

MascaraOHara · 01/08/2008 21:12
