why do knicker makers make their knickers with seams going thru the middle of the crotch area??

It is so damn fucking painful when it rubs against your clitoras (and I can;t even spell the damn word[bush]), all day long!!

feels like I am being cut in half......let me tell you, it is a sensitive area that likes the touch of someone loving, NOT a seam from something out of a torture chamber.

you need some extra fatty flaps to stop this!

CarGirl · 13/06/2009 17:07

I get Hennes short style knicker for exactly this reason, they are so comfortable - they are from the childrens dept though probably fit up to a size 12 possibly.

differentID · 13/06/2009 17:08

you need to start wearing Granny pants. they are so comfy!

psychomum5 · 13/06/2009 17:13

@ extra fatty flaps.

cargirl, I do get those when able, but they don;t tumble well

granny pants, me......no way!!

Where do you buy your pants? I've never felt that!

CarGirl · 13/06/2009 17:18

stop tumble drying them then you slattern!

Shame they don't do 5 packs in black of them.

psychomum5 · 13/06/2009 17:19

erm....

new look, tesco, sainsburys....they are the worst for it

they are in fact worse than thongs, and I stopped wearing them for that reason too!!

I wear semi-grsanny pants from marks and sparks. Nowhere else does non crotch-seamed knickers for bigger bummed ladies

psychomum5 · 13/06/2009 17:24

cargirl, you come do my laundry with the 7 lots of pants/knickers and many many many many many (to infinitum) socks.......then tell me that!!

diff, semi I could do

CarGirl · 13/06/2009 17:34

Well I manage with 6 of us.......I have learnt the knack with socks, each child has 10 identical pairs (school socks this is) but they all have completely diff styles. It's really helped a lot!

As we all have the same Hennes pants (well 4 of us) the middle 2 have the names in theirs with the iron lables otherwise DH would have no hope

BitOfFun · 13/06/2009 17:36

Ive got a lovely matching set- the bra is amazingly comfy, but the pants manage the twin arse-eat clit-rub thing and I just can't wear them...

PenelopePitstops · 13/06/2009 17:44

marks and sparks girl boxies are needed

Tortington · 13/06/2009 17:46

i have some lacy half short things.

psychomum5 · 13/06/2009 17:51

@ cargirls managing skills.

do you however have a 15yr old who seems to think changing her undies 3 (yes, THREE) times a day.....makes it like having 10 in the house

M&S girl boxies sound like the plan me thinks. I have given up on matching underwear now anyway seeing as to get matching pants for my lovely bra's would break my bank!

OP posts:
psychomum5 · 13/06/2009 17:52

lacy sound pretty

OP posts:
CarGirl · 13/06/2009 17:56

No only the 5 year old and 3 year old regularly fancy a change of pants most days and in fact the 5 year old can get through several changes of cloths per day unless occupied with something else.

Do you have a 12 year old girl who gets loads of grass stains on the knees of her white joggers (after you told her she was banned from buying white trousers/jumpers/hoodies). Silly me keeps getting them clean though

I should have had some boys - surely they have to be easier on the clothes front?

psychomum5 · 13/06/2009 18:18

well.....DS1 stays in the same clothes for days on end until I remember and creep in at night and steall them away to wash them

DS2 has a scissor obsession and restyled all his clothes last week

DD2 has the 'lets stain any white top with chocolate disease' however

CarGirl · 13/06/2009 18:21

I quite like pure white, I find bleach very helpful.

Worst thing is black marker pen at school, even some of the ink stain removers don't work on it

TripleTroubleMuffin · 13/06/2009 18:23

Psycho - that is hilarious.

Look at your freudian slip in the OP.

My pet hate is knickers that don't have the gusset quite wide enough for a liner.

psychomum5 · 13/06/2009 18:41

oh god, just noticed

cargirl, bleach does not seem to do chocolate I have found.

or sunspray stains either....I mean, what is it with sunspray, why doe it stain everything white a chitty yellow colour??

OP posts:
CarGirl · 13/06/2009 18:48

Not sure but it came out of my pillowcases today, I use bio powder and it has been sunny. Never came out of my synthetic top one time though, had to bin it

wotulookinat · 13/06/2009 19:04

I can honestly say that I have never experienced this - must be because you lot are thin!

psychomum5 · 13/06/2009 19:08

be thankful, it is painful!!
