Whatever's comfortable these days. So that removes thongs, bikini knickers, "strings", lacy bits, "boyfriend" knickers and anything synthetic. bloomers it is then

Whatever is on offer in the supermarket! But as I haven't set foot in one since lockdown some of mine are looking decidedly grey. But no one sees them anyway!

Who are you trying to look good for?
Unless someone is regularly seeing your underwear, I would go for comfort every time.
It is possible to get pretty underwear without it adhering to fashion.
Perhaps you wear revealing clothes which shows it, in that case you do need to shop around, I am told thongs have been replaced by “ string”
It would feel like flossing to me.
Good luck with your search, thank goodness my days are no longer troubled with such anxieties. M&S full cotton briefs fill my need now??

What’s wrong with a lace pattern on your buttocks? I bought some similar as they don’t give a vpl from Sainsbury they are very comfy.

Well, being short and not so slim I prefer big knickers - who is going to see them? I like to be comfortable. Sorry can't be of any help.

I am tall, relatively slim and like to follow fashion trends, avoiding the "mutton-dressed-as-lamb" syndrome. However for some time I have had a problem with fashionable knickers!
I don't wear granny pants. For some time I have preferred my leg high leg pants but they seem to have gone out of fashion and are harder to get.
The latest fashion is for little shorts which sit low on the hips - very cute. When I wear these they slide off my hips and gather into multiple creases at the top of my thighs. Another fashion is for pants with plain fronts but lace on the derriere. Very sexy and pretty but when you sit down you get a delicate lace pattern on your buttocks!
Luckily French knickers are no longer in vogue. I think wearing them with tights was not an option unless you wore the knickers on top.
The last in-fashion panty is the thong - don't even go there!!
Any ideas for looking good and being comfortable?
