You just have to hope that the wind doesn't get under your skirt to reveal what's underneath - LOL

I find the 'cycling short' knickers really comfy in the hot weather. Stops me getting a sweat rash between my thighs. Extra bonus is you get no pantie line and helps smooth out any lumps and bumps. Downside is they don't look very attractive!,

Yes ! I've rediscovered wearing dresses now I've started wearing bloomers/cycle shorts underneath! So comfy. Would really like to try some old style Granny Bloomers!

I remember thinking I would never stop wearing skimpy sexy knickers, but now I'm wearing the modern equivalent of Granny Bloomers (more like cycling shorts) under a skirt to stop the dreaded hot flushes that cause the full body sweat that in turns causes the top of my inner thighs to stick and rub as I walk - damned painful. Every time I put them on I think of Granny's old bloomers hanging on the washing line and empathise with her grin. Any of you lovely ladies in the same situation?
