'Bigs' or 'smalls'?

There were some knickers a few years ago that M&S did that seemed to roll down as I walked. I asked on Facebook about this and a friend on there said it was so bad with some she was wearing that she had to go into a corner of the nearest Nationwide and do an emergency step-out. I am still waiting to use this scene in a book.

phoenix I never realised you were in the forces. ?. It could only happen to you ?

Well, it was on the train from Exeter St Davids to Paddington, I was a business development manager for a mystery shopping company, and was due to attend a meeting with the client to review the data from their most recent results.

Wearing a new suit, jacket a bit shorter than usual, so wore a thong to avoid vpl.

Travelling first class, complimentary coffee, water etc. Went to the loo, trousers down, had a pee, then realised that although the trousers were round my ankles, the underwear was still in situ.

So, as I didn't feel I could perform the necessary contortions to place the (albeit miniscule) gusset under the hand drier, decided the only option was to bin the underwear and go commando!

A train related thong incident?? Sounds intriguing...care to elaborate?!

Sloggis for me - full brief in white natural and black. So comfy. I never liked small uncomfy pants. Although I did wear when I was very young....
I like them to come to my waist. I have some full M&S lacy silky briefs which I wear now and again with briefs that match, but really why?

Gabrielle, I can't unsee that now! . On the other hand, I am 64 and have been wearing "big comfy knickers" for about 4 years now. I like my entire arse encased in fabric! Sooooo comfy. Nothing worse than your bum trying to eat your knickers a eh?

Well, speaking as someone who once (admittedly quite some years ago) managed to put a thong on sideways..................

And then had another thong related incident on a train..........

But I have posted about both events before.

Full briefs, no VPL.

White Sloggi midi for me, comfortable but not enormous, no VPL, wash well.

I like slinky soft fabric knickers that come to the waist, but have a decently high cut leg. Always wore high leg bikini briefs, but found that the side seams of trousers - and jeans in particular - were making my skin itch, even if I cut out the labels. There is something harsh about the thread used, and I was left with red marks on each hip. Not a good look. Problem solved with high leg but waist high M and S knickers.

bikergran Oh yes I remember those navy blue knickers we wore for PE, though I was in an all girsl schol so boys weren't a problem. We did have one male teacher though: I wonder what he thought.
I wear full knickers all the time from Sainsbury, and like to match the colour with my corsetry during the day, or my crop tops at night.

Thongs are actually quite comfy! You just need to buy them a size up or it’s a bit eye watering. Big knickers are warmer though

Bigs for me, bigger the better! Artols thongs ? Doesn’t bear thinking about ?

BikerGran yes I remember the navy PE knickers. We wore them for netball.
Imagine girls running round outside like that nowadays . There were boys around, nearby, too.
Perhaps the big bloomers put them off!

Oh gosh! Am I the only person on here who still wears thongs?!

Bridget Jones ones for me ..
Cant stand knicker lines under clothing .
Have always gone for comfort
M and S full pants

I went from thongs to full knickers a few years ago then decided I was on the slippery slope to elasticated trousers in my early forties which wasn’t good, so went into midis from M&S. Still comfortable but not quite so much fabric involved - although I bought some recently in my usual size and they are actually smaller that the last lot I bought (I measured them, it’s not just my arse expanding ). M&S are getting a stinky email.

PernillaVanilla I've just had a look at the Bluebella website...well, they don't really class as Bigs or Smalls do they?! My word, I'm not sure I would call their knickers 'stylish' , indeed, I wouldn't be entirely sure how to put some of them on and how one would wear the ones with the rear spider's web design - a few bits of string with nothing in between - I can't begin to imagine! A little too avant garde for this old Gran, I like shorts or high legs.

good grief!! seems unimaginable these days!

anyone remember the "navy blue" knickers we had to wear for PE and a vest!

Commando?

Rufus2 I had no idea. Good luck with the op. Maybe you will get a well paid 'slot' (sorry) on The Kardashians

I have worn M&S full briefs for 40 years. Never could cope with the small sexy ones. I did i n the 70 s when. I was a size 10 wear a bra slip but after I had children I've worn a full bra too. I never found underwired bras in the least comfortable. I'm afraid it's comfortable before pretty for me always.

I like the M&S flexifit shorts. They are very comfy and look
good.

youngagain I well remember those blue silk RAF knickers although we called them ETBS (elastic top and bottoms). We only wore them for PT over our own underwear and tucked up the excess leg length or they would have shown beneath our short gym skirts.
