Ginevra Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Several months ago, a poster had a thread about whether or not to inform a friend of her unattractive panty lines. It was a hot topic on the general idea of women's butts, but IIRC, there were underwear suggestions in that thread that eliminate VPL. This is the recommendation I would like to revisit, as I was considering wearing a new pair of jeans out to dinner last night but rejected that idea due to rear view. What I'd like is to avoid "butt division"; I do not care if there is a trace of a line where my drawers end and flesh begins. I want to eliminate the appearance that the northern hemisphere is compressed nicely within the underwear while the southern hemisphere bursts forth unrestrained. Got that visual? Thongs are not an option and neither are long-legged shorts-style undies due to a need to keep feminine protection in place during these unpredictable times of mid-40s womanhood. No Spanx or other high-compression straightjackets. Recommendations? I want to make America beautiful again. ;) 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 These are the only underwear I will wear. I got rid of everything else (well, except a few pairs of spanx for special events). They are totally comfortable, not scratchy despite being lace, somewhat pretty because of the lace/colors, and do not pinch/rub/whatever on me. And they are cheap! And never had a panty line issue with them, probably because they aren't tight so they don't squish stuff? They do say no show, no panty line, in the description. Love them. I buy them at walmart of all places. In a pack of 6! I first bought them to have something soft and stretchy to wear after surgery, and have not stopped wearing them, just got a smaller size when I lost weight. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fruit-of-the-Loom-Ladies-6pk-Lace-Bikinis/35897634 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 LOL I have to admit I am not sure I get the visual. Then again, it's been a while since I looked at myself from behind. :P I personally won't wear anything tight enough to show the exact contours of my body. I wear relaxed fit jeans, which don't accentuate any topographical details AFAIK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I don't know Quill, but I have it on my shopping list to get myself underwear this very night. I'm getting honking big, loose underwear this time around. I'm tired of itty-bitty girl underwear. Bring on the granny panties! If I could do it without too much bunching under my pants, I'd get boxers. So sick of uncomfortable women's clothing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super stretchy, but not like tight elastic stretchy. Just conforms softly to your body. I will NOT wear tight underwear.

The ones I wear are the same manufacturer as KT's, but I like the midrise version (and I haven't tried the lace). Not the hi-cut ones, but not the "full" brief (ie, granny panties) either. If you like mid-rise jeans, these are the perfect cut & won't have a higher waist. Last time I went to look, I did have to search the stacks for them--there are so many different cuts now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2read Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 High waisted granny panties. My husband hates them but the purpose of underwear is function. I love Jockey; they have some nice gently shaping briefs that aren't constricting and they are made for no panty lines too.

Monica_in_Switzerland Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 These are the most comfortable underwear in the entire world: https://www.amazon.com/Vanity-Fair-Womens-Illumination-String/dp/B0006I8QQQ They certainly don't make lines under jeans or slacks. I don't wear leggings without a longer shirt, so haven't noticed if they make lines under thinner, tighter items. Did I mention how comfy these are? I'm small waisted and large-caboosed, and these are the only ones I'll wear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Well, I always get "French Cut" styles and make sure my pants aren't too tight or too thin (fabric-wise), and that seems to solve the problems there! :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a really practical person and probably not the one to ask, but I buy these Ellen Tracy underwear from Amazon that are terrific.

ktgrok Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Not to be too personal, but since you've shared openly here, I couldn't help but wonder if the 100% nylon content of these could have something to do with your cyst issue. No, because I tried switching to 100 percent cotton for a while and it was actually worse. These do have a cotton lining in the crotch, and the lace I think allows more air through than most underwear. I think that lets any dampness dry faster? But it was definitely worse with the 100 percent cotton ones I have. Although maybe that was fit/chafing/etc? But a good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 My best ones available in the US are from Victoria's Secret. They are advertised as no VPL and they really work. They last forever too. I have some that are ten years old and don't look it at all. VS tends to be less forgiving in their sizing than other companies, so bear that in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some that are ten years old and don't look it at all. VS tends to be less forgiving in their sizing than other companies, so bear that in mind. Have you purchased recently? They were my favorite brand too- lasted for years! I finally had to replace some and the new ones I got- same brand, same style that I have been buying for about 20yrs, started falling apart almost immediately. I seriously had some arrive with small holes right out of the package! I don't know what to do now. They are still comfortable, but I don't want to buy them if they are going to fall apart within months now. All the other brands I've tried aren't as good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the shape of the body makes a big difference in that, so what might not wedge for me could for you I guess. But at least they aren't expensive to try out.
