Feel free to pm me suggestions ladies. I bought a size smaller in linen trousers as I shrank and vpl is obvious. Not a problem normally as I wear jeans! Lol. Having looked online I'm still no wiser, what's comfy and what's not?

McAnne,

I'm going to a forum members' meet and they're mostly blokes, so that's not an option!! Lol! I'm not that brave. It's a tricky one isn't it?

sloggis usually have one seam at the back,and very comfortable.I haven't had a problem with wearing linen trousers with them,as I did most of the time in Oz.
I have the ones that are waist high.

I haven't been in there for years, I hate clothes shopping at the best of times. I'm off this week so I'll have to force myself to peruse the underpinnings!

Cheaper option- try Tesco, plenty of choice and they sell branded too.

How's about them magic knickers that have longer leg, a bit like your grt Gran used to wear, but made of lycra choose the skin tone ones..xx

Louise

Louise Report 24 May 2008 21:18

I'll have a look in Tesco if I can manage to get out alone without the family in tow.

Louise Report 24 May 2008 21:19

I wonder if magic knickers stick to trousers as you walk, you know the way that petticoats used to.
