Sloggis, best, the shorts type ride up and cause a ridge on me at least.

M& S have some nice silk ones as well, like Sloggis.

Magic knickers cause bulges elsewhere.

Bob,

Linen is quite a thin unforgiving fabric and the lines of vpl are not pretty, better to have smooth curves rather than bumpy ones!! Lol!

sorry ladies but you DID ask (where were the Gents)

but what is wrong with a VPL? unless its daft like black showing thru white lace or summat?

It's that wedgie feeling that I hate when wearing a thong. To my way of thinking the love handles have got to go somewhere if you wear magic knickers, near your armpits maybe. Lol! I remember my mum wearing a girdle in the 1960's and struggling to remove it because it'd adhered itself so well.

They are Florence and Fred black linen trousers and they feel lovely on but harvest festival knickers just aren't right.

Definition of Thong = an intentional wedgie

You got to be wise and buy the right size magic knickers, if you still want to breathe that is..lol

Trouble with magic knickers- you cant breathe after a while- they suck everything in and bit of a tidal flesh wave when you get out of them!!!!!! ................ Or so Ive heard !

It depends on the colour of the trousers - if they are white or beige, I would go for a thong. Nude coloured thong is best, as white shows through. I find thongs quite comfy, as long as they're not the really skimpy bit of string ones!

Blu if you hate shopping they sell them on QVC I think..

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

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.

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

LancsLass Report 24 May 2008 21:15

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

Louise

Louise Report 24 May 2008 21:13

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!

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.
