    Try going commando........ I know, it might sound, uh, unsanitary? Or just uncomfortable? But NO panty lines and no-show at all. Once you get used to it, it's pretty nice! And feels just fine. Just like commando under bike shorts. I just don't like underwear anymore. So I rarely wear it. I DO usually wear a pantyliner. Feels cleaner than way. And at "that" time of the month (tho' I am at the the point of will it-won't it happen this month), I wear whatever it takes to contain the flow.
    Heck, I do the laundry. I keep everything clean. And I am more comfortable this way. Getting eccentric in my old age, I guess.

    I don't know about that... it would feel weird at school. Plus jeans on the bike... I'm shuddering.

    'Cause you all want to know... I do have a pair of patagonia hipsters. Thom reports that no undies can be seen, even when I sit.

    I am quite modest about what shows at work. I don't need 5th grade boys fantasizing - especially since I have to do sex ed in the spring!

    V. - off to order more Patagonia underwear and maybe a cashemere sweater.

    My UnderArmor compression shorts do just peachy with my lower rise jeans. My other favorite undies are the "No Panty Line Promise" Jockeys. I have 5 or 6 pair of those. They don't stick out of the top of my trousers, either. (and no lines)

    I wear Victoria's Secret Low Rise Bikini with my jeans. It is the cotton type that have the little "Victoria's Secret" waistband. Comfy and fairly cheap for their stuff.

    Calvin Klein and Maidenform makes low undies; I think Calvin calls them modern boyshorts, not sure what maidenform calls their low undies.

    check out www.utilikilts.com. SO comfortable on hot days and the ultimate to wear with a thong or commando. (You wouldn't think so, but get it long enough and it's all good) XDH bought 4 kilts and no longer wears pants... and yeah, lots of scots do wear 'em 'traditionally'.

    Ha! I finally got around to reading this thread. I won't weigh in on the panties v. thong issue, cuz, who cares about my undergarments but me? (and the elusive fabulous man I'll someday show them to...but I digress...)

    You've given me two new terms! A** antlers and Tramp stamp! HA! From now on, when I see one of those, I'm sure my mind will say: a** antlers. tramp stamp. Very funny. We're going to have a nation of heavily tatooed old people in about 60 years, and the 20 year old nursing assistants will be completely tat-free! "Eeew, you got a tatoo like the geezers? Gross, man!"

    Tramp stamp---kinda says it all, doesn't it? Those things are a dime a dozen--where I live, I see them mostly on overpriviledged princesses whose parents bought them BMWs for their 16th birthdays. Probably had to get drunk before they could get up the nerve to get them, too! (meow!).

    I have a tattoo of a small bike on the outside of my lower left calf. No, I wasn't drunk when I got it. It was my "mid-life crisis moment" and a salute to my glory days in the 1980s when I was a punk rock girl (multiple piercings in my ears before it became "the thing"). If old age ever makes my bike start to sag, I can easily get it lasered off because it's a simple "line" design in black ink.
