Low Rise Jeans Question

[chickwhorips]

i like vikki's low rise underwear, they also have ultra lowrise underwear too.

i've found more and more underwear companies are making low rise underwear and usually lable it as so on their package.

i'm also with shellyj on the t-string. love them! i love wearing the really little underwear. my favorites are the wicked weasel knickers. (and if you look back in their contributer's archive page for 2004-finial i'm on there. my two second claim to fame on a bikini contest)

A friendlier alternative to a pantyliner is a carefully folded up little wad of toilet paper, which can be easily flushed and discarded whenever you visit the toilet. Plus, you can have a new fresh liner every few hours if you like, just make a new one every time you go. I got the idea when this product went off the market.

Or, an even better no-waste solution is to just wear your menstrual cup 24x7, menstruating or not. I do this when I'm travelling and trekking and it significantly reduces panty goopage.

Well, to each their own. I've used wads of toilet paper for insurance when I was nervously expecting my period and had no pads on hand, but they stuck to me and then left tissue bits all over me and I didn't like that much. Most toilet tissue shreds too much, and I wouldn't want to have to carry my own supply of wads with me everywhere. Wouldn't like having to peel sticky tissue pieces off every time I pee- I pee OFTEN. As to menstrual cups...I used a diaphram for contraception for MANY years and am fairly content now to not have to stick rubbery cups up there anymore. I'm sincerely glad you have found methods that suit you, though!
I like my one-a-day pantiliners. I ride bike almost every day and for me they double as both panty savers and riding chamois- duo purpose.

CWR - you go wit' yo badddd self!!

On another note, I for one am a firm believer of thongs (god now that song is in my head), but DAMN those skimpy things on your web link make me think commando might be more comfortable!!!

I'm definitely a fan of the thong...for all pants and skirts. I don't 'do' panty lines just like I don't 'do' visible bra straps.


Gap Body also makes low rise bikinis and thongs. The pairs I own have lasted way longer than my VS stuff (bras, too) and all my undergarments go in the washer and dryer.

Thanks for the heads up. I always had a problem with VS as I am not one to hang my undies on the shower bar, and their stuff always gave out way before some of the other less nicer items.

Love the Gap already, this just gives me more reasons to go Shopping!!

... and here I thought growing up in WI prepared us for things like finding snowmobile suites sexy, etc.

Geex./. They're so... small... and...

*rubs steam off monitor*
I'll wear thongs if I'm wearing something sheer or esp. body-hugging, but I'm more a briefs or commando person.

boy briefs are cute, too... and boxers...
but biking commando in jeans? Uhm. uh... no.

I just say no to thongs. Geez louise, talk about uncomfortable.

I floss daily, but only between my teeth thank you very much

As for panty lines, I could care less, comfort is my concern not what my coworkers think about my underwear.

Same here! I found thongs to be the most uncomfortable thing I'd ever worn! I don't see the need to give myself an all day wedgie, either!

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

FYI - for those of you who think thongs are butt floss..... g-strings are butt floss. Thongs are wider in the "string" department. Thongs with skirts or dresses are a bit uncomfortable if they crawl. I will admit that. But thongs with pants or shorts cannot be beat. Yeh you need a couple days to get used to them but I guarentee if you give yourself a week, you won't go back to regular undies.

[Cassandra_Cain]

FYI - for those of you who think that thongs are comfortable. Fact is, some of us do not. Nor do some of us want to wear underwear or any garment for a week in hopes that it becomes comfortable or bearable.

Guarantee is a really strong word, especially when predicting what another person will or will not find comfortable. I know what I find comfortable and what my priorities are - yours may well differently. I am completely oblivious to what bob in accounting or the neighbors think of how my underwear look in jeans, shorts of whatever.

So whether it is thin, wide, narrow, whether you call it thongs, g-strings, t-strings, or dental floss, some women want no part of it.

I think a distinction needs to be made here between finding thongs uncomfortable and writing them off self-righteously as either promiscuous or merely for fashion's sake.

Regular panties, for me, are hell. One side always, -always- wedgies in. For them to be wide enough, I get diaper butt. For them to be low enough, they might as well be compressed into a thong. So no thanks; I'd rather leave my diaper-wearing days behind.

Were any panty-wearers mildly offended by that last line? That's how us thongers feel when you compare our picture of comfort to dental floss. To each her own.

...I liken thongs more to slingshots. Sounds cooler. And if you ever get in a bind, well.. you're armed. What else is great about them? They hardly take up any space in the washing machine, and they hang-dry in mere hours, so you can go through as many pairs as you like without wasting resources.

Oh, and about the 'women's sanitary products don't take up much space in landfills compared to other packaging' argument--yeah, you'd rationalize it that way, wouldn't you? But after cleaning washrooms for a few seasons, I have to disagree. Most of our garbage ends up being sanitary products and packaging. Truckfulls daily, for just 1500 campsites. that's less than 10 000 people, so less than 5 000 women--and many of them aren't of fertile ages. Emptying those bins is absolutely revolting and completely unsanitary. I never could have conceived of this before working there--I go through maybe 8 tampons a month, and I don't buy the kind with applicators. Even then I was thinking, "I need to cut back and get a cup or something." The same volume could be doubled by just one maxi-pad.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
