What Underwear Do You Wear?

Being the age I am underwear is important for reasons other than style. That said, my everyday underwear must be pretty and utilitarian. This is why I wear one of the two brands below-depending on time of this month. ?

If you are petite, try the girls section. I’ve found my most comfortable bralette (the only kind that I find comfy and that fits properly) @target, about $8. I actually buy quite a few clothes in the girls (and boys) at Patagonia, REI and target. My items are basically the same as they would be for adults, like yoga pants, down coats, but less expensive. A girls/boys L or XL fits my boyish petite frame really well. Unfortunately at 5’6″ I’m too tall for most pants but did find girls levis at thrift a while back that I just cuff and wear as crop, $3.

Gotta chime in here and put in a plug for the Wacoal “B Fitting” Bikini panties available at Nordstrom (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wacoal-b-fitting-bikini-3-for-39/3427833?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=NUDE). They’re one-size-fits all, so comfortable, light and airy and the price is right.

I’m all about bralettes now. Screw underwires! I thought my boobs were too big but I think I do ok :).

I love aerie!! They have so many different styles and patterns. I was going nuts when I started wearing scrubs on a daily basis. I needed to find a way to express my individuality! That morphed into popsicle undies. When trying on wedding dresses, I didn’t realize that strangers would see you in your underwear. I remember my mom pointedly staring at me and then saying, “Did you bring anything that doesn’t have milkshakes on it?” Aannnnd my response was, “I have ones with ice skating polar bears…”

I’m a size 36A and got sized out of the madewell intamates (!) . Wanted to try them out too :(

Cup of Jo, we’ve done this! AERIE. I think your post a while ago is where I first learned of the BEST bras and underpants around. :)

And Negative Apparel. Just need to lose a few pounds for my own satisfaction.

Oh the stories. From the sublime to the ridiculous, in price and style and practicality. But the best yet are ODDO. Truly wonderful. It was a Kickstarter project and they have realized their dream beautifully. http://www.oddobody.com/

I love the GAP and VS for thongs and other underthings but for my 34DDDs… I’ve recently been hooked on Chantelle and Natori. Pretty and supportive.

Does anyone have any good sports bra recommendations for us well endowed ladies?

DKNY Downtown Hipster – my man flips his lid every time he sees them, and for me they are cotton and never ride up. I think it’s the curved line they make on the backside? I’m a 5’6″ hourglass at 140 pounds and buy the size large.

For other ladies with emphatic derrieres, I have found hipster and boy short styles ride up when there is a continous center seam from front up the back. If the seam breaks at the crotch, better chance they won’t ride up. So examine how they are stitched!

Thongs almost always. some bikini hipster for dresses where there’s no chance of a line showing. Gap breathes are my favorite! SO COMFORTABLE.

These are my favorites: http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/natori-bliss-bikini-3-for-45/3021575?origin=category-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=SUGAR%20PLUM

Super comfy and they lie flat :)

Ugh, I hate the word panties too. My underwear drawer needs a serious refresh, haha. I bought a bunch of thongs from Gap Body and tore the tags off, and they’re too big. -__- For a while I couldn’t stand thongs, but now they’re all I wear!

I just bought 8 pairs of Italian briefs, or french cut I think they are called. They are still in a Valentines bag in the bedroom, but I love knowing I now have 8 (!) more pairs I LOVE, instead of being grumpy when one of my three favorites is in the wash (yes, most of the time).

I haven’t worn underpants since I took a birth class with my first baby, twenty one years ago. We learned that underwear helps breed group B Strep, especially thongs. So I just stopped. Incredibly liberating and I’ve never once thought of going back. I wonder how much money I’ve saved?
I just recently stopped wearing a bra too, I don’t need one and it’s far more comfortable too, just one less thing. My daughters don’t wear them much and they encouraged me. Because I’m small it feels pretty liberated too, no more pretending or trying to enhance. It feels great.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I’m on the look out for comfy non-riding undies. Madewell collection is beautiful but don’t think the bras will do much for my A-sized girls. I only wear wireless but like lined cups for shape. The best bra I have found by far is the lounge by VS. Comes in A size now. I can wear all night on my shifts at the hospital and still comfortable when I lay my head down in the wee hours to catch a few hours of sleep. Looking forward to trying some of the undies mentioned and then go with Joannas suggestion of buy 12. Brilliant!

Since I started wearing bralettes I absolutely cannot wear normal underwire bras anymore, they’re so uncomfortable! Bralettes all the way! Surprisingly, my favourite one is from Hollister.
For bottoms, I recently discovered Aerie and their underwear is SO cute. Mainly cotton (for comfort) with a bit of lace (for sexiness) – which is exactly what I like.

Uniqlo no line underwear is truly something special!

Thanks for a timely post. All my undies are going somewhere, and Jockeys does not make that cut anymore. I am 6ft tall, and it’s sooooo hard to find undies who cover your behind properly without being too high. Any suggestions out there for tall ladies? I love boy cut, but have not found great every-day ones. Thank you.

I thought we were supposed to wear white or light colored panties :)

Pact Organic, hands down. Simple and also organic and fair trade, no dyes, pesticides, sweatshop labor.

uniqlo’s no line underwear. BEST. I buy 10 of both nude and black. I am set. They feel silky and soft best thing is NO LINES!

Classic, staple, budget friendly – all wins!

Target has Champion brand running underwear that are nice for working out in but mainly I just go commando for workouts. Much easier. But if you do try the workout underwear, I recommend briefs. Thongs are a little more likely to get out of place during some types of work outs.

Madewell clothes are “made well” for tall skinny women. But for short, curvy women like me? Not so much. That said, I love their style and definitely look at their clothing for ideas.
