All the recent or recovered posts on underwear (along with the not to distant blog post about boring basics) has brought up the unpleasant reality I have been trying to ignore. That and catching myself with bad VPL in public! (cringe)
I haven't bought underwear in a couple of years, and some of mine are much older than that. Other than the fact they are ratty, one of the brands I was wearing is no longer made (and hasn't for a while, I missed the boat on picking up any) and the other isn't made in a size larger than the one I am wearing and I feel like I could use it (it is a designer brand and they run small).
So, I am on the hunt for some new ones. I read the other thread, but nothing sounded like what I was looking for.
I want cotton, or modal-- some of the sweat glands on my body don't work elsewhere, so the undies area is one of the first places that displaced sweating goes so anything synthetic, including microfiber is miserable. The one exception are specialty wicking sports fabric, but those tend to be 13-30 dollars a pair!
I need a fairly low rise in the front, but lots and lots of bun coverage. I have a very ample rear and anything that sits on but not completely over the cheek creeps, cuts and leaves VPL. I often have the problem of needing a smaller waist size on the undies than the size I would need to cover my bum. Even full-coverage styles of boyshorts, ect. tend to become "cheeky" on me either through riding up and bunching or just not having enough fabric to cover my booty in the first place. Anything with a vertical seam up the crotch is just uncomfortable.
I tend to get horrible VPL, even with something like the "No Panty Line Promise" undies. I mean I get VPL through jeans! It think it has to do with how undie edges sit on top of and not over my cheeks.
I am not particular about the style (well, not grannies and not thongs).
Any recs ladies? Also, what undies do you wear when working out?
