I switched to the Jockey Elance cotton bikinis. I'll only wear cotton, and these fit well and are comfy. Downside is they come packaged with some strange perfume scent so you have to soak/wash them quite a bit before wear. Otherwise they hold up well. I buy mine from stores, or online -better selection online.



Just on a side note, the open crotch insert is more hygienic than the stitched one.


How is it more hygienic?
I hate it unsewn.

Jockey string bikinis. Despite the "string" they have good coverage and are really comfortable. And they have been making the same styles for as long as I can remember.

I recently started buying the Gap cotton low rise bikinis and they are wonderful. Comparable to the style of VS cotton, but much better quality and much more comfortable. A little pricier though.


I could'be written this too! Their low rise briefs now give me wedgies! I may go back to fruit of the look.

I'm done with cotton. Despite the purported health benefirs, I find that cotton underpants = swamp crotch. Switched to Jockey modal and Tactel styles and I'm far more comfortable. Less bunching, too!

Another former VS fan who has converted to Costco. I'm telling you, they are great. I've had a really hard time finding underwear that are comfortable post C-section and these are great. I've never been much of a fan of sexy underwear though....I figure, by the time I'm in my underwear, I'm pretty much a sure thing.

Nordstrom Rack -- love getting the expensive boy shorts or hipsters for cheap.

I can't believe there's so much emphasis on underwear?

How do frumpy/comfy underwear affect your sex life?

Hell, I could wear boxers and my husband would STILL be all over me.

ridiculous

I wear Hanes - Low Rise Briefs.

Same here, but after reading this thread, I'm thinking I might try the Gap ones.

7:29 for not dowdy - anything that's a French brand and sheer lace are comfy for me. I friend swears by Cosabella too but I haven't tried them.

Costco - they are basically a bikini style. Wearing them hasn't limited my sex life. Super comfy, don't ride up and last forever as previously noted. I'm slim without much in the tush area and these stay put. Used to wear Jockey bikinis.

Wow, there's a lot of dowdy underwear on this thread. I opened it hoping for new ideas. I used to get great underwear from gap body but i dont like their current styles. I also buy calvin klein and target.
