Knickers that don't think they're thongs
in Gear
Well - are there any that always stay put (almost) no matter what ?

Better still SS is to go commando. I find this far more comfortable than having to pull my knickers 'down' and having them rub, which can be painful!
Well, i used to wear these all the time
They dont stay put that well
Not nice, not attractive.
My hubby bought a pack for me as a joke about two years ago, and I only stopped laughing enough to open them six months ago, and they're tremendous for running.
There's an opening for some manufacturer somewhere - 'Put the G into Ran - knickers your gran would approve of'....
Can't go commando - just can't...what if a seam bursts or something!
but NOT outside
I normally wear strings under my running gear and haven't ever found them uncomfortable, but I know they're not for everyone.
Last summer I was cycling in Cornwall, and as it was p*ssing it down, I wore my two piece swimming kit (well, there was clearly no chance of actually swimming in it) - tank top and shorts. I got a few odd looks from bemused grannies as I careered down the country lanes, but the gear was very comfortable. I haven't tried to run in it, but it might be worth a go - it certainly won't disappear up your backside, and the shorts are lycra so stretch... and they're obviously meant to be worn with no knickers! However, not sure about their wicking properties...
Over a day on a knickers thread and he hasn't appeared yet.
btw, isn't it embarassing to have to perform a spot of 'anal archaeology' when things do go groovewise? I just leave it up there now, I'm generally suffering so much all over a bit of bumcrack discomfort is the least of my worries.
People that go commando can't sweat as much as me either....people would think I'd wet myself from the sweat patches!
I've promised myself I'm going to start running again this week - and put the fun back into it - but this has always been one of those things I've hated & not found a cure for.
There's a fortune waiting to be made out there....
I like the sound of wearing tri briefs for those times when knickers are essential or why not try the athletic pants that Paula R wears. I'm sure they would be fine for under shorts.
Hadn't thought of Paula's pants tho' - sounds like a really good idea, although I don't know if they make them to accommodate the 'fuller figure'!!
Like Hilly, I'm a devotee of the racing shorts - and I also find that, because there's hardly any material on the thigh, they are the style of shorts which chafe the least. I do feel rather exposed in them, but well, the comfort makes this alright.
I've also seen fuller figure ladies wearing Paula-style pants in races, so they are definitely available.
Tempted to do the thong thing, as normally wear them.... but do they chafe the groove?
Done 4-5 miles with no probs... But have resisted wearing for any longer distance in case....
Don't recommend a slightly too small thong for when you're on a highly vibratory motorcycle though.
There are no services on the M54. But there were an awful lot of lorry drivers passing by that day . . .
My problem is sports bras ripping me apart, I feel like buying shares in Boots the amount plasters and vaseline I'm manageing to use any time I run over 6 miles.
Ok...will test the long distance thong thing in Conne...
How do they do that... it must just be sheer adrenalin that keeps them going.....
Guess different things suit different people. Will be thong testing soon...
That sound painful! Tried a Shock absorber?
Bodyglide?
Is that a bra type or what?! I don't need huge support on top (who am I kidding? - hardly any though do not appreciate the pancake effect as discussed on another thread!) But just sg that doesn't rub.
Sorry yes, Berlei shock absorber... It does the job, not tooooo constrictive, but as with most sports bras, ugly!!
Why do they have to be ugly and make you look like pancakes...is there not a happy medium somewhere?
