snug undies

Apr 01, 2011 19:23

I was wondering what some of your favorite pad-friendly snug fitting underwear brands are? I strictly use hanes cotton stretch bikini underwear while i'm using cloth pads and I thought they were rather snug fitting but I'm having problems with wingless pads staying put so I'm looking for different underwear to try. I'm not giving up on wingless ( Read more... )

My favourite brand of undies for pad wearing is by Bonds. Bonds are an Australian brand, so I'm not sure if they're available elsewhere, but I also have a pair of undies by Jockey that I really like. I would look around for underwear with a blend of 5% spandex and the rest a natural fabric (e.g. Cotton). I hope that helps :)

My favorite undies are almost 100% cotton... except when I'm on my period. They don't hold their stretch much while wearing them. I still really prefer mostly cotton for breathability, and I splurged on some Victoria's Secret cotton bikinis that I came to love.

most of my undies are gap brand low rise bikini, 94% cotton with the remainder being something like lycra or spandex. They're breathable enough for me, and I've successfully used thin boosters as wingless liners (in a pinch) without any slipping around.

As far as underwear goes, they're very boring, but they get the job done (with minimal lines showing through), and now I have such pretty things to put in them!

It could also be that the liners are just to short for you. I have noticed that if I wear liners shorter than 8 inches they bunch and slide backward. I have heard that regular disposable pads are made for people who wear a size 8. If you wear a larger size than that, "regular" size liners might not be a good fit.
I have heard other poeple use a small safety pin to hold wingless liners in place.

ehhh that's the thing. I've heard that too but I'm a size 0 and I really just need liners for cup backup so because of my size and what I need them for, even 8 inches is overkill. Oooo safety pin good idea!

Interesting I wonder if that is part of the issue too... I hope you figure out something that works for you!
