Can We Talk About Underwear?



Recommended Posts

This might sound crazy but I can't find any underwear that fits! I have diaper butt no matter what I wear. I was wearing a 22/24 panties from Lane Bryant. I went to Victoria's Secret and bought their all cotton panties in XL but they seem to stretch out a lot, I'm guessing due to the lack of spandex. I even went to Walmart to buy some underwear but I can't determine my size. All of them are sized differently like 5,6,7,8,9, etc. Has anyone found a good quality panty that's working for you? Please let me know what brand to buy and where to find them.

Thanks ladies!

Try Jockey "No Lines" they are sized by your waist or pant size. I think a 16- 18 pant would wear a size 8, extremely comfortable and no baggy anything. They are weightless and the good thing, you can buy one pair at a time. I tried my first pair on Kohl's clearance rack. Good luck.

:) I wear good ole cheapo Walmart undies, I divide my pants size in half then subtract one. I wear a size 26 pant and a size 12 undies.

Hope that helps :)

I love the expensive panties at Kohls but I'm not going to pay the $ for them while I'm losing weight.. I bought the Hanes Her way instead. They are really nice and got 3 pairs for less them 12 bucks.. Pretty comfortable too.. I might just stay with them. I didn't know you could buy panties for such a good price that really look good and feel good!! I bought the sting bikini ones and they have plenty of coverage for my rear end!

I like lane Bryant's cacique undies. They are stretchy and fit snug without being too tight. I'm not sure what I will do when I undergrow their undies!

I like Hanes, Jockey and Joe Boxer brands. I prefer stretchy cotton with maybe a little spandex in them. I prefer bikini or hipsters. If you go to a brand's website, they will explain the sizing for their particular brand. Once I find a kind I like, I usually source it online (I live in the middle of nowhere) and try to find single rather than multi-packs.

I love jockey brand. I am curvy and I like the bikini or hicut best. I guess cause I am heavy in the thighs, they just fit better and are comfortable. They last forever too. I was a size seven for years and then gained all the weight again and was a size 9 but I didnt by jockey when that heavy. I bought Walmart cheap fruit of the loom. They tear up in a few weeks and you have to buy more. The waist band starts raveling. My daughters do it too. Dont buy that brand. they also dont fit right.. too tight in the legs and if you get them big enough there, they bunch in your crack and bag everywhere. Jockeys are worth the money and they are often on sale at JCPenneys. Even if you are still an 8, 7's will fit and you have a longer time to wear them. At my skinniest 130 lbs in college, I like the way the 7's fit. Funny how you can wear a 7 for a range of 45 pounds but its true.

I also got some good ones I like at costco in a mulitpack. they are very strechy like LovePats. I dont know if you remember that brand from back in the day. I have worn mine so much, I wore the brand off of them, so I dont know what it is. hth!

I found the name of the other good ones! It-se-bit-see. I wore a size 8 when I weighed 234 and I still wear them now at 176 and they dont bunch up. They are great too. I got them at costco or Sams club. I think they both sell them. Good luck.

Girl, those are my favorite too! Great fit and they don't ride up. They are expensive though. I only buy them when they have their 5 for $25 sales.

<shrug> I find stretchy to thongs to stay in place best for me. There isn't any fabric to be pulled down or out of place, and I can get them rather inexpensively almost anywhere. Don't knock em until you try em.

Thank you all so much for your ideas! I'm going to Kohl's tomorrow to see which brands I can find in my size. If I'm not satisfied I'll keep trying other people's ideas. Can't do Lane Bryant anymore, too big :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
