teacher 36 Posted September 21, 2013 So when I exercise my shorts are too big and fall down and my panties are too big so when my shorts fall down my panties fall down too. I have always bought my panties at Lane Bryant and bought the high leg. I liked these because I have a big lower stomach from excess skin and the high leg was not too high that my stomach roll fit in the panty and not over it and because they had pretty colors and laces, etc. Well, I was wearing a 14/16 in LB panties and their panties do not go smaller in size. Does anyone have some recommendations for panties that have the same qualities are LB's? I have lost 43 pounds but I still have this excess skin stomach that has to be tucked away. 1 FindingElise reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted September 21, 2013 I actually just bought some today. I just bought the cheap microfiber fruit of the loom.. I got seven pair for ten dollars. I figure they're good for the transition period I'm in. I LIKE maidenform panties but I don't want to pay right now for them.... Personally I buy briefs because my lowerstomach is really wide and floppy and sticks out the legs of the high cut.. gross.. Can't wait to get that thing cut off..... then I'll be able to wear something with a high leg and/or low waist. 1 FindingElise reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FindingElise 62 Posted September 21, 2013 I just wanted to say congrats on graduating from Lane Bryant panties!!! I don't have any recommendations, but I'm very curious to see what others suggest. I hate going into LB stores, so I'd love to buy similar panties from a different retailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piercedqt78 658 Posted September 21, 2013 I love the Gilligan and O'Mally from Target. They have a knock off of spanks too, I can't remember if they are from Target or Walmart. I'm not a girly girl, so I don't do lace, or satiny material, but the Target panties come in several materials and I have always liked the feel and quality of them. 1 FindingElise reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piercedqt78 658 Posted September 21, 2013 I also LOVE going to Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshall's for designer panties at super discounts. 2 CowgirlJane and FindingElise reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted September 21, 2013 When I'm a 14, victoria's secret L fit me just fine. In fact, I'm wearing their XL at a 16/16w. Their hipsters fit really well, last FOREVER, and are worth trying. Just don't go the bikini/thong/tanga route and you should be good. 1 Shrinking_Lola reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj44 215 Posted September 21, 2013 Ok. I have a question.... Exactly what r spanks? Is that what they r called in the store ? I've spent so many years NOT shopping for clothes only grabbing the cheapest things from the clearance racks to get me through. Can't remember the last bra I bought for myself. Gotta go buy one now cuz of course the boobies were the first size down I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted September 21, 2013 Spanx.com Super hold-her-in undergarments that magically smooth out every lump and bump while only slightly cutting off circulation. Light-weight and resilient. Godsend in the winter, kill-you-dead in a Texas or NY summer. There are many rip-offs that are a lot cheaper and some of them work as well, but I do think Spanx are the gold standard in the modern day version of girdles. 3 Shrinking_Lola, SuperFab and Trophy wife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piercedqt78 658 Posted September 21, 2013 Spanxs are thick spandex panties that work like a body shaper. They help smooth out the rolls of skin, and can even make you look a few sizes smaller. They are like girdle panties. I wear them with summer dresses and I can wear a Large. without them I look pregnant in an XL. They help conceal the access skin I am dealing with until I reach my goal and get plastics done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gamergirl 4,610 Posted September 21, 2013 What are Tanga panties? some brazilian sh*t j/k They are thongs really but with a much wider band than the butt floss of usual thongs. Wider band up front as well make them look like almost normal panties from the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj44 215 Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks! I might try a pair. Would love to not look "prego" lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I avoid that area of the store all together. My husband says I have a phobia of thongs, and he thinks it's very funny to offer to buy them for me when people are within ear shot. 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newkat12 65 Posted September 22, 2013 I swear by the Hanky Panky Retro Thong. The band totally holds in the tummy and zero panty lines. They are especially great with workout clothes like fitted leggings and yoga pants. I would never wear thongs before, but now wear these every day. The look and feel great. http://www.hankypanky.com/Signature-Lace-Retro-Thong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
