Underwear that stay put?



Recommended Posts

Good evening everyone. I don't have anyone to ask who would understand this question. I need new undies an I am tired of buying packs of underwear only to try one pair and find out they don't stay on! My first problem is I have no butt whatsoever and the girth of my hips and abdomen are sticking out past my behind. The major problem is my underwear don't stay up. They manage to roll down as I am walking and REALLY create a problem when I am wearing a skirt (really pleasant visual image, I am sure ;) ). I am also on a tight budget and am in the pre-op process, so I don't want to put out much money and they don't need to be of the highest quality since I don't plan on keeping them forever. What works for you? Oh and I need a fuller coverage so no thongs! ;) I work too hard to keep my undies out of my butt crack! Thanks in advance for sharing your experience! OH, and how do you choose the right size?

If you buy Hanes or fruit of the Loom isn't there a size chart on the package? Measure your waist and hips to see what size the package recommends.

I find that cotton stretch underwear are very comfortable, stay in place and don't ride up.

Hi! I have undie troubles too - for me, it's mostly that my belly is disproportionately larger than my hips / legs, so the legs always stretch out and leave a gap. Seriously awkward! Anyway, I discovered vassarette boy shorts at Wal-Mart a few weeks go. I'm in a 22/24/26 jeans depending on how they're cut, and the 3x fits perfectly - no gaps or weirdness and the legs stay put without pinching. They say "light control", but I didn't notice any control - they just fit. Under $4 online, but I found them in the store for ~$2.50

Try Avenue's solid seamless briefs. They are spandex so they stay on really well. Even the ones I have that are a few sizes too big stay put when I need them to.

I like to get undies with spandex in them as opposed to all cotton. All cotton seem to lose their shape and roll down over your gut. Ugh. But a little spandex goes a long way to shape retention and keeping the undies up where they belong.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
