All hail the mighty bikini pata*
September 1, 2006
I’m a big fan of granny panties and I suspect a lot of people who are bigger than a certain size are. They cover the derriere, while minimizing the occurences of wedgies, or as the Yoruba say, “your butt eating your clothing”.
I actually think I was born wearing granny panties and why change a good thing, right?
Until my coworkers urged me to try thongs. I bought them and to date have worn them once [around the house] and it is not an experience I’m eager to repeat. When those same coworkers urged me to try bikini briefs, I sort of rolled my eyes but gave them a go [I don't even have to mention that they were on sale. We all know I wouldn't even consider it otherwise].
And I love them!
Who knew that underwear that didn’t act as a mini girdle could be so comfortable? They’re perfect for my jeans that sit just below the waist [no nasty 3 inches of white underwear blinding onlookers when I bend down]. And they are black.
There is just something about black underwear that makes me feel oh so sophisticated. Sure, I spent yesterday in an old nightgown, and my one concession to civilization was brushing my teeth, but with my sexy black 95% cotton/5% lycra super comfy bikini panties? I am sophistication personified!
Time to spill: what kind of underwear do you feel your best in?
*the Yoruba word for underwear
I wear thongs with all my work clothes and low-rise bikinis with everything else. I hated thongs for years and when I started working (and Heaven help me I have 2-3 pairs of white pants) I tried everything under the sun to avoid panty lines: Boycut. Shorts. Seamless. More. Less. The only thing that worked was thongs, so I decided to nut up. Glad I did because now I have absolutely no problem with them and they are flawless for under all work pants. I never have to worry about what pudge is hanging in or outside the edge of my undies. Only problem is that, obviously, there is no coverage… so with thin pants I get a little twitchy. Heh.
Um – I tend to go for bikini cut and boyshorts. I've noticed the person before has listed "boycut" and "shorts" – I don't know how that differs to "boyshorts".. but… there ya go :)
i wear white underwear, when i go without a belt you can see them
in the front as well as the back!
never wear the boxers
"Boy cut" and "boy shorts are totally different. The shorts literally look like miniature shorts, which I'm not too pleased about as you are expected to hide all of this bunching fabric (a pair of shorts!) under your jeans, whereas "boy cut" gives the illusion of a boy's underwear but with more shape.
Oh, JOOMY!
You've come over to the dark side!
I have so many things to write about underwear now that I HAVE TO GO MAKE AN ENTRY ABOUT UNDERWEAR!
Because I LOVE UNDERWEAR!
And I love that you now love underwear too!!
Let's go on a spree, shall we?

Oh ok… I got some that were labelled "boyshorts" – but they are boy cut by Staecies description. Guess it really depends on the makers.
I've only ever worn bikini ones. Thongs – don't get me started. What the hell is the point? Go commando if you're going to wear butt floss. Same thing really.
I love underwear…
I also don't mind the thong, although there are some that are much less wedgy prone than others. It's finding the right one that poses the challenge, and you have no idea until you get them home, of course.
I gave up on the granny panties years ago. Bikinis and thongs all the way now…
I love the bikinis and also boy shorts (my fave)
