Egluntyne Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 A thong on an Eglu bum is not likely to be a pretty sight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Since having Stefan I am now in the big pants club. Have to hold that crepe paper, saggy tummy in somehow! - sorry!! Have you seen the pant/thigh thing that the guy in the 'How to look good naked' series gets his girls to wear? I want one of those!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 well I've got a feeling it was Ronnie Barker who said it first ... getting back on topic, those 'How to Look Good ...' ones are Spanx, I believe. Haven't tried them, but I have got M&S version. Trouble is, it all has to go somewhere ... you end up with a lovely smooth line, but a 'muffin-top'! well, I do anyway ... and you daren't eat or drink all day (try struggling out of THOSE in a hurry). I reckon curves are good. No cheese-wires for me though, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 well I've got a feeling it was Ronnie Barker who said it first ... getting back on topic, those 'How to Look Good ...' ones are Spanx, I believe. Haven't tried them, but I have got M&S version. Trouble is, it all has to go somewhere ... you end up with a lovely smooth line, but a 'muffin-top'! well, I do anyway ... and you daren't eat or drink all day (try struggling out of THOSE in a hurry). I reckon curves are good. No cheese-wires for me though, thanks! I like that programme - Gok is so much nicer than T&S - he manages to make everyone feel better about their bodies but...... both programmes make people look good when they are standing up!! The clothes do look good - but they never show people after they've been sitting at a desk for hours, getting children in and out of car seats, carrying shopping etc..... We could all look good, standing outside a school collecting our children, wearing Spanx, squidging all that extra weight somewhere - for 2 minutes!!!!!

Olly Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I do agree ... and in fairness, he said something last week like 'these are for Christmas, not for life'! I only wear mine when I've got a special occasion and I'm going to be on show, there's just no way you could wear them on a daily basis! I love the show though, because it's all about loving what you've got - and not comparing yourself to airbrushed pics! I wonder if he does consultations ...

craftyhunnypie Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 well, it's my sister's wedding on the 23rd. So I'm off into Crewe on a comfy pants hunt this afternoon. I want big pants, so they don't roll down & preferbaly some that might hold my jelly belly in a bit. Will have a look in M & S & BHS too. My mum keeps saying.." Get yourself some Sloggies luv". Will have a look at them, but the word 'sloggies' just seems to put me off! Need some cuff links for hubby too - for his penguin suit rig out! Big pants - here I come!

Mrs Frugal Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I love Sloggies. I've been wearing them for years. They are so comfy and voluminous . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 That's what PM's are for - moaning about knickers! I know all Kate's secrets (but then, she knows all of mine ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 I can understand the attraction of big knickers, but being a seasoned thong wearer, there's no going back for me... I find pants uncomfortable now. Commando's even better in the hot weather though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 You can't beat maternity knickers for comfort... I still wear mine nearly 4 years after my last child was born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well I found some lovely big knickers in M & S and a nice bra too, that I can hook the straps off for under my bridesmaid dress! Sorry, but I can't wear thongs, not only does it not look too fine on me - I find I am forever knicker picking! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 oooooh, lovely website, with lovely stuff. Much nicer than the regulation navy school knickers, and much sexier than the old maternity duds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
