Guest Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Kate, that girl with the red vest and knickers that they've got on their homepage looks remarkably like your old 'SuperKate' avatar.....You don;t think she's moonlighting, do you?!

Jules. Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 We used to call Alexander's underpants "thunderpants" when he first started wearing them. Ethan calls his "crackers" and his trousers "trolleys". His dad helped him with the descriptions. *sorry Alexander* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 moochoo, have you ordered from them? I was very excited, because they do 'boyleg' swimpants ... saves on depilating! and more flattering to those of a curvaceous nature. But I see it's all from New Zealand, and there was something about having to pay tax on delivery - how does it work? or do they have stockists over here. I'm keen to order some for my hols, bikini days are well and truly gone but I find those tankini tops very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Olly, I've ordered from them loads of times. They charge you p&p but no additional taxes through customs or nasty stuff like that. I highly recommend them and just like Omlet they're so helpful if you e-mail them with questions. As a guide Nz sizes are equivilant to ours. They take about 5-10 days to arrive. Hope you enjoy them if you do buy some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Oh, dear I'm out of the loop here Me and my boy shorts or thongs........ depending on outerwear (sorry I'll do pretty much anything to avoid VPL, even suffer a cheesewire ) from M&S or figleaves.com simply don't cut the mustard I'll go and hang my head in shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm with you here Kate - I hate a VPL and the feel of my clothes/trousers dragging on pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You wouldn't have vpl in a burqa. The knickers Chookiehen recommends sound very comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I think the Burqa sounds ideal Clare - believe me, when you carry some extra weight, thongs do give a vpl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Or....armpit huggers, that have leggings attached! but they'd have to come down to the elbows as well - or all my back fat would be squidged over the top (sounds like something Gok would recommend! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 My mother greeted me this morning with ...........'I've lost a pair of my knickers.............do you know where I may have put them' Dreading to think what my mum may have been doing to lose a pair of her knickers................I continued the conversation to discover she has been clearing out her wardrobes and drawers and cannot find her favourite pair of M&S hold it all in from the waist to the knees knickers. M&S don't sell that particular style anymore and she feels bereft without them Now I like a big knicker but just cannot get on with the hold it all in ones (even though my very big wobbly tummy demands that I should ). I bought some once and just found that I couldn't get in or out of them very easily Quite like the ones in the link from NZ..........may have to order some.

bronze Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 btw when I say big pants I'm not talking holdem iins or mama briefs I'm talking more a nice solid pair of bikini briefs none of this wear a piece of string that has no use to it business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Sarah what patterns have you chosen on your thunderpants? I am afraid I have been very dull & gone for plain black. If I like them I promise to be more adventurous next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Sorry - been too busy to come on here the past week - but I have to put in (another) good word for Sloggi knickers - they're great! They're really comfortable, last for ages, and do come in different degrees of coverage - from 'maxi' to 'string'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Just an update. My Thunderpants arrived today & they are lovely & comfy. They may not be for everyone as they have quite a large coverage, but the added bonus of that is that they also hold everything in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
