But I've evolved! I've worn boy shorts, string bikinis, thongs and now I usually go commando. I remember being in my aunts wedding when I was a teen and one of the bridesmaids was always commando (my other aunt made the dresses so.we had multiple fittings together) anyway I thought no way back then...<br /> But 20+ yrs later and I now get it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901954 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 08:10:09 +0000 meadow 2901954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks. I'll check out soma.</p> <p>I respect the opinions about we all wear underwear who cares. But as a high school teacher I don't feel it is appropriate for my underwear or bra to ever be visible. At the same time I want to feel happy about my body and wearing super loose pants makes me look &amp; feel fatter than I am. While I don't wear leggings, my pants are tighter and sometimes my panty line was showing.</p> <p>Thanks everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901496 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 14:03:12 +0000 Mamatimes3 2901496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the soma ones noted above. As I get older I’m going for comfort more than anything else. I like these. They also have some that are a little tighter in the belly area. Not like spanx but suck you in a tiny bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901493 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 13:51:35 +0000 graceandjoy 2901493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: oo that's good to know; i exclusively wear panties with lace bands b/c I hate feeling remotely anything "restricting" me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901486 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 13:17:14 +0000 Petitduck 2901486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hitchhiker: yep. I never understand why people care if you can see your underwear line. Especially in pants or leggings. The majority of people wear underwear so why are we trying to keep it a secret/ pretend we aren’t wearing it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901483 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 13:09:46 +0000 meganmp 2901483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target has some really silky bikini underwear that I haven't had an issue with at all. At $5 apiece, they are not a super huge investment either. They keep them in bins in the intimates section. I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901476 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 11:45:10 +0000 LCTBQE 2901476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: if it's the line I'm thinking of, they have a weird rubbery edging on them that is kind of polarizing--it bothered me when I tried it once. But my regular panties are from soma and hold up pretty well, I like the brand a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901462 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 10:51:51 +0000 graceandjoy 2901462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A style blogger I follow and love swears by Soma; they have some kind of no panty-line collection. I missed their last big sale so I'm waiting for a another deal to finally try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901454 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 09:52:57 +0000 LCTBQE 2901454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hitchhiker: YES, this is something that women willingly participate in and buy into and it's our prerogative to change it. see also: women demurring about telling people their age, and pretending we don't dye our hair. I work in fashion, am quite vain and style is very important to me, but I think this is idea that VPL is such a gauche thing is anti-feminist and needs to go. </p> <p>@meadow: so, you will probably gawk at this, but my new jam is Calvin Klein MEN'S boxer briefs. The fit is super snug, they never budge and they are SO comfortable, I love them. Even though I do believe that VPL as a concept can fuck off, I hear you and these fit the bill for pretty much anything clingy like skirts or trousers. If you're wearing leggings they might show around the thigh a bit depending on how they fit you; mine don't really. Call me crazy but I love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901449 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 08:15:08 +0000 hitchhiker 2901449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not what you're looking for, but I'll suggest wearing whatever undies make you comfy and not GAF (sorry, not sorry) about VPL. I'm convinced it's the patriarchy. Another thing taking up our precious mental space and time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901447 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 06:33:20 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2901447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear icon (now speax?) underpants because of my pelvic floor damage. But I have heard good things about Soma Intimates underpants for this purpose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901446 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 04:52:16 +0000 meadow 2901446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: yeah.....I get that things would solve the issue....but I'm not interested in wearing them daily.....I pretty much can handle them like 1x/year.....hah<br /> Thanks though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901444 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 04:49:02 +0000 MrsADS 2901444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following. I can't wear a thong all day (not comfortable!). I've been wearing Aerie's boyfriends but they're not perfect. A little ride up and some vpl sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901441 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 00:50:07 +0000 cake2017 2901441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: Not exactly what your asking but I’d wear thongs with the work pants. No issues there. Target, online or Nordstrom etc has nice quality ones that are cute and comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-vpl-and-no-wedgies#post-2901438 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 22:36:00 +0000 meadow 2901438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Favorite bikini style undies with no VPL and no ride up. GO!</p> <p>I just bought new work pants and apparently the styles are closer cut to my butt than 3 years ago when I bought pants ( haha) and my trusty hanes no ride ups are showing a bit more than I'd like.</p> <p>Suggestions that can be bought in a multi pack get bonus points ;)</p> <p>TIA! </p>
