So comfy. </p> <p>I wear that cut or thongs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1043406 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 08:10:48 +0000 MsLipGloss 1043406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I bled like that until 6 weeks, and then off and on like that until 8 weeks. I hear ya! I didn't go back to my regular undies until after 8 weeks. Sometimes you just have to adjust on the fly, VPLs be damned! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1043399 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 08:06:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 1043399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: ugh. I'm still bleeding enough to need an actual pad four weeks later. Adding a thing to the mix- no thank you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1043372 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 07:58:43 +0000 MsLipGloss 1043372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Hahaha - yes! I wore the mesh undies from the hospital at first, and then I switched to the only non-thongs I own(ed) . . . low-rise stretch lace boy shorts from VS. I was so happy to get back to my thongs! I just can't mentally handle the idea of VPLs no matter what I am wearing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1043108 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 23:04:00 +0000 yoursilverlining 1043108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for lace thongs - they stretched and didn't have a band to dig into your skin at all. </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: for the first few days pp I wore regular bikini cut or boyshorts, but they make some great pantyliners for thongs now so once the mega-bleed was over, the thongs were back! Woohoo! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1043092 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 22:43:06 +0000 Boheme 1043092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the VS lacies.

I didn't have a problem until a.few days ago. But truth be told, it is for the best. Most of my underwear has so many holes in it, I need a good excuse to buy new ones!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I also need a liner for the progesterone goop that comes out! Plus, I just don't have the patience to mess with them.constantly. I need comfort!</p> <p>@Jennimac: fair. I have some of those for AF days, when I just need coverage and comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1043029 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:34:22 +0000 autumnlove 1043029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I wore Fruit of the Loom bikinis PP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1043027 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:31:16 +0000 avivoca 1043027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently wearing my regular size in bikini briefs.

Maybe it's worth waiting it out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042992 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:09:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 1042992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: I occasionally do have vpl but I'd rather that than jiggly butt or the annoyance of a thong! And I have some pairs that lay smoother and flatter. </p> <p>To you thong lovers, you must have worn something else immediately post partum, right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042988 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:08:11 +0000 singingbee 1042988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I went with sexy granny panties. I had to have it up on my bump otherwise it would slide down below it and I always felt like it was going to fall off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042985 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:06:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 1042985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I'm with you. Things are for very special occasions only. Plus I had to wear a panty liner for that lovely increased discharge for the last several months of pregnancy. And pp? These ladies are crazy!!</p> <p>I wore my regular underwear but the biggest ones I had- mostly gap bikinis or hipsters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042937 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:42:17 +0000 artsyfartsy 1042937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: Thanks!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042931 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:41:20 +0000 artsyfartsy 1042931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: with work pants I have to be careful and smooth everything out but I find my boyshorts lay flat against my skin so i don't get a panty line. The ones i buy are thin and stretchy. But for jeans I have no problem at all. They stay put and are super comfy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042906 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:30:37 +0000 Pink Champagne 1042906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for either the Lacey thong from Victorias Secret or Hanky Panky. One size fits all means it will stretch with you and you should be able to wear them after baby is born. Why waste money on new undies that you can't wear later?</p> <p>As for the thong-haters, how do you deal with the constant panty lines? You must have secrets that I am not aware of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042866 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:10:13 +0000 allison 1042866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: sure! These are the two different kinds I got.

I love VS and would love to stick with cute undies I can wear pp too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042849 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:00:55 +0000 allison 1042849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to buy some new undies when my belly got huge. I loved the lace-waist ones at VS. The lace didn't cut into my belly, so they were so comfy.</p> <p>I agree with others... thongs?! No way, Jose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042848 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:00:30 +0000 artsyfartsy 1042848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried a thong once...and never did it again! Don't know how you ladies do it!! Something that sits below your belly. I usually buy VS pink boy shorts (addicted) but they are awkwardly sitting over my belly now that I'm getting bigger and folding up. I personally don't like bikini briefs...I feel like they don't fit me well in the crotch so I'm going to get some hipsters that sit below my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042778 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:35:51 +0000 matador84 1042778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to get maternity panties from motherhood! My butt is huge and I had plumbers crack issues in regular panties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042766 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:30:13 +0000 MrsF 1042766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some from gap maternity but I think they're almost identical to my prepreg ones. I still have them in my rotation 11 months after baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-cut-of-underwear#post-1042741 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:12:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1042741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: glad I'm not the only one!</p> <p>@Torchwood: that is so funny, because the only time I do that is when I AM wearing a thong!</p> <p>I may go with my favorite hipsters in a size up. I just hate anything tight on my belly, but weirdly, my low cut underwear is making me insane. I'm ready to throw it all away. I have a feeling new underwear will be in my future a few times this pregnancy... </p>
