I used to wear the teeniest tiniest bikini underwear that I could fit into (no thongs for me). But after having Charlie, I love my full coverage, cotton gap underwear. I don't know if my butt got bigger/flatter post baby, but I just can't see how I used to wear such tiny underwear!
Do you rock granny panties now that you're a mom?

Is it bad that I rock granny panties and I'm not a mom? I love hipster panties & bikini cut. I never was a fan of thongs-- I'd feel like I'd have a perma-wedgie.

When pregnant, I prefer grannies, but I remember that in the brief months between giving birth to Claire and getting pregnant again, I went back to my usual thongs and lacy hipsters. But then again, this may only be due to the reason that I'm too cheap/lazy to get new underwear!

Not preggers yet, but I detest thongs. I have no idea how I survived wearing them in my early 20s. 
During that time of the month, I always put on my granny panties. On the daily, I'm a hipster brief or lace tanga fan.
I'm sure I'll be the same way after babies... NO THONGS over here.

I loved granny panties while pregnant, and I still love them now. I can't even remember the last time I wore a thong.

I wear boyshorts and hipsters a lot. I'm not a fan of granny panties or thongs, but hipsters, to me, are really comfy.

OMG yes. I bought them while pregnant because I couldn't find maternity ones that rode up. So it's been the 6 pack Hanes since then.

Ha! This cracks me up. I have no.idea.how.on.earth I used to wear 'butt flosses' every single day. Its a serious mystery... I wear boy shorts every single day. My faves are VS's Perfect Boyshorts as well as Gaps Lace Trim Girl Shorts!!!

I've never been a thong wearer. But now I'm back to regular bikinis. Boyshorts tend to ride up on me.

Boy shorts or hipsters when not pregnant but there is something awesome about maternity underwear and granny panties that I may keep a couple just for comfort.

I've always worn some nice comfortable underware, aka granny underwares, but I've always had a huge butt. i prefer to be comfy then trendy

Sexy (usually black or purple) bikini style. Always. Although that may very well change when I'm a few years older plus a few kids. I hope not though!

LOL. my bridesmaids had an "undies" bachelorette party for me, and as a joke, one girl got me red satin granny panties. I was totally slacking on laundry one week and wore them to bed (DH was horrified)..and I am counting down the days until I can wear them again! 
SO comfortable. oh my.

It sure feels like it! I bought two types of pregnancy panties, and the ones that fit the best definitely fit into the grannie panty category!

I don't even have kids yet and I'm a hanes girl all the way. I used to wear "sexy panties" (what my husband calls them) and I will occasionally as a nice treat for him but I just don't see the point in being uncomfortable all day. Every now and then I'll wear a thong if I'm wearing a tighter skirt/pants or if I'm wearing white or something like that. It's very, very rare though. I avoid VPL by making sure my clothes fit me properly .

I've always been a thong or boyshorts girl. But my thongs are "thicker" not the G-string flossy type if that makes any sense... I wore hanes briefs while preggo.

I still wear a thong, but cotton, not lace or anything. I can't handle regular underwear! Sometimes I will wear boy shorts, and I know that right after birth I will be wearing the biggest granny panties ever for awhile! I can only wear them with sweats though.

Totally--- so I treated myself to a bunch of Victoria Secret ones on sale last week. The only thing is...b/c of the time zone, they turned out not being on sale by the time I decided on my selections. I was desperate so I paid full price. They were still the more conservative ones....and all cotton, baby!
