And do you like it?
I haven't bought new underwear in forever. I am thinking about getting rid of all my VS thongs with cutesy designs and just getting some neutral colors. I'm too old to be wearing underwear with "I Love Kissing" written all over it 
What brand of underwear is your fave? And what's your favorite cut/style? I'm still leaning towards thongs because I hate VPL.

VS. Tangas, hipsters, lowrise bikini. The lace ones don't have VPL

Hanky Panky thongs and some plain cotton undies from Costco.

Jockey bikini briefs and thongs. They're the only ones I wear, super comfortable.

I junked all my crazy VS undies a few years back and wear plain old VS undies now. Solid cotton ones, and lace ones.

@mrsjyw: I've had recurrent yeast infections in the past, so I stick with 100% cotton now. Sucks cause the lace ones are so pretty! But not worth the consequences.

Love Lululemon Bandhawear bikinis. I used to always wear Hanky Panky thongs, but once I discovered these I hate wearing anything else. They are pricey though.

Surprisingly, I found undies I really like at Aerie. One of my friends had the cutest bra top on, and I asked her where she got it, so she gave me her Aerie coupon and the rest is history. They have a lot of really pretty, plain stuff at our local store.

VS. I get monthly coupons for free panties. I like cheekies (and so does DH). I buy mostly solids or subtle patterns. Under most things they don't have a VPL and I buy no show undies for when I wear dresses and skirts.

@Boheme: I always forget about Aerie!

I wear VS cheekies, too. They're awesome and I never have VPL (@Mamaof2: Visible Panty Lines).

Those of you that wear the cheeky/hipster undies...do y'all have junk in the trunk? I do and in the past that cut hasn't been as comfortable for me because I feel like I'm getting a wedgie or I'm busting out of them. Maybe I need to size up or I'm just not trying the right brands?
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
@lawbee11: I'm petite but I've got a little junk. It was trial and error to find comfortable ones. I could fit into a smaller size, but they start to squeeze and go where they shouldn't.
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
@lawbee11: I don't have junk, but I do know I find more comfort in a size up rather than normal/small size!

@lawbee11: I wear VS the Lacie thongs. Love 'em. I'm petite with a booty, but I have liked the ones@Mamaof2: showed.

I'm cheap, I usually get the 7 for $20 when on sale at Target the Gilligan O'Malley brand or I just get a package of the Hanes hiphugger microfiber undies.

bikini! thongs just haven't been comfortable since dd1. that's a nice way of putting it.
also, I had to pitch all my old hipster/cheeky ones..I felt like I had a permanent wedgie!

If I REALLY wanted to invest in nice underwear I would buy a bunch of thongs and panties by Cosabella. Their stretch lace is really comfortable and sexy. However, they are pretty pricey. I love this thong and they have tons of colors.

I'm boring - I wear Hanes Hipster.
@lawbee11: I have lots of junk in the trunk and the Hanes Hipster ones give me total coverage. They aren't cheeky at all.

Victoria's Secret PINK. Hipsters or boy shorts. Yes, they have silly patterns and sayings but i think they're fun!
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@Mamaof2: yup I have the same ones.,.
The cheeky ones give me wedgies but not these. I've got a decent booty.

@hotchildinthecity: I wont wear pink because I have to wear a full size larger in them compared to VS

I used to only wear the stretch lace hipster thongs (didn't matter what brand to me), but since having LO I've been loving my hipster bikinis from target. Cheap, comfortable, and NO LOVE HANDLES...which is most important for me.

@Mamaof2: interesting. I wear the same size in both but i dont like vs's regular line.

Gilligan O Malley from Target. There's a type of material that's really soft and doesn't show panty lines! I get their bikini or hip hugger style. I'll throw on a thong if I'm wearing something super clingy or see through-ish like white shorts.

@Mamaof2: I almost exclusively wear those, as well. They fit nicely, hold up well, and arent' super granny-ish. My thongs are mostly Huit, but I'm lame and almost never wear thongs any more.

@Mamaof2: I love these! They're my favorite - and they don't bother my cs scar!

Prior to pregnancy, all sorts of thongs. Now, I wear bikinis. I can't stand thongs anymore. I really like the ones from GAP.
pineapple / 12526 posts
VS hiphuggers and cheekys. I like the ones with the lace waistband too, since they cause less muffin top. haha

I have switched to the cheekinis lately and love them! Cotton with lace edge and no vpl for me:

Eta: not entirely clear on the difference between cheeky and cheekinis but it seems the latter has a little more coverage when I saw both in the store. Also , on sale now 5/$26.50

@lawbee11: I have a big (but toned) bum and I wear a size up in knickers. I.e uk size 12 trousers and uk size 14 knickers, so much more flatering.

On Gassamer's hi cut bikini is my favorite. I get them at Nordstrom, but here's the link to their site. http://www.ongossamer.com/
Most of mine are colorful. The panty is a solid color mesh and has a contrasting color edge. Attached are examples of the single color neutral and the more fun two color undies.

I'm petite with some junk and I replaced all of my underwear when they (meaning Victoria Secret!) had their semi-annual sale this summer with lace-waist cheekies and I love them! I bought both sm and xs and the sm is so much more comfortable.

victorias secret lace cheekies and hipsters. it's all i wear! my DH buys me 10 pairs every year at christmas.

I totally forgot about Honeydew - that's where half my stuff is from! So cute and so soft. They sell them in Nordstrom etc.
