The kooky colors are actually what made me buy them! I was looking for cotton ones - I don't think I've worn non-cotton undies in my entire adult life - but the nutty color combinations sucked me in.  I think there's a hot pink pair with neon yellow trim? Yeah, totally up my alley.
They are comfortable, though - that's what really matters!

They don't really go around the belly, so I don't even think about the bloat factor. I definitely do get super bloated, but the undies only come up just past my pubic bone in the front.
You know, with all this underwear talk, I got really confused when you said "I know you are a D." I was thinking ... how the heck does she know my bra size??? Hahaha ... and to think, we talk about all this stuff with perfect strangers! Anyway, yes I think officially I'm IBS-D, but I haven't had D in a very long time. I've actually had occasional C when I don't eat enough insoluables, so maybe I'm really A, if anything. At this point, besides the bloating, I barely even feel like I have IBS at all (as long as I eat the right things).
Anyway, I hope these undies work out for you. By the way, Gap has so many sales that I never buy them full-price. Keep an eye out and only buy them on sale.

Hey those are super cute.  I'll look for them next time I buy underwear.

That's so funny!!! I know, it is weird to talk about underwear, BM's, constipation, diarrhea with people we never met!! But I could never talk with this with people I do know and see every day. They would think I was some sort of Bowel obsessed freak!! Always talking about BM's and poop and lack of poop!!
By the way, do you also take acacia?

I do have acacia and I am trying to get into the habit of taking it, but I've been pretty stable and regular for a while now (thankfully) so it's easy to forget taking it. I originally got stable by using citrucel along with the diet. It's way too gloopy though, so I stopped and switched to acacia. I was good about taking it for a while, but as my schedule got hectic and my tummy got better, it became easy to forget. I'll try to remember to take some tonight!

Yes, I could wear size 8 but I don't like anything tight in my tummy area.

I don't bloat that much unless I'm about to get my period but I wear bonds hipsters or Target (which I don't think you have in the us but you would get something similar elsewhere, Walmart maybe?) low rise. A lot of the store brand hipsters are just as good. I wore these all through both pregnancies in my normal size so I guess they'd cope pretty well with bloating.
