Hi everyone. I am in need of some suggestions on comfortable underwear! brand names and styles , Hi-cut, brief,bikini,... Or do people just buy any type and go up a size or two in order to be comfortable?
We discussed pants, so how about going to what's underneath?!!! Honestly, I am desparate for recommendations on any brand name and style that anyone has found to be good to relieve pain pressure from clothing. I have major bloating by the end of the day too.
Did you guys need to order a larger size than you would normally take larger size than you would normally take? To give breathing room?
Thanks everyone!!! Need some new undies soon!!!

What I find are most comfortable are low-rise bikinis/briefs. Not boy leg, the annoying longer-leg ones, but the ones that are low-cut at the top (and they tend to be lower in the leg, too). I don't have super-bad bloating problems, but I find that ANY pressure above a point that's about 2" below my navel makes me feel *horrible*, so I make sure those elastic bands hit as low as possible.
The last ones I bought were stretch mesh, from Wal-Mart, and they are *so* comfortable.

Casey, do you know if these are Walmart's own brand of underwear? I looked and couldn't find what you were talking about. They had two that might be the right ones. One was a low rise mesh, the other was a low dip bikini.By Out of Boundaries or something like that.
Do you usually order your right size, or go a size higher. Like I would technically wear a size 5 but maybe 6 would be better?

Hi Augie,
I love the Hanes her way Body Creations (microfiber) with no panty lines. I get mine at Walmart and I like the briefs. They are very lightweight and comfy. The size is kind of tricky. I don't like them too tight but not falling off either. I get the size 9 and I weigh 120 lbs. I have gotten the 10 which is very comfy, too, but just a little too roomy.
Good luck Barbie

I know most folks can't understand it but I find thongs to be the most comfortable thing in the world, I'll never go back. Victoria Secret low-rise COTTON thongs.... the best. I've tried cheaper brands from Wal-Mart because I'm all about not buying the name brand, but others fell apart in the laundry after only a few washes. So I stick with these.
If they fit comfortably under a big ole pregnant belly you know they fit well under the bloat. That's just me, though!
-------------------- Take care,

I like the hipster cut ones from Gap Body. I have them in cotton, mesh, and some lacy ones. Here is one pic: gap body. Old Navy has a similar cut. I find them very comfy, and the seems/lines don't show under my pants. Panda

I agree with Casey, low rise cotton hipster briefs, I get mine from Penneys or Marks and Spencer, which won't be any help to you I'm afraid. The key is the low rise, the leg is really up to your personal preference.

I love thongs, but I won't buy anything from Vicky C as they don't make or carry my bra size... personal issue.. I get mine from fredericks of hollywood mail order or from a local shop that carries decent quality ones- when hey have sales all the better..

Do you usually get the currect size from the back size chart, or get a larger size? Thanks for the help. They look like they could work
