Anybody prone to UTIs is typically discouraged by their doctor from wearing thongs.

Ain't nothin' quite so sexy as fecal bacteria traveling from anus to crotch via a synthetic string wedged up your ass...

I never wore bikini underwear--even when I was young. I didn't like feeling the elastic around my hips and I really don't like the unsightly line that shows through when wearing slacks. I also preferred cotton to nylon but these days I've succumbed to wearing synthetic blends as they are less bulky and feel like a second skin.

I agree. I've tried all different kinds of thongs and promptly returned them.

I haaate oooooo-unda-way-uhz. I really don't like them. I wear them when I wear skirts and that's about it. And only because once I wore a dress and it blew up over my head on a really windy day and a whole restaurant full of people saw my behind!
If I wear undies, they're certainly of the granny panty variety, though. I hate having wedgies.

For instance, these:
OK, fair enough. I think when boy shorts first came out, they had more coverage, but they've been making them shorter over the years, due to the booty-short phenom, and the general trend in the direction of more exposure.

They have always felt like perpetual wedgies to me.

I'm sticking with my boy shorts; perfect fit, with just the right amount of cheek showing. Anything else just feels all sorts of wrong.

I've been wearing granny panties longer than I've been a granny. I believe the term originated when somebody saw the big loose flowing underpants that Woolworth's used to sell. Young people who say they'd never wear granny panties have no idea what those were.

I wear white nylon briefs (no cotton for me) with a lace waistband. They are by no means loose and are quite comfortable. I wore them back in the 70s when my jeans were so tight that I
had to lie on the floor to zip them up. You'd never get away with loose undies under your Calvins!

I won't wear a thong. I can't imagine spending the day with a wedgie, but to each his/her own.
And I don't really care what others may think, after all, it is UNDERwear.

As for attracting men, I did okay in that department, despite my "full coverage".

Derrieres, like undies, come in all sizes - wear what feels best on yours.

Agreed. I swear, those who think they are uncomfortable are wearing the wrong size.

That said, I never thought bikinis or boy shorts were considered granny panties. Just high-waisted briefs.
