Can we talk undies?

I really don't know what to do here. I wore a new pair of boyfriend jeans yesterday. On a person with no gut I guess they're supposed to sit on your hips. On me I pull them up. My stomach is a mess. I have the apron and I swear when I have a tummy tuck I'll go down 2 sizes. I realized yesterday when I bent, 4 inches of granny panty's showed much to my horror.

I'm not sure how to go about this. I do not have the figure at this time for a boy cut. Bikinis and thongs are totally out of the question. I don't know what size to get. I'm in a 9 but I did some evaluating last night and I'm in essence wearing a diaper.

My stomach is a real issue. Any suggestions?

  • It would be easiest to layer a tank top under your shirt. It will still cover anything (butt crack, granny panties, spanks) if your shirt raises up.

    I like those spanx or encore or any body shaper. ( hint. Put on from bottom. Not over your head). They help hold things in place for me a bit better for years til I saved for a TT Good luck not dr

    Oh Lord no, not the butt crack. I will wear a cami and tuck it in, good suggestion!

Good luck not dropping your drawers

and yes it happens a lot ????

I like the hipster panties at Walmart made by blissful benefits. They are the No muffin top ones!

I wear Victoria secret underwear. I don't tuck my belly into my underwear. I wear a compression tank to keep everything smooth and in place.

I sucked it up and got some bikinis. Not cute with an overhanging gut, but way preferable to them hanging out of my pants. I also found I have no hips, so I bit the bullet and started buying belts. Got a black one, a brown one, and a really cute one woven in Peru. I never wore belts when I had a muffin top, but now I see why skinny people wear them! :)

Hipsters or low rise briefs(not bikini) I buy Faded Glory cotton stretch at Walmart.

I just found some great shapewear called Yummie. They have great tank tops that give you firm but comfortable support all the way past your hips. They are long enough to cover your bum and lower belly. The compression feels great and helps with a squishy, jiggly belly. The bonus is a smoother silouhette. I bought them in several colors so I never have to be without them. HTHs!

Commando! Haha, but past that, the cami trick was always helpful to me. I didn't tuck it in, but just wore it as a longer shirt over my jeans and then a cute matching top on top of it, but in hindsight, tucking it in also works.

As a note, you will def go down sizes after an abdominoplasty. I started plastics in a 10 and I'm now in a 2-4 largely as a result of skin removal over 8 months.

I wear boy shorts or hipsters by Lane Bryant. Can't wait to get out of that store!
