The right underwear...HELP!

I have always had a difficult time finding good underwear, even before I was pregnant. My issues: 1) Panty lines are so not cute, but beyond that, I hate wedgies...so if I wear a thong,  then it stays in place all day without bunching. 2) My crotch area seems to be less wide than most people because regular panties hurt me where my crotch meets my legs, so thongs help with this too since they are thinner in that area as well. 3) I always have a lot of discharge throughout the day (even before pregnancy), but they don't make good absorbent panty liners for thongs yet, so when I try to wear them, I get really itchy. So I've been wearing a small tampon every day which has really help with the itch factor, but I know it's no the healthiest thing to do in pregnancy. 

SO, where do I find underwear that will stay in place in the back, be thin enough in the front/middle, and be a regular cut so I can wear an absorbent enough panty liner that won't make me itch?!? I know....I sound so high maintenance, but uncomfortable underwear I know will just keep being a bigger deal as my pregnancy progresses and in general as I get older. Uuuugh. HELP!

    Calvin Klein seamless bikinis all the way. They are SOOO comfy and not too wide in the crotch, but not too thin.

    I would definitely stop the tampon thing now.  You know it isn't good for you during pregnancy.  It isn't good to wear one when you aren't on your period in general.  Wear clothes that don't show a panty line.  You'll need maternity clothes anyway, so I'd take this as an excuse to go shopping!

    Oh, and I also sweat a lot, so I need breathable materials. Lace and cotton seem to be best. The 'slick' materials don't bode well ;)

    The only kind I wear are the Victorias Secrets kind with the lace on the top, the 5 for $26.   I buy panty liners built for thongs and they seem to work fine... not sure exactly  the brand, but I think they are always.

    I know, but the couple brands I've found aren't absorbent enough and just let everything sit on top and rest on my skin...which causes the itching. So not pleasant :-P

    This, definitely! I love my CK's both bikini and boy short cut. They are super comfortable!

    You could try cloth liners instead of disposable. They cause less itching and they come in "thong" size.
