STM...let's talk underwear!

LME06 · June 2012

I can't bring myself to say the word "panties" (shudders) it's on my "gross word" list. But I'm starting to think about the hospital bag. I've been told by a few friends to buy cheapie underwear because they will likely get ruined and end up in the trash anyways. I know they give you a few pairs of the mesh ones at the hospital, but I know those few pair won't be enough...so, I'm wondering what you all suggest...what brand, briefs or bikinis, etc? TIA!

Haha, I can't say it either! I think it's my mothers fault...she would always say "panties" in a whisper like it was something not to be discussed, it always seemed so awkward to me. I like under-britches

But yeah, I curious on this questions too.

Agreed! 95% of my underwear are thongs which I don't really see being conducive to post baby needs. I was thinking boyshorts?

I have always worn thongs but just broke down and bought some cheap-o comfy Hanes undies from KMart...best thing I ever did! I'm going to buy another pack or two (they're only about $6 each pack of 5 or 6) in dark colors for after the baby.

Try to get the hospital to give you as many mesh ones as possible. Especially if you have stitches. Big white granny panties...yea, I said it lol. All those dyes with sweat, stitches and blood....sounds like an infection. Of course that's just me, but that's what I'm wearing.

I'll stay in what the hospital provides for the first few days as that is when things are, well, the messiest.

After that point I'll probably just stick with my older classic cut/boy short pairs. This isn't the time to bust out some new underwear or lingerie.

Once things have calmed down (typically a few weeks) then I'll wear my nicer items and/or treat myself to some new boy shorts. (my favorites are from GapBody - love!)

I bought cheapie underwear when I started to gain weight because I tore the lace on one of my pair of tangas

I'll just be wearing through those until I can wear my cute stuff again.

I bought a 6 pack of Hanes bikini cut last time for like $10. They didn't get ruined like I expected so I still have them in the back of my drawer. I'll use those again for the first few weeks (once the hospital mesh ones are gone).

yes, I agree. I love the cotton thongs when pregnant, although after delivery go with the hanes or fruit of the loom. I prefered the hipster briefs after my dd1. I grab 2 packets at target and after all the mess only have a few left. That is one thing I need to pick up.

LOL, I hate the word panties too. I took a bunch of the hospital mesh panties and I just washed them over and over. They actually stand up to repeat washes pretty well. I even still have them to use again this time! I loved those things.

I had a c/s so anything lower than a granny style was uncomfortable.

I personally hated the hospital underwear because it never fit my big butt correctly. I felt like they were constantly falling down. Like other pp said, I bought some cheap and comfortable panties that worked much better for my needs.
