Dont like gym rats who wear see thru clothing and visible thong!!!! I don't want to see that! Not cute! And wearing a thong to workout in, can not be comfortable!

Can't feel thong when it fits properly. Never get a wedgie. Nothing to wedge.

Done. Since you twisted my arm about it.

I start one on weekends because it is harder to PB at work. 

I LOVE THE RANDOMS!!

I always wondered why we have sat/sun spam but not during the week.

If your thong is constantly uncomfortable, your wearing the wrong ones.

But, I'll always feel something there that shouldn't be there.

I'm incompatible with thongs.

Agreed. I prefer to go commando. Especially at the gym. Yoga pants + thong = no bueno. Yoga pants + commando = super comfy and secretly risqué.

My problem is that with a very round and shapely butt (thank you), ALL THE UNDERWEAR wedges up into my crack. It does not stay where it should. Especially when exercising. So, starting out with less material is, for me, the way to go.

I've had anovulatory cycles for over a year with a max of two periods per year, so while I've only been temping for two cycles (hence the WTO/TWW threads), I know my shit about my body (thanks to learning from you all on the dump for over a year and a half) so calm down. Secondly, I, too, receive these hateful comments. I'm the only one I know in all of my friends and family on both DH's and my sides that's without a child. I sympathize with all of these comments because I receive them, too.

It is not my intention to word the UO as if we're responsible, in any way, for the comments received. For that, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that's how it's coming across to some of you.

There's value in finding peace of mind with what folks say to us by considering the source first - our bosses, our spouses, our neighbors, our family, our friends, the bartender, whomever.

I don't think it matter who says it. Whether it's your mom or best friend or random person at a mommy and me group (I may still be upset about that one). The comments are hurtful and you are entitled to feel whatever emotion you want to feel. You shouldn't feel bad about that.

I agree. Many times the comments come from different people, whether it is family, friend, doctors, coworkers, in the hopes of making me feel "better" about the situation. I don't think anyone means to intentionally poke fun at my infertility or make me feel sad, either on here on IRL. While I totally think that yes, we are responsible for our thoughts, emotions, and reactions, there is little we can do to change them. Feelings are natural, especially in such a sensitive area as TTC. So I guess what I'm saying is, no matter who says the comment, no matter what cycle I am on (2 or 10), no matter what the intentions are, you better believe I will still be ugly crying on the way home.

But please to enlighten me. What thongs should I be wearing so I don't feel the perma-wedgie?

I want to know this too.

For me it's about fit. If it's too tight or too loose, you'll feel it. Also certain types just end up in the crack for me. I think my butt is oblivious to it though...FFTC?

Hanky Panky.

I own a bunch of them.  I buy them mostly at Nordstrom Rack where they're cheaper.

Work-related unpopular opinion:

I don't think cell phones have to be the devil in the classroom. I can think of at least six different ways I can let kids use smartphones in the classroom in ways that help and enrich the learning process:

1. Metronome -- music
2. Tuner -- music
3. Recorder -- music, journalism, speech and debate
4. Graphing Calculator -- math classes, some science classes
5. Timer -- music, speech and debate, science classes (labs)
6. Camera -- yearbook, news, art

We had this whole slap on the wrist thing in our meeting yesterday where this was part of the conversation. It's time for our school to stop living in the technological dark ages and figure this shit out.

So many amens.  We finally got my principal and teachers in my school on board with "Bring Your Own Device" days.  The kids use their smartphones for answering quizzes, taking polls, creating videos to share their learning, etc.  There are even apps (like Nearpod) that will let you monitor what kids are doing on their devices on your own device.

Wait, when wearing a thong are people TRYING to keep it from going down their crack?! Lol wut?

[helloerrbody]

I only wear thongs. If I don't, I just am struggling all day to pull the underwear back where it belongs. I like the cotton ones from VS - not the Pink brand. Those are incredibly low-rise. No thanks.

[bunnyfungo]

You can't make me want to wear a thong. I feel naked when my butt skin is touching my pants lol

NOT a G-String.  Most people confuse a thong with a G-String.  These are my preferred style of thongs:



Also, make sure you are wearing the correct size.  Too small will feel like it's trying to migrate up your asshole and too big will cause too much shifting.

I had no idea I was so passionate about thongs.

+1.  I like the VS ones - they are usually cheaper than Hanky Panky, I think.

This is how I feel when people tell me they go commando. Ya no thanks. I need a barrier between me and my pants. Thongs are fine though cuz there's fabric in the important spots.

[piccyami]

I used to wear thongs. There was way too much arranging going on in the bathrooms.

Also, I agree with bunnyfungo, you can't make me wear a thong.

LOVE Boondock Saints.

YES.  They feel the same as hanky pankys and are cheaper.

Add me to the all thong, all the time bench.

Nope, I'm still going to be offended. I can't change how I react to people's offensive comments. 

When people make comments about how someone else should have a baby, or they want to be grandparents, or whatever, I find it to be selfish. They don't want a baby for you -- they want a baby for them. And I don't like that.

You definitely can. You can't control what they say, but you can control how you react and feel about it. Whether or not it digs at you, lingers with you, etc. You are always responsible for your own reactions.

I do agree with you that some people's motivations are selfishly driven, but I think sometimes people are saying, "I can't wait for you to share in this chapter of joy," but they say it poorly. The real take away is whether or not this person is normally a loving, kind, and generous person in your life. If they are, then cut them some slack for having a thoughtless moment or having a poor choice of words. And even better, if they're close enough that they're trying to be loving but don't know how, help them.

Well, you must be one very special snowflake, or I must be, because no, I'm going to get hurt or pissed off when people say things that hurt my feelings. It is not my fault when they say dickish things. 

At Christmas, someone got FIL a toy helicopter. His response? "Sure would be nice to have a grandson to play around with this." Fuck you, FIL. I didn't respond, no one did, I think everyone realized that saying that in front of H and me was incredibly awkward and HE was in the wrong, not me or H for finding it offensive.

But that's great that you're so understanding and special and shit. 

[cjchio]

Granny pants for lyfe. No bare ass for me thanks.

Wouldn't it be great if we could truly always have complete control over our reactions and emotions? If someone has somehow mastered that, LMK.

Exactly. I'm not a fucking robot, I can't rationalize someone else's behavior before my malcontent hits my face.

Cheeky panties FTW!

I want to watch them now. It's been a while so it's time! Hopefully they're on Netflix.

+1 - "underwear" all the way

[GoBigOrGoGnome]

Since we're on the subject of underwear, here is where I stand- I wear thongs with longer pants any other outfit that requires it. With shorts and some dresses I wear normal underwear (just in case a dress blows up and because shorts tend to go up my ass). I go commando in workout clothes because long distance running in underwear= chafing.

Exactly. I can't do it. Weirds me out.
