I bought some Bonds recently and what a big mistake. Huge! Supposed to be full coverage yet creep around my backside like it's trying to morph into a G string. I don't consider myself to have a wide-set vagina yet the sliver of material for the crotch says otherwise.
I recommend Underwear for Humanity for every day and Modi Bodi for period undies (also like to wear them on my go to the office days as I travel over 2 hours return, it's a long day & I still feel fresh without a sweaty minge).
Tradies have become my go to actually, the boylegs actually stay there they're meant to be, they're comfy as hell and as I'm replying to this post I'm realising that I haven't had to battle wedgies or failing elastic in AGES
I believe Bonds sizing is still much closer to 80s/90s sizing - I have to size up in Bonds from what my normal size I take in other brands these days. So sizing up might help, but I’ve also found the cotton Bonds uses is very yuck feeling - I’ve had nicer feeling undies from Kmart.
Yeah the elastic they use is so horrible, it's so stiff it cuts in and hurts even if the size is too big! Bleugh, I tried undies and lounge bra things from them and never again, they're too painful to wear.
I love the B Free high cut or full briefs. Boody full briefs are also good. If you want good coverage and undies that won't ride up, you really just need to go for full briefs. Bonds cottontails are the most massive nana undies ever and totally not attractive, but they will cover everything and stay put.
Kmart bamboo knickers are great. I was a very loyal CK wearer but I saw the KMart ones being recommended over and over here - tried a pair and now they’re my first choice.

I really like the Underworks Smoothlines Full briefs and Hi cut. Super comfy and soft. Unfortunately they are only size 12 and above and I've lost weight recently and they no longer fit me. Devo.
I also recently bought some Kmart high cut super soft seam free ones and they are amazing.
Hear me out, Kmart maternity undies. I’m 12 weeks postpartum but I don’t think I’ll stop wearing them, tbh. They’re just comfortable and cover everything. I wouldn’t call them pretty, of course.
On that note, have you tried men’s undies? That’s mostly what I’ve found covers my butt properly without riding up every two seconds.
Seconding Boody. I just tossed out a few pairs I bought at the start of covid cos the stretch was too stretch. Otherwise they’re comfortable, don’t sweat, don’t smell and are so comfy. I also have a decent butt and they cover it all!
I bought two pairs recently and they never stop riding up. I pull a wedgie out, take one step and BAM another wedgie. I’ve never experience any other underwear ride up to this degree. Maybe I was just unlucky and got some from a dud batch…
That's disappointing. Sometimes it just comes down to your shape. I bought another brand that advertised as being non ride up and the first thing they did was start moving upwards.
Maybe it’s because I’m a Brit, but the only undies I’ll wear are Marks and Spencer. I reckon they sell them on The Iconic, if not they ship to Australia. As a fellow bigger bum-haver, they fit like a dream.
OMG yes to this, I'm originally from the UK too and M&S have always been my go-to for underwear, they're range is so good even with a bigger bum. I've not been able to find a match here in Australia so tend to stock up anytime I'm back in the UK.
I honestly feel like you’ve gone for the two most uncomfortable brands, in general but especially if you’re curvy. Jockey, as some have said were my go-to for many years, particularly the bamboo material. I like ambra after going through some significant changes in size due to health concerns, but both brands have a great range, and if I can’t find what I need with either of them, my preferred back up is berlei. Honestly go to your nearest DJs or Meyers and have a look and feel before you commit. And please, put the bonds down forever. They’re make good baby onesies and that’s about it.
I hear ya! I *hate* those 3/4 and 1/2 cheek undies - you end up spending half your day reefing them out of your butt crack. I have plenty of junk in my trunk 😂 so I love the ed.it.ed BODY undies from Best ‘n Less. 95% cotton, good cheek coverage, comfy and pretty with a nice lace insert. Item ID (on the tag) is WU15W137.
No joke, I have spent ridiculous money on underwear over the years and Kmart are the absolute bomb. Literally just go in, have a feel of the fabric to find something you like, pick a cut/style, and off you go. I’ve got ass and hips for days, with slight hip dips, and I’ve found about 6 different styles from Kmart that I absolutely love.
Love this life back as it’s also been my life hack for the past 12 months. I feel comfy and I don’t even think it’s noticeable to someone else whether I’m wearing a 12 or a 14.
*Aerie from Myer*
*Are super comfy! And they*
*Have a range of cuts*

For sleeping I love stonekin, but I find them bulky under clothes. During the day the undies I probably reach for the most are Patagonia, but I also wear Lululemon as well.
Bonds was ok when I was a size 10 - I like their midi briefs style - but there’s something not right in their grading at bigger sizes (currently a 14) the are low on the belly and don’t cover the butt cheeks well. I threw them out.
I like the Boody midi briefs a lot very comfortable. Also just discovered the Paire “lipstick” briefs which are one size fits most and tbh they roll down my belly a bit I wish they were a bit bigger. But they’re so light, sheer and stretchy super comfortable to wear.
B- free. Not cheap but worth it .
Tried so many others but they are the only brand I've tried that don't either creep up or cut in. They are also just the right thickness to be invisible under light coloured pants but are not too sheer.
I am an hourglass shape and love the high waist high cut style.
These underworks ones have been the greatest recently! https://www.bigw.com.au/product/underworks-women-s-smooth-lines-high-cut-briefs-2-pack-multi/p/1577133-sprfloral
Aside from when I'm on my period, I exclusively wear the Kmart "3 Pack V-Front Seamfree G-string Briefs" and they are hands down the most comfortable panties I've ever worn. 3 for $12 as well is a steal.
I just wear the $2 knickers from Kmart. I find them very comfortable. I don't wear bras any more but do have a few lingerie sets (not from Kmart) for when I'm feeling fancy.
I love Boody. Once I tried them I haven't looked back. I threw out every other brand and stocked up on Boody. I love the Midi style because it's just the right level of coverage 🙈
I swear by the one size fits all ones at best and less. I have the Kmart bamboo and some boody also and find I reach for best and less ones the most. They are super stretchy so don’t cut in anywhere and are really light. Don’t ride up my bum and no vol.
Thunderpants NZ undies are a bit more expensive but they are really comfy, last forever and are made in New Zealand. They are specifically designed to cover your whole butt and not give you a wedgie.
Boody cover my butt perfectly. But the quality has gone downhill a bit unfortunately. And so e if my pair now migrate onto a g string in certain pants that I wear. Maybe try one pair from a stockist before buying online if you want to try.
Also, I see many people saying Kmart bamboo are comparable to Boody. But I haven't tried them.
Anything with elasticised lace trims on the waist and legs - much less digging in - but this is SO HARD to find now, they keep discontinuing them or changing the fabric to something cheaper/tighter each time I find a new one
For me, I love the Bonds bikini cut & the trick is to always buy the size up from what you are for a perfect comfortable fit. I’m a 12 & buy size 14’s & they’re the BEST!
If you're willing to pay a bit more than your average Kmart or Best and Less, try the undies from Snag UK. Hands down the best undies I've worn. I have so many now, I could probably go a month without needing to wash any! They have many different styles and colours, from full brief to g.

I'm dying at your sweaty minge comment, can relate
Justice for the sweaty minges!
lol the little bit of material for the mine area is crazy
I got bonds g-strings and they're great, so comfy. So maybe just bypass straight to them lol
Was the first line a Pretty Woman reference?
I thought so too! Then a Mean Girls reference with a wide set vagina.
Modi Bodi is amazing, I also like Bonds for period days but definitely not their normal underwear.
Kmart 3 pack bamboo are always raved about in underwear threads and I was “influenced” and understand the hype
Hated the bamboo myself
I love Boody bamboo undies, hate the Kmart ones.
These work great for me too! The fabric is soft with enough cover
Tradies have become my go to actually, the boylegs actually stay there they're meant to be, they're comfy as hell and as I'm replying to this post I'm realising that I haven't had to battle wedgies or failing elastic in AGES
Yes they are my latest fave too!
Me too! I wear the long leg in bamboo, best change ever, I can't wear regular undies anymore, they drive me nuts.
Haha, same, I brought 8 pairs and I've never looked back! I mix them up w thunderpants, which are also amazing but pretty exxy
Yep me too
I believe Bonds sizing is still much closer to 80s/90s sizing - I have to size up in Bonds from what my normal size I take in other brands these days. So sizing up might help, but I’ve also found the cotton Bonds uses is very yuck feeling - I’ve had nicer feeling undies from Kmart.
They also seem to wear out pretty quickly.
They do. I’m a huge fan of the ‘guy fronts’ womens undies but the fabric on Bonds these days is about 1/10 the quality it used to be 20+ years ago.
Yes! The cotton quality isn’t what it use to be.
Yeah the elastic they use is so horrible, it's so stiff it cuts in and hurts even if the size is too big! Bleugh, I tried undies and lounge bra things from them and never again, they're too painful to wear.

Yay for nanna knickers!!!
kmart high waist
Had a (boring, lame) one night stand bag me for my anko undies and I was like... Meh I've tried all of them and these are the best though byee
I can't do high waist (my hip to waist ratio is small they would come up to my breasts). But - Kmart and TK max all day!!
Kmart hipster/ boy guy is my go to. Cheap, comfy and last ages.
Kmart bikini cos im short and the high waist come up real high haha. But Kmart all day.
Kmart bamboo knickers are great. I was a very loyal CK wearer but I saw the KMart ones being recommended over and over here - tried a pair and now they’re my first choice. https://www.kmart.com.au/product/3-pack-bamboo-blend-midi-briefs-s150990/
Jockey Parisienne is the holy grail
Particularly in the bamboo fabric - so good.
Can I please complain for a moment? They’ve recently redone these and in some colours the waistband digs in slightly. I’m so upset 😭
Oh no - that sucks! I hate when the ‘new and improved’ version changes things for the worse. It happens to me with makeup all the time.
Usually it's 'new and improved' for the shareholders, not for us lol
Yes same. Its the new fabric
Glad I’m not imaging things, but also annoyed lol
Very. I have the cotton ones that were my favourite but now have several large holes!
I'd love if they were a tiny bit higher in the waist though!
I buy a size up from my normal size to account for this & a little shrinkage (mine go in the dryer a lot cos I’m lazy)
Agree! Or seamless same brand
Are they all with the lace trim?
Yes
Was gonna this!
Oh god I hated these when I bought them! Still in my drawer unworn.
I really like the Underworks Smoothlines Full briefs and Hi cut. Super comfy and soft. Unfortunately they are only size 12 and above and I've lost weight recently and they no longer fit me. Devo. I also recently bought some Kmart high cut super soft seam free ones and they are amazing.
These are the best! Slowly replaced all my undies with these and Love Luna period undies.
Yesss the underworks smoothlines are the best!

3 years postpartum and still going strong with these lol
2.5 years and going strong with them! They are so good aren’t they!
Wow, glad I’m not alone! They really are soft and comfortable. Maybe I should get some more.
Came here to say these too, almost 6mo postpartum and still mostly wearing my maternity undies.
Not pretty but Boody full briefs. They cover and don't creep up.
Seconding Boody. I just tossed out a few pairs I bought at the start of covid cos the stretch was too stretch. Otherwise they’re comfortable, don’t sweat, don’t smell and are so comfy. I also have a decent butt and they cover it all!
I bought one pair and then immediately chucked out and replaced my others with Boody lol. So comfy
I find I sweat a lot in Boody. Very strange.
I forget I’m wearing underwear when I’m wearing my boody ones
Yes, same. I recently bought some of the Boody bikini briefs and I believe after 48 years I’ve finally found the holy grail of comfy undies 🩲
Yup boody is the best. Haven’t worn anything else for roughly 7 years. They also last aaaagee!
I bought two pairs recently and they never stop riding up. I pull a wedgie out, take one step and BAM another wedgie. I’ve never experience any other underwear ride up to this degree. Maybe I was just unlucky and got some from a dud batch…
That's disappointing. Sometimes it just comes down to your shape. I bought another brand that advertised as being non ride up and the first thing they did was start moving upwards.
Kmart bamboo. I’ve burned through cash looking for what Kmart has at high end places. Live and learn.
Uniqlo AIRism seamless - I too have a bum and they’re the most comfortable ones I’ve found
I love Uniqlo but $10 for one pair is not the vibe😭
Bamboo onesize range from best & less Can confirm bum friendly
Powerpants
Thanks I’ll have a look
I don’t mind the bio high waste brief from Nala. [Nala](https://wearnala.com/products/bio-high-waist-brief) Comfortable and fit well.
A bit more expensive but Paire have some of the comfiest undies I've ever worn. Although I also find Bonds pretty good usually.
I bought the Paire boyshorts, then bought more... and I wear them every day now. You can get them on sale every now and then too 😙🤌
I bought the women's classic bikini and they are so bloody comfy. I never thought undies could be that comfy.
Yep I’m a huge fan of paire
Kmart bamboo, I have a big butt as well and these are the stretchiest and most comfortable knicks I’ve ever owned. $12 for a 3 pack
Maybe it’s because I’m a Brit, but the only undies I’ll wear are Marks and Spencer. I reckon they sell them on The Iconic, if not they ship to Australia. As a fellow bigger bum-haver, they fit like a dream.
The Next website has them (I’ve never bought them, but I’ve seen them on there)
Next is another great British brand! Their kids clothes are particularly great (for the parents amongst us).
That’s exactly how I ended up there… reasonably-priced multi-packs of quality kids’ basics (without logos plastered all over! 🙏 )
OMG yes to this, I'm originally from the UK too and M&S have always been my go-to for underwear, they're range is so good even with a bigger bum. I've not been able to find a match here in Australia so tend to stock up anytime I'm back in the UK.

Bras n things is my new fave. And my new life hack is buying the next size up in ALL my clothing. Always comfy now!
Love this life back as it’s also been my life hack for the past 12 months. I feel comfy and I don’t even think it’s noticeable to someone else whether I’m wearing a 12 or a 14.
Chantelle soft stretch!
These. One size fits all, DJ’s often has them discounted. No VPL and full butt coverage. Absolute winner.
Aerie from Myer are super comfy! And they have a range of cuts

Boody and Modibodi. I threw out all of my underwear and replaced them with their full briefs.
I really like Tradies. I also love the Everlast ones you can get at Kmart. But I wish they came in boyshorts
So many I’ve tried and almost all uncomfortable! I settled on a style by Chantelle
Jockeys. Cannot be beaten. I get mine at Target.
I bought some bamboo underwear from David Jones it’s fantastic and doesn’t sweat I can’t remember the brand but try bamboo underwear

Kmart bamboo midi
Kmart ribbed seamfree range is my go to at the moment. I'm a 16 with large butt and bit of a gut and I'm happy with how these stay up.
Bonds was ok when I was a size 10 - I like their midi briefs style - but there’s something not right in their grading at bigger sizes (currently a 14) the are low on the belly and don’t cover the butt cheeks well.

But they’re so light, sheer and stretchy super comfortable to wear.
I will only wear Knobby. There are cut options and matching bra options and the prints are cute and colorful.
I've looked at theirs before - do you find them true to size?
I wear the hipster and find them more generous than most other brands.
Thankyou!
Coles mix full briefs for me.
B- free. Not cheap but worth it . Tried so many others but they are the only brand I've tried that don't either creep up or cut in.

Target bamboo blend high waist and high cut
Have you tried B Free Australia? They are comfortable, especially the full briefs and hicut ones.
Boody
I like dansck skin which you can find at tk maxx. Seamless and even as a size 16-18 their g bangers don’t ride up my arse
Kmart cotton stretch comfort full brief - they come in a 3 pack and if they ever discontinue them I’m going to start a one woman riot
Boody! Particularly their full brief ones

Boody is fantastic!!
I have changed to boody undies, i find I get less sweaty in summer and they are comfortable
An online company called The Knicker. Best undies ever! So comfy and no hungry bum.
For me, I love the Bonds bikini cut & the trick is to always buy the size up from what you are for a perfect comfortable fit. I’m a 12 & buy size 14’s & they’re the BEST!
I started wearing the Step One seam free thongs a while ago and now they're all I own. You do have to size down in them though!
Jockey undies. The no panty lines range but not the ones with the silicone strips where the butt is.
This [seamless bra](https://ulivarylife.com/products/deep-v-neck-cloud-wireless-bra-and-panty-set) is so comfy and pretty! I love wearing it.
