This is piggybacking on the 'do/would you wear a thong' question...
I am a classic pear (or maybe hourglass? since my chest is proportionate to my bum?), although I have to say that with the little bit of weight I put on in the last year or so, my middle is evening out with the rest of me - lol. On the bottom, I'm about a size 14... just for reference... Anyhow, I have lots of different undies, and I know it's totally a personal preference thing, but I'm wondering what other bigger-bottomed ladies prefer and why.
I am also curious for those bigger-bottomed ladies who regularly wear thongs... do you feel a little self-conscious about having so much of your bum exposed? I mean, my bum isn't all that attactive, with the extra junk and all... LOL I don't dislike thongs, and I do like the no panty line thing, but I do dislike how the smaller sides kind of want to settle into a crease (even if they are not really too tight, so to speak), and I am a little self conscious about the amount of bum sticking out (speaking about private moments ;)...
On a slightly more personal note, my guy likes thongs, and I have a ton of lacy and otherwise kind of sexy ones, but I am hesitant to wear them because of the size of my bum... now, I do get the fact that he does see me naked, so he sees the bum regardless, but I just feel like the thongs highlight how much bum I have...
So ladies with bigger bottoms, how do you feel about thongs?
Any brand or type recommendations for a great look and fit?
Grandma T, it does seem that way, doesn't it? LOL Truly, I'm just trying to get more confidence with so much booty sticking out of a thong!!! You always crack me up. No, that wasn't a butt-crack joke, either!!
Theresa N, I went off about bras last week - LOL!!!!

You are just trying to find out how many of us have big booties huh? lol
I have a round, quite soft butt. My butt eats regular panties and bathing suits as well. I wore thongs for a zillion years, but now I never wear underwear unless I have to, and there arent many occasions for that in my life these days. I used to wear granny panties when I had to put a menstrual pad in them for night time.
If your man loves you and your ASSets, he wont mind the thong packaging. Bikini panties leave a little more to the imagination tho, some men like those better.

I have always had a rather sizeable butt, even when i was too skinny,, since every man ive ever dated has liked it, im not self conscience about it. even now. I have all types of undies, i like the thongs and almost thongs when i wear things you will be able to see panty lines in, and i wear breifs with nightgowns, skirts and dresses. The occasional boy short slips in but this is rare, because they ride up on our big fannies.
It all depends on what your husband likes, if he likes your big butt like mine does (and most men do) id rock the thongs.

HAHAHA Grandma T!
Hi L., my, ahem, mature bottom, prefers 'boyfriend' cut goochies (as my mom calls them), low waisted too so they won't show. The very silky fabric feels really nice but makes my pants slide right off me (no hipbones holdin' up the breeches anymore, sigh), so I like plain nylon or cotton.
Will you be examining bras next week? Cause I got a few things to say about the girls too!
Have a great day!

I wear bikinis, but by the end of the day they all turn into thongs (and not very comnfortable or sexy ones at that).
My husband keeps telling me to go straight for the thong, but I question whether he is really considering my needs first or his.
Nice to know I'm not alone.

I also prefer nothing at all (unless I'm wearing shorts or a skirt).
If your hubby LIKES thongs, and he LIKES your bum... then the only other person to see you bum is you. So it's all on you. None of us can see your bum after all! :)
(And thongs make bums look smaller, speaking as an artist. It has to do with seeing a big swath of material stretched across it, or just the continuous line of skin. The more fabric, the bigger a bum *looks*. Imagine granny panties versus bikinis. WHICH actually makes your bum look bigger?)
Kudos GrammaT!

As far as your man... If he likes it... It's because he likes the 'apple-bottom'! Don't 'hide' it from the man!!!
During my regular day, I prefer to wear bikini briefs with elastic around the thighs. I've got the 'hourglass' figure too. I'm probably just a lot shorter than you are. : )
My hubby loves when I get the notion to wear the thongs!

LOL this post made me think of sir mix-a-lots "I like big butts" song. =)
I have a big butt, and my boyfriend likes it, and so do I (I am an hour glass). He likes that thongs and g-strings show it off more, and that it highlights just how much booty I have.
I do like a g-string over a thong and I don't feel it at all. My other favorite type of undies are stretchy booty shorts.
I honestly feel like you just have to try the brands to see which is the most comfortable for you. Be proud of those curves! =)
Just as an added note, I am a size 20, so I am a bit larger then you.

Just about the thong question. I am bigger than you and 7 1/2 months pregnant with my third. My butt is MUCH larger than the rest of me...damn. When I was a size 18 on top I was still a 24/26 on bottom.
If I wear a thong (and I only have ONE...so he knows what's up!) my husband goes wild. He loves the big butt. And while I may be a bit self conscious about it, he would ONLY have me in thongs if he could. Don't worry about if it highlights how much "bum" you have, your guy probably loves it!
