6 days post THR - my top tip for how to avoid dig marks from knickers around swollen and bruised waist and legs. Don't wear them, wear men's boxer shorts instead. The have a looser and higher waist fit so don't dig in.they come in far more distinguished colours than cringe worthy ladies big pants.

    sounds like a good idea. Mainly I don't bother, but feel I need something when venturing out!!

    They have lovely soft and stretchy ladies knickers, called boxer shorts in BHS.  The ones I found are seemless and so soft.  They are great.  They also have similar ones in Tesco's.
