A question: (because I have very little fashion sense!)
how does one wear semi-low-rise pants without your undies showing?
I mean, the pants are comfortable and I love the way they feel but I am not wearing tiny panties and surely not going for a thong because why pay good money to give yourself a WEDGE ON PURPOSE?!!!!
what does one do?

big long shirt that covers your butt and sit in chairs with sold backs or against walls.
ummm, truthfully, I just don’t wear panties. i didn’t want to say that but it’s the truth.
Really enjoyed reading your questionaire!
I’d say no panties either, or if you are uncomfy with no pantie, little bikini panties. Very little.
wow! Yet another laugh/think/smile/think/laugh/think some more post from the wonderful juliepersons
Inspiring, mama, as always 
as for your question … the only people around here who even see me are the baby and the preschooler, and since both of them spend the majority of their time naked or wildly clashing in their attire
I don’t worry too much about a little undie show on my part. Go for comfort where you can get it, I say!
i think your underwear are supposed to show. hence the popularity of butt floss. (sorry, but those thong thingies just gross me out). so just make sure you’re wearing attractive striped or polka-dotted underwear and have at it, sister.
yucky thongs…hopefully they go out of style soon and people say, ohmigod, what were they thinking??? I’m all for comfort too…
Gorgeous caterpillars…we had one in the kids room yesterday which we ooed and ah’ed…think it came in with the laundry from the line…
Fold the undies over from the waistband. The band should keep them in place. LOVELY caterpillar!
Do you live near a American Eagle store? They sell the best low rise undies! Never peak out when you wear them, and they are comfy to boot!
well I like the sexy panties showing look!! lol. You ought to wear whatever you’re most comfy with. I love the caterpillar!!
I have some low rise and some high rise. But when I run out of low rise, I just wear the high rise and roll the waistband down. As long as it has a nice, thick waistband it works pretty well.
Fold em over! That is one beautiful caterpillar, I have never seen one quite as purdy as this one.
Love is always good!
Low rise = thong or go commando (EEK! That’s why I don’t wear low-rise). I think the long shirt idea might work, low-rise panties would be a good find too. Very lovely green creatures in the photos. I love your list, long, but all very interesting.
I just wear a long shirt.
I love your answers. You’re so thoughtful and warm.
I noticed that you gave up smoking the same year you burned your cornea. coincidence? or did you have a really painful reason to quit?
I buy lowrise panties and long shirts. And I wear belts with jeans to avoid the perfect-place-for-someone(mean)-to-throw-an-icecube problem.
um, you need lower-rise undies
I loved your answers to the quiz – I agree about the “text messages” – paper is good
oh, and your shirt sounds delicious!
i don’t wear low rise but if i did, i guess it wouldn’t be a problem because i don’t wear undies…shame, shame!
maybe some people like the wedge???
I hate low rise pants for that reason. I’m old fashioned in that one particular area i guess. undies are meant to be UNDER not showing =)
but i could carless if my bra straps show… I make no since.
low rise boy style are comfy,or squish the undies down so they don’t show if too lazy to look for the boy undies that are lost in the drawer somewhere!(I could never go without!)
Wear a long shirt, lol.
personally, i do wear the wedgie givers, except that i dont find they bother me much anymore.
other than that, don’t wear ‘em. its cheaper than buying new undies.

these are my ABSOLUTE favorite undies.
very similar to the hanky panky thongs at nordstrom, but WAY cheaper.
if your gonna go new, this is the way to go.

here are some non-butt floss ones.
Your last answer made me LOL. As for the pants and undies….commando is the way to go!
commando…
I think we are sisters…
I love the low rise and the secret is to wear a belt with them.
you have to get low rise skibbies, too
hehe looooow riiid-uh 
I have some low rise undies that work pretty well. I refuse to wear a thong. I also wear long shirts with my low rise jeans.
go without undies
I don’t know, I wear my low rise with my white cotton granny panties sticking right out the top and if anyone gives me any sass I whack ‘em in the head and then yank my panties up to my ears.
…or how about stickking on a pad for some extra comfort??? (-:
I loved your questionaire. We’d have made great college roomates……
IS Beautiful Cat and Beautiful Monarch the same transformed being?
your pictures are wonderful my dear…
low rise all cotton Hanes never peak out of my jeans. Cheap, too… I think I get six pairs in a pack for like five bucks…
smooch!
I refuse to wear thongs too – sooo uncomfortable. I really like the low rise bikinis from Victoria’s Secret.
Go commando.
I have a crush on you.
I have a list on my blog, too. Come see me. I miss you.
Your questionnaire was one of few that actually come out interesting. It’s always neat getting a peak inside someone’s life, though.
I like to wear low-rise boy short panties with low-rise pants. They don’t usually show because they don’t come high up on your stomach but they cover your whole butt up.
i luv thongs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They make low rise (or lower cut) undies that still have full coverage. I wear them. I don’t know what they would be called I guess bikini. I HATE thongs. All I know is they cover the tush and don’t show above my jeans which are low rise.
I hated the thongs at first. I got used to them. I couldn’t find undies that didnt’ eventually”ride up”, so why not use ones that they make to do it! I also wear belts or long shirts to cover up when wearing low rise pants. They do make pretty skimpy bikini low rises too!!!
i push my panties down as far as they can go. i don’t like thongs either. but i do own some. though they aren’t worn at all. boy was that a waist of money. i love the questionaire. i’m going to steal it and do it myself on my own xanga a little later. hope you don’t mind.
I like the ‘boy shorts’ undies… kind of low rise, but they have enough material so they stay in place and they don’t show.. plus the ones I got are a nice cotton, and they fit perfectly.. so there’s no undie bulge (or is it butt bulge from the undies digging in?)
Great questionaire! We are the same height. As for the undies. I love mine. They look really big, because the jersey is not as stretchable as typical undies and they really cover the whole butt, but are low rise. Hanes makes some nice ones too. The trick I’ve discovered to keep them from creepin’ up is to stick both your hands in the back of your panties with your pants pulled up (not fastened) and push them down around your curves. Takes care of pantylines too. Oh, and please, please (!) squat in front of a mirror to see if you show plumber’s crack. (Sorry, embarassing moment no. 897,… but who’s counting?)
Oh, and !WOW! on those photographs! Gorgeous! Um, were they really green?
no, I enhanced the pics, they were really yellow…
so, what happens if I do have plumbers crack? Is this a bad thing?
