Simply stated… I took your advice. Bought 3 pairs. Love them silly. Thanks.

I have purchased about 12 pair of the Vanishing Edge panties! I LOVE them!
I am ready to clear out my drawer and make room for only Vanishing Edge panties. I will not have to search for a panty that doesn’t ride up again!!
I didn’t care for the bikini style, just seemed too skimpy on me. I was surprised how much I like the boyshort style. It is perfect for pants. I also have the high leg style and am pleased.
I wear a size 4 to size 6 clothing. Chico’s sizing 0 to .5. Just throwing this in to help anyone with their sizing questions.
I sized up to a medium in the Vanishing Edge, but I wonder if I could have worn the small?? I might try the small with my next online order. I hope they never quit making these!!!!!

That’s great! I love boyshorts, but you usually can’t wear them without having a panty line…I will have to check those out!

That’s terrific, Ana. Thanks for posting your experience. I have just replenished my undies and gone with all their boy shorts. These are the best knickers I have ever owned. I do not have the “rolling problem” that Antje was talking about. I hope that you don’t either!

I bought these on Angie’s recommendation and I think they’re great! I bought them in one of the “nude” colors in the bikini style, and I wore them today with a very thinly knit wrap dress and you couldn’t see any panty line. I was worried the rubber part would be uncomfortable, but it wasn’t at all. After the first minute or so, I didn’t even notice it any more and they really didn’t budge, so no embarrassing wedgie, either. I did have to buy one size larger than I wear other places, but they still fit wonderfully. I will definitely be investing in more of these.

That’s a shame, Antje. I’m sorry that they didn’t work out for you. Back to what I usually say : horses for courses! Hope that you find undies that you love soon.

I tried these and don’t like them, because that rubbery part rolls up when I pull up my pants. I also don’t like that you can only wash them on cold. I find them goofy and will stick with Jockey for now, returning 2 of the set of 3 to Soma.

I recently purchased some. (I’m in Chicago, and there’s a store in Water Tower Place). And while they do hold up the No VPL promise, I don’t love them. By the middle of the day, the rubber lining starts to stick to me uncomfortably. Not cool. I’ll keep the three pair I have, but I don’t think I’d buy more.

I bought them to wear under exercise pants for grad school in the fall (I’m going for acting, so there’s a lot of movement-based classwork). I was told they were great to exercise in, but I haven’t even tried it. If they stick uncomfortably from normal daily wear, there’s no way I’d want to work up a sweat in them.

Good point Carolyn. The trick is to wear undies that are close to the colour of your skin when you wear white or cream pants. This way nothing will show through. I don’t wear thongs and do not have the see through problem when I wear nude coloured boy shorts with white pants. If you’re dark skinned, you’ll need a darker pair of undies. Brown works well for very dark skins.

Let me know what the verdict is Ana, and no unsightly images on my side Lisa. Hope that they work as well for you as they did for me.
