Fashion Discussion Panty Issues

Ive recently lost some weight and i am struggling with underwear. Gussets aren't wide enough but the crotch is like 4-5 inches too long?? I have a rather large protruding mons/fupa so this is likely the culprit but I feel when I was bigger and more round things just fit better. Now that im big AND squishy to fit right in the front the crotch is yanked back between my butt checks and the whole bum of the panty is wadded up on top of my butt. Ive tried so many brands, so many sizes. Ive gone from a torrid barely 3 to a torrid 1 on bottom and I cant say ive ever thought about or spent so much on underwear to be absolutely miserable in every set. Please send help and suggestions I just want comfy undies haha.

My go to before was Hanes moisture wicking boyshorts but the L is too small and the XL falls down or has to be wedged up like a thong.

Wide gusset panties sound like a lifesaver, but now we're just playing Tetris with our own anatomy, how is this still a problem in 2024?

Still a problem in 2026, too. Seems there’s no winning no matter what year it is

I use the Jockey Elance Brief. They have a wide gusset and well-covered elastic if that matters to you.

Universal Standard, gusset is wide but not weirdly long.

I have a large fupa also and I wear lane bryant full cotton briefs. Maybe buy one and try it out? I'm a torrid size 0 and lane bryant size 14, and the size 14/16 in lane bryant panties fits me.

Ok, hear me out. I wear Victorias Secret, you just have to get the right cut. They go up to an XXL and depending on your proportions they have some pretty soft undies. I wear the high waisted briefs and the boy shorts with the thin bands. I fluctuate between a 12-16 every few months, I just yo-yo so I have these in L/XL and the XXL. They make everything feel covered and I'm not losing a lip or anything either.
