Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi ,I'm also in Toronto, and although I am now able to wear jeans, I was faced with your same dilemma.I found that anything cotton based (like Yoga pants) was comfortable. There are also some flared, "lounge wear" type pants at La Senza that I practically lived in. (They were REALLY flared at the bottom, went right over my shoes, and were almost "swishy" ... sorry, I wish I had a name for them but I don't).There are a type of jeans that come from Brazil that you could try. (I still wear them, they are my fave).They're called "moleton" jeans, and they're made of 96% cotton and 4% spandex.You can google them, there are a few companies (in the states) that sell them, and you can also find some on ebay. Hope that helps! Sincerely, Neely (in Toronto, Canada) the best kinds of pants to wear Hi everyone, First time poster here. I just got diagnosed with IC and VV and I'm starting out with trying all the "easy" and "natural" remedies first. One thing that kept coming up was to not wear jeans. In fact, a friend of mine who has a related problem stopped wearing pants altogether (skirts only) and this, and this alone she says, stopped her pain. One thing, though, I live in Toronto and it's far too cold to wear skirts of any kind right now so, my question is: --If you can't wear jeans (or tight jeans) does anyone recommend any really good fabrics or types of pants that help? Any suggestions are appreciated! - S Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 , I wear jeans with no problems. The reason is because my jeans are made from cotton. Everything that touches my vulva (that includes dresses and skirts, and even slips as well as the sheets and blankets on my bed) is 100% cotton. For my underwear they are white 100% cotton panties.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi , I don't know about jeans, but I know that within a week of not wearing underwear, 95-99% of my pain was gone. I only have contact pain and it just disappeared. I was cutting off the nerve that goes to the leg and genitals (most underwear is). You could just start with that. I also live in yoga and other exercise pants. I occasionally wear jeans but with work, I am wearing dress pants. in IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Bebe makes nice slacks, I get them a size too big and hem the legs and they are really comfy. Gap also makes nice cargos that fit fairly comfortably. Lindsey Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.
