Big girl pants!

So winter is coming and it's dark and threats of rain and worse to come and it aint so nice and you don't always want to turn out in it then this morning I read another post where a member had been struggling but had pulled on her "big girl pants" and gone out and had a fantastic run

I realised that I have seen many posts similar where folk have been having a hard time of it and yet they too have pulled on their big girl pants and gone on to run pbs etc and it got me thinking

So I've trawled through hundreds of posts and can't find any mention of big boys pants ( it would appear they don't exist) but found more and more regarding the almost miraculous "Big Girl Pants" and the incredible achievements of ladies wearing these miraculous garments.

So my question is ladies are they truly gender specific or would they help me in my hour of need and if so where oh where would I get a pair of this miraculous garment

big-boy pants

"A euphemism for being old or mature enough to do something as an adult man or as an adult man should.

E.g. I know you're not a morning person, but put on your big-boy pants and go to work.

"

Now... where you would buy these I am not sure.... :)

You’ve been searching for the wrong garments. Try Big Boys’ Boxers, or (if streamlined is more your thang) Big Boys’ Budgie-Smugglers! 😉 I believe they have the same overall effect as Big Girls’ Pants... Good luck. May the Blessed Gusset of Determination keep you going!

Oh no don't mention thangs.....oh sorry misheard you :)

How about big girl pants that turn round & become big boy pants? Then we could all share??!! I don’t mind sharing...as long as they don’t get holes in through wear & tear...don’t fancy a draught round my nether regions!!! 🌪

Ha ha, that’s brilliant!! Maybe we should call them ‘Big gender neutral pants’. Whatever they’re called, I think you should invest in some!! Gotta be worth a try or maybe even a laugh or two 🤣🤣🤣

I would get arrested if they could catch me. 🤣

Big girls pants are one of the famous antidotes to 'stupid tart syndrome', which you've also told me you suffer from.

There are many medical sites on t'interweb which I am sure can help, just look for 'embarrassing conditions and their cures' and I am sure that the pants can be shipped, together with the famous miracle herbal tea that makes one lose weight just by looking at it.

Failing that you can get them from me at my charitable web site, by making a suitably handsome donation to my pension fund:-

My husband’s got some 😃. How come a man gets smaller as he gets older but his underpants get bigger? 🤔
