I'll try the mens underwear; I have a drawer full of panties I can't wear, and keep trying to find some I can use. The most comfortable garment I have is a soft, cotton knit pair of lounge pants, very full in the legs and crotch . I am trying to find more of this style. The problem is newer ones, unlike this old pair, have big, lumpy seams, uncomforable because of the sharp, scratchy thread and are too tight. I can't wear tight fitting anything. Am trying to find skirts that aren't too short or youthful . Does the druggist determine the formula for the compounded lidocaine or the dermatologist? Can you use it daily, long term ? I looked at OTC 4% lidocaine product and the directions said not to use on irritated or swollen skin so I didn't get it. But I need to find something for this constant discomfort. I agree about need for research and more effective solutions. I refer to rxlist.com on the pros and cons of drugs; too often the negatives push me into a limbo stage of doing nothing, which is very not good.
