Hi All,

I am just wondering what underwear you used during radiotherapy? I had 28 sessions of radiation, towards the end the only underwear that felt comfortable was my partners boxer shorts. I couldn't bare anything on my groin region, due to the burns the radiotherapy was causing.

Really would be interested to know, what worked well for you?

Thanks x

Hello Pinkshells

The chemo/radiotherapy caused diarrhoea and l was really concerned about being caught short, so wore Tena pants to and from the hospital. And then - not a stitch. Got into my nightdress when I got home and would lie splay-legged on bed relishing the relief for my poor skin. Took me a while to get back into knickers again!
