Underwear - white or coloured?

I used to have the idea that white was the best, for practical purposes. You can see the minutest spots in it and decide when it is actually clean, while the coloured ones give you a false idea of cleanliness. With the white ones, you can also decide when you need to discard them from their appearance. But quite recently, I had trouble finding my favourite white ones from the usual store. They are not in stock there, as the place is infested with the trendy, coloured ones in display! I had to compromise, and ended up buying a few coloured ones. I am getting used to the idea, and it seems okay, as long as they are light colours. What are your preferences, and anyone who likes white ones have difficulty getting them in your locality?

I never wear white underwear. It is always coloured, not because of special preference. Mostly, the underwears sold commonly in the shops are coloured ones. This thing about whether it is time to wash an underwear depending on its state of cleanliness is not an issue for me, because I change and wash my underwear everyday without fail.

I was them everyday as well, but what I said was that when we use white ones, we can detect even the minutest stains and keep them really clean, while it would be difficult to spot the stains in coloured ones. And we can also decide when to discard them if there remains more stains that refude to go.

Coloured every time for me, I hate white underwear, I usually wear mauve matching, I think white is very bland and old fashioned and for some reason I like to wear black when I am wearing dark colours usually in winter as I am a pastle shade person...

I really do not have strong preferences, although white a beige are better if you are wearing white or light colored pants or skirts. We have an abundance of everything in the United States, many manufacturers, many styles, many choices. Often it seems like it is just too much.

To be honest I don't like white underwear. I like colored ones. But I always make sure it is clean. I wear my underwear once and immediately wash it afterwards, so there is no issue of dirtyness or something. But yeah, I've noticed that it is difficult to spot white underwear nowadays. I can only find them in little stores which sell school uniforms. Maybe you can check at those type of stores. I hope this helps. Have a nice day!

Personally I hate white underwear and always buy coloured stuff! I dont know why I dislike white underwear so much but I always have. I remember when I was in hospital once my mum had bought me in some new Pjs and undies and the undies where white, I said thank you and was greatful but I have never used those undies again! I am very picky about the style of my underwear aswell and luckily for me the ones I buy are always readily avaliable!

I used to always wear white. I was picking some up one day, and like you, found they were out of white. I picked up a package of colored. It really doesn't matter to me what color they are since no one really sees them but me. My husband doesn't really care, either, that or he just hasn't said one way or the other. lol

Mine are different colors mostly of black, beige and purple shade. I have white but I rarely wear them. My husband uses white undies, he doesn't want to use colored ones unless he has no more spare to use. I have to soak them in powder soap for 30 minutes and hand wash them. It's true it's hard to find now white colored undies so that's why I buy by bulk whenever I spot on them.
