Under garments.

Yes I can understand wearing one for support if a girl was really big but I find not wearing one much more comfortable. Although I do sometimes get looks of disapproval from other women for not wearing one. I am not supposed to be bothered by that though as I try very hard not to bother about what other people think. Still there are times when my mother's attitudes still sneak in. They were that women who did not wear bras or undies were wh*res. She made this sound like it was the most evil sort of thing a woman could be and it took me a long time to break it.

I absolutely HATE wearing bras. I'm sure they are invented by men. They are uncomfortable, and in the summer, they are hot! But, like someone else mentioned, certain people seem to disapprove of girls not wearing them. Some people in my church group used to give me a hard time about it.They were afraid it would cause the young men to "lust". Whatever. Now I only wear them when I really have to, like a shirt is tight or thin.

You are absolutely right grandpa_lash, if people in Western countries, who live in cold weather conditions are feeling uncomfortable wearing it, just imagine, wearing it is places like south India, where there is no such thing as winter. As for the panties, the maximum woman in India wear a saree or salwar kameez (which is something like a tight pant), so even if they fall down, nothing is lost.

Thanks for the response sandhya, but I agree with DJ_SLONE, that undergarments never came in the way of work. Basically it was in cold countries in Europe, that the wearing of undergarments came into vogue, as a means of keeping warm. But in a hot country like India, the undergarments are not going make much difference. Cheers.

Although I agree with you, I don't think under garments ever came in the way of concentrating on my daily life and work lol

p1kef1sh, now I am pretty confused, according to your profile page, you are a male from U.K., and I presume that you are talking about the undies.

Correct on all counts. I am a happy heterosexual, but I get carried away at times!

Udit, the article was not a survey, but a news from the entertainment section of the famous newspaper,The Times of India. Get real, I think you have not gone out of Bhuveneswar, go into the interiors of India, there you will see the people who have not even heard of the undergarments. There are a couple of places in South India, where even now, the woman do not wear blouses and they cover the upper part of the body with the pallav of the saree. Cheers.

Nowadays jeans come in many materials, and I have heard that some designer has designed jeans in silk, so if it is going to be silk, just think of the cool silk on you without the undies.Hmmm

Good for you zahirahana, it is the comfort of the induviduals which are more important than what the society thinks of us. Cheers

You win your bet, but it is not only the people who wear saris, but also the people who wear salwar kamiz also do not wear them. Since this dress itself gives them enough protection.
