Your inner wear

No one looks at our inner wear and so do we get tempted to make allowances such as not bothering to see that the two pieces match, that they fit us well, there are no pins to hold them in place, they are not torn and last but not the least they are clean. Did you also know that cotton is the only material that passes the test for inner wear? Did you also know that they can be worn just so many times and then discarded even if they are in good condition. Do you make compromises on any of the points mentioned here just because no one is looking? Let's discuss.

I am a weird collector of underwear. I buy when I see something real pretty. I don't know why I just enjoy buying them. My son would often ask me why do I have to buy something as pretty as such when nobody else could actually see it? That's true, but I know that we, girls just love having those lovely things. I seldom match what I wear. I am not so choosy anyway. And as my son would say, "nobody would see them anyway". I do wear an inner wear that is slightly torn. But when it gets big, it's bye bye time.

Its a good thing that you love having the best inner wear. Why not way. It is not always that we would have admirers to even appreciate what we wear on the outside but yet atleast I try to groom as best as I can. I have a problem with my inner wear in that the elastic gives way although the stuff looks perfect. I have to discard them most unwillingly. Here in India we have that problem. I like your honestly about admitting that you sometimes wear torn inner wear! Hopefully there will be no pins I hope to held them up!

Hahahah! Oh no! No pins, of course! I'd let the trash bin have my inner wear if i would need those pins to hold it in place!

Hi! I do not make any compromise as far as wearing inner-wear is concerned. Inner wear are needed to be in perfect and in acceptable condition for me. If they are torn or have disfigured or loose, I immediately discard them. I feel I need to wear comfortable inner wear even if no one is going to see them. If inner wear fit well then our clothes will also fit well and will look good. Though cotton is getting expensive day by day, yet we do not have any other option but to buy inner ware made of best quality cotton. Good post.

i am quite picky when it comes to my undies.. i do not like those lacy panties tho that much as they are honestly uncomfortable. When i pick inner wear i make it a point i am comfortable and also something that i'll love..i pick those materials that my body would agree...and that is the same with my bra, quite picky too. It must be the right comfort as well. I stop using ones when i feel it is getting uncomfortable, sometimes the garter gets loose like that of the bra, thats when i stop using it..as it won't support much too. There are times that i don't bother matching up and down lol but if i feel like i need a boost of extra confidence or just so i feel great and sexy i wear those sexy ones that match hahaha

If they are not comfortable then they are not good ones! They may look stylish but if you are not comfortable then what's the point?

No marks for any one here on one account and that is no one matches them and that includes me for the simple reason many a time they are not available as a set. That settles it. Chapter closed! Have you noticed that when you take the trouble to see that whatever is underneath fits you well and you are comfortable you get that well dressed feeling? Here in India too we have the problem of elastic giving in and I have to reluctantly consign them to the dust bin. But I think what one gets in the US/UK is really good quality. I remember owning something from Marks & Spencers You said it. It gives one extra confidence!

allknowing Even if no one sees what you are wearing..doesn't a cute matching set make most people feel better?? Why do you say they can just be worn so many times?? I am not sure I am following you on that point..of course when ripped, they are to be discarded, but otherwise..seems they would last awhile... Good reason to be careful...lol... remember the advice many mothers give....wear nice underwear in case you are in an accident...

I never thought of that. One never knows what if one is in an accident!Good one! That is the advice one gets about not keeping those inner clothes for protracted periods even if they are in good condition. Perhaps with time they may not be able to breathe the way they do when they are new?

My mother said the same thing...make sure your underwear is clean in case you get in an accident. Too funny.

I think just about everyone is tempted to make allowances regarding their underwear. I rarely wear a matching set, although sometimes if I wear a black bra I'll wear a pair of black panties, same for white etc although they were not purchased as a matching set. Sometimes they don't match at all but who cares as long as they're clean right? Young people now don't even wear socks that match, and they can be seen so what the heck. I never wear anything that is torn or held together with pins. I do agree that when I DO wear matching under garments I FEEL pretty. I FEEL sexy (depending on the style). I FEEL good about myself. Now, I ask you, do you match up your under wear only in colour or in style as well? Lacy black panties with a lacy black bra, sports bra with similar panties, thongs with sexy bra?

Please read my comments in Box No. 9. That chapter about matching is closed! One thing I am fully convinced and that is if we do wear something that makes us comfortable, that which is not torn, that which does not need pins to hold it in place, and that which is clean our day is done. We can walk with a spring in our step!

I agree that cotton is the best to wear for it is healthier. Lovely underwear makes a woman feel good - even if the colors does not match... haha. Throw away before the elastic goes, or else you might find yourself in an embarrassing situation when shopping... haha! A big NO-NO for any pins ladies! What if the pin breaks and hurt you where you least expect it???

Not matching is allowed. Go ahead! Has it happened to you in a shopping mall? Do share.

It does not matter about underwear as long as you change regularly.Cotton is the best as with nylon i find it very uncomfortable especially if it gets hot.Cotton washes well and does not seem to wear out.If I go out in the evening I like to wear my good stuff that matches ,no one sees it but it makes me feel more dressed up

Even if no one sees it you go for something nice and matching when you go out. That is exactly the point here. One never realises it but believe it or not the thought that you have something in there does make a difference! Yes Cotton should be every one's choice and therefore wonder why at all other fabrics are used which do not breathe!

I wear the one I am comfortable with and with one brand that made me feel so sexy (even if I am not)

No one realises it but the feel good factor comes from within whether anyone sees it or not.One should dress up first to feel oneself and then others. Obviously the inner wear can only satisfy the wearer and no one else and so one should really spend some time and take into account all the issues I have outlined in my topic.

Of course you under wears are concealed and I wouldn't mind if it looks good on me or not, unless I were that sexy lady having to show off. In fact, nobody would know that I am wearing any if I wouldn't tell them.

Most of the time I look in the mirror and satisfy myself that I look good for the day and there are days I don't meet any one. If we keep ourselves as the admirer we tend to take more trouble in grooming ourselves. And therefore I feel even the inner wear though no one but ourselves would be seeing it going in for something that would look good on us would make our day. This is my thinking.

I always buy cotton since I have allergies. Also cotton is "breathing" and won't give you pickels etc everywhere, plus it's better to clean as all those chemical made ones. I don't care about what anyone else says about my underwear. What is important is that it feels good to me and it's practical. I care less if the 2 pieces match since that is less important to me as fitting well.

Even I don't worry about the matching part When cotton is so healthy I wonder why there is stuff made from nylon and such artificial fibers!

of course since its inner wear,i dont bother at times about matching much,as long as its clean and a good fit unless,we have planned for a special date with my husband or our special moments.otherwise at times you find you even wear inner wear with a small tear because you are sure no one is looking.

OK I will pardon you for not matching. I too don't But I have come to realise that if there is one person who I would like to please first whatever be it and that is me and that includes my inner wear too. So I take care to see that my inner wear pleases me. It gives me that satisfaction that I am well dressed!
