Do you regularly wear matching bra & knickers?

I have plain black thongs and black bras. Not part of sets but you can't really tell.

Just wondered what everyone else does.

Would wearing a nice matching set help make me feel sexy again ?

I don’t even OWN anything matching. Oh maybe I’ve got a couple of pairs of black knickers.

RollerSkateLikePeggy · 26/01/2025 22:41

No. I used to, but I only really wear cotton knickers now, and I find it impossible to find matching bra and knicker sets like that. I can wear the M& S Rosie silk ones, but the bras don't seem to fit me very well now.

Nope

Pretty much never.

BitOutOfPractice · 26/01/2025 22:43

Always. I’d genuinely feel odd not to. I can’t say that my underwear choices are sexy though.

stayathomer · 26/01/2025 22:43

They don’t match, but they look like they do, black underwear and black bra! Very handy! Also have a pink bra and bought a packet of pink underwear!

BlondeMamaToBe · 26/01/2025 22:43

I always match colours.

Itsaswelltime · 26/01/2025 22:46

Yes, it just makes sense in my head, like wearing a pair of matching socks. Even for running and sport, I have sports bras and sports knickers (I find the Love Pink ones from Victoria’s Secret so comfortable.)

At the moment it is super easy as I had an operation and can only wear a handful of bras.

Pigeonqueen · 26/01/2025 22:46

When I was younger, maybe. When I could be bothered to even think about it. Now I’m mid 40s and I’m just in the stage of my life where I grab whatever comes out of the drawer. All my bras are the same non wired cotton comfort ones from Sainsbury’s, in black, grey or white and all my knickers are midis from M and S. Built for comfort!

Alliscalmallisnotbright · 26/01/2025 22:46

Just ordered a matching set from M&S. just took a notion when I saw the matching knickers. I needed a normal bra so I picked them out.
i generally wear sports bras though so I’m not sure how often I’ll be wearing them.

TokyoSushi · 26/01/2025 22:47

Not at all, I just wear multipack black knickers (I have about 20 pairs) and then the best bra for the top I'm wearing.

Puppydog83 · 26/01/2025 22:49

I don't have time in my life for this lol. As long as they are clean and fit that's as far as I go. Even when I do have matching sets I rarely wear them together.

But then I'm single and have no plans to change it anytime soon.

MrsJHernandez · 26/01/2025 22:49

I don't have a single matching set. I hate the selection of knickers they have with bras - I prefer bikini, and matching ones are always thongs, French, high waist or Brazilian.

Samandytimlucypeterolivia · 26/01/2025 22:49

I have matching colours 😂 not sets, no one’s seeing the, so I don’t care if they are matching…

SnidelyWhiplash · 26/01/2025 22:49

I do in as much as I nearly always wear black bras and black knickers. I have maybe 30 bras and 25 of them are black.

I wore a dark red bra and matching knickers to work the other day and felt quite glam!

Tailfeather · 26/01/2025 22:50

Always - just like I couldn't wear mismatching socks. I'll buy 5 pairs of marching knickers per bra. So might have 4 or 5 matching sets on the go, but always easy to find a clean pair of matching knickers.

LaPalmaLlama · 26/01/2025 22:51

I pretty much always wear black cotton bikinis and black t shirt bras or black sports bras so yes, but not it’s really not v racy 🤣

Theredjellybean · 26/01/2025 22:51

I do... everyday.
Always buy two knickers for every bra, so each bra can be worn for 2 days, or get the different styles of knickers that match the bra.
I'd feel odd without matching my lingerie but I love really nice lingerie...so I maybe a little obsessed

LaurieFairyCake · 26/01/2025 22:52

Every day

I only own one colour

RedRosesParmaViolets · 26/01/2025 22:52

Never, not since I was 18. Sorry to sound like a sour puss but I don't feel I need matching underwear to feel attractive

SharpOpalNewt · 26/01/2025 22:53

Mine vaguely match. I only wear TU comfort lace bras as I can order them online and know they will fit and be comfortable. More recently I only have them in black, beige and white, and have TU shorts in the same colours that have a lace trim at the top. I don't always wear the same colour bra and shorts but sometimes I do, but none of them are a horrible clash.

Giggorata · 26/01/2025 22:53

Yes mostly but by default, as nearly all my underwear is black.

LisaJohnsonsFacebookMole · 26/01/2025 22:53

I wear clean ones. I draw the line there.

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 26/01/2025 22:54

Literally never but I am super single and have 40l size boobs!

I hope to lose some weight and then buy nicer underwear

ANameForOscar · 26/01/2025 22:54

Not since my late teens.

Tbh, I can't remember seeing a matching set which has comfortable looking knickers. And knickers are all about the comfort!
