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 ?

30 bras! I only ever have about five.

RosesAndHellebores · 26/01/2025 22:56

Yes. Every day.

unsync · 26/01/2025 22:57

Vaguely in the same colourway possibly. The only matching undies I have are my thermal leggings and long sleeved vests, do they count?

Interested in this thread?

pretty much always.
I buy my sets as Bra; matching Brazilian plus a matching thong. So bra and Brazilian daily, bra and thong for special occasions 😂

matching comfy bralette and briefs for periods or off-days feeling under the weather.

I do own a ton of non-matching undies though, mostly for tanning, or days when I’m not going to bother putting any form of bra on.. or as placeholders under my pyjamas while im
getting ready for an occasion 😂

Colour match 99% of the time

Official matching sets on special occasions, they usually also colour match the outfit. Always comfortable though.

If I want my partner to notice the matching set, I need to point it out 😂 matching lingerie matters even less to him

I used to try... but gave up.

Disturbia81 · 26/01/2025 23:00

No never, don't see the need!

WarmthAndDepth · 26/01/2025 23:00

Literally never.

kiana2015 · 26/01/2025 23:02

Never

chargeitup · 26/01/2025 23:05

I try to wear the same colour but I wear underwear that my clothes need. So if I'm wearing something tight below I will wear some sort of no VPL pants. But up top I may be wearing a pale top that requires a nude bra with a racer back.

Doechii · 26/01/2025 23:06

Never

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.

But what if you need pants that are cut a certain way to avoid VPL but then a bra with a racer back cut ?

rumkar · 26/01/2025 23:06

Not really. Mostly not matching.

3678194b · 26/01/2025 23:09

Sometimes, depends what I'm wearing! Different colour top and bottoms often need different coloured underwear!

Iamoldandwearpurple · 26/01/2025 23:12

I think myself lucky if there aren't holes in my knickers...I dont have time to worry about matching sets!

SwordToFlamethrower · 26/01/2025 23:14

Never have and probably never will. Price of matching knickers though!!!

fanaticalfairy · 26/01/2025 23:14

Nah - just whatever comes out of the drawer!

Userengage · 26/01/2025 23:18

Yes, always buy a bra and two pairs of matching knickers, usually Brazilian. If I don’t like the available matching knickers I won’t buy the set, Have done since I started buying my own lingerie and whether single or not.

DazedAndConfused321 · 26/01/2025 23:19

Every day. I have 5 young children and need to have some things that make me feel good as a woman, not just as a mum. My confidence sky rocketed when I started consistently wearing nice clothes, makeup every day, and matching underwear. It's the little things.

Also, underwear needs to match your outerwear, too. A worn out old bra or the wrong shape pants can ruin a lovely outfit.

Thisisthemomentforchange · 26/01/2025 23:21

I nearly always wear black underwear .
I have a couple of white bras and pants for if I'm wearing a white top. But I much prefer the black underwear..

@SwordToFlamethrower

IKR! £15-20 for one pair of knickers that never come in flattering cuts? No thanks!

Maddy70 · 26/01/2025 23:25

Yes because I only wear black or nude

Growlybear83 · 26/01/2025 23:25

I always wear matching bras and knickers. I wouldn't feel right if I wasn't matched!

caringcarer · 26/01/2025 23:26

I buy black, nude and white bras with a little lace on the front then buy black, nude and white knickers with lace at the front. They are not matching sets but they look like they are. I have one matching set in a raspberry pink but I generally wear it if I'm going out in the evening. I don't wear it in the daytime.

poemsandwine · 26/01/2025 23:31

Yes. But I always wear black or white.
