Can I just check that everyone puts their knickers on first?

Reading a novel, someone puts their bra on, then their knickers. This is so obviously wrong I'm not sure I can read any more. If they get this so wrong, then nothing in the novel is to be trusted! Nobody ever in the history of the universe has put on their bra before their knickers, surely?

I don’t put my knickers on first. Bra first. Usually.

User18394111 · 15/03/2026 19:50

Agreed!! It would just feel wrong. I need to get covered up down there asap.

Skippingads · 15/03/2026 19:50

Knickers first.

AWedgeOfLemonAndASmartAnswerForEverything · 15/03/2026 19:50

I agree OP. Was it written by a woman? Male writers are obsessed with tits.

Allmarbleslost · 15/03/2026 19:50

Definitely knickers first!

ChaChaChaChanges · 15/03/2026 19:51

I like to start at the top and work down.

What kind of monster puts their bra on first?

Doyouthinktheyknow · 15/03/2026 19:51

Knickers first, you’re right! Anything else feels wrong!

Lovelynames123 · 15/03/2026 19:51

Knickers first, every time

Alaap · 15/03/2026 19:51

Bra, tshirt, underwear, trousers, in that order for me.

BookOfBritishBirds · 15/03/2026 19:51

Socks first if it is chilly

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 15/03/2026 19:51

Bra first always

OrdinaryMoment · 15/03/2026 19:52

Always knickers first. Bra first is just weird and wrong.

Yes, this

BatshitIsTheOnlyExplanation · 15/03/2026 19:53

I put bra on first, but only because I put Estragel on all arms and legs and it's easier to get a bra on while it's drying than knickers. TMI, and not an appealing thought. Sorry. When I was younger and lovelier, I would have put on an attractive pair of knickers first.

MrsKateColumbo · 15/03/2026 19:53

Sometimes pants, sometimes bra - no specific order

itsgettingweird · 15/03/2026 19:53

I’d I’m naked - knickers first.

But if I’m in PJs then I’ll often do bra and then deodorant and top half before doing bottom half - especially if it’s cold!

Tigerbalmshark · 15/03/2026 19:53

Depends. If I am drying off after a shower or swim, it is easier to dry my top half then wrap a towel round my waist while I put deodorant/moisturiser on. So bra first.

If I am getting changed or just got out of bed, probably knickers first. I don’t have strong views in that situation.

caringcarer · 15/03/2026 19:53

Brad first then top, followed by knickers.

BelleEpoque27 · 15/03/2026 19:53

Yes, of course.

However, my partner puts his socks on first. WTF?! Deeply, deeply weird.

hazelberry · 15/03/2026 19:53

Knickers need to be on first in case there's a sudden emergency and I have to escape. I'd rather be braless than knickerless

Me

FancyCatSlave · 15/03/2026 19:53

Definitely pants first. But my DD starts with socks (she is 6) and works up.

Mumsntfan1 · 15/03/2026 19:53

Knickers first of course!

03cg73 · 15/03/2026 19:54

Knickers first. Every single time. I can’t imagine doing it the other way round
