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?

Yes, me too! I'm trying to think what I do and for the life of me I can't think. If I've left my bra in the bathroom I put it in after my morning shower but if not I can't think what I do otherwise. I'll report back!

After my shower, wrapped in a towel, I got my clothes that I had got ready yesterday and I can confirm that I put my knickers on first today.

If you can put your knickers over your knockers, you might want to put your bra on first to hoist them up 😁😉

Where's the laughing one when it's most needed!!

@JoeyJava, I asked for your order, interesting
and dare I say it, amusing. Why feeling broken?

There is a level light heartedness about this thread, MN at its best.

And @Linenspots ”knickers over knockers”, nothing more to be said. Did you make that up?

I think so, it just sort of flowed off the tongue!

I also learned recently that there are people who DON'T have a side of the bed they just mix it up. Who the hell does that?!!

WHAT???

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!

Bra first. I think it depends on which part of your body you feel needs concealing. I hate my boobs. So. Bra first.

wishingonastar101 · 16/03/2026 17:58

Sometimes I sleep in a bra but no bottoms... in the winter bra and socks.

Brad first then top, followed by knickers.

Who’s Brad? I’d like to put him on first! 😂

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.

Do people not wear knickers going to bed ?
I shower every morning but I always leave my knickers on going to bed .

Never knickers in bed, unless l’m on a heavy period.

I knew this post was going to elicit some hilarious responses. MNers, you don't disappoint when it matters! 😂

Endorewitch · 16/03/2026 18:26

Generalky bra first,but nkt always. Why should anyone tbink it is written in stone which order you put your undies on.

Washingupdone · 16/03/2026 18:26

I wear clean pair of M&S knickers to bed at night and another pair of clean pair of slooggi ones go on before the bra in the morning

Are you going to tell us the statistics on what percentage it MN does what?

@FloofBunny "And yeah, no one knows who you are, until some hacker gets your IP address or a data breach reveals your email."

That'll be the work of Nick, the Knicker Nicker nicking your knickers. Doubt he'll be interested in IP addresses tbh Wink

Sorry @binnibonnieboo I'm a socks on first kinda freak. ... Shall I pass the smelling salts? Grin

BeanQuisine · 16/03/2026 18:41

If naked, then knickers go on first, yes. Imagine starting with bra and then suddenly being hit by a falling piano.

The headlines would be all about this weird woman found dead beneath a piano, wearing only a bra. Don't be that woman.

Manchurian42 · 16/03/2026 18:44

Socks first, always. I get cold feet!

What kind of monster puts their bra on first?

MadamePompom · 16/03/2026 19:10

Knickers then bra then socks or tights.

This. Absolutely this.

If I am out of the shower and therefore nudified then knickers first of course.

However, if I am getting straight out of jammies into clothes then I'll top half it and then bottom half it.

Any other way would be ludicrous

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

This made me double take… if you’re stood in a t shirt with nothing on the bottom half, don’t you feel a bit like Winnie the Pooh? 🤣

DilemmaDelilah · 16/03/2026 19:34

I'm with @itsgettingweird . If I'm wearing jammies it's bra and top first, then knickers, jeans, socks (if I'm wearing them).

If I don't have anything on my bottom half then I get that covered up first.

Oldraver · 16/03/2026 19:44

Yes generally, but since I've been wearing crop style bras for work I pull them on from the bottom ( sore shoulder) so pull bra on first

^Me in the mornings.

I don’t know why I’ve just always done it that way! Dh has teased me about the Pooh thing before!
