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?

Knickers, bra, socks, trousers, top.

DH goes underpants, socks, shirt, then trousers. Now THAT is weird.

He's bang on, undies first, that makes sense, stop the wife ogling, then socks have to be before trousers as less friction when trousers go on and don't have to mess with the trouser leg when pulling socks up. Also don't do shirt before socks as you have to reach down and shirts can be a bit restrictive.
Shirt goes into trousers, so that is logically next.
Trousers last, et voila, makes total sense to me.
Your hubby is a genius.

Depends how droopy your boobs are. You might need them out of the way first so the don't get accidentally tucked in your knickers........🤔

Haha 🤣 brilliant!

knickers/ socks first because they are in a drawer. Then whatever comes off the floor first. Sometimes I put socks on (fluffy) then realise I can’t get bottoms over them and have to take them off.

I freestyle, sometimes bra, sometimes knickers, sometimes balaclava first.

Jack80 · 16/03/2026 20:38

Knickers first

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · 16/03/2026 20:45

I think it should be enshrined in UK Law that it's nickers and then bras.

If people break this law. They should be made to go outside without them on freezing cold days.

It's all become anarchy since the oestrogel, whatever bit of me dries first

Catterbat · 16/03/2026 20:55

Knickers first. Bra needs to go over the radiator for a few minutes because cold bras are the devil's work. Also I fasten my bra at the front and slide it round, and if there’s any dampness left from the shower it’s really hard work.

There’s no messing with knickers, start with the basics.

NoEffingWay · 16/03/2026 21:14

Socks, Knickers then bra!

DavefromtheShed · 16/03/2026 21:19

One girl friend 27yoa or so wore her bra over her vest.
That was a surprise.

Agree with pants first - not that there’s much ogling left in a long marriage - and socks before trousers, of course. But the stage where he’s walking round in pants, socks and shirt? Not a good look, at any age.

^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!

🤣 🤣 🤣

Yes, of course.

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

Yep mine too, he pulls them up high like a Japanese general,weirdo! 🤣

Satsuma2 · 16/03/2026 21:57

Socks first, knickers next and then bra.

Socks, Knickers then bra!

Me too!

ERthree · 16/03/2026 22:13

Bra on first ! Some folk are just wrong un's

Prancingpickle · 16/03/2026 22:19

Bra first!

MaybeItWasMe · 16/03/2026 22:34

Bra first

pollymere · 16/03/2026 22:38

I'm capable of getting almost completely dressed and then putting knickers on if knickers are downstairs and I'm upstairs 😂. If bra is in front of me, I might do bra first before going to get knickers from drawer.

Back21970 · 16/03/2026 22:38

Bra as soon as I get up - pre shower as I hate walking around without one even to make a coffee.

I’m GG cup size 😮

After shower it’s usually bra first as I don’t always wear knickers if I’m staying home - clean leggings every day.

IsThistheMiddleofNowhere · 16/03/2026 22:40

I've no idea. I've never really thought about it. Will try and remember to pay attention in the morning and will let you know then.

ThankFuckTheSunIsHere · 16/03/2026 22:50

Whatever I pick up / find first here.

toddlertoenail · 16/03/2026 22:56

Knickers first while deodorant drys

Proudofmynane · 16/03/2026 23:06

I've got a itchy feet just now, so I've taken to putting my cream on them, and then my sox first 😳.

FantasyFoodhall · 17/03/2026 03:06

I had no idea I was in such disreputable company on here. The only possible exception to knickers first can be if it’s really really cold and you have socks to hand.
