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?

Bra first. Then top. Then knickers. 🤭

I’d definitely do Brad first, after that anything goes!

Show quote history

Was waiting for this comment!😂 However I am knickers first also 😊

Knickers, bra, vest top, t-shirt, trousers, socks.

I used to do bra first (for HRT reasons too) then I realised there was nothing stopping me putting my knickers on BEFORE applying gel… and now I feel less exposed and more relaxed while it is drying. (And also less likely to rush myself into dressing and get that “oh crap it wasn’t really dry properly” moment.)

Knickers first!

JustSawJohnny · 15/03/2026 20:05

I've just dressed after a shower.

Bra went on first.

Do people follow an order? I have no idea what I do. It’s probably different every day.

This is me too. No specific order and yes likely different each day

Always bra before knickers. But my knockers are hefty and I want them out the way before the rest of my body 😂

MissyMooPoo2 · 15/03/2026 20:10

Knickers first! I actually could not do it the other way round.

insomniac1 · 15/03/2026 20:11

I know!! I'm stunned that this could be true.

Knickers first so deodorant has time to dry. Stops white marks on tops.

Overtheatlantic · 15/03/2026 20:13

Mygodinheaven. You put on your knickers first in case you have to answer the door then at least your downstairs is covered. I despair.

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!

This 100%

ElizabethsTailor · 15/03/2026 20:14

Socks
Bra
T-shirt
Knickers
Trousers

Socks first if it is chilly

Yes! Woolly ones for me.

BeGoldLemur · 15/03/2026 20:15

Socks first!!

Sometimes pants, sometimes bra - no specific order

Well, this is the oddest response yet. Do you also have no side you sleep on in the bed??

Yes....exactly this from me as well!

SpiritAdder · 15/03/2026 20:17

The order varies. Sometimes, I don’t wear knickers.

PinkLegoBalloon · 15/03/2026 20:17

Bra first for me.

I wonder if it depends on chest size. For me scaffolding/support is more of a pressing need than knickers.

CaptainMyCaptain · 15/03/2026 20:17

Knickers first.

Pants then socks Jeremy, pants THEN socks!

Im not answering the door half naked - either way round!

Flowerlovinglady · 15/03/2026 20:21

Knickers first - probably a man wrote it.
