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?

Could be either depending on how I’m feeling or if I have to go to different rooms to find clean clothes.

Somersetlady · 15/03/2026 20:43

I don’t wear knickers so bra first!

popcornandpotatoes · 15/03/2026 20:43

Absolutely always pants first

dapsnotplimsolls · 15/03/2026 20:43

Knickers first then bra. Belly and arse need covering!

Knickers first, then jeans/skirt, socks, then bra and top.
It feels wrong to even think of doing it any other way!

Sorry but this is even madder than bra first! Knickers, bra, vest, top. Jeans, socks. There is no other rational order. Who puts the jeans on before the bra? Leaving the top naked? Madness!

Knickers on first obviously! If someone barged in I would rather they got an eyeful of tits than full frontal Fangelina Jolie.

Think in reverse. What would you expose first in a game of Strip Poker? Or on a continental beach?

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........🤔

🤣🤣

WWomble · 15/03/2026 20:44

I have no idea but I always sleep on the same side of the bed - closest to the door!!

ShowOfHands · 15/03/2026 20:45

Bra then deodorant or the deodorant is rubbed off by the bra (I only wear sports bras). I put on lower half stuff next while the deodorant dries.

I never answer these posts in case it's a perv. Or pervs are reading. Sick of the amount of posts asking women about their most intimate parts. Bore off OP, it's none of your business. Either you're a perv and if not, you shouldn't be encouraging women to discuss these things and creating opportunities for men to get off on reading these discussions. There was a question recently asking women about their vaginas.

I agree with @FloofBunny
The amount of threads with the pooh troll , the peetroll , the oral and anal trolls, etc etc is unbelievable. You name it there seems to be a resident troll here for everything private and intimate . The amount of threads l hide immediately on reading the title it's about 70% of all threads .
However l didn't think this was one of those threads TBF.

Rightsraptor · 15/03/2026 20:46

Knickers first every time.

Gonners · 15/03/2026 20:47

As a fearless iconoclast, I like to mix it up. One day bra, another socks, sometimes knickers. And in cold weather, when I put a coat on to go out, I often undo my bra and let the bosom bounce free.

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!

Yes, there's a difference between dressing from nothing and changing.

Walkinglikegroucho · 15/03/2026 20:48

I dont even know. I've never even thought about this. And now I am, I havent a clue which I do first. Genuinely. I think whatever comes to hand first.

My knickers and socks live in a different room to where I get dressed so that might affect the order as well if I have forgotten to go and get them before I start getting dressed.

I also wear pj's so im never really fully undressed except for bath time, which is at night.

Loopo · 15/03/2026 20:48

Bra and shirt then the knickers and pants - my house is cold in winter and this seems warmer😂

BookOfBritishBirds · 15/03/2026 20:00

Socks is logical. Chances are if you e just come out of the shower and are wrapped in a towel or bathrobe it is your feet that will need the warmth of clothing first.

Socks are the very last things I put on. I put my Ugg boots, which I wear as slippers, on if my feet are cold.

Knickers first, always.

BelleEpoque27 · 15/03/2026 19:53

Yes, of course.

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

Socks then jocks, always. Saw it on embarrassing bodies years ago to stop spreading a fungal infection from feet to crotch!! Your man is smart, although I suspect most people don't have athlete's foot all that often

Bishbashbush · 15/03/2026 20:51

Knickers first! Can usually find comfy pants before I commit to the dreaded over shoulder boulder holder 🙄

DiscoBeat · 15/03/2026 20:51

I'm a pants first kind of girl. And bra off first at the end of the day.

What kind of monster puts their bra on first?

Um I do, always have done, sorry I didn't realize it made me a monster

Newyearawaits · 15/03/2026 20:52

Knickers first

FlatErica · 15/03/2026 20:53

Bra first for me.

tutugogo · 15/03/2026 20:53

It depends what’s lying around vs in drawers /on radiators, sometimes I even put socks on first!

You do realise that you don't need to post at all if you are concerned? OP's post was not directed specifically to you so there is no need to be rude.

How I would hate to have your suspicious mindset - and if a perv wants to salivate over me putting my knickers on first I couldn't care less, they don't know who I am.
