no, kwho does this - weirdos

JamieLeeCurtis · 31/01/2011 16:17

I have been known to do it, if the tights have a saggy gusset. Nowt worse than a saggy gusset IMO

cuppatino · 31/01/2011 16:17

Why? Do you carry a mirror with you so that you can drop it by their feet bend down and check? I always do. Can't bear saggy gusset

How do you know who is and who isn't unless you follow them into the loo ?

Or have you done a survey ?

5GoMadOnAZ650 · 31/01/2011 16:18

I do! It stops then from rolling down.

jooseyfruit · 31/01/2011 16:19

so one pair of knickers, then tights, then another pair of knickers?

I'm getting thrush just thinking about it.

OTheHugeManatee · 31/01/2011 16:19

It's horrible when your tights sort of work their way down until the crotch is midway between your thighs and your knees kind of 'gangsta' style.

But even then, I wouldn't dream of adding more knickers on top.

No, you're having me on. Who does that, and how do you know????

P.S. Maybe it makes for a quicker change into superhero mode?

whysolate · 31/01/2011 16:19

My mum does! Grin......and pop socks! (although not at the same time as the tights with extra knickers, because that would be even more wrong Hmm)

LaWeaselMys · 31/01/2011 16:20

Extra pants is a sure sign of madness.

InterruptingCow · 31/01/2011 16:20

How the heck do you know that?

I was also surprised by this double-knickeredness.

JamieLeeCurtis · 31/01/2011 16:21

Jamie Lee Curtis does it!!!

OTheHugeManatee · 31/01/2011 16:21

Interrupting, mylife, Dropdead, I refer you to this thread for the evidence.

I never wear tights, if I had to wear a pair I wouldnt wear any knickers at all, just the tights.

propercrimbo · 31/01/2011 16:22

In OP's defense there is a thread about this currently thats how they know!

I used to when I was at school, but I also used to wear two pairs of tights to make them more opaque and that gave them a weird swirly pattern!

Not now, not ever, sweaty tuppence!! Confused

OTheHugeManatee · 31/01/2011 16:22

Crikey Fabby.

Thrusharama, surely? Hmm

CoteDAzur · 31/01/2011 16:23

Buy tights that are bigger than your size. They will never sag down again.

FabbyChic · 31/01/2011 16:24

Never get thrush but then never wear knickers or tights! Just saying if I had to, be no knickers.

JamieLeeCurtis · 31/01/2011 16:25

What I don't like with tights is the tummy rollover you sometimes get (I mean the tights rolling over, not the tummy- although that can be a problem too Grin)

OpenAmyrillis · 31/01/2011 16:27

You never wear knickers FabbyChic? Do you wear jeans ever?
