...who wear an extra pair of knickers over their tights?

I think that's very public-spirited of you. All this double-knickeredness around, and there you are wearing none at all, thus helping to keep the average number of pairs per bottom at about 1.

I have done it. At a drama exam at school, I nipped to the loo, came back with my skirt tucked into my knickers at the back and my very colourful pair of pink 'piggy' design comedy knickers, worn over my tights, clearly on show.

Gave the examiners a giggle though, unfortunately the girl at school with the BIIGEST mouth was also there. And yes, this was a girl who spent her whole life speaking in fecking capitals.

'OOH LOOK YOU CAN SEE HER KNICKERS WITH PIGS ON!!! LOOOOK!'

I'm wearing another pair of knickers over my tights at the moment. At 32 weeks pregnant, it's the only way I can get them to stay up.

I've tried everything; maternity tights, normal tights in a bigger size, it's cos my tummy is bigger than my hips at the moment, so they won't stay up for love nor money without the extra knickers.

It's very liberating, not having to worry about having your gusset around your knees!!!

I suppose the falling-down-tights people could always wear men's braces with their tights?

Whaaaaaat? Don't the knickers end up walking down your legs?

Doesn't it just double washing load? Or do you wear the outer pair as the inner pair the next day?

more like to wear no knickers with tights or you end up with too many 'lines' and bumps showing.

another one for no pickers with tights. I do wear them under jeans though.

Knickers.
Damn phone!

I never wear tights. Horrible things.

Not quite as bad as wearing a bra over a vest...

Chatelaine Why on earth would anyone do that?

i wear knickers 2 pairs of tights and another pair of knickers. keeps them from falling down.

ps i have always done this

i did this at school when i had neither an arse or waist to attach anything to

I do it. But only in the winter. It has a double advantage of keeping the tights in place and your bits warm.

Otherwise, I wear stockings (hold ups). They add an extra bounce to my step as they make me feel more free and all that .

Hate tights really.

Ooh, does it keep your tights up then? Interesting. Not that I wear tights regularly.

I know!! Isnt it weird!! I have never in my life had a problem with tights falling down as described but then, I do have thunder thighs to keep them in place!!

OTheHugeManatee - It's nearly died out thank goodness! Ask around your older aquaintances, relatives it was common way back when. Never done it myself you understand! I have a sneaking suspicion it's connected to the time before central heating. One kept the vest on, nightie on top. In the freezing cold morning no need to fully undress. Old fashioned corsets used to be worn over a chemise, think pride & predudice

I've never had tights fall down either!

To add to the list of sins though, I wear tights long legging and socks if I have to go out and be smart when it's cold.

I do, c-section scar cannot tolerate tights that roll down. Second pair of knickers stops it.

I do all the time. Keeps me warm when I am watching the DS's play rugby in the middle of a field in the rain and blowing a gale.

I confess I used to do this when younger and it was not one for a night on the pull. I'm tall so they used to roll down otherwise. Now I just buy a bigger size so they don't - doh!

FabbyChic's post explains why I always wash new clothing before wearing it.

knickers over your tights is all a bit wonder woman with thrush for my liking. Utter madness!
I hate tights though, the work of the devil.
