I do it, I do it! I thought everyone did it! It makes me so cross when you get your tights halfway down your thighs... Oooh that's a day-ruiner that is. An extra pair of knickers over the top keeps everything safe.

Catsmamma · 31/01/2011 18:47

sooooo what about when you are wearing a body??

Tights under or over?

and do all you two pair freaks wear pants in bed....when does your fandando get an airing??

DublinMammy · 31/01/2011 18:48

Once absent-mindedly put my pants back on over my swimsuit (perhaps I didn't want to forget them, changed at home) and wandered out into the pool area like that. Blush

I have not read all of this thread, I read up to the link to the other thread and got part way down, and I can't stop laughing at the posts, I am also in shock that people wear bear tights and just the one pair of pants on the outside, far worse than two pairs imho, I feel quite ill at the though of not washing them and wearing them till they break!

I think I will come back and read this later, funny thread.

Slightly off topic but i've always wondered, when you wear stockings and suspenders, which obviously we all do all the time, do you put the knickers over or under the suspender thingys?

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 31/01/2011 18:52

Girls at shool did this. Like the previous poster - I would get thrush just thinking about it.. Don't usually wear tights - prefer hold-ups, knelt to my knees an praised the lord in sainsbos the other day when I saw opaque hold-ups, which I have been missing all these years...Grinnow my life is complete...

yogididabooboo · 31/01/2011 18:52

do they? how do you know?

do they not get a swetty betty?

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 31/01/2011 18:53

over the suspenders of course! could get very grapply otherwise.

bettybosseye · 31/01/2011 18:55

Thank you mrsGuy- things have been a bit grapply now you mention it.

My dd accused me of keeping Important Feminine Secrets from her when I told her about the extra knickers to hold your tights up. She was seriously outraged. "You let me get to 15 without telling me!!!!!!!"

I thought everyone did it!

Chandon · 31/01/2011 19:03

I am 6ft 1, and never do this.

I do do a very silly dance in the loos though, hoisting up the gusset and kicking my legs around like a karate queen so the gusset is where it should be Grin

GORGEOUSX · 31/01/2011 19:04

Have never done so myself, but hardly something to be appalled about.

I don't but then I have managed to buy tights that fit me. You need a size bigger than you think you are.

PlanetEarth · 31/01/2011 20:00

I never do this. And yes, I always buy quite big ones, I just hate that feeling of the crotch creeping down your legs. I'm size 12 and 5'7", which is generally listed as medium, but I usually go for large size - what do larger people wear I wonder?

lizziemun · 31/01/2011 20:13

My dd2 does this, but she is only 3. It's only way she can pull her tights so she can do by HERSELF Grin.

Maybee · 31/01/2011 20:17

I do on cold days if my tights won't stay up! They rock. I wouldn't go on the pull clad like that but hey each to their own!
