or is this asking for permanent thrush?

Noticed someone in a communal changing room putting tights on followed by knickers on top. I can't imagine why you would want to do that unless a) your tights were constantly falling down or b) you were chanelling Superman. Am I missing something or can someone enlighten me as to why this would be a good idea?

[disclaimer: I don't usually spend my time looking at other women's underwear in changing rooms - honest ]

The thought of knickers over tights has just made my skin crawl.

Ewwww!!! Tights 'draw' me at the best of times, never mind sans pants. I do however wear pants both beneath and on top of my tights due to the falling down issue.

Two pairs of pants rule for me every time

stockings solve that issue

eugh!! i winced when reading that!!

my mum does that

tis too weird tho

Tights with a nice breathable gusset - though wearing pants over the top is just weird.

But I rarely wear tights because I live in my jeans and only own one dress (no skirts)

When I was at school (1970's) we had to wear underpants (normal pants) tights, then overpants (enormous thick cotton bloomers) I have no idea why, - presumably to make sure we didn't have sex with any passing boys.

• I no longer go in for multiple pantage

I used to do that when I wore tights 25 years ago, didn't give me thrush though.

Shniff shniff!

Urgh. Can't stand tights. Only stockings or hold ups for me.

Must get awfully sweaty/sticky ?

are you sure she didn't have underwear on under the tights too? i have been known to have an extra pair over the top to prevent falling down issues.

my mum wears no pants under. pants over only.

HTH

You all clearly wear the wrong size tights. Mine stay up with no need for extra pants.

Tights with no knickers is just inviting in that cottage cheese.

not me with the wrong size tights, netto. my mum. just to be clear.

no cottage cheese here.

I never ever wear tights

BUT, how is knickers first, tights next any different to the other way around, thrush-wise?

Because tights aren't cotton, they are nylon? (are they? at least they are not cotton or a breathable fabric)
They must be awfully sweaty right next to your fanjo.

Mind you, I seem to have an opinion when I last wore a skirt, and therefore tights, about 3 years ago.

I'd have to wear some kind of hideous old lady maximum strength tights to hide my thigh cellulite, so these days I just go for the trousers.

Allegedly Ms V Westwood habitually goes commando.

Does that mean she wears tights with no drawers under or over? And is wearing tights sans thong truly commando?

I cannot imagine Vivienne Westwood wearing tights, ever! Sorry!

I believe she means she does not wear pants, thong or tights.

We call my mother batlady for this very reason.

i only have to look at nylon and i tempt thrush.

I can't see why anyone would do that, don't the tights get minging. Maybe it doesn't matter tho, if you only wear them once then wash.

I don't see why anyone would want to wear tights at all, unless their work has a dress code that dictates them. They are disgusting things that serve no useful purpose [and I include stockings in this category]. Just wear trousers in the winter, trousers or skirts with bare legs in the summer.
