to wonder what sort of knickers you wear?

I spend a lot on bras - usually Agent Provocateur, expensive but so worth it - but am then persuaded how lovely it would be to have the matching silk thong/briefs. I then don't wear them because I am more comfortable in the old faithful cotton high waisted knickers......

So what do you do - go for comfort or glamour, and what about VPL, or does anybody go commando? Does anybody actually find thongs comfortable?

Sorry if this is a bit kinky for a Saturday afternoon but i am genuinely interested. I would like comfort AND glamour. AIBU to wonder if this is actually achievable?

tartyflette I just can't stand the material on my stomach

I don't wear tights for the same reason

I did have one pair of arse hungry knickers though but ended up binning them in a pub toilet Grin

LOL! Must get off the PC..... washing up to do/ guinea pigs to clean out/ thongs to wash.......

JennerOSity · 11/08/2012 15:26

Normally I much prefer thongs which sit on the hip as I find them the most comfortable, they ride up all the time and need tweeking, I find full-cheek knickers one side or the other is rucking up, things are designed to sit against your crotch and not move! They don't show through your clothes either.

However I am currently pregnant and none of my thongs fit, so I am in full granny knickers which I am not liking but it's a temp solution. :)

JennerOSity · 11/08/2012 15:26

they don't ride up all the time...

FrankelSaysRelax · 11/08/2012 15:35

Remus, I have one of these. It takes a bit of tugging to get on, but I find it very comfortable and gives a good shape.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/08/2012 16:18

That looks Good, Frankel. Thankyou. It looks as if it would be more comfortable than sucker-inner knickers, which I often find a bit pinchy on my legs (and my legs aren't even THAT big!). I will go and investigate. I also wondered about buying sucker-inner knickers but in a size up to avoid leg pinching, but I suspect that might defeat the object. :)

I bought some "no VPL Brazilian knickers" (3 for £10) from Marks and Spencer after seeing them recommended on here. They are the most comfortable knickers I have ever had.

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 11/08/2012 16:50

I wear big black or white cotton ones from asda. The do gold black and white non vpl ones so Im sorted on that fron too.

you can get most things from asda these days dont ya know Grin

Lizcat · 11/08/2012 17:02

For work days when I am exposed to blood, urine and poo all day I have cotton comfy knickers and bras.
For high days and holidays I have lovely lacy bras with matching knickers - there are very few high days and holidays!

Schrodingershamster · 11/08/2012 18:54

I wear plain cotton thongs. Usually black. And comfy !

squeakytoy · 11/08/2012 18:56

None most of the time when wearing jeans or trousers, and whatever matches the bra when I am making more of an effort...

Bonsoir · 11/08/2012 18:58

I never, ever wear non-matching bra and knickers. I wouldn't even dream of buying a bra without the knickers (or thong).

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 19:02

I wear things or shorts.

Always match colours (or ensure major colour on Knicks match bra)

In my youth (when i had more money to spend friviously!) I'd only ever wear matching style / design.

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 19:02

Thongs not things!

NettOlympicSuperstar · 11/08/2012 19:04

I don't do briefs, and I don't do anything that comes in a pack of 5, too Mum for me.
I have loads of matching stuff, from Primark mainly, I'm small and a standard size so can get it cheaply, and then loads of other pants, from french knickers to thongs (tbf, I rarely wear these), to brazilians, and everything between.
Today I'm wearing cookie monster shorts, with a plain black t-shirt bra.
I love underwear, and have two drawers stuffed full of it.

Very good chibi Grin

cocolepew · 11/08/2012 19:09

BIG ones, I like my comfort. DD was sorting out her clothes from the wash and took a pair if my pants thinking they were her t shirt Hmm

broodyandpoor · 11/08/2012 19:11

I love white stuff knickers they have lovely prints, mother of pearl buttons and are very soft boy shorts

ifancyashandy · 11/08/2012 19:13

I always buy 2 pairs of knickers for every bra - thong & either shorts or high leg. Wear the thong with trousers or tight dresses, the others with short skirts / dresses. Always matching.

usualsuspect · 11/08/2012 19:13

I wear big comfy pants.I usually buy them from Asda or Tesco.

KateShmate · 11/08/2012 19:14

I always get these , these or these - all from M&S. So, so comfy!

NettOlympicSuperstar · 11/08/2012 19:17

I just can't do big pants, I'd feel I was turning into my mother.
I'm single, happily so, no one needs to see my pants, but I need to know I like what's going on under my clothes, and that can't be huge pack of fives.

usualsuspect · 11/08/2012 19:18

I couldn't wear knickers like that, I like my arse covered up. They look a bit drafty to me.

panicnotanymore · 11/08/2012 19:19

I have never in my life worn matching bra and knickers. I never will...

I obviously have no class
