I'm FOREVER putting holes in mine when I put them on.

How do I not do this?

This is...completely outside my experience. ConfusedConfusedConfused

But I wear those no-show, very stretchy knickers. There is no strain on them when I pull them up, so why would my finger go through?

I don't get it!!!

You should put your knickers on in-front of a long portrait mirror. That will ensure you put them on correctly and stop ruining them.

Perhaps baby oil or a puff of talc to help slippage Op? I wear cheap cheap pants and I have never made a hole in them when donning.

This thread is so bizarre Grin

OP, maybe wear some sort of protective mittens when getting dressed?

How long are your nails? Do you cut yourself when you itch? I have so many questions.

I'm not oiling myself before I put my pants on so that line of reasoning can stop ta

I can't believe no-one's asked for a diagram yet!

This thread has given me a business idea: knickers made of Kevlar, the stuff they make stab-proof body armour and motorcycle clothing from.

threeluckystars are you our, what's it called the national poet?

Anyway, OP, I think this is a random superhero power that just hasn't yet been used in it's proper setting. Leave your knickers and jeans in peace and try your super-skill out on some real challenges - bet you could open those super-sealed knives and scissors, etc., !!!!!

Yes a true lady speaks to people just like that HmmGrin

Mummyoflittledragon · 21/05/2017 16:19

What about rubber knickers? Or leather? Or pantaloons seeing as you're a LADY?

UnbornMortificado · 21/05/2017 16:22

I'm jealous of your nails. I have fake pointy nails that are indestructible and my knickers are still whole.

Sucky-in pants are supposed to be indestructible they might do the trick.

ScoozMeLuv · 21/05/2017 17:59

Who's been telling you lies that you're a lady?

Have you destroyed any more undergarments today?

HoneyDragon · 21/05/2017 18:04

No. I followed the advice from here and kept my thumbs hooked. So far so good

You are obviously washing them too often. Once a week is enough.

Oh sorry. That was bras wasn't it :)

29Palms · 21/05/2017 18:45

Joking aside, that is the problem. The fabric doesn't withstand repeated washing, it eventually deteriorates to a papery texture. Not a problem if you can afford enough pairs so you only need to wash them once every six months. Grin
