To wear husband's underwear

There's loads of times when I can't find any clean knickers and I am in a rush to get to work. So I end up pinching my husband's pants. They don't feel too different and mens pants (briefs, but not Y fronts) look like knickers anyway.
Besides I wouldn't be surprised if he's done the same thing 🤣

My DH wore my knickers once many years ago as he couldnt find any of his! In those days what i wore were normaly much smaller and lacier than i wear now so im glad he didnt get run over!

Think you need to get your laundry schedule sorted out or buy new pants especially if he complains.

That aside they're pants, what's the problem.

I must have 50 pairs of knickers. I never run out. Don’t think using my partners would be an option for me.

Recently, I thought I was getting low on knickers.

But I took them all out of the drawer and was surprised to find I had over 40 pairs (all M & S or Tesco cheap multi packs) and some of them never worn. One or two of them had St Michael branded labels - so lord knows how long I've had those for. You can get a pack of 10 cotton rich from Tesco for £12.50. Just buy a few packs.

I went for a romantic weekend in Paris on the Friday. My luggage arrived on the Monday....the day we flew home!!! Had to borrow my then boyfriend underpants. 🤣🤣🤣

On a romantic weekend in Paris I'm not sure I would have bothered with knickers at all! 😉

According to Wikipedia, St Michael stopped in 2000 😁

My DHs pants would be huge on me! Just buy more knickers if you're often running out of clean ones!

@KarriTreeSullivan all our clothes were at the airport/somewhere. Had to buy new stuff for the weekend. Trying to work out the sizes was difficult enough!! 🤣🤣🤣 I spent the entire weekend in a tracksuit 🤣🤣

You need to buy more knickers :-)

I wore DH’s at the end of my pregnancy, when the size of my bump made my own elastic bands too tight.

I'm by no means the most assiduous when it comes to housework, but how disorganised are you if there are "loads of times" that you run out of clean pants?!

YouWillNeverGuessMyUsername · 14/01/2026 13:03

Wear them if you want, but as PP said , surely you can just buy a few more pairs for yourself?

Nomedshere · 14/01/2026 19:49

I never have but dh's stretchy boxers would easily fit me...hes a 32ins waist. I only wear stretchy boxers too not knickers!

LoveWine123 · 14/01/2026 19:52

Dear lord. How often do you run out of knickers? Never ever happened to me. If it’s a regular occurrence I’d buy more knickers rather than wear someone else’s.

AuntieDolly · 14/01/2026 19:59

Haven’t they got a bulge at the front & no gusset?

DoveTurtle · 14/01/2026 20:08

If you’re happy with him wearing yours too then crack on!

Buy more knickers for goodness sake, they're not exactly pricey.
