to go commando whilst wearing jeans

Had some low cut jeans on yesterday.

SIL said 'how do you wear those without your knickers showing over the top'

Me: 'don't wear knickers'

SIL: Shock HOW can you go commando.

She was seriously shocked that I didn't wear knickers. I said how the bloody hell can you - skinny jeans so a VPL would show, if you wore a g string it would peek out over the top and look horrible.

She made me feel a complete bohemian.

Several threads later on bleached pants I'm no wiser - there are always several very plausible reasons - but no solutions!

FN yuck.... but lol Grin

sorky · 11/08/2010 20:56

I tell ya it's been an eventful day Grin

bumpsnowjustplump · 11/08/2010 21:07

SpanishHarlot · 11/08/2010 21:13

this is just sooo funny...and we haven't even got started on weak pelvic floors...

Re:knickers on head - I was at a company conference, doing make-up, but had forgotten band which keeps hair off face. Decided to use pair or knickers instead. Events coordinator (male) knocked on door to ask me a question, which I merrily answered. Shut door, cue dawning of realisation and laughed my self silly with embarassment!

ItsGraceActually · 11/08/2010 21:15

Only read your OP, GOM, but am very lol @ "bohemian" - that's a bad thing????!!
Am also Envy at the tiny tummy you must have!

YANBU, of course.

bumpsnowjustplump · 11/08/2010 21:17

spanish thank god my weak pelvic floor seems to have fixed itself. I never forget the dreadful moment when participating in a sack race 4 months after ds birth at a family birthday bash......

Thankfully all back to normal now

ChallengingCitrusHalibut · 11/08/2010 21:29

I am so pleased to have found the answer to the mystery of the red gusset! Wondered what the hell was going on with my black pants.

Phew.

sorky · 11/08/2010 21:30

I've have 4 dc's and can bounce away on the trampoline without so much as a misting on my jeans Grin

Do you all have bucket-fanjo's? Wink

LimaCharlie · 11/08/2010 21:40

sorky I'm incontinent impressed

StormyWeather · 11/08/2010 21:42

Kinda pleased to know I'm not alone with the red gusset/black knickers thing - it's kinda bothered me for yonks.

Standing in Tesco waiting at the ciggie counter one morning and lady behind me kindly tapped me on the shoulder and pointed down the way - yesterday's knickers were sticking out the bottom of my jeans, good to know it's happened to others. Anyway, don't go commando, but in younger days would occasionally go out in the summer with DH in the days when he was just a boyfriend, minus any underwear, but always wearing a dress. Blush

TrillianAstra · 11/08/2010 21:47

Now that is the kind of science bit I'd like to hear Jennifer Aniston talk about in an advert Grin

omnomnomtom · 11/08/2010 21:48

stormy I just read that as your boyfriend was minus his underwear wearing a dress- now THATS bohemian!

I think the main issue with going commando in jeans is the hair/zip interface, you must all have immaculately groomed ladygardens Smile

fightingthela · 11/08/2010 21:49

Hilarious! GOML - think you should change your name to GetOrf My GussetGrin

Sidge · 11/08/2010 21:51

sorky can I be in your trampoline-happy gang?

I've had 3 sections, so my passage remains as taut as Kylie's forehead Grin

No Tena moments for me, thank you very much!

bumpsnowjustplump · 11/08/2010 21:52

Sorky i can bounce with the best of them now but 4 months after having ds things were different then... But the clenching and lifting has worked a treat let me tell you Wink

sorky · 11/08/2010 21:55

Boing, boing!

sorky · 11/08/2010 21:56

The day Jennifer Aniston talks about snail trails and gusset bleaching on tv will be the day I throw the towel in I think Trillian!

whomovedmychocolate · 11/08/2010 22:04

I go commando unless in skirts/dresses or have period.

I only freebleed if someone chops my leg off and I think all you ladies with camel c--ts should seek advice Grin

I don't actually have any discharge either. I'm either a withered crone or very uptight. Grin

Re the camel toe thing, complete myth, if you wear the right sized trousers with the correct rise (pubic bone to waist length) it does not happen, and anyway, a thin layer of cotton wouldn't stop it.

StarExpat · 11/08/2010 22:05

I'm reading this thread as I lay next to 22 mo DS (who has had a few very restless nights and looks like we're headed for another...) and I cannot stop giggling!! He is going to wake up from the uncontrollable shaking of my body but I can't help it - this is absolutely hilarious! I've only read half of it. Off to read the rest now...
Thanks MNers for being so incredibly funny and honest. I needed this laugh tonight :)

bumpsnowjustplump · 11/08/2010 22:07

oh WHOM can you tell that to an older lady at my work... She insists on wearing leggings and there is no mistaking her camel toe... yuck yuck yuck.. and they are black leggins so if you are all correct they will soon have a red crutch lol

PinkyMe · 11/08/2010 22:09

[Being brave and wading in to the bleached gusset...erm debate]

Couldn't it be the amonia in urine that does it?

sorky · 11/08/2010 22:10

omg are you all pissing yourselves and don't know it?!?

PinkyMe · 11/08/2010 22:10

ammonia even
