to go commando whilst wearing jeans

347 replies

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.

Like Upahill I was commando when I was involved in (cycling) accident. BiscuitBlush. My mum thought a pervy consultant had knicked them Grin.

I hate knickers. I have the wrong shaped bum for any knickers. I have some and do if I am wearing skinnies but 'tis tres liberating.

Hey, if you think the knickers incident is strange, you really don't want to know what I do with my bra.

Cycling sans knickers is the only way to go, that's what the pro's do.

When my little pussies were teeny-weeny kittens, I used to use it as a makeshift hammock for the pair of them.

What secondary uses do you have for a suspender belt? Spanx? Jock Strap?

Apologies for the free bleeding randomness earlier, looking back I have no idea where I got that idea from at all!

I once put my knickers on back to front and didn't realise until lunchtime. I put them on the right way and they were way more uncomfortable - no idea what that says about my body shape Hmm. I'm in the 'can't even consider going commando' brigade - even when wearing pyjamas Blush.

Tangent - do commandos actually go commando?? Or is it a slur??

Wrong shaped bum?? Is there a right shape? < ponders as looks in the mirror>

Lol at free bleeding madness.

God knows about commandos - I think going commando is so called because it means you're 'Ready for action' Grin

Suspender belt?! Suspender belt?! Nice pair of belly-hugging tights for me, I'm afraid.

I like the ones you can actually pull up OVER your chest.

Poledra · 11/08/2010 14:57

The tights have not yet been made that can be pulled over my chest - unless they're like Mrs Large's tights

Free bleeding - there have been threads about it before... I just don't see how you can do it without leaving a calling card??

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/08/2010 14:59

Marantha - do you double up said tights as dog leads, or lassoos for catching squirrels, or something Grin

Mind you in saying that I have used old stockings as hair bobbles, so who the fuck am I to take the piss? Grin

I suppose you could use old tights to strain marmalade through instead of muslin- but I doubt Delia or Nigella do this (I don't know, though, it's possible).

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/08/2010 15:11

HA! I remember nigella said you could make a bouquet garni out of an old pop sock.

Lol at the thought of Nigella wearing bloody pop socks, of all garments.

Perhaps she meant her charlady's pop socks.

Urgh, though.
