Undergarment OCD.

My SiL saws I have OCD (possibly true - but not because of this) because I only wear matching bras and knickers.

They come in sets, right? Wearing the set together is surely the obvious thing to do, much the same way as wearing two matching socks or matching pajama top with matching pajama bottom?

Also you need clean undies every day, so they may as well match. Yes?

I enjoy wearing nice underwear. I strongly agree about your undergraments being the source of how you look and feel.

I also put them away together (bra folded in half, one cup inside the other, knickers wedged in behind and lined up in a drawer) and apparantly this is OCD too and will lead to terrible things. Surely it just makes them easier to find?

Have I OCD? Or am I just very sensible?

the matching pants thing is a bit naff imo
only for shoppers at la senza

Also I think knickers need to be cotton if they are to be worn for more than 20 minutes.

yes I like the slutty bonkersness of mixing crazy underwear combinations - - does this make you feel panicky OP Grin

springbok - your post resonates with me!! My mother ALWAYS took great care that I was in sparkly white vest and pants in case I was run over - the reason being that she did not want the hospital to think I had come from a "bad home!!"

I always wear matching - usually black though - more practical - and I store them in exactly the way the op does!!

Interesting Whip, do you mean Primark underwear, esp. bras are ok? I've always avoided them thinking they would be uncomfortable and not very supportive! I'm going in tomorrow!

I don't think you're OCD. I always wear matching sets (and try to also match my undies to my outfit) but don't store them as neatly as you, I have a drawer for light undies and one for dark and they get thrown in the appropriate drawer. Makes it easier to find the matching set if they are somewhat organised but can't be bothered with folding, etc.

As I wear bras more than once I tend to buy two pairs of knickers per bra so I can match two days before washing the bra.

primark bras are amezzing. and cheap. but somewhat limited in sizes and thrown all over the show by excited teenagers...so you do have to search long and hard. But it is sooooo worth it.
