What's in your knicker drawer?

So today I went to my (good) friend's house to borrow some jewelry for a party (spangly tat kind, not Cartier or nowt, sadly) and we popped up to her room and she produced her spangle box from her knicker drawer. I thought three things..

  1. surely that's the first place a burglar would look?!
  2. I'm not sure I could socialise next to my knicker drawer due to the assorted fanjo health crap/contraception/saucey bits contained therein and
  3. most notably, HOW FLIPPIN TIDY IS HER KNICKER DRAWER??!! It looked like a shelf at muji - all colour co-ordinated folded knicks and bras.. whereas mine is a great big scrumpled mess of birth-knickers, old thongs, grey bras etc

So ladies please, spill, I need to know - what's your smalls drawer like?!

Like yours Grin

With some old receipts stuffed in the corner so I don't lose them. Not entirely sure why

Have a 'everyday' knicker drawer
And a 'good'/potential sex knicker drawer
Both need restocking

Grin loving the shag pants drawer idea, pushing! (although then I might feel obliged to summon up the energy for an actual shag Wink)

I would love to chuck about 80% of them out and start again...

I do have a pop socks & socks drawer and a separate tights & stockings drawer
I prefer hosiery to underwear - a 'good/potential sex knicker drawer' would be a sad and empty waste of a drawer in the HEG household...

Mostly grotty knickers and £320 towards a holiday but no one else knows it's there!

Mine is very empty containing a few bras and a couple of dental floss thongs - i go commando usually.

That woman clearly has a second knicker drawer for the comfy pants no one is allowed to see.

Fruitflieslikeabanana · 07/03/2012 20:23

Mine has sedimentary layers (really need to sort it out), everyday knickers on rotation at the front then working backwards, nice / sexy / sexy and uncomfortable then the 'oh god what was I thinking', then a couple of pairs of control pants (don't control just relocates!!) and finally at the very back my favourite pre child underwear that no longer fits but I live in hope.

She knew you were coming. She tidied. Grin

Where are my knickers by the way. Bought myself a 5 pack of M&S white cotton pants. Where are they? Not where they should be. The grey ones are still in residence. Perhaps they scared the new ones off?

A half eaten bag of minstrels.... A good hiding place from the children and dhGrin

I have a frilly knicker drawer Blush. Tatty knickers sulk in the drawer underneath wishing they could live the high life too. For some reason, there's also a teatowel in with them (DP? Hmm).

40notTrendy · 07/03/2012 21:16

A variety of knickers in different stages of wear.

The spare key for the car.

Gaviscon, couldn't get out the habit of having it next to my bed during pregnancy.
Nurofen, for nights after too much booze. Grin

A pack of felt tip pens Confused.

Am feeling a bit Blush that I don't have shag pants.

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 07/03/2012 21:24

Knickers and bras, obviously Shock

Sorted into colours

Not a saggy or greying pair in sight [proud]
