Am I slovenly not to wear matching bra and knickers?

[OnlyAbigail]

Because I never do! I usually wear lace bralet type bras in whichever colour I can find them in, and then multipack knickers in black or white from Primark.

My friend was horrified when I told her that I don't wear matching sets and said that she always does!

So am I being a slob by not wearing sets?

I don't think I've been ever owned a matching set of underwear.

I wear Asda bras (great and super cheap) but buy silk knickers from M&S Rosie range (don't rate Asda knickers or M&S random bra sizing which bares no resemblance to real life sizes). I get round the matching conundrum by a. Not giving a toss and b. Choosing bras which have several predominant colours, currently purple, pink and black then matching the knickers to one of the colours. Alternatively buy everything in black?

I try not to wear more than three colours, outerwear and underwear included. I'm petite and find it hard to look pulled together otherwise. No-one's going to see my underwear but I feel more confident and organised when it matches.

Unfortunately I have some challenges in this area. I'm another one who is busty and usually buys bras from Bravissimo. I can't afford the matching knickers, so I buy M&S multipacks and try to match up the colours. When I can't match bra to knickers I stick to my three-colour rule. I'd love drawers full of matching sets in every colour but it's the same champagne tastes, beer budget problem I've had for much of my life.

Right now I want to dye my face flannels and muslins red, a la Dita von Teese, to avoid red lipstick stains, and I'm thinking of dying some M&S white knickers and a slip along with them, so I can match my red bra, except I'm not sure how well the slip would dye. It's one of those M&S 'cooling' ones.

All that said, OP, I think your friend is being silly. It's totally a matter of personal choice whether you match your underwear or not. It sounds like she's worried the lingerie police are going to arrest you!

I believe that the ambulance service don't check . Sexual partners are only interested in its removal.
If you are a stripper it may be worth a match but otherwise don't worry...

Always matching! BUT.. I have tiny boobs and so it’s not difficult to buy matching underwear. I just kind of feel more “put together” when I know I match. Silly I know!

Have it up when I got married, except for the odd sale pairs. I've still got the pants for one set ,god knows how long ago the bra died

Gave not have,why does autofill incorrectly correct a proper word?

Is your friend 14?

Is anyone else more interested in the 3 pairs a day poster??!

Big boobs mean expensive bras, so I don't bother with matching knickers. The only matching ones I've got were free with the bra.

They're usually the same colour, but I don't go out of my way to match them up.

I'm another one whose big boobs mean it's too expensive to match! there's a market opening there...

My bras cost £95 each and the matching knickers are £45 a pair!!! So I have a few for ahem specials, but otherwise just buy cotton knickers but in the same colour as the bra. I’d be bankrupt otherwise (albeit in some very classy smalls)

Mine match. I have just always done it and would never buy a bra unless I could get matching knickers. My DP was amazed once we’d got over the honeymoon period and it didn’t taper off!

I have to buy expensive bras for my enormous bosoms. The matching pants always cost something ridiculous like 20 odd quid. I wear multi pack black pants from M &S / Sainsbury's.

I spend ages getting the right bra. But the matching pants (which I have bought) are never comfy enough.

Whut? No.

Is anyone else more interested in the 3 pairs a day poster??!

Me! What is that all about? You’d need about 30 pairs of pants or be forever washing!

I don’t think I’ve ever worn matching underwater.

Yep, I too need to know about 3 pairs a day.

A pair on to get ready for work...

Is that like wearing last night's knickers to walk the dog in the dark?

This thread has been most interesting.

Apparently some people change their knickers 3 times a day and others think Ccup boobs are small.

All mind boggling.

Since 2 C sections I find a lot of fancy pants just slide down into my scar, fetchingly emphasising the tummy overhang. So I wear high-waisted ones almost exclusively. Multipacks from Tesco usually. This means they almost never match my bras.

I have never owned a matching set. I own 2 bras that fit, one black, one white, alternated depending on what I'm wearing over the top. Then about 3 sports bras for exercise, they only get worn once before washing hence needing 3.
Knickers are multi packs of cotton briefs.

100%, I am totally baffled by that!?

I am another who does not own any matching underwear. I own about 4 or 5 multipacks of plain underwear/girl boxer type things. And then I have about 3 bras that I wear regularly.

STBX's mistress used to pride herself on wearing matching sets nigh on all the time. So I would make all sorts of unwarranted assumptions about anyone else who does

I always think you'd need 2-3pairs of Knicks per bra. I usually wear a bra two days (tho with running in a different bra it's not two full days).

I prefer cotton knickers anyway. I do have one matching set whiche I wear on special occasions - but the knickers are like £8-10!
