So I brought a body....

The clothing type not an actual one although I’d not mind a new younger body.

Stupid question, do I wear underwear with it, knickers? Surely if I do I can wear it for more than one day? But that seems uncomfortable as I’ve tried it on with them in case I needed to return it.

Its designed to be worn without knickers

TheGreenDot · 06/01/2019 10:33

I thought that’s what Id get told.
Bit ick but I’ll go with it. Ta

Don't get too pissed whilst wearing it- it never ends well.Wink

mermaidbutmytailfelloff · 06/01/2019 10:41

They were a fashion that quite rightly went out of fashion.... impossible if a bit tired or squiffy, uncomfortable to the extreme, but I guess no draughty gaps.

To answer your question, no pants, but bear in mind when you get pissed off with it and don’t taste; them you have that sad Ab Fab moment with a dangly body.

mermaidbutmytailfelloff · 06/01/2019 10:41

Not taste....don’t fasten them it should have said

Babygrey7 · 06/01/2019 12:03

Yeah, don't taste them either though!

TacoFlavouredKisses · 06/01/2019 12:14

I'm a big fan of bodies (of every sort!) - no coming untucked! I've always worn them with knickers though (to much derision from my DP). Feel a bit naked without them!

Lumene · 06/01/2019 13:53

I have always worn bodies with knickers underneath.

Bombardier25966 · 06/01/2019 13:57

I wear knickers with them too. The fastening bit is not designed to be rubbing against your lady bits all day.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 06/01/2019 14:00

What the hell are you guys talking about? What’s a body?? Grin

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 06/01/2019 14:01

Always loved a body myself - find they give a more streamline look (in the 90s wore them with very bodycon skirts and dresses etc...) but they can sometimes be a fiddle to do up or if you do a massive sneeze the poppers can come undone (usually at a most inopportune moment!).

silkpyjamasallday · 06/01/2019 14:06

I wear a thong when I wear a body, but that's because I only wear it with bias cut silky skirts and the line of knickers shows through with another for the edge of the body, giving me a wobbly six pack effect on the arse. I never wear a bra now I've stopped bf, and going without knickers too feels a bit weird. Pubes and crotch poppers are not a good combo either Grin

AuldAlliance · 06/01/2019 14:23

I clicked on here, wondering where you'd gone with a corpse.
Disappointed now.

In a bid to be helpful, I only once wore a body w/o knickers, circa 1989. Never again. Cheesewire effect and pube incompatibility in one small zone. .

TSSDNCOP · 06/01/2019 14:25

Commando.

Can I give you a piece of advice though? Make sure the body is long enough. I once had one that was too short. The pain of it pressing on my nethers all working day was excruciating.

JeezYouLoon · 06/01/2019 14:25

I wore them back in the day, bloody nightmare - half pissed, club toilet, good friends to help you out those were the days Grin

SlowNorris · 06/01/2019 14:27

Why do people say brought? Is it a regional thing?

hugoagogo · 06/01/2019 18:34

I assumed it was a typo.

Processedpea · 06/01/2019 18:40

I wear underwear with mine. Otherwise I find they can travel a bit :) love them in this cold weather mine is a spaghetti strap type one from m and s it's comfy

TheGreenDot · 06/01/2019 18:45

Yup I’ve dyslexia spelling is not my forte 😁

Ok I wore for abit round house with no knickers. That’s not happening the poppers are evil. I’ve added a thong. Seems ok. Might be warm in summer.....

I won’t be eating it. But thanks for that advice too. 😆

I had an image of you dragging a body across a car park or something!

You mean you bought a bodysuit?

potatoscone · 06/01/2019 18:46

Sorry pressed post too soon Blush

I used to wear them in the 90's and always wore pants with them, the crotch had hideously uncomfortable poppers then though, I would assume they are better made now?

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 06/01/2019 18:51

I always wore pants with them, then fastened the body over my tights in the late 90s.

SlowNorris · 06/01/2019 21:19

Ah sorry. I have definitely heard people say brought instead of bought though Grin

MitziK · 06/01/2019 21:25

Hope you've got one with better poppers than they had in the 1990s.

They do not go well with a quick trip to the loo. Or walking about where you can't adjust yourself unseen. Or reaching up to get things from high shelves. Or sitting down. Or trying to do them back up again in a nightclub toilet without poppering a labia in the process. Shock
