A question or 2 about "Knickers" to the mature women amongst us!!

  1. Do women in their mid fifties still wear thongs??
  2. For those of us who dont anymore, do you still wear knickers that still look a bit sexy so to speak? Or has that gone out the window now?

Oh come on, this is MN! Grin

Oh @KirstenBlest you tinker. You had me going then. Becsuse, let’s face it, we’ve all read something more ridiculous than that here.

I think I need an early night. And a gin. 😬

Big pants are far less obvious.

The thing about wearing thongs to avoid VPL is that if the material is so thin your knickers will show, if you wear a thong your bare bum is obvious. You might think "great, no VPL"- but honestly, bare bum, it's not a good look.

Thongs are VERY obvious if you're wearing yoga pants or those bum crunching legging things (whatever they're called)

But as with occasionally visible bra straps i think - "meh! women wear underwear get over it"

From a VPL POV the seamless ones are best, and aesthetically much better.

I'm #TeamBigPants - have been forever. i also like calvin klein style boxer things for women. Both my DDs like big pants, they go for nicer looking lace edged. I just go for price/quality.

Sometimes I don't feel like a "proper woman" as I've never cared about VPL. Why does it matter..

The issue with thongs is more women not wearing underwear.

If my thong is obvious, I change what I am wearing over it or go without. The same with visible bra straps.

Late 30s here and I’ve never worn thongs. Can’t stand the feeling of them creeping up my hole lol. I usually just go for comfort I don’t care, it’s not like anyone is seeing my underwear anyway

Can’t stand the feeling but never worn them?

mitogoshigg · 24/10/2024 16:44

Never worn thongs, so uncomfortable and definitely not sexy. I have cotton everyday full briefs and nicer ones that match bras

Obviously worn them to test them out but never have worn them as a regular pair of undies

Ignore. Replied to the wrong poster.

What a weird question

InThePinkScarf · 24/10/2024 17:25

Never worn a thong and I am 39. Each to their own but they look so uncomfortable.

I wear mini style knickers.

I change my knickers every time I have a shower, which is before I get dressed in the morning, after I've been to the gym, when I come home from work, before I have sex, and after sex, and before bed. Doesn't everyone?

No.
