no boys allowed in the room!!!!

I usually get the VS 5 for $25 deal a couple times a year so they don't get too worn out looking.

Or because the dog has chewed through like 1/2 of them by then. lol.

The ones that really fall apart fast (1-2 years) are the cheap cotton ones from Target. They are also cute and affordable so I keep buying them. Not sure there's really some kind of craftsmanship investment underwear I could buy even if I did have the money, so this works for me. I think my parents' garments hold together forever but that's because polyester + sacred.

MAGIC UNDERWEAR!!

The VS ones are cheap cotton and I'm sure by 1-2 years they'd be pretty much disintegrated.

garments are made of polyester?!!

i always figured they were cotton or lol, silk

good-looking = doesn't have holes eaten in it from low pH vaginal discharge

i never knew about this! thank you for solving my eternal mystery of where the holes come from, for reals!

I did always wonder about this too! In my case its bleached out black fabric rather than always holes, but still! WTF causes it? I feel like some kind of acidic superhero. CAUSTIC GAL.

Its also embarrasing when you fling off yr jocks around a guy and it looks like something weird exploded in your pants :/ ITS JUST THE FABRIC DYE I SWEAR.

silk garments! I'd might still be Mormon. SOunds luxurious (disregarding silk's powerful insulation properties).

what does this mean???

the thing with the silkworms was one of my fave bits of historical Mormon absurdity

ohhh man I had to google to even see what you mean. I guess it's cute that JS accidentally built all those anachronisms into his KJV fanfic but I was never able to give a fuck about whether or not horses were in South America or if it were really possibly for Jews to cross the ocean in frisbee boats lit by glow rocks.

or...what are you talking about.

wasn't this back in pioneer Utah days? Brigham Young decided that the mormons should make their own cloth, so they imported a bunch of silkworms, so that they could make their own silk, but the silkworms would totally freak out when there were thunderstorms, so they had to make protective coverings or something for the silkworm cages? i could be misremembering like a motherfucker.

I will admit the year of seminary on Doctrine & Covenants/church history was the year I mostly skipped class to hang out in my friends' guitar class, in which they did not play the guitar, but made chair ziggurats.

i think the person who told me that story spent most of that year of seminary stoend

what does this mean???

Which bit haha now I feel awkward! I mean the ph level thing bleaches stuff and on black fabric, that can cause it to.. well, basically it can go red. So you know. Ugh.

I didnt mean I spontaneously eject ink from my ladyparts like some kind of manga bizarro robot.

...I already regret typing that haw.

lol trayce

oh yeah - reddish/orangey? yeah

Ok I did not get the Australian bits.
Lord knows I have plenty of ugly brown skidmarks on my lighter underwear.
The first guy I had sex with saw my underwear and asked me if I shit my pants regularly. What a match made in heaven.

The skidmarks are from menses even though I guess that's a pooping term.
Girl talk!!!

geez - i consider myself lucky that none of the guys i've been with paid any attention to my underpants once they were removed.

Oh! I assumed ppl would know what jocks were haw. Undies.

See, those are the period underwear that only get worn during certain days/times.

i figured jocks was short for jockeys (the makers of underwear)! I get aussieisms!

xps

i prefer to have black underwear. i bleed a lot, and irregularly. i hate bloodstains. tho peroxide works pretty well.

also, ecover stain treater. i use a ton of it.

I can solve this problem for you all!

You guys all have great ideas. I started using pantiliners. It helps but I still fuck up.

Laurel, hit me!

as long as the solution isn't a swiffer

Er no, it's not wearing underwear. May be more helpful to some than others.

But I only have the one chemise, I can't bleed onto it!

Allowing for individual variation, normal woman parts are pretty good at keeping "in" things in, I find. Not including periods, obv.

Sorry, Abbs! Not that exciting.

OK - question for the non underpants wearing folk. DO you not wear underwear with anything? I mean even when you're wearing jeans? I had to go commando with jeans recently in an emergency situation (forgot to pack any underwear for 3 days away) and it was so damn uncomfortable. I spent the whole day wondering how commando favoring folk did it tbh.

Nope! Not even with jeans. I wore underpants w jeans the other day because I was going to TRY ON jeans and I am not a disgusting savage, and I was shocked at how uncomfortable it was. Also that it gave me panty lines. Now THAT'S gross.

Every time I have worn jeans without underwear, it was clear that afterwards the jeans wanted washing. Maybe it's a YMMV thing.

every time i've gone w/out underwear (on the rare occasion) i've ended up with skin rashes.

xposts - haha I know you hate panty lines something fierce. I don't mind them tbh. Man, I just - well the crotch seams were all rubbing up in places they didn't belong! Maybe I'm just not used to it. I like underwear esp cute underwear so going without hasn't really ever occurred to me as a regular thing.

I should say, in the summer I just wear stockings cut into, like, bike shorts every single day, so it functions as underwear. But I can't stand the lines and the straps and elastics cutting into me on normal underpants.

Also in the half year or so I was trying to go without underwear, I was clearly just doing it wrong. Like I'd ride a bike in a dress and then fall off the bike and of course feel gravely embarrassed and exposed. Or get lock out of my own house (once again in a skirt) drunk in the middle of the night and decide to lay down in the soil and then imagine how close I am to that which creepeth in the soil with no underwear layer to protect me. I guess they are just talismanic to me in their power to keep me from feeling exposed.

There was a while when I meant to buy a lot of pairs of silky tap pants instead of briefs-style, but you can't stuff tap pants into jeans anyway.

lol, aww

tap pants are cute

I have an awesome pair of ruffle butt underwear but you can't really wear them under anything which makes me sad because I'd get 6 more pairs and wear them every day if I could. They'd make the days better.

You could wear them under swirly 50s skirts for dancing!

ok now i'm imagining Benson in ruffle butt underwear and it's making me lol

i wear men's boxer briefs sometimes instead of undies because i like the seams better. but then there's that extra fabric in the front. (boyshorts fit me horribly)

just bought some new 'hipster' undies and i wear them inside out because arrrrgh the seams i hate them.
