Underwear

I like pretty underwear in nice colours and with lace trims – and since my teens I have like my bra and knickers to match. Nobody apart from me and occasionally absentdaughter or the doctor sees me in it, so the fact that I have massive surgical scars on my abdomen is just my business.

I bought a couple of 'comfy' pairs from M&S thinking they would be comfortable to travel in but then decided I didn't want to wear them to go out anywhere so they are consigned to the back of the drawer.

Do you like to show off your playful personality Gonegirl?
these women's knickers are a great way to bulk up your drawer
Not as much as the awful ones I bought

Who writes this stuff?

Been wearing sloggis for years. Comfort is important. Matching underwear doesnt always work.
If trousers are pale and top is dark then I wear light colour pants and dark bra.

I'm reminded of Terry Wogan and directoire knickers.
I just googled retro knickers with pockets but I came to what looked like quite a 'niche' site selling them.

I used the pocket to hide bubble gum, sneaked in to us by the ‘day girls’...until I was caught by Matron as it glued up in the laundry ! ?

I also had bottle green knickers with a pocket at school, used the pocket for hiding food from school dinners which were foul, my mother used to moan about trying to get congealed butter beans out of the pocket?was at a school where you had to clear your plate or sit and look at it till the bell went!

They cover up the important bits, back and front. (well, back almost)

Less washing too. Not so much material.

They're skimpy!

prefer these myself

Fit fine under my tummy.

I like my drawers to be a bit pretty!

Lully, I think we went to the same school. I remember mum buying my bottle green knickers from the outfitters in Hounslow. Was it Abernethies? Think that was the name. She asked for the largest size, to see me through from 11 to 15, when I left. Horrid things.

I have to have the higher waist ones these days. I stocked up on very similar ones to these from Morrisons although the waist band is only about an inch. No seams and lovely and comfy. I can't remember now if they were £2 or £3 a pair.

Sorry, I think they are horrible. I wouldn't be seen dead or alive in them.

I wear matching (pretty) bra and briefs, like a bikini. I have never found either uncomfortable, nor do I find the briefs slip. Put them on in the morning, take them off at night and more or less forget about them after that.

I wore bottle green knickers with a pocket too Lully ! We might know each other

I like the boxer short type. You don't get a VPL with them.

You needed a pocket in your knickers so you could blow your nose when playing ( avoiding ) hockey with a green cotton grecian dress on top.

Ah, thank you.
Most knickers now are not much bigger than a hanky!

I wore navy blue school knickers, with a pocket. I gave up keeping hankies in the pocket because I kept losing them in the loo.....

Handkerchief.

They are black lemongrove, and the picture doesn't really do them justice. They do other colours yes.

I'm intrigued by the pocket.
Did you actually keep anything in there?
Was there a specific item it was made for?

Remind me of our school knickers. Bottle green with a pocket and a sensible gusset.

Lully, you can't beat a sensible gusset !! Why we had pockets in our knickers I don't know, it's not as if we would be hoisting our school skirts up if we needed to blow our noses !!

They remind me of the knickers we wore at school. They were a delightful shade of bottle green with a pocket and a sensible gusset.

Am all for comfort ( although my undies have to have some lace on) but the grey colour is off putting....do they do other colours?

Foreign make? Are you in UK?
