Okay I was over at a friend's yesterday and she was showing me some thong underwear she bought in the wrong size. I was absolutely rolling laughing because she paid $8.00 PER PAIR for these underwear and for $8.00, I can get a 7 pack of granny cotton underwear! Now yes my friend is like a size 5 and I am a plus size, but oh man I can't imagine that piece of fabric where it goes!

So later a friend of hers come over and we start having a discussion about whether or not we even WEAR underwear! I was laughing so hard I was choking! Needless to say, my DH being the only guy there was rolling laughing. He was trying to hook up her computer printer and her VCR and he was like not paying attention, but you know he heard every word! Good thing he has a sense of humor - actually I think he was taking it all in!

So here is my unofficial poll: Thong, granny or what?



Oops I forgot to answer - I wear hi-cut cotton briefs. White under most of my pants, some colored under jeans or at home under my jammies.

Thong all the way baby! And I just bought a cute pair of Mossy Oak camo thongs too! I have worn thongs since I got out of high school, the only time I didn't wear them was when I was preggers.

Okay this is funny - 17 people viewed my post but no one has answered?!

The only kind of undies that I do not wear are granny panties and super lowcut bikinis. Everything else has its time and place - bikinis, hipsters, high-cut briefs, thongs.

ETA - A poll may have given you more responses from your views!

Thongs 80% of the time. Boycut / tangas 20%

__________________

Bikinis 100% of the time (even during both pregnancies - they fit right below my big belly)! DH bought me a thong about 3-4 years ago for Christmas. I've never worn in! I did put it on once, but I can't stand it!

I can't stand thongs or granny panties! My favorite type are bikini style...or high cut briefs... ~Lisa

thongs 100% of the time. I only like the Victoria's Secret lace "pink" thongs. You don't even know you have them on and unlike some thongs, no panty lines. I found the regular cotton VS thongs leave lines along the elastic. I HATE granny panties or high waist briefs. I find they crawl into places they do not belong a lot more often and are a lot more uncomfy than a thong becuase you are comstantly picking at them!I actually discovered the joy of a thong when I was preggo with kid #1 (over 9 years ago). They stayed in place best and went under my belly perfect...plus, DH likes them

Funny note: my now 6 year old DD asked me last year "at what age will my panties have no butt?" LOL

I discovered "boy shorts" a few years ago and love them. I do wear just about everything else too though. With the exception of granny panties, way to much fabric.

On a side note, I'm a plus size girl too and I wear thongs. The trick is not buying the cheap ones. The only ones that fit right usually cost a more. I don't know why but they do.

:sigh: I guess I have to weigh in.....I'm a granny panty wearer....hangs head in shame.
I love them.

Are hi-cut briefs considered granny panties? You know like Just My Size brand? They come in all kinds of cute colors/designs.

I had been wearing thongs for a very long time......I stopped recently (will probably go back to wearing them again)

But, I love the hipsters, boyshorts, and now victoria secrets carries "cheeky", which I love

**cheeky~~> like a boyshort, but your cheeks show (more than a little....lol)

granny panties most of the time. I have to wear white scrub pants every day for work and thongs ( aka butt floss) dont work. you can see through the back of the scrub pants. if I am not working, sometimes, none , sometimes thongs. just according to the mood I am in.

I love my thongs and boyshorts.........it just depends on my mood! When my oldest daughter first started noticing the different styles of underwear, she couldn't understand "wedgy" underwear.

Bikinis or Hi cuts here--
Question for all you thong gals-- does it cover what it should? What about that time of the month?
Just curious... never could bring myself to try them!

I don't wear any unless I'm wearing a dress/skirt...then I wear lace boy shorts.

a traditional woman doesn't talk about these things, and always wears the proper undergarments, no wonder so many can't keep their man!

I typically go commando as well.....

ProudUSAmom, if youre so offended then dont read Obviously we are comfortable sharing.

I wear thongs 90% of the time...and boyshorts the other 10%. I only wear boyshort when I am going to the gym to work out....afraid with loose shorts I might show off more than I should....so I feel more comfortable knowing I am well covered under my shorts. I love my thongs...must admit the first time I wore one it drove me crazy. But I triend a few different styles of thongs and now I won't wear anything else.

I don't wear any at all, unless it's that time of the month. I can't stand underwear at all.
AND I didn't wear any the entire time I was preggo either.

I see I am not alone with my commando status.

hahaha, what an interesting topic.

Mine depends on my mood. I guess my panty drawer must look bizarre, there's one of everything. Oh well ,variety is the spice of life. But , I will add, usually the thongs are worn when going out with BF!! He of course thinks they are heaven sent.

For that time of the month I use tampons with a carefree thong pantiliner.

I am an equal opportunity panty wearer. Usually depends on what is clean and put away (if none or in I'm in a hurry-I go without). I stopped wearing giant panties after my youngest was born. I found it motivating to buy smaller sexier panties as I lost the weight.

Rebecca

I wear hipsters. Preferable the Hanes ones that came out last year. I love them, cute colors and stripes, and they also have guinea t's to match. I wore the guinea teas for about 6 months straight while on my TPN cause I couldn't find a bra that didn't intefere w/ the catheter. So comfee

Why isn't spandex an option??? lol...I wear a variety. The only time I wear a thong is when maybe I want to seduce DH. It's not on for long, which is good, cuz they are not comfy for me at all. If I am wearing my tighter jeans, I wear a tummy control panty-very sexy! I do have bikinis (not low cut, see tummy issues), and wear the more sensible Victoria Secret panty-very comfortable, and they look good under slacks. And now that you all know EVERYTHING about me, before I've even had my first cup of coffee today....

Me too. I have a drawer full of panties but I don't like panty lines or thongs so commado it is

Okay I'm the original poster here and I totally agree - you should wear the proper undergarments BUT I think it is okay to discuss it. I had no idea so many people go commando! I could never do that!

I use a diva cup so there really isn't any change in what I would wear.

Grannies for me!
Panties are for covering up your butt, etc. so that's what I use them for.

I'd like to find something more shocking to say than commando, but honestly, I like undies with butt-coverage. I'll wear anything from The Gap, preferably a size or so big, but I'll only buy them on sale.

Granny panties all the way here...anything else is uncomfortable to me.

peapie

Thongs except for during "that time" or around the house nothing.

OMG. The diva cup?
Now, Ive been around the block a time or two. but I have never heard of these...lmao

are we suppose to measure ourself's??


The DivaCup™ is available in two models:

Model 1: for women under 30 years old who have never had childbirth or c-sections.

Model 2: for women who have had vaginal childbirth or c-sections; and for women who are over 30 years old and never had childbirth.

The Model 1 cup is 1 11/16" (~4.3 cm) in diameter and the Model 2 cup is 1 13/16" (~4.6 cm) in diameter. Both cups are around 2 1/4" (~5.7 cm) in length in the body of the cup, with another 3/8" (~1 cm) stem (2 5/8" total length). The stem may be trimmed to adjust for comfort.

I didn't measure anything LOL I have had 2 kids so I have model #2. I didn't have to trim the stem but my friend had too (it was too long for her comfort). I have also use the Keeper which is similar but the Diva Cup is MUCH more comfortable. It's easier to use than toting around all the *crap* you need to with pads and tampons. I've been using it for 5 years now. No leaks, no worries, no odors...sorry if that TMI

Careful....remember what happened the last time menstrual cups were discussed here..... :-)

Somehow I think I will just stick with my tampons (no pun intended).

We've had this discussion before and I still think going without underwear is unsanitary due to a woman's normal bodily secretions

Seriously? If a woman has enough "secretions" to soak/leak out of her pants--underwear won't stop them! If a woman has that amount of "secretions", underwear is the least of her worries.

I'm sure that I'm not understanding exactly what you are saying, so please explain further, if you'd like.

Wow...I didn't realize that so many women go commando. I say, to each their own, although I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it. What i do find unbelievably gross is knowing that there are women out there who are trying on pants, shorts etc. without wearing underwear and putting them back on the rack for the rest of us lucky ones to try on. IMO it's inconsiderate, nasty, and not to mention unsanitary. ~Lisa

Well,yeah! That is gross and a woman that does that is disgusting....

If I'm trying on clothes either at home or at a store, I always wear undergarments (underwear). It's not until I OWN the clothes that I go commando! I rarely try on anything at the store--for the above stated reason: You have no idea who has tried on those clothes and what they may have left on the clothes. Which brings me to another thing: Am I the only person who washes ALL new clothes before I wear them or allow my family to wear them??
