IDK Judy Good started the discussion. It's a topic we've done before......as well as bras.

Geeeeeezzzzz...

I don't see that topic as any different than discussing what types of shoes people like to wear.

I missed it entirely. We have had similar discussions in the past. I can't see a reason why it would be deleted just because of the topic.

Oh, come *ON*! Tell me this is just a 'goof'.

I still chuckle when I fold laundry, remembering the post about someone's little children helping her fold. She showed them how to fold "Mommy's panties", so naturally they asked how to fold "Daddy's panties".

Someone get their panties in a wad? ;-0

I didn’t see an underwear post.

So what was the question/concern? Style? Fabric? Or lack thereof?

i like cotton. I was buying Hanes, but Victoria’s Secret has a new cotton style I really like. I bought 2 to try but now I wish I had bought 10. Hip huggers or hipsters.

I buy whatever is on sale.

When I was working through my 20's and 30's my underwear would match my outfit but only I knew and that was enough. If my outfit was something feminine and frilly well then yes, I would wear feminine and frilly panties, if my outfit was more classic then again..... and colours always coordinated in and out.

Then when kids came along I was just thankful if they were somewhat decent looking.

"Daddy's panties", now that's funny. About fell out of my chair.

My number one goal is comfort!

Didn't see the post either, but then I was probably getting ready for work and am now at work. Slow night tonight. Have half my Christmas cards done.

I like Soma panties. They're the only ones I buy anymore. They don't ride up and they last a long time. I buy them on sale because they are super expensive.

I used to buy Victoria's secret cotton panties but since I, um, outgrew them, I buy Hanes. I could probably fit into VS again but now I am used to hanes. I like my undies cotton,comfy, and colorful.

I have no idea where it went. I am the original PO and I did not delete it.

IME, the OP gets more scrutiny than subsequent posts so if the OP contained an 'objectionable' word that may be why it was deleted...though it may appear again later if the human judges deem it ok.

Whenever people are talking panties, I can't help but be reminded of this scene from Anatomy of a Murder...great movie.

Annie, that’s great.

I only wear them when I have to go to the doctor.

Annie, that was priceless.

Annie, now I have to go get that movie!

Annie that was great!

LOL at Marilyn!! Whatever floats your boat.

I don't pee on myself like a lot of women, so no need for pads, and I find them uncomfortable.

@ Kathsgrdn: I just checked out the Soma panties. Would you share which of the panties your prefer. I want to try them.

I don't pee on myself either. Does that mean I've been wasting time and money all these years by wearing boxer shorts? I don't think so.

(There's no limit to the kind of silly ideas some people have)

I think wearing no underwear would take some getting used too...I don't think I'd like my clothing right up against my crotch TBH. I like the layer from undies, thin as it may be between me and my clothes.

Yup, for me those beautiful and sexy underwear go by the wayside at a certain size but I do applaud anyone who wears them. I'm pretty much for comfort and ease of care (hate hand washing and all that jazz with those delicate garments).

Talk about silly ideas....what's it to you, Elmer? I never knew it was a prerequisite. Had I known....if only I had known....damn! I never considered it anyone's business, but since it was asked. Going now to put on my underwear so Elmer won't find me silly. If I had only known......

Marilyn-c, can I come with you? I understood you perfectly.

Marilyn-c you know we all love you for who and what you are and respect you. Elmer is ridiculous and judgmental, please don't let his inane ramblings affect your self esteem.

Lucille, the last thing we need to worry about is Marilyn's self esteem! She is mighty fierce.

Lucille, the big meaningless "J" word. Do I need to put that on my shirt? Like Hester's "A", which was more a symbol of the perpetrators than the victim.

You prefer knowing people with no views and no opinions then, I guess.

When I was in college, I took an out of town trip of a few days length with a girl I was dating at the time. We stopped at a gas station for gas and to use the bathrooms. When she came back, she was laughing. I asked what was so funny, she said her mother told her to never use gas station bathrooms because doing so leads to bladder infections. She used the bathroom and was reminded of her mother's ignorant and ridiculous caution. As luck would have it, she got a bladder infection about a week later and when she told her mother, the first question was whether she's used a toilet in a gas station. She fibbed and said "No, of course not".

She didn't pee on herself either but wore underwear. Nice stuff, as I recall.

Some people just do not have a filter's or social skills. I hear and read it everyday.

Well said, Patriceny!

I have to wonder why Elmer even felt it necessary to comment at all on a thread that was intended for comments from female members.............Personally, his opinion in what females may prefer in the way of undergarments - if they choose to wear them at all - is of no interest to me at all! Who cares what he thinks?

Lest I sound like a broken record: Don’t feed the trolls.

I don't think he's a troll littlebug. Unless you mean me? :) Sometimes the troll is the last to know, you know. Ha ha.

I think I would enjoy his company, in real life. I like debating stuff, he's got great knowledge on all kinds of interesting stuff, has really fascinating life experiences.

None of us are perfect. I've seen Elmer comment about this and I think he has some awareness that it's one of his quirks.

No, I don’t mean you, Patrice. Persistent little digs and innuendos given purely for the sake of antagonizing posters or illicit a sharp response gets tiresome.

Very thoughtful comments, patrice.

Many, including a number of regulars here, can't tell the difference between an opinion and a fact, as you say. For some, certain mistaken ideas are viewed as being true because the person BELIEVES them to be true. Contradictory information is ignored or even attacked. When I encounter that, I usually stop and walk away because truth will rarely dislodge a mistaken belief someone is clinging to. That was why I commented with intended humor and also shared a misinformed belief that I thought to be equally silly, that of my then-girlfriend's mother, as another example.

I do respect thoughtful opinions that I disagree with. I don't respect those that come from someone parroting something they heard without further processing of their own, as is so common with political things these days. I'll try to be mindful of your comments.

There is a small number of boo birds who like to pounce on me when there's disagreement about something I've said, and a few who like to be personally insulting. It's predictable, the membership is predictable, and their conduct by itself discourages anyone from taking their comments seriously. I mostly ignore them and I suspect many others do too.

I'm impressed with your response Elmer. Thank you. You bring an interesting viewpoint to the KT and I hate to see it get overwritten by fracases. Fracasi? Oh heck....quarrels!! LOL.

Marilyn-c does not wear underpants because she finds them uncomfortable and she has no need to wear a pad-something that has to be stuck to underpants- so she doesn't wear them for that. This is a plain statement of facts and none of it silly. It was the silly label that was excess to need in my opinion because it is a personally directed opinion. Still in the great scheme of things it is a trivial difference-in my opinion.

I used to frequently wear none. I wore dresses because they were cooler and I have always been prone to rashes-very uncomfortable-so optimal air was a good thing. I didn't wear bras either or slips at home in the summer. I did wear all the usual when I left home. This was all about being comfortable working in my garden. Now I live in the PNW which has relatively little humidity, it is cool most of the year and I don't do the same type of work in my yard-the heavy physical labor-and I don't wear dresses now. I prefer a good thick cotton with the elastic enclosed in fabric as I am allergic to elastic. Men have much better options than women. Our stuff is so flimsy by comparison and way more expensive.

Riding a horse can be rather, um "abrasive" in that lower area. Before several manufacturers came out with female undergarments for riding, many of us wore men's whitie tighties for comfort and absorbency.
