The seller says they've stopped making them. DAMN!!! :D :D :D
Talk about Scary Clown Syndrome....
when I see stuff like those underwear, i wonder about the life of ER doctors and nurses.. seeing lots of people unexpectedly in their underwear!
I get to see more than my share of underwear at my job, too. Do y'all know what your daughters are wearing? Ewwwww. Back in the day, *adults* didn't wear those g-strings every day, let alone 12 and 13 year old girls!!!
Meanwhile the boys are wearing compression shorts down to their knees with sliders or boxers over that and knee-length basketball shorts over THAT, and obsessively pulling their shorts legs to cover every scrap of skin above the knee.
See, I can't imagine wearing anything else. I honestly can't find a pair of full coverage undies that are *cute* and won't ride up my butt.Quote:

Since my undies always end up in my crack, I figure just let them start there. Why fight it?
Plus, panty lines are not good.
I see your point. But nobody ever mentions "thong lines"- I see plenty of those through skirts and snug pants, and why are they any better than "panty lines"? :confused:Quote:

and while we're at it, what are compression shorts?
everytime a young girl bends over and i see she's got a thong
i cringe. Seems like a great way to get yeast infections and
stuff, concentrating the heat and friction there like that!
Well, they aren't.Quote:

If you can see someone's thong through their skirt... they need to put a slip on.
And if the pants are so thin and tight the thong outline can been seen... those pants are probably too small... or so poor quality they never should have been purchased.
My undergarments are not seen by anyone... I always make sure of that. Young girls though, don't always care or know any better.
Wow, did this thread ever take an interesting turn! Underwear? heh. Why bother?
My thoughts about the original thread, though, are that relationships are all very complex and I really couldn't possibly comment on what Lisa ought to do or ought not to do (until she had talked to her brother on Christmas Day).
I grew up in a dysfunctional catholic family and am the only one who has opted out of that chaos and misery for the long term - including all holidays. They don't know me, I don't understand or like them, so why bother pretending, especially at this time of year?
DH and I do spoil each other each year, and it's fun between us, but possibly the best gift this year was the warm wishes from our new friends in our new town, and knowing that possibly next year we'll spend Christmas with them so we can all be away from people who hurt and instead be with people we cherish.
As usual, the ladies of TE have some excellent ideas for meaningful, simple, enjoyable Christmas gift exchanges. As always, you ladies rock!
Merry Everything to each of you!
Hugs and butterflies,

KSH. I'm very sad to hear that no one gets to see your underwear. I agree that the public should not see your underwear, but maybe someone special:pQuote:

I agree with KSH. I could never wear any other kind of underwear except a thong. Why did thongs get to be seen as something bad or gross? The original intention was so you would not see the disgusting panty lines of regular underwear. If someone's thong is showing, then their pants, skirt, or thong is too small or tight. I go to a real lingerie store to buy my underwear. They were the first place that lead me to brands that aren't constricting and don't show above low waisted pants or other wardrobe issues. Otherwise, I might have to go without!!! And nobody wants to see a 53 year old woman without underwear...
HA! HA! :)Quote:

Acutally, that is all my boyfriend has ever seen on me. I have some ugly granny panties I wear to sleep in... and in 3 years I made sure he hasn't seen me in them. :D
This is hilarious. Your boyfriend has only ever seen you in underwear?Quote:

Oh... I think I have painted myself into a corner here.... :p
So why are panty lines "disgusting" or gross? Nobody seems to think much when they see bra lines through the back of a blouse- you see them everywhere. I guess if you can see bumpy edges of EITHER thongs or panties sticking up underneath a skirt or pants then maybe your pants or skirt are form fitting or thin. I'm not talking SEE THROUGH pants or skirt here- just visible bump lines. My point was that one can often see thong bump-lines on women below the waist in the back when they're wearing polyesther pants and silky skirts- perhaps they don't realize that they are not avoiding panty lines altogether. :rolleyes:Quote:

Ahem... my husband sure does! ;)Quote:

A brief (no pun intended) history of the Thong:
http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Histor...hong&id=118796
I'm glad to know other 50+ year olds also wear thongs. They surely are cooler in the summer! When I first started wearing them, my DH made this comment, "A woman your age should wear regular underwear." I've made him change his tune. And if people think they are "racy", that's great! I like it. (My 2 younger sisters even wear panties under panty-hose--too much material around my stomach.)
I don't mind adults wearing them, but I'm old enough that g-strings have connotations. And when I see a patient younger than my son wearing a g-string, it shocks me a bit.
I do think it's funny that these girls are wearing g-strings sticking out of the tops of their pants, but the boys the same age are wearing 3 layers of shorts and trying to keep from showing anything.
No toothfloss between MY buttocks (and other parts of anatomy). I wore one once for a wedding (yes, with something on top of it - a slinky dress!!) - never, ever again.
I agree that that's ironic, but it's not something they/we don't see all the time. Watch a few movies or dopey sitcoms and you'll see it everywhere--the guys are dressed in layers of t-shirts, shirts, sweaters, maybe a jacket on top, and the women are in...tank tops, or at the most some skimpy little pullover. That--especially the message it sends to kids--just pi$$es me off.Quote:

Lise, I don't know why we generally think it's OK to see a bra line and not a panty line. I think there's 2 distinct issues here. One is when women wear thongs that stick out above the top of their pants, so you actually see the underwear and the other is just seeing panty lines of any type of underwear. I was describing the bulgy, panty line issue when discussing my original intention for wearing thongs. Generally this issue is worse when people wear pants and underwear that is too tight, or they are overweight. Any kind of underwear. I understand what you and others are talking about when you describe people (younger girls in particular) walking around with various parts of underwear, thongs, bras sticking out. We are having a major problem at school with girls wearing tight t shirts, with low cleavages, and a camisole underneath, that just doesn't cover up the cleavage. One mother we called said it was none of our business if her daughter dressed like that (this girl has C+ to D size boobs). Legally, we really can't tell anyone what to wear, but when i put the kids in literature groups with a girl dressed like that, the boys cannot focus. They get silly and weird; they are 12 and 13, and it's really hard for them to ignore a girl dressed like this. We were able to discuss this intelligently with other mothers who had no idea that their daughters were coming to school like this (they changed somewhere between home and school). Generally, I am against censoring things like this (I was the girl who came to school in jeans when we were not allowed to wear pants in the 60s), but it is distracting and it just sends the wrong message.
So, yes, I understand what some are upset about, but I wouldn't give up my thongs for anything. I hate underwear in general and have never worn it under ANY exercise clothes, long before I started cycling.
I was just taught that gentlemen and ladies do not let the presence of their underwear be known - either through, above or below the outer clothing. If your clothes fit and you wore a slip or camisole, this isn't a problem. Of course, with too tight clothing leaving nothing to the imagination these days that has become a bit harder. There are also a lot of people that confuse the terms woman and lady, and man and gentleman.
A lady has neither VPL nor a muffin top - and the men I hang out with generally have a laughing attack when they see these. And the reverse is true when I see boxer shorts up to the waist and jeans barely defying gravity. Oh yeah, and pajama pants in public. What, you can't manage to shower and put on clean clothes once a day?
I'm just confused as to why people put so much money into clothing that doesn't fit - too loose or too tight. Neither is comfortable or hygienic.
Can someone tell me how a thong is better than going commando?
For the record, I do wear underwear, except when cycling. But I always wonder why spend the money on a thong when you can achieve the same result by not wearing anything?
Kate,
(who needs to be enlightened to the merits of certain undergarments) ;)
I will just chime in (as always, sorry y'all) about how much I love women's boxer-brief compression shorts as underwear. Ibex Roaster Boxers and UnderArmor 4 inch inseam compression shorts are my favorites.
No VPL. No creepy-crawlies.
Lisa S H graciously sent me the Toto basket. It just arrived today, and I think it's going to be totally adorable on my 1973 Schwinn 5 speed. As soon as I get it all together, I'll post a picture. So, Lisa, thank you so very much. You can tell your brother--and anyone else--that the basket is greatly appreciated and will be a much better basket than my smashed one that was there before. There are some really super nice ladies on TE!
Susan
Susan, thank YOU for turning this experience into a happy one for me as well! The Toto basket looks PERFECT on your vintage Schwinn- a match made in Heaven. :)Quote:
