Dorky bike gifts from clueless people

[KSH]

Back in the day, *adults* didn't wear those g-strings every day,

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.

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"?

Knotted- why are boys wearing compression shorts under their long baggy shorts and boxers??? ...clueless...

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.

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.

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

Perhaps the triathlon training has gone a little overboard and you need more balance in your life. You are a multisport kinda girl after all.

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...

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.
Me, I don't CARE if a hint of panty line shows through my pants- so what? It's not exaggerated or gross. I don't care if a bit of bra strap peeks out occasionally from my neckline either. Is there a reason I should be trying to look as though I don't wear underwear?

And nobody wants to see a 53 year old woman without underwear...

Ahem... my husband sure does!

HA! HA!

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.

This is hilarious. Your boyfriend has only ever seen you in underwear?
you need to get out more

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,
