Fun-dies



As he hung up my laundry last night, my husband commented that I was in bad need of some new underwear. (That could be because I haven’t bought any in 5 years.) He suggested with a little laugh that I might get something SEXY.

For as long as I can remember I have worn Jockey cotton hipsters in colors like white, gray, peach, even black. I also have a few pairs of Wacoal nylon briefs, also in nondescript solid colors. I am positive that nothing in my underwear drawer would qualify as sexy.

I will probably go order some of the same non-sexy functional underwear. But I thought it might be fun to surprise him with a pair or two of something a little more interesting.

So here’s where you can make yourself useful. Find a link to a pair of briefs that you think are sexy and leave the URL in your comment OR simply describe your idea of what makes underwear sexy. I welcome all comments except those like "You are too old to be thinking about sexy underwear."

Both boys and girls can play. But remember, your suggestion obviously says something about you!

I would honestly be way out of my league to even attempt to suggest what makes women's underwear sexy! That's like asking me to speak a completely different language!

Steve -- LOL! You could always say what makes men's underwear sexy. I would happily pass it along because truthfully his are as lacking as mine! (It's just that his are a lot newer.)

I think I might get a couple of these for Dr. R. ::laugh::: ...and then hide his others!!!

I knew he had made great strides in his English when we told me one hot day that he had "gone commando"! Oh my gosh, that still makes me swallow my gum!! :::Laugh:::

TMI!!!

I love this! I like both lingerie and the idea of you getting something more "fun." My suggestion is to find something that makes YOU feel sexy, desirable, and desirous (not necessarily what looks good on the mannequin). You have to try it on. Go to a store. Take a girlfriend if you like. Do NOT take your husband, or the surprise will be spoiled. I have a range of items myself, which is nice because my mood varies. I suggest getting a couple of things: one more revealing (for those times), and one more demure. I have everything from plain black (nice drape to the fabric, but not super-revealing) to lacey blue to hot red to garter belt stuff. Oh, yeah, and you'll post the photos, right? :-)

I am absolutely the wrong person to ask, seeing as how I wear big ol' granny panties. Comfort, not speed!

B - What a great topic. As someone who never strays from her solid Catholic school white bikini briefs, I am the last person to offer an opinon! HOWEVER - Go with what makes you feel good. If you feel sexy - then the undies will look sexy. We laugh at our house that the nicest lingerie we have are capri sleep pants that are hot pink with yellow rubber ducks on them! When they are put on - (without ALL the details!) there is a rubber duck dance that is too funny for words each time it is performed. It is like our mating call to just be close then we take it from there and see where each other is in terms of more action! :)

I love Hanky Panky Undies ...they are so comfy and no VPL ! they come in all colors so they're easy match with colorful bras-- I've collected lingerie for decades, and whenever anything hints at being past it's prime, out it goes. My husband knows exactly what to buy me in the lingerie dept. Makes life easier. I also like the Swiss line Hanro... nice panties and camisoles, they never seem to wear out, well worth the price. I went through a phase where I only wore this incredibly expensive silk underwear but I was in my twenties then. (I still have a few of the pieces and they still fit me!) One thing I will say--get a couple of those little zippered lingerie washer bags if you machine wash any lingerie-- (always in cold water and line dry) Those little bags are great for travel, too. Always buy more panties and bras than you need, and always pack more than you need when traveling even if you plan to hand wash as you go. --they take up so little space and it's nice to have lots of variety and colors.
I will never ever wear granny panties. ever.

For my man--I like boxer shorts, and I buy white ones from the Gap and these wonderful boxers from Abercrombie & Fitch that have really soft material in the waistband that makes them even more comfy.
I hate tidy whities since they just look like diapers.

I can see there are a lot of opinions on this topic out there. I appreciate everyone's candor and good attitude. Even the joking comments were entertaining!

I will not be posing for photos in whatever I decide to buy, but I may have a story or two in the future. Who knows?

Just FYI, this "Anon" is always your "Anon F.," and although I share many sentiments on this delicate topic with your other Anon's comments, I'll cast a vote for snug, form-fitting undies on my partner. Love to see that shape! :-)
