Also just read a thing about the dreaded visible panty line. People aren’t wearing the right size. Mayim Bialik just wrote a thing about being handed a pair of underwear two sizes too big from what she wore. They not only fit, they didn’t cause muffin top or spillage. She had no clue she was wearing the wrong size.
Often wondered why we cared if a panty line showed; so what, people know you're wearing underwear and why do they care?

Glad you got many pairs blare. I can go days without changing. Just don't be messy and 2 to 4 days is fine as wine.

If you are wearing a silk, or silky skirt, then you need to wear a nylon version of underwear. You need to have some sort of slip action or the silk may crawl up. I don’t want to be yanking your skirt down every 20 minutes.

My mother had lots of underwear rules. She was the Leroy Jethro Gibbs of underwear.
You had a very instructive mom.

This is the most interesting and least disgusting line of this thread, So far.
I'll have to try that someday, with a clean pair of course.

oh, I can wear socks for a few days and yes, I too like to wear a long lounging outfit around the house from time to time with nothing on under it. I have a couple of outfits I wear in winter the same way: take a shower in early afternoon, slip into lounger and that is how I dress the rest of the day.

So many truly perverted people in the world.

I had no idea.
I'm assuming they are the same people who don't shower or bathe every day. What grosses me out is people who go commando but wear the same pair of pants more than once. Essentially, if you're not wearing undies, your pants have become underwear so unless you wash them every time you wear them, it's just gag inducing.

Visible Panty Line. As part of an advertising campaign (marketing ploy) for pantyhose with a built in cotton "panty" portion, VPL was introduced as an embarrassing fashion faux pas. In other words you don't want people to be able to see the outline of your panties through your clothes.

Some females actually dress to show off their VPL, Ive seen some wearing white pants/shorts and bright red or black undies, although its usually the bikini type or thong.

I don't know if it has changed any in the last few decades, but back then, water survival training involved removing your pants and using them as a flotation device. There were a few red faces (including my own, when I realized what the girls were giggling about).

I was new to a particular job, had only been with the company a couple of weeks. One day, I wore a dress to work, that was ankle length. I did NOT wear underwear or a slip, but I DID have pantyhose on.


I'm on my break with everyone else, feeling a little awkward because I didn't really know anyone yet. I'm trying to stand discretely away from everyone, standing by the front door of this office building.


Well, the office building had a revolving door, and as two guys came through the door, it created a strong enough breeze that it blew the front of my dress up. EVERYBODY in front of me saw it. I quickly pushed the front of my dress down, which caused the back of my dress to fly up and over my head. The two guys coming through the door go "Ooh la la!" and everyone starts to laugh. Except me. I was mortified.


I considered letting that be my last day at that company. LOL But then I figured "Oh heck, if there was anyone there who'd never seen a woman's body parts, it was high time they did!" And I got over it. LOL
