How Old is Your Underwear?

flopstock · Post by **flopstock** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 7:19 pm

Not at all interested in how long you've had them on this week...:p

How long do you go between purchases? Is it a set amount of time? A certain number of holes? A level of dinginess? Where you are in a relationship as regards needing to impress the partner?

I'm way overdue, I think. Part of my problem is that I prefer commando... so even if I happen to pass undergarments in a store I tend not to even glance that way..

The good ones are fairly new, have been purchased in last 3 months. The once a month ones are little older and more religious.

Because when you go to pull on clean undies and you have 6 or seven holes to put you feet through rather then the traditional 3, i have to believe i missed a memo somewhere, ya know?:rolleyes:

And all these evasive answers!:yh_eyerol

Very straight forward questions IMHO and even Miss Honesty Chonsi can't give it up:rolleyes:

I don't care when you last bought them... how long before that last purchase and is it a drawnout thoughtfilled purchase like JABS?:p

Your underwear comes with 3 holes? I thought was just men's underwear. :-3

Let's try to solve this one right now, girlie...

How many legs do you have?

Alternately we can all remove our undies and do a hole check...

You know bra's only have a life of six months though, worn regularly.

No, only if I think I might get lucky :wah:

I do buy matching sets though, they don't always make a matching pair onto my body though.

My wife keeps telling me that I should buy some new underwear. I must own 20 pair of bikini briefs in different colors, stripes, patterns etc. and none have holes or are worn out. It's been two years since I have purchased any.

Marks & spencers is my undie supplier........'Brigitte Jones' style I'm afraid as comfort is my priority ! Probably buy new ones every 6 months or so but I did buy new ones when I went on holiday....ditched some old ones though. My philosophy when buying clothes is 'one in , one out'....charity shops do well when I'm in shopping mode.

sunny104 · Post by **sunny104** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 9:01 am

some are probably years old....

but I keep them as long as they look good.

I tend to always check the undie section when I'm out shopping so I always have new ones as well. :-6

Well, tbh flopster....I don't have a set time, but I'd probably say 6 months to a year, but I rarely throw them out until they are just disgusting....

I am guilty of commando also, so I don't wear them daily...only if wearing a dress and for other (unmentionable women) reasons.....

I have old underwear in my dresser that I can't fit into that are my "dream undies"...some-day I'll fit into those tiger print victoria secret undies....grrrr...someday!!!

The little wisp of Parisian lace one wears Down Under should at all times match the little whisp of Parisian lace which decorates one's decolletage. And the colours should of course coordinate with other garments (in case of an accident). This means a lot of shopping as it's also de rigueur not to be seen twice in the same unmentionables. (And regularly turning over one's wisps is less tiring than regularly turning over one's menfolk - though there may be something to be said for that too.)

Addition: If the said intimate apparel is edible as well - and mine only sometimes is - it never really has a chance to get old!

Flora · Post by **Flora** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 10:25 pm

Personally, I can't get enough of underwear shopping. I'm a tad obsessed. but I say, if you love commando, then do it. Spend you money on something else. But do you find it's a bit colder in winter?

flopstock · Post by **flopstock** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 6:02 am

you'll all be happy to hear that I bought new bras and underwear over the weekend...

kinda unfortunate that the tags on the old stuff were so faded... if not for that -i may have come home with the right sizes...:rolleyes:

try stuff on - you say??:eek:

no way... that would require i spend more then 7.5 minutes shopping...:yh_bigsmi

You should be ashamed of yourself, you have to try on bra's, they are all different from brand to brand. :wah::wah:

I wear mine for years until it's totally unwearable ( meaning torn, straps are very, very loose, the elastic has stretched out to its fullest limit,holes, etc.) Faded underwear doesn't bother me one bit.

However, when underwear is on sale, I do buy it sometimes. I don't buy underwear at its regular price ( because it's expensive).

Just got new bras & underwear from Santa. Other than that I'd say 6 months old and they get tossed.

Kindle · Post by **Kindle** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 10:19 am

I replace panties yearly when underwear goes on sale, either the end of Dec or beginning of Jan. Just purchased 10 pair of new panties yesterday.

Then I'll buy about four more around Valentines day, just cause they seem to be prettiest then. Two weeks worth seems to work best for me.

I will then wear the older ones once more and toss all but a few which I'll launder and place in the back of the drawer -- for backup, for a time when I might fall behind on my washer-women duties.

Bra's are another matter. I hate wearing them. I never wear them at home and when the doorbell rings our company needs to wait while I run and put one on. I've been mulling about having to get new ones for over a month now. I'm thinking of going to a specialty bra shop and getting myself professionally fitted, but I'm still working myself up to this ordeal. For some reason I've gone overly long in replacing them this past year and I really must handle this soon.

2003, I bought two identical packs of five in a sale in Woolworths. There's a red pair and a blue pair and a white pair and a green pair and a black pair. I don't iron them.
