TS: Thongs vs. Bikini underwear OR Describe Your Underwear of Choice

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I used to think I was vanilla for preferring women in white cotton underwear to women in thongs. Recently, I've felt that I'm a bit of a perv for my preference. Anyway -- I find nothing sexier than a woman in white cotton bikini underwear.

Don't get me wrong, thongs are great, too, but nowhere near as exciting.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 13 November 2003 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Amen to you, Jeanne.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 13 November 2003 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

you're my soulmate, Jeanne.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 November 2003 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I love finding kindred spirits.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 13 November 2003 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't imagine what my "fat ass" (to use Kristian K's term) would look like in a thong. Bikini all the way.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 13 November 2003 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Thongs are scary.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 13 November 2003 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't fit my hairy fat-ass in either anymore. :(

Soooo boxers! :)

Elvis liked girls in tidy-whites too, Jeanne.

I don't like thongs at all, on me or anyone else. Thin cotton is miles sexier.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 November 2003 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

also I find that size 10 girls' underwear fit me much better than womens' underwear; talk about feeling pervy!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 November 2003 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

That's a great tip, teeny. I'm not entirely surprised. For example, Victoria's Secret string bikini underwear is (overpriced and) saggy in the back. Not comfortable nor fun-looking.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 13 November 2003 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

yes! saggy in the back! I don't have a big rump to fill out women's underwear yet; I'm just glad I finally developed breasts! And all the girls' underwear are so cute and cheap. Also little boy's underwear is cute too, I mean my god, y-front spiderman underroos, come on!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 November 2003 17:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I like underwear that reaches about an inch or two below my belly button/waist and is not too high cut in the thighs.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 13 November 2003 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm a boxer man....and have a very hard time parting with them, even if they're slowly shredding beyond the point of utility.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I just realized I haven't bought new gotch (that's what we called underwear in Canada) in over a year.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i wear tighties sometimes to keep the boys in check.

I know I'm covering material that bad standup comics have used for years, but DAMN, what is it with you guys and your holey undies??

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

my boys are always in check because I wasn't afraid to show them a little discipline when they were young.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know teeny - I have boxers I can only wear when I'm sure there's no chance of them being seen (sadly I can wear them pretty often)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

who here goes commando? how is that not uncomfortable?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I like thongs.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

(goes commando?)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Jockeys for me, please. keeps the boys snug, lots of coverage.

― Jay Dee Sah Mon (Kingfish), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a few rotted pairs of boxers i still wear. one pair has a giant hole from the taint up, but they make for good summer drawers.

― Chris B. Sure (Chris V), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I wear boxer-briefs even though they're overpriced. They fit well under pants, but don't restrict things like tighty-whiteys. Plus they look great.

As for women, the prevalence of thongs is seemingly overwhelming, making bikini underwear perv-worthy. I like both, or rather, I prefer it when a woman has both in her, uh, arsenal.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Chris, every so often I remember that you're planning on kids and that one day they're going to be Net searching and find descriptions of your boxers like this. It makes me happy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

They'll love their father.

― Chris B. Sure (Chris V), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Little kids' underpants are grebt! It's hilarious to see how guys react when they realise that Spiderman is on your ass.

I usually wear bikinis in my preferred colours of red, white, and black. Girly, flowery patterns and pastels are not for me. I don't think thongs are sexy.

― Sarah Pedal (call mr. lee), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I like wearing thongs because they feel sporty. But my staple underwear is "french-cut" briefs--they keep things covered and controlled, but don't look like granny-panty full briefs. I prefer black, because I think white looks so little-girlish. In the spirit of the summer cartoon panties thread, the other day I saw some Felix the Cat undies, but they didn't come large enough for me. Boo hiss.

And I don't like bikinis or hipsters because on me they have a tendency to ride down, and I mean all the way down, to where I might as well have gone commando.

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

What about those Victoria's Secret boy-pants things that are boxerish but tight and lacy?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:05 (twenty-one years ago)

they look good but sometimes they can be a bit too, um, stimulating.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:40 (twenty-one years ago)

wooo! fun at work!

― Jay Dee Sah Mon (Kingfish), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

ah I knew my girlfriend must like them so much for a reason

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a pair of Victoria's secret boylike panties. I guess they were a bit shaped like old swim bottoms. Anyway, I thought they were kind of neat and art deco like but the bf did not take to them at all.

I like to wear cotton panties. I have a bajillion different colors and patterns so I always have a pair that I feel like wearing that day (outfit tends to coordinate with them of course!).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

count me in with the white-cotton preference on girls. if I was with a woman and she had Spiderman on her ass I think I'd faint from joy.

as for me, commando, for the past eight years.

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I love white undies, but they look dingy even after just one wash. I sure wish some housewife lady would approach me at the laundromat with a huge smile and show me which product to use to keep my whites white and my colors bright. *sigh*

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Sarah are you talking about the pinkish ones? I like those!

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

ha ha. No, they were navy, remember? But I guess the pinkish ones (they actually have polka dots too, but they're very subtle) are kind of like that too. AT least, they aren't bikinis.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 13 November 2003 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

(well, not white cotton, just cotton. colors rock. and silver! oh my god, I knew a couple women who had silver underwear and...um, heart attack time)

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 13 November 2003 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I wear thongs mostly - I just like them.

I also have spiderman and the punisher slightly boy leg panties (as evidenced by this thread: "cartoon summer panties"

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 13 November 2003 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 13 November 2003 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a spiderman pair, but the motley crue pair is my favorite.

Matos must run free like a wild pony.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 13 November 2003 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember watching a night court when I was a kid where it was revealed john laroquette's character went commando and finding that hiliariously 'risque'

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 13 November 2003 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

as for me, commando, for the past eight years.

But WHY, Matos?

(not that there's anything wrong with it, I usually do it when I'm out of clean laundry, but is there a rationale?)

This is one of the most rediculous revolting trends ever (who wants to draw attention to their buttocks???) and can be chalked up to fallout from the j-lo factor. Maybe.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I've gotten bored with thongs in general usually. It is better to sleep in bikini + tshirt than it is to sleep in thong + tshirt. And I am generally too lazy to put on actual sleeping clothes.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm very happy with the three-pack of cotton (not cotton+spandex, thank you) bikinis and string bikinis from 0ld Navy. Affordable, thin, low on waist. I can't ask for anything more, well, except maybe some fun colors. They only come in white, gray, and black.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Has anybody here tried the Anti-Panti?

"Anti-Panti is an adhesive-backed cotton disc that sticks to the inside of your pants and eliminates the need to wear underwear."

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 20 August 2004 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

for girls bikini>>>>thongs.

i love superhero underwear on my girlfriend.

i wear a mix of boxers, briefs, and boxer briefs.

anti-panti makes me think of 3day underwear.

― AaronK (AaronK), Friday, 20 August 2004 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I hadn't realised there was a need to wear underwear, so I cannot imagine how that thing eliminates it.

I also can't believe I took some time to actually read through the whole thread (first time, sadly enough).

Color me disbelieving yet AGAIN, because I'm going to post this: part of my anti-buttless undies stance is due to my having a stereotypically Latina big boom boom. This is a boom boom that needs to be covered, ladies and gents.

i only wear boxers as pajamas, and even then i have my briefs on underneath!
commando is vile (at least for dudes) i should try those boxer brief things.....

― gershy, Sunday, 1 April 2007 20:53 (eighteen years ago)

Why does this whole thread think that thongs are worn to impress? They're not, they're worn to eradicate panty lines from the face of the earth, and quite frankly more people should try them. Especially since we're going into spring/summer, the season of lightweight and light-colored fabrics (I cannot believe some of the things I've seen under white pants GAWD). But whatever, underwear is just more laundry to do and one more item to find/don in the morning, and you know how lazy I am. Forget it.

― Laurel, Sunday, 1 April 2007 21:10 (eighteen years ago)

They are called "hipsters" on the label, which is hilarious. Cheap cotton lower-slung bikini briefs, mos defs undies of choice. I coould give a fuck abt the VPL, lack of VPL is an unrealistic expectations and it's not like I'm on the Oscar runway. In the summer I just wear skirts anyway, khakis et. al. make me feel like a drive-in theatre screen.

If I were a dude I know I'd wear boxer briefs. i don't get wtf is up w/fly-free male boxers tho.

― Abbott, Sunday, 1 April 2007 21:34 (eighteen years ago)

I actually didn't even think anyone found panties a really big deal until I saw High Fidelity!

― Abbott, Sunday, 1 April 2007 21:35 (eighteen years ago)

i don't know any guy who cares about VPL, only complaints i've heard come from catty gay dudes

― gershy, Sunday, 1 April 2007 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think general avoidance of VPL has anything to do with what men think...? I abhor it because it's indiscreet and I don't want the entire world behind me on the sidewalk or escalator to think about my undergarments, plus it's a distraction from the rest of my person/presentation.

― Laurel, Sunday, 1 April 2007 21:50 (eighteen years ago)

I'm with you on not caring too much about VPL. I own precisely two thongs which I haven't worn in ages. I would never wear white pants so that's not really a concern. Undergarments of choice = vs body by victoria biknis or some jockey style that doesn't produce any lines at all.

― ENBB, Sunday, 1 April 2007 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

i agree with laurel about the panty line issue. thongs are generally more comfortable too.
