Well, I told Gwen that I had to ask this question, so here it is. At the least, it should provide for some colorful answers... :)

Nothing that makes you feel like you're being squeezed slowly by a boa constrictor. Nothing with electric lights. Actually, I don't like lingerie. But the simpler, the classier.

Ha! On me or men? Silk boxers. As a cute aside, I bought a really pretty piece of lingerie the other day. My 7 year old daughter was with me and she can't understand why I'd buy that since I never see it because it's under my clothes.

I wear thongs a lot but only out of sheer necessity; I cannot cope with panty lines. I like fancy pretty things but if I can get away with it I skip undergarments all together, especially when it is this damn hot out.

The things I wear under my clothing don't really qualify as "lingerie"; they are "underwear." Cotton and comfortable. If I had an SO who appreciated something frilly and risque, I would oblige him, however.

I like boxers on men.

I prefer white silk and satin, laced on the bra and panties. Garters and stockings are a definate plus! I also like light blue colors.

I like a little bit of both worlds...cotton to be comfy, lacy fancy things to feel special. Its a really cool feeling to be wearing ugly sweatpants and a ratty t-shirt, but underneath be wearing a lacy g-string and push-up bra, kinda like a your own sexy little secret, you know? :)

I have a couple of Vickie's leopard-print front-close satiny bras and matching knickers. They're laughably tacky, but amuse me, so I wear them a lot. Have a navy set with silver and blue leaf-things on them too, and some solid colored things in black, purple, green, white, blue, etc. I like underwear.

I don't do thongs. I don't care if someone sees my underwear. I generally don't wear pants that are THAt tight. I don't fuss about whether or not anyone can tell if I'm braless either. I used to care, now I just don't. I don't wear many light-colored tops and I'm not huge on top, so if they can tell, bully for them. Life is too short. Of course I won't wear something like red panties under light-colored trousers or skirts, but I don't bother with buttfloss to prevent pantylines. I also don't go without like some of my friends do.

For everyday, I wear my fancy stuff fairly often, but I also buy cheap stuff like Lovepats that are brightly colored and disposable--I can throw 'em in the washing machine, and when they start to fall apart, out they go. I almost always match my bras and undies though.

Actually, I'm a bit of a frilly thing junkie: I have two huge drawers full of underwear. It can't itch or poke or bind or ride up or it gets tossed out, but it also has to look nice or it likewise gets tossed.

I don't bother with nightgowns unless I want to impress, and then they're usually just slips anyway. When it's hot, I don't bother with anything at all. When it is cold, I either pile on more comforters or wear a slightly oversized tee-shirt. (I have to wear them SOMEwhere, and that keeps them from sitting unused in a drawer.)

Will eventually buy a nice corset because I've always wanted one, and will wear it with a big tulle skirt.

lol Paul. Does Gwen agree?

Aw, Milla, now I'm feelin' kinda sheepish and embarassed. It is not buttfloss! And I don't wear tight pants! I guess I needed to clarify that, um, just in case. I'm just gonna walk away backwards now....

i need to by some lengerie for when me and brett do it! i want to drive him crazy! any sugestions? thanx!!!

Here is my confession. I am a lingerie junkie. I can NOT go into a Victora's Secret store without spending $100 or more. I think I have a problem. This wouldn't be so bad if I actually HAD money to spend. But realistically, I make $10 an hour!!!!! Okay, anyway, to answer the question. I love, love, love pretty things. I'm not into the whole hooker look. I am a thong kind of gal. My philosophy is--it's going to end up there anyway, why not start out with it there??? Oh, and garters rock! I feel so sexy when I wear them under a nice pants suit or dress...and no one ever knows--well, til I get home...

Shanna, you're my kind of chick! I wish I could subsidize your lingerie purchases... :)

Jill, my friend Brooke wears thongs. I son't understand how you guys can do it! They drive me crazy!

More power to you if you can. :) They are ceratinly far less tacky than panty lines. If I cared about panty lines, then maybe I'd grit my teeth and bear the perma-wedgie.

Floosie--ask Brett to go shopping with you. That way you get exactly what he wants and it will thrill him to bits. Trust me on this one.

Is ANYONE every going to tell the underwire through the heart story? Please hurry before mine gets me

-- Anonymous, September 02, 2000

I've never heard the underwire through the heart story, but there is a book in print called Dressed To Kill that asserts that underwire bras cause breast cancer. I've not read it but my instincts tell me it is all a bunch of hooey.

Um, thanks Jonny...you can send a check or money order to.....HA! :-)

-- Anonymous, September 03, 2000

Since Paul's busy, I'll say that I'm usually open to suggestions. But when left on my own, I buy anything with underwire that's on sale.

I'm craving these navy satin pajamas with a moon/star print that I saw in Spiegel a million years ago. I tried to order, but they were out of stock. If I had those pajamas, I'd wear them to the grocery store and everything.

what a hoot..I loved reading the humorous responses. I hate panty lines, the thong theory of wearing thongs cause that is where it eventually ends up anyway......LAUGH.....is too funny. The only pantyline-less panties that I have found are Lovepats and no! you don't have to get the gaggy briefs, I like the french cut ones. As for the rest of lingerie......I love it, and have a whole DRAWER full, most of which only gets worn for a short while at a time..SMILE.

I got a nightgown from J. Crew when I was in high school, that I loved. It was a white cotton empire waisted sleeveless nightgown, practically floor length, with lace at the empire waist. It got torn, though, and when I went to order a new one, they were out. I figured they would do another one next year, but they didn't. I got a short white cotton nightgown from them last year, which is cute and all, but it wrinkles up like crazy.

I like to wear Thongs. A few years ago I bought my first one. Now I've got my drawer full with it. Next step is wearing them on the beach. More males should wear thongs I guess. Robert

Dial 1-800-Ew?

This reminds me of a joke a woman friend of mine who was going to Brazil on business told me before she left (thongs have been popular fashion for Brazilian women for years before they caught on here):

'I've picked out my thong for my trip to Brazil. As a matter of fact, I pick it out every five minutes."

Bah-dah-BOOM.
