    Subject: Female Undergarments
    
    I'm an long time married (and faithful) male.  My wife and I have been 
    discussing the pros and cons of "alternative" undergarments for her and 
    the spice of life vs sensitivity. I thought I'd get some other 
    opinions. 
    
    Which undergarments do you prefer on your female partner? Why? When?
    
    Which undergarments does your female partner prefer to wear? Why? When?
    
    How do the women members feel about this?
    
    Is this clothing more for men's satisfaction or can woman actually find 
    self-satisfaction on occasion?

         Find the fella who invented pantyhose, and strangle him with
    a pair.

274.2my two cents worthLEZAH::BOBBITTinvictus maneoWed Sep 07 1988 14:4623
    I despise pantyhose.  They are uncomfortable, they get runs, they
    have to be washed carefully, and they are expensive - BUT they are
    sexy.  I wear skirts and dresses *very* seldom, so I don't mind donning
    'hose on occasion.  I like wearing lycra tights and a leotard when
    I work out - lycra tights could probably survive a nuclear war they
    are so tough.  
    
    Yes, I have bought garter belts.  Yes, they are a nice alternative,
    although they do take longer to put on than panty hose.  They don't
    make a wide enough variety of sizes of thigh-high stockings to fit
    everyone, though, and that was a problem in the past.  And it's
    really great to see the expression on your man's face when he realizes
    that you're wearing stockings-&-garter-belt rather than panty hose.
    
    Another thing I hate about skirts and dresses, and thus panty hose
    indirectly, as that they almost always require high heels to complement
    the fashionable look.  And I *despise* heels, although they do have
    their uses (they are sexy, too). 

    Gimme a decent pair of jeans and sneakers/boots any day.

274.3A few insignificant commentsGRANMA::MWANNEMACHERWed Sep 07 1988 15:555
    RE: .1  I wish they would also strangle the person who invented the
    tie.

    RE: .2  I'd rather see a girl in jeans and boots then in a dress
    any day.  I guess it's the country boy in me.
274.4One woman's opinionCEMENT::HUXTABLEDancing LightWed Sep 07 1988 16:4522
    If "alternative underclothing" means stockings but not
    pantyhose, well, I wear thigh-hi stockings (they come in 5 or
    6 sizes from the Sears catalog, of all places!) because
    noone makes panty-hose in a comfortable size for me.  (This
    is the variety that stays up without a garter belt.) However,
    any "interesting" undergarment loses its exotic appeal when
    you wear it everyday. 

    If you're talking about the sort of not-to-be-worn-everyday
    goodies that one sees in the Frederick's catalog...well, yes,
    I enjoy wearing them (every now and then I get a real kick
    out of wearing something "wicked" under boring old dress
    clothes to work) and my SO enjoys me wearing them.  Most of
    these things, however, are not comfortable enough for me to
    want to wear often, and so they don't lose their erotic
    appeal.  And they usually don't stay on long enough to get
    uncomfortable.  ;)

    For comfort, I agree with previous replies:  jeans, t-shirt
    or flannel shirt, sneakers or boots!

    Mike, I like seeing my daughter and her friends in jeans and boots
    also...I also like seeing women in jeans and boots too. :-)

    re .3
    
    Ties evolved from the cloths of silk that a band of Croatian mercenaries
    in the service of the French king wore to protect their necks
    from sword cuts. The word "cravat" memorializes their service. 
    
    I doubt you'd find it easy to strangle a Croat...
274.7Drats, foiled again! :')GRANMA::MWANNEMACHERThu Sep 08 1988 09:406
    RE: -1  They've been strangling me for some time now.  It is good
    to know however that I am safe if ever anyone attacks me with a
    foil. :')

    Do either tights or stockings feel comfortable when you have hairy
    legs ?
    
    They certainly don't look nice !!!!
    
    Silk is best for *all* undergarments !!!
    
274.9.1 had it right!18031::FOOTER_JOEHappiness is a warm PythonThu Sep 08 1988 16:112
    I agree with .1 wholehartedly.  I find nylons and garter belts
    stimulating, and my wife seems to enjoy wearing them.

    Just for special occasions???  Heck NO.  Why save 'em?  I feel sexy
    when I wear lacy undies, no matter what I'm wearing and no matter
    who sees 'em.
