That's it, then.
I've always wanted to be a Fire Fighter.
Off with the Nanna-Knickers, and off to save the world I go!

Of course mine are all pure silk, not good for putting out fires but they light a few when the neighbours spot them on the washing line!

Has anyone actually been into M & S and looked at their lingerie recently? I think you'd be surprised....... I've just stocked up in their sale - in case I have a fire, of course. Just letting you know, in case you are wondering, that my pans are tiny so I shouldn't have a problem.... Oops! Did I leave the letter 't' out?

Did you mean to say "My pans are tinny or my pants are tiny?"

M&S generally size theirs according to normal clothes sizes, so they might be 10/12, 14/16, 18/20 etc.

I am very curious to know, what is the general consensus amongst you ladies - do you go for comfortable and practicable, or do you (dare I say it) go for "cute and slinky" (I wasn't sure what to put there lol). From a male perspective, I have no objections whatsoever to the lady in my life wearing whatever she feels comfortable in. I still have memories of the "passion killers" that used to be issued to the WRAC's I served with in the army lol If Sue posts on here now saying she loves to wear tanga briefs, I am gonna need therapy

I like to go for a combination, if you will, like "comfortable and cute". That way I'm not bothered walking around in them all day, but also, should my jeans come off for any reason, they still look good! The best day of my life was when I found a new brand/style of underwear that are very comfortable, and "slinky"  , and make my butt look good!
But I do have some that are comfortable, but rather boring to look at (or even not nice to look at lol). And still others that are very UNcomfortable but nice to look at.

You have hit the nail on the head there GG with the essence of my question - why on earth should women feel "obliged" to wear underwear that is "appealing" to the supposed male viewpoint?
If the women herself WANTS to look and feel "glamorous" then I say fine, go for it gal - but I really don't think that a woman should be pressured by whatever, or whoever, into looking "sensual" at all times!
Underwear serves a practical purpose - yes, there is a time and place when it provides a little "excitement", but essentially it should be PRACTICABLE

Mine range from the practical to the totally impractical, all depends on the mood. I also have some fairly punitive stuff as that pulls in, pushes up and stops unwanted wobbles. Only ever worn with a posh frock thought. I dread getting carted off to hospital unconscious in all that stuff. Believe me, it doesn't come off quickly in an emergency.

supersal already has her "Knickers to That" quiz online. It does 'cover' more than underwear. Just thought I'd get a plug in for you, Sally, I'll bill you for it later.  Sandy

I think thongs are the worst thing ever invented. One of the most horrible sights in my mind is the woman who bends down with her back to you and the jeans are hipsters and the thongs are not. Yuk. Now that would put me off much more than the largest "Gorkies"(my grans name for voluminous knee lengthers) or directoires ever made, if I were a bloke. Although my gran used to wear grey flannel gorkies. Not a pretty sight either.They would have put out the fire of London.
