My husband said he thought all women wore matching bra/panties every day before he met me. lol. I match once in a while but b/c I always am paranoid that my bra will show through my shirt, I wear a flesh colored bra and all sorts of colors in underwear. Just curious what others do :)

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

My hubby also thought all girls slept curled cutely on the bed. It was a rude awakening for him since I sprawl out like a king and inadvertently push him off the bed a lot of nights ;p

Never. Seriously, not ever. A good bra is expensive. I can justify that expense to keep the girls from going wild ;) but I just can't bring myself to buy the matching panties.

My theory is if I have a solid color bra with pretty panties and they don't clash, then I match! That's as good as it gets!! (unless it's a "special" occasion and I break out the good stuff.)

Most of the time. I worked at VS awhile back and stocked up really good since we got a discount! My nude bras get the most wear since I wear a lot of light / while shirts, but other than that, not only do they match each other, but usually match my outfit, too.

Sick, I know. =)

Yes pretty much always! At least coordinated to some extent! Mine aren't a set, just nude, black, or a nude bra with black lace and nude or black boyshorts. Or I have a green/black striped sportsbra with black panties, and a purple sportsbra and a few different shades of purple panties that don't match perfectly but don't clash. when I look put together, I feel more together..Since god knows I'm not always with it in this chaotic world!

answers from Eugene on

Never. I travel for a living. I discovered about 20 years ago that I would never lose a pair of underpants if they were tie dyed. Anyone else washing my clothes would return them as they could see they were not theirs. I wear loudly tie dyed underpants. My bras are all standard made the color the manufacturer intended.

answers from Spartanburg on

always. I only have black lace panties (could never wear white or lighter color!) and a couple of black cotton panties for my period. So My bras (I have two) are also black. I only have one nude bra that I wear only if i am wearing a white sheer camisole that will show the bra if it were either black or white, but even then, I match it with a a nude brasilian tong I have (and never really like to wear). I feel better when I know I am cute under there...and I don't make a big deal out of it, I simply own same color (and kind) underwear.

answers from Joplin on

I wish I could, but my bras cost an arm and a leg, I have quite the ample bosom to support. Even finding "pretty" bras is a feat. I prefer comfort and function, I own one black bra, a few white ones and most are flesh toned. I cannot wear the same bra two days in a row, mine have to be washed daily, I know it is hard on them, but even though I am not overly heavy, because of the size of the bosom I do tend to sweat in that area ( TMI I know...)

I sort of match most of the time. I don't often wear a set, but things are usually coordinated, like black panties with a red & black bra. If I know my husband won't be seeing what's under my clothes that day I don't make the effort. On those days I often don't even come close to matching.

Hahahahahahahahahaha...OMG. Your husband is hilarious. And that would have been my response if I were you. Lol.

I have matching sets, and usually my husband will purchase them but definitly not daily. I pick up panties more often than bras. And I have my favorite bras that I wear more than others.

answers from San Diego on

No, not really. Nursing bras only come in a small choice of colors, not much room to play. Hate to wear nothing but white or black panties all the time LOL I match my bra to my shirt in that I pick one based on a light or dark color so it doesn't glaringly stand out. What I do though just for myself is my panties match the colors of my outfit or shirt most of the time within making sure I don't wear dark panties with light pants that show through.

I don't even OWN a matching pair of undies and bra anymore! Hahaha.... Wow, I don't even think about it. I was a little more "put together" when my husband and I were dating and first married, I guess. Once in a great while when I'm feeling wild (hahaha, yeah right!) they'll both be black, but by no means a saucy little set! Hahaha... This is so funny. Thanks for posting this! I love it.

Same as you (when I'm forced to wear a bra!). Skin toned or black bra depending on the top I'm wearing.

answers from Dallas on

not since 1997. ok, maybe, but only on special occasions, and that's just because I buy a whole lot of black. IF they match, it's probably more of a coincidence than anything else.
When you're a big girl, the bras are beautiful and lacy, but the lacy bottoms that match, just don't fit. I have to buy sturdy nylon granny panties to hold everything in.

answers from San Antonio on

mine rarely rarely if ever match. I only consciously make them match if I forsee some hanky-panky before bedtime (ie, when it's still light outside and hubs can see that I match and look 'put together').
