When, Where and Why?

As I was rushing out the door to my part-time job this morning (yes, boss is away and I am blogging on her dime) I grabbed a red jacket out of my closet. It’s somewhat dressy so I don’t wear it very often and can’t recall when I last wore it. But, it would have been on a fall day…it’s not summer wear.

Pulled on the jacket, reached into the left pocket and pulled out a pair of panties!!!!  Heavens. I have no idea when I did that and why.

I do recall a summer night when I ran into a lover at the bar. He was with his buddies and I was alone, I think. We were sitting next to each other, as I know the whole crowd…but none of them knew of our connection. I was wearing a short, sleeveless black dress. I got up to go the rest room where I removed my panties. Returning to the bar I caught his eye and let him see what was clutched in my hand. Then I sat down next to him on the bar stool, crossed my legs demurely, and continued the conversation. He twisted and fidgeted the whole time. When he left , first I think, I got a text about my actions and the ensuing results. It was great fun! I loved his reaction and the sexual charge I got as well.

Those panties were black. These were nude and for the life of me I can not remember how they got there! Is this what old age is like?

Do Your Panties Make You Feel Sexy?

According to an article I found on Current TV, women, on average,  own about 21 pairs of underwear. And, many claim that a ugly or ill-fitting pair of undies can ruin their day.  I know that panties that ride or roll and sag can be annoying, but I’ve never had a day ruined by ugly panties. You?  

Based on a survey of 1008 women, here are some fascinating tidbits about girlie panty wearing behavior:

• Almost half of women (47%) say they feel sexier and more confident wearing a nice or special pair of panties.
• 27% say their mood is affected by wearing an ill-fitting or unattractive pair of undies.
• 10% of women own 35 or more pairs.
• 65% buy neutral colors, with white being the most popular, followed by black and beige.
• Overall, 46% of women say briefs are the style they wear the most often. But women age 18-34 are more likely to wear the bikini style.
• 56% of women fold their panties; 27% just toss them in the drawer.
• 1 in 10 women admit that they will venture out of the house without underwear.
• Half of women have complaints about the way their underwear fit, with “wedgies” (30%) topping that list, followed by “doesn’t lay flat under clothes” (19%) and “not enough coverage in the rear” (14%).

I don’t know about you but on a given ordinary work type day, I’m all about comfort. That means briefs, beige or black and comfy. No thongs, no tiny little things that get lost when I sit down. Do I feel less sexy? No, I feel comfortable.

For dress-up and those anticipatory intimate moments, then I’m going for something sexy-normally black and somewhat smaller.

What about you ladies? Do the panties make the woman? If Bridget Jones could get laid in big droopy white granny panties isn’t there hope for all of us?
