OK, maybe this is a very odd question, but it is in hopes of seeing into the minds of women in general, and submissives more specifically.

Over my lifetime I've often heard various reasons for women wearing different styles of underwear. I've heard everything from it having no affect on mindset, to wearing a given color putting her into a given mood.

First I guess the question should be posed, do you feel differently in some way wearing white than you do wearing black? Does pink put you in a different frame of mind than red, than white, than blue?

How does style come into play? Do thongs change your attitude if you usually wear bikini? How about big momma panties? (guess i don't know what they're called, but "full coverage" might be better)

If colors do give a different outlook on the day, what colors do what for you?

If different styles give a different feeling, what styles do what?

What about lace, ruffle things, cotton from another material?

To be fair, I'll share a bit for myself.

I wear boxers. Hate any other type, they make me feel too constricted.

Color has no real bearing, though I don't own any pink or purple, or any other color that might be considered less masculine.

I used to wear silk a lot, but they don't last long enough and rip often especially in summer. They tend to stick to your legs and then you sit down and RIIIIIIP...Instant thong :p

For whatever reason though the silks did give me a certain bump to my self confidence. So i tended to wear them when I was going out in social situations and had hopes to meet a woman. Colors on the silks were usually solid and in rich colors. Deep blue, black, burgandy, deep green and so on.
 
I don't think underwear has anything to do with anything. I wear briefs cause they're comfortable. Anything else makes me cranky cause they're uncomfortable. The only reason I would wear anything is to make my hubby happy.

Granny Panties
 
I love granny panties...
and girls who admit to wearing them....are yummy.

I have a broad spectrum of underwear, some of which is specifically old school 50's foundation garment, big iron clad stretchy granny panties...
I find them flattering and actually way more comfortable than the women of the 60's gave them credit for. But I like the feeling of being held in and supported by my skivvies, remember, I like corsets.

And that held-in feeling makes me feel more controlled, calm, feminine, I like girdle panties, stockings, and a shorter skirt when I feel like life is handing me too much shit.

I like silk. It makes me feel sexy. I have three matching sets of silk...one pink, one red/black and one purple swirls. The pink set makes me feel young and innocent. The red/black makes me feel naughty and slutty. The purple set makes me feel natural and in my own skin, since it is my favourite colour.

I also have a black cotton set with rhinestones along the bust and waistline, with the panties being bikinni style. I feel like an exhibitionist in this set. It is my favourite.

Thongs make me feel like someone should spank me hard and fuck me harder.

Granny Panties make me feel old and flabby.

None at all makes me feel vurnerable and owned. Which is usually at the order of my Domme, so it is a fitting feeling.

White makes me feel like a fish out of water.

So yes, I'd say my choice of underwear affects my mood :)

I'll admit to wearing them at the moment actually. Pale green with little flowers embroidered on them. They still make me feel old and flabby (prolly because the ones I have on are too big, and I keep having to hitch them up), but your description kind of made me appreciate them a bit more. Thanks :)
 
Holly and I both generally wear granny's most of the time - they are just more comfortable. I do wear the high-cut, but Holly wears normal ones. Pattern and color don't phase either of us - we get whatever they have that is the right cut and the right size. We do both own some thongs, but wear them rarely and only at specific times for special reasons ... in general, we both believe that underwear is there to keep your pants out of your ass, not go in first :p

Holly has that problem sometimes ... usually after she's done laundry and hasn't sorted mine & her's properly - I wear 2 sizes bigger than she does & she doesn't seem to figure it out until she's been hitching up a pair of mine for at least 2 hours ... :rolleyes:

this made me giggle... :kiss:
 
glad you enjoyed ... LOL

Normally we figure out that she has my undies on when she complains that she needs new ones cuz the elastic is gone from the ones she has on ... then she decides to check the size and realizes why they aren't staying up ...
 
I never wear white panties, I feel too innocent. They're always cotton, always low cut bikini panties. My lucky unmentionables are pink. My feel-goods are blue.

Thanks for the feedback...

do you wear a certain color on purpose to get those affects? or does the mood come from the color? In other words, which comes first the chicken or the egg?

how about pattern? do flowers give a different mindset than say hearts?

Does white have that affect no matter the style? Like would white lace have the same affect as white cotton?

Lucky as in to "get lucky" or lucky as in have a good day?

if you never wear white what other colors do you wear and do they have any special meanings?

thanks

so how many others feel this way? would you say that it is more common to think nothing of it or to put meaning behind the colors?

That's pretty much how we are ... I very rarely put any meaning behind my panties - my bras are a different story ... I dont' know why, but they are.

how so? can you answer the same questions for bras? (i actually meant this thread to include bras, but i guess i got fixated on the panty part :p)
 
LOL, yeah, you did ...

Anyway, I can't really explain it, but I started buying nicer bras long before I bought any nice or pretty panties. I have quite a collection of both now, but I still have many more bras than panties - possibly because the bras have a more noticable effect in my appearance. I don't wear clothes tight enough to notice a pantyline, so my panties don't matter, but a good bra that gives me a good shape ... doesn't matter what I wear over it, it looks good and I feel it ... and a sportsbra that gives me the "uniboob look" (as Holly puts it) definately puts me in the mood of 'I'm a bum and I don't care who knows it'. I guess it's just because the bras make an effect that others can see ...

Like to hear the response to this. [Bump]

And does this change for you subs if your Dom lays out what color or style you are to wear. Meaning if your mood is what dictates what color or style you choose to wear, does that change when your Dom picks the color or style for you?

I wonder also if this concept is carried over to the avatars heehee, just a thought. Avatars, the panties of the internet! :p

hmm, usually the mood comes from what I choose, and I choose whichever two pieces happen to fall into my hands from my panty basket first. Sometimes I will choose by mood though...depends on my mood :) No set answer there, sorry.

I don't like patterns, at all, unless they are two colours combined to make a sort of loose pattern, or thin stripes...but hearts and flowers and whatnot are not my thing.

Well, I wasn't sure how much to get into it, but that's why I wear briefs (aka granny panties). Frankly their's nothing in the world that's sexy about someone trying to pull their underwear out of their butt! And anything else always ends up in my butt, which drives me batty. As to bras, I'm a very odd size (36G) and I only own one bra that fits right, cause my bras are upwards of $45 a piece. I would love to have just one pretty bra, since the one that fits is also a nursing bra. I'm so sick of wearing nursing bras.
 
I don't like panties.

I wear them for three occasions.. Games and track meets, and then they're fairly close fitting bikini breifs and I try to get as close to team colours as I can.

I also wear them for church, basically bikini briefs, colour optional. I just try to make sure I'm not wearing dark panties under light clothes.

The only other time I wear them is when I might accidently flash my goods at someone when it wouldn't be appropriate.

My weird thing is, when I do wear panties, they have to match my bra colour wise. Like blue and blue, or white and white.

I can't even begin to imagine how difficult bra shopping with/for you is ... Holly drives me nuts because she's a difficult size to find too (36-38 DD - and we think she needs to go larger on cup size, but then we do have to go to special made ... ). Maybe you can find someone who would be willing to buy them for yoU? :p
 
I prefer the "boy short" panties. I enjoy the friction of the seam, and I like to have plenty of ass cheek hanging out, but the coverage around the midsection is more flattering than a thong to the postchildbearing figure. I don't attach any importance whatsoever to color or pattern.

I have a troublesome bra size too; currently squeezed into a 38DD, but should really have a larger cup size.
 
hmmmm

I think my panties have a HUGE impact on the way I feel during the day. Sometimes I admit to wearing granny panties, either because it is laundry day, or because I want to be comfortable and "dress down". When I wear them, I have only three colors to choose from...solid blue, solid white and white with blue flowers...not so original, eh? LOL

As for my "normal" panty routine, I prefer bikini panties with the thin strings on the hips and full ass coverage, but sometimes when I sleep at night I find that I roll on my side and the strings eventually seems to hurt me somehow...cutting into my hip area and I have to roll over because the area almost feels asleep!

I prefer cotton bikinis over silky ones, because of their comfort, but any bright color or pattern makes me feel especially "perky". My favorite color of panties are yellow with big floral patterns on them...too cute!

I never (or rarely) get the chance to match panties to bra because of my bust size as well. If I shop off the rack I am looking at a 44-46-48 DD just to fit it all in, but custom fitting not only costs more, but usually looks much less cute. So, most bras are icky white and made to boost these big things up and apart...not to match my skivvies!

The one except to the bright colored panty rule for making me feel good is the one pair of pure white panties I have...the same style as all the other, but in white cotton...I love them. They look and feel so clean when I put them on, and it makes me feel so...young. Love that feeling!
