BakersDozen Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 At a mom's night out last week there was an interesting (and slightly entertaining) discussion regarding lingerie and how women feel about wearing it. It's a good thing the lighting was dim in the restaurant because more than a few of us were blushing. ;) No need to give intimate details, just give your vote, please, because I have a bet with dh that I'm hoping to win! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I said Love it, but I am choosing to ignore the 'never feel sexier' part of you poll option. I do love lingerie. I would be happy to wear it everyday if dh appreciated it more; he doesn't, so I don't spend the money on it. I live in t-shirts and jeans for practicality and frugal reasons. I love to dress up though and lingerie is just an extension of that for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutamattatt Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It helps me remember that I am a woman after a day of feeling more like a cat herder, frustrated teacher, short order cook, taxi driver, and part time nurse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom22ns Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Dh loves it, so I like it. I feel awkward wearing it. I don't do dress up - except for him :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Kate Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I haven't worn it in ages :blush: but I think dh likes it, so I probably should. My main problem is that I'm not thrilled with the way I look in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandylubug Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I put popcorn please because I will wear SOME types and DH of course loves it.. My issue is I feel stupid changing back into "mommy wear" when I am actually planning to sleep. My kids always wake up before me and come in my room tattling about SOMETHING.. and I had a boy absolutely obsessed with breasts...so, I have to be quite modest most of the time...

KirstenH Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It helps me remember that I am a woman after a day of feeling more like a cat herder, frustrated teacher, short order cook, taxi driver, and part time nurse. This. Totally. I feel pretty and young and sensual when I'm wearing it. It takes me back to my honeymoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I hate some types as they are just uncomfortable, but to fork out the cash for really nice stuff seems like such a waste of money. I love the really nice lingerie, but since it costs a fair amount, and my dh would rather I not wear anything, than it seems silly to buy them.

PeacefulChaos Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I love it. I have a lot of it. I sleep in it (except for one week or so every month or so... that would just be mean. :D :lol: ) So yeah, I'm a big fan. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbygirl Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I wish there was an "other" in the poll because for me it depends. I like lingerie and do think it makes me feel sexy, but I don't need it to feel sexy either. And not all lingerie is created equal either. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I voted :lurk5:. I would wear it, but dh can't stand it.....and I thought he was the only one! I'm actually glad to see other answers like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 After wearing t-shirts to bed for most of 20 years, dh was delighted to find me in something different. It's still just stuff I feel comfortable in, and some is even just from Wmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xuzi Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Loooooooove it! Have a whole drawer dedicated to it. Often DH's "souvenirs" for me (we :tongue_smilie: ) when he comes home from a business trip is new lingerie. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BakersDozen Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I think it's more for ladies with bOOks than gals like me with.. uh... junior easy readers. :lol: Or for women like me who used to have great bOOks but now have nothing more than deflated comic book-sized "readers". :D One of the sites that came up on our weekly "Family Safety" list yesterday was one where my dh went to see if all women like lingerie or if they are more like me (I can't stand the stuff). I told him he needed a real poll of real women/moms, hence my post. So thank you all for taking the time to vote/respond! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I voted love it, but I don't wear it now that I'm overweight! I will again, though, when I look nice in it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyfaithe Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Totally unnecessary. I'd much rather wear nothing and Dh has never complained. Yep. Lingerie never lasts more than a minute.....it just makes no sense to us. I love nice undies for me though.....never wear those big cotton jobs my mom always wore.

Mama Geek Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I voted popcorn. I didn't mind wearing it when I was a much smaller size. I did stick with things that were comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've always enjoyed it, but rarely spent the money on it. Sometimes DH would pick something up for me and I didn't get around to wearing it for months or almost a year. After 3 kids, I have plenty of wrinkly belly skin. DH doesn't mind, but *I* feel better wearing lingerie now to hide it. It makes *me* feel sexier and more in the mood. I've been wearing it a lot lately. I joke with Dh that it is my superhero costume...it helps me transition mentally from being "mommy" to feeling more like a sexy wife :) I've been buying more and enjoying wearing it, and DH is enjoying it too.

NanceXToo Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I put love it, but it DOES depend on "it." There's some that just makes you feel ridiculous or is a bit TOO awkward, and some that really does make you feel good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVA Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm not crazy about it....don't see the point, either. The times I DID wear it, it didn't stay on long enough to warrant the trouble. Dh agrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Okay, so after reading the thread I've come to the conclusion you are referring to s3xy nighties (thinking Fredrick's) instead of undergarments in general (thinking Macy's lingerie dept.) The former is not something I wear. If for no other reason than it is cold where I live for 9 months of the year. I'll stick to flannel, thankyouverymuch. The latter is something I have a good variety and amount of and like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Don't see the need but I'm more practical. Dh does think it "sexy" when I dress in hippy skirts w/ my hair down. Why that is his thing I don't know but it makes me feel girly. I think his biggest preference would be a hippy skirt w/ nothing else.

Momof3littles Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Wait - are you still wearing it at the end? Ok - that's new to me. I would feel weird changing afterward too. I'm not the person you are addressing but I keep it on many times. Most of my stuff has ummm...access. Since I like it to camouflage my wrinkly belly skin, I leave it on. Again, my issue, not DH's, but he doesn't seem to mind. Depending on what it is, I may or may not change into "sleepwear" with more coverage afterward. Some of my things are comfy enough to sleep in, like a beautiful silk cami type top I have with antique lace on the top, paired with black lace boy shorts. Not really a set, but it still makes me feel good, and is comfy enough to sleep in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillian Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I feel very beautiful and feminine when I am wearing pretty underthings. Perhaps it is because I have large bOOks and finding things that don't cost a flippin' fortune is hard so when I do I feel awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have a lot of it, and dh loves when I wear it. I haven't put any of it on in a long time, so I guess maybe I should make the effort. I would much rather sleep in a t-shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestof3 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I love it and so does dh. Day in and day out, I just wear nice black undergarments (unless I have to wear white). I wear lingerie rarely, but I love it when I do. It's also fun to buy. I had a lingerie shower for one of my bridal showers (given by college friends), and I still have my favorite pieces that I wore on our honeymoon. I wear workout clothes as regular pajamas, though, because of the kids. I can see where it would be nice to be able to walk around in this sort of attire, but it's not happening in an 1,100 sq ft house with one bathroom! :) Edited June 5, 2012 by nestof3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenL Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Dh wishes I would wear it more often, but it's just SO expensive, and for the little time it actually stays on, I feel like it's a waste of money.
