Perhaps the Dope can resolve an age old question. 
Are panties worn under or over pantyhose? Or, omitted altogether?
I’ve taken my own informal research back in my dating days. Seems like every lady had her own preference. I still look back fondly at the time when women still wore dresses and hosiery.
Well - this was supposed to be a poll. A keyboard malfunction and general stupidity (on my part) means we’ll have to get by without one.
Perhaps the mods will help?
Good lord! I’ve never even contemplated this. I rarely wear pantyhose, but to me it seemed self-evident that panties go under the pantyhose.
I get grossed out even thinking about the other way.
Pantyhose have a built-in panty; I see no need to wear another pair underneath them. Much less over them.
I should add I wear hosiery rarely, and it’s usually tights in winter or as part of a costume. (Fishnets at Halloween, etc.)
As a kid my mother made me wear panties underneath my pantyhose, but she herself didn’t. No, I don’t know why. I just recall the one time I (logically) assumed that the panty built into the hosiery was sufficient, she walked into my room, noticed, and told me in no uncertain terms to put some underwear on underneath them anyway.
Don’t your pubes get caught in the mesh? Or do you go hairless?

Who wears panties OVER pantyhose?
I do wear panties over garters (suspenders) though. The ads always show them under but sometimes you need to take your panties off before you unsnap your garters. Makes it easier.
Pubes…is there a more cringe worthy word for the short hairs?

Under, although if you have pantyhose that just won’t stay up, wearing your knickers over the hose will make a big difference.
I don’t like to have hose so close to that area though (depending on the gusset material), so I have on occassion worn two pairs of knickers - one over and one under.
Always under, though I haven’t worn hose in forever. I also don’t recall most pairs that I once wore having any kind of “panty” insert; it probably depends on brand and style.
I simply cannot imagine wearing underpants over top of hose - not to mention that ill-fitting hose rarely had the crotch area fit anywhere near where it should.
That’s am awful lot of underwear.
Underwear definitely go under the pantyhose. There’s not a natural fiber to be found in those things. shudder
Underwear definitely go over garters though. If you’re wearing the garters for fun and frolic, you want to be able to leave them on, and if you’re wearing them for more practical purposes, well… at some point you’re gonna have to pee, and those things are a pain in the ass to fasten and unfasten, even when you’re not working in a tiny stall.
Under, of course. In fact, I’m demonstrating that right now!
Definitely over!!! There is the built-in gusset already - and they look a whole lot sexier with the panties over. You never have to haul them up as the panties lock them in place.
When I was inclined to wear them, I often had a one piece (you know the kind with snaps in the crotch) that I put over. I can’t imagine panties under - that would be like too confining or something.
Under.
I’m actually amazed to hear that there is even another option, thouh of course do whatever works for you.
Over people: does this mean you change your tights (your pantyhose) each day? Because I would tend to wear mine for a few days, but with knickers underneath.
If you’re wearing them over, why are you wearing them at all?
Another “under” here.

The flaw in your theory is that pantyhose do not look sexy. At all. Ever.
Ewwwww! Under, for sure. Pantyhose and tights aren’t natural fibers and if I go without, I get slightly sweaty, and sweat from that region smells nasty. Gross.
I also wonder if you switch them every day. I don’t, because I wear panties underneath, and can get a good half a dozen wears out of one pair. I can’t imagine not using panties and wearing them more then one day - that’s like wearing panties more then one day!
OMG! UNDER!!!:eek:
Yeah, but it’s also like wearing socks for more than one day. I’m really not getting this “wear more than once between washings” thing, panties or no.
Exactly. :eek:
I’ll be in my bunk.
It had never, ever occurred to me that you could wear your underwear over pantyhose.
Pantyhose are what we call tights, aren’t they? (For the avoidance of doubt, long usually thin full length socks that join at the crotch, worn under skirts…) Why would you wear your underwear over them? It would be like wearing your underwear over your trousers.
My mind is genuinely boggling at the concept.
