I was doing my laundry a while ago, nd I notied that every single one of my panties are really cool. I have a pair wiht flames on it, one with sleepy moons, some pretty black lacy ones, some satiny pink ones with plastic flower, and a blue pir too, about 8 pairs of white bikini ones that me and my freinds decorated with permanent marker… a few girly ones, and a a leather pair with a zipper along the front. (it sounds kinky, but its not… its cool.) Now, girls(and guys) Am I the only one with a thing for pretty panties? What do _your_ pretty panties look like? For those who don’t wear pantie or underwear and feel left out, I’m sorry if I’ve offended you. ---

Most of mine are pretty simple. Thongs in blue, black or grey. I do have some nice ones though… a couple of pairs with little fishes on them… a pair with snoopie dancing around… The cutest thongs I ever saw had little kitties with speech bubbles saying ‘mew’ and others with puppies saying ‘ruff’ that kind of thing… I never had the money to get them before they were sold out though. ---

Well, no panties for me. But ever since I grew up and ditched the tighty-whities I have been wearing boxers of a variety of colors and designs. If you look in my drawers it is a veritable technicolor rainbow. ---

On a side note - I inherited sexy underwear from my granddad. I highly doubt he wore them, I believe it was a joke. ---

I wear boxers in a variety of colors. Just today, though, I did a load of laundry that included a bunch of boxers _and a pair of longjohns which I recently dyed dark maroon_. Now, I’d already washed the longjohns once since dying them. I figured that would be enough. Nope. Every pair of boxers in the wash that had any white on it at all now has pink instead. Ah well, I needed to get new underwear anyway. ---

I have one pair of boxers that’s not predominantly navy blue in color. And yes, I do usually wear boxers. I’d estimate that I have 20 or so pair in addition to about a dozen holdover pair of tighty whities that I still wear when the time is right. However, I would certainly say that I have a thing for pretty panties. I’d describe some particular examples but a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell. ---

I notice the same thing when I do laundry. My undies kick ass! I love pretty panties! I’ve got 'em in every color, shade, cut, style and pattern u can think of. Black, white, red, blue, orange, green, peach, burgundy, pink, hot pink, floral designs, stripes, cute lil birdies, kittens, even just plain beige. I know, I know, your grandma wears beige panties… but mine look hot! 😃 Thongs, french cut, lacy, non-lacy, sexy, plain and very non-sexy, comfy, girly, uber-girly, you name it. Lord knows how many pairs I own. I’m guessing a good 30… at least. ---

I once bought very nice panties. They were white with a silver trim on the edges, and had three silver-colored hearts on the front and one in the back. I was so excited about them that I put them on the next morning. Later on that day, I went to use the bathroom and discovered that the silver-colored hearts were, in fact, silver-colored because they had been covered in silver-colored glitter. Said silver-colored glitter was now neatly and evenly spread out on my lower abdominal area. It was an interesting sight, I can tell you that. No, I do not know how I did not notice the silver-colored glitter before. And no, I did not take pictures. 🙂 I still have the panties. They still have some glitter on them, too. ---

I was so excited about them that I put them on the next morning. I did exactly the same thing. I came out of the shower and my cousin couldn’t stop laughing her head off when she saw me. I was eleven and a guy. (No wonder the woman in the shop looked in shock. It all becomes clearer with age) ---

I love pretty panties. I used to be a practical panty type of gal, but my husband loves the color pink on women. Since pink isn’t a color I can wear normally (makes me look sallow), he has to settle for pink panties. That spawned into a quest for the prettiest and most unique panties I can find. I just bought two pair last night, in fact. One is black tiger stripes and one is gold tiger stripes. ---

They are okay. I haven’t seen too many really attractive ones in stores, though. When i wear my white pants, I don’t want prettiness coming through! ---

I only wear Joe Boxers, man. The kind with funky designs on them. I have everything from a suit, complete with little bow tie, to a pair with a flame pattern that says ‘Too hot to handle’ on the crotch. Yeah. I’m a style man. 😃 ---

Well, most of my panties are black. The few colours that I have are mostly racy, like bright red string bikinis/thongs, and are for my amusement. My fiance actually used to get a little weirded out when he saw the brightly coloured ones because of the fact that he was so used to the black ones. I guess he assumed that bright coloured panties just weren’t my style when in fact they were just something that I couldn’t find as readily in the exact style and size I wanted. I avoid light coloured panties just because of the fact that I don’t like 'em, and the closest I’ve got are off-white almost beige type ones that I rarely wear 'cause I hate 'em so much. That’s what I get for having to wear all white in a play in something that’d show off any bit of colour on stage. Either way, I’ve got some really nice ones from Victoria’s Secret that work very well at impressing people who see 'em. ---

I have fuzzy leopard print panties. And fuzzy blue panties. And a blue lace thong (and pictures of some drunk guy wearing them on his head like a hat). And burgundy lace ones. And a black thong that laces up. I also got all of my friends pretty panties for christmas and put them in their stockings (as well as socks). I got a pair of satin bikinis that had an oil slick design on it (like when light hits oil after it rains and its all shiny and colored and pretty), a silver stripper thong, an orange sheer boy cut panty, a zebra fuzzy pair. The best part about giving everyone undies for christmas is the look on their faces when they pull it out of the stocking and have the look of horror on their faces. ---

Most of my panties are pretty. . . I’m a pack-rat of sorts, tho’, so I do have some pairs that could stand to go into the garbage. My favorites? The pink satin strings, the baby blue see-through pair, and the yellow cotton thong. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/this-is-the-pretty-panties-thread-kinda-tmi/135328.md?page=2)
