I listen to Classic Hits here in Auckland most mornings, and today they were talking about underwear because All Black Dan Carter and his long time girlfriend have done an ad for Jockey underwear. Here’s the story plus the billboard photos.
The announcers mentioned how underwear changes with a relationship. Here are the stages:
1. The start of a relationship: a woman wears sexy, silky underwear that always matches.
2. Six months into the relationship: a woman still wears sexy matching underwear but the odd plain bra is creeping into her wardrobe.
3. One year into the relationship: a woman is back to cotton.
4. Several years into the relationship: the undies don’t match anymore.
5. Five to ten years into the relationship: Some of the cotton undies have holes. The good stuff doesn’t fit anymore or else it is faded and the elastic gone. The good white set of undies has turned a funny gray.
But he loves you anyway. Besides, he’s gone from a medium to a large so who is he to talk?
What do you think about the underwear theory?

LOL!! Yeah that would make sense. I think it’s happening to me. Ever since I started having babies I’ve been wearing huge comfy cotton undies. Undies that don’t sit on my scar. Even after my incision heals I can’t have anything sit on my scar.
So if I do pull out the sexy low riders, he knows and I know they won’t be staying on too long.

My cottons are not grey, have holes or crappy elastics. But nice, white cottons is the only stuff I wear. No uncomfortable sexy silk that can’t be washed at 75°C for me. Eww.

lol I got a good chuckle out of this. Is it true? Yes, in someways. I think, for me, going from working outside the home to staying home, having kids, ect. was the reason. I mean, if I had the money to perk up my underwear, I would. It does make you feel sexier. Now, I save my matching sets, my pretty lace, my skimpy lowers and push’em up and back into position bras for when I know hubs is going to appreciate them.

Married 23 years – yeah, got my share of larger panties in the drawer with the elastic that isn’t quite what it used to be LOL.
This is one of those funny analogies that hits the nail on the head.
And like everyone else, the sexy stuff comes out and doesn’t stay on long.
Comfort trumps all these days!

LOL! I’ve been married for nearly 20 years and still wear the same kind of underwear — cotton bikinis. Lace and satin are sexy, but extremely uncomfortable, IMO.

Too funny. I don’t know if I necessarily went from uber sexy to cotton undies with holes in it thro the years. I alternate still. LMAO!

Hon… if my asssss ever! and I mean EVER! looked like, that I’d be wearing lace all the flippin’ time.
But yeah, damn I hate that you’re right.

I’m not sure if that is true for most couples, but it is highly entertaining!

I don’t know – I think I’m bucking the trend. I have lots of nice silky stuff, and I’ve been married for almost 27 years. Actually I’m finding some of the modern silky stuff is amazingly comfortable to wear.

That was good for some giggles! I’m not sure how the theory plays out, but machine washable is a huge plus these days! No time for fancy hand-wash only kind of things!
