Not dressing in 'sexy underwear'

[MissCommando]

Is it just me who doesn't dress in nice underwear for my husband? I just don't see the point. I am quite unhappy about my body, not so much my figure but I'm quite private about my husband seeing my giblets. I'm quite relaxed once the lights are switched out (I wouldn't dream of doing it with the lights on).
My husband doesn't mind, he's never mentioned anything about it.
I would just cringe if I put on some Ann summers thing, I would be so embarrassed. I'm a lights off, knickers off girl!
Do you women wear decent underwear to entice your husband/partner and do you feel embarrassed?

[ummmm]

Have a bit of both :-)

[starone]

Right ummmm. Way to go!!

[peashaq]

Can't wait to get home and get the wife's knickers off - they're killing me!

Wondered when that gem was going to pop up, so to say!

Hmmm...
I've always been very body-conscious. I'm 5'11" and having been raised on a farm, I have the muscular body of a Russian beet farmer. To add insult to injury, ALL of the women in my family are 5'6" and below, and are of very petite build, which only served to make me feel even MORE like the jolly green giant! I used to think God had it out for me, lol.
So needless to say, I grew up feeling very embarrassed about my size & I hid my body, even when the "lights were out" as you say.
I am also somewhat of a prude in that I do not believe women should parade their bodies in public for all and sundry. To me, unwrapping the package is half the fun.
So I said all of that to say: I DO understand where you are coming from about not feeling comfortable about wearing the barely-there stuff.

As I grew older, I became more comfortable with my body. Weirdly enough--part of becoming comfortable with myself happened when I tried out thong panties, lol.
It's strange, but there's just something about the feel of the barely-there thong under my rather prudish & professional daytime clothing that made me feel...a bit naughty? sexy? both??
Not to mention--thong panties take half a size off of you and your pants fit looser. Weird, huh??

In beginning to wear the thongs & feeling a bit sexier from doing so, I began to feel more comfortable around my husband & a bit "freer" in the bedroom.
Then I began to buy the matching sexy, half bras with the thongs, and THEN, graduated to some tasteful bits of lingerie.

There is something to be said for being comfortable with one's self that is VERY liberating.
When you are comfortable, you relax, and you will just feel a natural sexiness about yourself.
When you feel sexy, you EXUDE that sexiness. It is a feeling that can't be faked. Then, sex is actually better, because you feel a daring you wouldn't otherwise feel.
I can also say that my husband's interest and attention perked up. He also began complimenting me more. I don't even know if he realized it--because he had always been loving & cuddly, so it's hard to describe, but I could just feel the extra attention & I noticed he was more playful and verbal about how sexy he thought I was.

So I didn't --and DON'T--wear the sexy undies for my husband; I wear them for myself. But I can say he reaps the benefit of it, lol...

I agree with you and your cat Bill

Dressing up in frilly underwear would make me feel like Danny la Rue - i.e. going over the top to appear feminine.

Femininity is nothing to do with what you wear.

I used to wear sexy pants all the time until the day I tripped and fell over in the street. I was wearing a thong and my skirt ended up over my head. Displaying acres of flabby backside to the general public is not a good look, so it is applecatcher pants with skirts/dresses these days

I used to love to buy my wife underwear- biggest turn on in the world to see her wearing it, but bill is right to some degree if the woman is comfortable with herself, alluring and feminine it really doesnt matter what she wears- my wife also used to nick my jersey boxer shorts, and looked equally great in those. the thing I would say is forget about underwear/ no-underwear- frilly or not etc and just concentrate on becomng happy enough with the way you look to keep the lights on and let your man see you, that will give him a bigger kick than anything because NOTHING is as sexy as confidence.

LOL @ Mrs O

[pa___ul3]

well I, as another mere man, very much appreciate nice underwear.

[whiskeryron]

I think that most ladies underwear is sexy, the only ones that ever put me off were those Abattoir knickers the girls used to wear ( Directoire ha ha ).

[Sqad]

The majority of men, admire, appreciate and respond to sexy underwear (which is not synonymous with Ann Summers)in women and if this is not forthcoming for whatever reason in their wives or partners, will find it elsewhere.

[naomi24]

I like beautiful underwear - and never thongs or 'big' knickers! No matter how expensive 'sexy' underwear may be, it looks cheap and I would never wear it.

[ummmm]

Find what elsewhere?

[LoftyLottie]

I think nice underwear can also be quite plain. Plain but well fitting and feminine - it doesn't have to be Ann Summers style. I think Mr LL would agree with Bill's cat. No way would I wear anything uncomfortable or ultra skimpy, not even when I was young and slim with a lovely figure would I have worn tacky underwear ( let alone these days)

[Sqad]

ummmm.......sexy underwear to admire on a woman.

[pa___ul3]

I think sqad's talking pages 386 to 395 of the Grattan catalogue ummm!
