    I stopped wearing thongs when I was 19 because I discovered boy shorts... which are more comfortable and sexier!

    How long are those trinkets on the back going to last when you wash them? #fredericksofhollywood

    @Pantra: This I just do not understand. If you want panties on, isn't the crotch area the most important part? And if you're looking for easy access, wouldn't you just go without?

    Can someone explain, plz? #fredericksofhollywood

    @brad: Crotchless is best when utilizing a garter and thigh high set up because then you don't have to deal with undoing garters and removing the thigh highs to have sex. You can just do it once you untie the lovely little bow holding the two sides of the underwear together :) #fredericksofhollywood

    For the well endowed woman, FOH is a god send. Sizes that do not exist at VS and better prices. Plus, prettier colors than the industrial look I am currently sporting.

    But you are correct, much use of boa leftovers to be avoided. (And I love the Fraggle reference). #fredericksofhollywood

    @PandaGrrl: ...do you live in NYC? I'm well endowed and I went to Bratenders recently and got sized.. the back pain that I've had since I first developed is gone, my breasts sit higher than ever before and they have an amazing selection of bras that come in many, many sizes.

    @Eleanor Ramilly: I am in NYC and a fan of Townhouse and also was at some wholesale place all the way downtown. I haven't heard of Bratenders. Get properly sized rocks, doesn't it? It helps a ton.

    But I am still nursing a baby, so I can't do too much about bras until then. #fredericksofhollywood

    Has anyone ever bought stuff from Frederick's? How's the quality, compared to, say, VS? The prices are a lot better.

    I might actually buy the #14 underwear, and possibly one of the silver bustiers. #fredericksofhollywood

    @Hana Maru: I have bought their more casual bras on--the ones that aren't covered in tassels and jewels and cutouts like the Extreme Cleavage line. The bras I bought fit really well, gave amazing support, made my boobs look really good and lasted so long that I went up a cup size and can't really wear them. Occasionally I will still wear them for certain tops and they still support really well.
    I've also bought some dresses and tops that were good quality. Cheap material, but they've lasted and fit very nicely and don't look cheap.
    Most of their underwear options seem extremely synthetic though.

    Oh, but their reversible bras suck! I got tricked by one last week. They support nicely but are very ugly, matronly and shapeless. Just a heads up, because they're cheap and tempting on the website.

    @Hana Maru: I only buy from Frederick's because I've got an odd bust size that VS doesn't provide. I can say the bra quality is WAY better than VS; the elastic lasts longer and the actual support is amazing. They've got some cheesy lingerie but if you look through they offer stuff that won't make you laugh too that is also really good quality. One thing I've never bought is the underwear but the stuff that comes with the lingerie is usually pretty uncomfortable and not cotton, in fact I wouldn't call it underwear at all. You'll probably end up really liking the bustier but really look at the fabric the underwear is made of before buying it.

    Jangly-bits aside, Fredricks' design seems to have moved away from the uber-tacky, at least. Of course, maybe that's just a sign of competition for work edging-out lesser designers... #fredericksofhollywood

    @laureltreedaphne: Thank you! I have no idea what to do with this thought "I like lingerie. I want to wear it." How do you just start wearing lingerie four years into a relationship? Do I announce my intentions? Pop out and go "ta-da"? I guess I just don't know how to go about it.
    Does anyone out there wear stuff like this? I 100% would like advice, please. #fredericksofhollywood

    @Eleanor Ramilly: I do! I totally just pop out wearing it. And by pop out i mean out of the bathroom or bedroom. Not like, the house. Tho in my early 20's I did do the trench-coat coverup once or twice.
    I'm totally buying the gartered slip in #5. And maybe the tinsel-nips outfit in #11.
    I also love to hit up ross/tjmaxx/marshalls for lingerie -- you can get so much for so little! #fredericksofhollywood

    @Eleanor Ramilly: If you want to wear lingerie, wear it. Make sure you buy what you like, otherwise you'll never wear it. If you're worried about your significant other taking it as a sign that you're bored, just assure him its something for you that you want to wear. #fredericksofhollywood

    @Eleanor Ramilly:

    I wear fancy babydolls and camis (like number 6) to bed and hanging around the house a lot, because I don't like to sleep in a lot of clothing but need some sort of support to be comfortable. Little camis like that are generally the same price as a supportive sleep tank top, so I might as well get something fancy for my money.
    Maybe that could be your excuse too? #fredericksofhollywood

    @Eleanor Ramilly: Last week I went the route of wearing a red bra and red crotchless panties with garters holding up black thigh highs under a short skirt and sweater with some boots. S/He goes to the bathroom, you take off skirt and sweater.

    Face lights up and you are both very, very pleased at the end of the night! #fredericksofhollywood
