Gee, thats funny Reuters, I happen to buy mine when the ones I have are getting old and need to be replaced. And sometimes buy a fancy pair if there is some sort of special event coming up. #underthings

Well, I guess my relationship is safe because my husband's underwear are horrifying. #underthings

Check out the photoshop of horrors on the squirrel's waist compared to the top of its legs. Think of the message this kind of crap sends to the young squirrels! #underthings

It's true. Nothing gets me hotter than a brand new pair of Calvin Klein boxer briefs. The most potent aphrodisiac ever. #underthings

Okay, I can't be the only woman out there who picks things up for her boyfriend because he has the MOST terrible taste in clothes? It's like forced styling. #underthings

@Penny:

my guy has decent taste, but hates to shop so would have nothing new in his closet if it weren't for me and his relatives. for some reason though his dad and sister continue to buy him styles of clothing i've never seen him wear, and are just plain nasty.

thankfully for him i love shopping online and his sizing is pretty consistent. he looks pretty damn hot if i can pat myself on the back here a bit! #underthings

How does this relate to the Underwear Index and what that means about the economy? #underthings

You know, I remember reading that most male underwear ads are really geared towards women since, in many cases, men wear underwear that was purchased for them by their wives/girlfriends/mothers. Which boggles my mind. I'm a guy and I started buying my own underwear as soon as I got my first job in high school. Relying on someone else to buy your undergarments for you seems so...juvenile.

@Penny: lets put it this way:

when my boyfriend is left to purchase his own underwear, he ends up sporting Masters of the Universe boxers with "I HAVE THE POWER!" printed on the front.
now, i love him dearly, and i'm fully aware that he has the "the power" (if you catch my drift). i don't need his underwear telling me this. #underthings

@GreyEminence: my beloved mr.lisas told me that I was slacking on my girlfriendly duties because he had to buy his own underwear (no he's not serious, he's a good man with an evil sense of humour). I had no idea! So he'd been buying all these tighty whities AT me and there I thought he was an eccentric who likes his balls cradled. Ah, love. #underthings

This is SO weird, because I was just wondering about this today -- when people buy used panties, are they looking for, like, used-but-generally-clean (ie, worn with a tampon in)? Because she mentions that buyers prefer stained-but-not-period-stained, and that leaves skidmarks (ew) and day-to-day vaginal secretions, which seem like a biological function guys like to pretend doesn't happen? So what does a prime pair of used panties consist of?

I'm a naturally curious person, what can I say. #panties

Wow, I couldn't even imagine someone donating used undies.

I think I remember reading an article sometime back about how even with regular washing, a certain amount of fecal matter remains on underwear (the article's point was to wash underwear by itself to avoid cross contamination of other clothes).

Just after reading that, I don't think I could donate my own used underwear. The hygiene factor would bar me.

I didn't know any thrift stores would even take used undies. I know when I've shopped at Goodwill or volunteered at other stores everything had to be new. #panties

A few years ago, I was between jobs while going to grad school. I filled the income gap by selling used panties on craigslist. It was easy, easy money. I researched and found that sending them through the mail could be sketchy (a woman was arrested and fined $250,000 for mailing obscene items or something) so I decided to do in-person hand offs, in a public place and with a friend close by. Men loved it. They were super into the fact that I was a cute college student. One guy told me that usually he has to buy panties from "meth addicts." They especially wanted older (though not ratty) and stained pairs (though not period stained), which was surprising to me. One guy paid me $200 to wear them for at least three days straight. Another guy gave me and extra $100 to watch me take them off in a Starbucks bathroom, no touching allowed.

The creep factor was pretty high, and I stopped doing it when one "client" started sending me dozens of photos of his penis to try to get me to sleep with him and my boyfriend started to get really uneasy about my safety. But overall, it was strangely easy money and made for lots of good stories. #panties

@tunabomb: Been there! Quick, easy cash if you can market yourself and don't mind being a bit skeeved. I was surprised, too, because a lot of the dudes were young, normal -- and hot. #panties
