Matching Bras and Undies

[fionas]

OK, as I approach 40 I've made a semi-resolution to be better groomed. My friends found this announcement hilarious when I was sitting there with VERY chipped nail polish on that had been there at least two months!

Anyhow, my underwear was peeing me right off. So I went out today and possibly for the first time ever bought matching bras and undies which felt quite decadent.

So, my question is, how many people buy matching bras and undies and if you do, do you buy multiple pairs of the undies. I bought two undies per bra cos I figure I wear the bra a few times but the knickers only once (obviously) before washing.

Interested to find out what other people buy.

I love buying matching bras and undies. Makes me feel so sexy even though nobody else can see it!!

I only buy one set of undies per bra because I find if I don't wash the undies and bras together, the colour fades and different rates and they end up looking pretty different, IYKWIM.

i have my "old" underwear that i wear at home - or when AF is visiting - but everything else is in matching sets. and i hate it with a passion when i'm trying to put the clothes away and i can't pair them up!

[widdly]

i have never owned a matching set!

I have great big boobs, so every bra i buy these days is so big and supportive that it looks like a grany bra and the matching undies certainly wouldn't make me feel sexy, they are usually big biege numbers

Oh Captain, I thought I had come up with a masterstroke buying multiple undies but never thought of the fade factor! This grooming lark is more complicated than I had thought.

Widdly - I know what you mean about troublesome big boobs - I'm a D cup and it's SO annoying to find a beautiful bra only to find it only goes up to a C.

I have been wearing my maternity bras because they're so darn comfy even though I stopped BFing four months ago. So I figured (and DP gently prodded) it was time for some new undies.

Fiona it can still work. Just make sure you wash them all together in the same wash.

I'm with you on the big boob thing. I'm a DD verging on E. I have found a great shop that stocks pretty things in the sizes, but it's a lot more expensive. I only but something when I REALLY need it.

Oh hell yeah! Ever since I left home (age 19) I have. Before that it was plain bras because my mum would see them, so I guess everything was white so it all matched. Save my black period pants!

Actually, I am in a black bra with red floral detail with plain black pants (period!) so not so wonderful today. But most of the time matching.

Usually just 1-2 pairs of pants per bra. I have a small chest so don't need seperate sports brasand thus wash regularly. But the pants usually have more washes than the bras and I've not had a fading problem.

Um, sexy big bras, try UK sites. Sexy bras and matching pants, but costly postage so buy a lot in one go! Sexy small bras, not so easy.

hth!
