Hi Ladies, I just remembered what my mom said years back....that it's better to wear cotton underwear so the area down there can breath. The nylon, satin kinds of underwear keeps moisture inside and may cause ongoing urine infections. I remember I used to get them often one after another. xxoo
Hi HotDot your right of course, also pant liners can cause irritation with bleach and perfumes in them as well. i use the organic plastic, perfume and chlorine free by natracare.

I remember as a teenager putting toilet tissue in my undies as I sometimes had a bad discharge. No more discharge nowadays so I now use tissue in case I sneeze! Don't you just love being a woman xx
If there is another life after this one I am coming back as a man! It's really the pits! hehe. xxoo
Don't know if I would want to come back as a man either - they can come with their own little problems too 'pardon the pun'. Maybe a cat
Ahhhh you are right. I wouldn't want that thing hangin in between my legs forever. A cat would be better lol xo
HotDot - our mums were a wealth of good advice. All us sisters were never 'flash drawers'-types. Have you heard of Marks & Spencers? Good ol fashioned, sensible knickers for generations of woman in the UK.
I think the likes of Victoria's Secret gear is that its only left on for the 10 mins before its being ripped off by some handsome, rampant hunk......or am I just buying into the hype?!

Hi, I just got the same advice recently so I have bought new underwear! I tell you what with buying supplements and getting things like acupuncture this is an expensive business!!!!LOLX
Or you can wear none and just let it breathe and breathe away lol. Maybe that's why thongs were invented. Hmmm that could be the answer too xxoo
Yes moms were informative but we never believed them at the time being young and stubborn. I remember my mom buying me stretchy pants cuz they were soo comfortable. No wonder I got beat up a lot haha xxoo
I think my stretchy pants came from Marks and Spencer's 😢😢
I still have a drawer full of thongs but can no longer fit into them or look good in them. Can't believe I'm wearing Bridgette Jones style drawers now lol x
That is true cotton underwear is what girls need to wear but a lot of girls don't and they wonder why they have UTI'S and other infections
Don't worry dear you can always use those thongs as sling shots when you get angry hehe
It's best to choose comfort but we don't realize this til perimenopause hits....perimenopause brings out Wisdom. When perimenopause hits we don't care what others think we just want to survive this. hehe xxoo
I try to get cotton or cotton gusset but I actually like using panty liners every day anyway. I had diagnosed stress incontinence after the birth of my second child and even though I did get better I carried on wearing them.
I always buy my girls cotton, though now one is nearly no longer a teenager, she buys her own! Xx
Haha Hotdog and I was wondering if I could sell them to teenagers on Ebay!!
Yes, cotton and not too tight or the lumps and bumps will show. X

Remember a girl who used to get teased for padding her bra with her brother's socks (she didn't: she was just flat chested, and 14yrs old!! Teenage boys were worse than girls way back in the early 70s!) .
Also remember when I was about 21, a workmate sent me in to her (male) Boss' room to have a look for a bit of tissue.......that's fallen out of her knickers and she'd lost by the time she got to the staff loo! (The things you do for pals, when you're young....we were not fazed by anything!)
Giggled at your personal and varied 'used' for tissue in your knickers. I wonder if what you thought of as a 'bad discharge' was no more than good ol' natural lubricant - that we're all now having to buy in a tube now ha, ha!!
Yes Shaznay I miss my 'natural lubricant' and my time of the month too as a few days with pms was so much easier than all the hormonal symptoms we go through now xx
