Do you have a strong preference for one type of underwear over another, or is your choice more likely to be influenced by the circumstances - i.e. what else you are wearing, whether you are on a date etc.?
I find this a bit intriguing as I know of two very opposite opinions on this. My girlfriend for example never wears thongs. She still owns a few pairs, but hasn't worn them in ages. She finds them uncomfortable and prefers to have her butt covered, especially as it is quite chilly in Scotland for most of the year. Thus, she always wears regular briefs with full butt coverage. Her cheeky bikini bottoms are the only exception, and that's because she went for looks over comfort. On the random occasion where she might need to not show VPL, she has a couple of those seamless-type briefs, but never a thong. In the summer she'd rather go commando than have that string between her cheeks. We are both fine with this as lingeire is not a kink for either of us, but I do find it interesting how she has such a strong anti-thong position.
When I was in uni I shared a flat with a female business school student. We were on pretty good terms, but there was nothing sexual between us, nor did any of us attempt anything - figured that having a good flatmate was a valuable thing and did not want to add a sexual dimension to it. Being on good terms, we did split up the housekeeping duties and had a rota in place. I would sometimes help hang out the laundry, including hers, and I noticed that all her knickers (panties in the US) were thongs, from skimpy lacy ones to sports thongs. I did eventually bring it up as I was joking about having seen her underwear more often than her boyfriends and asked her how come she only wore thongs, as my impression back then was the they were more for special occasions, or for tight-fitting clothes. She was quite open about it and admitted that she hadn't worn a regular/non-thong pair of underwear in years and that when she got to the point where she was old enough to buy her own underwear, she always went for thongs. She said she got so used to wearing thongs that she found anything else uncomforable and even on her period she'd prefer using tampons so that she could avoid having to put on a pair of briefs.
Looking back I find this very interesting as these are two very different opinions on underwear preferences. As a guy I find it that we really are not that bothered, or at least not to the extent where I would specifically avoid one style of underwear, for example. Sure, I probably wouldn't wear a thong myself, but that's more because of a societal norm rather than practical reasons. I do tend to prefer tighter fitting boxer briefs as I like to have some support in the area, but I also go for looser fitting underwear if that happens to come up when I randomly pick a pair in the morning.
Do you ladies tend to have such strong opinions on underewear, or was it mostly coincidental that I got to hear two totally opposite and rather extreme views on the matter?
