No, really, I don't WEAR them, honestly, you have to believe me ...→[More:]
... they're in my underwear drawer in case of fire.
Especially bad are the already large-looking panties that get even larger once the elastic in them gets old. I feel compelled to continue wearing them because they're still functional. But they startle me every time I pull them out!
halonine: Oh dear God, throw them out. New undies are, what, $3? Pack of 3 for $5? Hell, I wear the fancier stuff longer than I probably should, but never after the elastic gets old. Plus, there's nothing that makes you feel better than new underwear. Seriously. Don't make me come over there to make you do it.
yes halonine, what rhapsodie says! Throw them away!!
never underestimate the power of wearing cute panties. Hell the cute cotton ones at Target are $3.99/pack. Jockey and Hanes both make flattering, cute cuts. Just say no to mom jeans and granny panties!!
I'm both cheap and broke, but I refuse to choose holey/tattered/worn underwear of any description, this includes sox. The minute any of it starts looking remotely ratty, it gets turned into bike rags.
I'm with halonine - Don't throw them out until they have to go - I mean, as long as they still serve their purpose. Now, if they're uncomfortable - they just gotta go.
But, more to the point - it's getting rid of those old bras that are no longer comfortable! Hey, now I know my goal for 2008 - getting nice ones that don't poke me (without spending a fortune.)

One of my New Years Goals is to get a bra fitting at a store with cute, not-ridiculously-priced-but-not-cheap bras. (I admit that I hold on to bras for Way Too Long).
What some of you folks are discounting is the need for period panties. Did I just say that? Out loud? Please blame the fact that I'm super-hungry and that all my pots and pans are still in boxes.
ANYWAY, giant granny pants that are otherwise repellent are perfect to wear on the first day of one's "moon cycle," during which all sorts of blood and guts flow insanely from one's nether region. That's all.

er... no. I mean I understand the concept of 'period panties' but fortunately I've never needed them. p'raps this is where the disconnect lies. maybe i'm off the bellcurve or something but this has never been my experience. hell, I don't even bother to wear liners. for the occasional minor misses, er, that's what BLACK panties are about. cute black panties.
*waves at all the disgusted boyz lurking in-thread*
Cute underwear is a must. I'm still upset that my panties with silk-screened children's blocks spelling out "spank me" on the butt wore out. I need stupid silk screened panties, because it makes me giggle all day. Just last week I had to give up my Metachat hot pant undies. Sad.
